Leah Riady, Story Life!

Chapter 4

"Then Mrs. Leah talks to herself the same name Anna ...,"

She said as she hurriedly ran out.

"HELLO!" said Leah. Luckily Anna wasn't standing here. If Anna was in front of him, she would crush Anna's skinny body!

"Aih, Leah ..." Anna's nasal voice sounded crisp in Leah's ears. "Really fierce?"

"What's wrong, Anna? I'm really busy! "

"How busy is it that you can't be bothered?" Anna laughed nasally, maybe she meant to sound sexy, but in Leah's ears it sounded like the groaning of a male orangutan in Safari Park.

“Anna! I'm really busy again! If you don't want to say what you want right away, I'll just hang up the phone! ”

"Deuuu ... that's all angry. Don't get angry easily. You will get old soon ... It's a shame if you look old. Later the boys won't want to be with you anymore ... "

Damn it! What did Anna want, to talk like that?

Anna laughed at her own joke.

"If you just call to say that, it doesn't seem really important!"

Anna laughed again. "Not really. Actually, I want to invite you to choose a wedding decoration for Audrey! " While holding back her anger, Leah replied

“What for? That's Audrey and Hadrian's business! "

"You know, you can't do that, Leah dear ... We are both bridesmaids, so we also have to be responsible for the selection of the wedding decorations ..." Leah frowned. I don't think Audrey ever told you that one of the duties bridesmaids' is to help you choose the wedding decorations!

"Audrey never said that!"

"Now Anna says! Just the same, right? " Leah growled angrily.

Tuuttt ... tuuuttt ... tuuuttt... There was an interlude.

"Wait a minute!" Leah hit line 2. "Hello!" Leah snapped. Her patience was now at its limit. Sheena could just as easily connect the line phone. Leah had given very clear orders that only a few important people should be directly connected to the line telephone. Sheena has to sort the rest first.

“Leah! Is that how you talk to Mom? " came his mother's voice.

Leah snorted in annoyance. Okay, My Mom is one of the important people mentioned earlier, but this time Leah really didn't have much energy to argue.

“Why haven't you called home for several weeks? You have forgotten, do you have an old mother and an old father who are always looking forward to hearing from their daughter who lives alone in Jakarta? Far apart from her parents? "

Leah groaned softly, "Oh, Mom, don't overdo it ..."

"You're overreacting! For weeks, I haven't told your parents! Mom doesn't know if your face has turned into a square or square, or is it still oval like before! "

"Okay! My face is still oval like before, only now my ears are a bit too big because I have to listen to Mom's scolding. "

“Mom is not complaining! Mom just wants to remind you! You should call home frequently. Tell me how you are, ask your dad and mom! Mom and your Dad have children, but don't feel like they have children! "

"Yes, Mom, yes!" Leah replied impatiently.

"Mom heard that you bridesmaid are Audrey's, huh?" Mom's voice sounded soft now. Leah sighed. This time it's longer.

"Yes." She already knew where the end of this conversation would lead.

“Even Audrey is about to get married. When are you serious about looking for a boyfriend? "

Well, right! That again, that again! That's always what Mom asked. Was it Leah's fault that no boy told her they loved her? How come she has to beg boys for love to show Mom that she's serious about looking for a boyfriend? Leah is seriously looking for a boyfriend! I'm really serious. But, just guys who don't know where to hide!

"Hey! Did you hear what Mom said? " Mom's voice again rose.

"Listen, Mom. I've even memorized what Mom said. "

"Is that so?" Her mother's voice was trembling.

Wow, what a bother! Leah thought. If it gives off vibrations, it means Mom is offended and is ready to explode.

“If you tell Mom, you're always not happy! Even though Mom is just worried about you. If you're not happy, that's okay, don't just be Moms child! "

Click!

"Aaarrrggghhh!" Leah screamed in annoyance.

“Leah! Hello ... Hello ...”

It was Anna's voice. She's still faithfully waiting for Leah on line 1!

"Yes, Anna!"

"Why are you screaming like Tarzan? Looks like you have a personality problem, right? Earlier you were angry, now you are screaming. Maybe you need help from a psychologist? "

Praaaakkkk! Leah slammed the receiver back into place.

Damn Anna! Now she says I'm crazy!

