Merlinda (Ranging Back)
Jerry's Behavior

Jerry had just put his briefcase on the table, then loosened a bit of his tie. And just then, the lines of his lips lifted, even before that. Along the way to the office he did not stop smiling.

Though he began to feel his jawbone a little stiff, but the curvature of his lips, like it could not be held.

" You startled me ", my screech, when he turned around, and met Nado, standing right in front of him. The co-worker grinned, "it looks like your condition has gone very well today", said the man, his eyes staring in full search.

Jerry tried to make out his smile at the time, and make himself as normal as possible.

" Did that woman return your love ? ".

Jerry gasped, and Nado immediately laughed at that. In fact, the man who was born native to the island of the Gods laughed nonstop, "it's easy to guess" he said.

Jerry's face flushed, though not clearly visible.

Then Nado threw some file files on the table, "sign it, everyone's already upset waiting" he said. This time Jerry gasped again, then stared at all the files before him.

" You're still just gonna look at him huh ? ", call Nado, then sighed so deeply, "Hello sir Boss, has your soul not yet returned" he said so upsetly, waving before the man's face.

" Why stack up like this ? ", asked Jerry, and Nado again sighed, "you ask me why ? ", he said turning around to ask.

" It seems that your soul has not yet returned to its place" he said, "God, if only I had not eaten from this work, I have left this foolish friend ", he murmured.

Unconsciously Jerry smiled at that, then without asking again, he shined his signature on the paper, more than the eleven papers he would sign that morning.

" Seriously Nado, why are the files piling up like this?", he asked seriously. Mimik Nado's face like he wanted to swallow him alive right then and there, "so I want to strangle your neck this Jerry ", he growled.

" You really don't remember huh!, if you've been like a zombie for days. Every time I come into your room, you're like a fool who just daydreams, and when I come back you're gone. So how do these files not pile up ", the gap is getting furious.

Jerry hung up for a moment, "do I really like that ? ", he said he couldn't believe it.

" You want me to show it from the cctv ? ", said Nado.

" You're such a bitch these few days ", he added again, "and also yesterday", he continued, and this time the sentence was more emphasized, even his eyes lit up a little when he said that.

" You can go home without saying ".

" What happened in Jakarta ? ", he said he wanted to know.

" My life and my eyes are there, Nad" said Jerry, his eyes looking serious. Once again Nado, sighed deeply, in order to hold back his emotions that were already mounting and ready to erupt.

" Why don't they just die" he said annoyed. Pull the file in front of him, and take him away.

Jerry smiled, sitting on the side of his desk. If only he wasn't his little friend. Maybe this morning was the last time the guy worked with her.

" Hey Jerry", call the man, suddenly coming back. Jerry, who was watching him, was a little touched.

Nado's face at the time, as if very curious, "We got an email from a New York company" he said. Hearing that Jerry's body reacted, he immediately got up from his seat.

" I saw it from a big company, really big one. I don't understand why they gave me a new project, not another offer. Like you signed a contract with them. Not just one project, but three projects, and that's real. I've checked all those projects ".

Jerry was still listening.

" What is it, fake email ? ", said Nado guessed, but then he shook his head again, "no, no I've checked that too ".

" But Jer, I still have my doubts. How companies of that size use our Vendors. Even the projects they offer, have previously wanted to be given to large vendors ".

" Just learn all the files they give you ".

" Firmly" added Jerry.

Nado gawking heard that. Not only because of this sudden project, he was shocked. But Jerry's face. The man was so serious, and he recognized that face very well, the face he had only seen a few times, when the man was handling something so important, "are you sure ? ", he asked, And Jerry nodded solemnly.

" Aren't you in doubt ? ", he asked again and Jerry shook his head, "this time it has to be more serious Nad, not just the job I'm betting on here" he said.

Nado was still stunned, "are you sure about this project ? ", ask again. And Jerry nodded again, "remember Nad, you have to study it carefully ".

Although he did not understand, Nado nodded, and his eyes still stared in full search at Jerry. He was really curious, what made the man immediately so serious in the project he said, even though he had not read it.

" Give your face back like that ", he said, and Jerry gasped again, he threw a clueless look, "just when you came, your face was beaming like wildflowers on the beach side of Kuta ", he said detailed the max.

Jerry's eyes grew, "Fuck, you mean wildflowers" he said, though he laughed.

" Yes very much like the flower" said Nado, pointing at Jerry's laughing face, and the man immediately gave a lip.

" You're always quick to guess when you're in love" said Nado, leaving Jerry's room. He left the man who was silent now.

Just now that Nado closed the door of his room, he had already walked quickly towards the mirror that was deliberately placed in the corner of the room. He stared wide at his own face, "usual" he murmured. And at that moment, the door of his room was again opened by Nado, and he was aghast then and there.

" Upper twenty minutes we have a meeting", said the man, with his lips curled with laughter.

Today Nado was endlessly sighed, by the man who had been with her all day.

Once a few minutes, he finds Jerry looking at his alroji in his hand, then looks at the phone screen. It continues like that, all day.

Before the meeting, and after, the first thing the man saw was his phone, even at lunch. The dish before him, was like nothing more interesting than that flat object.

And at the moment, they're just done with a meeting with a client, and lucky this is the last one. As Nado murmured, throughout the meeting. Lucky this is the last one, he muttered without stopping, because throughout the meeting, Jerry looked very riled up, not even hesitating to check his phone in front of clients. Just one more time to meet them. Nado was sure he was going crazy that day, because Jerry reset.

