A Cup of Black Coffee
Chapter 58

They decided to go to a lake.

Ragil and Farah felt they should start opening up. Whether or not their relationship will end, at least, both want to start something without anyone being covered up.

Two cups of coffee accompanied their chat in the cafe.

"Do you like black coffee?" ask Farah wonder.

Ragil chuckled, "you know I used to like milk coffee or creamer so, whatever Hulya made me will spend it without complaint, until one day I know that all of it is Azam's favorite."

Farah nodded in disbelief. He was inexhaustible with Hulya's mind.

"So that's why you're traumatized by milk coffee?" continued.

"Not really, sometimes still drink too but in the form of ice."

"You know, enjoy black coffee, I know what it means" Ragil continued.

Farah frowned confusedly, "what is it?"

"The beginning of drinking does taste bitter, but you know over time the taste will turn a little sweet on my tongue" he explained.

"Ah you are-there is," sambar Farah.

"Maybe it's rich my bitter life that turns sweet, even though I'm still confused and can't believe all this" Ragil said with a laugh.

"From that story about me, how about you tell me about yourself?" pinta Ragil's.

Farah took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Ragil who saw that felt that it seemed like Farah was not ready to open with him.

"If you don't want Papa Far. I only hope—"

"There really is nothing interesting about my life other than me staying with my future husband" Farah said.

"Sorry, can I ask you something?"

"Aren't you just now?" both chuckled at Farah's reply.

"You still love that guy?" ask Ragil waswas. I don't know why his heart was pounding so hard to wait for Farah's answer.

"If love, I don't think it, may be lost because of disappointment" Farah replied calmly.

"This is, for example, if it turns out that he left for something and we're together, is it possible that you'll come back to him?"

"You know Gil, the thing that made me curious and wanted to meet him was why he left without any news. Even his family also moved out of nowhere," explained Farah.

"If you see him again, will you come back?" ask Ragil sharply.

Farah smiled at a glance, she knew Ragil might feel unsure of his feelings.

"I don't know if you believe anything, I just want to know the reason and won't go back to him" Farah replied seriously.

"Whatever the reason may be, to me leaving without clarity is a loser!" continued.

Ragil smiled, maybe that's how women think, they just need clarity. Maybe the disappointment does not make Farah want to come back, hopefully, hope Ragil.

After that, the two engaged in a casual conversation. Both Ragil and Farah agreed to a relationship.

They want to get to know each other, do not want to rush to a more serious level.

As Ragil promised Tania, he escorted Farah to his house. Time shows it's still seven o'clock at night. Farah offers Ragil to stop by her house.

When about to enter the courtyard of Tania's luxury home, there was already parked car belonging to Sarah.

Farah sighed, making Ragil turn to her.

"What's wrong?" ask Ragil confused.

Farah smiled stiffly at her lover, "can I ask for help?" the door is hopeful.

Ragil scrunched his forehead but still nodded.

"Please keep the secret of our relationship from Sarah!"

"I can't tell you now, I'll tell you another story sometime" he asked.

Although confused Ragil still nodded, once again he tried to believe in his partner.

Both walk to the front door.

They had been waiting for Tania and Sarah who were talking in the living room.

"Mas Ragil?" call Sarah confused by the presence of the two of them simultaneously.

"Where are you from?" Sarah was curious.

"We're talking about work" said Farah and sat down next to her mother.

Tania only rubbed Farah's back as support, as she knew very well what her daughter was worried about.

Sarah did not accept the explanation of her cousin. "On this holiday? So you're not taking me?" fierce answer.

"We did not meet intentionally, then discuss work, all I take Farah home," sela Ragil tried to melt the atmosphere.

Sarah kept squealing suspiciously, because she felt something was hidden in both of them.

"Do you have a relationship?"

"Jeez Sar, can't you go overboard? I'm sorry Gil, you better go home, I'll take a break, "push Farah who intends to end all curiosity Sarah.

"Sorry Far, I don't mean how-how, I'll worry about you, what else your past is kan—" I don't know what Sarah said.

"SUFFICIENT SAR!" snapped Farah annoyed.

"Yes I should go home first Aunty, Farah and Sarah, excuse me," Ragil chose to go from there because he was uncomfortable with the two cousins who suddenly hot because of whatever.

"Thank you Gil, I'm sorry you weren't comfortable" Tania said as Ragil endured.

"I take Ragil to the front first yes Mah," said Farah.

Sarah just stared at the two. He felt neglected.

"Aren't you papa?" ragil asked as soon as they were both staying.

Farah nodded with a forced smile, so Sarah, inexplicably her cousin always meddled in her personal affairs.

"I go home and take good care of myself" said Ragil as he rubbed Farah's head.

After Ragil died, Farah went back inside with a cold face. She was so sick of Sarah's behavior that she thought she was always meddling.

"Far, to be honest with me, what kind of relationship do you have?" sergeant Sarah saw Farah come in.

"Aren't I clear? If we had not met intentionally and discussed business issues. Why is this Sar?" Elak Farah fierce.

Sarah rolled her eyes lazily, the woman did not feel guilty at all.

"I'm just worried, you know there's a lot of men who get you because they want to?"

Farah smiled cynically, "does Ragil look like that? It's just that maybe I'm the one who seems to want to be close to him!"

"Please Sar, can you not give my rich support to you. Whatever you do, whatever your choice, I always support you. But all this time I've seen, you've always thought badly of a man approaching me!"

Farah's words made Sarah gasp in shock. His cousin used to listen to him but now it seems that Farah does not want to share with him anymore.

"Are you angry with me Far?" sarah said with teary eyes.

"No, I'm just begging you, please respect me. I'm not a kid who's going to make the original decision. And thanks for your concern, I think you should already think about the fate of your own household," Farah flatly replied.

Sarah lowered her head, "that's why I came here Far. I ... Tired of Azam's mas" he lamented.
