Love Is Not Enough
Chapter.101

"Sorry.. It seems like I can not come on that date, I was invited by Bastian.He will sing at one event and I play his guitar.Yes, right?But I'll definitely take the time to meet Darwin and Aunt Mel...It's on the same date again..." Bening read Daniel's invitation and asked Bastian to support his reason for not attending

"Yes, but if you want to go there is nothing by.." said Bastian with a smile then he gave a code to Daniel not to answer.

"That's the hotel you want to renovate or what?"chirps Meva.

"Have my family.."Daniel answered politely.

"Oh... When does it wake up?How did you arrive to be disarmed?I mean, during the process you didn't go home?"Meva felt ashamed of herself with her eager spirit.He looked at them one by one who looked at her with various expressions.

"Yes, during this time my daddy who went back and forth to Jakarta Bali to take care of everything.."though not expecting to be asked like that but Daniel still answered the question.

"Hotelnya already two Mev in Jakarta.." added Bastian.

"Ooh... Continue after this want to stay in Jakarta or want to go back to sono?"Meva was constantly asking.

"Where's sono?what do you obviously want?"joked Bening with a smile but then embarrassed himself because Daniel returned his smile.

"Until now the most comfortable place I've ever lived was Bali, your best friend knows what?"Daniel answered clearly.

"No, I don't know.."sambar Bening.

"You never told me, I used to say that..."Daniel tried to remind his sister of his memory.

"That's yeah?I forgot. 'cause it's been a long time.." answered Bening.

"Nothing, dek.."so Daniel still with his smile even though in his heart still feel disappointed with the words of his sister.

Mbak Yuyu was busy cleaning the dishes after they finished eating.The atmosphere of silence began to hit, when Bening received a phone call.He stood up to receive it.

"Hallo, good afternoon, brother." he said, then away from the three.

Daniel can guess who called.Surely from Malvin, he thought.

"Mev..is your brother nanyain?He wants to come get you.." said Bening who sat back with them.

"You're Malvin's sister?"ask Daniel.

"Yes, how do you know?"ask Meva.

"She's my friend.Oh..so her sister, the anaesthetic specialist, is you?"said Daniel.

"Yes, right.. wow, I guess the world is so narrow?"timpal Meva's.

"meaning?"ask Bastian.

"Yes, we are here friends.Those who live abroad are also so.We often tell stories about them uh, it turns out they also tell us"obviously Meva whereas Bening and Bastian were just looking at her in wonder with her innocence.

"You don't want me to take you, because I also want to go to your house.."bid Daniel because he didn't want Malvin to see his sister.

He is okay to leave Bening there with Bastian rather than Malvin because he knows how his best friend's obsession with Bening.He also thinks to meet him and talk about everything even though their friendship is the bet.

"Maybe.." fortunately Meva did not reject his invitation so she did not have to think hard to prevent Malvin from going there.

"Dek..i say yes, Bas.."Daniel reminded Bastian.Ia had invited the singer to fill the event at the inauguration of his hotel.

"Don't forget what, brother?"Suddenly I want to know.

"Don't forget to come maybe.."guess Bastian.

"Says there's another show?"ask Bening.

"Yes, it will be cultivated...oh yes, after the event I will go to Italy.There is a project there.You want not to join?"ask Bastian

"You really want, brother.but my job, how?"bening.daniel stroked her hair.

"When you want to take a vacation.."She said the young man.He really hopes this time Bening would take his time.But still there is always a reason.

"I'm sorry, I'm not. If I'm still in Indonesia, I'll try to come along..."Bening felt bad to continue rejecting Bastian's invitation to vacation abroad.

"It's okay.I go home first yes, her sister Meva did not come right?No more reason dong, come?"Bening felt strange about Bastian's question.

With Daniel that's not the reaction.

"Yes, I already wa earlier.Maybe not come.." replied Bening.

"Coconce possible?Must've dong,by? You need to rest..."The truth feels strange.

"Yes, yes, I will tell you that he is still here .." said Bening.He then went into his room to rest.He again contemplated his attitude towards Daniel.The girl closed her eyes trying to deepen his true feelings.

For many years he and Bastian have always spent time together.Many things have been done for each of them.A lot of attention and affection that Bastian has poured out for him.But his feelings have not changed, it remains the same as when they were in Bali and it is what makes it continue to be haunted by feelings of guilt.

Bening felt comfortable being near Bastian, he loved him maybe because the young man was like a brother to him.

Now, Daniel returned home and explained everything.Meskupun Daniel told the truth but he decided no longer want to live in the shadow of their togetherness in Bali.

Even fear comes back to haunt.

He was afraid that he would deny his decision especially after knowing how Daniel felt about him.Not because Daniel said it a few days ago but he had opened the box, the box he had left in his bag and had returned it.

Bening chose not to be nice to Daniel so as not to return to his attention.He also wants to focus on living his commitment that has not even been a month.Commitment to learn to fall in love with other men and if there is an opportunity for them to change their friendship status all this time he wanted to give it a try.

But what if Malvin says it first instead of Bastian?Because the young man continued to communicate with him and he could read his meaning.Even though he had just known Malvin,he believes the young man is a good and responsible person.Buktinya he never despair with the events of last year when he refused to meet him even though he had sacrificed his time.Communication both so far is not boring because I felt like I was discovering something new.

The girl turned her body around in fear.

"Where are you going?neat really?"daniel asked when he got out of the car and met Malvin.He saw the young man holding his car keys like he was about to travel.

"Well, how did you guys get along?"ask him without answering Malvin's question.

"So we were together in her house Bening.I also just found out earlier you guys turned out to be friends.." Meva.

"meaning?"Malvin scrunched up his forehead not understanding.

"Later I told you..To the hotel yuk, there's something I want to discuss with you..."Daniel took Malvin by the shoulder and took him to the car.

"But I want to go out.."reject Malvin.

"You want to see Dr. Bening, right? Later after we have a discussion.Ngak not long kok.ini emergency so it can not be delayed..."Malvin also reluctantly obeyed Daniel's will.
