Naughty December (english version)

7. Initials Y

     Jee's strength is weak when he sits on the sofa at his house. While enjoying Jazz music and Jee taking off his tie, he heard footsteps echoing from behind and Jee followed the sound well. But Jee didn't want to know who was trying to get close, because tiredness still haunted the thought of failing to find Yoanna in Berlin.

     "Jee you're back, huh?"

     Jee's ears caught Aloysia's voice, and the woman wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed Jee on the cheek in turn. This was a real test of patience, disgust was starting to run through Jee's body, but it was hard to let go. Jee let go of Aloysia's hands from her neck, and pulled Aloysia's beautiful body forward and perched on Jee's lap.

     “What kind of warning do you want to understand, Bruna?” Aloysia's sturdy chin became Jee's touching point.

     Aloysia hugged and pressed her soft lips to the side of Jee's face, exploring the jaw that had just been trimmed. Not only that, Aloysia began to unbutton Jee's shirt one by one, then stroked his strong arms up to his chest, making Jee's mind start to be stained. Aloysia's long fingers slowly entered Jee's stomach and in the direction he was headed, Aloysia caught the powerful organ in one grasp and then the beautiful woman bent down to unhook Jee's pants with ease.

     The image of Yoanna's face could not drown the heart, but the reaction of the brain and body muscles stretched as Jee digested Aloysia's mischievous gaze within ten centimeters. The tickle summed up the desire, but Jee lunged at Aloysia's waist into his thighs again, his rough hands brushing the strands of hair that covered Aloysia's blue eyes. A disdainful smile was etched on the curve of Jee's face even though Jee actually wanted a touch more from her.

     "You are smart and sexy," Jee's eyes met Aloysia's. "So just use your wits and perfectionism to guide other persuasions. Like... find another man, for example!"

     Aloysia's brain still refused to compose Jee's words. Because Jee's handsome face had made her greedy, of course Aloysia wouldn't let him go that easily. Aloysia's hand again delivers poison and ecstasy to Jee's brain. They both now stick their tongues against each other by picking up rows of teeth. Exchange of taste and passion in saliva.

     "But I want to be a stupid woman to be by your side, Jee. For today and tomorrow you can refuse! But the day after tomorrow no one knows, you might fall at my feet." Aloysia replied with a sly smile.

     Jee was too lazy to shoulder the commitment in front of Aloysia. He got up to let go of Aloysia's body and his eyes rolled around the main Penthouse room, then Jee looked away without responding to Aloysia's face.

     "I should really feel sorry for you, but my mind and heart are so messed up that this love grows and grows." Aloysia stopped Jee's steps, feeling belittled by the man's attitude.

     "Can you tell me the reason why you should pity me?"

     Not an answer anymore, but Jee felt Aloysia's breath touch his neck and the side of his face. But once again, Jee refused the seduction and pushed Aloysia's body.

     "There are more interesting things to do! Don't be late for tomorrow morning!" Jee's towering body only left a cruel scent in Aloysia's heart.

     Aloysia catches the vase on the table and throws it at Jee, but Aloysia's emotions break the balance and the glass only hits the side of the fireplace. "Tomorrow I will come on time because you will bow down at my feet!"

     Jee's hand waved without turning as he took the elevator to his room. For Jee, rejecting Aloysia's figure was stupid and it was hard to avoid a reaction. But the name on the lantern is more of a chase after Jee's wish to meet and repeat one crazy night on the chilly slopes of the Eiger.

[...]

     The spirit of the morning designs all the expectations of the residents of JE'O Picture. Lucky is no exception, who feels restless because he is waiting for the arrival of the model from Indonesia. He has made several calls, but the voicemail makes Lucky's anger burn even more.

     About twenty meters from the lobby, two women ran, carrying bags and folders from the company gates. Lucky put his hands on his hips and shook his head in disbelief because the person Dimas chose was unprofessional at the time.

     "Sorry, sir," Thalita gasped and brushed her hair in the wind. "We're only fifteen minutes late, right?"

