The One Night Stand
Arka Companion

Kara runs small towards the absentee engine,

"Yes!" apparently, there is still about five minutes left.

"Hello, pretty lady, how was the party yesterday?" greet Mike, Kara's office mate.

"Yes like a wedding party in general, nothing special" Kara replied as she opened her computer.

"I read it online, covered by some media there, too" Mike showed the cell phone news about Cindy's wedding.

Kara stops her work, reads the news Mike showed her, then laughs out loud.

"Jeez Mike, is that as popular as my family?" kara looked at Mike.

Mike nodded, "Love Bakery, who doesn't know him. Donuts and muffins are really the most delicious in the world, people are willing to queue when buying, especially if there is a promo, the queue is really like a snake."

Kara still laughs at Mike's story. It's true that donuts and muffins made by her aunt are indeed very delicious, and currently declining on her cousin Cindy, her artificial muffins really make Kara flinch if you eat it.

"This is for you!" Kara brings the souvernir from Cindy's wedding, a cute mug with the Love Bakery logo that reads Cindy and Brian on the bottom.

Mike cheered happily to see her and immediately accepted her,

"Thank you pretty!" Kara just shook her head.

Kara heads to the marketing room to submit some reports, not forgetting to bring a box of donuts for the person in the room. All cheered happily while enjoying Kara's innate donut.

"Thank you, there's no need to line up when ordering this donut" said Nindy, Kara's friend in an important marketing section. "Not really, I was also in line when I bought it, just like the others" he replied with a smile.

"It's , try it!" Nindy thrust her food box. Kara eagerly stared at the dishes that were offered, the aroma of the nuts was very fragrant. Kara tried food made by Nindy, contains vegetables doused in peanut sauce, it tastes very good.

"spend it! that's for you, mine I've kept in the pantry" Nindy smiled.

"Thank you, what's the name of this food?" kara asked, she was ceaselessly eating foods similar to salads.

"The name is gado gado" replied Nindy.

Nindy is a friend of Kara's office, who is from Indonesia. Kara was invited to her house to eat together. The menu at that time was soto, a soupy food with very delicious aromatic spices, Kara liked it very much. Kara asked Nindy for the recipe, and she asked him to search on Google, but Kara insisted, "Sometimes the recipe on Google doesn't match the creator directly!" kara answered at the time.

Nindy also made bakwan and perkedel, Kara likes it. He also knows the tempe to Kara, and he really likes the taste.

"If you want to buy the material look for in Asian stores only, which is in the next block more complete asian products," Nindy told Kara when asking where to buy it. Kara did not hesitate to ask about some Indonesian recipes to Nindy. Kara learned to cook from several other countries, in her poor time.

Since having friends in the office, Kara has a little forgotten her sadness, sometimes they gather together in a cafe or at the home of one of them.

During the lunch hour, Kara was still struggling with her report. When he finished, he glanced at the hotdog vendor in front of the opposite building.

I think I will eat there again this afternoon

Wait, Kara's gaze caught a familiar figure near the hotdog seller.

"What's he doing there?" Kara muttered in surprise while looking across the street. Mike who saw Kara like that then looked across the street as well.

"When you see Nonna is beautiful" Mike replied, whispering behind Kara.

"Geez!" Kara is shocked and pushes Mike's body.

"What did you do, Mike?" kara's face sharp.

"I'm just following you, looking at the guy down there who's also looking over here" Mike replied, pointing at Kevin.

The beep!

Come down!

A message from a number on Kara's phone.

Kevin gestured, if that was a message from him.

Kara smiled and replied to the message.

Waita minute.

"Finally, Kara found her prince!" Mike exclaimed, making the other employees look in their direction. Kara hit Mike's shoulder.

"Ouch!" Mike grimaced in pain. Kara immediately rushed down from her room.

Kara's headed for the hotdog dealer across from her office, Kevin's already waiting there.

"How did you get here?" ask Kara curiously.

"It just so happens to be passing by, I remember you once saying, if you often have a hotdog lunch across the office," Kevin replied as he put his hand in his pants pocket.

"When did I ever tell that story?" Kara scrunched her forehead.

"When at the bar that night," Kevin replied casually. Kara smiled faintly and shook her head.

"Hopefully there weren't many secrets I told you back then." Kevin chuckles at Kara's answer.

The hotdog seller gives their order, Kevin offers a sheet of money to pay.

"I'm the one who paid for it."

"Thank you" Kara said as she ate her hotdog.

"After the wedding yesterday, I went home. It's been a long time since I've been home" Kevin sighed. Kara just kept listening to Kevin.

"I'm sorry, I asked Cindy for your phone number."

"I'm surprised you sent me a message earlier."

They finished their food that afternoon.

"You're a very busy man, aren't you?" ask Kara.

"No, just sometimes a busy work schedule makes me look busy."

Kevin invites Kara to a coffee shop across the street to spend their break hours.

"When will you be home?" kevin asked, looking at Kara.

"No idea yet" Kara replied as she stirred her coffee.

They were momentarily silent, "I actually spent time just as an escape," Kara stared at the street in front of the tavern.

"Well, until when will I be like this," Kara looked down at her cup.

Kevin just listened to Kara.

"I'm sorry for what happened to Josh."

"Thank you. Do you have any unresolved issues with Josh?" ask Kara full of search.

Kevin glanced at the road with a long sigh. "Come," he answered, spending the coffee in his cup.

"It seems like the break is almost over, thanks for accompanying me to lunch" Kevin exclaimed as he looked at his watch.

Kara stutters and smiles, a sweet smile makes Kevin's chest rustle, for some reason, it feels like he likes to see a smile on Kara's face.

Kevin escorted Kara to his office lobby, they parted ways while waving his hands.

Kara returned to the room, and continued her work.

There was something that stuck a little when I asked about Josh to Kevin. Josh tells Kevin is his best friend as well as Kenny, but only Kenny who often communicates with Josh.

Kara feels that something has happened to their friendship, whether Kevin, Kenny, or Josh. Kara let out a long sigh while staring at the monitor screen, then resumed the routine of getting the job done.
