Chapter 4 - Bra Size

Nuansa coming home early today to avoid being late for her meeting with Neptunus. She doesn't know what the man is like, who knows he's a-gets-angry-easily type, so as much as possible she avoids things that can upset her client.

"Are you sure you will meet him with a look like this?" asked Durah who doubted the look of her daughter who appeared to be a simple tomboy this time.

"Why should I hesitate?" Nuansa asking back.

"You're going to meet a client, I thought it would be great if you dressed a little bit formal, and you didn't have a dress or something, but at least put on a little tidier."

"Well, I agree," added Arfan.

"What formal clothes do I have? Elementary school uniform?" Nuansa joked. "No problem with my look, I will be myself in front of him, even though I'm not a real tomboy, but, I just want to look according to my abilities. Besides, I will only be his fake girlfriend, not a real girlfriend," she continued.

Hearing that, Durah and Arfan then glanced at each other.

"Fine if you think that's the best. We will always support you," said Durah. Nuansa then hugged her parents.

"I have to go," the girl said goodbye.

"Be careful, take care of yourself," said Arfan.

"Ok."

Nuansa then goes to the restaurant she had promised with Neptunus. Because according to the address given by Neptunus, the restaurant is located not far from her house (only about 30 minutes on foot), Nuansa decided to goes to the restaurant on foot.

"Woah, is this the restaurant?" muttered Nuansa who was stunned to see that romantic restaurant.

"At this rate, my meeting with him will feel like a date," she continued. The girl then entered the romantic restaurant.

Upon reaching the door, Nuansa was greeted by a male guard wearing formal clothes.

"Welcome, Miss," said the guard, who's surprised in Nuansa's suit.

"Yes, thank you," said Nuansa friendly.

"Excuse me, Miss, are you come to eat?"

"I don't think a restaurant is a place to swim."

"I mean, what table did you order and in whose name?"

"To eat here we have to order a table first? Do you guys only have a few dining tables?"

"It's the rule if you want to eat here, customers have to reserve a table a few hours before dinner."

"I see. Hmm, I'm not sure, is there a man named Neptunus Bimasakti ordering a table here?"

"What's the number for the table, Miss?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me."

"Very well, I'll go in for a moment to ask for a table order on behalf of Neptunus Bimasakti. Please wait here a moment, will you, Miss."

"Ok, I will wait."

The guard then entered the restaurant, and less than 1 minute later, he came out again.

"Please come in, Miss," said the guard.

"Wait, is that means Neptunus Bimasakti does reserve a table here?" asked Nuansa.

"Yes."

'Oh, Fani was right, it looks like there will be no fraud,' thought Nuansa.

Nuansa then conveyed to a table with 2 opposite chairs. The table is near a large swimming pool decorated with roses that forming a symbol of love. Around the edge of the pool, there are only 5 more sets of excluding the table used by Nuansa, so the view is very wide. 

Plus, the conversation between the couple will not be overheard by other couples, because the distance from one table to another table is quite far. Nuansa is waiting for Neptunus' arrival while continuing to remember his face so she can confirm that she has met Neptunus Bimasakti later.

About 10 minutes after waiting, the girl saw a man in sunglasses and a tuxedo approaching her. The man is exactly like Neptunus.

"Nuansa Indahsari?" the man said to Nuansa. His voice sounded very macho to Nuansa's ear, making her heart beat faster and faster.

"Y-yes," replied Nuansa nervously, her face suddenly turned flushed red. 

'Why am I being nervous?' inner Nuansa.

"I'm Neptunus Bimasakti, you can call me Neptunus. Yes I know it's a little bit long, but do not protest," Neptunus said while sitting and release his sunglasses

'He's a little bit fussy, but he still looks impressive,' inner the girl who does not stop admiring Neptunus.

"Very well," said Nuansa.

"So, what's your nickname? Indah? Sari?" asked Neptunus.

"Nuansa, my nickname is Nuansa," replied the girl.

Neptunus was silent for a moment. "Well, that's kinda strange for a name, but, it's good actually."

Nuansa then chuckled.

"So, you're twenty-one years old, huh?" said Neptunus.

"And you're twenty-three."

"You're not a tomboy, aren't you?"

"Mmm, I guess so."

"Why do you look like ... just ... 'not that', you know ... ?"

"Really? I mean– I look fine."

"Yes, but you should wear a glamorous dress, not with this look, so, of course, you look 'eh'."

"No, no, that's not what I mean. I was mean to say that I am not stiff, just like you."

"Then ask me at least one question."

"Wait, what? Shouldn't you be the one asking me?"

"Ladies first, I will ask you after you ask me. I will only ask you one question."

"What? Age? Status? Home address?"

"Those all are stupid questions, you've already put them in your data."

"Oh, yes, hehe."

"Ok, ask me."

"Wh-"

"But after eating. Your mouth stinks, you must not have eaten, right?" interrupted Neptunus. Nuansa's reflexively smells the smell of her mouth which does smell bad.

"You're quite sensitive as a man," said the girl.

"Everyone will be very sensitive to your bad breath."

"Is it annoying?"

"That's why I ordered foods a few hours ago."

Several servants then came to deliver the foods ordered by Neptunus.

"Ok," said Nuansa.

They then immediately ate their respective food quite heartily.

"It's delicious, it must be expensive," said Nuansa after finishing her meal.

"Mhm, your daily wage from me will not be enough to pay all of this," said Neptunus. Hearing that, Nuansa who was drinking then choked.

"So what's your question for me?" continued the man, who had also finished eating.

"I find it rude if I ask you too many questions because you're my client, so ... I'm just going to ask, why did you hire me? I mean, I know I have no right to ask this, but, you asked me to ask, and ... you know what I mean. "

"My family and friends urged me to find a new girlfriend, they said if I'm alone for too long, then I will never move on from my ex."

"And in fact, you have never moved on from her, right? That's why you hired me?"

"I moved on, but it's just too hard to find a right girl."

"Why? Are you traumatized because your ex has broken you up?"

"Are you sure there are girls who can break me up if they date me?"

"Hehehe, no."

"Good. Our relationship ended because she's died, now you know."

Nuansa was silent for a moment. "S-sorry."

"It's okay."

'No wonder it's difficult for him to move on,' thought Nuansa.

"Ok, can I ask you now?" said Neptunus.

"You can ask me whatever you want," said Nuansa.

"But you must answer it because I'll only ask you one question."

"Of course I will answer you."

Neptunus then brought his face closer to Nuansa's face and stared at her intently. This of course made Nuansa's heart beat faster and faster.

"What is your bra size?" Neptunus asked.

"...huh???".
