The Autumn In Heart
The Part 10

The rain had subsided, we woke up from a deep sleep. Despite the tightness and cramped sleeping on the sofa, the body feels fresh after sleeping long enough.

I cleaned up the sofa where we fell asleep, including pillows and blankets. Briyan was sitting on the porch, he was seen lighting his cigarette. I thought he couldn't smoke, only this time I saw him.

Since the weather was still cold, I made her a cup of coffee for her a cup of milk coffee for me. I went back to my room to get a jacket in my old closet. Then go back out to meet Briyan. But Merry goes into his room playing his gadget. He didn't want to interrupt both of us. Had he known in fact he did not interfere with our time at all.

I accompanied Briyan to sit next to him. Seeing me sitting down, he quickly put out his cigarette. I think his attitude is polite. If he hadn't switched off his cigarette, I might have left him alone outside.

"Where's Merry?" briyan asked while sipping her coffee.

"She's playing her gadget in the room."

"Good, we can be alone" he smiled at me. That sneaky smile of hers really pissed me off.

"Is there anything important sir? if there's a quick say, if there's nothing you should go home to," I said casually and loudly.

"You are so fierce, you never called me hani. Isn't that our deal?"

"I'm scared sir,"

"Fear what?"

"I'm afraid I'll really fall in love with you later." I'm getting cranky and irritated.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha, let's say you are my real soul mate, my ribs or half my breath, I will accept you as Goddess, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha," he laughed out loud.

I was silent to hear him keep mocking me. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I'll repay him for this. I'm really pissed at him. He was even relaxed, as if the world he could control now.

"Goddess, so look at it. My grandmother and grandfather wanted to see you as soon as possible. Whenever you're ready, I'll take you to my house," he said casually but I'm sure from his tone he was actually also tense.

"Yes, I'm ready anytime. But I don't want my appearance to be embarrassing there. I want you to take me to the salon, buy some decent clothes or whatever it's important I don't look embarrassing."

"It's easy Goddess, we can go outside now if you want to" he said again.

"Not now sir, the weather is overcast. I'm afraid we're stuck in the rain again."

"Yes, whenever you are ready I pick you up" said Briyan.

For a long time we chatted, our chat was only about his home and family. For me it doesn't really matter, because they're not my real family. However, I will still pay attention to other small things. Because I don't want to embarrass myself.

Not long after it rains again, the weather gets cold again. I saw Briyan getting cold, so I went back into my room and opened my wardrobe to find a jacket for her. Fortunately, I remembered the jacket I usually had to take to work cutting chickens. The jacket was quite large and thick, it would definitely fit in Briyan's wear.

I took out my maroon jacket and handed it to Briyan. Briyan happily accepted it. I don't know what he was thinking, to be honest I never received a male guest at my boarding house as often as Briyan and during his visits. I took a deep breath, hoping he would come home soon.

"Sir, why are you staying at the hostel? why don't you just stay at your house?" manya curious. I bent my knees and hugged her, a sign that I was cold.

"I like freedom, I prefer to be alone in a tight boarding house" he said, lighting his cigarette. The strong wind made the cigarette smoke fly here and there, not focusing on me.

"Is there a problem in your house, sir?" ask again.

"Absolutely not. Actually I come home often. But since the accident that hurt you, I've rarely come home" he said.

We were still sitting on the cold terrace. Suppose Briyan was my husband I loved, maybe now I want him to hug me to give me warmth. The good news is, no lightning strikes, because I'm most afraid of lightning strikes. If there was a lightning strike, I would have gone into my room, pulled the blanket and covered my ears with a pillow.

The next day, we worked as usual. I wore a black hem top workwear with brown trousers. It's just that the hem I'm wearing is the hem from inside my old closet. I haven't worn this Hem in a long time. I miss my clothes and all the bags I have.

I offered to lend Merry a bag to her, because she only had 2 bags that she used interchangeably.

"Merry, if you wear my bag. It's in that closet" I said pointing to my other closet.

Merry opened my closet, he looked confused choosing the bag in front of him. He chose a cream colored bag for him to wear.

"You have a lot of bags" he said, looking at my bag, "I really like this model of bag, if we have time later I want us to shop for a while to buy bags and clothes for me."

"Yes, that's easy Mer. Wait for next week," I said to fix my hair.

My hair is long, but it's a mess if it's not pigmented. I was thinking maybe I'd cut it short, to make it look neat.

We both went to work. This time I used my motor matic to piggyback on Merry. We arrived at the parking lot, the employees began to arrive with sumringah faces.

All the employees seemed friendly to me. At first they all looked ugly. I don't know, I don't understand and I don't care. I'm just dizzy about receiving a salary this month that's too small. Approximately, if I ask for an additional salary to my future husband, will he give it? I murmured in my heart.

Nah! it was the same as dropping my pride. I went into my room, Briyan hasn't come yet so I made him coffee before he asked for it. Usually he would ask for milk coffee in the morning, and black coffee which was a bit bitter during the day.

I put milk coffee on Mr. Briyan's table. Suddenly 4 women appeared and entered Briyan's room. Someone with beautiful makeup approached me and looked at me cynically.

"So, you. the new secretary and the new wife of Mr. Briyan? heh! where did Briyan pick up this gem??" he said, wagging my hair, he didn't look happy to me.

I clasped his hand. "Don't hold-hold! what if I was his wife-to-be? you jealous?!" I answered his words.

Wooaawws... His friends heard my words.

"You can't be Briyan's wife, you're not her type at all. He's just interested in me, you know?!" he said cynically.

"So, why don't we just obrol this problem 6 points. You, me and Briyan?" kataku.

"Yes, we'll talk about these three after work hours are over" he said casually and left.

I took a deep breath, apparently Merry was watching me from her room. Merry's coming after me.

"What did Yuri say to you Goddess??" Merry looked nervous after the woman's departure.

"Oh, so his name is Yuri. Why don't you ever tell me that Mr. Briyan has a relationship with Yuri??"

"What relationship?? mr. Briyan has never had any relationship with Yuri, as far as I know. You better confirm it to Mr. Briyan as soon as possible. He's too dangerous for you."

"I've never been afraid of him" I said casually and curtly.

No matter how long Briyan came, I couldn't hold back my emotions. It feels like I want to slap his face with my fist, you land crocodile man! my caci in heart.
