I'M MAKING YOU SORRY
(SS 2) CHAPTER 76. FALL IN LOVE
Erika POV
Love comes unexpectedly
He greeted the heart for a moment
I flew to nirvana
And my heart feels flowery
Oh beautiful love ....
Falling in love at first sight! That's what happened to me. For five days now, I saw the man in this restaurant. He also seemed to be the same, eating lunch in office break hours. I've been working at my parents' branch for a month, but only five days have I seen him eat at this diner.
Body athletic. White skin. His face is handsome like a Korean actor. The man also looks friendly. Seen from the way he smiled and thanked the waiter who delivered his order.
Astin, my secretary nudged my arm. Ever since being introduced as my secretary, I somehow felt like I was a match for Astin. The guy's smart and sensitive. He knows what I want. Our age is the same age, making our work environment more enjoyable, not rigid. He's just like my best friend. But he understands and can put limits on when to talk like a friend, when as subordinates and superiors.
"Fairytale?" ask Astin without further ado.
"In London, isn't there a cool guy in college?" ask again.
"Damn you! Am I the same as that?! Yes, a lot!" I replied while drinking to cover my nervousness as Astin was caught staring at the man.
"Then? Why.stare that guy all the way?!"
"My eyes! I like it!" my answer.
"Ceileee ... since when do I say elo?" Astin laughs.
"Since met a freak like elo!" I said touching his chin.
Astin chuckles. Astin gave a code that the man approached us. I reflexed his head.
"Hi, it looks like it's exciting to talk to you guys. Can I join?" the man brought his food and drink.
"Can" I replied.
The man smiled. He sat down in an empty chair next to Astin.
"Include me, my name is Andra" the man said as he extended his hand to me.
Ooh .... Andra's name!
"I'm Erika."
"I'm Astin."
"I work in the Marketing section at Cahaya plaza. Where do you guys work?" ask Andra.
"I ...," Astin who will answer immediately I stepped on his foot without Andra's knowledge. He grimaces.
"I work in the finance staff of the Edkatama group branch office. Same with him" I replied. I lied on purpose because I was worried that if I was honest, he would be inferior. Because our job position will occupy the top position in the company.
"Yeah. Same. In the finance division," Astin agreed with me. Thank goodness he was sensitive.
"Wah ...great! Big company, right? The branches are in almost all major cities in Indonesia" commented Andra.
"Yes ... That's it," I said as I stared intently at Astin as Astin flickered his eyes on me.
"Sorry, so keep talking. Let's eat," Andra asked.
We enjoyed our lunch without talking. When she finished, Andra started talking again.
"Can't I have your phone number?" tanyakanya.
"Oh, her phone number. If my phone number is changing. You often call pranksters," said Astin reasoned.
"Oh yeah, nothing," Andra smiled kindly. Duh sweetness! OMG! if this continues, I can get diabetes because I often see his sweet smile!
We exchanged phone numbers. Yup! From today, we can get closer to having his phone number.
"Sorry, I'm ahead! Because I have to meet the big boss!" andra said while looking at her phone.
"Okay, please," replied Erika
"See you later. I'll call you later if my business is in order" Andra said as she passed.
I nodded with a smile. Astin looked at me with a probing look
"Why the hell are you?" my many.
"Serious boss likes him?" Astin back nanya.
"Why is that?"
"Boss doesn't know him yet. Background to him," Astin reminded.
"Yes, that's why, I give you the job to investigate him," I said.
"Huh? Lots of office work! Plus being a detective! I can keep trying not to find a girlfriend," continued Astin.
"Quiet down! You get the pay you deserve for the job!" I said lightly.
"Are you serious? Cihuy ! Okay, ready, ready?! When do I start the investigation?" ask Astin spirit.
"Starting today can be. Tomorrow too," I replied.
"Yes, tomorrow! I need to strategize,"
"Whatever!" my spoken.

I read the info Astin sent. Not bad as early info, thought Erika. Next I will think of a way to get close to Andra.
Astin, try later to find out his hobbies, hangouts, and favorite foods so that he can PDKT.
I'm sending Astin a chat. Before long, Astin replied.
Ready, Boss! Execute it!
I smiled reading a reply from Astin. Somehow Astin figured out these nights. While I was resting in my room after dinner, maybe Astin was wandering around Andra's inn.
Erika POV off
"Erika. we invited the front neighbor. New neighbor moving. Let's go over there. If you don't have a night, you can't" take Ronald to the door of Erika's open room.
"Good, Pa. Don't you think you need to change clothes?" Erika rose from the fall.
"Yes, enough. It's also beautiful" said Ronald with a smile.
