Why Breakup?
CHAPTER 20: Why is it Painful?
“Tar, you from earlier?”
Mentari looked up as someone approached her, she smiled knotfully as she moved. “Oh, no way, sir. I also just came this.” replied Mentari, he allowed the person to sit down.
Abhimanyu, that man he is. A young man who currently serves as president director of a company engaged in manufacturing and distribution of consumer goods. Abhimanyu is handsome, handsome and very charismatic. Incidentally, his company is making a design for a beauty brand, where one of the designs that can attract the attention of Abhimanyu is the design of a Mentari who he saw through a short video on social media. Because of his interest, he immediately contacted Mentari to offer cooperation.
“Have you ordered a meal or a drink?”
“Not yet, Mr.”
“Judah, we order first. Gakpapa, right?”
“Bby, I order aja.”
Abhimanyu raised his eyebrow side, “Food?”
Mentari shook her head, “Drinks are enough, sir.”
“Gak papa, food too. I also happen to not have eaten. So, while obrolin our cooperation, while eating also.” Mentari grimaced softly, confused to refuse how else until finally he nodded his ass.
Abhimanyu immediately called the waiters, ordering food as well as drinks for them. Until finally Mentari took out his iPad to show the design he had made, while waiting for the food to be ready, he will talk about their cooperation.
“This, Sir. I have made the design,” Mentari bring the iPad closer to Abhimanyu, “As you asked, I made a simple design but still show all the aspects that are important points in the product. I also try to make the design as unique as possible so that later the design is iconic and continues to be remembered by consumers.”
Abhimanyu nodded, looking in more detail at the designs made by Mentari. So far nothing has disappointed, all the design of Mentari is really satisfactory.
Mentari smiled in a knot, waiting for anxious expectations of the response Abhimanyu would give.
“I like the design,” Abhimanyu looks up, smiles at Mentari. “Interesting, unique but still simple, not excessive especially until tacky.”Mentari was happy to hear it. “But, I think I want you to find another color. Because I think this color still reflects the brand next to.”
Mentari nodded, she agreed with the advice Abhimanyu gave. “Iya, sir, ready. I will look for another color. But, for other details how, sir?”
“Overall I like,”
Mentari smiling wide, “Siap, sir. So, later I will find another color and as soon as possible I will send the sample to mr.”
“Iya, thanks, yes.”
Before long, the order came and was immediately presented in front of them.
“Please, Tar.”
“Thanks, Sir.”
They also dissolve in chat while enjoying food, Mentari who can indeed melt the atmosphere and the type of friendly women make Abhimanyu who invited him to talk was happy. Moreover, what Mentari talked about was connected with what Abhimanyu talked about, not to mention until the ashtray. No doubt since the first meeting Abhimanyu was immediately fascinated by the figure of Mentari. Not only beautiful, but also smart and attractive.
“Oh, yes. You came here on what?”
“It just so happens that I brought my own car, Sir.”
Abhimanyu berohria, even though he intends to offer a ride if only Mentari did not answer that. However, Abhimanyu attention was immediately diverted to the ring embedded in the sweet left hand of the woman. Since their first meeting, has he seen the ring or is it possible that he has only come to his senses now?
“You already have a partner, Tar?”
The surprised Mentari actually heard such a question, he looked up slowly at Abhimanyu who immediately cleared his throat seeing the clumsy smile that Mentari showed.
“I mean, that's your left ring finger on the ring and I just saw it like it or maybe I'm not aware, huh? I didn't mean anything, yeah. I just asked.” Abhimanyu laughed crisply, trying to melt back the atmosphere that felt awkward due to his actions. Stupid, he cursed at her stupid-sounding words.
Abhimanyu nodded his head, “True, women like you may not have a partner. Must be out there a lot of men who want to be with you.”
Back, Mentari just smiled. Was that lucky of him?
“If you may know, who is that lucky man, Tar?”
***
Mentari stepped foot into the parking lot, he just finished meeting and dinner with Abhimanyu. And, now Mentari intends to go home. However, his steps came to a halt as someone greeted him.
“Hai, see you again we.”
The mentor smiled clumsyly, he nodded politely. “Night, Sir.”
Sounds upset to hear the greeting Mentari, more precisely because of the call that was spoken by the woman. “That's how many times I said, don't call me sir. Call me name aja, Kelvin gitu.”
“It feels impolite if I call you by the name doang.”
“Sopan really, anyways we are not in the work area where you need to call me Sir. Udah, gakpapa, call Kelvin. Anyway, I feel really old if you call me sir, our age seems not much different.”
Confused mentari must say it or not.
“You're new to dinner, huh?” asked Kelvin, he was really friendly and thought he knew Mentari well when they only met a few times.
Mentari nodded in response to Kelvin's question.
“Yeah, I am glad to see you here. Wishing you had just come and wanted to eat here, I will take you. We're dinner together. But, you're done it turns out.”
The corner of Mentari's lips trembled at Kelvin's words, completely honest as it were and the man behaved as if they had known him for a long time.
“You go straight home or how?”
Mentari nodded, “Iya, I want to go straight home.”
“Need me to drop?”
Mentari quickly shook his head, “I brought my own car, sir. Thanks for the offer.”
“What if—” Kelvin's speech is interrupted when his phone rings, the man clucked slowly at the screen of his phone when he found out who contacted him. Ignored the call, more interesting Mentari in front of him at this time.
“Pak Kelvin, I'm sorry, yes. Afraid overnight. Mari.”
Without waiting for an answer from Kelvin, Mentari quickly rushed to his car. It would be much longer if he didn't keep responding to the man. Hopefully, his attitude like this has no effect on the job. Hope so.
Kelvin smiles at the departure of Mentari, “Cautious Mentari.” Kelvin clucked, anxious to see Mentari's behavior. Only the woman who managed to make him curious since their first meeting. And, he was already determined to make Mentari his.
“Yes, yes, this is me there now. Noisy.” upset Kelvin when a call from the same person goes to his phone. He rushed away.
While Mentari, he immediately opened the car door when he was in front of his car. However, his intention was scrapped when he saw the arrival of Angga who seemed to rush out of his car. Hurry Mentari hide, do not want his presence here known.
“Iya, Mel. I just arrived too. Can you wait a minute, right?”
Mentari immediately fell silent at once hearing Angga mention the name of another woman. Which woman now? Amelia? The most beautiful women avoid all this time. Is it as easy as Angga looking for happiness without his being in it? But isn't that what Mentari wants? But why is it painful?
