"why is the atmosphere so this giggly. since then kak izal just silent. I don't know why I feel like he's mad at me." Inner ayu.
Ayu is now in the car alone with izal.
Izal chose ayu who accompanied him to a sponsorship meeting. Though previously the position was only filled by diyah.
"Did I just start talking? Looks like I should apologize to izal." Inner ayu.
"Ehem.."
"Are you bored? We'll be there soon. You don't have to be nervous. Just be by my side and I'll finish as soon as possible."
"But sir.."
"We arrived. Let's get down."
Izal deliberately did not want to hear ayu's opinion.
Although it looks caring, but all day long the attitude of izal on ayu is very cold.
When the izal spare quietly put an isotonic drink on the table without saying a word.
Ayu who was surprised did not even have time to say thank you, izal has returned to his place.
"Sir izal.." muttered ayu sadly while holding a drink giving izal.
"Maybe with me drinking this, he'll be happy. All right I'll spend it. Look brother. I'm so grateful for this gift of yours." Inner ayu
"Glek glek glek.."
Sure enough, izal glanced at ayu who was drinking with a satisfied look.
As their eyes met, izal quickly turned his attention back to the paper on his desk.
Time to get home from work. Ayu is tidying up her desk. No exception to all staff. Izal was out 30 minutes earlier.
"Let's hang out yuk." said fely
"Yes.we want to hear your story about this morning how could anyone?" Pronounce
"What's? Last morning?"
Fely pointed at ayu's palm.
"Geez they saw it." Inner ayu.
"There is no connection between me and Izal sir." Say ayu.
Suddenly a voice sounded
Brak! Brak! Brak!
Fely, ima and ayu were both shocked and turned to the origin of the voice.
Diyah was tidying her desk with a bent face.
"I'll go home first." Diyah left the room just like that.
"It seems . ah no it's not like it anymore. But it's for sure that diyah is jealous." Fely
"Yes, I agree." Ima
"Jealous? Did he like izal's sister?" Inner ayu.
Drrt..
Kemal called to inform him that he was already in front of the office .
"I'm sorry I'm first .." said ayu.
"Oh ok. ati-ati yeah.."
"Yes.."
Not until I stepped her foot out of the building. Suddenly his phone rang again.
"Geez why that man is impatient anyway.this is me walking.."
Ayu checked her phone and it was not from kemal but izal.
"Hello.."
"Can you help me now? Please get me the file in the green folder on my desk and drop it to cafe xxx."
"Good.."
---
"I'm sorry I'm overtime today.."
"really? Until what time is it? I'll pick you up."
"I don't know for sure, but I'll be able to get home in a taxi.."
"Hmm yaudah whenever you call me I'll be ready to pick you up."
"Thank you ."
"Don't eat late . I'll go home first.."
"Yes."
"This file. Excuse me."
"Wait ayu. Isn't there something you should explain to me? I think it's the right time. There's still an hour before I meet the sponsor."
Ayu was silent for a moment until she finally decided to sit face to face with the man
Izal seemed to wait for ayu to start talking.
"I'm actually married brother. Sorry for not saying it in the first place. I got married because..."
Ayu told me everything that happened from the beginning because why she had to get married.
Once he felt he had told enough, he waited for a response from izal.
The man smiled faintly.
"Why is he smiling? Is my story funny?" Inner ayu
"Oh sorry ayu I didn't mean to smile at that forced marriage. But I'm now relieved that I finally have a chance."
"A chance?"
"Yes.. chance to get your heart ayu. I know that you liked me for a long time right? I'm the same, actually."
"What's? Then why not say that a long time ago? Why can you also have a relationship with another woman?"
"I was forced out of fear that if we dated and broke up halfway and we would become strangers to each other. I purposely kept this friendship in order to continue with you ayu."
"I didn't expect you to be this coward, brother? Huh! You didn't even give me a chance. You are always busy introducing other women in front of me when you like me. Is that what you call love? You know I must be jealous. Yep! I was jealous at that time. Very very jealous. But as time went on, the long-standing liking faded. Because I knew that I wouldn't be able to be with you."
"No ayu. We can still start over. I'm really sorry for my stupidity. From the past until now I still love you."
"But I'm married brother.."
"I'll wait for you to part."
Ayu was stunned to hear izal's words just now.
"It's not that easy, brother, because this marriage is not about me and a man but my family and his family as well, we've come together."
Izal could not speak anymore.
"Sorry brother it's been almost an hour, I'm leaving now. Excuse me." Ayu go out the cafe.
The woman tried to hold back her tears from before in front of izal.
After coming out of the cafe, her tears came out of the corner of her eyes.
"Sir is stupid! Really stupid!" His inner.
The woman walked slowly because it was dark.
Suddenly someone grabbed his hand from behind.
"Wait ayu.." izal tried to catch his breath because he was just chasing ayu.
Sontak ayu immediately rubbed his cheek.
"Why is izal here?"
"I'm taking you."
"No need for a sister to have a meeting."
"I'm already postponing tomorrow because there's something more important than that."
"Sir izal.."
"You're ayu.."
Izal hugged the woman tightly. As if not wanting to let go of his embrace.
"Please off brother. This is not true.I'm married brother.."
"I know you don't love her. Tell me you love me ayu!"
"I can't anymore brother.I'm sorry.."
"You don't know how desperate I was when you found out you were married. I feel like I just want to end my life. But I was thinking again that you might not be happy with your current marriage, right? That's my only reason to stay up until this second ayu!"
"What if I told you that I'm happy with my current marriage, Izal's gonna stop liking me?"
"Yes, maybe I'll let you go. Because seeing you happy I'll be happy too." Izal let go of his embrace.
"All right then. I'll just say once that I'm happy with my marriage. I am sorry for not inviting my sister and her friends because the wedding was only attended by nuclear family. So brother izal I pray that brother can also soon find the happiness of his real brother. I assume today nothing happened and we can behave as usual in the office."
"That's you think ayu, but not for me. I'm gonna keep liking you and don't force me to stop."
Ayu was tired of repeating her words again. He could only keep quiet hearing izal's words just now.
"Well let me take you home."
Izal clasped a soft ayu hand.
