BLESSINGS OF LOVE
Kissing

The next day in various social media both print and digital, two viral news emerged.

The first news conveys a young widow who suddenly got rich because it turns out her late husband gave a life insurance legacy that is worth billions of rupiah.

Another story follows a development engineer trying to get close to the conglomerate's daughter.

The news that appeared was so, though,

"Drinking water: An engineer who runs The Margo's Group's campus, works on a development project while trying to win the conglomerate's daughter's heart".

That's viral news that is very interesting and cornered, there is a photo of Jimmy holding Kristy's hand.

In the picture, Jimmy looks as if he is trying to hold Kristy's hand, while Kristy tries to brush him off.

In fact, at that time Kristy was in a hurry because she had to follow her mother's steps toward the car.

Such news certainly soon exploded spread by word of mouth, even everyone who is actively reading social media on their respective hands must immediately know the news.

That morning Soraya stepped in the corridor of her college to teach, and almost all eyes looked towards her because she was the simple young widow who suddenly became wealthy.

The student began to whisper while staring at him, unfortunately Soraya herself did not know at all if she appeared in the news today.

So Soraya just casually stepped up because she did not understand the viral news that is happening right now.

Soraya lightly walked into the lecturer's room, and sat down at his desk.

"Hmmm, there's a rich widow apparently just coming. Very arrogant to have to enter the media tell the world that he is now rich," Ira heard immediately launch a spicy jostle towards Soraya.

Because it does not feel like being in the news, Soraya just casually started typing some tasks that will be conveyed to the final level students.

Ten o'clock will be a meeting with the chairman of the Foundation, then he should pursue time to make assignments so that when the meeting takes place, students also have things to do.

"Pretend deaf everything, if you already have a lot of money do not spend anymore. Make it narrow, there are still many people who need money but do not have a chance to work," said Ira again who was alone with the Anes his minions.

"Usually rich people like to be deaf, the brain is again excited about this and that shopping," Anes said in support of Ira.

Soraya did not care about the two men nyinyir, especially he did not know with the news that was going viral, also he was busy thinking about the material of duty for his students.

"You're dicuekin Soraya?" suddenly the voice of Oti came from behind the back of Ira and Anes who were looking at Soraya with a cynical look.

"Oh, there's a bodyguard coming. Usually the queen is silent, the soldier says. It looks like a lot of money," Ira immediately insinuated Oti who looks to defend Soraya.

"You've been insinuating me?" ask Soraya to be confused.

"Oya, of course, there are lecturers who are hot-hearted so they know you can get a big windfall" Oti told Soraya.

"Big windfall?" Soraya scrunched her forehead.

"Gosh, you don't realize where the big news is?"Oti was astonished by Soraya.

"I'm big news?" Soraya widened her eyes.

"Pretend it, the drama of his life, just say arrogant because he feels like a tyrant right now," Ira seemed so annoyed to Soraya.

"Hey!!! if I'm drama, what are you? soap opera?!!!" shouted Soraya who began to be provoked by his emotions.

"Oya, don't ignore it. Ordinary people like them will always be hearted when they see others happy. Let it be, do not take care of people like them," said Oti as he stepped closer to Soraya's desk and his body covered Soraya's gaze from the gaze of two nyinyir creatures.

"I really don't understand, what's the news?" soraya asked honestly revealing her ignorance.

Oti pulled out his phone and searched for the news that was going viral from the moment of the news and showed Soraya about him who was becoming a warm news.

"God, even though the media crew yesterday was to cover the ceremonial event of the life insurance company when paying for my husband's death claim. Why is there any more news, Dad?" Soraya felt strange about the news.

"The name is also media, if the news of the ceremonial event itself also exists. But the other side of the story can be revealed as well, dong. Moreover, your current status is very delicious to be used as news material smelling of gossip. The name of gossip, the more rubbed the more siiiippp... hahahahaha," said Oti chatted with Soraya.

"Oti, indeed the money we received was very large. But it was the husband's mandate for the educational expenses of our children. So yesterday I agreed with my two in-laws to re-insure the money for the benefit of Maya and Mega" Soraya explained to Oti.

"Surely it should be, because your husband used to buy insurance with money that was for the sake of your children's education. You don't get intoed by the two people's words if I want to ask for your money," Oti refused if there was any suspicion of wanting to ask Soraya for money.

