The time now shows at 7 pm, Laura looks dreamy in front of the cashier table where she works. Melani's words kept ringing in her head. Did he really have to talk to Arga, so that the man would not pursue her continuously?
What Melani said has a point. But the laziness that hit Laura's heart, making her reluctant to talk alone with her ex-boyfriend.
“La.. bengong aja”. A light clap landed on his shoulders.
“Hah”.’ The girl was surprised. He turned to the side, finding his co-worker who was on duty at the cash register had returned from the toilet.
“That's something for you, tuh”. Point the 30-year-old woman to the front.
“Who is mbak?” Laura looked forward, in the direction her partner pointed.
While sitting on the chair, the woman twitched her shoulders. “I don't know, but said Eni is the guy who a few days ago at the 15” table. Another imbibing.
‘Dia again?’
Laura walked lazily towards the front of the restaurant. Rendra was waiting for him, leaning in front of his car.
“Sorry, what are you looking for me for?” He spoke after being close to the man.
Rendra or better known by the name Arga by those closest to him, erect his body. She was happy, and Laura finally came to her.
“I want us to talk seriously, La. Can you come with me for a minute?” Bring the guy.
Laura shakes. He wouldn't go alone with this guy.
“If you want to talk, just talk here. If you don't want to talk here, please go!.”
Rendra drew deeply in his breath. It filled a lot of air into his lungs.
“Good. We're talking here.”
“Please.” Answer the girl.
“La.. I really want to know what is the reason you ended our relationship first, La. Please... let me know.” The man's face was clear, trying to grab Laura's hand, but she quickly avoided him.
‘Maybe it's true Melani said, I have to finish all this. So he stops chasing me’
“So you want to know the reason why I ended our relationship first ?” Repeat the girl.
Rendra nodded her head. She still loves Laura. Whatever causes their relationship to break down, he will try to fix it.
“Your mother does not agree to have a daughter-in-law who is not from her class. I'm just an orphan, who has no parents. Besides, I only have an orphanage, do not have any effort, for everyday life we rely on from the mercy of rich people like you.” Laura repeated the words that Rendra's mother had said to her.
Rendra shakes. She couldn't believe Laura could talk like that.
“No, La. You don't talk like that.”
“I don't talk like that, but your mother told me that.” Laura's voice began to tremble.
“I must always be self-aware, fringe people like me, will never deserve to be with a rich man like you”.
Rendra slowly approached Laura, venturing into her body.
Now Rendra knew why Laura was so hard to avoid. It was because of his own mother. It was fitting that the middle-aged woman always said that Laura was inappropriate for her. This is what her mother told Laura.

“Where are we going, boss?” Ask Johan who is currently driving.
“Go home, Jo. Where are you going?” From behind the boss answered.
“It's still afternoon, boss. Not yet at 8. Don't want to stop by where you used to”. Johan looked at his superiors through the rearview mirror hanging in front of him.
Without saying much more, Johan drove his car to the left. He knew, his boss would be very happy if brought to that place.
‘Monica dear, get ready for the weekend later we can have an additional holiday again’
Not long after, the black luxury sedan car entered the parking lot of a restaurant. A sweet smile was engraved from the two handsome men who were in the car, while reading the nameplate of the restaurant.
‘Yulia’s Kitchen’
Johan parked the luxury car carefully. He doesn't want his boss' fancy car scratched.
After that, he rushed down and opened the car door for his superior. Edward got out of the car, and fixed his coat.
“You always know what I want, Jo.” The grown man patted his assistant's shoulder.
Johan was proud. His smile grew wider, when he received praise from Edward. They also walked together, but not far away they walked, a surprising sight presented before the eyes.
The smiles that rose from the two handsome men's lips instantly disappeared.
Edward's jaw immediately hardened, his fingers clenched until his handbooks were seen.
“Bless a day.” Furious Edward. Johan who saw that became misgivings. This time he miscalculated. If only he hadn't brought his boss to this place.
“Bos..”
Edward walked closer to the two humans hugging in the restaurant's parking lot. He immediately broke his second embrace. Instantly made Laura shocked and frightened.
Bugh…
A fist landed on Rendra's sturdy jaw, which made the man a little unsteady.
“Ed..” exclaimed Laura, he pulled Edward's arm when he was about to hit Rendra again.
“Let go of me, Ara.” Ed tried to let go of Laura's hand.
“Ed, don't I beg.” Laura pulled the man's arm back.
“Pak Jo, help me.” Laura asks Johan for help, who just keeps quiet to see his boss go berserk.
Johan raised both hands to the chest, a sign of surrender.
“Who is he, La? Why suddenly come hit me?” Rendra asked while wiping the corner of her lips that felt sore.
“Not your business.” Answer Laura ketus.
“You want to know who I am?” Edward looked at the man younger than him.
“Yes, of course I want to know. Why are you interfering with my affairs with Laura?”
“Of course I interfered, I do not like mine touched by another man.” As he said that, Edward turned his head towards Laura who was beside him. The man then pulled Laura's nape, and melu*gross the girl's lips, no matter if there were other people around them.
“Don't I have said before, if I don't like mine in touch others.” Edward whispered to Laura who was still enjoying her kiss. The girl nodded too.
“I'm sorry, Ed.”
