Chapter 22 - Morning Bath?

The next day, at exactly 5 am Arseno woke up from a very deep sleep. He stared at the bed of the woman who was beside him last night. However, there was no one. Arseno now sleeps alone.

Arseno is now frowning as if looking for the woman who slept right next to him last night.

'Where is he going? Did he move because he didn't want to share the bed with me?' Arseno thought, feeling that he had lost someone.

Arseno looked at the exact clock at 5 am, it should still be very good for sleeping at this hour, considering that the two of them had only fallen asleep at 2 in the morning.

"Ah, he must have gone to the maid's room. Why are you difficult to tell? If Mama finds out, I'm the one who is in trouble," Arseno scorned alone.

Arseno immediately got up from his bed and headed towards the door. In Arseno's mind, today he will be angry with Jingga for disobeying his orders.

But before Arseno stepped out, someone was heard coming out of the bathroom. Arseno immediately turned his body to face the bathroom.

Sure enough, the person he was looking for was now in the bathroom.

'Arseno, what a fool you are. You're wasting your sleep just to look for this woman,' thought Arseno when he saw Jingga coming out of the bathroom with wet hair.

"You're awake?" asked Jingga with a very fresh face unlike Arseno with his pillow face.

Arseno frowned seeing Jingga who was shampooing this morning. After all, it rained heavily last night, so you can imagine how cold it was, right?

"Did you shower? Why so early?" asked Arseno.

"Early in the morning? It's already 5 o'clock, Mr. Arseno, and I'm used to taking a bath at this hour," answered Jingga.

"It's still early, Jingga, you go to the boutique at 8, right? There's still plenty of time to sleep," said Arseno.

"Sir, I am used to taking a bath at dawn, if I don't take a bath at dawn I might be late for morning activities. Please understand that there are very few bathrooms in the orphanage, while there are many children," said Jingga.

"Then what do you do after you shower?" asked Arseno.

"Working, I will clean up the apartment so that when I get home I don't have too much work to do," explained Jingga.

"Work?" asked Arseno.

"Yeah, fine, Mr. Arseno just sleep, I'll wake you up when breakfast is ready," Jingga immediately walked towards the door.

"Breakfast?" said Arseno.

"No need to make me breakfast. I'm not used to eating your cooking," said Arseno curtly.

Jingga smiled wryly at Arseno's words which hurt him a lot.

'What are you saying, Ginga? Mr. Arseno will not eat any of your cooking, last night he was just hungry so you don't expect more,' Jingga immediately left the room without looking at Arseno.

'Did my words hurt?' Arseno thought, seeing Jingga immediately closed the door to his room.

"It's none of my business." Arseno returned to the bed to continue sleeping.

2 hours have passed, now it's 7 in the morning. Jingga already cooked fried rice for breakfast and also lunch for him. Jingga also saw Arseno come out of his room and go straight to his private room which is on the second floor.

Yes, Arseno's apartment does have 2 floors, the top floor is his private area. Arseno also said that Jingga was forbidden to enter his private area unless it was urgent.

Jingga who saw that it was already 7 o'clock immediately rushed to change clothes to go to the boutique. Exactly 30 minutes passed he immediately came out of his room and immediately left the apartment.

As a boutique owner, Jingga doesn't want to be late to the boutique, Jingga wants to set a good example for his employees.

Since Arseno's apartment is further away from the boutique, Jingga has to travel quite a distance.

Jingga left without saying goodbye to Arseno, with quick steps Jingga immediately ordered an online motorcycle taxi that would take him to the boutique.

Unfortunately, no one received Jingga's order. Yes, it's a little drizzling today, for some reason online motorcycle taxis don't seem to accept Jingga's orders.

Jingga stood in the lobby hoping for a miracle to come to him.

"Do you just order a car? Ah no, the price can be doubled, I can't be extravagant," said Jingga.

"Miss," someone called, surprising Orange.

"Niko's secretary," said Jingga.

"Miss, want to go to work?" asked Secretary Niko.

"Yes, do you want to pick up Mr. Arseno?"

"Yes, I want to pick up Mr. Arseno. Do you want to go together?"

Jingga was silent as if he wanted to accept it, but the memories of Arseno who were often curt at him seemed to be dancing on Jingga's head.

'If I accept Secretary Niko's invitation, I can save money but Mr. Arseno will be angry if I go with him,' thought Jingga.

"No, Secretary Niko, after all, my boutique is further away, isn't it? If you take me, you will definitely be late for the office. Well, then I'll go first," said Jingga.

"But Miss ..." Secretary Niko's words stopped when he saw Jingga who immediately made up for the drizzle of rain.

Secretary Niko sighed seeing Jingga's reckless actions.

'A woman like you must be very strong Miss, I hope Mr. Arseno will love you soon,' Secretary Niko thought.

"Secretary Niko," said Arseno who approached Secretary Niko.

"What is it?" asked Arseno.

"No sir, I just saw Miss Jingga here waiting for an online motorcycle taxi," explained Secretary Niko.

"Then where is he?" Arseno looked left and right but Jingga was nowhere to be seen.

Indeed, Arseno had been very upset with Jingga for not going to say goodbye to him.

'Women don't know themselves, they always leave their husbands without saying goodbye,' annoyed Arseno.

"Miss Jingga has left, Mr. Arseno, earlier I had offered a ride but Miss Jingga refused," Secretary Niko explained.

"Didn't he order an online motorcycle taxi?"

"Maybe it's because of the drizzle, so online motorcycle taxis are a bit difficult to get, Mr. Arseno," explained Secretary Niko.

"So what did he go on?" asked Arseno.

"Walk, Mr. Arseno, I don't know where he is," answered Secretary Niko.

"That woman is so stupid, why is she getting rained on when her rich husband has many cars," Arseno arrogantly said.

'How will he take advantage of your wealth if you don't give him, sir, it seems you are too rigid in dealing with Miss Orange,' Secretary Niko thought.

"Well it's up to him, let's go. We have a lot of work today," said Arseno.

"Yes sir," replied Secretary Niko.

Meanwhile, Jingga walked to make up for the pouring rain. But Jingga had no choice but to make up for the rain that had started to wet his clothes.

'No Jingga, you can't stop, the angkot will pass soon, believe me,' Jingga thought to himself.

'Damn, why did I expect Mr. Arseno to come with an umbrella for me and say let's get in the car and I'll take you to the boutique,' thought Jingga who was calm.

However, as if it had come true, Jingga felt someone following him with an umbrella, just like Jingga's shadow.

'What's this? Am I dreaming?' Jingga thought without seeing the person who gave Jingga protection from the rain.