"I know, you're my best friend. The only thing that is inexhaustible is how could yesterday all be well, uh. This morning there is such a news".

"I'm not proud, but I feel like I'm being cornered with news like that. Who wants to be a widow, suddenly I have to bear the title, now coupled with the news," lamented Soraya felt struck by the headline.

"Heh, the Oya I know is a strong man, under any circumstances always strong to accept the trials of life. Do not suddenly be discouraged by such unimportant news. Already let it think of the wind then," said Oti who always gave encouragement to his best friend.

Soraya nodded her head, while sitting hugging Oti's waist, and Oti hugged Soraya's head.

"Cruisely again we have to attend a meeting with the chairman of the Foundation. Come on, finish your work, I have to prepare the meeting room later," said Oti who followed Soraya's nod.

While leaving the lecturer room, Oti glanced sharply at Ira and Anes, no doubt the two nyinyir people also returned the glance of Oti while his face scowled. No words were spoken, only Oti's gaze was actually filled with a harmful meaning for the two of them.

Jimmy was spotted at the Big Beauty Resto that morning, an hour before he got a call from Oci trusted employee Kristy.

"Boss handsome, sorry can help Oci. The handsome boss must come here immediately, the beautiful boss from earlier languishing under the table in his study above. While her brother and mother have since called Oci looking for her, because the beautiful boss could not be contacted. Though the beautiful boss had to attend a meeting to be held by Ivanna's mother," Oci told Jimmy.

Upon arriving at Big Beauty Resto, Jimmy is immediately escorted by Oci to go upstairs and open the door to Kristy's study.

"Miss hair gulali, what's under the table?"jimmy asked as he sat on the floor next to Kristy's desk.

"What are you going to come here for? who asked you to come here?" ask Kristy ketus.

"I was asked by your staff to come here, he said you were stuck so you couldn't get out from under the table" said Jimmy.

"Cinting!" kristy added ketus.

"Feelings last night we could have a nice chat on the phone, you spoke very softly to me. Why did this morning suddenly become sniffy and hide under the table?" Jimmy questioned Kristy's behavior.

Being asked like that, it left Kristy speechless in a thousand languages. The silent room that was heard was only the sound of the breath of Jimmy and Kristy from under the table.

Almost five minutes of no noise, then Jimmy asked again, "Miss hair gulali, white grandpa round eyes, bontot, you're still there right?".

"All you can call me bontot is Ando" sounds like an answer.

"Okay, sorry, I'm not going to repeat that call. But you have to get out of the table and tell me the same story, what's the matter" said Jimmy began to get tired of Kristy's attitude.

"Didn't you read today's news?" ask Kristy.

"What news?"ask Jimmy.

"Oh... Jim...read it first, find news about campus construction from your phone!!!" kristy is still out of the table.

Jimmy pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, then started looking for news about campus construction.

Finally found the news that led to him and Kristy, then Jimmy read it and felt amused.

"Hehehe, if the reality is true like this, how dong," said Jimmy.

"So you approached me, for the sake of the project?" ask Kristy.

Jimmy sighed, then replied, "I got this project from Andreas Cheung and Louis Orlando. It has nothing to do with the Yelena Crystal".

"My closeness to the Yelena Crystal has actually been going on for a long time. Only I was foolishly insensitive and did not dare to go forward with the woman from the beginning, plus the woman also always kept her distance and covered her attitude towards me".

"Since I first knew Kristal Yelena aka Kristy the gulali hair, I never knew that she was the son of Sumargo Handoyo, the owner of Margo's Group".

"So I'm going to try to fight for the gulali hairdresser's heart as the owner of Big Beauty Resto, not as the son of a conglomerate. Because I first knew the woman as the owner of the restaurant" Jimmy said at length.

"So you're admitting stupid?" kristy asked, holding back a laugh.

"Well, I'm stupid. Ever since my brother was alive, he always encouraged me to approach the owner of Big Beauty Resto" Jimmy said.

"Who is the owner of the Big Beauty Resto?" Kristy's starting to get spoiled.

Jimmy snorted, then replied, "The kitten who hides under the table".

"I'm Ivanna's mother's son, not a kitten," Kristy begins a spoiled protest.

"Okay, Ivanna's mother's daughter, come out from under the table and sit with me here. Hurry up!!!" jimmy's orders.

