Love, I Surrender
Pretend Friendly

Arga just stared at the screen of his phone then put it back down. “I have no interest in answering,” said Arga.

“Halahh, if there is no I also answered.”

“Whisper, spend your food.”

Arga was serious about his words, in fact he was lazy to meet and return to deal with Renata. Worried that he couldn't control his feelings.

Meeting more intensely with women from his past allows a return to his ever-present flavor.

Arga looked at Karin, reassuring her heart if this woman before him was his wife. He had to give it a chance and learn to accept Karin.

“Ahhh, I'm full. Better tomorrow Mr. Arga belaja deh, if you keep ordering food like this I can get fat,” complained Karin while rubbing her stomach.

“Not that you can't cook?”

“Can if only simple menu.” Karin tidied up the package and the rest of the food, while Arga chose to sit on the sofa while opening his phone. There was a message coming in from Renata, but Arga ignored it.  

Arga went to his room, Karin herself had already entered his room. Both of them slept in separate rooms.

...***...

Karin and Arga were already in the car heading to the office, both silent during the trip.  Arga accidentally wakes up early and waits for Karin as she does not want to set off apart which will lead to new issues regarding her relationship with Karin.

“Remember, today was your last internship. Make sure you hand over all documents and files,” said Arga.

“Hm,” said Karin who came out immediately after removing her seatbelt.

Arga rushed to follow Karin's steps, moreover he saw Abil who approached and greeted Karin. Not wanting the two to get more familiar, Arga immediately embraced Karin's shoulder.

“Ayo,” invite Arga.

Karin scrunched her forehead, then turned to look at Arga's hand which was on her shoulder.

“Street,” whispered Arga.

“Tumbenan put it this way,” lirih Karin.

The employees let Arga and Karin first use the elevator, reasoned to wait for another elevator. Currently there were only the two of them inside the elevator, Arga immediately lowered his hand.

“Pak Arga why the hell?”

“Means?”

“Tadi, embrace me. The feeling of the skit is only in front of parents, why in the office also ..”

“I just keep the image of our relationship,” interrupted Arga, not telling the truth if he does not want Karin to be close to his coworkers.

“No doubt,” murmured Karin who is still heard by Arga.

The elevator opens on the floor to Karin's destination, as she steps Arga to hold Karin's hand.

“We had lunch together, meet me in the room,” Arga said.

“Oke.”

According to Arga's instructions, Karin also completed her task so that later in the afternoon she could hand over her work. It didn't feel like it was time for lunch, as Abil reminded Karin and took her to the cafeteria.

“Hm, I had lunch with Mr. Arga,” Karin said.

“Owh, okay. Have fun yes,” Abil said while chuckling.

Lunch hours like this, the elevator is always full because almost some employees use to go to the cafeteria downstairs or out looking for another menu. As he exited the elevator he walked along the corridor towards Arga's room, even his secretary's desk was empty signaling the woman was resting.

“Renata,” says Karin.

Brakes.

“Hai, dear,” Karin said as she walked up to Arga and sat on her husband's lap. “We so lunch ‘kan?” tanyakanya.

Arga was speechless in surprise, not expecting Karin to be so flirtatious.

Renata who was sitting in front of the table Arga stared cynically at the couple.

“Eh, there is Mbak Renata,” said Karin shyly.

“Despite your husband and wife, but this is the office and I am here as a client of the company Arga,” said Renata.

“Pak Arga dong time Arga doang. Although you have had a relationship in the past but this is the office,” said Karin.

Arga cleared his throat to relieve the desire to laugh at the debate Karin and Renata.

“It looks like the talk we continue next time.” Renata stood up and extended his hand to greet Arga but instead Karin welcomed the hand.

“Rubber, next time only. We will be busy after this,” Karin cetus.

“Renata, you should follow the procedure of submission of cooperation as usual. Don't talk about this directly with me. Even your father used to follow the flow that applies in this company,” explained Arga.

“OK, I'm sorry.”

After making sure Renata was out of sight, Karin moved from Arga's lap.

“Why wake up?”

“Udah finished the drama. I'm hungry, where's lunch?” ask Karin.

“Another moment is also delivered.”

“Still a long time no, to the canteen. I was hungry this morning not breakfast,” whine Karin.

The new Arga will answer but is interrupted by the knock of the door. It turns out that the office boy brought Arga's order. Karin received plastic containing two lunch boxes with two cups of drinks from one of the famous restaurants.

“Wah, so good nih.”

Arga washed his hands and folded the sleeves of the shirt he was wearing up to his elbows. The seat has been since Karin arrived, draped on the back of the chair. The man sat down next to Karin who had started to enjoy her meal.

“Hm, it's delicious loh.”

“Do not talk at meal.”

Arga deliberately invites Karin to eat with him, rather than having to watch his wife laugh with other men. Though in his heart he questioned why he should care about it. Obviously he and Karin do not love each other, jealousy does not feel like.

Unlike Karin and Arga who are going through together with lunch together. Renata who has been driving, cursed to see the intimacy of Karin and Arga.

“They were on purpose or how the hell? Very rese. Arga is also very rigid, when I have to submit proposals through ordinary channels. Can't do anything directly through him,” said Renata monologue.

“It looks like I have to persuade or make Devan take Karin, so I can go back to Arga. However I am Arga's first love and I am sure he still harbors his feelings, can even be seen from the look in his eyes every look at me.”
