Just A Professional Relationship
Episode Four

Nadin spent a quarter of his burger in one bite. He had just arrived at the Athens building, having completed a tour around Java for the past few days.

Time was still showing at one o'clock, but he was feeling very tired. He immediately threw himself in a room reserved for resting places for artists. A room filled with sofas, carpets, televisions and a variety of food. It looks like a large family room.

Nadin still enjoys his food while resting on the sofa and watching television. Looking at the show fashion show, where Juna appeared as one of the models.

Suddenly, the television channel changed on its own. That's what Nadin thought before realizing Axel's presence behind him. The man jumped onto the sofa beside Nadin. Then take some potatoes from the box in Nadin's lap.

“Hei!” nadin Protest. He wanted to rest without interruption.

“Ngapain watch a rival show,” chirps Axel. His right hand feeds the fries, while the other hand still holds the TV remote.

“Why the hell, you keep showing up every time I rest?”

“You yourself are here if you have a break. Besides, there must be an event outside. Rarely, we meet.”

“Sister, Brother Ramos!” Nadin called out to the Hybrid chief who had just entered the room. “This member take it away, dong.”

Ramos just chuckled as he walked towards the refrigerator. Take a bottle of water and drink it. The other members had just arrived in the room.

“Please he hastily come here. Turns out it knows there's you.”

“Proposy yes, Brother. Got a gini kayak. Definitely bothered.”

“She is, where dare to be with Brother Ramos. Who bothers it we, fitting Kak Ramos again no,” sahut Bintang—si main vocal Hybrid blue hair. She is the only member of the same age as Axel and Nadin.

The person being talked about did not comment. Still focused on staring at the tv while continuing to eat Nadin's fries. It is not strange to see him always buying beautiful artists in Athens. But, not many are aware that his attention to Nadin is somewhat different. Only Ramos knows it.

Maybe because of the many women, Nadin became one who was not captivated by his appearance. Instead, he was often made angry because Axel never stopped upsetting him. Nadin himself never knew why the man was like that to him. Just thinking because he felt the same age, so Axel felt more relaxed beside him.

“Oiya, your tour is done huh?” ask Ramos. He sat on one of the chairs near the refrigerator.

“Iya. Last morning last.”

“Old time yes, like a week more don't see you.”

Nadin nodded. “Lumayan. From the West to the East. Until feel the same kangen sofa Athena.”

“Not the same me?” chirps Axel.

“Do not ngarep, lu!” Ve, the main dancer pulled Axel's head from behind. His wavy white hair was cut short by a shoulder. His body was the shortest, but was actually a year older than Axel. “Don't like to disturb a grandpa who already has a girlfriend. If you don't have a boyfriend, Nadin would like to be with you. Yes, Din?”

Nadin raised his thumbs high in a sign of agreement.

“Still this courtship. Ngarep can, right? Partially have not met for a long time, most of his girlfriend goes with other girls.”

“Eh, any! My girlfriend is loyal, not like you!” Nadin punched Axel's arm pretty hard. But it was precisely he who grimaced a little because Axel's muscles were stronger.

Nadin got up from his seat. “I first yes all.”

“If break up say yes,” said Axel, who immediately replied with a throw of a pillow.

At first, Nadin thought of going home to the apartment to put things away. But he felt it was too late to go home. So, while walking towards Tyo's room, he thought of his goal after this.

There were only two places to think about, the hospital where her mother was, or to Juna's place. But in terms of location, the distance to the DC-Management building is closer than the hospital. Nadin thought about meeting Juna first before going to his mother's place. But, since this morning chat he hasn't even replied.

‘What is Kak Juna busy again, huh?’

For almost ten days the two did not meet. But still exchanging news by phone or chat. But three days ago, Juna was difficult to contact. He has been getting a lot of new jobs lately.

“Kak, I want to grab things yes.”

“You're home now?” tanya Tyo who looked busy behind her desk.

“Iya. Maybe look at mommy first to the hospital.”

“I first call the driver to transport your goods.”

Nadin sat on the sofa, still looking at the screen of his phone. Hope to get in chat from Juna. Though he saw Juna had just gone online an hour ago. ‘Maybe he hasn't had time to reply chat,’ he thought.

