Chapter 11 - _Miss me, yes? Love you!

My phone vibrating in my skinny jeans pocket. Take it out and I looked at the screen. Private number.

Should I pick it up?

Should not?

The green button been swept!

Okay...

"Hey, baby girl!" says the person on the other side happily.

I ended the call immediately. What the heck! I abruptly stopped walking and stay rooted there while trying to register the phone call again. Wha-tt?

Isn't he was the guy whose keep texting me and called me baby girl? Shit!

He called again and I refused to pick up. Up until 10th times he kept calling so I've been decided to pick it up.

"Hey, baby girl? Why did you hung up on me and ignored my calls?" I heard his voice tone: sad and sulking?

"Are you there, baby girl? I know you were there cause I can see you from here...." his sentence trailing off.

Gulp!

What? My eyes bulged open. Slowly, I looked around with frantic eyes. Aware but moving like a turtle head examined my surrounding. Wait a minute, how come he could see me on my 4th floor staircase on the corner of the building?

Unless....he's here. I gasped trying to readjust my breathing and my body turned rigid before slowly regained my composure to walk from there as slow as possible silently afraid been discovered by that man.

Hold on a minute...did he stalking me? Did he knew where I lived? That was so scary!

"Haha...just kidding baby girl. Gosh, I just wanted to teasing you..."

What wrong with everybody tonight? Adored so much to tease me. Is it today a teasing day?

"Oh come on, baby girl... Talk to me. Please..." he pleaded me??

But why? Why would I have to talk to you back? I don't even know you!

"It's okay. You will know me soon enough."

Did I just thought it out loud? I smacked my lips suddenly trying to shut my mouth that being too loud...thinking?!

"Yes baby girl. I can hear you." he teased me again childishly. Sing a song the last part of SpongeBob SquarePants theme song but he had to change a bit of the little lyric.

Then I giggled on it.

Oops...I'm covering my mouth tightly with bulged eyes. Unintentionally, expressed the emotion towards his small gesture.

"Owh..how I loved to hear your giggles, baby girl..." he stopped like something won't let him continue the talking. He's sounds like longing me? Seems like I could imagine his reaction there...

Ooh...I must heard it wrong and shake it off from my head instantly but his voice, his so soft voice really so nice on my ears. Hmm...

I could swim myself freely on his oceans of his voices. So soothing and smooth to caress every single musles from my body...what were you rambling about, Didie!

All the silly thought disappeared immediately. Poofff! like a balloon been pop off.

He continued again in soft voice. "It's okay if you don't want to talk back but please do pick up the phone when I call you. If you're not...I will call you until you answer it. I'm a man with my words."

I blinked repeatedly, furrowed my eyebrows slightly annoying with this guy and pursed my lips into thin line. Trying to do nothing.

Why on his last sentence sounds intimidating? My thought has been interrupted by his voice once again.

"Anyway I will be watching you from afar to make sure you safe and sound. Don't worry your about to meet me soon.Wait for me, alright?

I tilted my head confusing. What was this guy with his 'meet up' statement?

"It's okay. I got to go, baby girl. Take good care of yourself for me, okay? Miss me, yes? Love you!"

I was stunned in the middle of first floor of staircases. He hung up the phone immediately after saying those words. Those magical words.

Daze...

What he did just said?

______________________________________________________

God!

Did I just said it?

Oh...she might gonna...

No! Please not.

What should I do? Looking out the planes small window, I frantically trying to get hold for a moment to adjust with my new courage to...let her know how I feel to her.

I smacked my forehead repeatedly. Not regretting it but worried if she rejected it. Can I handle the rejection?

Urggh...she might think that I was a crazy person. Stalker!

Yeah...

I couldn't even sleep throughout the night. So damn tired but couldn't rest at all. Didie Aulia...you did made me in this miserable state once again.

My mind wondered off to the one sided conversation. She didn't uttered any single word, nothing but, her alluring voice really made my heart beats like a crazy, crazy. Just a simple giggles came out from her mouth generate myself into a new level on how to trying harder to approach her easily.

I needed someone who can be my mentor teach me about girl. How to impress them, long story short, all of it. How about, Rudy? He'd married, already...

Krikk...krikk...

Will she remember me? The guy that she saved around 8 years ago? I keep on tilted my head to find all the possibilities...

*sighing* I thought it was easy how to tackle a girl but turn out it's not that simple at all.

The confidence in myself started to sway, shaken off from his axis.

Yeah, Rudy it is...

I nodded frantically and will talk to him after I done with my business here.

______________________________________________________

I flattened both my palms on the table, placing my left cheek on top of it. Stared away thinking the previous call that I received couple of hours ago.

Miss me, yes? 😑😑

Love you! 😯😯

Closing my eyes, I let those words circling around in my head. So sweet!

I might be listened to the wrong things but think again, that was the truth. My hearing still in the best condition not nearing to be deaf in a few years more.

Sighing...got so many questions in my head.

Why me? Why me? What did you look at me? Why? What? When? Where?

If he asks to meet me, will I able or have a enough courageous to face with him? Possibly...

Will he handsome enough for me? Maybe...

He...

Arghh...stop that Didie Aulia. I wake, lifted my head up and leaned to the chair instantly blinking away.

Stop with the imaginary love! Yeah...I should stop thinking about it at all.

"What is going here? You looked restless from the time you get here until now. Do you have something stress enough to share with me?"

"I don't know..." I muffled answering his question. Twirling my fingers not even turned to face him. Not even cast him a look.

"Why?" he asked again. Talha pulled out the chair next to me and sat on it without breaking the eye contact away from me. I could see him from my side.

I pursed out my lower lip look like sulking little girl not getting what she wanted. I glanced away.

"Come on...tell me about it. Maybe I could help you out with it?"

I looked at him sheepishly, could feel the warm started to spreading on my cheeks. Oh...I swear...I wasn't comfortable enough to share it anyone.

"Please..."

"No!"

Finally, I decided not to mention anything about the baby girl guy to anyone. Just let me handle it alone.

"Are you sure about it?" he stared straight into my eyes.

I nodded confidently.

"Alright, if you say so. I don't want too pushy on that matter but if you need someone to hear it with you my ears ready at his services anytime."

I simply giggled on his funny statement. You just did that, buddy being a pushy. 😋😋

"I will!"

"Good. So ready to order, mi lady?"

"Just give me fried noodles with you special sauce. No beansprouts on it!" that was my demands.

"Yeah...I got that already. You don't have to tell me twice."

He walked off to his stall and getting ready preparing my order.

What took them so long to install the devices, huh? My rented flat not so big like their houses but big enough for me to rolled around release the tension, the steam off of my body.

The beautifully folded scented letter was quickly inserted into the envelope before being stamped with his house emblem seal.

"Post the letter to my sweet doll." says the master with evil smirk plastered on his scarred lips.

"Right away, master." the servant quickly took off to do what has been instructed.

"Sweet doll..." he traces his scarred faces. The gifts came from his soon-to-be wife.

"Make sure you have her in your grasps. I don't want her to ruining my life again."

Oh Lady H...nothing to worried about because she will be coming home to me- soon!

His sweet doll entire life was already sets on the thick file place securely in his locked cabinets. Closing his eyes, he imagine herself into his embraces again.
