Only Love

“Come message, I'll deal. Think of this as my apology because I moved schools did not fare well with you,” Ivy said with a smile.
“Iya Vy, you're just playing away. Where are you actually going?” ask Rey.
“I had time to Ontario, continued to move again to Jakarta, and lastly I settled in Germany,” Ivy replied.
“Keep, you also did not tell me since the incident at that time,” Rey like reminding Ivy about the incident that was so horrendous at school that Dad Arthur had an accident.
“Upps, sory Vy. I don't mean to squash that problem,” Rey patted her own mouth because feeling guilty had reminded Ivy of a past she would have wanted to forget.
“Nothing. I've missed all that. How are Flora and Juliet?” tanya Ivy switched the conversation.
“Flora now has one of the best-known property agents in California, while Juliet I don't know. After graduation, we no longer contact each other.”
They ate food in front of them while continuing to tell stories and occasionally laughing.
“You now look different Vy. More fun to chat with you,” said Rey.
“Can be you, but it might also be due to environmental influences. Since I settled in Germany, I have become more social, to be more open,” said Ivy.
Ivy then opened the small bag of pliers she always carried when out lunch. He took out a business card and gave it to Rey.
“Rey, if there is anything, you can contact me at the number listed on the card. I will definitely help you as much as I can.”
Rey nods her head, “Thanks ya Vy. I don't know what to reply everything to.”
“You don't need to reply to anything. With you still wanting to be friends with me, that's enough for me.”
“One more time thank you Vy,” Rey keeps that business card in her wallet.

Sky who was sitting, while continuing to stare at the documents piled on his desk, but did nothing.
Already, he was just daydreaming, then occasionally looking at the paper in front of him and flipping it. He could not concentrate on his work because Ivy's shadow always filled his mind.
Sean who was sitting on the sofa while compiling some documents also noticed a change in attitude towards Sky. He could only sigh slowly and shake his head.
“Sky, lunch first yuk!” take Sean because it just so happens to be almost lunchtime.
Sky looked at the clock that coiled around his wrist, “Alright. Then meeting with Doctor Frans what time?”
“After lunch hour,” replied Sean while showing off his row of white teeth. He as Sky's personal assistant even forgot the meeting because since then he was busy paying attention to Sky who was not focused.
“Then we eat near the hospital only, so you guys,” take Sky.
“Okay!”
They finally left for RB Hospital and previously stopped by a cafe located not far from the hospital. They just do the lunch routine because after that they will be in the meeting room until night.
**
They arrived at a cafe located not far from RB Hospital. The cafe is always crowded and visitors are mostly doctors, nurses, hospital staff, or patient families.
Sean went in and immediately looked for an empty seat they could occupy. Every time they come, they have to squint their eyes to find a seat because of the crowded cafe. In addition to being close to the hospital, the food provided by the cafe is also quite delicious.
“Sky! There,” points Sean to one of the empty seats.
Sky followed Sean, but the tip of his eye caught the figure of a woman who since last night had made his heart continue to beat fast and disperse his concentration. Sky saw that Ivy was sitting with a man.
Sky wanted to come over to say hello, just before he did that, Sean had already first held his hand, “Sit, Sky.”
“Message first, Sky,” Sean sighed because his best friend and boss instead continued to look at Ivy, while they had to eat and go to meetings.
After a while, the food they ordered came. Sky ate his food quickly, like being swallowed without going through the process of mastication. Sean who saw it could only shake his head.
Before long, the man left the cafe and stayed alone. Ivy looked out the window, watching the person walking by. The originally cheerful face while conversing with Rey, instantly turned into a gaze that held a lot of sadness.
Sky who noticed from the beginning was aware of the change in look Ivy face.
Is he thinking about Daniel? That is how much his love is - inner Sky.
Sky who had finished his meal, immediately got up and approached Ivy. While Sean still ate his lunch while occasionally checking short messages or emails on his phone.
“Vy,” greet Sky.
Ivy turned his head towards the origin of the voice, seeing that Sky was already standing on the side of his desk, “Kak Sky.”
“You alone?” sky asked in pleasantries, although he actually knew who Ivy was there with.
“So there's a friend, just back first. Brother Sky?”
“Sama Sean,” Sky pointed towards Sean who was sitting eating his lunch.
“Can sit here?” ask Sky.
“Please, Brother. But, is it any pity that Sean's brother was left alone?”
“Ah he mah if you already hold the phone, will not care right front left back. The focus is just the phone.”
Ivy looked back at the window, but her gaze was empty.
“You're okay, Vy?” asked Sky with a little worry.
“Nothing, Brother,” Ivy said with a faint smile.
How long will this feeling continue? I've tried to be sincere and let go, but why does it still hurt so much to remember it. - Inner Ivy.
Sky kept watching Ivy. Ivy doesn't really care if he's there or not. Ivy's mind is like controlling where. Maybe his body was there, but not his heart.
“Sky! Comeing! Doctor Frans was ready he said,” Sean came to Sky and woke his friend from his daydream.
“Vy, would you like to come? We're going to RB Hospital,” take Sky.
“Nevent gone, Brother. Thank ye. I will walk, not far either.”
“All right now, Vy. You want to be alone here?” ask Skyz
“I'm not alone, Brother. There are still many visitors. After all, my practice schedule is still 1 hour,” Ivy said while looking at the clock coiled on his wrist.
“Then we first yes, Vy. Want to meet you,”
“Okay, Brother!” reply Ivy.
“Come Sky!” Sky didn't want to leave Ivy alone, but he couldn't have canceled today's meeting.
If he stays near Ivy, he also doesn't know if he will be useful because Ivy is not too mengubris presence. Like there's no Sky in Ivy's eyes.
