Damar: Love Is On The Way
Shamans

Pinnacle POV

The sky began to change color, a few minutes ago the sun appeared bright despite the white clouds becoming shadows that were ready to take position. The sky has become gray with uneven black clouds, containing rain that is ready to spill without warning.

The view outside the car looks busy. Different types of motor vehicles are alternating. Meanwhile, the journey to the office was slow and stressful. I sat down next to the steering wheel in silence. The handsome guy who gave me a free ride to the office hasn't opened his mouth since he got in the car a few minutes ago.

'Here you go, don't be so hard of a thought!' A voice reminded. I glanced at Damar who was driving without a word. His black bead kept an eye on the black asphalt filled with various types of motor vehicles.

His nose was high, his thin pomegranate lips formed a straight line. I don't know what he was thinking, was he angry? No way! Maybe I was hoping too much. It's too hallucinating that maybe the guy sitting behind the wheel has an interest in me even a little bit. A shred of hope that made my chest expand. I think I'm going crazy thinking about all kinds of possibilities. Who could resist a charm that was deliberately stocked to ensnare the heart of a weak woman like me. I may have misunderstood his attention.

Being in the same car like this makes me miserable for uncertain reasons. I can't have any special feelings for him. Can't!

"Ahead, turn right," I said telling the position of my office located in the Satellite Shophouse.

Damar didn't say anything afterwards. The red car that was driven finally entered the shophouse parking area. I got out of the car after saying thank you. Taking the longest step I could do and praying this guy who made my heart riled up immediately disappeared or turned into an online taxi driver but my steps were stopped by his words.

"Go home, I'll pick you up!" said Damar who got out of the car. I turned my head. He looked at me with a hard to translate look.

I took a slow breath and exhaled it. I wanted to reject it but how. We often argue with our mouths. He's stubborn. We are both stubborn.

I nodded slowly without a smile. If I'm honest I'm glad someone's willing to pick me up but not like this either. Too soon.

"No, I can ride an online motorcycle," I refused. I can go home alone and I'm trained.

"You sure?"

"Hm." I nodded slowly and turned around. "The room?" I looked to make sure he was gone. But alas, he was still standing next to his car, his eyes looking straight at me.

"Fine, we don't see each other anymore" I said staring at the paving ground under my feet in a soft voice as if talking to myself. I'm not sure he heard my words. I wanted to break my relationship with him even though in reality there was no special relationship between us. I also don't understand what feelings I have for her.

"Why? Aren't we friends?" tanyakanya. He looked at my back, I could feel his sharp gaze piercing through my head. I blew away the breath I had been holding for a while.

I want to say his friendship was just a charade but no word came out. I have to pay compensation for kicking the bumper of his car when it was emotional. Then to get the ID card and SIMku that Damar also seized as collateral before paying the repair fee.

"I can't?" I said after a few seconds. I have no reason to see him. I don't want the heartache of giving my heart to her willingly. I turned my body and looked at his face. His face challenged me.

"Why? Are you afraid of falling in love with me?" he said haughtily, his two black eyes looking at me straight without blinking.

Blood flowed straight into my face. My cheeks are heating up because of it. She ...

I hate him, but until when do I have to endure the foreign feelings that make my heart beat while with him. My efforts to control it were in vain if I chose to hope that one day Damar would glance at me.

"Why? You don't have an answer?" he said in the same tone. I was too busy with my thoughts to realize that Damar was already in front of me at a distance of no more than half a meter.

"You're right! I'm afraid I'm gonna fall in love with you and you're not." I'm saying. I just said I liked it indirectly. I wish I could disappear this very second or the ground beneath me split and take me away from her. I don't know what has gotten into me. Or maybe it's better like this. I felt my cheeks getting smoky from embarrassment. "Am I wrong? You're too selfish to think of your own interests" I said, taking all my heart out. I have no shame in declaring love first. No this is not love, I just told her to leave my life in my own way. Then why is my heart still pounding.

