The One Night Stand

The One Night Stand
Unresolved


Corner of New York City...


Kevin smokes his cigarette while looking at the city that never dies at night through the rooftop of the office building.


This place, a favorite to relieve fatigue after work or when he misses Kara.


Distance separates them, making communication a little hampered. Kara with busy with restaurants and hotels. Plus the restaurants in Las Vegas make it even more busy. Cindy sometimes finds it difficult to contact her beloved cousin, then switch her phone calls to Kevin. Tell a long story, while accompanying Cindy while staying up late to keep her baby who woke up at night.


Kevin looked at the dark sky, the stars were covered in clouds at that time. He finished the last suction of his cigarette, threw it away, and stepped on the butt of the rest.


Kevin went down through the stairs, seen two cleaning services are still busy cleaning the building room. Kevin walked down through the elevator, squeezing the ground floor. He accidentally left his car at the office, wanting to enjoy New York at night.


Kevin opened the main door of the office, cold air blew from the outside, he buttoned his coat, put on a Hoodie, walked down the sidewalk.


Kevin walked home to his apartment. Along the way there are several shops still open. He headed to the minimarket before returning home.


He took bread, strawberry jam, some cups of instant noodles, and eggs. Kevin took the shopping to the cashier.


The cashier counts the groceries, then Kevin pays, and continues his way to the apartment a block away.


She remembers Kara, waiting for the beautiful woman from her apartment to go to her office. Or when she stares down the street through the window of an office window, it looks so pretty.


She felt Kara was part of her life, no matter when she felt it.


First meeting at the bar after Brian's bachelor night show, didn't feel anything at all. However, when he looked into his eyes, he told stories, even how to handle Brian who had been upset before marriage, he began to fall in love.


When he found out that the woman was Josh's fiancee, he was afraid to tell her. Josh has died, and he can easily get close to Kara, what if Josh is still around, and Kara is still engaged to him. It's gonna be different.


Maybe Kara needs time to bring out the love in her. Sure of what he would do in front of her.


Three years may not be enough to forget his love story with Josh. Yeah, Kevin feels he's pushing his feelings too much on Kara.


He entered the apartment to his room, then cleaned himself up before resting.


Before he did not take the time to give news to Kara, it is up to be reciprocated or not by his lover.


Then Kevin was lulled by a dream....


****


Henry gave a schedule for today's activities to Kevin. While finishing some of the materials that would be given to the student, he checked his phone.


"Happy work today, have a great day!"


That's the content of wa's message from Kara, short, but very encouraging Kevin to start the day.


He drove his vehicle towards a college campus, currently speaking at an open-air lecture.


Kevin finished his work happily because the class he entered was very expressive, a lot of things that could be dug into the material that time.


Kevin skirted down the sidewalk on the left right of many restaurants and shops selling food, but nothing was of interest to him yet.


"Kevin...!" Someone called his name. He looked towards the voice that was calling.


Jeff walked quickly towards her.


"Oh, Jeff, what are you doing here? greet Kevin while extending his hand.


"I'm at work in NY." Jeff answered welcoming Kevin's hand.


"I'm looking for lunch, would you join me." Kevin bargained.


Jeff nods, they walk parallel while chatting about their work while in New York.


They decide to break into an Asian restaurant, the smell of the cuisine from the restaurant teasing their tongues to try it.


They ordered a few menus to eat.


"How's your relationship going all along?" ask Jeff about Kevin and Kara.


"We're good, this is what it's like, if you're in a long distance relationship."


Before long their order dishes came.


Kevin and Jeff ate their ordered food voraciously.


"Then you and Stella?"


"We've made a lot of progress. I often replace Stella for some of Noah's school business."


"Wow, it seems like your relationship has gone to a further stage."


"Yes, I'm planning on proposing to her, but there's a lot more to consider."


"You mean?"


"Stella's still not sure about our relationship. Although I tried to convince her, yet it seems you are still in her heart." Jeff looked at Kevin, who was silent after hearing Jeff's words.


"Sorry Jeff, I didn't mean to." Kevin feels guilty, but he does not know how, while his relationship with Kara can be said to be ordinary.


In Kevin's heart there are no more feelings for Stella, only Kara in his heart.


He also felt he had to straighten everything out, whether it could be well received by Stella or not.


Jeff seems to love Stella.
