Hugging Longs

Chapters. 22

Waiting restlessly, peering at the watch on the left wrist many times. Also occasionally bending his head, scanning the surroundings to determine whether what he was waiting for had arrived at the meeting location. Danny was urged to look forward to meeting soon. This time it was like this. Her heart was pounding at the thought of her meeting today with Sara.

Bi Minah also looked just as agitated. Sitting alone in one of the seats in the corner of the cafeteria room he came to with Danny. While Danny himself, hiding behind the wall while occasionally peeking at it.

Thirty minutes had passed from the time Sara had promised to meet. Bi Minah is still faithfully menuggu despite being hit by uncertain anxiety. Because if Mayang knows the meeting of Danny and Sara by involving himself, of course he will be exposed to Mayang tantrums. Or maybe Mayang will even dismiss him from the job that has lived him for many years.

Quite a long wait, the figure that awaited also finally appeared.

“Bi?”

Bi Minah automatically stood up to welcome Sara. Sara had just arrived, but she had to move on. His presence will be replaced by someone. Someone peeking out from behind the wall.

“Sorry yes, Non if Bibi ngerepotin Non Sara,” Bi Minah said.

“It's okay, Bi. Coincidentally I also have a need earlier.”

“Non Sara is different now yes, beautiful once. Aunty until pangling, can hardly recognize.” Bi Minah tried to make small talk. There was really nothing he wanted to talk about with Sara. He asks Sara to meet at Danny's request. Danny even begged him to help him meet with Sara.

“Still, Bi.” Mengulum smiled shyly while tucking some of her hair that was stretched behind her ears.

“Oh yes, said Aunt anyone want to talk? Aunty wants to talk about what the hell until asking to meet in a place like this everything. By phone you can, Bi.” Sara said as she looked at Bi Minah's face that looked unsettled.

“Em, yes Non. Non Sara better sit down first. Want Aunt to order a drink, Non?”

“Not necessary, Bi. I'm not thirsty.”

While behind a wall not far from where Sara and Bi Minah were chatting, Danny was holding back because Tania had not stopped contacting him.

Unsatisfied to send a chat message asking about her whereabouts, Tania now contacts her via video call. Danny obviously doesn't like it. He immediately refused the call and deactivated his phone. While he saw it across there Sara and Bi Minah were still talking. He decided to approach immediately. Because he saw Bi Minah as unable to master the situation.

“Sara.” Danny called lirih. But it still reached Sara's ears. Sara looked over, and was surprised to see it.

Seeing Danny's presence, Sara automatically stood up. Sara starts to look uncomfortable, also wondering.

“This is what it means, Bi? So Auntie here is not alone?” Sara asked, very clearly drawn on his face he did not like the presence of Danny.

“Sorry Aunt Yes Non. Actually Mr. Danny wants to meet with Non Sara. But I dare not say it to Non. Fear of not refusing. Again sorry Auntie ya Non. Auntie excuse me.” Panicking and feeling guilty, Bi Minah rushed to leave Sara and Danny both.

“Sara, I'm sorry for interrupting your time.” Danny said as he looked at Sara Sayu.

Sara casts her gaze in any direction just to avoid meeting Danny's gaze. Which will make his heart wobble. Between the heartache of Danny's past deeds and his love for the man is just as thin as a tissue. So as much as possible he strengthened his defense so as not to collapse.

“Why should I cheat like this? I think we have no business anymore,” said Sara still turned her head, not wanting to look at Danny's face.

“I had to Sara. If not this way you probably wouldn't want to meet me.”

“What does that mean we can still meet after today?” Danny's excited, maybe this is a chance for him to get back to Sara. Bring him back into his life.

“Depends. If my future husband allows.”

One fine punch that hit Danny's step. Sara's not like she used to be. Danny admitted that. He can't control Sara like he used to.

“Prospective husband?” Danny repeated the sentence. Which makes his heart cut. It felt like a dream when Sara had turned away from him. What he thought, Sara had been crazy about him, to be willing to become his shadow.

“Other times if you want to meet, tell me first what you want to talk to me about. I'm sorry, Danny, I can't take long. My husband-to-be is waiting. Excuse me.” Turning her body quickly, Sara rushed out of the place. Leaving Danny dumbstruck with his own thoughts.

But apparently, Danny did not want to give up. Stepping a long way, Danny caught up with Sara who was about to head to the black Alphard parked in the cafe's courtyard. Successfully caught up with Sara, Danny quickly blocked Sara's arm.

“Sara, wait. I still want to talk to you,” said Danny quickly, trying to stop Sara.

Because Danny blocked his arm, Sara's steps automatically stopped. Then turn his body face to face with Danny.

“Danny, release,” pinta Sara tugging at her arm.

“I want to tell you something, Sara.” Danny really didn't want Sara to get away from him. So that his heart was pushed strong to pursue Sara. No matter Sara refuses, or maybe even Sara hates it now. If time could be turned back, he would not waste Sara. He wants their togetherness to repeat itself as before, but in a different bond. A bond he hated. He had truly regretted his previous actions, which often hurt Sara no matter the circumstances.

“Danny, release. Let me go.”

“Sara I beg you to give me a chance. I want us to go back to what we used to be, Sara.”

“Can't Danny. We are officially separated. Live your life freely without being tied to me anymore. Isn't that what you want? After all, you always say that I am like a stain to you, a stain you want to get rid of. Without you doing anything, I've gotten rid of you. Now you're free Danny. Why else would you come to see me.”

“To ask you to come back to me. That's what I want, Sara.”

“Danny, release my hand.” Sara thrashed, tugging at his hand to escape from Danny's grip. But unfortunately Danny clutched his arm tightly, so he had trouble letting go.

“Sara, I won't let you go. I don't want to repeat my mistake. I'm really sorry Sara. Please, understand my situation. Understand my feelings, Sara.” Danny started pleading with a beautiful face. Such a thing was beyond his old habits. Begging Sara was a huge drop in her pride first. But now, he doesn't care anymore. He was too late to realize his feelings. To this day, self-esteem means nothing to him. The most important thing is his feelings.

“After what you did, now you are begging me to understand your feelings? Danny, do you understand my feelings? You hurt me so many times, but I still forgive you, Danny. Even on our first night, you gave me the deepest hurt I still forgive you. Now you say you're sorry? What's Danny for?” Sara's eyes began to glaze over. Danny's words of regret really scratched his heart. Why is it only now that Danny realized his mistake, when he was already injured.

“I'm sorry, Sara. I'm really sorry.”

“Tooooooed Danny. There is nothing between us anymore. Even if there is, it is nothing more than your shadow, right? All this time I was by your side, but I meant nothing.” Jerking roughly at his arm, it finally slipped apart as well. Soon he turned the body to leave Danny.

For the second time Danny blocked his arm strong. Not just one arm, this time Danny held both arms strong, while looking at him closely.

“Sara, please listen to me first.”

“What else should I listen to from you?”Sara threw her face. Looking at Danny's face brought back the wound. Reminds him of Danny's actions on their first night.

“I love you, Sara. I love you so much.”
