Our Long Story
Chapter 15's

Surprisingly from a Baskara, he could avoid alcohol while being with his friend—not because of the holy pretentiousness or whatever, he just thought, ' he just thought, there is at least one person who is not drunk so that they can go home safely, only when they get home, then the man will gulp his own alcohol, to the point that it is beyond his ability to be sure, he said, until he ended up hangover and many things that had been complicated in his head slowly decomposed one by one. A lot of funny things have only one object, a lot of funny things about only one person. At a time when Baskara rarely thinks that no-no about their relationship going forward, tonight, somehow so different. There were many questions in the silence of the man, especially when he was smiling sideways while staring at the dim lights of his room.

Has he been doing his best for Rania all this time?

Even when he did not give the girl certainty when they had walked far enough?

Baskara smiled once more.

How long is it about?

How long can Rania wait for him?

Then the man closed his eyes slowly, the strong influence of alcohol made him not strong enough to withstand his drowsiness again, until at the next second he completely fell asleep.

At the same time, his phone rang.

Raniaa 🖤

Thanks for the gift, Bas.

'And sorry, sorry if I still received this gift as if nothing happened' message that Rania did not send. The message he had typed in—length, but then he deleted it quickly.

°°°

At eight o'clock in the night, Adam had parked his car in front of Rania's office, he had sent Rania a message before, and the girl said, in a moment he's coming down, of course Adam's not coming out, because he knows, for three more years Rania worked in this company, surely she had many acquaintances, and surely, there must be some people who are familiar with the girl so that she ended up knowing a lot about Rania, even with whom Rania is in a relationship, so staying in the car seems better on appeal down.

"old huh? Sorry."

There was about 20 minutes until the car door opened and the girl came in and sat down next to Adam. Adam made a smile for a moment, before finally starting the car engine.

"Not really."

20 Minutes has not been long for Adam.

"Almost a minute, your stomach hasn't eaten."

Rania smiled slightly, the last meal was indeed lunch, the rest she only drank a box of milk chocolate from her friend.

But—

"Down."

"Gue is not a laper."

Kriuk~~~

Now Adam looked down, looking at Rania's stomach which was immediately held by its owner with a wide grin.

"Hehe."

Laughing is beyond Adam's prediction.

"That's what you said no laper?"

"Seriously tauu no laper." Rania had already walked behind Adam to enter the simple restaurant.

"I don't know why it sounds" the girl continued, still saying sternly if she wasn't hungry, as Adam knew, if the stomach would be hungry.

"Adammit,"

"Hm?"

"You said,"

"Please."

"Don't be angry!" This time Rania was really begging, inviting a squeak on Adam's forehead.

"By the way, try, let me cry." Adam asked, his tone still soft as usual.

"Actually I'm confused, have to say or not to lo, but I'm not good if you have to say, fear lo-nya tangent, otherwise I say also I do not feel good."

The point is Rania really does not know what kind of action she should take this time. Telling Adam would obviously hurt the man's feelings, not telling him and letting Adam know for himself was even more sinister.

"Ran, why?"

Don't know, Rania doesn't know.

He suddenly cried, and quickly wiped his tears, making Adam come closer and rubbed under the girl's eyes.

"My horror, if you don't want to tell me today, it's okay, don't push yourself and end up crying like this."

"I think I'm bad."

"No, who said that."

Adam rubbed Rania's back slowly.

"Stop wronging yourself like that, I understand that you need a lot of time."

But at this second, Rania held the man's hand, with the most dearest look of hers.

"What if I can't escape Baskara, Dam?"

"What if I continue to live in his shadow?

"Where about lo?"

"The more I know you, the more I feel evil because I have to nyiai-nyiain people as good and as patient as you! The more I know you, the more I feel bego because out there, surely many want this opportunity, he said, but I'm the least grateful person because I don't think you are the way you should be."

"Gue doesn't intend to destroy destiny, but why the hell, Dam? Why should I believe it?"

"Why is it going so far from what I expected?"

Adam commented on her smile, maybe Rania forgot, if there was a moment where life did go so funny.

"Here am I not crying here?"

"No papa, no cry, here I hug not to be seen by passers-by."

"Godhhh!"

Adam laughed, then immediately grabbed Rania and rubbed his eyes again.

"Don't blame yourself again, Ran, don't feel like a bad person anymore, no matter how complicated the situation will be, still, you don't deserve to be wronged. Understand, right?"

"Don't be okay, I'm just as easily a good person."

"I'll be better than this."

"What the hell are you trying?"

"Have you finished yet to cry? Eat first, yes,"

"Gue has no energy."

"I'm bribe."

"No, thank you."

"Jude eat alone."

"Yeah." Yeah."

°°°

"Dam, that's what I was talking about..."

Rania took out her necklace, making Adam automatically look towards the necklace.

"Gue dapet this necklace from Baskara, I think this week he will go home, and the ring from lo, I deliberately save."

"I'm sorry, if that's the case, I don't appreciate what you love."

"No papa, don't apologize."

"Lo's angry?"

Adam smiled.

"If I'm angry you cry again like that?"

"I don't know, but sad for sure."

"Not angry" replied Adam.

"I'm not going to be angry, but I want to thank you."

Hearing Adam's words, clearly Rania frowned confusedly, the article was grateful for what? He did not feel worthy to get that word from Adam.

"What am I doing today? Didn't I hurt your feelings? Even when I have no sense at all to you, when you receive a gift from another girl just like I would be angry."

"Wahhh, I think I should be careful when interacting with the opposite sex."

"Seriously, thanks for what?"

"Thank you." Adam moved to tidy up the girl's hair from the side.

"Thank you for telling me about this."