     Lucky snorted, "Fifteen minutes in the cinema you left an important scene and ruined the movie you were watching!"

     "Yes, that's right, but we have tried it, sir, and Mr. Dimas suddenly said we were told to come here today." Thalita protested in self-defense.

     "What time did Mr. Dimas call you? If only the boss came here and saw if you were late, you could be slashed!" Lucky admitted that he still didn't accept it because Thalita denied it.

     "I'm not a pig, sir, but I'd be willing to be tortured in the same place as Jamie." Thalita's lips started to go crazy.

     Lucky corrected some messages on his cellphone and was too lazy to respond to Thalita's words. Then he turned around and almost fainted when he saw Yoanna's face.

     "What's the matter, sir?" asked Thalita, looking at Yoanna's face and secretly feeling 'why?'. In his heart, Lucky couldn't believe he had met the woman Jee was after. But this is great luck for the company and will attract Jee to sign a contract to renew their partnership.

     "Sir, are you all right?" twice Thalita made sure.

     "O--h," Lucky nervously. "No, it's fine. It's... Who?" Then Yoanna smiled and held out her hand.

     "I'm Yoanna Marcella, sir."

     Right now, Lucky saw beautiful hope in the clouds of his best friend. Finally, happy news came because what Jee had been looking for six years ended in a trivial way. What's more, Jee will do everything he can to get Yoanna to work for JE'O company.

     "Sir?" Yoanna tried to wake up Lucky's daydream. "Are you unwell?"

     "O--h," Lucky seemed stunned. "Y--yes, Lucky Hakim. Uh--uh no, introduce me Lucky Pratama."

     "Yes, I already know sir! I am a friend of Thalita." Yoanna repeated her identity.

     "Oh yeah, who's the photographer?" Lucky laughed. He didn't understand his attitude.

     They didn't talk for long and, indeed Lucky rushed to his room and made an excuse. He steps away from Yoanna and Thalita, to give Jee the news via a phone call. One or two calls, Lucky, went unanswered until he heard a woman's voice sigh in the voice mail.

     "Jee, are you busy? Call me or you can come straight to the office!" Lucky's breathing started to become erratic. "There is a special surprise in your life, you will regret it if you miss this day."

     Lucky immediately ended the call and then he returned to meet Yoanna and Thalita in the studio room. Because JE'O doesn't have full rights over Yoanna and Thalita, whether he wants it or not, he chaired a small meeting this morning. Moreover, at the same time, the company JE'O Picture held an official contest event.

     at a talent show for professional photographers. Another case is in place of car rental services in Berlin. What he had just been looking for disappeared without a trace because Jee failed to find Yoanna's place again. The number plate is not enough, because two days ago the car returned and Yoanna's identity card was no longer at the rental place.

     The heat of the sun stung Jee's head. It was enough for Jee to do what shouldn't be on today's to-do list. Then Jee started activating the phone and received a voicemail from Lucky.

     Upon hearing, Jee threw the smartphone into the back seat of the car. With a heavy heart, Jee decided to return to Hamburg without any new hope. It's all for naught and Jee deserves to live a more useful life apart from photographing Yoanna. Until year after year, Jee languished in a beautiful night dream on the slopes of Mount Eiger.

     The 289 kilometers distance from Berlin to Hamburg is a short drive to JE'O headquarters. Jee slams the car door and throws the keys at his men.

     "Make sure no one interrupts me!" Jee wanted to be more relaxed.

     "But Mr. Lucky keeps calling me, he says there's something very important and you have to go to the office now!" replied Jee's personal assistant.

     Nothing is more important than enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the day. The massage service was already hanging on the mind, but hearing about the office problem, Jee was immediately frustrated.

     "If Lucky calls, let me know I have a lot of business today! And don't bother! I want to calm down for a bit!" Jee's rule can't be disputed by anyone.

     "But... There's an important event at JE'O, you have an important guest and... That lady."

     Jee stopped walking. He turned to the man with the nickname Rd. "The woman? Which woman?"

     "Of course the owner of the lantern, sir!" Rd explained.

