Sharing Love: TWO RINGS
Raka's Concerns
...***...
Raka noticed the change in Ayu's attitude that started to change again. Ayu again became often daydreamed and her face always looked moody.
Sometimes he also found Ayu's eyes. However, again he was only able to see without daring to ask.
Until today Raka can see the haggard and pale face of the woman before her, finally she tried to dare to ask.
“Ay, are you sick?”
“Nothing, anything Kok Mas.”
His body was less comfortable than this morning. Probably due to a lack of sleep last night, because she thought about the fate of her marriage.
It is undeniable after Danu's confession about his second marriage, making his appetite and sleep time disturbed.
“Tsk, now even daydream. What are you thinking, Ay?”
“Ah, sorry yes, Mas.”
Ayu smiles so that Raka is not worried and knows her feelings, especially the current condition of her household.
“Your face looks tired, if it is not healthy just rest or want permission to go home?”
“Price is really okay, Mas.” She feels bad for Raka.
Although Raka is a good friend of her cousin's sister, and she already considers Raka like her Brother. Still, he can't be alone.
“Oh yes, two o'clock this afternoon we have a meeting with an important client. Sinwha company that should have met last week, was actually pushed back so today.”
Raka knew, if this woman in front of him was trying to divert the conversation. If so, Raka could only sigh.
“Where do we meet?”
“We'll have lunch together at Diamond Rush, they've made reservations. We just have to come, this is compensation for an apology for suddenly changing the schedule. That's what his assistant said.”
Raka nodded her head in order to understand Ayu's words.
“Alright, you can prepare anything we need. We will leave later with ya.”
“Ready, Boss!”
Raka laughed at Ayu's behavior.
“You're this”
Ayu just chuckled.
...***...
The client meeting went well. Even the CEO of Sinwha is so suave and joking. The atmosphere that had been so formal, turned to liquid because of some jokes thrown by the middle-aged man.
“Time goes very fast apparently, hopefully we can meet again next time, thank you for your time Mr. Rabbet. Once again I apologize, because yesterday had postponed our meeting and a little messy your schedule.”
They walked out of the VVIP room.
“I'm supposed to say it, thanks for Mr time. Lee and also for our cooperation. I am very honored because Mr. Lee approved the proposal we submitted, hopefully our cooperation goes well and next time I will host Mr. Lee if you visit again in Indonesia.”
Mr. Lee laughed at Raka's words.
“This young man, just think of me as your father. No need to be too formal. The idea you are proposing is very fitting and also unique. How can I refuse something good?” Patting Raka's shoulders.
“Thank you for your praise, Mr. Lee.”
“Do not be too serious young man. Later your partner feels awkward if you behave like this, but it seems your partner is used to the rigid attitude you do yes. She seems so understanding, even though you can't be romantic with her. Isn't Miss Ayu right?”
Ayu suddenly got the question.
“Alright, I won't tease you guys anymore. Excuse me, because Mrs Lee is waiting. It's not good to keep a woman waiting, is it? Because it will be difficult to persuade if it is sulking.” Looking up to his assistant. “Mr. Park, let's go.”
“Goodway Mr. Lee.”
Raka and Ayu bowed their heads.
After the departure of Mr. Lee from the room. Ayu turned towards Raka.
“Mas.” exclaimed then raised one hand.
Raka and Ayu are doing a high five.
“Finally, we can cooperate with the Korean company. Heh, despite being pushed back but he likes the proposal that we propose, Ayu is very happy.”
“This is all also thanks to you and another employee, Ay. Thank you for trying to work hard.”
Ayu chuckles at Raka's praise.
Kruk!
Inevitably Raka laughed at the sound coming from Ayu's stomach
“Hungry, Ay?”
Embarrassed. Ayu's face reddened as her stomach let out quite a loud sound.
“We eat, yuk. It's six o'clock too, that's why we just got home.”
Ayu did not refuse, because she also had not eaten and felt hungry. They eat at the restaurant next door, because Raka and Ayu want to eat their favorite goat fried rice.
Towards a weekend like this where eating is always crowded, especially the restaurant they go to is famous for being delicious and has several mainstay menus. Raka pulled out a chair to let Ayu sit down.
“Thank you, mas.”
The waiter approached their table.
“Please menu, Mr and Mrs.”
“Mas want to eat what?”
“As usual, Ay. You alone, what would you like to eat?”
“Then,”
“Two special goat fried rice, two avocado juice, two mango pudding and this.” Raka pointed at the chocolate cake in the menu book.
The waiter immediately recorded Raka's request.
“What's there again Sir?”
“I think it's enough.” Looking towards Ayu, “you want to order again?”
“Mineral water two bottles, we haven't drank yet right?”
Raka nodded her head. He looked at the waiter who was standing among them.
“That's just the addition.”
“Good, Sir. Please wait, your order will be ready soon.”
A few minutes later the food they ordered came. Both of them ate voraciously, occasionally heard jokes and laughter. Neither Ayu nor Raka.
There is a story that makes both of them dissolve in the conversation.
