Ep.25 - Lunch Incident

Edelweis has never been this curious about people. He is not a person who will care about the personal life of others, it is enough life that he lived, if you have to take care of the lives of others as well, it seems Edelweis can not.

But this time it was different. There was one night where he heard how Jonathan messaged. Unfortunately, the intimacy shown was not for Edelweis, but other women who were not Rethas.

This is what makes Edelweis here.

With great curiosity, Edelweis ventured to follow where Jonathan was going. And, here he is. In a simple restaurant that was quite far from the city, the place was almost close to the outskirts. However, it cannot be denied if the atmosphere in this restaurant is so wearing. Simple impressions, items arranged in such a way as well as the aroma of food cooked directly in front of visitors is the main attraction.

Not far from Edelweis at this time, there is Jonathan also Retha who is also enjoying food in this place. They were both wearing hats that covered the face, so the chances of the media catching their wet was small. Perhaps, they do not want if until the media knows if the rising artist is currently caught going on a date with a boss of the media company owner.

If asked, is Edelweis not found out?

The answer is, hopefully not. Because as much as possible Edelweis manipulates his appearance, as much as he can style not as he usually is, do not forget also the same hat he used to cover his face.

Seeing Jonathan who laughed off made Edelweis jerked instantly, seeing how romantic they both made him more sure if it was impossible that between them there was no special relationship. There must be more connection between them.

For some reason, there was a feeling of dislike that he felt seeing how great a Retha made Jonathan laugh and happy.

Could Edelweis have fallen in love with her husband?

“Mbak Edel, why silence?”

Edelweis looked up, he looked at Sinta who was sitting before him. Sinta was struggling with some documents, but she was made curious by the silence of Edelweis. Although actually from the beginning Edelweis did not talk much, but since they ate together in pecel catfish, little by little they began to close.

“According to lo, Sin. Is it possible that the boys continue and they seem happy if they both have no relationship?”

Sinta raised both eyebrows, “Maybe-maybe anyway mbak. After all, today there are many people who are happy with others without a clear status. So, if in the end you both like, yes, maybe-maybe aja.”

Edelweis let out a rough sigh. “If you become a guy, what kind of girl dreams do you like?” edelweis asked, he raised next to his eyebrows.

“The good thing is most important. Not only beautiful in face, but also beautiful in nature and attitude. Sometimes gini loh, mbak. Don't go far, we're realistic. If there is a handsome guy, we certainly immediately like it without us knowing how it is. But, just as we know the nature of it may be 'bad' that, it must be a handsome guy so minus in our eyes. Likewise, on the contrary, the same guy who has a mediocre face, if his nature is good, it certainly becomes a plus. Isn't that right, mbak?”

Edelweis thought about Sinta's words, he confirmed that he was thinking about it again.

“If you are told to choose between me and Retha, you choose who?”

Suddenly, Sinta became silent to the question Edelweis. To be honest, he doesn't want to hurt other people. But, Edelweis looked at him fixedly asking for a quick answer.

“Mbak Retha the artist?”

Edelweis nodded, “Iya.” Edelweis raised both eyebrows, "Who? Who will you choose?” ask Edelweis.

“H... I select, hm...—bentar, mbak. I'll pick up the phone first.”

Edelweis clucked slowly, another case with Sinta who felt grateful and grateful to the person who called her so that she was free from her painful questions.

“Good Sir, I'll convey.”

Sinta put the phone back where it was when the person who called her disconnected the phone. He looked at Edelweis now, "Mbak Edel, told to go in with Mr. Jo now.”

Edelweis frowned, “Loh, who called you Jonathan?” tanya Edelweis who is influenced by Sinta. “Dih, why didn't he call me directly try? Why go through lo?”

Sinta shook her head slowly, “Don't know, mbak.”

Edelweis sighed softly, he got up from his seat and prepared to enter Jo's room. Without knocking on the door, he immediately entered.

“Lo can be Del, knock on the door first? Learn politely deh.”

Edelweis indifferent, “Lo why call me here? Where, you asked me to come in through Sinta again. Why don't I just call?” edelweis.

Jonathan did not answer, he just moved from his place and walked toward the sofa while carrying a file that I don't know Edelweis himself.

“Lo read this, Del.”

Edelweis approached Jonathan, he sat down before the man and took the file that Jonathan had thrust on him. He carefully read also understand the contents of the file and how surprised he was when he knew what the contents were.

Edelweis looked up, staring in disbelief at Jonathan. “Jo, is this serious?” ask Edelweis to make sure.

Jonathan nodded, “Ya. Actually I don't need to also tell you about this, anyway you also have never been concerned with this all before. But, I guess after what happened the same lo, you should also know this all.”

