Second Love to Ardian
Second love for Ardian

Second love for Ardian.

"Ardian, isn't that your secretary, Jidan?" Nalda asked when she saw that one person she knew had just entered the ice cream shop.

"Jidan's? Where's." Tanya Ardian frowned confusedly.

"That's..." Nalda pointed to the sturdy back of a man who was walking in tandem with a woman who was beside him. While Ardian followed the hand of Nalda who pointed slightly. The grayish eyeball examined all the people in the ice cream shop, which was crowded even though it was night. Until his eyes were fixed on the back of a man he knew very well.

"Have you seen him, Ardian?" Ardian just nodded his head, confirming the question of the woman next to him."But who's the girl? Does Jidan have a boyfriend?" Tanya Nalda turned to look at Ardian and subconsciously that the faces of the two looked closer. Especially now that Ardian was silent while staring at Jidan, so he did not realize that his face was so close to Nalda's face.

"Maybe that girl, lover....." Ardian's words came to a halt as he turned his head to his side, which made his face as well as Nalda's face very close. Even the tip of the nose was pointed, both of them almost touched.

Deg

Deg

The heart of both of them beat incoherently as the eyes of both of them stared at each other. Even the dark brown iris and grayish iris are like showing tranquility there.

For a long time they stared at each other in silence. Until finally the two realize that what they are doing is wrong, so the two throw their faces at each other to decide their gazes.

Nalda felt very embarrassed and nervous, even the pounding of her heart was now beating unbecoming."What's wrong with my heart?" Inner Nalda held onto her chest and felt a strange thump there. Not because he had a heart attack, but another debate and Nalda certainly know the meaning of the debaran. Especially when he was in this position.

Unlike Nalda who looks embarrassed and nervous. Ardian looks ordinary. But unlike the heart that now beats not because it is like a melody.

"My heart." Inner Ardian looks gently rubbed his chest, he tried to be ordinary so that what happened earlier did not make them awkward. Ardian steadied around him to take a look. Are people watching them. But, apparently not, because the people there did not pay attention to what had just happened, because the people there only focused on the ice cream in front of them while chatting with family and with their partners.

"Maybe Jidan is on his way with his girlfriend." Ardian continued his words earlier, while looking at Nalda. Ardian tried to be casual, so as not to be awkward as he spoke to Nalda.

Hearing Ardian's voice, Nalda turned to his side."Hmmm, I didn't know that Jidan had a boyfriend." Answer Nalda trying to stay calm and mediocre.

"Actually I don't know, either, that Jidan has a lover. Because all this time he's just been alone." Said Ardian who was still staring at the man's back, seemingly ordering something.

"Because it's too alone, it's possible that Jidan intends to find a life partner. Especially now that she's ready to get married."

Hearing the word married makes Ardian look back at the woman beside him. As Nalda said, Jidan is very ready to get married. What about those who have three heads. Can you say that you are ready to get married?

"If Jidan deserves to get married, how about you. Aren't you ready to get married?" Nalda turned to Ardian as the man mentioned about the marriage. Even though he had discussed it, but hearing his name called to make the woman a little offended. Because what Ardian said is true. If he is now very deserving of marriage. It's just that he's not ready.

"I don't mean to stop you. It's just that I was thinking, that we're actually the ones who deserve to get married. But you or I are still comfortable to be alone." Clearly Ardian looked at the woman very seriously.

Nalda seemed to think hearing Ardian's words. Is he too comfortable himself, so that he never opens his heart again? Even his own friend refused.

Actually not because he was too comfortable with his solitude, just that he was not ready to accept new people in his life, even though his age had entered the head of three.

"Why are you quiet, Nalda?" Tanya Ardian looked at the woman who had been with her for a few days.

"No, there's." Now the table was silent again because both of them were silent, no one spoke anymore. Until the waiter came to bring her second order.

"Thank you." Nalda said with a smile to the maid who had delivered their order. While Ardian just kept silent while staring at Nalda with a difficult gaze.

"Sound."

"Yes." Nalda replied muttering but she did not look at Ardian at all.

Uhuk....

Nalda immediately coughed when she heard Ardian's question.

"Don't rush Nal's drink, 'cause nobody's gonna take the ice you're drinking right now." Said Ardian so very attentively rubbing Nalda's back.

Nalda just silently looked at the man in front of her."What do you mean, Ardian?"

"I mean. Are you ready to be a wife?" Tanya Ardian fixed her speech.

Nalda again fell silent at Ardian's explanation. Because what Ardian said was very different from what he heard just now.

"I'm actually ready. It's just that there's another reason that makes me stick around for myself." Answer Nalda smiled.

"Reason? What reason is that?"

"The reason people can't tell you." Ardian clucked when he heard Nalda's words.

"Basic." Nalda only chuckled as she looked at Ardian's pious face. Looks like the guy can already show his cute face now while in public. Even if it's just in front of him, but it's very good. So that the man is not always in serious fashion."Because we're talking about something else. We didn't even realize that Jidan wasn't here anymore." Nalda said while looking around.

"Maybe Jidan's message went straight home." Replied Ardian while drinking the ice cream that was going viral."We better get on with our date, rather than take care of jidan."

"Dating?! Who says we're dating! It was your people who came here!" Upset Nalda.

"Handering. But think of it that way." Continue Ardian with his fine."Don't nag, your iceberg's melting." Ardian said back when he saw the woman was about to babble back.

"Whatever." Angrily Nalda drank her ice, but Ardian just smiled.

"Actually what I said earlier was indeed Nalda's serious. But I doubt whether you will or not, considering who I am. Maybe I have a treasure, but I'm just a jerk who uses my treasure by trapping every woman for me to make toys. Maybe you won't accept me either, considering I'm not a nice guy." Inner Ardian looked at Nalda with a sad look.

Yes, in Ardian's heart. He has a taste for Nalda. Moreover, the woman always accompanied him, even willing to help him to eliminate the trauma that he had been suffering. But he had to bury his joy, considering he opened a nice guy like Jerry.

Ardian also always consulted after the night of therapy where he went berserk. Even though he hasn't told me what he's been feeling. But together with Nalda makes Ardian more comfortable. It's just that Ardian was astonished. Every time he was near Nalda, he would be remembered by Mayra. Moreover, Nalda's face and Nalda's voice are almost the same.

.

It's still in the same place, just a different room. If Nalda and Ardian are downstairs. So it is different from Jidan and Nada who are on the top floor. Precisely Rooftop ice cream shop, actually it's open an ice cream shop as said by Jidan. Because the place is just a three-story cafe, and the top floor is Rooftop where to relax. Rooftop is also not in use for the public, because only certain people are allowed to wear it. But don't know why, Jidan can use that Rooftop.

"Wahhh, the place is so beautiful. Moreover, we can still see the moon and also the stars directly." Tone that looks admiring the place.

Hearing Nada happy, made Jidan smile. Moreover, the girl did not cover her face of admiration, making Nada look cute in Jidan's eyes. Because the tone appears as it is, without having to be made up.

"You like her?" The tone that was closing his eyes while breathing fresh air tonight, opened his eyes, Then he turned to look at Jidan with a smile engraved on his face.

"I like him a lot. Because rarely does an eskrim character provide Rooftop as good as this."
