Chapter 6 Extra Service

• 8 pm (Dubai Time)
• The night was filled with extremely bright lights. Even the stars in the sky looked dull. Eldrian walked towards the restaurant of the hotel he was staying at. His stomach was getting hungry and he took some of the buffet menu. Looking at the table some distance towards 3 o'clock. Eldrian saw Daniel sitting and having dinner with a woman. But it's not a foreign woman. Her hair is black. The woman was wearing a flashy red dress with fancy jewelry and a branded bag. That's Rachel's ex-Eldrian. The girl he had betrothed before.
• His father, Mr. Knight found a mate for Eldrian, she is the daughter of one of the richest men in Indonesia. But somehow Daniel knew the woman. Eldrian didn't want to continue the matchmaking because he knew Daniel was interested in her. Likewise Rachel, instead of dating Eldrian, Rachel seemed more comfortable around his secretary.
• “Turns out Rachel lives in Dubai. No wonder Daniel insisted on dealing with Dubai investors immediately. It turns out that this is one of the reasons,” thought Eldrian.
• He didn't want to interrupt their date and chose to find a table out of sight of the couple. While looking at his cell phone, Eldrian started eating dishes from the United Arab Emirates. What is certain is that it feels dominant with camel and goat meat. For some reason, Eldrian had felt homesick for wanting to eat Indonesian chicken. Yup, crispy chicken with cheese sauce and black pepper.
• Drrrrr...!
• There are several incoming messages. Eldrian looked enthusiastic about opening it but it was only a message about work and some financial reports.
• Eldrian wanted to dial Ilona's number and start the call. But he realized he was just a new boy with Office Boy status. He was sure Ilona would be uncomfortable if Eldrian seemed to be overdoing it. Eldrian began to restrain himself. The camel's ribs became an outlet for his discomfort, and it was true that he bit the ribs until they broke.
• “Auu..!” his teeth hurt. The bone was quite tough even though the meat was tender and good to eat.
• Eldrian felt bored he intended to return to his hotel room. But then came some scantily clad blonde women. They introduced themselves and explained that their Dubai investors had sent them to accompany Eldrian tonight.
• "This is terrible!" He thought. The facilities have started beyond expectations.
• But it looks like the girls are working on attracting a man. Eldrian immediately stood up from the table he was eating at. He hastily excused himself instead of responding to the women. It wasn't that Eldrian wasn't interested in women, but he hated mad women who used any means to get material things.
• Eldrian entered the hotel room and immediately locked it. He was a bit horrified when suddenly an unknown woman followed him.
• “Hhhhhh....!” Eldrian sighed.
• Once again he was running away from reality. His head was suddenly heavy and he decided to lie down on the soft pillow of goose feathers. He looked at his cell phone.
• MESSAGE RECEIVED!
• Eldrian opened the message and yup, Ilona replied to his message.
• "Yup, I thought you were sick, I didn't know it turned out that you moved offices, so that's it," Ilona replied.
• Before Eldrian could type a reply, another message came in and it was from Ilona again.
• "Sunday I also took part in the launching event at the head office, but I canceled it because I had a need. Later, if you need with the marketing team, you can just go straight to Miss. Wenny, Okay? I handed over the assignment yesterday, have a good day at work!" Ilona ordered.
• Eldrian smiled. Like getting rain in the desert of the Arab Ilona's message made him forget about the scary woman he had just met.
• "Yup, Ilona. Thank you. If you need a driver, I'm ready whenever," Eldrian replied.
• The night in Dubai seemed to glow with the flames of fireworks in Eldrian's heart. The fireworks exploded and only Eldrian could see because of course, that night was not New Year's Eve.
• That afternoon the cafe where the reunion was was quite crowded. Ilona, ​​a woman with long hair is even prettier in a bone-white short skirt. A cropped white knit jacket as outer and light brown girly shoes. Her brownish-black hair was intentionally left loose in a slight knot at the back.
• It can be seen that several alumni of the Ilona campus are starting to attend. Some came with their partners and some even came with their children. The cafe is quite big, and the architecture is minimalist, with some pretty flower pots, paintings that look like Picasso, and the latest Western music.
