THE HAPPY BEGINNING TALE

There is nothing more interesting than seeing the mood of his boss who looks like a runny kid in love. Oh, or is that what it is? That's what James thought at this moment.

Inside his office, Felix swiveled around the office chair which he sat on several times while whistling. All the work he has done, without any hindrance. Ah, looks like he has to share his happiness with his friends. Felix immediately contacted his friends with a group message on a messaging application and his friends responded immediately.

FELIX: How long has it been since we meet?

ARTHUR: Seriously?

DENNIS: I feel like we are your 'no-place' to go now. Please don't say if that's what you mean.

FELIX: HAHA. Come on, why do you think like that, Dennis?

EDRIC: Please hurry and tell me what's wrong, Jullian. I'm really busy right now.

ARTHUR: Are you still with the red one, Ed?

DENNIS: Oh my God, forgive ed's sins.

EDRIC: Shut Up.

FELIX: We have to meet. Can't go this way. Where's Justin?

ARTHUR: Very busy. It was so hard to contact that cold man.

JUSTIN: Make your final wish before I finish you, art.

FELIX: HAHA. The point is, hurry to my office now. I am waiting.

Felix closed his messaging app, turned off his cell phone, and placed it on the table. Well, he just had to wait for his friends to come and tell him his happy story. Correction. The story of the beginning of his happiness. Oh, my God Felix kept smiling to himself thinking about it.

Roxanne just hopes that no one will notice the way she walks that almost resembles a penguin. Come on, her body really feels so crushed. It's lucky Felix didn't notice. Or maybe, the man was aware of it, but he was covering up the truth. Roxanne covers her face with her hands. She was really embarrassed.

The TV program she was watching was no longer attractive to Roxanne. she stared ahead, but her soul couldn't focus where she was looking. In fact, she wouldn't even be aware of her mother's existence, if only her mother didn't make a sound.

"So?"

Roxanne gasped, causing Agathe to furrow her brows in confusion.

"Is mom bothering you, Honey?"

"Ah, no, Mom. Did you say something earlier?" Roxanne asked before changing her sitting position sideways — facing Agathe.

"So, have you two prepared anything? At least, discussing it?" Agathe repeated her question.

"Preparing? What do you mean?" Roxanne looked confused.

"Jeez. Of course your marriage. What's more? Didn't Felix tell you himself if he wanted to do this wedding right away?" Agathe chatted, "Besides, I'm sure you already did that." Agathe's mischievous smile was etched on her face.

At first, Roxanne was just listening silently, thinking about the answer she would say to her mother. But, when her mother talked about it, Roxanne was surprised why her mother could say so vulgar. And yes! according to the facts. Oh, God.

"Mooommm!" Roxanne exclaimed — immediately leaving her mother in front of her, holding back her embarrassment.

Agathe chuckled at Roxanne's obvious response. Even Roxanne's face was very visible before she ran away from her, somewhere.

"Mom, what's wrong with Roxanne?" asked Victorina to Agathe. "She just ran, even the way she ran looked very strange." Then, she laughed.

"Oh, you realized that too, right?"

Victorina fell silent. "What, mom?" then, she immediately realized what Agathe meant, closed her gaping mouth, and laughed with her mother.

"WHAT THE F * CK!"

"SHIT, MAN!"

That was the response of his friends - except for Justin, the cold man - after one second Felix finished telling what happened last night.

"Your little lion can't be tamed. It's a good thing you're not Edric." Said Justin.

"Hey, don't carry me around. Of course we're different." Edric did not accept Justin's words.

"Jeez. I thought you gave her alcohol until she asked you to do it like that," chuckled Arthur, still in disbelief at what Felix was saying.

"What? I'm not that crazy. You think I'm Edric." Felix's words did not accept Arthur's joke. Edric looked back.

"I told you not to bring me up." annoyed Edric, who again no one responded.

"Wait. Did you do it in safety?"

This time, all eyes were on Dennis who suddenly made a sound after only laughing when Felix was telling the story, which actually annoyed Felix a little.

There was silence, all eyes then fell on Felix as if they were waiting for his answer. And at that moment, a single word from Felix made their eyes perfectly rounded, Arthur and Dennis mouths gaping wide, Edric dropped his vodka glass, and Justin choked on his own drink.

"No."

