BLESSINGS OF LOVE
Video Calls

"Where are you having breakfast?" ask Kristy during a video call with Jimmy.

"Tumben, last night you video call, now video call again. Kangen's with me, yeah," Jimmy teased him.

"Not really, sometimes you can dong video call," Kristy said.

"I'm still at home, now having breakfast. Here's a beef-eye egg sandwich and some lettuce, I'll add some mayonaise and a little chili sauce" Jimmy showed me the bread on his plate.

"Hmmm, yes I have. I'm just asking, because lately you've always had breakfast at my place. Since last night, you've changed, which is weird. There really is nothing either. Sorry well, the phone was already," said Kristy wanted to end the conversation.

"Wait !!! already before? i changed? changed what? last night you video called me when I just got home. Now you're video calling again when I'm home having breakfast. So what's changed and what's weird" Jimmy said with a chuckle.

"Yes, I was wrong. Sorry, it was a long time ago. Thank you," said Kristy while turning off her phone.

Jimmy gets confused because Kristy suddenly turns off the phone, and when Jimmy tries to call back, it is not picked up by Kristy.

Several times he tried to contact, and was not picked up either, until Jimmy finally upset himself.

Then Jimmy sent a quick message to Kristy, "I'm having breakfast at home, because this morning there was an appointment with your brother, Louis Orlando. If I had been to your place before, I would have been far away to your brother's office. If I'm late, you'll know how your brother is".

It appears that Kristy had read the message, but did not reply to Jimmy.

Instead of a messy mood, after breakfast Jimmy immediately left for The Margo's Tower, because he had been awaited by Louis Orlando Handoyo there.

Half an hour later Jimmy arrived at the basement of The Margo's Tower parking lot, then after getting out of the car immediately entered the building and took the elevator to the floor of Andreas Cheung's office.

"Excuse me" Jimmy said as he arrived at Andreas Cheung's room.

"Come on Jim" greeted Louis Orlando, who was sitting on the couch looking at his laptop.

Andreas Cheung was sitting at his desk, nodding at Jimmy without saying much.

Jimmy soon sat on one of the more personal sofas.

"Jim, end of next month first floor could be in order?" asked Louis Orlando while glancing at him.

"From the schedule we compiled, it is estimated that the end of next month the first floor is completed. Directly connect the casting process to build the second floor. While walking also the process of building a hall at the back," said Jimmy gave an explanation to Louis.

"Today you walk with me, I want to find ceramics for the floor and walls" said Louis, who was followed by a nod by Jimmy.

"Andre, please transfer one hundred million rupiah to Jimmy's account. I want to buy ceramics, so that Jimmy can pay the advance to the seller," Louis's order was immediately carried out also by Andreas Cheung.

Then Jimmy and Louis got off the building to his car, and they both left together.

Along the way to several ceramic sellers, they continued to discuss the work that Jimmy had to do immediately.

Suddenly Louis's phone rang, and Louis looked strange as he answered the call.

"What about video calls?" louis said to speak for himself but was heard by Jimmy driving the car.

"Hello, what's up Bontot? tumben you video call?" louis asked as he answered the call from his youngest brother.

"Just whine, hihihihi. Can Ando want to go back to Semarang, huh? when anyway? I want a daycare for the kids for Teti, too" said Kristy, displaying a spoiled smile to her brother.

"Yes, I'll be there before I go back to Semarang, stop by your restaurant. I will be there a long time, a month more, anyway during fasting until after Eid alone," Louis also answered his sister's sentence thus.

"Okay, I wait, Dad. It looks like it's on the road, who is it?" Kristy asked investigating very sweetly.

"Oh, I'm walking with Jimmy. Looking for materials for campus buildings. Look at the guy driving" Louis said, tilting his phone at Jimmy.

While still driving Jimmy just glanced at the phone Louis who was looking at Kristy's face.

"Ando, what the hell.I just asked Ando where. Already in the past well, anyway I wait for Ando, if you want to go home to Semarang remember stopping by first here," said Kristy when she ended the conversation with her brother.

"Surprisingly, my sister suddenly video calls, when usually she is anti-that when invited to a video call," Louis told Jimmy who felt strange about Kristy's behavior.

Jimmy just smiled, saying in his heart that he was feeling strange about Kristy's behavior since last night.

"Lu like my brother's phone, Jim?" louis asks suddenly and makes Jimmy shocked.

"Only once" said Jimmy with an awkward smile.

"If for example you really like my sister, you just go forward but must be sincere and serious. Don't just use it because my family is people. Though our family is also not very rich, there are still many more from our family," suddenly ejected such speech from Louis' lips.

Jimmy was increasingly misbehaved to hear Louis's astonishing speech like that, but he was confused if he wanted to respond to Louis' statement.

