The days after the teasing incident had been so bothering for Yosef. He doesn’t know why, but the memories of his close encounter with Mari seems to keep on repeating on his mind. And that woke up his curiousity towards Mari.
One morning, when both of them arrived early again, he tried to open up a conversation with her while waiting for the office to be opened. “You know how to sing right?!”, he asked.
Surprised on the question, Mari answered back by asking, “Who told you, sir?!”.
“Si Roger!”, he said, referring to the IT staff that’s close to Mari.
“Ah, Ok.. Not really! Hehe..”, she humbly said.
“Do you have a band?!”, he asked again.
“Nope! I do solo..hehe.. I usually sing on weddings only.”, she said without any discomfort, knowing that she was talking to Yosef. Now, she’s wondering where the hell did her guts, to talk to Yosef like that, came from.
“Oh, I see.. So, if you’re getting married, would you still sing on your wedding?! Haha!”, he asked sarcastically.
“hah! That’s the question that I can’t answer as of the moment, sir!”, she answered with a little laugh. She can’t believe he could ask a stupid question like that!
Then, silence followed. As neither of them dared to open up any topic, Yosef took the time to steal a glimpse on Mari. “Her lips are not red..hmm..but her eyes, it smiles when she laughs! Her skin is nicely tanned and her hair is the best asset she had”, he secretly thought.
And that was the first and the last encounter that they had during the day.
The following day, everyone was so busy because all was beating a deadline, including the trainees. Yosef was called to go to their big boss’ office because he had to explain something. After clarifying everything with his boss, he immediately went out from the little office. As he opened the door, he was surprised as a tall lady in white skirt passed by in front of him. At first, he wasn’t able to identify who that girl was. And by instinct, his eyes followed the lady. It was only then, he realized that the lady in white skirt was Mari. He was surprised and amazed with what he saw. He never thought that Mari could be so gorgeous in skirt! Fragile, demure but confident! That was how he could describe Mari. And that really turned him on.
From that point on, he realized that there is something that’s interesting in Mari. Something interesting that’s worthy to be discovered. However, a part of him wants to hold back. And that is his feeling for Rhianne. Now, he’s starting to doubt if he’ll still fight for that feeling or just let it slip away and find another girl. He thought thoroughly about it. It took him days to discern about that. And he is about to make a decision, a decision that would last a lifetime.