Kkrrriiinnngggg! Leah covered her ears. No more telephone!

Krrriiiinnnnngg! Krrrriiiinnnngggg! Kkkrrrriiinnngggg!

But, apparently the phone didn't just give up. The phone persistently keeps ringing. Calling Leah. Her efforts were even more persistent than the demonstrators who usually hang out at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout.

Kkkkkkkkkkkrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnggggggggg !!!

Oh right, the phone is still ringing.

"I don't want to take the phone!" shouted Leah. She slammed down the phone, but unconsciously pressed her hand on the button speaker phone. Immediately a deep male voice filled the room.

"Hello? Leah Riady? "

Leah immediately looked at the phone. Whose voice is that? It felt like she had never known a man with a voice like this? His voice was heavy and very pleasant to hear. Undecided, Leah answered the deep voice, “Yes, this is Leah. Who are you?"

"I'm Daffin Tanoto, bestman Hadrian's."

Daffin? Bestman Hadrian's?

"Yes, what is up?"

“I just came from Singapore. My plane just arrived, but no one can pick me up. Can you please pick me up? "

"No way! Am I your driver ?! ” Leah snapped angrily.

"Waaah ... your voice is so loud huh." There was a small laugh from the other side.

Leah hates being laughed at, especially when she's angry. She became even more angry.

"Don't laugh at me!"

"Um, sorry. But I really don't know the way. I also don't want to take a taxi alone. So please, pick me up now. "

“ What!! Heeey ... "

Tuut tuut tuut tuut.

You know? You know? You know?

"God damn it!" Leah yelled and then slammed the phone down. This man must be taught a lesson! Leah grumbled to herself. He immediately grabbed the car keys and walked wide strides out of his office. Leah walked over to Sheena's table. Sheena immediately frowned in fear as she saw Leah approaching her.

"The next time you don't cut the phone for me, I'll fire you!"

***

Leah snorted in annoyance. It had been two hours since he had been looking around looking for an address that could not clearly say since bestman Hadrian's. Two hours ago, when Leah arrived at the airport, bestman Hadrian's named Daffin Tanoto immediately threw his travel bag into the trunk of Leah's car.

"Disco Street, South Jakarta ..." he muttered incoherently and then threw himself down beside Leah. Leah hesitates to ask again. Later he thought she was a country girl who didn't know the way in Jakarta. Heard from Adri's story, since childhood Daffin lived in Singapore. His parents are Australian, but they have lived in Singapore for a long time. Daffin himself was born in Singapore. Now he also works there. This time he went to Australia to complete a project, as well as being the bestman in Adri's marriage. However, turning here and there, Leah finally gave up too. He looked away, annoyed that Daffin hadn't helped show him the slightest way. And when she saw Daffin's closed eyes, Leah's heart became even more irritated.

What a b***h! she muttered to herself. Am I the driver? I'm tired of driving, looking around for an unclear address. Where's the traffic jam, again! Uh, he's actually sleeping well! The cursing grew more intense.

Annoyed, Leah continued to watch Daffin, who was still fast asleep. Thinking of tapping Daffin's head. The road ahead of her was a little choked up, so Leah had some flexibility to pay attention to her companion at Audrey's wedding. Leah laughed silently. A companion accompanying the bridesmaid. Hihi ... funny too.

Dddiiinnnn ...!

Leah gasped in surprise. She hurriedly pushed the car forward. Stop again. Slowly, Leah glanced at Daffin again. The man is still sleeping. Crazy! Asleep once sleep.

Um ... but ... if you pay attention, Daffin is cool too. Thick eyebrows. His square jaw looks bluish, visibly shaved. His full lips were red. People say that the man with the full lips is the man who never lies. They also often give praise to the woman they idolize. Oops, it's moving again. Leah glanced at Daffin again. The man's regular breathing indicated that he was still fast asleep.

Do you think he has a girlfriend yet?

Leah was surprised. Then shook his head hard. Where did that come from? Leah turned back to pay attention to Daffin. This time it was serious enough to wrinkle his forehead. The Shirt polo yellow Daffin wore seemed to accentuate his masculinity. On his hands were jutting veins.