"The love of my sister, our parents fuss over wanting her soul mate, especially my father. Now my father again to the Netherlands, business affairs all want to try to match my brother with his business partner's son there," continued Louis again.

Jimmy widened in shock to hear the follow-up speech from Louis, his chest suddenly tight to hear the sentence.

"I'm just sure my sister wouldn't want to. He was like me, never able to agree with my father's thoughts. It's hard that my father likes to impose his own desires, while I'm the same Kristy can't be treated that way," Louis still continues his story to Jimmy and this one is a bit of a relief to Jimmy's heart.

"So if you don't hear me wrong, boss Louis will fast, are you a Muslim?" ask Jimmy carefully.

"Yes, I'm a Muslim. Our extended family has diverse beliefs. Since my mother died, then I live with my grandmother in Semarang. Actually it's stepmom, my dad. I stayed there and studied Islam. And feel comfortable with the religion of Islam until now".

"Papa remarried to Ivanna's mother, she happened to be a Russian who had no religious basis whatsoever. Finally, he chose to follow the papa religion that is Catholic".

"So Stevie since marrying Andreas Cheung, following her husband's religion became a Buddhist. Only bontot Kristy, just as he did not embrace any religion with certainty. She said she would follow her husband's religion later, "louis' answer made Jimmy happy, at least he could have a chance to become a priest in marriage to Kristy.

Louis looked at Jimmy with a smile of his own, but Louis said nothing just guessing inwardly that Jimmy secretly had good intentions for his sister.

Elsewhere, Erika and Chika are listening to Yanti's outpouring of annoyance because last night was not being ushered home by Jimmy.

"When you guys left, I got into Jimmy's car. Right in front of the crossroad, he pulled over the car and ordered me a taxi on line".

"The reason is, my apartment is too far away. He had an appointment this morning with someone else, so last night I was dropped off on the road and took a taxi that he had ordered," Yanti said her annoyance to her two friends.

"Who's paying the witness?" ask Chika.

"Jimmy who paid, will use the application has him," said Yanti.

"According to my observations, Jimmy seems to have no sense of your equal. Last night I saw her talking but no longer use the feeling of love when talking to you," Erika told her assessment.

"Yes, it looks like that. But if you want to make a determination to get him, I'm the same Erika would support it anyway. Just so you understand, Erika's car also needs a drink, I'm the same Erika needs a cigarette," Chika just went to the point.

"Relax, I have plenty of money. My ex-husband is still sending, and the guy upstairs also sometimes likes to give money to me, as long as I get him drunk," replied Yanti lightly.

"Mending you like I'm with Chika, so the office's mistress. They come to see us at least once a week, but smooth money, street cigarettes, dating other guys can too. Instead of you chasing after an ex-girlfriend, not necessarily she still wants to be as you," Erika gave way again to Yanti.

"But you two live a life of fear, fear of being discovered by the office, fear of being found out with the officials. Mending me, the same way, the same way," Yanti tried to defend herself.

"But you're complicated, wanting to chase down an ex-boyfriend. Surely you want to look for status, sure you want a real marriage," Chika said with a sharp look.

"It's real for now I don't want to. But have a permanent lover, I really want to," said Yanti replied to Chika's words.

"Why should your ex-boyfriend pursue. The other guy can do it, right?" Erika asked back.

"Just take the road, I'm after Jimmy to satisfy the curiosity because he's been dating for a few years, he never touched me at all. Most kisses doang, it's also a polite kiss," Yanti revealed what she really wanted.

"Sinting Yanti, here it is. I'm the same Chika has her own principles, well you also have your own principles. I can't possibly keep chasing Jimmy, just like Chika did. So I thought, please go after Jimmy, while I'm the same Chika helped just that," Erika decided to limit Yanti's help.

"Okay, no problem. I'm gonna keep going after Jimmy until I get it. Because I'm sure he's still in love with me, '" Yanti insisted on his wish.

That afternoon Yanti down from her apartment will leave for the beauty salon, the plan will creambath and blow her hair.

When he arrived at the apartment lobby, he accidentally collided with a foreign man.

"Wow..bule handsome," he said inwardly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally. I'm a new person here," the stranger apologized to him.

"It's okay" said Yanti who was quite surprised because the foreign man was fluent in Indonesian.

"I'm John Dawson, only today will I live on the seventeenth floor".

"Damayanti, I live on the fifteenth floor".

"It's nice to meet you, later I play to your place, sometime" said John Dawson.

Yanti just smiled and nodded, but the glances of her eyes invited meaningfully to John Dawson.

On campus Soraya was busy typing, having finished typing assignments for students, now busy typing proposals to be submitted to Stevie the next day.

"Busy, want to have lunch together?" otang asked the library administration officer who was his best friend.

"I got the message from the janitor. Looks like I have to eat while typing, there is a lot that I have to finish today," Soraya replied Otang.