However, for some reason Nadin felt something he had never felt before. There is a worry in my heart. He still continues to think that it all comes from a sense of longing, because he has never not met his girlfriend in a long time.

“Oiya, I've cleared your schedule for the next few days. You rest first yes.”

After a few seconds, Tyo still did not get any response from Nadin. While glancing at the woman, he found her staring at the phone with a blank look.

“Nadin?”

“Iya, Brother?”

“You do not hear my words

just now?”

“Denger, really. Again call the driver here, right?”

“No, Brother. If tired anyway yes.”

“Ya you have taken a break. In the next few days I have cleared the schedule.”

“OK. Thanks, Brother.”

Nadin looked back pensively staring at the phone until he got into the car, and during the trip. When the car stopped at a red light, he suddenly thought of changing his destination. “Pak, stop by DCM first yes,” he told the driver.

Nadin types a series of messages to Juna, informing him that he will stop by his place. But the chat only ticked one.

“Juna is in the room huh?” nadin asked the DCM receptionist.

“If not wrong have gone daritadi anyway, Mba.”

“There is work?”

“Hm. But Mr. Ardit is in the room, anyway.” Mr. Ardit is Juna's manager. Of course he won't

it's in his office if Juna's out there.

“Eh, you know where Mas Juna went?” ask the female receptionist, to a colleague who has been focusing on a computer screen since.

“It seems to go home with his girlfriend,” replied the male receptionist. He had not realized at all that Nadin had just arrived.

The female receptionist directly hit her partner's back—so she looked back. “Aduh, what, anyway!” his protest. Then he stood up somewhat surprised when he realized Nadin's whereabouts. “Eh, noon, Mba Nadin.”

“Tadi Juna went who did it?”

“Em, I don't know, anyway. But it looks the same as a woman. I thought I was Mba Nadin.”

“Oh..

Finally, Nadin turned towards the entrance, intending to return to the car park. He checks Juna's chat which still seems unread.

This time, Nadin began to feel anxious, because it is not usually Juna to not tell at all. If he was busy, he would have told me.

Feelings of anxiety became more and more so, until Nadin was back in the car. “Now directly to the hospital, Mba?” ask the driver.

“Sorry, Sir. I want to stop by Kak Juna's apartment first yes.”

Cars also sped through the streets of the capital that was quite stretchy today. The sky is a bit cloudy making the air not feel too hot. Things that make everyone feel comfortable. Not so for Nadin.

Nadin stepped up rather quickly as he descended in front of the apartment lobby. Then we headed towards the elevator. Wait impatiently as everything is still being used.

As the left elevator opened, Nadin sped up quickly. Unknowingly there was a person who had just come out from inside there. A beautiful, tall woman with long hair. They collided quite hard. Fortunately, they did not make both fall.

“Aduh, careful, dong!” snapped the flaming red lipstick woman with a ketus. Nadin who felt guilty nodded while apologizing.

The elevator went up and stopped on the twentyth floor. Nadin hurried to the last room. Then press the bell.

After hearing no response from the owner, he went back to doing the same. Just then, there was the sound of a key being opened from within. Made Nadin feel a little relieved.

Juna's face was visible from behind the door. He was somewhat surprised to see Nadin suddenly appear in front of the door of his apartment.

“You okay, Babe?” ask Nadin directly. He was also somewhat surprised to see Juna's face looking pale.

“Why not tell me if you want to come here?”

“Udah! You yourself did not reply.”

“Oh, my phone looks dead. Forgot charged.”

Nadin went into Juna's apartment. Withstand the questions that he wanted to ask until he finished locking the door and returned to the living room.

Without saying anything, Nadin held onto Juna's forehead which turned out to be hot. His face looks very pale. The white t-shirt she was wearing was dampened by sweat.

“You sick huh? Already eaten? Any medications?”

Frantic Nadin started walking here and there, looking for the medicine box in each drawer.

Juna just kept quiet and walked over with shaky steps. He immediately hugged Nadin from behind, and leaned on the little shoulder of the lover while closing his eyes. “Later also healed,” he said slowly.

“You must have forgotten not to take vitamins yes, until collapse like gini.”

“Perhaps the effects have not seen you for a long time.”.

Nadin laughed a little. The anxiety he felt was slowly disappearing. ‘It turns out that the effects miss,’ thought.

“I miss you too.”
