To The Man Who Broke My Heart
41. Dresses

After the briefing, I headed straight to the study. I'm planning to contact Roni for

knowing how some things are going to be done today. However, before I could do that, my phone was already clinking first. Alex's name appears in the notification floating on my phone screen.

Alex: I picked you up before twelve o'clock

Alex: before meeting the office people we eat first

Alex: I know a good lunch spot

I'm shaking. As a young man with an athletic body, I didn't expect Alex's appetite to be very, very, very big. I can't imagine how much time he has to spend on gyms to pay all his debt on calories consumed. I know Bang Rian "wasted" a lot of time at his subscription fitness center. I'm sure Alex is too. They're not much different.

Yeah, God. Why would they torture themselves like that, anyway?

By, Kayra, demiiii.

Ugh. I immediately replied to Alex's message with just an "ok" followed by a thumb emoji being held up.

We'll have a meeting with Mr. Rahardjo and an architect who have been appointed by the company nereka for the branch project of this foundation later in the day. Actually he didn't need to pick me up because the meeting was going to be held in his office, but somehow he insisted on having lunch together first.

I could only shake my head in the face of the man's behavior. His absurdity reminds me of what he said two days ago.

Kay, I like you.

How could he say that he likes me after meeting a few times? However ....

The conversation with Bang Rian a little opened my eyes that I could not play games while determined to be free from the pain of the past. I won't let anyone play games

heart again. I will not let what happened in the past control what happened today and what I will go through.

....

"By the way, I'll keep answering. No. I've never done this to another girl besides you. You think I am also not surprised by the courage and the decisions taken unilaterally by my heart now? Astounded. Banget. But, I once met someone who was so freaking awesome. He said gini; when you know, you know."

Whats?

"So this is me knowing."

Oh, my God. How can I say no to .. that?

Silence again.

I used that opportunity to turn what Alex had said this moment inside my head. Repeatedly. Until a decision, or more correctly called a bid, is formed there. “OK." I nodded in. I looked into his eyes tightly. "If you dare to do that, say in front of all my family, that is, I promise the answer to your question later is .. yes."

I saw Alex's eyes grow. Not out of anger, but out of surprise at the answer I gave. "What's? Mean you?" This time it turned out that I managed to make him agape.

"Yes. That'll be the answer to the question you're gonna ask me later, Lex. I think I understand what you're trying to say, which way this conversation is going. If our thinking is the same, then you will also know what the answer means." Seriousness is still on the air. I'm sure the words

I said it would be the biggest stumbling block for him if he meant to

fooling around with me.

A few moments passed before Alex extended his right little finger towards me. "Promise me" he said in Kalakian. "Promise me you will really answer that when the time comes, yes."

Not "if", Lex, but "if". If that happens. I smiled, both on my lips and in my heart. “You have my words.” Then, our fingers are linked.

....

Is that hard to do, right? After all, no matter when the "sudden time" Alex referred to would occur. Maybe it'll never even happen. Ah, nevermind.

I went back to work. Actually, the two-week activity went well because we have a very professional team. I just have to check a few more things for formality. While checking the file, my phone rang again, this time a chat notification

Teletubbis. It felt like I hadn't talked to them for a long time.

Lulu: The dress is ready, mothers?

I heard the notification ring again. Danagis. And again. The others were not busy.

Mimi: there's still plenty of time, Non.

Wide: I've been delivered to the tailor dong subscription

Orggre : later. If the sewing now be afraid not to fit the day H

Lulu: don't make a bete deh

Me : haha

I couldn't help but laugh, not even in the message. Lulu is famous for her temperament. Just got teased just like that he's already starting to burn.

Me : bye ah, not on Lulu's fad

There are still three months left, Luuu

Me: we’ll be ready when we’re ready

Me: the important thing is do not forget to send a photo of your dress

Lulu: thanks Kakay gorgeous

Lulu: others on ngeselin

Lulu: only you know how I feel

Jiahs. His melodramatic attitude relapsed again. This attitude becomes worse as the day of her wedding approaches.

Lulu: okay okay

Lulu: the important thing is everything must be ready on time

Lulu: beware if there is any intention to joke me

Lulu: imprank me

Lulu: I'm really going to sulk

Lulu: do you guys know?

Duh, duh, duh. Really, really, this is girl one?

Wide: just calm, bride-to-be

Wide: we dare to touch you in time like giniii

Wide: beautiful gini we are not so evil

Wide: right, guys?

Damn the Wide.

I closed the chat application and made a note in my head to immediately check my suitcase at home. After arriving, I really should check it out right away.

Cilaka twelve if I forget to bring the escort package from Lulu. Especially if he finds out. It's not a big deal, but I don't want to be in trouble with anyone right now.

And, thus, the work again attracted attention.

To be continued ....
