The Perfect Life
Episode 23

After Naziya and Vita passed from his sight, Alby moved to their inn. It was seen his friends were preparing a bonfire burning on the beach. They also plan to create a fish grill event for dinner. The night wind blew making the jacket that Alby was wearing twitch. He glued his jacket. Holding the wind from entering.

"Sir Alby from anywhere? I just called you not to pick up." Frida immediately welcomed the moment she saw the man coming. He was looking for her but did not find her. His voice sounded worried.  .

Alby's feeling a little bad. He left without telling anyone. He just meant to take a short walk. "sorry. I just wanted to get out for some fresh air and my phone happened to be left in the room. So I can't pick up mom's phone." Alby gave an explanation.

"Oh that. Yeah, it's okay. Now let's join the others" Frida asked. The originally worried voice had now turned softer. He approached the man and his hand touched Alby's arm.

Alby felt very uncomfortable when his arm was touched by Frida. He felt a tension and unpleasant feeling in his body. The touch triggers uncomfortable feelings that may be difficult to explain for sure, but she feels like her personal boundaries have been violated. He wants to avoid. Still trying to hold back. Frida is the Dean and now they are on vacation. He did not want to make their holiday atmosphere uncomfortable. He followed Frida's steps towards their busy friends. Only ten people took a vacation. Others prefer to be with their families. And indeed all those who participated were unmarried, Alby actually did not want to come, but Frida who asked him directly. So, he couldn't refuse.

Randy who was not far from them just smiled and felt sorry. He knew that Alby was not comfortable being treated that way. Frida-dean they have liked Alby for a long time. However, since Alby used to have a wife, so he didn't show it too much. Now, Alby is divorced and he feels free to approach her. Moreover, he felt he had a higher position than Alby. He thinks he can control everything. Randy took a breath. He also did not know how to help his friend. He followed the two to other friends to join.

When he arrives, Alby is about to help Alex who is collecting wood to burn. However, he was immediately intercepted by Frida.

"Sir Alby's here. Let them take care of it." Frida glanced at Alby, telling him to sit next to her.

Alby refused, but Alex spoke first.

"It's okay, Mr. Alby. Let me just." Alex smiled and then picked up a piece of wood and piled it on top of the other wood.

Alby's not feeling well. But again he can't do much. Frida is a selfish woman. He will not tolerate anything if it is not to his liking. He often forced his desire by doing anything. That's why Alby keeps holding back. He does not want to make his friends affected by Frida's annoyance because of him. Alby sighed softly, trying to control his emotions that began to rise. He straightened his face, staring at the sea filled with flickering beach lights. The flame of the campfire slowly gave off warmth. The sound of calm waves lapping on the beach. It's peaceful, but not with Alby's heart.

Frida berdehem's. Trying to open the conversation because Alby did not speak. "Tonight was so beautiful, wasn't it? The atmosphere of the beach at night always makes people feel calm and peaceful."

Alby smiling. The forced smile. His view remains straight.

Frida cleared her throat again. Fix sitting. "Can I ask you a question?" Frida glanced at Alby. He uses the word 'me' which indicates he wants to talk more closely with the handsome lecturer.

Yanti and Nunu who were about three meters away from Alby and Frida and were burning fish secretly glanced at them. In Alby and Frida's seat there were only the two of them. The other guys sat a little bit away. They intentionally. Dare not to disturb their dean who is again PDKT.

"What's up, Mom?" Alby finally opened his voice. Reluctant but should.

Alex who had joined Yanti and Nunu stifled laughter at the meeting of their almost half-century Dean. But also pity Alby who seems uncomfortable. Although their distance was a little far, it was still quite clear that the expression displayed by the Dean and the Lecturer was. Moreover, there was a bonfire lighting up around him, This is a step thing. They never saw Frida like that. Frida is actually beautiful. At the age of her who had stepped on the head of four, the rest of her beauty still emanated clearly. But alas, all of it is covered with his ugly and angry face.

Alby looked at Frida for a moment and then looked back at the sea. "Why do you ask that?" Alby asked though he could guess where the woman was going.

"No, just wanted to know."

Alby breathed out slowly. "There are no specific criteria. Most importantly I feel comfortable with him." Alby immediately remembered the Nazis. Lately, he has always felt comfort when he was with the woman. Although sometimes the Nazis did not consider it too much. He smiled thinly. Then it immediately dawned.

Frida who had glanced at Alby, saw the man's smile and then interpreted it differently. He thought that smile was for him. He held his lips down so that they would not be interested. His heart was filled with colorful flowers that were blooming. "You think, what about me?" He asked again and then bit his lip. His heart began to beat irregularly. He's a little nervous. How could he feel something like this at such a young age. It's like going back to her twenties when she first experienced a period of romance. He could not hold his smile.

Alex, Nunu, Yanti and Randy who had also joined giggled. They continued to pay attention to the interaction of the two men.

"I mean mother?" Alby asked not understanding. From then on he was still consistent to use formal calls.

Frida is back. This is the third time. "I mean, when you're with me, you feel comfortable? And also, please don't call me by mother's call. Just call me my name. We're not on campus."

Alby did not answer. He was confused as to how to explain it. He couldn't be honest because it would definitely hurt Frida. However, if he lied, fearing that it would make Frida continue to hope for him.

"Sorry, bother, Mom. Dinner is ready." Randy came suddenly. Glanced at Alby and smiled. He did deliberately do that because he could not bear to see his colleague was depressed.

Alby breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally free from the circumstances that tormented him. It was as if he had just escaped from a huge rock. Randy saved her tonight.

Frida grunts. He stared annoyed at Randy for disturbing his pleasure. However, he could not get angry. He meanwhile had to keep the image in front of Alby so that the man did not feel ill-fated on him. He then stood up after Alby who had stood first.

"Come, Mom." Randy didn't care about the dean's annoyed look.

They then went in tandem. It was witnessed by everyone who was holding back laughter looking at the dean's annoyed expression.
