Nanti pas gue liburan di indo, gue ngeles bhs indo sama elu yah? lol
Iya nih, masih rada trauma diomelin orang krn pake bhs inggris, I can't really blame them, I know it can be construed as pretentious, tapi mo gimana lagi, asli susah bener coba nulis pake indo.
anyway, moving on, chapter 3 was more of a setup for the setting of the story ahead, so I thought I'd go ahead with chapter 4. I'm so glad you like it so far. Thanks for your support!
"Joooohn!" Chris memanggil namaku dengan setengah berisik.
"Hey Chris, How are you doing? Wait, why are you whispering? And why are you up at this hour? Isn't it like 4 AM for you?" I couldn't hide the smile on my face. I was happy to see him, even it was only through Skype.
"Mate, I know you missed me a lot, and you're so excited to see my face, but please, one question at a time!" He said with a big smileon his face.
"Yeah, right!" I scoffed.
"You need to get over yourself mate!" I shook my head and rolled my eyes, but I could feel my face was turning red.
I hate him.
I hate the fact that he can read my mind.
I hate that he is always confident.
I hate that he's always right.
"Tell me what's going on. Is there something urgent from work? If you're asking about the report, I was just about to.."
I tried to change the topic.
"Woah woah, mate, slow down, will you?! If you know it's 4 AM here, then you should realise that my brains are not fully functioning." He said slightly annoyed while rubbing his eyes.
"Well, no more than the usual then?" Now I'm the one with the evil grin.
"You cheeky monkey! God, I wish you're here so that I could give you a good slap!" He said.
"No seriously, as much as I think that your bed hair looks adorable along with you fashionable bath robe, I'd like to know what your urgency is?" I was happy that I still could slip in some sarcastic comments in it.
"Hey, hey, you know I always look cool in anything!" He said proudly.
It was true. He looked cool in anything.
His bed hair looked like the hair style that younger kids did these days, and his robe, well, it made you feel invited to take a peek.
"Now if you could shut your face for a second so that I can talk?!"
"You're the Boss" Again, me and my evil grin. He hated it whenever I called him 'boss'.
"Ok, so nothing urgent, it's not work related, I just need a small favour from you."
Looking to his left he said and whispered "I'm whispering because I don't want to wake her up."
"Wake her up? You mean there's a girl in you bed right now?" My voice was slightly raised without me realising it.
"Shuuusssh, what did I just tell you, keep it down, will you?" He looked to his left again as if he was taking a peek into his bedroom.
"You know the girls from the sushi bar last week?" He asked while he was trying to keep an eye on the bedroom.
I nodded, trying my best not to make any noise.
"What's her name again?" He asked with genuine concern look.
He looked more like a little boy when he did that.
Seriously, how come he get to be so cute?
"Which one?" I tried to distract myself from my thoughts.
"The one that I DIDN'T sleep with last week?"
"What? Wait, you shagged Angie too?" I was shocked.
"Aaaaah, Angie, of course...." He mumbled to himself ignoring my question.
"That's right, Angie.." He looked relieved.
"Hang on, Are you actually telling me that you shagged Angie a week after you shagged her best friend? Honestly, you're just..., that is just not the way to treat a lady. I'm very disappointed with you" I told him off as if I was his father.
He laughed.
"Hey mate, listen, in my defence, if you saw why we did last night, you would have not called her a lady, if you know what I mean?" He said with a self-satisfied smirk on his face.
God, I love that face!
"2 birds in one week? You lucky bastard!" I said pretending to be jealous.
This is why I never wanted to compete with him when it came to girls, I didn't really like my chances.
I mean, just look at him. What stupid girl would say no to that?
"No no..., no no. Listen, lucky is for those who strike once or twice every now and then. Now you know all too well my score, my dear friend!" He said braggingly and laughed.
"Well, ok then, I take it back, you're just, A bastard" Trying to bring him down with my snappy comebacks.
"Yeaaaah, a charming one too!" He giggled proudly.
It was obvious my attempt didn't work.
But I secretly loved the proud look that he had.
There was a mix of mischief and innocent at the same time.
"Thanks mate, you saved my life again. What do I do without you?" He stopped giggling and looked a bit serious this time.
Trying to be charming to me now?
"Yeah, alright, alright, safe it for Angie when she wakes up, ok?" I refused to take his compliments.
"No, seriously." He looked more serious, and kind of sad too.
"What would I do without you?" He said with his green eyes piercing through all my defences.
I blushed.
"Your bed hair looks adorable." I teased him, but ended up sounding more like a confession instead.
"And I really do wish you were here." He replied. That was definitely a confession.
"I really missed you." He looked so sad.
Suddenly I realised that he didn't really need to be up this early.
Angie could be just an excuse.
He could get away easily without remembering a girl's name.
