The Love of the CEO of the Fridge
Getting Sick First, Suffering Later

“Nak Tama, this is really the gift of a car?” asked Mr. Surya who was still gawking at the black car that was taken down from the truck. Tama nodded, and smiled with satisfaction because the car he bought was quickly delivered. Cindy's boyfriend was busy shaking hands to steer the car to the right location.

“Cin, this Tama is giving birthday gifts or door prizes anyway? Rich very,” whispered Susi without taking her eyes off the black car that is now parked in front of Cindy's house. Tama's boyfriend did not answer Susi's question because he was still shocked by the new great gift.

“Happy birthday, Om.” Tama smiled very widely. He was satisfied because he could return the favor of Mr. Surya who celebrated his birthday some time ago.

Mr. Surya then approached and whispered, “Nak Tama, Nak Tama's gift of fortune. Om can't accept..” Mr. Surya stopped talking as he saw Tama's smile gradually turning into gloom.

“Waduh, Nak Tama, give me a gift. Love your home,” joked Mr. Timo while chuckling when he saw the face of Mr. Surya who was pale.

“Om likes home? Later tomorrow I...” Pak Surya directly shut Tama's mouth with his hand.

“Don't listen to the words of that demon slave. Listen to Om. I don't feel good about receiving such an expensive gift. Om Timo who has been a friend of Om for years, just give a gift of a discount towel.” Mr. Surya explained nervously, while occasionally staring intently at Mr. Timo who was smiling sweetly.

“I'm sincere and happy to love him, Om. Besides, the one who is grateful is also not someone else. My girlfriend's son Om.” Tama's explanation still can't convince Mr. Surya, but Cindy's father begins to sympathize with Tama's sad face.

Not that they do not want to appreciate the gift, but what is normal to give a car like this easily?

Finally, Tama's persistence bore fruit. Mr. Surya has surrendered. Tama gave the keys of the car happily while Timo invited everyone to take photos.

The clock shows at 7am, but Cindy has to get up to receive a phone call. The name of the caller listed on the screen is “Sayang”.

“Tama? Tumben he called this early in the morning?” Cindy then takes Tama's call. During this time, they only met on weekends, because both were busy on weekdays. Even so, Tama never bothered Cindy this early on Sunday.

“Ya, Cash?” ask Cindy while rubbing her eyes.

“Cin, I need you. Come to my apartment now, yeah. Later I send location.” The call was closed. Tama's voice sounded hoarse and desperate.

Cindy immediately checked the location that Tama had sent, and prepared to leave worriedly. During the trip, he prayed that the refrigerator would be fine.

“Good day. I'm Cindy. Is this Tama's apartment?” cindy asked as a man in neat clothes greeted her at the door.

“True, Mom. Mr. Tama has ordered that his beautiful girlfriend named Cindy will come. Please come in, Mom. Mr. Tama is already waiting inside,” replied the man calmly. His hand allowed Cindy to enter.

Cindy pulled the man's hand to ask him something important, “Pak Tama said her beautiful boyfriend? You didn't hear wrong?” The man who was shocked at being pulled, nodded nervously. Cindy wondered, was the refrigerator drunk to the point of saying such words?

In Tama's room, there was another man talking to Tama on the bed. Stethoscope around the man's neck. Cindy assumed that she was a doctor.

Upon seeing Cindy, the man stopped talking, and smiled. She asked Cindy to talk outside the room for a while.

“Pak, what is Tama dying?” Cindy asked while holding back a cry. The doctor shook his head at the question, and tried to calm Cindy down.

“Tama is just a fever, but it is a bit more painful.” The doctor's answer shocked Cindy. Just this time there was a doctor who talked about the ugliness of his patients. The doctor chuckled at Cindy's reaction.

“I've been a Tama doctor since she was a teenager. If he's sick, it's like the world wants to end. Last phone call, if I didn't know him, would have thought he was almost dead.” Cindy recalled Tama's phone call earlier, and nodded in agreement.

“You take good care of Tama, yes. He did look cold on the outside, but his heart was kind. You also have to be a lot patient with his spoiled behavior when sick, yes. I've experienced, and it feels very disturbing.” The doctor said in a joking manner. They both laughed, but then came to a halt due to Tama's call.

“Doctor, Heater, please..” Tama called out in a weak voice. The doctor frowned upon hearing “heater”'s call, but ignored it.

“Finally, I no longer need to take care of that spoiled guy. It's time for you to work, son.” The doctor signaled the man who had greeted Cindy at the door, and they prepared to leave.

“Loh, why go? You don't work here?” ask Cindy wonder. He thought that the man was Tama's assistant. The man shook his head.

The doctor who saw Cindy's confusion immediately explained, “This is my assistant. Tama just lives alone. He doesn't like anyone else to accompany him. You're the first, Cin.” The doctor smiled and left.

Inside the room, pale-faced Tama, was leaning on the head of the bed and said weakly, “Please, Heat, my head hurts a lot.” Tama then reached out her hand, as if asking to be hugged.

As a child, Tama had done the same thing to Bu Riyanti, but her mother refused, because Tama should not be whiny. You have to grow strong.

Therefore, Tama was shocked when her hug request was welcomed by Cindy. Her little boyfriend patted her on the back gently.

“Don't be afraid, Cindy's darling. I was right here. You are not alone.” Unknowingly, tears welled up in Tama's eyes. Cindy's boyfriend nodded in gratitude. It seems like this is what it feels like to be loved when sick.

“I might die, Heat. My head is about to break. Throat hurts a lot. The room is also at the north pole. I'm sorry, if there's something wrong with life."

Cindy recalls the doctor's warning, and agrees that Tama is spoiled like a child if sick.

Tama suddenly lifted her head from Cindy's shoulder. Their faces were close together, and the longer, the distance was getting thinner. Cindy who regained her senses, immediately broke free from Tama's embrace.

“I can't kiss before I die?” tanya Tama sulked.

“First, you will not die. Second, we have not yet reached the kissing stage,” explains Cindy with a face as red as a boiled crab.

Tama nodded obediently. “But, if it's just a hug, it can, right?” The refrigerator spread its hands wide. Cindy immediately saw the puzzle on the room table and pulled out the 16th card from the bag.

“I want us to play a puzzle,okay?” ask Cindy.

Tama's face immediately pouted. “I'm dead, Heat. I want to be hugged, not play Puzzle.”

Cindy actually doesn't mind hugging Tama, but she has to regulate her heart rate.

Now, they both sit on the bed and surround the puzzle Cindy saw earlier.

Puzzles are a bad choice. There wasn't much free space left, so it was over quickly. Cindy pretended to think for longer, but Tama had already hurriedly finished with her own hands.

“Now, hug.” The refrigerator hugged Cindy from behind and leaned her chin on Cindy's shoulder.

Suddenly, Cindy's phone notification distracts the woman. Cindy took the phone, and saw a notification that made Tama upset. The fridge then took the phone from Cindy, and hid it.

What is a notification? Guess what in the comments
