Together but not the same
Episode 38: Back

...🍁🍁🍁🍁...

Ara stared at the pile of files in front of her tiredly. He has been working on it since morning but it has not been finished either. He's hungry too.

"I'm so hungry. And Nina hasn't come back yet. Did he go take a look at the handsome young man first?" Nina had a habit of meeting a handsome young man, she would look at the young man's face until the young man left and was invisible. New Nina will also leave that place. That sucks.

Ara's office door was suddenly opened by someone. A handsome young man appeared to walk towards Ara with a tote bag in her hand.

"I know you haven't had lunch. So I brought you some food. Now come on, eat first." Max puts the food he brought on Ara's desk.

Ara sighed and stood up to take her food. He did need it to fill his stomach that had sounded from earlier.

"Are you running away from your company Max?" tanya Ara fed herself with the food Max brought.

"No. All my work is done. That's why I came here. I'm so bored of having to go back to the apartment." Max looked at Ara who looked greedy eating the food.

"My secretary forgive me for giving you my job. I don't focus on working when I think about this woman in front of me." Max said in his heart. But he couldn't do anything so look at it now. He lied and said all his work was done.

"Huh. You must be so happy now that you can relax. As for me, my work is still a lot and I'm already very tired."

"Do you need Ara's help? I can help you with that." Max bargained. He felt sorry for Ara. When many women go shopping, vacation to spend the day, Ara will only work on documents that contain many words in it.

Ara is very competent. He never seemed to complain, Ara would just say tired. But even so, he will still finish his job.

"No thank you. I'll do everything. And did you forget that this is my company? I don't want my company's important data to leak." Ara looked at Max with a cynical look. But behind that he was just kidding.

"God. Am I that sneaky in your eyes? There's no way I'm gonna let your company go bankrupt" Max said. "While I just want you to succeed your way. I love you Ara." continued Max inwardly. There was no way he would say that in front of Ara.

"Did you see Nina?

"That weird woman? Has he not returned yet? looks like he's got a new victim." Max laughed softly. Poor for the young man.

"Don't say he's weird Max. He was just chasing his love. Oh, or are you jealous?" Ara's up and down her brows teased Max.

"Are you out of your mind, Ara? Why should I be jealous? I just feel sorry for the kids out there. Nina must have traumatized them." Max laughed loudly. He held his stomach while laughing.

"Stop laughing. You're making me feel no appetite."

"Then I throw this food away. You said you're not feeling well." Max took the food in Ara's hand.

When he was about to stand, the suit that Max was wearing was pulled by Ara.

"I said if you laugh like that again I don't have a taste for food. So stop laughing like that. You look like a male antagonist." Ara took back the food in Max's hands. Ara resumed her eating.

"It doesn't matter if I play the antagonist role. The important thing is that people will see and remember if the person who plays him is very handsome." Max pulled his hair back.

Ara just kept quiet do not want to impersonate Max's psyche that also infected strange from Nina.

"I'm full. I'll continue my work again." Ara again sat herself in her seat of pride continuing her pending work.

Different phones nailed his pants sound make Max's daydreams scatter instantly. Max went out to pick up the phone.

"What's wrong?" max asked if there was anyone across.

"Sir, you need to get to the company. There are important files to check and a lot of work piling up. I can't do everything myself. Please sir." said his secretary who begged for mercy with many jobs.

"Tirta, why did you call me? I told you not to bother me. You know that I'm trying to get the heart of the woman I love." Max said resentfully.

"I'm sorry, sir. But after this you can punish me. Sir must return now. Your signature is indispensable at this time."

"alright good. I'll be there soon. You're interrupting my time with my woman."

"Thank you sir. I love you."

Max immediately turned off the call. His secretary was crazy to say that he loved Max. What would people say if they heard that. People might think he's a guy.

Max went back into the room. "I'm sorry Ara. But there was a sudden job at the company and I had to leave immediately. You're not a papa if I stay?"

"Go Max. I didn't tell you to accompany me." replied Ara ketus.

Max, who got the answer, was upset. Max walks towards Ara and lightning-quickly slips Ara's cheek and then sprints out of the room before Ara runs into her.

"MAX CAME BACK HERE WHAT YOU DID."

Mak laughed at Ara's screams. He loved to beat up that woman. Max leaves the company for his company..

Ara looked at the door that was already closed. Max was always like that.

"Surely he lied when he said that his work was done."

"Huh. I better get on with my job." Later after returning home Ara will go somewhere to visit her beloved.

"Sir, do you remember everything?" Asked a young man to his master who was seen sitting on a chair in a stuffy room with minimal lighting.

"Yet. I still don't remember everything. But I remember if I had a lover." said the man sitting in the chair.

"It's good sir if you remember. This way you can return to New York as soon as possible. Both of your parents must be very happy to see you sir."

"Yes, they must be very happy. I'll be back in New York in a month. I'll take everything that's been snatched away from me." the man took the cigar and lit it. Flowing down every smoke he put out in his hand.

"Okay, my master will take care of everything." Then I'll go out." The young man left his master there..

"I'll be back... You'll know the consequences of having dared to make me lose it."
