Our Joke
Meet Daniel


Time to go home to school. As Nao said, today the two of them did not leave or go home together because Nao had to pick up the mama who was having business.


Adel was sitting at the stop while waiting for the bus to go where his tutoring came.


A few minutes later, the bus came. Adel took the bus. On the bus, Adel just listened to his favorite song while humming softly.


Adel arrived at the tutoring place. He stopped for a while at the stop to put his phone in his bag.


Adel began to step when the road to cross felt lonely. Arriving at the tutoring station, he finds Daniel talking to a teacher and staff.


Adel's footsteps approached Daniel. This is the right opportunity to talk to him because there is no Nao here, Adel said in his heart.


Adel turned his body against the wall not so far from Daniel. He waited for Daniel to finish his conversation.


It didn't take long, Daniel was seen saying goodbye to the teacher and staff. There is only one way to visit the exit that must pass in front of Adel standing.


As he passed by Adel, Daniel looked straight ahead. He chose to ignore Adel's existence.


"Daniel wait" Adel's remark made Daniel stop his footsteps.


Daniel looked at me "What's Del?"


"Em, can I talk to you? Just a moment" Adel said with his head lowered.


Daniel looked at the girl "OK"


Daniel walked first to the backyard where the tutoring was followed by Adel. Then they both sat facing each other.


Daniel put the bag on the bench. He looked at Adel who was sitting in front of him "Lo what to say, Del?"


"Gue, I want to apologize to you" said Adel. The girl still lowered her head. I don't know why he didn't dare look at Daniel.


Daniel folded his hands "Oh, about you and Nao?"


Adel just nodded his head slowly. The girl was still staring at the end of her shoes.


"It's okay kok Del" Daniel continued.


Adel reflexively raised his head after hearing an unexpected remark from Daniel. He thought Daniel would be angry with him. But the man forgave her that easily.


"Aren't you angry or upset with me?" ask Adel later.


Daniel screeched "Initially yes, I'm just disappointed, why don't you say from the beginning that you have a relationship with Nao, even his fiancee"


"Sorry, because at that time I was not long betrothed to Nao" Adel said softly and softly.


"Stupid?" sela Daniel was just a slow nod from Adel.


"Wait, when I shoot you how you feel to Nao?" ask Daniel.


Daniel turned to the side at a glance after hearing Adel's explanation "If now how do you feel to Nao?"


Deg.


What kind of question is this? That's a pretty confusing question for Adel. Adel did not immediately answer Daniel's question. He flinched. He was silent for quite a while.


"Lo likes him" Daniel said later. The man concluded himself seeing how there was no response from Adel.


Daniel took a breath. He put his arms on the "Lies table if I'm not jealous or upset with Nao. But Del, if you really like Nao, I don't papa. I've never seen her behave like that with a girl. Usually he would be careless and not care"


"But he didn't go to lo, Del, Nao himself was the one who announced your engagement to the public. I think Nao likes you too, Del" Daniel continued.


Adel was there listening to Daniel. He was confused as to what to respond to Daniel's words. Why is this man actually supporting his relationship with Nao and not fighting for him? That's the question that pops into Adel's head.


Adel frowned "Kok lo instead support me with Nao? Why lo..."


"Del, there are many forms of affection. Love does not mean having to have but by seeing our loved ones happy, it is enough" Daniel then smiled gently.


Adel's eyes look teary. Why is Daniel this good? Why is he saying that?


"And I feel calm if you're with Nao" continued Daniel.


Adel is still flinching. The words that came out of Daniel made him unable to reply and at a loss for words. He did not know what to say to Daniel because strangely his feelings for the man slowly faded.


"Em, did you discuss the same teacher and staff?" Adel diverted the conversation.


"Oh that, I want to stop tutoring here" replied Daniel.


"How come I'm with Nao huh?" Adel smiled stiffly.


Daniel slightly chuckled "Some. But not really. This is because I want to move to a tutoring place that can help me to study abroad"


Adel nodded his head "Lo would be willing to take medicine abroad"


"Yup" Daniel smiled faintly.


Adel thrust one of his hands to invite Daniel to shake his hand "May the lecture be smooth. Thanks Daniel, for everything. I am so grateful to know people as well as you"


Daniel shook Adel's hand while smiling sweetly "Lo and Del, I wish you all the best. Bye Del's"


Their handshakes were released. Daniel then stood up and left Adel there.


The girl looked straight at the table. Much is thought. Surely Daniel's remark about Nao left a certain impact.


Daniel walked away from Adel. From behind the window, he glanced at the girl who was daydreaming "Goodbye Adelaida Audia, I love you"