Then Otang pulled out one of the empty seats in the room and sat down next to Soraya.

Otang wants to know what Soraya is doing until it looks so busy.

If there is already Otang there will certainly be Oti as well, because they are Triple O, namely Oti, Oya and Otang.

No...no...... tok...!!!

There were footsteps from Oti's feet that were entering the lecturer's room.

It just so happened that afternoon there was only Soraya alone in the large room, so footsteps would be heard echoing throughout the room.

"Rightly my guess, Madam Oti came too," Otang whispered while giggling to Soraya.

"I can't, I asked the janitor to buy me lunch. It seems like I ate while typing this proposal," Soraya replied to Oti.

"What are you typing at?"tanya Oti while staring at the computer screen on Soraya's desk.

"List of road show committee, chairman of Soraya, vice chairman John Dawson, general secretary of Tatang, Treasurer general of Irawati," Oti read the list of road show organizers.

"Yes, are you sure Irawati becomes the general treasurer?" asked Oti while widening his eyes.

Soraya nodded her head confidently to Oti, of course making Oti frown between disbelief and disapproval.

"Let's say, right if the committee who became the treasurer if you want to ask for funds must meet the head of campus finance, right?" Soraya whispered into Oti's ear.

For a moment Oti fell silent, trying to digest Soraya's sentence. After a few seconds he understood, and laughed loudly.

"Soraya turns out to be ignorant as well as the person," said Oti as his finger pointed at Soraya.

"If one more thing is what?" ask Oti curiously.

Soraya gave a list of committee names to Oti, seen Anes' name as the coordinator of the fund-raising team.

"He's under Ira, dong," Oti said as he stared at the paper listed on the committee's roster.

"Indeed, but some work that must be done such as meeting companies or the media, will need a letter of introduction from the general secretary," said Soraya while pointing at Otang.

Oti nodded his head, understanding what Soraya was planning.

Apparently Soraya wanted to teach the two men a little lesson, at least later during the imposition of the event, the two men had to deal with him as the chairman of the public, he said, had to deal with Oti as the head of campus finance, also dealing with Otang for the sake of correspondence.

"They should learn to be humble, as well as learn to appreciate and respect others. Their attitude to us has always been bad, if they are in a position below us. Must ask permission to the three of us, at least my hope, they can both be aware and change" Soraya said at length to reveal her plans to Oti and Otang.

Oti understands and supports Soraya's plan, because their two friends who nyinyir is difficult if advised. Maybe in this way, at least it will make both of them more able to speak good words and learn to be humble and appreciate others.

Otang has since looked relaxed while chewing something.

"What did you eat?" tanya Oti saw Otang seemed to be enjoying his food.

"On Soraya's table was a cake, it looked delicious but was not touched by it. So I just eat, pity the cake. idle," said Otang relaxed.

"Hahahaha, that's John Dawson's cake, he brought me a cake. But I'm lazy to eat it, because it's cheese cake, while I don't really like cheese" Soraya explained to her two friends.

"Don't like cheese, or fear kepelet as much as him?" otang Goda.

"Sorry, I don't doyan bule. I am a rich widow, said the media as well, the nyari bule who works as a lecturer. Same with my salary, Hahahahahah," said Soraya while laughing amusedly.

Then the three friends laughed together, feeling amused if you remember John Dawson who tried to steal the attention of Soraya.

Day crawled into the evening, while Jimmy was still with Louis Orlando, even now they had an appointment to meet with one of the city's famous ceramics entrepreneurs.

Tonight they will meet at a famous restaurant, while discussing cooperation for the purchase of ceramics that will soon be used for the new campus building.

Given for sure the conversation will take a long time, because while eating dinner and also negotiating prices and so forth.

Jimmy then sent a chat message to Kristy that the contents said that today he would not be able to go to the Big Beauty Resto restaurant to meet Kristy as usual.

Kristy received and read the message, there was a blue sign indicating the message had been read. But Jimmy didn't get any answers from Kristy.

While following the conversation between Louis and the ceramic businessman, in his heart felt arrogant because Kristy seemed to be playing tricks on his feelings.

When the conversation is serious, Kristy suddenly calls Louis's phone with a video call.

Of course Louis asked the ceramic businessman to accept the call, until Louis had to leave the room to answer Kristy's call.

"Bontot, what the hell were you from earlier video call only?" asked Louis in a rather loud tone.

"How come you don't like his sister's phone?" Kristy asked back while pouting spoiled.

Louis Orlando could at least see his sister look sad like that.

"What's wrong? you've been video calling all the time, what's going on?" ask Louis again in a tone that began to decline.

"I just want to show hampers for the kids and for Teti. Just remind again if you want to go home to Semarang later stop by first to take all these hampers," said Kristy with a smile but looks sad.

