“Ai ..?”
“Come home ...,” Ai aligns herself beside Naja, but remains distant. He knew to keep his distance from Naja, if he didn't want Naja to run away from him. Ai's head is a little interested in the back, “Ngga embarrassed to be seen by many people if making a scene here?” whispered Ai when she saw Naja widen her eyelids full.
“Ai ... please ..!” please Naja with teary eyes, he no longer knows how to deal with Ai, which according to Naja is a bit excessive. But Ai—no matter— just opened his hand to let Naja step first.
“We talk again outside, okay ..!” ai said irrefutably, he took advantage of the situation that was on his side, because the salon employees were still watching them both.
Just exhale, it's useless to avoid Ai now. Something he had never done in all this time, which was there, he had always hoped to be with Ai. In strict control by Ai, Naja stepped out of the salon.
Ai looked back at Naja's head with an unreadable expression, she just wanted to keep looking at Naja, seeing her love. Sesal was so strong that he broke his heart, yes .. he should now be happy with Naja somewhere, a place that no one could find.
“Guide me to your house, Na ..!” the door while circling the body of his white car to open the car door for Naja, while Naja with his new appearance, just stared at the behavior of Ai who was always sweet as usual. In the past, Ai reached out her hand to help Naja ride his sport bike. Rainy, hot, but Naja never complained, with Ai he was always happy. Even when crammed in angkot— when Ai motor seized by Bu Linda—Naja never mind. Ai even at that time could have brought his papa's car, but, he chose a motorcycle that was cooler than the car.
“Na .. one day, we will sit together in my luxury car, not overheating, rain, or crammed like this,” Ai promises when protecting Naja from the insistence of other passengers, he said, that time.
With a smile Naja responded to a promise that at that time was nothing more than the bragging of a final grade High School boy, “I'm sure you and I were already different people .
“Different you ... I don't, I remain Ai who always loves you,” concluded Ai with a reassuring smile as usual.
Naja lowered his head, remembering that time, his tears rolled back into his face. He remembered very well at that time, there was a trace of doubt about Ai's words .. Given their age was still too young to utter anything serious related to the future. She did not expect Ai to actually keep her word. Although in Naja's heart, he still loves Ai very much, but the status and blessing that makes them now different. Aye ... Only different, while Ai ... is still Ai who loves him.
The touch on Naja's shoulder forced Naja's hand to wipe away the trace of her tears. Turns away. “I'll change your money .. and we don't have to meet. Let's just say we never knew each other.”
Ai smiled cynically, hearing the loud words from Naja. “You are so cruel, Na ... how can I do that, hem?” Ai puts herself in front of Naja. “If you can not cry or throw your face in front of me .. I will do as you ask, but if there's just one tear coming out of the corner of your eye or you turn away when we cross paths, I'll keep going this way, but I'm still sure we have the same feeling.”
Telak and dead-end .. it feels like Naja is constrained by Ai's feelings, feelings that should no longer exist, but Ai is right, Naja can not deny .. that when he looked deeper, he looked deeper, love for Ai is still there. However, Naja was determined to survive the marriage that somehow fate later, he did not want to guess too far.
“Ai ... please understand ... You will only make things difficult for me, any feelings we have in the past will not be able to change the current state.”
“Can ... if you want to keep making that sense always there and live in your heart ..”
“But I don't want to, Ai .. that's the same as I'm wishing my husband!”
Ai sighed, “Na .. You killed your feelings and forced to love your husband, it sure makes your husband disappointed, men do not like when his woman is forced to love him.”
Naja was silent, cornered, and everything Ai said was true. Naja's eyelids closed so tightly as her heart that was suppressing such a strong feeling churned. Naja forced his eyes open, after a while, “I am not forced or forced to force my feelings .. I just want us to be out of touch. You and I are not bound in any relationship .. We are just another person.”.
“Baiklah ... Orang‐Lain,” Ai emphasized the words of others, “let This Other Man drive you to your destination, just assume I happen to find you, Other Person!” Ai stared intently at Naja who was still unmoved looking at her. He understood that Naja was upset because of his actions, he knew that the more he forced himself on Naja, the more he would stay away from him. He took one step back to jump two steps closer. And that's what he's gonna do now.
“I pusher, Others .. I think a call from your phone asks you to come immediately.” Ai pulled her bead towards the bag that had since crossed over in Naja's chest. The ringing of mobile phones has been heard repeatedly since then but Naja ignored it. Impatiently, Ai pushed Naja's body towards the car with her steps, she did not touch Naja at all.
“Remember Ai ... This is the last one!” naja firmly with a glare of eyes full of warning, before putting his body in the car.
**
“Thank you, Ai ..” said Naja flatly without turning a single look at Ai when they got in front of Sam's fashion house. He removed his seat belt and grabbed the door, after Ai did not reply to his speech.
“Sama-sama, Miss ...,” Ai smiled briefly, her face looking indifferent to Naja. “No need to thank, Miss ... I just help you, close the door after you get off, and hurry up .. I'm in a hurry ..”
Naja let out a long sigh, he immediately came down, closed the door and moved away, but he still stared at Ai's departure until it vanished from sight.
“Former girlfriend?” sam's voice cut open Naja's ear.
New tiptoe, “Mas Sam ..!” he looked with perfect eyes.
Sam was excited to see Naja's expression that was so upset, “lo funny if you are angry and shocked like this ..!” Sam reached out his hand to scramble Naja's hair. “eh .. wait,” Sam's fingers hang in front of Naja's forehead, then Sam surrounded Naja while scanning it full. She looks mature with her shoulder hair.
“Why, Mas?” He followed Sam by turning his head.
Sam shook his head, “ngga no .. lo not as usual aja ...”
“Any huh, Mas?” Naja saw himself, even he pulled the end of a yellow-flowered vine-patterned dress, until it expanded, he was sure he looked strange at this time with his hair straight.
“Ngga also ... come ..!” Sam broke his head to the side.
Naja's forehead wrinkled, “where?”
Sam, who was walking towards the car, turned around again. “Meet Tristanlah .. therefore if on the phone, answered.”
“But Mas, I haven't finished what he asked for yesterday."
“We will talk about 1 other thing with him, stop .. let's go, Tristan does not like to wait.”
Just immediately followed Sam who had already gotten into the car, right, Tristan is not a person who likes to waste time on anything. Although he did not fully understand the purpose of meeting them this time.
