CLB(t)K 17

Reenan stared dejectedly at these two humans who were in front of him, no one dared to look back at Reenan at this moment.

"You," pointed Reenan at Joshua. Joshua only glanced at a glance then lowered his head again.

"Don't you have to report to me? Why even chat with Annisa?" reenan asked in an annoyed tone.

Joshua did not reply, and only muttered an apology very softly.

"And you!" point Reenan at Annisa. Annisa also looked at Reenan timidly before looking down again.

"I'm going to rectify something, I agree if we get to know without being bound by any relationship but to get in touch with the opposite sex there must be a limit I want this relationship to work!" said Reenan.

"But sir.." interrupted Annisa.

"I. No. gabe. Want to. Denied!." said Reenan pressing every word on his sentence.

"Alright," Annisa finally relented.

"Wow?" suddenly Joshua's voice startled the two of them "What is this? Isn't that what I said?" joshua said as he clapped his hands proudly to himself.

"What?" reenan and Annisa said at the same time.

"Look, won't this work? Although your relationship is confusing to me, but I'm sure it will work!" joshua said confidently.

"Shut up! Annisa's back at your desk!" Reenan's orders.

After Annisa exits Reenan's room, Joshua sits on the sofa opposite Reenan.

"What's? Just ask" Reenan said without looking at Joshua.

"Why do you suddenly want to know each other?" ask Joshua nosy.

"Grandfather fell ill, and suddenly asked me to marry him," Reenan replied honestly.

"When did the great master meet Annisa?" ask Joshua.

Reenan finally told Joshua yesterday, though actually lazy to talk about this but Joshua will ask continuously if he has not got an answer.

"Have you been fooled?" ask Joshua.

"I know my grandfather cheated on me, but whatever I'd do for him, no matter how great my grandfather's service is"

"I know" said Joshua.

"Had my mother's father been alive, I would have done whatever they wanted from me, too" Reenan said.

"Hey, there's still me and my loyal grandfather beside you, and you have Annisa too now, don't burden yourself!" joshua's advice was retorted Reenan.

Elsewhere Damar was sitting together to meet Via his former lover. This time they would try to talk and resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them.

"My fault is too big for you" said Via.

"I don't really want to remember that anymore, but we do have to finish what I don't want to remember" Damar replied.

"Sorry is free, right? You hate me so much now" said Via. Damar just nodded.

"But it's not just your fault, there's a part of me in the mistake, I'm guilty of it, you have a right to hate me, too" said Damar Legowo.

"I realized that your hatred for me was already very great, but I also did not want to be hypocritical, I also realized that I still like you as much as I used to when we started our relationship"

"I know, but I can't go back with you, I like other people right now" Damar said.

"Is there no chance for me to fix everything?" ask Via lirih.

"I don't know, for sure now I have no feelings for you except disappointment" Damar explained.

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't made a rash decision it wouldn't have been a mess like this,"

"Have it, don't remember it, you were young then, your emotions weren't stable, you must have been afraid to face your future then, you know, you must have been afraid to face your future, I've started to understand everything that happened in the past, but I'm disappointed it's still in here" Damar said, pointing to his chest.

"I hope after this we can be good friends, although not familiar at least when you see me you can greet me or vice versa" said Via relented.

Via realized as hard as he tried Damar still holds great disappointment to him, at this time he will try to make peace with Damar's will.

But the hope is still in Via's heart, he wants in the future Damar to be able to return to him as he once was.

"Then excuse me, I still have to work again" Damar moved from his seat and said goodbye to Via.

Via followed Damar to his feet and extended his hand and was greeted by Damar.

"Thank you for taking the time" said Via sincerely.

"Together"

Damar immediately walked away from Via, who saw that Damar's back was getting further and further away from his sight.

There was a feeling of relief that entered into his heart after meeting and talking to Damar like this.

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

At night in the middle of a room dominated by gray, a man stands in front of the balcony door holding a glass containing a drink that can make him forget tired in his mind.

He just silently looked at the darkening sky and lowered the raindrops that suddenly fell on the surface of the earth.

I don't know what the man was feeling, but looking at his gaze he seemed to be thinking about something very important.

"Huh" said Reenan.

Reenans. The man who had just stood up looked at the rain drops.

Many things were troubling his mind at the moment, all the decisions and events that had recently happened to him were making his mind slightly disturbed.

About his grandfather, about his request to Annisa and about his regrets that have always haunted his life.

Reenan was a little distracted by it all, making him sure to have another nightmare tonight.

Reenan was never separated from the nightmares of his past, the past that made him have to lose both parents because of his own actions.

The nightmare that makes him always wake up in the middle of the night with sweat pouring down his body.

And now in addition to nightmares, his grandfather's health which turned out to be very declining made him more anxious every day.

He wants to grant all the requests of his grandfather who has been taking care of him all this time without blaming about his past that makes the grandfather lose his only son.

Reenan went into the bathroom and immediately cleaned his body. For tonight though not always doing so Reenan wants this evening to approach and seduce his Lord on the prayer mat with his hands up.

"......if allowed, if still given the opportunity I want to give the best for him, to make him happy in the rest of his age, ease the way of the servant to fulfill his request at this old age" Reenan prayed.

After finishing his prayer, Reenan stepped onto the sofa in his room, with little consideration Reenan finally called someone he hoped would give him the answer he hoped for tonight.

"I don't have much time, let alone 1 year, if you're willing for another 3 months I'll marry you" Reenan told someone across the phone.
