Chapter 6: Let's Get Back To Work (Part 7)

I looked at all of these papers in front of me, "I want to make a deal with your company because I wanted to help you," I took a deep breath, and I'm looking at the contract, "I decide, right?" He nods.

"Do your items have insurance?" He nods, "if I don't have insurance, will you cover it?" I nodded, "I will," he hums, "so, how about your shoulders and ribs? I heard you've been experiencing worst than my daughter?" I nodded and took a deep breath. "It will take a long time to recover, but I have a fiance now," he smiles.

"Glad to hear that," I sign the contract, and I shake his hand, "Did my daughter makes you uncomfortable? She's still a trainee here. I can fire her for you," I was laughing and shook my head. "No sir, she's a hard worker like her father," Mr. Durham pat my right shoulder. "I'm happy for you, don't mess up this time, kid! You deserve her," I'm smiling, "thank you, sir." I walked to his office door, and I looked at a picture next to me. "She's beautiful, her mom." Mr. Durham nods, and he looks at me.

"Honestly, your fiance looks like her, Lobak. I miss her," I nodded, "you should come to her if you miss her, sir. Even death tears you apart. If you love her, the feeling is still there," I took a glance at Kenzie, "but sometimes it will take too long to find a way to go back home, but when were you love 'that someone.' If you did not love 'that someone,' you should forget it and move on," I saw Kenzie's stars at me.

"Well, if you don't mind, I should go back to my wife," Mr. Durham nods, "be careful," I nodded.

I sit on the bed while she was watching these sucks tv stations, "my opinion about the Indonesian Tv channel it's sucks, Rose. I don't know what to watch, can you suggest me?" She shook he head, "Me neither. I don't know why my mom watched that drama," I nodded. "I rather watched K-Dramas than Indonesian drama, seriously," she looks at me and smiling like Pepe. "What? Why do you like that Emoji!?" She hugs me.

"You don't like it?" I nodded. "Honestly..." I heard someone knocking on the door, and I saw Kenzie walks towards us, "you have time?" I nodded. "I'm bored with that Tv," Rose staring at Kenzie, "it's okay, babe," Kenzie sighed.

"I saw it! By myself! She was cheating!" I want to talk, but Rose shook her head. "Let me talked to her," I nodded, "you want the full story?" Kenzie looked at us, "Aliya wasn't cheating, Kenz. She wants to surprised you, but she met her friend, Dani. Honestly, she wants to go home, but Dani forced her to accompany him to the cafe, and he kissed her." Kenzie stunned.

"You still don't want to forgive your wife!? She depressed, Kenzie!" I sighed, "I know Aliya, Kenize. She's my only best friend, my childhood friend. I know her better!" I sighed. "She did that because Dani was forcing her! My wife told me that you were the one who was cheating with this girl!" I show her a picture.

"Don't lie to me, Kenz! You should admit it now!" She sighed, "you were right, I was 'cheating' with my friend who was marrying her boyfriend! So, who was accusing me!?" I saw Aliya walked into my room.

"I thought she's already home," Rose slap my head, "shut up!" It's hurt, "why?" Kenzie sighed, "I need time!" Kenzie stands up, and she looking at Rose, "are you doing this, Rose? Why would you want to get involved to get into my own damn business!?" I hold her shoulders and stare at her.

"If you try to hurt her, I swear to God I kill you in front of Aliya!" Kenzie growling, Rose holds my hand tight, and I rub her arm. "Let her do their business, okay?" I looked at Rose, "what if we were dating?" She looks at me, "but it's time you to rest," I saw Kenzie and Aliya debates. "I can't sleep if they won't stop," she nods. "You right! They would disturb another patient if we kicked them.

"I agree," I hold her hand, "lets we run away to the cafe, okay? I want to eat apple pie," she smiles and hugs my arm. "Let's go!" I nodded. "I want truffle," I sighed, "okay, truffle," she laughs, "come on, Ms. Hyde." I nodded.

"How? Do you like it?" She nods, "it's like, I'm eating from the ground," I nodded. "Have ever you eat this?" I shook my head. We decided to orders a lot of food and went to this hospital's rooftop. With cold air, West-Surabaya as our scenery, it's romantic for her. "You want to take a bite?" I nodded. "Sure," I'm eating the truffle, "it's good," she hums. "Are you okay?" I shook my head and put on my food.

"I was thinking to retire writing," she looks at me, "I'm afraid you will misunderstand me, and we like Kenzie and Aliya," she laughs. "Did you have a trust issue?" I nodded. "You want to hear that?" She nods. "Please, don't be mad at me," she shook her head. "If we know each other past, we can understand each other, like Author Anderson's said," I looked at her, "If we don't know each other past, how can we understand each other? How can we love each other? All we do is fight, fight, and fight because you don't let me know about what you are scared of!" I'm laughing as I hold her hand tight.

"I had faith in her. She was let me down several times, and what the hell is she wants! I trust her to keep her promise and never left me, but she did." I ate my ice cream. "She won't admit it that I have autism. When I love someone, I never lie, but all she did is a lie, lie, and lie more." She hums, "And the 'cause it is not from her, mostly from when I was in the Elementary school. I have a crush on someone, but my friend leak it, and I hate it!" She looks at me.

"Because I don't give them money. In my high school, junior high, and elementary, I never feel what's a friendship looks like until I met Kenzie, Kevin, and Helmi. They are special to me, Rose" She hugs me, "hey, if you need someone to talked. I'm here, for you, always." I looked at her, "thank you," She smiles and wipes my tears.

"So, what do you want to eat?" She looks at me, "that's fast," I looked at her, "that was Jekyll who talked?" I'm looking at her, "yes, she was." I give her the burger. "Where is yours?" I grabbed kebab. It's a vegetable, not beef." She hums.

"Hey, I was thinking of adding kebab to our menu," I'm looking at her, "are you serious?" She nods, "but not beef!" I chuckle, "I thought you would add beef kebab on our menu," she rolled her eyes. "In the office, what happens?" I sighed. "You and Hanks will go to the harbor tomorrow, prepare our trucks because Mr. Durham wants me to deliver his medical gadgets," she hums.

"Don't quit writing, Lobak. I love you because you have a lot of talents, and I would be sad if you retired soon," she hugs my hip and lays her head on my shoulders. I wished this night will last forever. You, me, and nature, I love you, Rose Salsabila Mary. And I always do.