Kristy started to move out from under her desk, and tried to stand up. But due to too long bending the legs under the table, his legs hurt.

"Oh...Jim...please!!!" kristy was in pain.

Then Jimmy immediately grabbed Kristy's hand and hugged her shoulder to help her stand up.

The opportunity was not wasted by Jimmy, he immediately hugged Kristy tightly.

"What the fuck!!!" Kristy's trying to push Jimmy.

But the big tall Jimmy was certainly stronger, and he kept on hugging Kristy.

"Say my mom used to say when we were kids, you like it when I hug her and I kiss her cheek. You are not angry, but laugh with pleasure. You're mad at me right now" said Jimmy, still hugging Kristy.

"That was a kid," Kristy's a sewot.

"But I like to hug you, it turns out that you are very fragrant".

"Take off Jim, I'm ashamed".

"Tiny time is not shy".

"Yes, that was a little time. So, please.let me go. Shame later if any officers come in".

Jimmy loosened his embrace, looking Kristy red face held in shame. Seeing that even makes Jimmy so anxious, then without thinking again he kissed the cheek of the girl.

"Deehhh....Jimmy....!!!" Kristy pushed Jimmy.

"Hahahaha, sorry. Don't get mad dong," Jimmy tried to apologize to the pouting Kristy.

"It's thick, you're so flirtatious," said Kristy still pouting.

"Honestly, I just hugged and kissed a girl once again. I'm not lying," said Jimmy looking at Kristy with both fingers forming the letter "V".

Kristy just kept quiet did not answer, actually in her heart she felt happy and happy to be hugged and kissed by Jimmy, but of course it will fall in pride if she shows herself likes the treatment of Jimmy just now.

"I had to go to a meeting at my mother's college. Can you take me there or not?" kristy asked with her face still pouting at Jimmy.

"Come, the campus where Soraya's sister teaches isn't it?" Jimmy asked back and was answered with a nod by Kristy.

"But I can't pick you up again from college and drive you here again. Today I'm going to be busy in the field".

"It's okay, I'll come home with my mom or Stevie" Kristy said.

Jimmy understood and immediately asked Kristy to change clothes and fix makeup, while she would wait below.

"Boss handsome, how about? safe?" ask Oci when Jimmy arrives downstairs.

"Aman dong, Jimmy that's it," said Jimmy as he patted his chest and raised his eyebrows.

"Siiipp. deh..," said Oci as he blinked his eyes.

"Can't you wear women's shoes?" jimmy asked as he looked at Kristy's feet clad in sneakers.

"God wears shoes like this, our president's wife also often wears shoes like this" Kristy said, glancing spoiled at Jimmy.

"OK, what matters is that you're comfortable. Yuk, we're leaving now" Jimmy asked.

"Just a moment!!!" kristy said as she ran into the kitchen.

It looked like he was giving instructions to his entire team, then he came out of the kitchen with a package.

"It's a sandwich bread, I made it for you on purpose" Kristy said, handing Jimmy a package of food.

"Thank you, it must be delicious. Later I eat," said Jimmy look happy while out of the restaurant to his car.

In the car as usual, it was always quiet for a moment even though Kristy was in it.

"Kristy, don't you have any desire to call me brother, or sister, or mas?" ask Jimmy on a whim.

"What do I want to be called? my brothers have been calling me names all this time. Ando and Epi" said Kristy to tell her how she called Louis Orlando and Stevie.

"Oh.iya anyway, if in my family, the younger ones call the older brother," said Jimmy explained also the habit in his family.

"Mother Regina was Indonesian, while my mother was Russian and her mother Ando was also American. Our family is less of a problem with calling to the older ones" Kristy explained.

"Ando's mom's an American?" Jimmy asked in confusion.

"Yes, Ando's mother died from being killed by robbers when Ando was a child. Then he remarried to my mother who already had Stevie. From their marriage, I was born. But the strange thing that can be close to papa, and can understand papa's desire is Stevie. While Ando and I couldn't understand papa, we often had disagreements," Kristy began to open up to Jimmy.

"That's why you live in the upper room of the restaurant, yeah. Honestly, you used to ask me to make a complete office and bedroom upstairs, I thought to be used just for lunch," Jimmy remembers that he used to make the upstairs room of Kristy's diner.

