Chaptre 44. I Trust You

“How can I call you by name only, Sir? Isn't your age almost six years older than mine?” reject Izzah politely.

“Then call oppa!” Shin Seo Hyun did not want to give up.

“It feels strange,” Izzah said feel awkward. He knows, in Korea oppa calls are commonly used as a greeting to an older brother or lover.

“Yes if you really mind. If you call me by name or a typical Indonesian greeting how?” asked Shin Seo Hyun again, still insisting on her wish.

“Whatever you have the name Indonesia?” Izzah rada asked in shock.

“Of course. My grandfather was a native Indonesian. But ... no one knows my identity other than family. So, you're the first to know it,” replied Shin Seo Hyun proudly.

“Really?” Izzah only found out that his boss was of Indonesian descent. Shin Seo Hyun nodded.

“How? Want, right?” shin Seo Hyun asked in a demanding tone.

“Can also if you force,” says Izzah selling expensive. Shin Seo Hyun shook her head.

“It turns out this girl also has high self-esteem,” her murmur at heart.

“Just take this our initial introduction. I'm Dirga Kusuma. You can call me, Dirga,”, Shin Seo Hyun said, officially introducing herself as she reached out.

Izzah glanced at Dirga's outstretched hand, but did not welcome it. Izzah will never accept a helping hand or a touching man unless the conditions allow it to be in accordance with the religious law it espouses.

“Alright, Mas Dirga. I don't think I should introduce myself anymore. Now how about we go home? It was late at night,” replied Izzah while tapping his watch with his index finger.

Shin Seo Hyun aka Dirga Kusuma pulled back her outstretched hand.

“According to rumors, it turns out this girl indeed refuses to shake hands with the opposite sex,” Dirga inner.

He was not at all offended. Instead, he felt lucky if he could really have a full Izzah.

“OK. Let's go home!” bring him.

That night, Dirga and Izzah leave the Han River with a piece of their memories and secrets.

“Mas Dimas!” izzah exclaimed in shock and worry as she saw Dimas sitting close to his legs, clenching his hands and blowing them against the cold.

Hearing Izzah's cry, Dimas immediately greeted him. He ignored his cold body without a jacket.

“Where are you going, Zah? Nothing bad happened, right?” ask Dimas. “There have been countless times I called you without any answer. I'm very worried.”

Dimas was really anxious. Observing Izzah's body from head to toe. Izzah checked his phone.

“Aduuuh .. sorry, Mas Dimas. My phone is off, but I'm fine,” replied Izzah, feeling bad. Hurry up he opens the door.

“Log in first, Mas! I'll make you warm tea,” bargain Izzah.  He felt sorry for Dimas' condition.

On the lip of the stairs, Dirga held back the growl of hearing the conversation of Izzah and Dimas. He hastened the steps toward them. Dimas looked at Dirga with glittering eyes.

“Master Shin? What do you want night-night come here?” ask Dimas to interrogate. He was not happy with the appearance of Dirga.

“I just drove Izzah home,” Dirga said calmly. He can control his emotions. Hearing Dirga's reply, Dimas only snorted.

Dimas and Dirga sat down without saying much. The two just look at each other. Tired of challenging Dimas's sharp gaze, Dirga stood up and stepped towards Izzah's bookshelf. View the Izzah novel collection. As before, nothing has increased.

He deliberately showed his closeness to Izzah to provoke Dimas' emotions. He wanted to know how Dimas really felt about Izzah.

“Not yet .. Lately IN Cinnamon seems very busy,” Izzah said while walking carrying a tray containing three cups of warm tea.

At first glance Dirga caught a glint of jealousy in Dimas' eyes. As a fellow man, he knew Dimas viewed Izzah as a woman, not a friend. He smiled happily to see Dimas eating his bait. He relaxed back to his seat.

The cold night wind was rushing in through the open door. Dimas held his teacup with both hands. Letting the warmth flow, just reduce the cold that makes his fingers seem frozen. Slowly he sipped the tea so that the warmth he had could also flow through his body.

Dirga watched Dimas' movements with the corners of his eyes, past the lips of the tea cup he had wiped. His mind was thinking of ways how he could beat Dimas in his competition for the heart of Izzah.

Only hindered by a tray, Dimas also sneaked a glance at Dirga from behind his fingers holding the cup. He believes the man who became his business relationship also harbored a sense of Izzah.

Izzah who is insensitive to the feelings of men just sits sweetly enjoying the warm tea in his hands. He was unaware of the turbulent inner war between Dimas and Dirga. All he knew was that they had to finish the tea and get out of the house as quickly as possible.

Finish enjoying a warm tea served Izzah, Dimas and Dirga pamit. Upon arriving by the road, Dimas called Dirga who was about to open his car door.

“Mr Shin, can I talk to you for a minute?” the door was straightforward.

Dimas is known as a very honest person and always frank. And that nature is what makes Dirga interested in establishing business cooperation with Dimas.

“Ya?” shin Seo Hyun stopped her movements. He greeted Dimas who was walking towards him.

“To be frank, I don't like pleasantries. So, I'll ask you directly and I hope you will answer honestly,” Dimas said flatly. Shin Seo Hyun frowned both of her eyebrows.

“What do you love Doctor Izzah?” asked Dimas in an interrogating tone. Shin Seo Hyun smiled.

“It seems that rumors about you who are always to the point are indeed true yes ...,” said Shin Seo Hyun a little stalling.

“No need to beat around the bush! Right now I don't have much time to chat casually,” sergeant Dimas is cold.

“Haha .. I did too. Frankly, I want to go home soon after tired of wading the Han river with Doctor Izzah,” Shin Seo Hyun replied, making Dimas' ears flushed with jealous flames.

“Then, just answer my question and you can carry out your intention immediately,” said Dimas flat. He tried hard to hold back his emotions.

“Alright if that's what you want. Honestly, I love Doctor Izzah very much. In fact, since the first time I saw him. You satisfied now?” shin Seo Hyun was clear. He also spent three dollars with Dimas, always being straightforward.

Hearing Shin Seo Hyun's confession, Dimas clenched his fingers. His gaze challenged Shin Seo Hyun's eyes.

Shin Seo Hyun did not want to lose. His gaze sharply pierced Dimas's sanitary napkin.

“OK. If so, please fight for your love! But remember, I will also fight and will not give up just like that,” said Dimas multimatum.

“Good. As a real man, let's compete healthily. And I make sure this competition will not have any effect on our business cooperation,” said Shin Seo Hyun steadily.

“How? Deal?” shin Seo Hyun asked to confirm when she saw Dimas still staring at her in silence. He reached out to Dimas. Dimas smiled.

“Ok. Deal,” reply Dimas. He nodded while receiving Shin Seo Hyun's hand.

Dimas and Seo Hyun turned their backs to each other's cars. Just a few steps, Dimas turned around.

“Oh yes ... one more thing, let Doctor Izzah make his choice!” dimas said half-screaming. Shin Seo Hyun simply gave a thumbs up sign in agreement.

While Izzah, who did not know what was going on out there between Dimas and Dirga, was already asleep under a warm blanket.
