Chapter 5 Smile of My Boss

Cinta is relaxing at home in the afternoon after she comes home from work. She lay on her bed while watching television accompanied by snacks that she bought in a kiosk near the house. When she was engrossed in and laughing herself, her old cellphone rang.

An unknown number made her reluctant to pick up the phone.

But the caller didn't give up, making Cinta forced to pick up the phone.

"Hall ..." Having not finished the sentence from Cinta's mouth, the person who called her immediately spoke at length.

"Why did you take so long to pick up my phone. You are ready now, my driver will pick you up. In ten minutes he will arrive."

"But---?"

"Get ready, Cinta. I'm Bian, and I want you to accompany you to watch tonight. My driver is already in front of your house." Cinta immediately stood up and left her room, sure enough there was already a sedan with a black BMW logo and a man waiting for her.

"Why do you always act however you want ... Ah ..." Cinta was mad but she hurriedly changed her clothes. Denim jeans and a plain white t-shirt that form the body of Cinta. Not forgetting the brown cardigan she also holds. And rushed out of her house after taking her bag.

In front of her house a man who was about forty years old bowed respectfully.

"Sorry, Ms. Cinta?" asked the father politely.

"Yes sir, I'm Cinta."

"Come on, miss, Mr. Bian has been waiting for you." The man opened the car door for Cinta, and awkwardly, Cinta got into the car. Several times she saw the Bian driver but they did not speak anything other than Cinta who felt ridiculous herself for following all the wishes of her boss.

What the heck, why did she want to try before being told to. Soon the car entered a tall building and Cinta knew ther was an apartment. Cinta got out of the car and Bian's driver took her to Bian's unit which was on the thirty floor.

When she was at the door of one of the units, Cinta was left alone. Before she shouted for the Bian driver, the cell phone in her bag rang.

"Shello".

"Remember the code, and enter when the door is open. Stephen Jayker." Cinta punched the code and the door opened. Cinta enters with an annoyed face looking for where Bian is.

Suddenly the Bian chair appeared from the room with a sweet smile. But Cinta doesn't care, why is ther boss so annoyed him.

"Why did you ask me to accompany you to watch? And what is ther? Watching it in the cinema." The thought of Cinta must be that Bian is a pervert for taking her to ther man's apartment.

The sound of someone's laughter makes Cinta turn to the source of the voice. There were two men and one woman.

"Hahahhahaha ... Hi Cinta? You're really funny when you get angry." Cinta opened her mouth because she saw the handsome man who used to appear on television. She had met Brian three times because of her dealings with Bian. Even though Brian also works at the company, she has never met in person other than because of meeting matters.

"Just see. Come on, sit down, let's get the Movie Momrathon." Bian invited Cinta to sit on the sofa where Brian was there, Bella is a man who Cinta doesn't know her name. Cinta already knows Brian, and Bella but the other one he doesn't know.

"She's my fiancé, her name is Revan." Bella's voice made Cinta understand and smile, they shook hands for a while and Cinta chose to sit on the sofa chair which was so soft like a place to sleep. In front of him there are lots of snacks, pop corn, and even two buckets of KFC.

When the film starts, it turns out that they will be watching an old film called Freinds with benefit. Throughout the film, Cinta looks seriously watching, while Brian, who is the most nosy with a loud laugh, makes Bian annoyed and throws a pop of corn at Brian. Bian took a seat next to Cinta in her wheelchair. Cinta saw Bian who was watching the television in front of them, Cinta made a little smile watching Bian's happy face at ther time.

Bian did look even more handsome at ther close. In Cinta's heart she asked, how ther man lived her life in a wheelchair like ther.

Bian, who felt cared for all ther time, turned to Cinta, made Cinta nervous and looked away.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Poor?" Bian asked annoying Cinta, because Bian always thought about things one-sidedly. Then Cinta looked at Bella who stood up from her seat followed by Revan. Bella's face looked worried.

"Sorry Bian, I have to go back to the hospital. I was just told that there is a patient who needs surgery tonight." Revan and Bella came out of the apartment to make the three people a little surprised by Bella's panic. And Cinta begins to know that Bella is a doctor.

"If that's the case, I'll also go back to the studio, Bian. You guys just enjoy the film together." Brian said goodbye to Bian and also Cinta. Cinta felt bad to be alone with Bian and she took the initiative to also return to her home.

"Sir, I will excuse myself going home then." Cinta stood up but Bian took the remote door to her apartment and Cinta heard it as clear as the sound of a locked door.

What does ther mean, thought Cinta.

"You accompany me until ther film ends. After that you can go home." Cinta was still standing like a statue digesting the words of Bian's orders, and she finally decided to sit in her place earlier.

Occasionally they laugh together when they see the funny scenes of the film, and all of that makes Bian even more fascinated with Cinta. The laughter of Cinta really made her mood better.

"Cinta," called Bian to Cinta, who seemed to be still focused on the film they saw.

"Hm," replied Cinta without turning around. While Bian still stared from beside the sweet face of Cinta.

"What is the thing you want the most in your life." Cinta immediately turned to see Bian who also saw him.

"Why do you ask me like that?" asked Cinta at last and Bian smiled sweetly and then straightened her body which felt stiff since he asked earlier.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted the same thing with the woman character." Cinta laughed and Bian could only smile happily at that.

"All women in ther world would want a beautiful love story."

"Including you?" Bian asked quickly and Cinta nodded. Why would he lie about something like ther. But Bian's happy gaze slowly faded into a radiance of sadness. His mind is that he cannot grant Cinta's wish. And he knew it best to stop her feelings here. Men don't seem to deserve a perfect woman like Cinta.

"Cinta, you delivered home by my driver. The film is also over, right?" Bian's face was flat, but Cinta didn't notice it.

"I'll just take the bus sir."

"No, you better be escorted. It's already late. And I do not accept objections from you." Cinta shook her head at the very bossy Bian.

"Cinta, tomorrow I have a job abroad. So you don't have to cook for me." Cinta nodded and she left the apartment. Cinta smiled at Bian and said good night. But Bian did not smile like what Cinta had seen.

"Mr. Bian, if you smile sincerely, you are handsome."
