"Hu'um I'm sure so too, rich chick she's not your type and level," those words kept ringing in Melisa's ears. Somehow Riland's reaction because Melisa could not see the reaction of the boss' face was also unable to hear the response that Riland gave because the man did not say anything about what the interlocutor said. Enough for Melisa, Riland silence as an answer to the statement made by her interlocutor.
Melisa realized she was not a beautiful and attractive girl, she also knew it was impossible to reach her boss' feelings but hearing firsthand how Riland did not like her enough to make Melisa feel the wound in her heart.
Melisa smiled, laughing at her own stupidity for feeling heartbroken. "shouldn't get carried away ! He might not like it ! It hurts now, right ?" The words Melisa aimed at herself while paying attention to the iced coffee that was now at the bottom of the trash can.
Every night, every Melisa will close her eyes she always imagined the face of the boss and hope someday her love will be reciprocated but it turns out that it was her delusion just because it turns out Riland did not feel the same way.
"That's really you, Mel !" Melisa muttered softly to herself as she rubbed her wet cheek with the back of her hand. Melisa feels foolish to have harbored her love for a Riland.
Actually Melisa was not satisfied crying and doomed herself but she had to hurry away from the place and return to her original place with Leah.
"Great acepet, Riland sleeping ?" Guess Leah because she thinks Melisa's coming back so fast.
"Huh ?" Melisa asked back because she didn't understand. At the moment he cannot concentrate.
"Huh, hoh, huh, hoh !" Ledek Leah's.
"You're so full of iced coffee, Riland's sleeping ?" Ask Leah again.
"Oooh, I did not give Riland his iced coffee, so I threw it away" Melisa replied indifferently.
"Why is that ?" Ask Leah. To the point that he paused for a moment something he was working on just to listen to Melisa's answer.
Actually Melisa is lazy to recall the bitter thing that has not happened for long. But it looks like Leah will continue to demand her answer. "When I went up to the 2nd floor, Riland wasn't alone, I heard him talking to someone again,"
"Aahh yeah, I forgot to tell you if you have Stefan upstairs. He is Riland's cousin who lives in Jakarta. He comes to Bandung if there is a family event. Have you ever met yet ?" Ask Leah.
Melisa shook her head slowly, "I just found out that Riland has a cousin" Melisa replied.
"Tar also met, the person is good," continued Leah and Melisa just smiled lazily to hear it.
Melisa already did not want to meet let alone meet the man who had been so demeaning.
"Btw, why did you throw away the iced coffee ?" It seems Leah's curiosity has not been satisfied.
"I only bought one, and above there were two. And we don't like coffee, do we ? Yes, I threw it away" replied Melisa.
Leah mangosteen seemed to understand, although in fact she considered what Melisa did a little excessive.
"Let's work ! I want to go home fast today," Melisa said as she reopened her laptop screen and tried to continue the pending work even though her mood had shattered.
Before long, there was the sound of two people coming down the stairs while talking to each other. Melisa knew that. But as much as possible he acted as if he did not know the presence of Riland and his cousin. He immersed himself in work until the two men did not notice his presence there.
"Gue has come a long way, beware that you run away" said the man named Stefan before he left.
"Yes, rese lo. Go there !" Expel Riland.
Not accept expelled, Stefan also berated slowly. "Damn it ! Bagini ni has sodara minus akhlak, maen expel as good as his eel." Said Stefan again.
Melisa kept bowing her head, she did not want to see let alone to get acquainted with the man, Riland's cousin.
"Leah, I'll go home first... Do you want me to take you home too ?" Stefan asked Leah who was still busy at the checkout table.
"i'm really looking forward to it, but ask my boyfriend. Let's not if we go home three," said Leah Cuek and Stefan look keki hear it.
Stefan's departure was followed by Riland's laughter which broke because of Leah's actions earlier.
"Well, Mel? You were there "asked Riland
"Hu'um," Melisa replied without raising her face to reply to Riland's gaze. He focused on his soon-to-be-completed work.
Seeing the busy Melisa made Riland cancel her intention to question the girl. Riland decided to walk into the storage shed and return to his desk on the 2nd floor.
***
At half-time 6 pm Riland came to Leah who was still faithfully sitting behind the cash register and carrying out her duties. For a moment Riland scanned the surroundings and he did not find Melisa there.
"Leah, Melisa where is it ?" Ask Riland.
"He came home half an hour ago" Leah replied.
"Well, come home ? How did the tumben not permit me first ?" Riland was astonished when Melisa left without telling him first.
"Cieeeee who feels lost," ledek Leah.
"not so ! It's a wonder he didn't say it first" Riland said.
"rush times, to me also not much talk," said Leah.
"Yes, maybe so,"
***
"welcome to the RH Store" Melisa said excitedly to someone who had just entered the clothing store where Melisa worked.
"are you again ?" Melisa was amazed when it turned out to be Raya, her schoolmate.
"It's almost 12 noon, and I came as we promised yesterday. Let's have lunch together!" Speak without further ado.
"Huh ?" Melisa raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
"I'm serious, take you to lunch" Raya said again.
Leah encourages Melisa's body to go with her boyfriend. "Take him ! Kasian from earlier daydreamed only," said Leah who replied Melisa an eye delicacy.
Raya insists on inviting Melisa to lunch, while Leah continues to force Melisa to leave. Lazily Melisa draped her bag on her shoulder and went to lunch with Raya.
Shortly after Melisa's departure, Riland came down from the 2nd floor with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Where's Melisa?" Ask Riland. Melisa was next to Leah all day. Riland felt that Melisa was avoiding him.
"Come away with Raya" replied Leah.
"Who is raya ? " Task Riland while sipping his coffee.
"Rich... The handsome one is really loh and soon be the same Melisa,"
Hearing Leah's answer, Riland spontaneously spouted coffee water that was being drunk.