"What's? Don't kid me?" he said he was holding back laughter. I narrowed my eyes and rounded my lips. He laughed at me and it made me angry. I was angry at myself for being such a fool. Why don't I just shut up? Wh why? Wanna put where my face is? "Sorry ..., I was surprised by the way you expressed love ...," the god still kept a smile.

"You can go now!" Smoother me. "My debt is paid off and I have nothing to do with you" I said before breezing away.

"Dark, stupid!" His firm hands managed to clench my arms and made me stop my steps and look at him.

"Is it still unclear? I'm done with you." I shake my hand with anxiety. But in vain, his hands were like an eagle clutching firmly on its prey.

"You just declared your love, and now, you're gonna run away?" Both eyes were watching my face closely. My cheeks started to heat up due to the sudden flow of blood.

"If you think so, yes."

"Hen, is that you?" Leon's heavy voice made me turn my head, looking for the source of the voice. Leon was not far away. The white shirt and light blue denim pants make it look younger and fresh.

"He's your boyfriend?" Damar tightened his hand. The stopped blood flow made my skin a little sore.

"You think?"

"Shit!" I heard Damar cursing slowly. I used this opportunity to take off his hand.

"No, no, he's gone!" I put on my best smile.  "Yes, right, Damar?" I looked at Damar who was standing not far from me and gave a look 'you should leave now'. He picked up the signal I gave him. Good though.

"I'll pick you up!" He put his right hand over my head and patted it lightly as if I were his kitten.

"Yes, yes, now go!" banish me smooth. I could lose my mind if Damar treated me like that. Damnit damnit! Some of us like that attention.

"Who? A boyfriend?" Leon turned to look at me full of probes. I stared at Damar's back slowly away before getting into his luxury car and disappearing.

"Him? It can't be!" elakku. I glanced at Leon who was looking at me.

"Look, you guys are fighting like a couple!" Leon commented. Leon's comment made me have to roll my eyeballs for the umpteenth time. If it were true.

"You must have seen it wrong, let's go in!" I twisted my body and left Leon still sculpting. He followed my steps and immediately took my steps with his long legs.

"You're sure he's not your girlfriend" he said.

"Yes, I don't have a boyfriend." I screamed a little to convince him.

"Then, where have you been these three days?"

"Why are you acting like Damar?" I have to thank Leon for making me remember Damar. I wish I could stuff his mouth with my mother's homemade rendang neatly tucked away in the lunchbox. I patted my forehead remembering that my suitcase was still in Damar's car. The man must have done it intentionally.

"So, he's angry that you ignored him for three days?" leon's words made me even more upset. I don't want to talk about Damar anymore. I want to be free of him.

"Why does it smell so bad, huh? Right, I smell bad, are you now changing profession to a shaman?"

"Basin a bad boy." Leon pulled my body and wrapped his sturdy arm around my shoulder then ruffled my hair that I had neatly combed. "How long have you known her?" the tanya still grabbed my shoulders.

"Leon!" I was just about to hit him when he caught my hand. He rewarded me with a familiar look to me, a seductive look that managed to make a red hue meet on my cheek.

"So I'm a step behind him?" I ignored Leon's comments. I don't want to get carried away by my unclear feelings. Besides, there's no way Leon likes me, there's a lot of pretty girls around who are ready to warm up. I can't be one of them.

"How about a project in Bandung?" I said distract. He took his arm off my shoulder.

"I lost my best employee, can't you stay here with me forever?" leon looked with a sad look. Nah! Maybe I misinterpreted that look. I must have seen it wrong. "You should visit this poor man often!" added Leon with a contrived tone.

"Did I not hear wrong? If a handsome man like you is poor, what about those who live on the streets?"

"So, am I handsome?"

"That's not the problem!"

"But, right, am I handsome?"

"Yes, very handsome when viewed from Monas!"