"Women live alone in restaurants, do you not feel afraid?" ask Jimmy.

"There is every fear, not the fear of the devil but the fear of the wicked. Especially lately there are often mysterious flower deliveries almost every night," replied Kristy look riled up.

"You ask your employees every night to check all the doors and windows if they want to go home. Later that night I try to check first, if necessary add CCTV in some corner again," Jimmy was worried.

"You're worried about me?" ask Kristy while glancing at Jimmy.

"Worried dong, you will be kidnapped by people, how? Especially until someone does something bad. Amit-amit, don't let it," looks very worried Jimmy.

"Jimmys.oh...Jimmy, you're funny to worry about me" Kristy said with a laugh.

Jimmy glanced at Kristy as his lips pursed.

"Oh...Jim.hahahaha, I call you Ojim...Hahahaha," Kristy laughed amusedly calling the call.

"Ojim?" asked Jimmy, not liking to hear it.

"Yes...Haha...Ojim. Whether you want to like it or not, what matters is that you are Ojim.hahahaha," Kristy laughed again happily.

"It's up to you to call me anything free. But you also have to free me from kissing you" said Jimmy, feeling victorious.

"Look, I'm a kid, I'm an adult now" Kristy protested.

"Yes, no problem dong. Now the adult version of the kiss, not like childhood," said Jimmy did not want to lose.

Kristy glanced sharply as she said," No Way!!!".

His face was red with embarrassment hearing Jimmy's words.

Finally they arrived at the entrance of the campus gate.

"I'll go down in front, I'll walk a little way to the meeting room" Kristy said.

"OK, but tonight I kiss you, yeah," said Jimmy teasing Kristy again.

Kristy sticks her tongue out at Jimmy, opening the car door. But before coming down Kristy was like looking for something.

"What's wrong?" ask Jimmy.

"Did you see that just now?" Kristy was looking for something under the car seat.

"What the hell?" Jimmy came looking and his face came closer to Kristy.

Without further ado, Kristy slips Jimmy's left cheek, then gets out of the car and closes the door quickly.

Only Jimmy was dumbfounded, because he just missed a kiss.

Upon entering the meeting room, the meeting had just begun. Ivanna's mother seemed relieved to see the arrival of Kristy who had just entered the room and immediately sat beside Soraya.

In the meeting room, a foreign man in his forty years was sitting next to Ivanna's mother.

The meeting began with the agenda of Ivanna's mother's plan to hold a road show to high school and vocational se Jabotabek for one year.

Road show introduces to High School and SMK students who will graduate to choose to continue their education in their college.

"There will be a new building, where later hospitality and tourism education, as well as foreign languages will be held in the new building," said Ms. Ivanna.

"Bapak Raharja as rector, will be extended his service period to five years le next. For that later there will be several rector aides, I mentioned that Ira's mother as the aide to the 1st rector in the economic and social field, Mr. Yudha aide to the 2nd rector in engineering, Ira said, soraya's mother is the 3rd rector in the field of foreign languages and the latest is the assistant rector 4 Mr. John Dawson in the field of hospitality education and tourism".

"This is John Dawson's father, he is a lecturer at Michigan University. And now he's joining us here. He speaks seven foreign languages and is also very master of hospitality".

Ivanna's mother introduced a foreign teacher who had just joined the college.

"Please introduce yourself to all the colleagues here" Ivanna's mother asked him.

"Hallo, I'm John Dawson. Just call me John, I'm 44 years old, I'm single and I'm excited to be joining this college" John Dawson said.

"His cup of self-promotion" greeted Ivanna's mother with a laugh followed by everyone present.

"Hahahaha, there is my son Kristy is still a girl, and next to her there is Soraya's mother a single parent, please John can approach one," Ivanna's mother casually said so.

Kristy of course immediately frowned, while Soraya just laughed gigglingly in response.

Then the talks took place again to plans for a road show to various high schools and vocations.

While discussing the material of the road show, John Dawson secretly noticed the two women who happened to be sitting next to him.

"The girl's son was Ivanna's mother, but the widow was even more attractive. I don't think she's an easy widow to tease. If that girl seems difficult to approach, one step can I be deported by Ivanna's mother" whispered John in his heart.

"Alright, Soraya's mother I appoint you as the head of the road show organizer. Mr. John will be assisted later as his representative, and my son Stevie as the campus publicist who will support all these plans. All activities will be held in coordination with Stevie".

