A Couple of Hearts

The Empty Heart

Amora tasted the food Bryan had served. He seemed to be fondling the food that was being chewed. Bryan was worried about his cooking. But he believes he has presented it according to the direction of the youtube video he watched.

“Enak.” One sentence that came out of Amora's mouth made Bryan breathe a sigh of relief.

“Sgratitude.” Bryan.

“Seriousness deh. You learn to cook now?” amora asked as she ate her food.

“Yes, that's it. I want a girlfriend,”

Amora has been very entertained since she got to know Bryan. Either as a friend or as a girlfriend. As all his best friends leave him to pursue their dreams, Bryan stays by his side.

“Weekend here you have a gak?” event bryan asked looking forward to Amora's reply.

“Em, this week well? I guess not. Most Saturdays there is group work on campus.”

“What time is it? Let me pick up.” Bryan Barat.

“If not the most lazy afternoon.”

“OK later I pick up yah.”

“Bby origin don't be weird.” Amora Gerrutu.

“Quietly, I won't be weird. Just one weirdo doang.”

“Ye, it's the same aja.” Said Amora while shaking Bryan's ear. And the one who was told was just laughing.

The meal was also over. Now the Amora's part was washing the dishes. Although Bryan was prevented from doing so, Amora insisted on helping him wash the dishes. Bryan was silent to Amora washing the dishes.

And suddenly Bryan's smile grinned. An idea crossed his mind. He approached Amora and hugged her from behind. Amora who was surprised by the treatment paused for a moment the washing activity.

“Bryan, what are you doing?” amora asked, noticing Bryan's head start to lean on her shoulder.

“Again ngeliatin you wash dishes.” Answer it innocently.

“Iya I know. But I mean ak....” before Amora finished her sentence, Bryan immediately kissed her lips to make Amora speechless.

Amora's gaze stared right at Bryan's bead of eyes. And vice versa. Bryan was always hypnotized by Amora's beautiful, shining eyes. But the light in his jet-black eyes seemed to not display his sparkle anymore lately.

“Do you have any more problems?” the question made Amora turn her gaze around and choose to continue washing activities. Still in Bryan's arms wrapped around Amora's waist, the atmosphere was suddenly silent. He could not say a single word to answer Bryan's question.

But without Amora realizing it, her silent nature makes Bryan know that Amora really has a problem that seems still reluctant to be told to him. He did not want to force to immediately get an answer from Amora. Bryan chose silence and would not bring it up. Let Amora herself tell you when she's ready.

“I will always be next to you,” said Bryan right in Amora's ear while tightening his arms. Despite dating Amora for several years, she is still closed to her. But Bryan will continue to make Amora to be comfortable with him.

“Sorry,” said Amora was held back as if she was holding back tears.

“Gak papa's. I'll wait for you until you're ready for the story. Don't feel burdened. I will always be there for you.” Bryan's words touched Amora's heart. Meanwhile Amora could no longer hold back her tears. He turned around and hugged Bryan shedding all his tears in his arms.

Bryan stroked Amora's head slowly. He was very worried about his situation, but he also did not know how to be honest with Amora. The crying became more and more roaring. It was as if the cavity in his heart was hollowed out so deeply.

“OK, I will be there soon,” said Bara from behind his cellphone connection. It seems that he should return to the company immediately. But as he was about to rush away, his arm was pulled from behind.

“Sa.. I have no destination to go home. Bo.. can I come with..”.

“How dare you speak like that to the director?” cut Paul saw the woman's behavior as if she was taking advantage of the situation.

“Ma. forgive me. I also want to go home but I do not have the money to return to my village.” His voice stuttered as he lowered his head hiding his face in his hair.

“Paul, please take care of it. I have to get to the office.” Bara then got into his luxury car.

“Good, sir Director.” Paul said as he lowered his head and helped close the car door.

After Bara's death, Paul gave several pieces of money serratus thousands to Diva for transportation costs to his village. But his gift was immediately rejected by him. With annoyance Paul asked.

“What do you want? I've given you money to go home!”

“I don't need this money. I just need a job,” he said firmly.

“Oh my God's. This woman really makes me dizzy.” Paul then immediately contacted the HRD.

“Halo, Sir? Is there any vacancy information today?”

“For today it seems like nothing, sir. But we're short of one-man office girl.” Answer someone across the line.

“I happen to have one candidate.”

“Oh then I wait in the office yes, Sir.” The answer and the connection was severed Paul after answering it.

“You can work in office girl section. Can you?” paul asked while watching the local bloody woman.

“Iya, Sir. I can!” said enthusiastically. At least now he had a reason to stay even longer in the city. Because he did not want to go back to his hometown with empty hands.

Arriving at the office, Diva was immediately taken to the HRD section to be asked about her identity and others. Meanwhile Paul returned to meet Bara who was in his room.

“Have you taken care of?” bara asked when she saw Paul entering her room.

“She's been inserted into office girl.” section Paul answered while watching Bara who was focusing on his laptop screen while his fingers were busy dancing on the keyboard.

“Is there any urgent business?” ask Paul.

“Not too serious. I've handled it.”

“Hah, it always is. You're not letting me help you. What is the use of me as your personal secretary so far if the important work is always you who do.” Complain Paul.

Meanwhile Bara just laughed at the behavior of Paul who had been a coworker and his best friend. But while working on his work, it suddenly crossed his mind about the state of Amora. He immediately stopped his activities in front of the laptop.

“Oh yes, how about her situation? Have you investigated it again?” tanya Bara is serious. For several years now, Bara had been secretly watching Amora from a distance. Assign Paul to provide information about Amora's condition. Although actually he already knew that Amora had been in a relationship with a man named Bryan.
