The Autumn In Heart
The Part 19

I stared at the man in front of me. His skinny, black body and deck... Briyan??

"Sir Briyan??!" I gawked with both hands against my high heels.

Briyan seemed to be wrong to want to talk to me, it seems that he is inferior to his current appearance. Or because feeling guilty has disappeared without news.

"Why do you live here Wi?!" Briyan asked me in astonishment.

"Sttt !!" I signaled him to be quiet. "Talk inside, it's not good to see people."

Briyan shook her head following me from behind. I unlocked the door and first put down my Haigh heels.

"Sit down first" I commanded him.

I limped into the kitchen and boiled water to make Briyan coffee and compress my scuffed heels.

I made Briyan a cup of coffee and delivered her. Then again take a basin filled with warm water and a cloth compresses. I compress my scuffed and slightly swollen heels in front of Briyan.

"Can I light a cigarette?"

"Can't!"

"You never change, it's still cruel as usual" he said, putting his cigarette and match back in his pocket.

"Don't you see, this place is so narrow?" I said it while grimacing in pain.

"I'm sorry about me and my mom, Wi."

I paused the compress on my heel for a moment and stared at it for a moment, "just calm down, not your fault completely."

"I want you to go back to living in a guesthouse, it's more convenient for you." He said as he stared at every corner of my new contract.

"You take it easy, I'd rather be here."

"After all, I feel guilty" he said lowered his head.

"You don't have to pay for your mistakes, you've been so good to me all along. So, don't think too much."

"If only..."

"Well what?"

"If only I really fell in love with you Wi."

I frowned hearing his words. "Already Mr. Briyan, don't overdo it like that if you want to stay here longer!"

"That's what I mean Wi, if you'd been softer on me. Maybe I'll really fall in love with you."

I was stunned to hear his words, I held back my laughter. "It's a pity Mr. Briyan, I'm not interested in being your wife at all, let alone having a fierce mother-in-law like your mother!" I laughed after saying it.

"Yes, I've been dragging you into trouble, once again I ask ma'af."

We were silent for a moment.

"So, how was your day at your new workplace?"

"I'm sure I'll get a big paycheck next month, sir. I'm very optimistic about that."

"I mean, you feel at home there?"

"Yes, pretty good for this. It's just, the night shift makes me very sleepy. I get up late more often."

"It's not good for your health."

"So, what happened to you? how can you be so skinny, black as this? I almost failed to recognize you."

"That's because Sean's fucking!"

"W-what?"

"Fuck Sean trapped me in the wilderness without electricity, cell phone signals and food. And even worse, I have to help him load the woods of the great forest!" This time Briyan's face turned irritated.

Honestly, actually even though he was thin, black and dirty, his face was still handsome and sweet. His narrow eyes made me sometimes imagine it.

"Ha ha ha ha ha, so is that it?"

Briyan recounts a bit of the beginning of her following Sean into the jungle. He didn't say much, he seemed very tired. It could be seen from her disheveled face, like clothes that had never been ironed.

Briyan and I were awkward. I think we're out of conversation. Soon he will say goodbye home.

"I'm hungry, let's eat outside!"

His actions surprised me, I thought for a moment.

"I'm actually hungry too, but I forgot to stop by for food because of my sore feet."

"Hurry up, get your jacket!"

I smiled and moved from my seat. Go to the room and take a rather thick jacket. I saw my watch showing at 11 p.m.

"It's midnight, are you sure you want to go?"

"If you want, just calm down. I will take care of you as usual. I can't possibly do anything indecent to you."

"Yes, even if you dare, I will finish you."

Briyan glared at his eyes. We went to find a place to eat that was still open. Seems like the beach is a good choice. We sat on a long bench belonging to a satay seller.

"You ordered it, I'm ashamed!" he said command me.

I got out of my seat without any objections and ordered 4 servings of satay. After that, sit back. Briyan and I chatted casually. I started enjoying our time together. His face, his candlestick, I kind of miss that. To me, he is a good friend. We kept joking until our order was mature.