Edelweis fell silent, he nodded understanding Jonathan's intentions. The contents of the file provided by Jonathan is an information that explains some of the company's losses obtained on the cancellation of the contract of cooperation with the company Dexa Group. And, the losses obtained are not a small amount, but can reach hundreds of billions of rupiah.

“Gue tell you this is not to make it a load of lo.” Jonathan explained his point, especially Edelweis immediately fell silent after he told him all this.

“Such losses, not the real big deal. We can still find other working partners and the loss can be covered, although it is undeniable that one contract with Dexa group is equal to 2 other large company contracts.”

“But, what loss is important? I don't think it's. When there is the self-esteem of women who are harassed and demeaned by the leadership of the big company directly. I think this decision is the right decision.” Edelweis grew increasingly silent at Jonathan's explanation.

“Maybe we lost a lot of money, but at will we managed to save one self-esteem, that is lo.” self-esteem

What Edelweis caught from Jonathan's explanation was that the man sided with him, the man cared about his honor as well as his pride. If you already know this, why did Edelweis fall more and more in love with the figure of Jonathan? And, making him want the man all the more fully, wants Jonathan to really be his.

***

Sinta told her what Edelweis asked her earlier, she was currently enjoying lunch with Adinda as usual. If lunch anyway, Edelweis rarely join, maybe once in a while. But, if it is called often it may not be either.

“Keep, you don't give me any answers?”

“No, I'm afraid of my fault. Anyway, if I wanted to be honest, it would have offended Edel. We know Din, mbak Edel was the least liked if Mr. Jo in the same gosipin as Mbak Retha.”

Adinda nodded, “Iya too. At that time he was also angry, yes the same we because we talk about Retha mbak with Mr. Jo.”

Sinta flicked her finger, nodding in agreement. “Tuh, you just remember the same day.”

“But, you believe not really Din if it turns out that between Mr Jo and Edel did have a relationship? Moreover, there is a rumor that they still live together, where there may be no relationship at all.”

She thought silently, tapping her finger on the table. He remembered the time he was with Edelweis following Jonathan's car, where Jonathan went to see Retha.

“Din! How to fuck!”

Adinda jerks, “Not really. But, maybe even if Edel and Mr. Jo still have a relationship.”

“It looks like a serious relationship is not it?”

“Maybe.”

Jonathan opened his lunch box, smiling happily at what Retha had sent to the office for him. Don't forget, a note was stuck there.

...‘Eaten up Jo's lunch. It's got bacem eggs, fried chicken and sauteed vegetables. Hope you like my cooking. Oh, yes, brownies also do not forget to eat, delicious tuh dijadiin dessert. ...

...Enjoy darling... ...

...Retha’ ...

Jonathan smiled at Retha's handwriting. He took the spoon and fork that had been provided by Retha, then began to taste one by one his menu. And as always, Rethah's cooking is never wrong. Always succeed in making him happy.

However, when the second bribe, suddenly his stomach feels turbulent making him quickly move to the toilet to vomit the contents of his stomach.

Jonathan immediately cleared his mouth, he looked at himself in the mirror. “Gue why?” jonathan asked, confused by him.

Jonathan came out of the toilet and found Edelweis, who was in his room, standing with his tent.

“Lo why here, Del?” jonathan asked, he approached Edelweis.

“Gue... I'm..” Edelweis was confused to convey how, he did not want to mispronounce which would harm him later.

“Lo, why?”

“Gue wrong order and instead buy a lot. Than I waste food, mending I love food for you. Tuh, lunch for lo.”

Jonathan was silent, staring at the food that Edelweis had brought. “No need, no need. Anyway, I have food too. Lo, just give it to another.”

Edelweis looked at Jonathan's desk, he poked his lips and saw clearly what food was there. “Ih, what food. It was the best food I brought. You eat my food aja.” said Edelweis as he put his food and began to close the lunch box without caring about Jonathan who had prevented it.

“Apaan sih lo, Del. Here's my food!”

“No! You eat the food I bring.”

“Ogah!”

“Ih! You know, yeah! Anyway, what the hell is this food? Fried chicken too! Same time I brought!”

“Bed! What you bring is all junk food, not healthy! Still mending me eat, food from the lunch box, healthier.”

Edelweis shook his head, he hid the lunchbox. “No! Eat the food I brought!”

Jonathan grunts annoyed, “Del.”.

“No!”

Jonathan chuckles annoyed, he tries to take back the lunchbox that Retha gave him. However, Edelweis continued to hide it, distancing it from Jonathan's reach.

“Del!”

“Ih... Jo!”

Edelweis was holding the lunchbox, Jonathan kept pulling it. As a result there is a scene of mutual attraction of the dining box that ended tragically, where the lunch box fell that made all the contents scattered.

“Edelweis!”

Edelweis grimacing, “Sorry. Deliberately.”
