Dizziness filled Arjuna. He rubbed his forehead as he stared at the computer in front of him. Even though the clock was showing it was time to go home, Arjuna had no intention of returning. He was still busy with the proposal he wanted to send to Leo. Arjuna feels that this proposal will determine whether he can help Aini or not. If he failed, it would be as if he were just playing for the girl. In that dizzy spell, he kept typing and deleting it again and again, the cellphone he left beside him beeped and lit up, showing a notification from someone he never expected. Lia's name is listed there, she uses a caps lock in her message plus an exclamation point. At first, he was going to silence the message, but when Aini's name appeared in the message, Arjuna immediately finished all his work and left his office. It took quite a long time for Arjuna to arrive at the place promised by Lia. Even when he arrived, Arjuna had difficulty finding the girl because the place was crowded. It feel
“Ouch… how far is it from home?” Arjuna, who was forced to take Lia home, was half conscious, grumbling to himself. “Which is so heavy….”Unknowingly, Arjuna let Lia finish the bottle he was holding, thinking that the drink was not alcohol. After finishing, then the man realized. His negligence made Lia even worse. He really was out of control. When Arjuna was struggling to think of a way to calm Lia down, he saw Lia's cellphone ringing quite loudly. When Arjuna focused his attention, he saw Aini's name written on it. Immediately, Arjuna felt nauseous at the sight of that name. He quickly looked around and picked up the cell phone, chatting briefly with Aini who was surprised to know that Lia was with Arjuna, the supervisor. Because he wanted to avoid being found out, finally Arjuna lied and said that Lia needed help with her thesis, even though they had different lecturers. Aini almost couldn't believe it, her attention was diverted when she heard Lia scolding Arjuna. From there, f
Dave frowned in front of breakfast this morning. Since Aini left her house, she would ask her aunt at home for help or cook for herself, but that could not be fought by being with Aini. It felt like he was so stupid for letting Marissa play him. After the message he sent saying he wanted to meet, the two had not met again after that night's meeting. Maybe this is the right time to apologise to Aini and explain the situation? Dave hurriedly shook his head. No, no. His thinking is so stupid. How could Aini forgive him just like that? He, who had sworn to protect Aini, actually hugged a woman who was his ex. The hug that was given was not a hug in general, so it was not surprising that Aini misunderstood when she saw it. Not only that, Dave recorded what Marissa would say when they hugged at that time, saying that Dave would not be able to escape from him and he would follow him wherever he went. Just thinking about it made his body shiver again."Does it taste bad?" The aunt who was c
Because of all the problems, Dave decided to rest for a while waiting for lunch with the client. Several sighs escaped Dave's lips as he tried to sleep. Instead of feeling better, his efforts to rest only made his head hurt even more. Universally, he kept going back to the issue at hand, how he had threatened Marissa earlier. Even if it wasn't true, Dave still felt guilty for doing such a thing to someone he called a friend. Dave sighed again, his memory still remembering how he screamed loudly. It felt like everyone would be talking about his actions behind his back. It really wasn't what he wanted, yet he himself couldn't do anything about it. The feeling of annoyance and hatred that was inside Dave had just been contained for too long. He also expressed his frustration towards Aini to Marissa. However, he was still wrong. He seemed to do all that to make fun of Aini. Upon hearing Dave's threat and his yelling, soon Marissa left without saying anything, she couldn't even reply to
When they were back in the car, Dave and Aini were silent for the rest of the journey. They exchanged glances occasionally, conversing among themselves without words. Luckily, Aini didn't have to remind Dave of the wishes of the workers who entrusted him with it when he left earlier, making it easier for him to immediately collect all their groceries. However, before they could return to the office, Dave suddenly stopped the car. He also lowered his head before looking at Aini seriously. “W-want to eat first? I saw you weren't eating well just now.”Aini shook her head, she wanted to avoid being with Dave any longer for fear that she would melt down. “No, it's okay. I also bought some along with the others.”“I insisted,” Dave said finally, not giving Aini space to evade Dave's wishes. With new confidence, Dave finally took Aini to a place to eat that he thought he would like. Aini did like him, but he couldn't admit that he liked the person he was eating with, instead it made him fe
As soon as Aini left Dave, she even got out of the car and chose to walk to the office, Dave could only lock himself in his office. In fact, Dave was late for the meeting that afternoon. Luckily, Aini managed to make excuses to potential clients about Dave, who didn't even explain anything to Aini about why he arrived late. At first, Ain was annoyed because she didn't hear any explanation, but at last she selected to let it go, maybe Dave had a lot on his mind after their morning. It was true, Dave had so much on his mind that many times he fell asleep on his office couch, feeling like his body would collapse at any moment. He just kept trying, so he could continue his day like there was no problem. Again, he wanted to avoid being a burden to others. He had already made plans for the evening. Drink alcohol until late and fall asleep, throwing away all the dizziness and burden with all the drinking. However, everything changed when he saw his cell phone flickering, indicating that he
One night, Hendramo, who was ready to go to bed, received a text message from Leo, saying that he wanted to meet and discuss something. Of course, Hendramo couldn't refuse the invitation, so he replied with an equally short reply, saying that he could do that. Out of curiosity, Hendramo finally decided to go to bed right away, waiting for tomorrow to come, so he could know what Leo wanted to discuss so he could tell him first. Unlike his usual self, suddenly Leo had come in the morning, even when Hendramo was just getting ready at his office, Leo had already opened the door and sat on the chair that was there. His actions that were different from usual made Hendramo raise an eyebrow, feeling so curious about what he really wanted to do. Instead of speaking immediately, Leo paid close attention to Hendramo's office. This wasn't Leo's first time visiting, but he had noticed many changes in the office since his last visit. A smile etched on Leo's lips, he looked at Hendramo and gave a
While having lunch with other co-workers, Aini suddenly got a message from Leo. At first, Aini didn't want to reply, she wanted to say that she didn't have her cell phone with her. However, because he forgot to turn off the ringtone, people could hear him clearly when Leo was trying to call Aini. They all stared at the girl clutching her cell phone in panic now, not wanting to pick it up or talk to Leo. Knowing that she had been cornered, finally Aini gave an apologetic smile to her other colleagues. Some of them even rushed Aini to pick up the phone immediately, giving a mischievous smile as if they knew that the person calling her must be the husband-to-be who was busy talking about. Because she would rather not argue, finally Aini just gave an apologetic smile once again, bowed her head slightly before focusing on her cell phone, which was still ringing. He tried to find a quiet place so no one could hear their conversation. It's not that Aini doesn't want other people to eavesdro