They also went to visit the front neighbor of Ronald's house which had just moved in the afternoon. Neighbors around Ronald's house just came out of the house.
"Well, Mr. Ronald, who is this?" Mr. Giri's distant neighbor Mr. Ronald runs into Ronald.
"Oh, this is my son from London. Now stay with me here" replied Ronald.
"I just found out. I just saw," said Mr. Giri.
"Yes, early in the morning to go to work. Afternoon home. It's been a month, Mr. Giri," replied Ronald again.
"Oh yeah. Now there's a dong ngurus Pak Ronald. Just find a wife, he he he he ....,"
"Ha ha ha .....! Not thinking of marriage yet, sir. Still feeling alone,"
"The new neighbor, Mr. Ronald, is a widow!" Mr. Giri whispered to Ronald with a smile, "Yes already, I'm first Mr. Ronald. My wife is waiting for her brother in the hospital. I need to get home quickly. My kids were waiting" had Giri pat Ronald on the shoulder.
"Please Mr. Giri," Ronald also touched Mr. Giri's shoulder.
When they were at the door of the new neighbor's house, the owner of the house greeted them kindly.
"Please enter. Ma'am, Sir,"
They shake hands, then sit on the carpet that has been provided.
"Why move Mommy?" ask Erika.
"The rented owner will not extend the rented house that I used to occupy. He said to his son and son-in-law who would live there, " replied the woman named Tika.
"Oh so yeah," Erika nodded.
"This mother, this father's wife or son?" a middle-aged woman who was with them asked. Looks like the middle-aged man and woman are husband and wife.
"This is my son, ma'am" Ronald replied.
"Ooh ..., if your wife doesn't come?" A woman named Tika asked.
"I've been separated from my wife for a long time."
"Sorry Sir. I don't know" Tika felt bad about asking personal questions.
"It's okay, ma'am," replied Ronald.
"Please drink, sir, Ma'am. This is also where the king banana was sent from the village. Yesterday my brother brought a lot of bananas. Please enjoy," said Tika kindly. There are several types of food served in the living room.
"I'm tipping this Tika son yes Sir, Ma'am. Understandably, he lives alone. If there's anything, please help, "The middle-aged woman looks very dear to Tika.
"Yes, sir, Ma'am" replied Ronald
"Mbak is young. Is it the same age as me?" Erika looked at Tika.
"My age is 25 years, ma'am. Understandably accommodated, married young. So I am a widow of this age" replied Tika.
"I'm 24 years old, ma'am. We could be clop neighbors. I don't have any friends here. I've also only been living here a month with my Papa," Erika looks excited there is a neighbor whose age is not far from her.
There was a notification coming in Erika's phone. Erika saw the incoming chat.
"Let's please enjoy sir, Ma'am," Tika invited again to his guests to enjoy treats from him.
"Sir, Ma'am, Ma'am, Pa, I'm sorry to call first. There's a little business" Erika asks Papa and her new neighbors for permission. They nodded.
Erika out. He seemed to be talking to someone. Ronald continued to talk to his new neighbor.
After Erika finished calling, she went inside the house again.
"It's getting late, my son and I are going home. Thanks for the food," Ronald got up from his seat. Erikapun also took part.
On the way Erika held hands on her Papa's arm.
"It's beautiful Pa," said Erika jahil.
"Ck. What the hell do you mean?" ronald doesn't like being teased.
"Don't get angry dong Pa. Erika just said Tika is beautiful," replied Erika ngeles
Ronald did not answer. After arriving home, they went into their rooms to rest. Tomorrow they have to work.

"Erika's? Astin's? You guys here?" a very familiar voice approached Erika and Astin who were enjoying the cafe dish they had ordered.
"Andra?" Erika pretended to be surprised.
"You're here too?" Astinpun pretended to be surprised.
"Yes. I fill the event at this cafe on Sunday night," replied Andra.
"Oh yeah? You sing here?" Erika rounded her eyes.
"He he he. Singing while playing. That's my band mates" Andra pointed to her friends on the small stage. The atmosphere at the cafe has started to get a lot of visitors.
"Good fun in the cafe atmosphere. I went there first. We want to start performing" Andra said.
"Okay, please. The spirit!" said Erika.
Soon the live music show began. Andra was standing at the front with a guitar. Ed Sheeran's first song "Perfect" began. All visitors applauded to see the show begin They then enjoyed the musical performance of his band Andra.
Arriving at the second song, suddenly Andra stepped off the stage and took Erika up to the stage. Of course, Erika felt at once flattered to be treated special by Andra. The song "At my worst" by Pink Sweat was sung by Andra very romantically. Andra clasped Erika's hand while looking at Erika.
