Is all this just a coincidence? If it was all a dream, surely I couldn't move any faster. I purposely slapped my cheek hard.
Plaque!
"Hey! What are you doing?" shouted Jebran suddenly.
I just stared at him when he said that.
My eyes glared low at this man who was trying to approach me.
"Are you going to cover the woman's death?" Jebran began to spread his first smile. Oh, no-no! Not the first, but the second.
Certainly! I've seen him smile but not at me. Did I forget where? Who knows! It's hard for me to think about it. I began to look deeply into his face. Did you come to my house?
"You know my house?" I asked surprised.
"Who doesn't know Mrs. Maila and Uncle Jordan?" he said casually.
"Emira, you didn't tell her to sit down did you?!" mother shouted from inside the kitchen.
I immediately turned to the source of the voice and then began to stare at this man again and again.
"Sit down first! I want to take a shower, my body is starting to itch," I grumbled without a smile.
Now I'm the one who responds to his cold behavior. I step through his body which is taller than me.
While he was still left alone. I ignored this man again as I stepped on a straight road and turned into my bedroom.
I locked the door tightly, then leaned back and took a deep breath.
Huuuutt!
"It's like a dream! At first, I liked him, But now I hate him. Why is he in my house?!" I grumbled deeply.
I slowly peeked through the keyhole of the door.
I saw my mother was giving me a cup of hot tea with a little sweet snack.
Jebran stood in front of the glass window which showed a view of the small garden outside the glass door.
You can see a shower flowing in a small pond overgrown with green plants and colorful flowers.
And what's unique is, there are a lot of plastic cherry blossoms that I put between the inner room.
I have loved cherry blossoms since I was little. Well, somehow? I like that pink flower.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
I was stunned when my mother approached my room.
"Emira, hurry up and take a shower and accompany your boss!" he said loudly from the outside.
I stood up straight while swallowing my saliva deeply.
"What is this? Do you know I'm peeping?!" I muttered.
"Yes, ma'am. Soon!" I shouted from inside.
I put the small bag on the dressing table. Immediately I cleaned myself up for almost forty minutes.

Jebran almost fell asleep on the sofa relaxing. Fortunately, television is a friend to him. I came out with an ordinary appearance. Long sleeves with short sleeves.
"Long time?!" Jebran grumbled while chewing a snack.
I saw television accompanying him waiting for me.
I stood still watching him who was engrossed in watching.
"Ahem!" I snorted.
"Ah! Why are you still standing?" he grumbled.
"What are you doing here?" I asked curiously.
"I'm just making sure the whereabouts of my men who are always disobedient. Your uncle said you always come home late and don't care about the people in the house. So I went to see," he said looking at me.
Really! This is so weird! He returned to watching with a small laugh.
"Then what is the other reason?" I continued.
"Come on, let's go to the Police station to cover the news in general!" Now his body is standing straight in front of me.
I blinked my eyes to see him getting serious.
"Wait! I have to get my jacket," I said suddenly in response to his invitation.
I quickly went into my room and grabbed the jean jacket hanging beside the wall.
"Come on!" I said casually.
"You didn't bring anything?" asked Jebran.
"No, only cellphones. It's a pain to carry this and that," I grumbled.
"Okay!" he concluded.
My mother approached us who were about to travel. Meanwhile, this polite man bowed to my mother while saying, "Auntie, I want to accompany your daughter to a place. Don't worry! I will take care of her."
Hah!
In my heart chuckle.
"Yeah, be careful on the road, okay?" call my mom agreed.
How come? Every mother must be happy if her child is close to a handsome and young boss. It rarely happens. What if that person's fate is very lucky? But, I seem to reject it outright.
In the car, I just stared at the road in silence.
"What's your dream?" asked Jebran.
"Huh! My dream?" I answered a little nervously.
"Nothing," I snapped.
"Who put that many cherry blossoms?" he asked curiously.
"That's me!" I said.
"Why?" I turned to ask the man who wanted to know everything.
"You like the flower?" asked Jebran.
"Well, I like it," I said.
"You know? I was in school in Japan. That's why I'm younger to be a CEO now. I have a dream and a stronger determination. Moreover, my father is the best businessman in Asia. He asked me to do anything," said Jebran.
"Are you proud of yourself?" I thought.
"No, what's wrong with telling stories? You're very sensitive, it turns out," he grumbled.
"Well, it's up to you then. Keep going!" I broke up.
"Are you going to Japan?" he asked suddenly.
"I prefer Korea. Hemm, well I like places that have cherry blossoms," I said.
"You can do it later," he concluded.
Jebran pressed the gas pedal with speed.
I just looked at him in amazement. This man is very mysterious. Even though he was a man who never got along with other people.
Never friendly, kind, even warm. I shook my head in confusion as I sat down next to him.
How strange!
***
We arrived at the Police station to get information regarding this case.
"I'm going to meet Fredi, he is my friend." I walked ahead of Jebran.
What I was looking for was easier to find. Fredi stood with his two colleagues at the door.
"Fredi," I shrieked closer to him.
"Ah!" He turned to me and then avoided his two comrades.
"Emir, what's wrong?" he asked curiously about our arrival.
Jebran approached me then greeted Fredi, "Good afternoon, we will cover the victim's family."
"You mean that woman?" said Freddy.
"Well, I happened to have contact with him," I said.
"Then, let's go to the crime scene first. I happen to have this assignment," said Fredi.
"Good then!" I said cheerfully.
We immediately rushed to the scene of the incident.
The murder of this woman concerns me. Some know that he knows me and is very in touch with me.
I have to know what happens
In front of a high-rise building. A mini apartment was displayed near us. Fredi led the way. While I followed first.
My foot suddenly got caught by a rock and almost slipped. My body was suddenly pushed from the opposite direction.
My shoes stepped on a very slippery rock. Jebran caught my body that almost fell.
Now, we are like dancers who have stopped moving. He and I stared at each other with my hair falling as it fell.
I was amazed by him who caught me nimbly.
This man looked at me intently.
"Ahem!" Freddy messed things up.
Jebran released my body to the ground.
Ah!"
"You?!" I grumbled as my body ached.
"Be careful next time!" Kit Jebran started walking away from me.
What this man? Catch me but let me go.
You freak! I just shook my head as I lifted my body. However, a hand was pushed in front of me.
I saw the man's face. Fredi even wanted to help me to get up.
I grabbed his hand and then got up with Fredi's help.
Jebran looked at me with annoyance even I the opposite.
You will find surprises in the next chapter.
What do you think will happen?
