PART 12 - SMALL PARTY
Ben had just arrived at Michella's apartment, he rushed downstairs and opened the door for Michella. Then grabbed Michella's groceries which she put in the trunk of the car. Michella was very happy because she felt like she had someone so precious in her life.
"Ben, here let me help you carry it."
"No need, Mic. It's a very easy job."
"Alright! Then, follow me okay." cried Michelle enthusiastically.
Ben nodded slowly and handed his car keys to a valet on duty at Michella's apartment. After that, Ben rushed to follow Michella behind him.
"Ben, give me some, I don't want you to have any trouble carrying those things," Michelle mumbled worriedly.
"It's okay Mic, I can handle it."
Not long after the elevator doors opened, they finally arrived at Michella's room. Michelle immediately pressed the bell, before long someone opened the door. Ben was a little surprised when he found a man who opened the door.
"Hi, Mic! Are you home yet?" exclaimed Jose.
"Well, you're still here. Oh yeah, this is my friend, Ben."
"Hi, Ben. I'm Jose!"
Ben had to smile. "Nice to meet you, Jose."
"Who's coming, honey." Kate appeared suddenly before them.
Ben can breathe a sigh of relief when a woman calls Jose dear, while Kate is stunned to see Ben who is already in front of her.
"Michella, am I dreaming?" Kate asked nervously.
Michelle was flabbergasted. "What? What do you mean?"
"That... That's Mr. Ben Stone." Kate stammered.
Michelle sighed. "Yes, you're right Kate. This is Mr. Ben Stone, let's Ben, let's go inside." Michelle's orders.
Ben immediately went inside, while Kate still couldn't believe that today Ben would come to her apartment.
Ben put Michella's groceries on the table. While Kate still can't believe that Ben will visit her apartment, Michella rushes to make Ben a drink.
"Please Ben, have a drink first," said Michelle enthusiastically.
Ben smiled. "Thank you, Mickey."
Kate lay down next to Michella, while Jose sat beside Ben. Kate was still amazed to see Ben.
"Kate Olson?" Ben exclaimed, reaching for his drink and sipping a cup of Michella's coffee.
"Yes, I'm Kate Olson, sir," Kate said quietly.
Ben sighed, then put his cup back down.
"You don't have to call me Sir, just call Ben. Since you're Michella's best friend, I want to thank you, Kate."
"Thank you for what?" Kate asked confused.
"Because you have sent Michella to come to my office."
Kate was surprised to hear Ben's statement, she didn't expect that Ben would even thank her.
"Ah, yes you're welcome Mr. Ben. Ah, I mean Ben. I also asked about that question, I didn't mean to offend you. Until finally Michella was affected by the question I wrote."
"It's okay, it's a natural thing. It's not the first time I've received such a question, many other students have asked the same thing as you. And as for Michella, I liked her from the first time I met her." Ben mumbled and it took both Michella and Kate by surprise.
"Oh my God! So I took my best friend to meet her soul mate." Kate said happily, while Michella just rolled her eyes.
"Kate, what the hell are you, it's rude to talk like that." Michelle protest.
"What Kate said is true, Mic. You are a soul mate sent by God, through Kate."
Michella was stunned to hear Ben's words, while Kate immediately lightened the mood by inviting them to celebrate a small party at her apartment.
"Since Ben's already here, how about we have a little party celebration. Think of it as a successful party for my work that got great marks and celebrates meeting you two."
"Good idea, Kate. I'll order some food." Jose exclaimed who immediately left in front of them.
"I'm going with Jose to order some food." Ben immediately got up from his seat to chase Jose.
The atmosphere in the apartment has now calmed down, only Michella and Kate are left. Kate turned to Michelle. Then hugged Michella tightly, Michella looked tight because Kate was pressing her body so hard.
"Kate, do you want to kill me? I can't breathe." Accused Michella who tried to let go of Kate's arms.
"Michella, I'm so happy that you finally found your soul mate," Kate muttered enthusiastically, then let go of her arm.
"Kate, what the hell are you doing. I don't necessarily have a match with Ben."
Kate took a deep breath. "Michella, don't you think the things Ben bought are his way of making you happy?" Kate pointed to Michella's groceries on the table.
"But Ben said it's a gift for me, does that fall into the category if Ben is my soul mate?"
"Of course, why are men willing to buy everything if not for liking you? Come on Michella, you are a lucky woman. Ben is a good man if you marry him. Your life will be guaranteed, don't you also need money for your mother's treatment?"
Michella was pensive because what her best friend said was also true. The most important thing is the fate of her mother, she continued, because her mother and father have taken good care of her since her parents died.
"Gosh! Thanks, Kate. You warned me, but if it's begging for mercy like that I guess, I don't want it. I can still earn for my mother's treatment."
Kate resigned herself to hearing what Michella said, even though she could read from the look on Ben's face that Ben liked Michella. Shortly after Jose and Ben came, they immediately rushed to put the food he bought on the dining table. Michella and Kate were wide-eyed when they saw Ben and Jose bringing a lot of food.
"This isn't a small party, it's a real party," Kate muttered.
"Ben why are you buying this much food, you're so wasteful!" cried Michelle in annoyance.
Ben furrowed his brow, he didn't expect Michella to be so angry with him.
"Michella, are you mad at me?" Ben asked quietly as he approached Michelle slowly.
"Michella you don't have to worry, Ben, Kate, and I will eat all this," exclaimed Jose.
Kate stared, but she just nodded her head so that Michella wouldn't be mad at Ben. Michelle's anger has now subsided, they immediately started the party. Michella is very happy, she thinks Ben is not only good with himself. But he also treats his friends well.
They have been enjoying the food that Ben bought for 1 hour, so Ben can't even go home. Ben asks Kate for permission to stay one night at his apartment. Kate agreed with Ben's words, while Ben immediately went into one of the rooms where the room belonged to Michella.