I knew for a fact that it wouldn't the first time.
Does he mean what he say? Does he really miss me?
I heard a bit of noise in the background from his end.
He jumped in panic and looked into the bedroom "Shit, she's waking up. I've got to go."
I felt as if a dagger went through my chest.
"You take care mate, and I, hm..., I...." He was trying to compose a sentence while being distracted by the noise from the bedroom.
I didn't know what he was trying to say, but at that moment I wanted nothing more but for him to finish his sentence.
"well, I...," He looked like he wasn't sure whether he should say it or not.
"Just....get your arse back here as soon as you can ok?" He sounded slightly angry.
I smiled.
"Yes, BOSS!"
He looked at me even angrier. I felt guilty now for calling him that.
"Yes.... Chriseee...," trying to redeem myself without sounding too desperate.
"Don't you worry. I'll be back soon before you know it."
"Promise?" He asked with innocent look on his face. His eyes were searching for the answer in my eyes.
It broke my heart to see how cute he was. I felt the need to comfort him.
"I promise." I said calmly.
"Now go, go, you don't want her to find out you're ditching her because of me."
"fuck her." he replied quickly to proof that he wasn't afraid.
I giggled. "Mate, I think you just did!" I knew I nailed a great joke.
He looked confused for a second , but then laughed happily with me.
Damn it, why do I have be a hundred miles away from him?
I heard a girl's voice from his side calling his name.
"Got to go, cheer mate, take care, bye!" He said quickly.
It stopped. The video went dark, but my eyes didn't move away from my screen.
I watched as his name went offline in my Skype list.
I stared blankly at his name, which turned into grey now.
I waited for a couple more seconds.
And I waited a bit more, until I realised that I didn't even know what I was waiting for.
"Bye...." I whispered.
btw boss sbg bradley cooper udah mengena bgt rasanya, ngebayangin aja jd terlena 8->
trus untk karakter om saya harus membayangkan siapa ? gak ada penjelasannya, juga danny, saya merasa ntar akan jadi sesuatu di cerita selanjutnya, jd tolong di tunjukan sosok yg mendekati
mo ngeles ???nggak gratis yaa... [-X harus ada simbiosis mutualisme.... I-) om juga harus ngajarin gw bahasa inggris yang tingkat advance... khususnya yg formal dan ilmiah hihihi soalnya dari dulu gw cuma bisa english yg american style doang T-T grammer nya udah tau entah kemana.... wkwkwk tenses gw kacau...hihihi

@Ambigu: see how even@gray_side is calling me "om". So I'm in my thirties, Do I really deserved to be called om? lol
Iya, ada perhatiin ngak kalo chapter 4 itu bener2 inggris semua, kecuali the first sentence. Gara2 elu nih, gue jadi terbawa nulis pake bahasa inggris semua. Kalo nulis pake inggris mah yah memang lebih lancar and cepat, but I'll bring back some more bhs indo in the next chapters, supaya enggak jadi novel inggris, and also so it fits the story better.
Answering your questions:
To scoff: kaya setengah ngeledek gitu deh kalo ngak salah.
Cheeky monkey: istilah orang inggris, mirip seperti kita bilang dengan bercanda, dasarlu! atao kurang ajar,atau ngak sopan.
soal omongan yg rada ga enak gitu sebaiknya ga usah dipikirin. bener kata @ambigu, terkadang mereka ga mau peduli dengan apa yg dialami orang lain. jadi nyantai aja
I'll work on chapter 5, itu piring2 kotor and gosokan terlantar deh, gara2 keasikan nulis, he he he.
yup.... hahaha
udah terlanjur.... -,- :-w lanjut aja lah om...english english english...hihihi
hooo
kirain :cheeky monkey" ada image apa gitu ...kayak semacem "dick head" ?hehehe
berarti nggak terlalu kasar ya....ok, I got it...
i know u don't fancy being called om/sir, but i'm just too annoying to do u that kind of favor
lol lol lol
Since you like Chris the boss so much, I will not mention much more about him until you apologise! lol.
Plus, gue akan nyindir kalian-kalian yang terus2an manggil sir/om di segment selanjutnya.
Enjoy :-p
hey come on... u start acting like my father, old fart....
hahahahhaha....

The next morning, it was just before 9 when I heard knocks on my door.
By now, I was getting used to the fact that I would never be alone in my office for a long time.
"Com'in" I said.
"Good morning sir." Danny said as he came in.
"Please, call me John. You're making sound so old." I said while still typing.
"I heard that you were here so early today, before everyone else. Are you still not over your jetlag sir? I mean, John." He said.
"Quite the opposite actually, I had a good night sleep last night, and I feel a bit more like myself today. So I decided to come early and do a bit more work." I continued typing.
"But thank you for asking."
