Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 153 - Irfan
...***...
Someone got out of the car. Elvina was shocked when she saw who had just come out. That's Irfan, Leon's right-hand man or confidant in the office.
"Irfan.." muttered Elvina as she looked at the man who had just come out.
"As you asked." Irfan thrust the car keys in his hand at Leon.
"Thank you for coming on time." Leon smiled
"Hi, El. Well, you look so pretty in a dress like this" she said with a smile watching Elvina from top to bottom.
Leon glared at Irfan to praise the woman of his heart. Leon thwarted Irfan's footsteps until he nearly fell, but was lucky he could hold his body back from falling.
"You okay?" elvina asked who looked surprised to see the man almost fall down.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Irfan smiles. Leon is increasingly upset to see Irfan who continues to tease his puja.
Leon pulls Elvina's hand and immediately takes her into the car. "Let's go" Leon said quickly as he opened the door and told him to sit on the seat beside the steering wheel.
"Thank you for bringing me my car. You can go home in a taxi." Leon gave a few hundred thousand bills to Irfan.
Leon patted Irfan's shoulder gently and left him alone there.
Irfan fell silent as the car that his boss was riding on drove away from himself on the side of the road.
"That's it, the most important thing is that my work here is done. It's just a bridge to their relationship, but I'm glad I could help her. At least so that Leon will not be stamped as a fellow enthusiast because it continues to be single until now." Irfan went looking for an empty taxi to ride.
...*...
Silent. Not a word came from each other's lips. Since leaving the previous place with Irfan on the side of the road, neither Elvina nor Leon wanted to start a conversation to make things so calm.
Elvina was silent about her stupidity. Why is he so stupid and just want to come with Leon when if the situation is thought of with a clear head, Elvina could have asked Leon to contact Irfan early so Elvina wouldn't have to get stuck with the warden like she is today.
Why not think about me? thought Elvina. He took a deep breath while staring out the window.
Leon glanced at Elvina who kept silent without looking at her. The woman looked very attentive to the road outside.
Though I am very handsome sitting right beside you, but why did you choose to stare at the streets instead? Are paved roads more attractive than me? Leon. The man cleared his throat, breaking the silence that enveloped their togetherness.
Elvina flinched, she was still staring out the window as if she did not care about the surroundings.
"Why are you quiet?" asked Leon who finally opened his voice, slightly melting the frozen atmosphere that had enveloped their togetherness.
Elvina glared at Leon with an annoyed look.
