The Colorful Work World
Ch. 159 Pearls

A few months after the affair with the Goddess. In our sense there is no contact with each other. Last I DM Lamagram account of his and reply for a long time. This incident reminded me of one of the pure girls I started to approach before meeting the Goddess and Seli. That girl is called a pearl.

Just like the Goddess, the Pearl also came from the same school as me. But we are different majors, so that when High School first, We rarely do communication. If I remember again, I have known Pearl since the first Junior High. Because we were in the same class.

The most striking thing about this woman is her long, black hair. Then her skin was white, whiter than most women. Another thing I remember is that his ability in academia is not very superior to the average student. He also has a unique friend, because he has a large body. I don't know what the latest is right now.

After graduating from school, we never made contact. Until one day, when I was focusing on building a brand in my Lamagram account. There is a name that feels familiar.

“Mearly? I think he's heard his name. Who is he?” I checked the profile of me who gave like. It turns out it was a Pearl. We reconnected after this incident.

Starting from there, we started exchanging DMs. Then exchange news, even to meet directly. But it seems, at that time my level is still not proficient enough to be able to do a date that amazes the opposite sex.

[Pearl, I heard you again in C town huh?]

[It's true, why? is it like that?]

I explained to him that I had the intention to take a walk together. Of course, I didn't use the word dating to ask her off. Perhaps, he immediately refused if he asked her directly like that. After reciprocating the chat, we finally managed to determine the time and date we would meet.

Unlike when I met Dewi and Seli, we only had a one-on-one meeting. No one else is bothering us. You could say, this is my first time doing taaruf going solo. Because no third party is accompanying. Other than Pearl and Uswa, there seems to be no other girl that I go out with just the two of them.

With a thumping feeling, I waited for the next news from Pearl. Surely after we set the exact date we would meet, just waiting for what I could do. Day after day passed, until at last. The time I made an agreement with the Pearl has come.

Before leaving on my bike, I had dressed up as much as possible. Then I took the bike to where we were gathering. If I usually meet with girls directly to the restaurant. This time we met at a minimarket. A rather unique place as a meeting place, right?

Of course as a gentleman, I arrived before the time of meeting. But as expected, Pearl does not come on time. I was worried that he would suddenly cancel this meeting. Because unfortunately, I've dressed up handsome like this but the date didn't.

Luckily a few minutes later, I saw Pearl get off her parents' car. It looks like he was driven to this place.

“Papa, just relax” I said with a smile

I was surprised to see the appearance of the Pearl at this time. She does not wear a hijab, just like her pictures on social media. But I didn't expect that this one woman was brave enough. Using short-sleeved clothes and jeans that have been torn. I don't know if he's happy dancing like this or because he just went with me and made it like this. From her costume, I began to consider lowering expectations for continuing the relationship to a further level.

After pleasantries, we continued our journey to find a place to eat. At least a place where we can sit and talk about some things while relaxing. But unfortunately, it seems that goddess Fortuna did not support my show this time. Because it is currently a pandemic, all eating places do not allow dine in. Inevitably, we could only talk while walking around.

It's been two to 3 places we came to dance our seats. Fortunately, we managed to find a seat after more than half an hour of walking. Finally we can start the core of our meeting this time.

Question after question I put out to get to know Pearl further. Surely I try not to use questions that can offend my opponents. But it seems that we are not a match, it seems that Pearl is not too comfortable to chat with me for a long time. Moreover, he ended the conversation with a remark that he still had other activities and seemed to rush to go home.

Of course I accepted it and finally drove him back to the meeting place before. After seeing him picked up by his parents (who could have been someone else who picked up because of the car does not look who is in it). I just returned home after only 2 or 3 hours of walking along with Pearl.

But this date is like an ultimatum. My relationship with Pearl went into freefall after this date. My DMku is not ignored by him at all, either from WA or from Lamagram. We are suddenly like strangers. Seeing this, I tried to discuss this with my friend, Rendra.

[What do we think, bro?] Ask him through chat

[It seems like you're not a soul mate, bro. He is not interested in you. Find the others. Rather than wasting PDKT's time on him]

“...”

Hearing the opinions of my friends and considering various things. I decided not to chase Pearl back too much. There are still many girls out there, with full confidence, there must be a soul mate who is indeed for me. Approximately, how many more struggles should I go through before meeting him?
