My Perfect Stranger's
Need to Talk

Friska has gathered with her friends. Tasya and Naura had been waiting for the girl since. Friska did tell them to go to the cafeteria first because she had to pick up Vano first.

"Fris, what was Mr Andre talking about? I just saw her come to our room for the first time" Tasya asked after Friska ordered her food

Friska thought for a while before answering the friend's question. He doesn't want to tell the truth about Ardigo. Friska had wanted to tell Tasya and Naura about who Ardigo really was, but failed because Tasya had already taken him to the cafeteria. And upon thought, he canceled his intention to tell Tasya. Because it is useless that she recognizes Ardigo as her husband, while the man does not necessarily want to admit it. It's unfair to admit someone who doesn't want to admit it

"Nothing, just a matter of work" Friska replied casually

"What kind of work does it take to get him to see you in person?" timpal Naura hesitated at Friska's words

"He just told me as a representative of all the interns that our CEO requires all of us to have breakfast before going to the office. He told me to pass it on to you all. And Mr. Andre also asked about our internship that has been running for several days, whether there are obstacles or not. That's all it is"

"really? is our CEO a very considerate person?" tasya was amazed

"It seems so" replied Friska briefly

"Surely his wife loved him very much" Naura said

"No!" spontaneously Friska replied, making Tasya and Naura look at her strangely

"I-I mean we don't know anyone else's household. It's possible that Mr. Ardigo has an annoying nature that we don't know about, which sometimes makes his wife upset" Friska explained

"Yes, yes, sometimes what we see is not necessarily the same as reality" said Naura, who was later adopted by Tasya

"Ah for what we are talking about Mr. Ardigo, it does not matter either" said Friska coinciding with the food that has arrived

"Let's eat" Tasya said

While eating, suddenly three men approached their table.

"Excuse me, can we join you here? there was no more empty table" asked one of the men. They are students who are also interning here

"Oh of course you can, please" said Naura

"Thank you" They sat down and enjoyed their meals

Small talk began to flow from them all during the meal. Even when they had finished eating, they were still busy chatting with occasional laughs. The warmth did not escape the pair of eyes that had been staring at them since.

"Are they interns here too?" heri's question followed Ardigo's direction

"Hm"

Heri laughed a little at the gurgle of the friend. That made Ardigo turn to look at him as if asking 'why?'

"Hey, don't look at him like that. They're just co-workers and fellow students"

"What are you talking about?" ardigo said evasively

"You're jealous, right, seeing them? basic possessive!" Heri still faithfully laughed at Ardigo

"Don't make things up. I didn't see it"

"Yes, let's just say I believe"

Ardigo no longer replied to Heri. The man was silent with an indecipherable look

"If you're having trouble with him, talk about it right away. Solve your problems and don't let them drag on. I see it looks like your wife is a person who can communicate well. If you're wrong, apologize immediately" Heri concluded

"If he keeps avoiding me how?"

"Of course you have to try harder to get him to talk to you. He won't be able to escape if you're in front of him. Most importantly, do not use violence"

"Yes" replied Ardigo briefly. But in his heart he digested Heri's words well

"That's not knowing. Actually who's a widower here me or you?" ledek Heri

"Hmm it's up to you. I have a wife but I don't know how to treat her well. It's better that she be my wife" Heri's lips make Ardigo look at her annoyed

*****

The break was over, the employees had returned to their respective rooms. The atmosphere of the cafeteria that had been crowded slowly began to be quiet

Ardigo had already returned to his great chair and sat down with his head lowered and fingers intertwined. Heri had already left and returned to his office a few minutes ago

After enduring a few minutes in such a position, he suddenly straightened his head and grabbed the phone handle on the table

"Call the pantry to make me coffee and have Friska deliver it" Ardigo told Andre. After saying that he put the phone back where it was

He had already decided to talk to Friska and apologize to the girl. Ardigo accidentally gets Friska to come with an alibi to deliver coffee for her due to considering something

While waiting for Friska's arrival, Ardigo busied himself with the files that had piled up on the table. A few minutes later the sound of knocking on the door was heard. Ardigo straightened his head and stared at the wide door leaf in white

"Lake in!" ardigo's Order

The door opened and a woman carrying a coffee tray appeared. Ardigo was surprised because that figure was not the person he was waiting for

"Why did you drive him?" ardigo asked the office girl

"Sorry sir, Miss Friska asked me to help deliver your coffee because she suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom" she explained

Damnit damnit! he purposely avoided me. Inner Ardigo

"Yes, put it on my table"

"Okay sir" after that the girl immediately decided to come out

Ardigo let out a rough breath and gently massaged the base of his nose. He was thinking of a way to talk to Friska right away. He wanted to go to his wife's room and bring her here, but he hesitated to remember something.

"Aishhh I don't care!" said Ardigo, then immediately stepped out of the room quickly

He got off in the elevator and immediately headed for the bathroom near Friska's room hoping she was still there. Ardigo pretended to play his phone while standing some distance away from the bathroom. Shortly thereafter he saw Friska coming out of there. In his heart he almost cheered as his efforts bore fruit

It seems Friska was unaware of Ardigo's presence there. After ensuring safety, Ardigo approached Friska and blocked her wrist

"Geez!" Friska was very surprised by Ardigo's sudden action. He almost wanted to snap at even hit the person who already dared to be insolent towards him

Upon noticing who was holding her hand, Friska suddenly fell silent with a flat face. The awkward and uncomfortable feeling was immediately felt. How not, the person he was avoiding at this moment actually stood right in front of him. After a few moments of glances, Friska immediately turned her face to the side

"Let go of my hand sir!" said Friska politely as she remembered this at the office

"No. We have to talk" Ardigo said firmly

"I don't want to talk to you. Anyway this is in the office "reject Friska

"But I want to talk to you, and I don't care because this is my office"

"I don't want to. Release!" Friska looked at Ardigo sharply but did not dampen the man's intentions

"We need to talk Friska. Come on, come to my room!" Ardigo began to pull Friska's hand. She clasped Friska's hand tightly but did not hurt the girl

"I don't want to!" Friska pulled her hand. And there was a scene of attraction between a couple of husband and wife

"Friska!" someone's call stopped them both. They look closely at the source of the sound. Friska looks shocked and anxious, very different from Ardigo who is relaxed and without burden

To be continued.
