The Temptation of the Former

The Temptation of the Former
Fainted


Johan parked his bike in the car free night parking area, Jihan who had dropped from the motorbike looked around the location of the free night car. The atmosphere is the same as the night market, many kinds of games and also street food.


"You want that?" asked Johan while pointing at one of the outlets that sold cotton permem.


"Can" said Jihan.


Jihan immediately walked to the cotton candy seller, when she arrived at the store, Johan ordered the jihan one piece of cotton candy is very large.


Jihan seemed very happy to receive the cotton candy. After finishing Jihan and Johan again walk down the car free night area.


Jihan's steps stopped when she saw a roller skate show that was being done by a group of young people.


"Let's sit there," Johan invited, taking Jihan to sit in a park chair, while watching the show.


Johan and Jihan are sitting next to each other. Jihan was cool herself watching the show while enjoying her cotton candy, so she did not realize that Johan had been watching her since.


Actually Johan was quite shocked, because Jihan was willing to accept his invitation, this was really beyond his expectations. Although it still feels awkward but Jihan is not behaving as usual.


"There is something different about your attitude at the moment" Johan said in the end.


Jihan who was focused on seeing the show now turned to look at Johan, "What?"


"You didn't refuse to let me go and you didn't refuse me to come here" Johan said.


"I'm tired of running. The pain, pain, emptiness and loss of self-confidence I have experienced too often. If my escape was only to return to its original point, instead of it getting more agonizing, falling many times and getting hurt many times, I always ran on that lap," Jihan said


"Have you decided to give me a chance?" ask Johan.


"What chance should I give to someone who will soon be bound. I told you we wouldn't be able to unite, you there I'm here, too far away is like the distance of the sun to the planet Pluto alone. Tonight is the last night I'm acting silly like this, forgetting for a moment that you're no longer Jo's brother who left me seven years ago" Jihan said.


"I'm still the brother Jo you know, you're just lost in your own insecurities. My match and Vita will never happen, even though I have to lose everything to keep my love for you" Johan said.


Jihan no longer serve Johan's remarks that will only make his self-defense cracked. Now that Jihan had stood up from her seat, "I want to go home."


Jihan was about to walk away, but Johan immediately prevented her, Johan pulled Jihan's hand, until Jihan turned to him again.


"Keep around me, don't run anymore. Just look at me opening up a path that will bring us together again" Johan said, looking up at Jihan who was standing before him.


Jihan just kept quiet while continuing to look at Johan with a difficult gaze to understand. Time seems to stop around them, If their relationship becomes a soap opera story, maybe the right title is Love Complicated.

As usual dramai that always happens in the morning in front of the bathroom door. This morning it was Jihan's turn that Nino had entered the bathroom. Nino deliberately linger to upset Jihan.


Suddenly, an idea popped into Jihan's head. He walked towards the light switch, he was smitten when he imagined the expression of Nino's face when he came out later. The bathroom in Jihan's house will remain dark even though it is morning though.


Jihan pressed the light switch with a quick motion, off, on, off, on and on and so on.


"Aakk" cried Nino from the bathroom.


Nino came out of the bathroom with a body that was still alkaline with boxer pants that were also wet.


"Haha." Jihan laughed back and forth as she watched Nino come out of the bathroom.


"Son Jihan, it's brother!" nino was upset.


"If so, then you've been in the bathroom for a long time" said Jihan.


"Ma ... Brother Jihan ma!" shout Nino.


"Free, your mother has gone to the laundry, today we went to school with my sister," said Jihan.


"Aish," said Nino while walking to the hanger place to get a towel, because too rushed when entering earlier, he forgot to bring a towel.

Breakfast at Alexander's residence, Johan looks not excited because of the presence of Vita in his house this morning.


"Eat a lot of Vi" Maria told Vita.


"Yes aunty, thank you," said Vita.


"Don't call aunt dong, just call mom and dad" Maria said.


"Yes right, from now on you have to get used to calling us, father and mother" said Toni.


"Yes father, mother," said Vita, smiling a million watts.


"Today you came with Johan to the office?" ask Maria.


"Yes ma'am" replied Vita.


"For what reason do you come. no, no, no," Johan refused.


"Jo, let Vita come, let all employees know your potential fiancee" Toni said.


"It's less clear what else, when at the party father has announced it," said Johan.


Brakkk's.


Toni kicked down the dinner table, she was upset that Johan kept chiming in.


"You are an adult Johan, lest father take firm action on you.


Johan could not say anything, he just kept silent while staring intently at Vita, if not for Vita, maybe his life would not be like this. Another with Johan, Vita instead smiled triumphantly, Vita even, he knew that Johan's father and mother would defend him.

Johan's car entered the office area. Johan decided to take the driver this time, because If he brought his own car, he would not be able to concentrate because Vita was always falling on him.


When getting out of the car, whether by chance or not, Jihan also just arrived. Vita sees the arrival of Jihan, with a quick movement of Vita wrapping her hand around Johan's arm.


"hey let go" said Johan.


"No way" Vita said.


Johan tries to pull his hand but Vita persists. Johan continued his steps until he reached the lobby by still trying to release Vita's hand from his arm, Johan's eyes caught the figure of Jihan who was also in the office lobby.


Jihan who saw Vita was writhing spoiled in Johan's arms, stared indifferently at the two of them. Jihan knows Vita wants to make her jealous.


Jihan continues her steps towards the elevator, without caring about Johan and Vita. Jihan is no longer concerned about how fate plays with her heart, with events that hurt her heart and her feelings.


Maybe he was immune, until jealousy no longer exists, no longer exists but is now covered with his attitude.


Johan sees Jihan leaving until Jihan enters the elevator.


He looked at the annoyed Vita who was now standing beside him, he was completely out of words, looking at Vita's bseas if he wanted to show Jihan, about his current status.


"Let go of my hand now" Johan said furiously.


Vita easily releases her hand from Johan's arm. After that Johan walked over quickly leaving Vita alone.
