The Creak of my Friend's Bed
The Expression of Love

After hearing what was said by Desi, Mr. Aris no longer wanted to say anything. Although in his heart there is a sense of disappointment because his desire is rejected raw by his only child.

"If it's like this what can I do? though I want the best for Desi, but it is not accepted by him," said Mr. Aris.

Since then, Mr. Aris no longer invites Desi to chat. He seemed disappointed and was now even indifferent to his son.

The passage of time is very fast, until it does not feel like two months of Desi working in Raka's office. The longer Raka increasingly can not stem his love and he decided to tell the truth to Desi.

Until one afternoon at a cafe, when Raka invited Desi to lunch together, he took the initiative to say his heart to Desi.

"Desi, a thing I've wanted to tell you for a long time but I've always held it back. And at this time I can no longer help him not to say this," said Raka began to look nervous in front of Desi.

"What does Den Raka want to say? is that about the new client we're meeting today?" ask Desi curiously.

Raka did not immediately answer, just in her heart said," I'm sorry Desi. Actually I lied to you by pretending that we were going to meet a client who wasn't on your schedule. Though I just want to express this love, because I don't want you to be taken away, "the inner one is a bit of guilt.

Seeing Raka's silence, it certainly made Desi wonder," Den Raka, are you sick?"

One reprimand makes himself stunned by his daydream, "no Desi. I'm not sick of just what I'm going to say this isn't about a new client of my company but about a personal one."

"Personal? meaning Den?" Desi squinted her eyebrows.

Raka prepared herself, she let out a long sigh. Again he murmured in his heart, "it wasn't as easy as I thought. Though the time when at home I have planned this carefully. But once I had some free time, my tongue felt choked. Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, help me O Allah. I hope this time I'm a match with Desi."

After being completely ready, Raka said, "like Desi, I want to tell you how I feel, if I've been in love with you all this time. Would you accept my love?"

DEG!!!!!

Desi was shocked, she did not expect that she would get a love statement from her own boss. He stuttered at that moment as well. His tongue was stiff and could not be moved because of his self-disbelief.

Seeing a very clear surprised reaction emanated on Desi's face, making Raka feel bad," I'm sorry Desi, I've been sassy. But I don't want to lie to myself. I won't force you to answer now, I'll give you a week to think. But during that one week, I didn't want you to be indifferent or change your attitude toward me. As always, don't think too much."

Desi tried to smile, even though it was too difficult because he thought this

something very surprising and unexpected.

'Alright Den Raka, I also have to think first yes. Sorry if you can't answer it now" Desi said.

Raka smiled at her smile, "it's okay Desi. Now we just eat after that back to the office."

Desi squinted her eyebrows, "why go back to Den's office? did his new partner cancel the meeting?"

"Ooohhhh so it is."

One word was said from Desi's lips.

For a moment the two of them did not say anything more, but they focused on the dish that was in front of their table.

"At least my heart was a little relieved, because Desi already knew my feelings of love for him. Although I was also still curious about the answer from him," Raka's mind was rather calm.

A few minutes later...

They returned to the office to continue their work. But after hearing the love statement from his boss, Desi was not focused on work.

"Am I not misheard by the love statement from Den Raka huh? if Den Raka really loves me, what makes her love me? ah stupidly me, why didn't I ask him about this directly?" he murmured while patting his own eel.

Desi's behavior had made Raka smile on her own in her study, because Raka is secretly monitoring Desi's activities through CCTV video footage on her laptop.

"Based on a plain girl, her behavior is adorable. Desi was completely different from Kirana's so bar-barous and crude nature. Desi is cute and very innocent, although she is actually the son of a businessman does not reflect herself it is like a businessman's son. But Desi is more like a village girl," he murmured.

*******

Not feeling the afternoon....

Time for all office workers to return home, as well as Dedie and Raka.

"Desi, I'll take you home, okay?" saran Raka approached Desi who was walking quickly towards the office courtyard.

"Not to Den Raka, thank you. Because I happened to be carrying my own vehicle, I got on the bike," Desi subtly refused.

"Oh yes already then be careful in driving and do not forget to prepare an answer from my statement last afternoon huh? I'll give you a week please don't waste it."

Raka smiled as she walked away from Desi's presence, she went straight into her car where the driver had parked right in front of her.

Desi returned a smile from Raka while nodding slowly. He kept staring at the pace of the car Raka was riding in, "one housework I should really think about lest I get me wrong in acting or deciding. Should I just tell this to mom and dad? I was also confused as to what to answer? because I myself also do not know what race I have to Den Raka like?" muttered.

Desi is agitated with herself. What should he say to Raka. Will he accept his love or not?

Until he reached home, Desi was still thinking about Raka's love statement. This alone makes him unable to focus on doing anything at home.

Until at the time of eating with his parents, Desi even more dumbstruck. He hesitated to tell his parents. After the incident at that time, where Mr. Aris wanted Desi to be with Hendrik.