"In the meantime, Kristy will later hold a cooking competition between SMKs that have a major in culinary arts. Hopefully later the participants can be interested in continuing education in the field of kitchen hospitality on our campus".

Thus the assignment was done by Ivanna's mother, and Soraya was asked to form a committee with Kristy so that all events could take place as expected.

The night before the diner closed at about nine p.m., Jimmy had just arrived and parked his car in the courtyard of Big Beauty Resto.

"Eh, what kind of handsome boss just came?" ask Jimmy Oci.

"I just finished off the field, and came straight here. What food do you have?" ask Jimmy to Oci.

"In the meantime, Oci to the beautiful boss first. Doi again on top, did not know just now when he saw the handsome boss car parking, instead ran up," said Oci then immediately went up.

Jimmy sat on one of the chairs in the restaurant, only two tables were left with customers to eat.

On the door already hung the inscription "Close", meaning they will actually close soon.

Soon Oci went down and went straight to the kitchen, a while later immediately out of the kitchen while carrying a tray of food and drinks for Jimmy.

"So I ate this while being accompanied by Oci? What is he again?" jimmy asked uncomfortable as Oci sat in front of him.

"There was silence, but just said so. Ask Oci to accompany the handsome boss first before going home," said Oci as it is.

Jimmy pulled out his phone and called Kristy.

"You have no pity on Oci, he is exhausted, you must rule the officers must obey your wishes. Hurry here down, accompany me to eat," Jimmy said without giving a pause that could make Kristy refute.

Five minutes later, Kristy came down the stairs from the top floor and folded her lips.

"Oci, you've just come home. Please others, first check all the doors and windows before going home, let alone the back door please lock properly," kristy said she immediately gave orders to all her employees when she went down and pretended not to see Jimmy.

Seeing Kristy's behavior, makes Jimmy want to laugh because it looks clear the girl is being misbehaved.

One by one the restaurant employees went home after making sure all the doors and windows were locked tightly.

"Oci said goodbye, well" Oci said as he winked at Jimmy.

"Yes, thank you Oci. Be careful on the street, greetings to your husband and children" said Kristy who still has not sat with Jimmy.

All employees of Big Beauty Resto whispered to each other that Jimmy now dared to show his closeness to Kristy.

It's just that their superiors still seem embarrassed to admit the closeness of the relationship with Jimmy.

"You still want to stand there or sit here and eat me?" ask Jimmy while looking at Kristy.

Hearing that, Kristy steps up to the table where Jimmy is sitting waiting for her, then pulls up a chair and sits in front of Jimmy.

"Why the hell do you not like me here?" ask Jimmy while looking at Kristy.

"Ah, no, I'm glad you're here. He said he wanted to see and planned the addition of CCTV," said Kristy shyly.

"I already know, tomorrow I bring my friend who used to install CCTV here to add in the kitchen and in the back door. Tomorrow I'm going to ask him to check this place out while looking at your computer" Jimmy explained.

Kristy smiled, she was happy to once again feel that there was a man who cared for her.

Then Kristy also asked Jimmy about his work today, and told him about the meeting this afternoon while getting Jimmy to eat until he finished.

"I go home first, tomorrow afternoon I come again with my friend who is expert in installing CCTV," Jimmy said as he stood up.

"Yes, be careful on the road" Kristy said.

"Kiss first, dong," said Jimmy.

"Why do you have to keep kissing? I'm ashamed to know" said Kristy.

"Last noon someone kissed me on the cheek and then ran away, now dong's responsibility, must want me to kiss back too," Jimmy said, holding Kristy's shoulder.

"So just a fad" said Kristy continued to bow with a red face like a boiled crab.

Jimmy lifted Kristy's chin, then landed a kiss on her right, left cheek and forehead.

"The lips will be again, yeah. I'm afraid of lust" Jimmy whispered into Kristy's ear.

Of course Kristy's getting red in the face, then she pinches Jimmy's arm spoiled, immediately Jimmy also pretends to grimace in pain.

After that Jimmy decided to go home, stressing to Kristy that the front door was locked tightly before going upstairs.

From across the street there is someone holding a bunch of flowers, but the other hand clenches when he sees Kristy looking friendly with Jimmy.
