Just A Professional Relationship
Episode Eleven


After dinner, Axel did not immediately drive Nadin to the apartment. The woman asked for help to be delivered first to Juna's apartment, to provide food that was deliberately wrapped.


Nadin said he just wanted to surprise and calm himself by at least meeting with his girlfriend for a moment. He even intentionally did not give any news before going there.


Despite feeling too late, Axel could not resist because he still felt guilty. He thought, maybe Nadin's feelings would be better if he met his girlfriend.


When he arrived at the apartment parking lot, Axel chose to wait in the car. Nadin had invited her to go together. But Axel refused with reason, he was lazy if he had to go up to the twentieth floor. He just didn't want to bother the couple when he met. Nadin also left while carrying plastic filled with food.


How many minutes, Axel just realized that there is one more plastic bag— in the back seat—which is not carried away. Finally he chose to deliver the goods, because it turns out Nadin did not bring his cellphone. He thought about stopping by the bathroom for a while.


Back then, not a single one of the cast members felt any strangeness. Everyone was acting ordinary, as if no problem was approaching. The wheel of fate has just turned in the opposite direction. Heading for a much more winding road than before.


While in the elevator, Nadin only realized that there were items left behind. So, when he reached the twentieth floor, he decided to first enter the toilet at the end of the corridor—, which was opposite to Juna's room. Because he intended to call Axel so that he could bring the items left behind. He himself did not realize that his phone was both left in the car.


At that time, Axel had just climbed into the elevator. Of course he doesn't know where Juna lives. But he thought, surely Nadin would return to the parking lot when he realized there was something left behind. So he decided to wait near the elevator.


After exiting the elevator, Axel was greeted by a green carpeted corridor that looked deserted. And wait while leaning against the wall. Shortly afterwards, a door opened at the end of the corridor. His voice was not too tight, it was just that the very quiet circumstances made Axel realize it.


He saw a man just come out of the room. Of course he realized that that person was Juna. Next followed by a woman who also came out. But strangely enough, the woman was Mala, not Nadin. There was no sign of Nadin there.


Axel still intends to wait in the same place until Nadin appears. But, his attention was seized by two people who still seemed cool chatting at the end there. Occasionally Axel stole a glance, while starting to feel a strange feeling.


Suddenly, she is shocked when she sees Mala hugging Juna, and the two begin to kiss.


Axel knew he shouldn't interfere in other people's affairs. But, what he saw managed to make his emotions explode. He quickly set foot, towards the two people who were still immersed in their world. The scraped bags that he had all held were left to fall on the floor.


When it was very close, Axel pulled Juna's shirt and hit the man's face very hard, until it fell on the floor. Mala who was surprised to scream made. “Hey, what the fuck are you!”


“Shut!” snapped Axel. He then grabbed the front of Juna's shirt with both hands. “Job! He desperately believes the same! Damn you!”


Juna stood up, helped by Mala who looked terrified. At that time, he only realized the presence of Nadin who was silent—not far from where Axel stood. Seeing Juna's expression that looked surprised, Axel immediately looked back. He himself felt the same shock. Moreover, he did not know if Nadin had witnessed all the things that had happened from the beginning?


It froze for a moment. Everyone is preoccupied with their own thoughts. Confused to choose what kind of response to show in such circumstances.


Nadin was still silent with a flat face. Without saying anything, he pressed the elevator button, intending to leave.


Axel was still in his place, when Juna thought of chasing after Nadin. But, of course Axel did not want to let that happen. He blocked Juna's steps, and again gave the attack with a kick. “Lo still have a face to meet him?”


“Who are you, until you dare to interfere with other people's problems?”


Axel grunting. “Gue the man who will take care of Nadin from the jerks like lo!”


 After that, he immediately stepped towards the stairs. Deliberately go down to the bottom floor, so there is no need to be near Juna while waiting for the elevator. “Shit!” he said full of frustration. He even again felt guilty because after making Nadin try to trust the person who really betrayed him.


Axel stepped in a hurry to get to the basement, where his car was parked. But Nadin wasn't there. Frantically, he returned to the apartment and asked the receptionist who was there. Fortunately, someone realized the figure of Nadin who walked out through the main door of the building.


Axel sped up his pace, hoping Nadin hadn't gone too far. He was worried just in case Nadin left aimlessly in a state of mind that was definitely not okay. Plus the day is late enough.


The main door of the apartment building leads to a highway filled with cars that pass quickly. Fortunately, Nadin's existence is not difficult to find. The woman walked on a barrage along the sidewalk. Under the bright lights of the street.


Axel paddled his feet as quickly as possible. Then gripped Nadin's arm which immediately stopped stepping. The woman turned her face towards Axel who was looking at her with worry. However, Nadin's face was still the same as the last time he saw. Flat, expressionless. His eyes seem empty.


Axel gave a smile, which was answered with tears. He also made the woman drown in his arms. Letting Nadin vent all the resentment and sadness he felt.


Axel could feel the sobbing Nadin, and hear his roar. I don't know why all that made him want to shed tears. The sadness was really conveyed to him.


As for Nadin, he felt his life was shattered instantly. Her world that had been built by the existence of her mother and boyfriend, made her afraid because she would lose one of them. The thing is, he never thought it would happen. Just imagining it made her feel empty. I don't know what will happen to him after this, Nadin has no idea.