     Nonsense! Jee just walked away and smiled smugly because he was sure it was absolutely impossible. But wait! On the stairs from the apartment parking lot to his room, Jee thought about the festival in Berlin and the contest. All have a relationship. Yes, of course, Jee remembers that the initial Y is a photographer. It is possible and will be a huge task for Jee to present this shoulder-length beauty at JE'O.

     Like a fool, Jee snatched the key again and forgot about today's leisurely schedule. JE'O became one of Jee's choices to carry out his next important activity. Although Jee knew that all of this had not been confirmed, for him there would not be a single chance he would miss again. But if things go wrong, Jee is getting used to failure.

     The tiredness didn't gone away until Jee has to make another trip to his office, which is about 15 kilometers from the apartment. The speed of the car is also infinite because the company's annual contest has been running for about 2 hours. The image of that beautiful face lingered in Jee's mind until the car was perched on the wet and cold floor of the parking lot.

     Instead of wasting time, Jee quickly ran to the place where the contest was taking place. Jee was daydreaming about Y's initials in the elevator all the way down the company corridor to a special room. Because the turmoil did not control his thoughts, Jee ended up like a stray dog that burst into the room. Everyone was surprised by Jee's sudden appearance, especially when he looked disheveled, wearing a black sweater and jeans with holes in his knees. Not the usual elegant and dignified appearance of Jamie.

     "Jee!"

     Shouted Lucky, and as he approached, the man grabbed Jee's arm. "What's the matter with you, man? Lust should not be brought into the workplace! Look, this is the office! Respect yourself as the owner of the company!" Lucky looks very annoyed when he sees Jee's appearance.

     "Where is she?" Jee can't wait.

     "Who?"

     "The girl," Jee kept looking around the room. "Where is she?"

     Being stupid for six years wasn't enough because Jee was still crazy when he searched for the letter Y among the guest chairs. From the first row to the third row of guests and prospective seats, Jee still couldn't find Yoanna's whereabouts. But giving up wasn't a situation that Jee had to choose, but in the last row of seats his efforts were in vain, people's gazes being ignored.

     Jee's hand was on his head and he ruffled his hair. Jee bent down to watch every useless sweat dripping onto the floor. He felt cheated by hope of failing to find Yoanna for the umpteenth time. What an agonizing day. Jee chose to stand and stare at the blue carpet floor until he remembered that he had been a slave to the past.

     From the direction of the door of another room that directly penetrated the special contest hall, Yoanna came out to do her work. She felt nervous when she was in front of high-class guests and candidates. Yoanna's hands were shaking and holding the loudspeaker when she was about to give a little speech.

     "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! Introducing, I'm participant number 30. My name is Yoanna Marcella, 26 years old from Indonesia." said Yoanna at the opening of her speech.

     "I don't have much experience compared to my seniors. Especially for Mr. Arnold, I am very motivated by his work. The result of hard work and, indeed he is a…"

     Yoanna's throat tightened. The words that had been summed up in his head disappeared when Yoanna found that gaze right in front of her, about 10 meters away.

     Two pairs of eyes met each other in the familiar feeling of the past. Jee and Yoanna realized to each other that this wasn't a dream, but their gazes started to turn black because they remembered the night 6 years ago. One side was starting to feel bored even though it had been a long time. On the other hand, his irises were sparkling as hope turned into ambition. They were still pouring in disbelief until Jee and Yoanna realized that the loudspeaker in their hands had fallen.

     Not wanting to spoil the atmosphere, Yoanna took back the speaker that had fallen, even though Yoanna really wanted to get out of there. Yoanna was nervous and all her limbs were shaking, but she tried to be professional even though Jee continued to hug her with a look full of other intentions.

     Yoanna said word by word again, giving the definition of the object that was shot, even though her feelings suddenly thought of Shaila. Whether this situation really locked her mind, Yoanna turned scared because she started to imagine if Jee would find Shaila. Honestly, Yoanna felt that time had changed all the sense of calm when she found that gaze, in a different place in the city of Hamburg.
