TINI SUKETI
36. Third Choice (2)

"We're outside. When you called me Sir? Agus is just that." Agus glanced at Tini next to him.

"But this is, right, business, sir. I think it's more comfortable to call Mr. Aja," replied Tini. He laughed again in his heart. I feel satisfied to treat Agus that way.

It turns out that what Agus meant by typical food in Jakarta was the restaurant Sate Kabayan. The restaurant does sell all kinds of delicious Jakarta special menu. Agus walked ahead. Tini was busy tidying up her clothes and patting the dust in front of her suit.

Tini does not want to spread charm to Heru. He knew Heru was married and had a happy household. But, which woman does not want to look beautiful in front of the man she admires. Tini repeatedly cleared his throat standing behind Agus.

"Hey, finally nyampe. Come, sit!" exclaim Heru.

Tini had not seen the man's face. But his voice alone was able to make Tini's soul restless.

"Where is Tinnya?" ask Heru again.

"Modyar," muttered Tini. Being asked by a Heru makes his feet look like they are not tracking the earth. He prepared the most natural expression that would not make Bara suspicious. Her best friend's husband frowned every time he did something strange.

Agus had not sat down yet, he stepped to the other side of the chair and shifted it for Tini.

"Sit here, Tin." Agus patted the seat back.

Tini looked at the chair but did not lift her gaze. "Thank you, sir." Tini nodded.

"Eh, there's Budhe Tini," Bara said.

Tini grimaced towards Bara. A little worried about the Bara greeting that can sometimes be unexpected.

"Come, Ma'am Tini sit down first," pinta Heru.

It was at that moment that Tini raised his gaze. Had it not been for Heru's masculine voice she had dreamed of, Tini might not have been tempted to look over. Tini raised her face looking at Heru who was smiling.

However, Tini's gaze on Heru, slipped on the foreign figure next to the man. Perhaps the man was a friend during the lecture that Agus intended. The yellow-skinned man who put on a serious face, as he slowly stepped closer to the chair, was shown by Agus to be in his place.

A large square table was surrounded by three men. A man Tini had never seen before was sitting right in front of her chair. Next to the man, Heru sat down casually. While Bara, sitting in front of Heru. Agus occupies a seat between Tini and Bara.

Tini could not look at Heru. What shirt Heru wore, how the look of Heru at that time, Tini did not have time to look at him.

His gaze was fixed on the figure of the man with a gray shirt rolled up to the elbow. The man with the sideburns that passed through his ears and dimples that looked to decorate as the man gave a small nod and extended a thin smile towards Tini.

Instantly Tini's body went limp. He moved his stand very slowly. When he put his map on the table, he accidentally muttered, "Mbok Simbok, sengkulku bengkuloki sek bewokan ngunu. (Switch, lemes my knee saw the shell.)"

"That's right, Ma'am. Ben ogak. (Sit down, Ma'am. Let's not lemes.)"

Tini sculpting. His knees are getting weaker. The handsome man in front of him understood what he was saying.

"Tin, you know, this is my friend and Heru. His name is Hapsoro Wibisono. Call him Wibi," said Agus looking at his friend from across the table.

"Auntie, it's Tini. One of the most competent staff in my office" Agus said. He hoped to melt Tini's mood that day was so cold to him.

But, the praise from Agus just passed by in Tini's ear. He doesn't care.

Wibi extended her hand to Tini, "I'm Wibi" she said later.

Tini felt her hands numb and cold instantly. "Tini," said Tini with a raucous voice and choked. Very handsome and according to the specifications, he thought. But, admiring the married man was enough to do to Heru. Tini had been kapok for too long immersed in the charm of the man.

"Mas Wibi, have a family?" ask Bara from the corner of the table.

"Yet. Still free. This Heru is among those who are fast married in our generation," replied Wibi while patting Heru on the shoulder.

Oh My God, whispered Tini inwardly. Tini turned to Bara with a face full of gratitude. Only then did Tini feel that Bara was really useful in his life. He felt he could kiss Bara right then and there, having voiced the question inside his head.

"We haven't seen each other in a long time, huh, Mommy." Heru looked at Tini with his perfect smile.

Unfortunately, Tini ignored the word. Heru's words also passed by just like that in his ears.

Tini felt the ceiling of the restaurant was turned into a rainbow. Tini raised her face and glanced at the sideburns of Wibi which turned out to be much nicer than Heru had.

Herus? Herus? Who her? Tini giggled in her heart.
