Ares: Never Grow Up
Safa's memories (4)

POV: Safa

It's been 10 years since I parted ways with Boni. No news, my letter never once replied, my message never delivered .. I always wondered if he changed his phone number? Since I graduated from school, I immediately looked for a job and began to dig up information about Boni.

But everything was in vain, in the end .. I couldn't find it.

Therefore I also began to focus on my own career, and managed to become a fairly successful person. Yes ... I am a young influencer who gets noticed a lot on social media. Maybe because I used to have a habit of talking a lot, so I can take this job seriously and the results are satisfactory.

And I also hoped .. that the more famous I was, that he would hear from me, and start looking for me.

And my wish was fulfilled only after 10 years of waiting. That's when I went to the pet store because I wanted to buy a cat. That day .. I still remember it clearly, we were the first to meet after such a long time.

***

"Eh ... Bo ... this?" I asked hesitantly to the mature woman in front of me. He had long straight black hair that was left unraveled, wearing a black suit and black pants and a super neat and impressive appearance. And what I noticed the most, was her purple eyeballs that looked beautiful like dark gems.

"Am? ... Safa?" The woman looked at me while holding a small cat with a dense gray fur color. Really, if I was a schoolboy, I'd like to run and hug him right now.

But, 10 years is not a short time, it is a very long time, enough time to make someone become strangers to each other. Boni immediately put down the little cat and started cleaning some of the cat fur that was stuck in his suit.

"It's been a while? How's it going? Looks like we met in a less than appropriate place." Boni spoke in a very elegant tone. I was surprised when I first heard it.

Well, of course not .. we've changed.

"Yes, you're right, it's been 10 years since we last met. Do you have any free time after this? It seems like fate brought us to meet today" I said with a bright smile, just like I did in my work as an influencer.

"Hm, okay. I'll reserve the restaurant first. Don't you have a problem getting the car?" asked Boni while pulling out her phone. I was going to protest because he said he was going to reserve the restaurant. But I also thought about his image later. Seeing him wearing a suit like this, I can guess that he has inherited the company of his father and mother. Since he was an only child, surely both companies were charged at him.

"I don't care, but while the car hasn't come yet, how about we take a look at this cat first?" I asked while staring at the dozens of small cats to adults who play around in this place. Boni smiled faintly and nodded her head, after that, we squatted and played with cats, sometimes we also talked to each other about what we did all this time, and whatever we've been through.

Tin tin!

We both turned towards the luxurious white car that came to pick us up.

"Here you come, come on." Boni. I immediately stood up and followed Boni from behind.

Uwah .. This is a little embarrassing. Though Boni wears formal clothes, but I only wear free clothes only .. today I have no job, so I only wear short-sleeved pink shirts and pants with bone white.

"Wait, are my clothes okay? I don't have a job today, so I'm wearing free clothes ...," I said with a slight hesitation.

Krrtr.

The car glass came down and showed the familiar face of the driver.

Yep. He is Hiro. I did not expect him to continue working for Boni until his umpteenth age.

"Sir Hiro is right, don't worry about your clothes. I've rented a full restaurant for us. We don't have to think about clothes.

Or if you're still awkward, what if I also change into a casual outfit? I think it'll be fairer, besides I've been claustrophobic in this suit from earlier." Boni began to take off her tie and black suit, leaving behind a white shirt and black pants, and she also tucked her hair back.

Just like his habits in the past.

"Well, come?" Boni opened the door for me, I came in shy. Though I had also once entered Boni's car, but why does it feel so awkward now?

Brak!

Boni closes the door, and Hiro immediately runs the car to go to the restaurant that Boni had booked earlier.

Really ... although I think my income is high now, but Boni's income is even greater. He could even afford to rent a fancy restaurant like this for himself?!

I stared at the luxurious building in classic style in front of us parking the car. Mr. Hiro did not come down and preferred to stay inside, while Boni had invited me to enter the restaurant.

"This ... I don't have to order the menu, do I?" many nervous. Because really ... I don't understand anything about the menu at the restaurant.

"Ah don't worry. I ordered one serving each. So you can taste it all" said Boni with a smile without her burden. I was envious of being rich.

Before long food began to come to our table, one by one deluxe food was served in front of me, which I probably hardly ever ate. But Boni looked calm as if she was used to it.

"Don't worry, you don't have to apply table manner here, because all the waiters will come out and just the rest of us." Boni spoke while taking the lobster cupit with her right hand. I started to look around, and sure enough .. All the servants had disappeared, leaving us both here.

I started taking some food that caught my attention at the beginning, and tasting them one by one.

"Is your life okay? Because we've almost never exchanged any news this whole time."

DEG!

I didn't expect that Bonilah would bring this topic first. I have been avoiding this topic since. I swallowed my food with great difficulty, then stared at Boni.

"Yes .. I'm fine too. But ... Why don't you ever reply to my message? Your number is also off" I said in a sad tone.

"I. .. have another reason.".

TBC.

Don't forget the likes, guys!