"Oh, bontot, it's not usually you like this. Jimmy and I were talking to a ceramic business man. We were seriously negotiating, then you video call," Louis began to rise again.

But because Jimmy's name was just by Louis, suddenly Kristy's smile began to broad again.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I will not be video calling anymore. Sorry, I have already. I'll wait for Ando to come here" said Kristy who suddenly cheerful again.

After closing the phone, Louis still looked annoyed and he returned to the room apologizing, then continued talking with the ceramic businessman.

While having dinner, talking business and cooperation were finally completed, and the time had already shown at nine o'clock.

Louis and Jimmy shake hands with a team of ceramic businessmen, and they both return to Jimmy's car.

"It's also finished today, tomorrow take me to the teak wood businessman. Because I want all the door frames and windows to be teak, there are also some pillars decorated with teak ornaments," Louis invites Jimmy to go around again tomorrow.

"Boss, my papa is a teak wood businessman. Tomorrow I will take boss Louis to his workshop. How's it?" asked Jimmy in hopes Louis would be interested.

"Good dong. Pick me up tomorrow morning like this morning, I want to see your papa's workshop, "Louis is very interested in Jimmy's offer.

Then along the way to the Sumargo Handoyo family residence, they all the way discussed the matter of teak wood.

Arriving in front of the Sumargo Handoyo residence was already ten in the evening.

Louis gets off soon, and has Jimmy pick himself up tomorrow at his family's house, so Jimmy agrees to the request.

Jimmy drove the car back to his house, it's been exhausting all day. While driving he idly contacts Kristy, and instead becomes increasingly arrogant because the one who receives is Oci.

Jimmy asks why Oci should take a phone call from him, the reason Oci is a beautiful boss is there is an important guest so ask him to answer the call from Jimmy.

"What a weird girl, I don't think. Just dating again, it turns out that the name of the girl from the past always makes it complicated. Why the hell Kristy, there's-there," Jimmy muttered as he drove his car.

Upon arrival at home, Hansen's opa happens to not be sleeping, so Jimmy immediately tells his father that tomorrow he will bring a large customer to his workshop.

Of course opa Hansen was very happy with the news, and hoped to establish cooperation with his customer Jimmy.

Opa Hansen has a desire to be able to provide financial assistance to his children Mario.

Although in fact the two children Mario is not lacking financially, but as a grandfather there is a sense of wanting to give because the father of the two children is now gone.

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Jimmy was still trying to get in touch with Kristy. Even try with a video call, three tries and goes unanswered as well.

"I'm sure you're angry with me again, but try to explain what's wrong with me?".

That's the message that Jimmy sent to Kristy, five minutes later the blue color was already visible in the message notification, the sign that the recipient of the message had read it.

And just read it, until just before falling asleep there was no reply, Jimmy was upset and just left to sleep his phone.

Kristy wants Jimmy to call again, but there's no more phone calls from Jimmy.

Wanted to call back, but the prestige was too high. Lazy if you have to precede the call, although in the heart actually really want to hear Jimmy's voice and vent his frustration.

That night Kristy tried to sleep, although still felt tight in the chest but at least had to rest so that the body could be fresher tomorrow morning to undergo the activity.

In the silence of the night, without anyone knowing, from behind the kitchen chimney was a figure of a person dressed in black and masked in black, descending slowly and walking very carefully.

Step by step up the stairs to Kristy's private room.

Although the door is locked, but with the help of a small device, the door handle can be opened carefully so as not to make a sound.

Passing through tables and small office chairs as Kristy's workplace, the door to the bedroom was also easily opened without making any noise.

Kristy looks asleep, hugging a small roll and her body sideways to the right facing the wall.

The figure wearing all black clothes looked at Kristy's body that was behind her.

The man listened to the sound of Kristy's sleeping breath, occasionally a small snore came out of his lips.

Then the figure of the man seemed to try to look at Kristy's face, but it turns out that Kristy was so sound asleep.

His hand flicked Kristy's wavy hair, and kissed the girl's forehead slowly.

Feeling like someone is touching her, Kristy wakes up and soon wakes up from her sleep.

He saw that there was nothing around the room, and then he got out of bed and checked the door of his room.

It was still locked, but curious and he tried to check the door of the office space that was located next to his bedroom.

"Lock it all down" whispered Kristy as she returned to her bedroom.

The wall clock still shows at 02:35 in the morning, his eyes are still very heavy, so back to bed continue his dream again.

While the figure of the person had returned to the kitchen, and jumped up into the chimney hole and then covered it back carefully.

Before long the figure had already been across the street in front of Big Beauty Resto, staring at the restaurant with a smile on his lips.

There is a sense of happiness in the heart of the figure of the man because he has managed to kiss the forehead of the girl adjaan his heart.
