Part 20.
Two hours of sitting and talking with this handsome CEO, it feels like the waiting every night waiting on the porch has paid off.
I admire him more and Mother knows that my heart is blooming. Like a tit for tat, it seems that Wendy is more interested in me than Mona.
I'm one step ahead of Sis Mona. Because for the next few months will continue to be in touch with this CEO, the matter of internships in his office.
But I can't be happy just yet, because Brother Wendy's status is single or already has a lover. Remembering this, I immediately felt inferior. Because my status is a student who has not finished college and has not worked either.
While this CEO must be surrounded by beautiful women, have good careers and are sexy. That's what I know from soap opera stories or social media. Haven't started yet, I'm already pessimistic.
"Okay Uncle and Aunt, because it's late, we'll excuse ourselves to go home! Thank you for the dinner!" said Bro Wendy.
"Okay, you're welcome," said Papa.
They shook hands with us, then said goodbye to Papa and Mother, I watched them until they disappeared behind the fence of their house.
"Ugh, that's so much watching them!" sneered Brother Rey while sticking his tongue out at me.
"Za, swear Brother Rey is eternally single" I shouted as I ran after him.
"Ahhh, why are you chasing like an Indian movie!" said Papa, laughing.

Throughout the night I find it difficult to sleep, his face continues to haunt and his humorous speech makes me comfortable being around him. Let me check the WhatsApp number, who knows he's making a story tonight.
And sure enough, he was online. The story was written three minutes ago, with the words "beautiful." Who is he praising, huh? I can't be happy just yet, it could be that the sentence was written for his lover.
I'm surfing on another story, there's Sis Mona which was active a minute ago. He wrote the sentence "bad mood." Hm, contrary to my happy mood.
After all, for what purpose, Sis Mona got carried away first. That is the result if you are too confident, so the results are not as expected. I was totally wrong about this situation. Sis Mona didn't greet me after they came home.
"Go to sleep, don't stay up all night!" one message came in, startled me who was getting sleepy.
As soon as I read the message, how come it's similar to the message the night before. I immediately opened yesterday's message and looked at it, it turned out that the sender number was not the same. I no longer reply to messages, because I'm so sleepy.
The next day ...
As usual, we gathered at the dining table for breakfast. Sis Mona's face looks sluggish, I was totally wrong. Maybe last night he couldn't sleep or even cried, because his eyes looked swollen.
"Mona wants to add rice, huh? Why do you eat so little?" Mother asked surprised.
"No bund! Mona isn't in the mood to eat!" she answered slowly.
"Are you sick, honey?" Papa asked, touching his forehead.
"A little unwell, Pa!" she said.
"Let's go to the doctor, shall we!" take Mother.
"You don't have to, Bund! You'll get better soon," replied Sis Mona.
"Halah, Mona has a fever of love, you know!" Brother Rey teased.
So sorry to see Sis Mona, she's been teased ever since. I just kept quiet, didn't want to talk. After all, his face was always sullen, so lazy to greet him.

Today I have to go to Brother Wendy's office to submit a proposal for an internship from campus. Actually I was embarrassed to contact the CEO, but it turned out that he sent the message first.
"Good morning, Za... how are the plans for an internship at my office? When is the proposal between the proposals? Asked Bro Wendy surprised me who just finished breakfast.
"I'll take care of it as soon as possible, Bro! I'm going to campus first and ask for a cover letter!" I explained.
"Okay, I'll wait, okay," he said.
I didn't reply to his messages again. It felt like a dream, getting to know this handsome CEO so quickly. Even though just yesterday I was upset, when night fell waiting for the CEO to come home from work
However, this is not as beautiful as one might imagine. Sis Mona has not wanted to greet me since the event that night. I feel sorry for her. But this heart can not be forced, on whom she anchored.
"Who's the call, Za?" ask mother
"From Brother Wendy, Bund," I said.
"Have you taken care of the proposal?"
"Not yet....the plan today is to go to campus meets the supervising lecturer, Bund."
"Yeah, well, you take Mom first! After that new to campus, yah!"
"Hm, that Wendy's response was fast, yah!?" said Brother Rey.
"Looks like there's a shrimp behind a rock here!" he said.
Brother Rey's joke made Sis Mona's face even more sullen at me. Duh, I saw a sour face in the morning.
"Don't think about anything else, just go to college first!" said Papa interceding Brother Rey's words.
"That's right, Pa! Brother Rey, just tell me to find a partner, so that the baby will quickly disappear!" I mocked.
"Oops, just relax guys! Rey will introduce the future angel to you!" he said with a satisfied laugh.
"Come on, let's go! We'll be late because we're joking too much!" Papa's orders.
Brother Rey and Sis Mona immediately got ready. The car engine had already been heated by Mr. Dirman, it was just a matter of leaving. After saying goodbye to Mother, they went to work. It's just the two of us who haven't left yet.
My class schedule today is relaxed, because I don't go to class. Just go to the office to meet the supervisor. And Mother is ready with her luggage.
"Shall we go now, Bund?"
"Come on, Za! Please bring that big bag!" she asked, pointing to a bag containing a robe that she wanted to send via online services.
"Wow, there's a lot of orders, right, Bund?"
"Yes, Alhamdulillah ... later stop at the shipping expedition, yah?"
"Okay-Mom!" I answered.
To be continued ....