• Ilona sat in a corner while waiting for her classmate. Understandably this is a big reunion so almost all generations are there. Some looked familiar, and some she didn't even recognize.
• “Ilona, ​​long time no see!” greets a woman who just came. She is Indah's old friend, often taking the same courses making them quite close.
• "Hi!"
• "You are more beautiful Lona," said Indah praised.
• "Yeah, because I am a girl. If I am a boy, I will be handsome, Dear. Haha," answered Lona.
• "Am I getting fat or not?" she asked.
• Indeed, it can be seen that her best friend's body is getting wider, wearing a shirt with a cross-stripe motif which makes her even more rounded. It's just that being a good friend, Ilona will not offend her. She had not had time to comment. Indah whispered.
• "I am pregnant!" she said.
• Ilona's eyes widened in surprise. "What? Pregnant!" she wondered because as far as she could remember Indah was not even married.
• "Yup! I got married unofficially two months ago!"
• "Ghost! Why do you have to get married unofficially? Why don't you just get married legally?" asked Ilona regretfully.
• “My husband is already married, Ilona!” Indah whispered.
• Ilona's eyes bulged as if they were about to fall off. Her face was red, she didn't expect her friend to choose that way.
• “Whaaaaat..!! Why did you marry a married man? Are you crazy?" Ilona felt that her friend's behavior was inappropriate.
• “He said he loved me, Lona! But he can't divorce his wife because they already have a child," Indah defended herself.
• "Then? How about his wife? You don't care about her feelings? We are all women, is it appropriate for us to hurt the hearts of fellow women? Then the child, don't you think that the child needs a complete parent figure? How can you live like that?” said Ilona lecturing her friend at length.
• Indah smile while saying. “PRANKS!”
• "Hahaha, why do you believe, Ilona? It's impossible for me to secretly marry a coquette?" said Indah, who giggled because she managed to prank her old friend.
• "Here, hold my stomach! All of these are lumps of fat, 100% authentic, selected meat," Indah explained while showing her distended belly casually.
• Ilona looked at Indah with an annoyed face, it was useless for her to waste energy giving a long speech, it turned out that her old friend only intended to play a trick on her. Even though Ilona was upset, inside she was relieved that her friend was not in a risky relationship with a man.
• "Darn, you! Watch out lest you get married in a way that shouldn't be!” Ilona reminded.
• "Hihihi, you can trust me," Indah replied patting Ilona's shoulder while soothing her frustration.
• "How? Who of our friends have come?” Indah asked.
• "Not much, maybe they are busy, after all this is a general reunion, not only our generation is coming. Maybe they thought it would be too crowded, so they were too lazy to come,” said Ilona, ​​guessing.
• "Yeah, at first I was too lazy to come here but because you said you wanted to come, I decided to come!" Indah answered while looking around.
• "Yeah! You have to come, if you don't come, I'll come home!" answered Ilona which made her old friend laugh.
• The two of them began to chat casually while eating the dishes that had been prepared. There are buffet foods such as fried rice, noodles, potatoes, white rice, salads, and other dishes.
• Ilona eats fried rice with stir-fried meat like ribs in spicy seasoning. Wenny took white rice, vegetable salad, fish flour, fried chicken, and chili sauce. They ate voraciously, it looked like the delicious food made the two of them start enjoying the reunion that day.
• Several alumni appeared to be arriving but looked unknown. Ilona's friend, a popular girl in her class, entered. Fransisca, still the same as before, always looks perfect. Today she looks full makeup with quite impressive fashion. Her hair was dyed dark bluish-black, her fingernails covered in soft salmon-colored polish, a bright floral print dress, and an expensive bone-white sling bag.
• "Hi, Guys. How are you?" Fransisca greeted Ilona and Indah who were enjoying their meal.
• "Hello Fransisca, come sit here!" Indah asked. "Almost none of our classmates came!" Indah informed.
• "What? very unexciting!" Francesca's face looked disappointed.
• "It's okay, go grab some food first! The food is pretty good, you know!" Ilona offered, accompanied by Indah's nod, who had almost finished eating the food on her plate.
• "No! I'm on a diet, my body is a bit fat!" answered Fransisca who was only interested in the plain water on the table.
• "This body is fat? Then, what about me?" Indah said offended