Hmmm ... hardworking type. Leah likes hard working men. Oops, she hurriedly corrected that thought. she wiped it off until it was gone. If you see the first impression when you met earlier, Daffin seems to be a man who likes to spread charm. Who really exalts his masculinity. Sports crazy,films action that only show scenes of fighting, crazy watching boxing matches or WWF full of sadism.

Hiiyyy ...! Leah shivered. She would never want to deal with a man like that. Leah remembered Nathan. The small man who was never overbearing was as fond of music and theater as he did. Nathan also doesn't like films action. He prefers drama films over action.

However, Nathan was not as proud as Daffin ...

Leah was surprised. Where else did that thought come from?

Diiinnn! Dddiiinnnn! Dddiiinnn!

Ouch! The road ahead was deserted again. Leah hurriedly pulled the car forward again. The sound of a small laugh next to him made him turn his head in surprise. Daffin's lids were still tightly closed, but the corners of his lips were pulled up in a sexy way, forming a small smile. Leah's chest was pounding. Daffin looks even more macho !

“From ten minutes ago, you have turned your head five times to pay attention to me. That means every two minutes, you want to see me. " Daffin suddenly spoke! Leah's chest pounded harder. Damn it! Apparently this man had been pretending to sleep. Now the heat seemed to flow up Leah's face. She was caught watching Daffin. I'm so embarrassed! Maybe Daffin thought, I'm a lonely girl who really craves men.

Ouch, where's that thought from? How come it looks like matchmaking contact ads in tabloids?

"Why? Do you like it, see me? " Now Daffin's eyes were completely open, but Leah didn't even dare to look away. A heat hotter than the sun in the Sahara Desert now burst into his face. Her face must be red like a lobster ripe. Leah chuckled again. This time he laughed at Leah's face, which was red like a cooked lobster.

Leah cursed silently. Cursing herself why she has to share a car with this jerk. And cursing herself even more why she had to pay attention to this jerk five times in the last ten minutes!

“I… I don't know where Disco Street is. I wanted to ask, but I saw that you slept really well. So I'm not comfortable waking it up ..., "he said looking for excuses. Daffin is still smiling. Seductive sexy smile.

Dug! Dug! Dug! Dug Dug Dug Dug Dug Dug !!!

Damn it! Who the hell beat the drum in my heart! Leah shouted softly.

"Turn here," said Daffin.

"Huh here?" Leah hurriedly turned the steering wheel.

"Just go straight to the end ...," said Daffin again.

Leah obeyed Daffin's directions while still looking straight ahead. She still didn't dare look at Daffin. Still cursing the person who beat the drum in his heart.

"Just stop ahead ..."

Leah gawked. Is this the Disco Street anyway? All Leah saw was a large, vacant lot. What are you doing here Daffin? Earlier, Leah thought, Daffin asked to be taken to his place of stay in Jakarta. But this ...

"Uh, wait ...," Leah exclaimed as Daffin opened the door beside him.

"Please open the trunk."

Leah opened her trunk then followed Daffin. From his travel bag, the man took out a digital camera. He then walked over to the empty land. Shoot from various angles. Stop. Have a look. Walk to the middle. Then shoot again. Stop. Look up, then shoot again.

Leah leaned against her car. Still confused about what Daffin was doing. But he decided to keep quiet. Don't want to talk much to this guy, especially after the embarrassing incident.

Daffin seemed to have finished his business. He put his digital camera into the travel bag. After closing the trunk, he got into Leah's car again. 

With an exasperated heart, Leah also got into the car. Her car!

"To Setiabudi's apartment ...," said Daffin without Leah asking. Leah gave a small snort. They drove in silence. From Jalan Disco to Setiabudi Apartment it will take two hours. When she arrived at Setiabudi Apartments, Leah was exhausted. Her body is tired. Her eyes are sleepy. She took a deep breath, remembering the journey she still had to take back to her own apartment. But ... That's weird! How come Leah seemed to recognize the scene here ...

Leah, half dazed, drove her car to the parking booth. She rolled down the car window.

"Good evening, Miss Leah ...," said the parking attendant familiarly. "How come I just got home tonight, miss?"

