Bad Boy In Love
Cold Dating

Yes, Nindya was sitting in a coffee shop with her fiance, Daniel. Faced, unlike a couple who have a love affair, but more like an office colleague who is discussing work.

Daniel focused on the laptop, busy with his finger on the keys and a screen displaying the rock structure. While Nindya held a coffee cup while staring out of the cafe. Mused.

Instead of talking about marriage as Nindya told Eagle this morning, the young lecturer couple only talked about something related to work, education, research, teaching schedules and then silence with their respective affairs.

Nindya daydreams Eagle, if she goes out with the campus playboy, who is younger than her..What kind of place will the Eagle choose to spend time together? Just make a coffee like now or take her to the sunset while hugging?! Nindya smiled faintly, The eagle promised her a beautiful twilight. So romantic.

"You want some coffee, Nin?" daniel asked surprised. "Are you going to eat? Was it laper?"

Nindya looked at Daniel who spoke with eyes still not separated from the screen of his laptop. "Finish your work first! I'm not hungry yet."

"Okay, it's not long. Ohya, the next week I'm really busy, I have a comparative study to Bandung!"

Nindya nodded, smiling wryly before muttering assuously. Is Daniel always busy?

"You're also on the field with the project team. Tomorrow to the kidulnap mountain?"

"Hm, Mr. Ronald requested that there be a water feasibility test added in the campus ecology research. There were some students under my guidance who joined there."

"Yes, I know about that. One of the geology students who became my assistant I deliberately put in the project."

"Elang is also on the same team!" The sentence was not spoken clearly from Nindya's lips even though she wanted to discuss the naughty student with Daniel. But the timing wasn't right because Daniel wasn't focused on him. Though the Eagle is not naughty in a reasonable portion of him, the Eagle is already too brash.

Did ya? Geez Nindya actually blushed when remembering the lack of Eagles, secretly even comparing the Eagle's attitude with his fiancee. According to him dating a wild mapala is not bad either, meaning making love with a warm Eagle so tempting rather than just staring at Daniel with his laptop.

Daniel raised his head for a moment and then lowered his head again. "You're daydreaming a lot, thinking about what?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to disturb your concentration of work!" syndir Nindya. Somehow he felt a little upset that his Sunday was filled with work and formal dating not far from work as well.

"I promise once my research project is complete, I'll have more time for us. I haven't been to Semarang for a long time, how's mom?"

"He was good."

"Your cousin is getting married next week?"

Feeling that Nindya's mood was not good, Daniel did not dare to ask further about Nindya's brother's marriage. "We'll catch up soon, you trust me, right? Six months is not long. We'll get married after all my busy life is over."

Nindya raised both eyebrows in disbelief, when did Daniel not have the busyness? Six months later it is not a guarantee that Daniel is not busy and they will get married, especially if Nindya so continue his doctoral education to Japan.

Nindya did not want to argue. "Yes, I believe you!" A sweet smile was given to Daniel who looked at him with eyes pleading for understanding.

"On going to your cousin's wedding .. I can't promise ya, Nin! Fear is still in Bandung!"

"Hmm, no problem!" answer Nindya flat. It seems like misrecognizing the person in the riverfront tent is becoming right now. Nindya did not know Daniel well despite six months of engagement. The type of busyness of Daniel is too diverse until many important moments together are missed.

"Aren't you angry?" Daniel took Nindya's hand, grasping her for a moment.

"We're not kids anymore, isn't that what you want to emphasize? I can understand, work and education are very important to you, to us." Nindya was wise despite having to lie to her heart. His need to have a warm partner why was he realized after getting into a silly relationship with the Eagle?

"Tell your mother that I can't leave work, I can't go back and forth between Bandung - Semarang right?"

"Mom will understand, you take it easy."

"We're going to Semarang to visit your mother after I get home from Bandung! I promise," Daniel assured.

"Yes." Yeah." Nindya assented without much question. Such a promise is commonplace, not realized, forgotten accidentally by busyness. And for Nindya, it was no big deal, after all making excuses for her mother who always asked her fiance too easily.

"Want to eat now? I'm done." Daniel closes the laptop and removes it from the table.

"Byeah," answered Nindya sweetly. In her heart she wanted to immediately end her useless date and return home, reading a book in the library. Enjoying solitude as usual.

"You're going to the bookstore after this?"

"No, I want to read at home." Nindya yawned and rubbed her eyes. Is there nowhere else to spend time for two smart people like Nindya and her fiance?

Honestly Nindya is getting tired of Daniel's dating style. Stiff and monotonous. Nindya complained inwardly, wondering what did the Eagle do today after receiving his rejection? Wreaking his emotions on alcohol like last night, or even venting his passion on Vivian?