Somehow I felt happy to know that he cared.
I didn't know how long it was before I stopped typing and suddenly realised that Danny was just standing there in front of me.
I looked at him as he stared at me.
I felt a bit uncomfortable, but I just continued with my report.
"You know, in England, it's actually considered quite rude to stare at people like that." I said lightly while I typed away.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I... I.." He jumped a little bit as if he was awakened from a dream. I didn't think he knew that I wasn't being serious.
"I'm perfectly fine with you standing there, but just in case you get bored, can you please let me know, I could use some help." I didn't take my eyes away from the screen and I kept on typing.
"I'm sorry, of course. I.. I.. I guess I'm just nervous about being your assistant, I'm so sorry. What can I do for you, sir?"
I sensed he didn't get my sarcastic jokes, so I thought I should try again.
"Aaah, I can see you decided to go back to calling me sir, despite the fact that I've just asked you not to so a minute ago. Tell me do you really hate my name?" I teased him with a big smile.
"Oh no, I'm sorry, it's not that, I... ,I'm so sorry, I ... I... I forgot, I.."
I got up and I stood in front of him. I put my hands at both his arms and shook him off gently.
I realises he was genuinely nervous.
"Relax, com'on, take a deep breath..." I tried to calm him down.
Instead of taking a deep breath, he glanced at both my hands on his arms and looked at me strangely. He was even more tensed than before.
I was afraid that I hold him too strongly or like I've crossed a line or said something wrong, so I quickly took my hands off him and stepped back. It was a bit strange in how he continued looking at me and I didn't know what to do.
"Well...., let's get you settled in first." I said trying to move on from the awkward situation.
"Why don't you put your bag first and maybe get some coffee before we start."
"I like to think that at least I gave my assistant an easy start before I work him hard."
"Right, yes, ok.... Well, thank you, hm, ok..., I, right,..I'll be right back" He said nervously.
He went out and disappeared behind the door, and five minutes later he came bag with two cups of coffee.
"Bag, done, coffee done. And here is yours." He said while handing over one cup of coffee to me.
I smiled as I admired his agility.
He looked very smart when he was being so serious, but I still could see that he was nervous.
"I am all yours." He said with a pen and a notepad ready waiting for my instructions.
I couldn't help but to smile again.
"First, can you please make print 12 copies the presentation file in this thumb drive. It would be great if you can take a look at it first and see if there is any mistake, or if you have any idea to make it look better. I didn't really spend too much time in the design and layout, so feel free to enhance it."
He was still staring at me while writing on his notepad.
"Next I want you to prepare meeting room A with a projector. Also circulate a memo to the sales department that I want the meeting to be today at 11 o'clock, with a group lunch break at 12, and continue the meeting in my office after that."
"But sir, I mean John, I thought the schedule is to have the meeting on tomorrow?" He asked while writing it all on his notepad.
"I know, but I think if we have the meeting today, I could then be more involved with the execution of the specific strategies with them in the next few days. Plus the meeting is basically just a brainstorming with the group. There isn't much preparation for them to do. Is that ok?"
He nodded.
"Besides, they've got me this wonderful assistant, I would like whether he is as good as what everyone says" I winked at him as my final attempt to make me less nervous.
I could see his face turning red.
"Anyway, if you could also find a place to eat somewhere nearby so that I can take all of them out for lunch, that would be fantastic."
He went back to writing on his notepad.
"Next, can you please circulate a different memo that I want the meeting with the marketing department to be moved from Thursday to tomorrow at nine o'clock. And if you don't mind, I would like you to come and help me with the minutes for both meetings."
"And finally, can you see if it is possible to get the file for the pertamina project."
He gave me a questioning look while still trying to write everything down.
"I know it's not in my task list," I explained before he asked more questions.
"but I think it is such a big project for the office that I'd like to see if I could help in anyway. So if you can make a copy of that for me to take back and read tonight, that would be perfect. Thank you."
"Is that ok?" I asked while walking back to my desk.
"Yes sir!" I didn't think he realised he just called me 'sir' again.
"I'll do that right away..." He was still writing when he started to walked out the door.
Again, I couldn't help but to smile when I watched him rushing to leave my office and disappearing into the corridor.
"I like him." I said to myself as I got back my typing.
I liked him.
If you don't want any more of that, just walk into the light.
“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.” (you're not the only one who can quote from LOTR :-p.)
Kidding by the way, hope you're enjoying the story so far
I don't think I will go through them all and fix them due to time, so I apologise. But if there is anything that bothers you, let me know, I'll fix it.
I hope I'll make a good progress with the story by the end of the weekend.
Have a good one!
P.s @ambigu: ok, I'm taking your advice, chapter 5 is completely in english, and I'll continue to do so, at least for most of it. thx.