Leah smiled confusedly. "Yes, there was some business ..." Leah was half confused and half in disbelief, because she also felt she recognized the face of the parking attendant at the Setiabudi Apartment and was recognized by the parking attendant. Surrounding and turning, she looked around again. It felt like she was really familiar with the environment of this apartment. Suddenly Leah gasped. As if enlightened, his eyes glowed sharply. This is ... Setiabudi's apartment? Setiabudi's apartment is my apartment!

Daffin nodded slowly. "While in Jakarta, until the wedding party was over, Hadrian and Audrey suggested that I stay at the Setiabudi Apartment."

"What number apartment?" Leah hurriedly.

"322."

322! It's located next to her apartment!

"It's right next to my apartment!" screamed Leah.

Daffin's eyebrows rose. "Oh, great then," he said casually. Very nice? What is good about it? Leah was very annoyed by Adri and Audrey who found bestman their apartment right next to Leah's apartment, without knowing anything about it herself.

"You can't live there!"

"Why can't you?" Daffin asked back.

"Because ... because ..." Leah was confused. Don't know what excuse to put forward. That's right, why can't Daffin live in the apartment next to Leah? There is no clear reason to ban it. Leah only knew she didn't like Daffin, this charmer guy. Daffin smiled again. That sexy smile that, again, made Leah's chest rumble loudly.

"Because you're afraid to fall in love with me, huh?" asked Daffin lightly.

Deg! Leah's face turned red again. This time it was the color of a ripe tomato.

"Why did I fall in love with you?" challenge Leah. Her eyes were rounded, staring boldly at Daffin. In fact, if she followed her heart, Leah would have just disappeared into the earth because she was so embarrassed. Daffin smiled wider. "Because I'm sexy," he replied with a wink. "And ... since you've been watching me every two minutes ..." he added with a seductive smile.

"Crazy!" scolded Leah.

Leah's car was perfectly parked. Daffin came down without another word. He took the bag from the trunk that Leah had opened, then walked towards the elevator. Leah followed without uttering a word.

Tiinggg ...

They both got in the elevator. Daffin's fingers pressed button 15. Leah felt the elevator move up. She was still annoyed. It's not really annoyed that Daffin lives next door. She was pissed off more because of Audrey and Adri, but Leah believed this was all Audrey's idea, she didn't tell her anything about Daffin going to rent the apartment every time she was right next to mine.

Tiiinnngg ...

They turned, walked a little, then stopped. Eh? You know, why did it stop at apartment number 323? Daffin pressed the doorbell.

"Eh ..." Leah didn't comment because Hwannie had already opened the door.

"Who?" It was Airin's voice.

The door opened and Airin's head popped out of the apartment. The girl is holding chopsticks. From the open door, you can see that a bowl of steaming noodles is placed on a short table, in the living room, in front of the television. Airin's bad habit, always eating while watching television!

"Want to find Leah, OK? The Leah hasn't yet ... ”Airin's sentence didn't finish.

Stop hanging as if it evaporates in the air. Airin herself stood still watching the towering figure of Daffin, two heads taller than herself. Her eyes sparkled without blinking. One of the chopsticks she had been holding fell, while the other was still stuck in his mouth. Earlier, Airin spoke while putting chopsticks into his mouth.

"Hello ...," said Daffin with a smile.

Airin, as if hypnotized, stared at Daffin without blinking. She did not return Daffin's greeting, only stunned at the man's figure.

“I am Daffin, bestman Hadrian's. I will live in the apartment next door while in Jakarta. Hmm ... until Hadrian and Audrey's wedding ends. " Daffin finished his introductory monologue.

"Good night, Leah." Daffin nodded politely at Leah. "Good night, Airin." Now Daffin nodded towards Airin. Then she strolled into apartment number 322. As soon as the door to apartment 323 closed, Airin immediately reacted.

"He knows my name!" she shrieked happily.

"Then what?Leah sneered as she walked into her apartment.

"Why doesn't he just stay here?" Airin still squealed.

"Shhh!" Leah rebuked him. The fear that Airin's scream could be heard to the side and made Daffin cringe. "What are you doing? He can't possibly live here! ”

"Why?"

"I won't allow!"

"Why not?"

"Airin Pramudya!" Leah snapped. "You're awesome. How can you let a stranger like him stay with us! "

"Sexy foreigner." Airin smiled broadly.