" If I were that client. Really I'm going to cancel this contract ", he muttered, on their way to Jerry's car.

The man turned to him, "are you really this crazy to be in love huh ", cried Nado, "it looks like I have to take my low blood medicine today" he said again, patting the nape of his neck, and guiltlessly Jerry laughed.

And the phone rings. His lips line up when he looked at the screen, even Nado shuddered to find his face, "you're so ridiculous Jerry", he said. But the man no longer cared what he said.

With sparkling eyes, and pinched lips holding a smile, the man answered the phone call on his phone.

" Are you awake ? ", ask so gently, even very. Until Nado wanted to spit out all the contents in his stomach at that moment.

" I just finished meeting with a client. I really didn't lie ".

Nado turned his head quickly at that moment, looked at Jerry with both of his eyebrows twitched together, then shook his head, "really and very laughably", he murmured.

" A minute. I'll get to the apartment quickly, then call you right away ".

" Really ".

" Thirty minutes. Give me thirty minutes ", Jerry said to his phone, and Nado turned to him again with enlarged eyes, "thirty minutes", he muttered, " he passed by where thirty minutes. Through the wind ", he continued, and by then Jerry was done with his phone call.

" You're my best friend" said the man embracing Nado's body. And Nado frowned, "i really am cursing at you, if you're asking me to come home in a taxi right now ".

And just then, Jerry immediately grinned, "sorry buddy. Really I will compensate for the cost ", he said without guilt.

" You just drove me back to Jerry's office. Then you can go home soon. Does that take a lot of time huh ".

" I promised you thirty minutes. If I have to go back to the office, I need an hour of Nado ".

" Who you promised huh, until you sacrificed our friendship" Nado choked, and this was the umpteenth time she was upset today, because it was that guy.

" You don't need to know who. But this concerns my happiness and my future Nado ".

" You've really gone crazy. Go you shit, I really don't want to see your face anymore" said Nado getting inflamed, and Jerry just laughed, and actually left the guy, "excuse me friend", he exclaimed, while carrying the car passed.

" Aarrrrrrrggghhhhh ", cried Nado, expressing his annoyance, "wishing I would hit him in the face ".

•••

" No more no less not ", said Jerry with his lips blushed, as Meili answered his phone, but at that moment just a step of his foot into the apartment. And exactly thirty minutes later, after him, closed the last time the call was.

And after a few seconds, his phone rang and he smiled. Meili again made a video call to her, "do you not believe me" she said. The woman behind the scenes, with her eyes wide awake, shook her head, "I want to see your face", she said.

At that moment Jerry half-deadly held his lips back from smiling, even though he knew it must have been a waste. That line, it must be unbreakable.

" Have you not taken a shower ? " ask Jerry to divert.

" A little while. I still want to see your face ".

Jerry turned his face away from the camera screen. He could not help his smile at that moment.

" How is today ? ", Meili asked, with a still hoarse voice.

" Very good", he said directly, as his mouth moved uncontrollably.

" What's your dream beautiful ? ", he said turning around to ask. At that moment, he realized their chatter was so stiff, but that was all he could do from their conversation. His tongue is still stiff, to talk to women, "not as beautiful as it is today" Meili said. The answer sounds like seduction, but that's what happened.

His sleep was not good, as he could not wait for the morning, and exchanged news with the man.

Jerry's heart was pumped erratically by Meili. It was really hard to hide her blushing cheeks, "what are your plans today ? ", he asked diverting.

" Talking to you, what else besides that ? " say Meili honestly.

" You don't have any college hours today ? ".

" I'm still on holiday ".

" You must have added your own holiday ". Jerry and Meili immediately chuckled, "you know so quickly about me" he said.

" What do you want to do all day long ".

" Don't I told you I wanted to exchange news with you. Jesus, sorry. You must be busy ".

" Not really" Jerry replied, turning to the laptop on the table. And he said, "your time is midnight" he said on his laptop, smiling.

" Who are you looking at ? ", chirps Meili with both eyebrows that are linked.

" There is no ".

" It's impossible. You smile Jerry ".

" There really is no dear ", said Jerry, and Meili was stunned for a moment, by the end of the word the man said, "toward your rear camera.

Jerry laughed, and obeyed the woman's wish, "there was no one. There's only a laptop ".

" Don't just go there, but to all the rooms" he said again and Jerry kept following him, "nothing. I won't lie to you ", she said, and Meili grinned, "bath, ", she ordered.

" What do you want to do ? ".

" Who, me ? ".

" I'm going to take a shower too. Then breakfast, and maybe, today I want to learn to make a cake ".

" Why learn to make cakes ? ", asked Jerry in surprise.

" For you, for whom else. I want to be your all-round wife" Meili said. He did not know, if there is a heart that almost exploded because of his words, "learn to make cakes first, then learn to cook... ".

" It doesn't have to be so", said Jerry cutting, and Meili stared at him, "I accept anything. But at that moment, Meili just shook her head, "I have to be versatile. In our house there will not be many servants, so I have to get used to doing it myself ", he said dreamt. Jerry's pupils grew bigger hearing that. She did not expect that the woman would think of her words as they walked along the shore that night.

And what made him more amazed. The woman seemed to want to do it, as if preparing for it.

" Truly I won't make you until it has to be that Meili" he said seriously, "as hard as I am. But I won't make you trouble ", he said again, his earnestness clearly visible from the look in his eyes at that moment.

And Meili smiled, "I know, it's just that I wanted to do it" she said. Back then, they both turned their faces away from the screen. They are equally embarrassed, to show the blushing hue of the cheeks due to blushing each other.
