Draw Attention

The two of them finally left the restaurant. Tito started the conversation first.

"Za, sorry about earlier. Thank you for accompanying me on Valentine's Day." Tito said with his face looking very happy.

"Hmm." Fildza answered briefly.

"You want to go straight home? You bought a car, right? '' Tito asked again.

"Yes, I bought a car. You too, right. So, let's separate here." Fildza replied again.

"Oh, I happened to not bring my car. Maybe later I'll just take the bus," said Tito.

Fildza didn't have the heart to let Tito go home by bus, so she finally took the initiative to take Tito home because their houses happened to be in the same direction.

"Come on, let's deliver. The house is still the old one, right?." Fildza asked while confirming where Tito lived.

"Of course. You don't mind taking me?" Tito asked again.

"No. After all, we are in the same direction." Said Fildza again as she walked towards the basement where she parked her car.

"Okay." Tito answered happily.

Then Tito went to follow Fildza. During the trip, they did not talk to each other at all. The atmosphere at that time was very quiet. Fildza focused on driving and looking at the road, while Tito continued to pay attention to Fildza. Arriving at Tito's house, Tito asked one thing that made Fildza's feelings shake again.

"Za, can I hug you just once?" said Tito while looking at Fildza

Fildza was taken aback by Tito's words and froze for a moment. Mixed feelings into one. Like a big bell that rang near Fildza so it sounded very loud in her ears.

Most of the time according to most people, Valentine's Day is a day where a pair of humans convey their affection to their respective partners. whether it's a married couple or lovers who are in love. Valentine's Day itself is sometimes made by some people to find a mate by conveying feelings to someone they love. But for Fildza, Valentine's Day is a bad memory created by Tito for herself. For years, Fildza had felt locked in her heart so she was reluctant to have a relationship with anyone again because she felt that Tito had made her close her heart so tightly that no one could open it except Tito.

Hearing Tito's statement asking for permission to hug him, made Fildza's heart skip a beat. No matter how much Fildza hates Tito, Tito can still open the door to her heart. After Fildza thought for a moment, she also refused the request because her ego was very high at that time. After being rejected by Fildza, Tito was silent. Then, he apologized for his behavior while in the cinema. Fildza just nodded her head and then left Tito just like that. Tito seemed to watch Fildza leave, it was very clear from Fildza's car's rear view mirror.

After Fildza arrived home, her mother and father were not at home and left a letter on the dining table. Her mother said that they had gone out of town for a few days because they had to visit her grandmother who was very ill. Her mother had also prepared some side dishes in the refrigerator which she just had to heat if Fildza wanted to eat them. Fildza just sighed and then entered her room.

"Today was tiring. I didn't expect to see Tito again. Why did he suddenly appear? My feelings are quite shaken today. What does he want? I almost forgot about him. When I wanted him, he just left. but now what? he suddenly appeared like a late-night hero. I hope he doesn't appear in front of me again. I have to sleep now because tomorrow there is an important meeting with the directors. " said Fildza, who was talking to herself in her room.

The next day, as usual, Fildza woke up early and started drinking milk and also eating a piece of bread that she had baked earlier. After that, he rushed to the office and attended the board of directors meeting.

It turns out that my office today has a new board of directors. and what surprised me was that he was one of the children of the retired board of directors. A handsome man with an athletic body and a face that is enough to make women's hearts thrash. His appearance is enough to impress everyone with a blue suit and black tie that is not too big like a K-pop idol who wants to have a fan meeting. But my heart didn't tremble in the slightest. At that time I was assigned to accompany the man to tour the office and introduce him to several division heads and also show the rooms of each section head.

I, who at that time was explaining a few things to him, instantly distracted me with his behavior. He just daydreamed watching me talking. I don't know what's in his head. I tried to wave my hand in front of his face until he suddenly woke up from his daydream.

"Sir, sir, hello sir, can you understand my explanation?" said Fildza, waving her hand in front of the man.

"Ah yes, did I just daydream?" replied the man.

"Yes, you were just daydreaming. Are you not feeling well, sir?" Fildza asked politely.

"I'm fine. It's just that you look so beautiful." Said the man teasingly.

"Ah, you can praise me. Can we continue the discussion, sir?" asked Fildza again.

"Oh sorry, okay," said the man again.

Then they continued the conversation that had stopped between them until it was time for lunch. Fildza and her co-workers decided to eat at a fast-food place not far from her office. Shortly after they finished eating, Fildza passed in the elevator to the new board of directors. The board of directors was named Stefan.

"Argh! It's him again, I'm starting to feel sick of him. I just met him, didn't he think before he spoke to me like that? " Fildza said grumbling in her heart while smiling at stevan.

"Afternoon sir," said Fildza in a friendly manner.

"Afternoon Mrs. Fildza." Replied stevan

After greeting, Fildza immediately turned her face away from stevan and looked straight ahead. Then Stefan reprimanded Fildza again.

"Have you had lunch, Mrs. Fildza?" asked Stefan

"Oh already. Together with Rina, sir." Fildza answered friendly

"I just want to take lunch outside," said Stefan.

"I'll go first, sir," Fildza answered with a smile and got out of the elevator first.
