I don't know what keeps me close to Anesta. Whether because of love or because of my selfishness as a man. I felt she was still mine when I was by her side.
I wanted her back to my arms, no matter how. I'll try. It just takes a little patience for that.
When yesterday I could kiss her hand, she didn't pull it off. At that moment I wanted to pull him in my arms, kiss his face. Touching his lips with mine. I want to hold her tight. I've missed him.
I only had a minute with him. Just one month. If Anesta gets back in my arms, I'm gonna ask her to work here so we can be together again.
I know Anesta already has a boyfriend. I also know that her family does not approve of their relationship. Mama Anesta told me. And I know my debt is bigger for the Anesta family to accept.
I'm racing against time to get her heart back. Just one month.
I drove through the city traffic, I'll go to the mess to meet him. Some days I feel so excited.

"Nes, would you like to stop by for a minute? Let's have dinner first"
"I'm hungry too. It turns out that overtime can make you hungry quickly"
"Well! 7 O'clock overtime? It's still Nes' afternoon"
"What time are you guys overtime?"
"At 9pm, it's often more than that"
"Crazy yeah! I never got to that hour. At 6pm it was the longest. I'd rather go to work on Saturdays or if it's a normal day early"
"That Saturday, it's best to wake up in the afternoon"
"I couldn't work until night, like my brain was tired after working from morning. In the morning it feels better"
"Also Git, I don't have my own room to do interviews or training. So if another Saturday doesn't go to work, I'm free"
"If a typical day likes to be teased?"
"Yes, especially if the one I interviewed was a clear girl. Well, that's a guy's eyeball at the office feeling like it's coming out"
"Crazy no, because the grout until someone hit the door. Just seen"
"Hahaha, what a pity Nes. Trus, at the protest didn't you interview her on Saturday?"
"Initially protest, trus is ordinary. They protested that they could not see the clear"
"Hahaha, behave!"
"What's Nes eating?"
"As for Git, I follow"
Eating catfish pecel yes, role. Wanna naw? "
" Come on, who's afraid! What matters is that the portions are many"
"Ck, the one next to me heavyweight ate it too"
"Hahaha, don't be surprised if my portion of food is a lot"

As soon as I got out of the car I saw Ben sitting in the car waiting for me. He looked at me clingy. The brown-eyed man with his pair of thick eyebrows and his eyes that seemed to sedate me.
I used to feel so bad when he stared like that. There was a feeling that I was so special.
This time, it was why the feeling was present again.
"Where's Nes from?" The question made me feel more guilty. I lied to him and this time I made him wait.
"Mistake himself he came, did I not tell him, " whispered my other heart.
"From Trus' office to dinner"
"Hmmm, don't you want to eat with me?"
I started to get upset with the question. "Who the hell are you that seems to be treating me this is yours"
I pursed my lips, rolled my eyeballs without wanting to look him in the eye. He should have known the meaning. I don't like the question.
"Here, sit near me" he asked. I shifted a little bit of my ass.
"Here, closer. I think we're back" He pulled my hand and hugged my shoulder.
"I'm sorry, it made you upset with my question.
"Don't get angry dong Nes. I just want to be close to you, 'cause you're only here for a month"
"Why should that be?"
"What should that be?"
"There is a time lost when we become lovers. I want to make up for it even if it's just for a minute"
"But we don't have anything to do with Ben. Why the hell do you have to force everything as you want. I don't like it"
"You can't understand that you and I are just the past"
He took a deep breath, then tilted his head in order to clearly look at me.
"Yes I understand Anesta. But we can still be friends, right?"
I glanced at him with the corner of my eye, how else would I say "I want him out of my life"... Stay away Ben!
"Can Nes?" the door again. I just nodded weakly. It's stupid to follow all the questions. Why do these lips feel silly to say no.
"OK, from tomorrow we go and go home together. I'm picking it up"
"But Ben...!"
"Ssttt, don't protest!" while putting his index finger on my lips
"Ben, this isn't fair...!"
"Hmmm, if the protests continue I will kiss your lips" he said calmly
"You know, when your lips are open like that. Looks sexy"
Then he came closer "I want to taste it," he whispered in my ear.
My eyeballs are rounded, I look sharply at his beads. It was so rude of his mouth.
He just smiled at me, straightened his seat. Holding my hand, then kissing my cheek "I'm home huh. I'll pick you up tomorrow"
Then he passed from before me. What kind of man was he that made me fall in love?.
Did I fall in love with the wrong guy?
A wayward man, stubborn and reckless.
"Huh, she's so annoying!"
I just watched his car go by.

Tonight I miss spilling it all over Dea. A friend who is always there for me.
"Hallo De, I want a story. Listen and don't cut it"
Flowing all my stories, about Ben and my feelings for Mahesa. Sometimes I find it hard to define the feeling that rages on the chest. Dea always understood.
"It's hard to refuse his request?"
"He'll keep coming De, '" I said almost desperately.
"Well, it's okay to act like a friend. Can right? Or are you having trouble resisting her charms?" Dea chuckled long.
"I know you Anesta. You're afraid to fall in love again with her charms, aren't you?"
I said, What kind of friend is he?
"No, I just feel guilty for Mahesa"
"Stop your heart, because you're dealing with the most stubborn man. I'm sure you can get through Anesta"

I stared in front of the mirror. Staring at the red fanta knee-length dress. I looked again at my eye makeup, a soft pink eye shadow and a matching blush. Peach colored lipstick on my lips, enough of my makeup today. Doesn't look flashy.
"For Nes, today we leave with us again or how?"
"No Se, I'm off with a friend"
"Oh, yesterday came yes"
"Yes" hoping Yose doesn't ask further. It doesn't seem like it, usually men don't really want to know things like that.
I saw Ben's car in front of the fence. I quickly finished my tea. Hmmm, he doesn't want to be late like yesterday.
"I am first!"
I was like running, not wanting to make him wait too long.
"Good morning Anesta! This morning you look beautiful" I can only blush, feeling panted.
Open the car door for me, touch my finger.
"What are these other experiments?"