"Crazy!" Leah shouted and then went into her room. Airin followed Leah's steps. His dinner was soon forgotten.

"You are crazy if you refuse a guy that sexy stay in this apartment!" replied Airin no less fiercely.

"Crazy!" Leah enriched her curse vocabulary while shaking her head.

"Where did Hadrian meet such a sexy, rich guy?" Airin threw himself on the bed. Leah was shaking her head again.

"Daffin is Adri's best friend, that's why he can be bestman Adri's."

"He's really hot, you know, Le ...," sighed Airin.

Leah pursed her lips. "What?" sneer. “Fascinating guy!"

Guys really glorify their masculinity! Not really! That's not my type at all! "

Airin stared at Leah in silence. Pay no heed to Leah's cursing.

"I have a feeling he will go out with you ..."

Leah glared, showing an expression of contempt at Airin's words just now, but her heart was pounding too.

"Feeling so really if you're wrong! I do not want!" she argued.

"Better Nathan ...," she added softly.

Airin shook her head. Her style was exactly like Leah's grandmother, when Leah was little she refused to eat rice.

“Leah, Leah… Compared to Nathan, Daffin is clearly far away. He's a hundred thousand times better than Nathan. "

"Crazy!" Leah threw a bolster at Airin. She then came out of the guest room, walked towards the bathroom which is located next to the kitchen. When her hand reached out to hold the door handle, suddenly the doorbell sounded.

Leah walked to the door and saw from the hole who the visitors were at these nights. It was Daffin! What is he up to? Leah opened the door. Her eyebrows rose when she saw Daffin handing out a package. "What is this?" she asked. The smell of food wafted from the package.

"I ordered food for you. You haven't had dinner earlier, have you? ”

Leah was stunned. Couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"Good night." Daffin nodded politely, then left.

"Who?" Airin's head popped out of Leah's room.

"Daffin," Leah answered softly. "He brought me dinner. He said I haven't had dinner yet. "

“Wow! He really cares! " Airin soared with joy.

Dug! Dug! Dug! Leah's inner drummer strikes again!

* * *

Krriingggg!

Leah reached for the receiver that was right next to her. "Hello ..."

"Ha ... hello ..." Nathan's voice!

Leah turned the television volume down. It took quite a bit of effort to listen to Nathan's shattering conversation. Even so, Leah really enjoyed it.

"Hi ... Have you not slept late at night?" Leah glanced at the clock on the wall. The short needle was already pointing to the number ten.

"Ka ... why aren't you sleeping yourself?"

"I?" Leah watched the jewelery sketch on her lap. “I finished dinner, suddenly got an idea, so I hurried to draw it. If not, you will forget. " Nathan chuckled.

Praannggg ...!

"Why, what's that sound?" Leah asked in surprise.

"Ooh ... that ... that's my plate broke."

Geez Nathan! On the phone can still be nervous that way! Leah smiled slightly. "You just finished eating too?"

"Yes ... yes. Th ... just after ... finished work. " Nathan laughed weakly.

"I see ..." There was silence. Both Leah and Nathan seemed to be having trouble finding good conversation topics.

Finally Nathan was the first to break the silence between them.

"Leah ... tomorrow afternoon do you have work or not?" Nathan could be heard trying to catch his breath. Leah thought for a moment. "I don't think so. So what?"

"Tomorrow I'm told to take a photo at the concertband jazz of the French La Rouge. Then I got ticket two. Do you want to come along?" Wow ... there's progress. Nathan had dared to ask her to dating!

Leah smiled happily. "Can. What time do you want to pick me up? "

"I ... I'll pick you up from your workplace at five o'clock, yes ..."

"Okay ... See you tomorrow ..."

"Hmm ... I ... yes. Good night, beautiful Leah… ”

Leah put down the receiver with a smile. Kriingg! The phone rings again.

"Leah ..." This time it was Daffin's voice.

Leah gasped. How did Daffin know his number?

"How do you know my number?"

“Your phone number, your cell phone number, your office address, your e-mail address, your hobbies, your favorite food, your favorite color. Anyway what you like and you don't like, I know everything. " Daffin was heard chuckling. "You think I'm not going to find out who will be my bridesmaids at Hadrian and Audrey's wedding?"
