My First Night With My Boss
54. Can I Forget It

Lyra's separation from Rigel will be an opportunity for Axel to return to hope. Between grieving and also being happy for Axel. Saddened to see Lyra grieving over her separation from Rigel. Happy because Axel can again expect a woman whose status is now not in the possession of any man. But that does not mean Axel even said what should not be said at the wrong time. Axel regrets having said things that should not have been said, when Lyra was in need of a place to lean but instead made things uncomfortable for him.

"For what I said, I'm sorry. Don't take it seriously, let's just say a joke, "Axel said when he pulled his car over in front of Lyra's house.

Lyra. "Eitherway. Do you really not want to see me as a friend?"

"Do you want our friendship back again. If that's what you want, I'm willing for us to go back the way we used to."

Lyra smile. "Of course I want our friendship to be the way it used to be."

Axel returned his smile. "Okay, our relationship will go back to how it was. I'm glad you smile like that."

Maybe for Lyra, Axel is just a friend. But for Axel, Lyra is not just his best friend. Except for the most special woman in his life and heart. Maybe his friendship will return to what it used to be, but that does not mean Axel decided his hope to encode Lyra as his whole and make the relationship to a special stage of the relationship. Because if we continue to hope, maybe that hope will one day be realized. And now the hope is even greater, because now Lyra no longer belongs to another man.

...****************...

Days after parting ways with Rigel, Lyra rarely smiles. His face kept showing his own expression. And for days also Lyra rarely spoke with anyone, even with her parents though Lyra rarely spoke at length. Not because of anger he did not want to speak but because his heart was still sad for his separation with Rigel. Maybe the relationship is only intertwined in a short time, but Rigel is a man who has made his life very meaningful. Until now in his heart still stored the name Rigel. Because of his farewell, Lyra's days were no longer anything special.

When Lyra misses Rigel, every night she reads old messages from Rigel on her phone. And every time Lyra always cried. Never once did Lyra not cry when she remembered Rigel, especially when she last saw Rigel who was angry after Lyra kissed Axel.

Lyra longed to regret for hurting Rigel's heart, but that regret could not be felt because the step he took was the best thing he thought.

Then after days of Lyra parting ways with Rigel and after days of Lyra resigning from her job, Lyra now gets a new job at one of the leading companies. His work returned to being part of marketing in the company.

And for weeks, Lyra still dissolved in her grief. In order to forget Rigel, Lyra always busy herself with her work. Maybe Lyra's weekend is off from her job at the office, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to. He preoccupied himself on weekends by helping his parents at the restaurant. His father and mother always forbade him to go to the restaurant.

From then on Lyra no longer went to gather with Agni and Nata, because she always preoccupied herself with her workers. Lyra always refused the invitation from her friends, especially Agni's invitation. Because every time Agni asks her to meet, her friend always asks Lyra to go back to Rigel. Even Nata always persuaded Lyra to return to the man who still inhabited her heart.

Then one weekend, secretary Rigel came to the diner. To make Lyra wonder with the arrival of the secretary of her former lover. Because this time Lyra saw Ryan coming to the restaurant owned by his parents. To make Lyra feel suspicious about the arrival of Ryan. But even though Lyra suspects him, Lyra still serves him like other visitors in general.

"Can I talk to you for a minute" Ryan said as Lyra placed her order.

Lyra. "Did you come here because Rigel was told to."

Ryan nodded quickly. "No, I deliberately came here of my own accord. There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Can't we both fight to get what we want."

Instantly both of Lyra's eyebrows flinched. "What do you mean, both fighting for what?" Asked wonderfully.

"You still want Rigel, don't you. Why don't you want to keep your relationship? I want Agni, and we can both fight for them. You go back to Rigel sir and I'll get Agni."

Lyra gave a rough sigh. "People like us are not worthy of being with them. You better erase that wish."

"For what to remove it, Agni and I like each other including you with Rigel sir. Therefore I must struggle to express my feelings towards him before later regretting. I'm sure you'll be able to maintain your relationship if you want to go back to Rigel sir. And right now Mr. Rigel is still thinking about you, it's a chance for you to come back to him before you regret."

Lyra shuffled from her seat. "If you don't come here to eat but only to talk about Rigel, you better get out of here because I'm so busy serving you to talk."

"Because you separated Mr. Sandy and his parents Agni will accelerate their marriage" Ryan raised his voice.

When Lyra's steps stopped, she gasped in shock after hearing what Ryan said. He turned to look at Ryan with his eyes closed.

"That's much better. Because the sooner they get married, the sooner I'll get over it."

Lyra then rushed to go out of the restaurant while carrying her bag. After hearing that Rigel and Agni's marriage was about to accelerate, his heart was deeply wounded. He wanted to cry loudly after hearing it, but he could stand it as much as he could. Because for what to cry, in the end will remain the same relationship will not be able to re-twine. Despite being intertwined, Lyra would never be happy if she did not get the blessing of her father Rigel.

Lyra walked without knowing where she was heading. In the end, his steps unknowingly went to the place where Lyra had once been with Rigel. Just by coming to that place, finally Lyra can let go of longing after a long time she did not meet the man who always inhabited her heart the deepest.Too longing and too sick Lyra remembered Rigel to make it can no longer stem her tears.

For a long time he remained silent in that place, unaware Lyra came home at a time that was almost late at night. At home, his parents still do not sleep because they may wait for the return of his beloved daughter, even Axel was also present waiting for Lyra at home. Everyone showed their anxious look when they looked at Lyra.

"Where did it come from? I called you earlier but you didn't answer me" said Axel.

Lyra's face looked pale, her head was dizzy, so her vision was blurred. Instead of answering Axel's question, Lyra instead stood in place with both corners of her eyes twitching.

"Are you okay Lyra?" Axel asked as he touched his arm. But when on the touch, his body temperature is not like a healthy person in general. "It looks like you've got a fever."

Instantly Lyra's consciousness disappeared, causing her to fall on Axel's body. In the end both his parents and his best friend were made to panic by Lyra.
