The One Night Stand

The One Night Stand
Alone


Kara, laughing while watching Cindy's YouTube channel. Cooking recipes, or tips in the kitchen that are very useful for mothers and even all ages.


Stiffened in the head of Kara to create a channel also to review about culinary. Kara tried editing some of the videos she had made for tabloid writing, then uploaded them on Youtube. Kara smiled with satisfaction, although there was still a lot to improve for the video.


The phone rings from Cindy.


"Hi dear cousin! How you doing?" cindy's carefree voice rang out loud in Kara's ears, making her have to keep her phone a little away from her ears.


"I'm fine, how are you?"


"Me and Brian are fine. How's channelku? have you watched?"


"It has. You look really cool. It's like Ayesha or Padma when giving tips and recipes, "praise Kara.


"I miss you Kara, will you celebrate Christmas with us in the countryside?"


Kara was silent at Cindy's question. He was eager to meet Cindy and tell her everything, but there was Kevin's house.


"I can't promise. Thanksgiving I'll be home, hopefully we can meet."


answer Kara lirih.


"Yes, we might as well go home, I'll try to see my cousin. Almost a year we haven't seen each other since I got married."


"I can't wait to see you!" Kara laughs.


"Hmmm... Do you have a boyfriend now?" Cindy Goda.


"Now, tomorrow I'll tell you."


"Just calm down Kara, as the man continues to chase you, enjoy that time. Kara, Josh is gone, you have to keep going. It's not fair, if you keep torturing yourself" Cindy can read Kara's mind.


Kara tells about her new job, and plans to create a culinary channel, responded enthusiastically by Cindy. Even Cindy gives tips and information on how to create a channel for beginners, Kara is very happy.


They chatted late into the night. Cindy ended the conversation because Brian called her to accompany him to sleep, and Kara could only laugh.


This time Kara was relieved to be able to chat with Cindy even though only through a mobile phone.


Half the weight of her mind felt off, Kara sipped a glass of mineral water, then headed for her bed.


Kara picks up the engagement ring box with Josh, twisting the ring in her hand.


Kara is curious about Noah, whose face is very similar to Josh as a child. Kara recalls vividly from a photo of Josh's childhood photo when it was shown by Josh's mother.

Kara ordered a burger at the foodtruck, she wanted to make it to put on her channel.


"Kara?" Someone said her name, Kara looked over.


"Jeff...!" Kara hugs Jeff and punches him in the arm.


"I didn't think we'd meet here."


"What's up here, Jeff?"


"I'm on a job here at the Central Hospital. I work in LA, in the City Hospital, and the cancer hospital." Kara nods at Jeff's explanation.


"I bought coffee, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Bargain Jeff and accepted by Kara with pleasure.


Jeff is Kara's best friend since elementary school, Jeff is Cindy's ex-lover. The reason Cindy ended the relationship with Jeff was because he could not connect remotely. At that time Jeff got a scholarship to specialize in New York.


At the Cafe, Kara orders coffee and chocolate cake, while Jeff orders coffee and a burger.


Kara and Jeff sat face to face while enjoying their meal.


"I'm sorry for the death of your fiancee." Jeff opened the conversation.


"Thank you."


"You're married?" kara asked curiously because there was no ring on Jeff's finger.


Jeff pointed his finger and laughed.


"Not yet Miss, I haven't found a suitable one."


"Cindy is married."


"Yes, and it broke my heart. I think by finishing my college fast I can be with Cindy again." Jeff was silent sipping his coffee, Kara patted Jeff's shoulder giving sympathy.


"I was close to a fellow doctor in LA, but he seemed to have taken too much consideration into his relationship issues" Jeff continued.


Kara patiently listened to Jeff tell her a story.


"He had a son, I didn't know he was married or not, yet he seemed closed off to telling his family."


Jeff showed me the picture on his phone.


Jeff with a girl and a boy. To Kara's surprise, the boy in the photo that Jeff showed was Noah.


"Him, is that woman?" Kara pointed at the picture of the woman in the photo.


"Yes, her name is Stella, and this is her son, Noah. Photo taken by staff during a gathering at the hospital. Stella is Claire's husband's best friend, they're very close. Her son is often tucked away in Claire's house."


"How far along is your relationship with Stella?" Kara curious.


"I just had a chat, a few dinners with him, but I still didn't dare to ask again, after he rejected me, on the grounds that he wasn't ready to commit."


Yeah, because Stella's still after Kevin, Kara's inner self.


"Does Claire support your relationship?"


"Claire has been very supportive of our relationship. I was with Stella, watching Noah play football at her school. Noah, nice to meet me, Claire said."


"Hi, man, keep fighting! Pay attention to her, start approaching her son. Good luck!"


Jeff laughed seeing Kara who was so enthusiastic in supporting him.


"thank you. You are my best friend for this kind of problem. Lucky I met you."


Kara spends her time with Jeff by chatting a lot in memory of the old school days.


"You suck at love!" teasing Kara, Jeff laughed at her.


"Yes, if there wasn't you, I wouldn't know Cindy. Now, because of Claire I can get close to Stella."


"You know, it was rumored to be gay by another friend. That's why I introduced you to Cindy."


"really?" jeff asked, laughing in disbelief.


"Next month I plan to go home, hopefully we can get together again."


"Yes, I'll take Claire. I hope my relationship with Stella is progressing too."


"I support you Jeff, don't forget to introduce me!" Kara patted Jeff's shoulder.


Then Jeff said goodbye because there was a duty call. They hugged and separated at a crossroads.


Kara crossed the road to her office to finish some work.


Kara was unaware, if a pair of eyes were looking at her with a jealous look. Yeah, Kevin saw Kara with Jeff.


Kevin was about to go to Kara's office looking for him, to explain all the misunderstandings that occurred, in the middle of the road he saw Kara talking intimately and even laughing with a man. Kevin was curious, following them, until parting ways at a crossroads. Jeff goes to the hospital, while Kara goes to his office.


Kevin was almost insanely tormented by Kara. Wanting to feel she hugged Kara, when she saw it earlier, but undone it. Because he's still sane.


Kevin stared at his phone, there was work waiting for him right away. Kevin let out a long sigh and closed his eyes for a moment. Then he returned to his office, and planned to visit Kara later after the work was completed.