Come on, anyone who hears Felix's tone is bound to do the same as his friends. He sounded so steady, firm, and straightforward. As if he was not afraid of what would happen in the future.

"After all, soon we'll be married." Felix continued calmly, increasingly making his friends shake their heads with Felix's attitude that is already like a bastard who impregnates women before they get married.

"You're totally insane." Said Edric.

"You just realized? Ever since he got to know Roxanne, he has been going crazy. Please, don't forget the time he was so drunk." Said Arthur.

"Oh, I almost forgot that, Art. Thanks for reminding me. Really, I owe you all a debt of gratitude." chuckled Felix, making his friends look annoyed at Felix.

"You know, Felix, I find it too easy. Especially for her." said Justin. Felix turned to him.

"What do you mean, Justin?" asked Felix.

Justin straightened himself. "This is all too easy for her. You are the one who pursues her so hard, she who receives all your sincere attention, and such."

"Ah, I just realized that too." Said Arthur suddenly.

"Yes, me too." Dennis also agreed.

"This life is already troublesome to every human being. If there is something that can be passed so easily, why not?" Felix shrugged his shoulders, in contrast to his mind suddenly wondering what Justin meant.

"Ah, come on, Felix. Are you sure? Marriage is not the end of all your struggles. It is the beginning of a struggle with her. You should go through hardships first so that later you can solve your domestic problems later." It was clear that Dennis had suddenly become a wise man among the others.

Felix took a deep breath. "But, Roxanne has trusted me. She loves me. I've also passed my 'gray-zone' by Roxanne. What else do I want?"

"You have to give her a test." Justin replied.

"Wow. I never thought Justin was the expert here." Edric chuckled.

"Shut up, Ed. You're not helping at all." Arthur hit Edric's arm.

"What test do you mean?" asked Felix.

"Stay away from her."

"Make her understand how hard you try when you want her love. Make her understand where you are. Make her go crazy when you're not there." Justin said it without blinking, his face looked so serious that Felix was silent for a long time.

"Wow! Welcome!" exclaimed Joanna as soon as she saw Agathe, Roxanne, Victorina, and Jeanette. The women hugged each other then sat on an available sofa.

"This is the second time you have come here together. I have to prioritize you. What's more," Joanna glanced at Roxanne, "there is a future daughter-in-law here too." The women laughed, no doubt making Roxanne shyly laugh too.

Suddenly, Roxanne's cell phone rings. Roxanne looked at the name of the caller on her cellphone screen and smiled. Roxanne cleared her throat, cutting Agathe and Joanna's conversation off.

"Moms, excuse me for a moment." Roxanne excused herself then moved away from her place. Without even asking permission they would have allowed it because they clearly knew who the caller was – seeing from Roxanne's very obvious gestures.

Roxanne clears her throat, neutralizing her voice to make it look casual. "Hello?"

"Roxy,"

"What is wrong?" Roxanne asked in her flat tone.

"I know you're smiling right now. Don't be so cold. Do I have to keep reminding you of -"

"SHUT UP! Yes, yes. Whatever. What did you call me for, Felix?"

"Mmm, actually, nothing important. Ah, no. It's urgent." The words Felix utter make Roxanne even more impatient.

"Just say it quickly, oh my."

Felix chuckled. "Since last night you have become very impatient." The temptation, It was enough to make Roxanne embarrassed by her cheeks that were already red. Oh, lucky the devil isn't here right now.

Roxanne is still trying to neutralize her own heartbeat, but it doesn't work because the next sentence Felix says makes her want to scream as loud as possible.

"I miss you, Honey."

Roxanne laughed - in contrast to her heart that felt like jumping from her place.

"Why do you laugh? This isn't the response I expected." Roxanne knows Felix is ​​upset. Then, she stopped laughing and sighed.

"Very well, Mr. Jullian. I miss you too." Roxanne said before biting her lower lip. "I know you're at work, Felix. Just get the job done. Think this is as your energy?" Roxanne chuckled - remembering the term energy that Felix once said.

Felix laughed. "You know me so well." he said. "But, actually my real energy is your kiss. How about this?" whined Felix spoiledly.

"Felix." Roxanne, in a warning tone, returns to her voice and makes Felix laugh again.

"Very well, madame. I will finish my work. Bye, Honey. I love you."
