Andra and Azimah (Contract 2 Marriage)

17

Andra enters into a nonchalant attitude towards Azimah, so does Azimah. While eating the two were more silent, only Ronald and Charlotte occasionally spoke to reduce the silence between them.

"How long have you been dating?" ask Charlotte suddenly.

Ronald rubbed his nape at a glance while Andra and Azimah turned to each other. Before long, yet from the gaze of Andra Azimah knew he was curious about their relationship..

"We're not dating!" ronald answered while feeding the rice into his mouth.

Hearing that, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Andra's lips.

"You guys are so close! I guess you guys are dating" continued Charlotte..

"You guys are very close too? Are you guys dating too?" azimah timpal.

Charlotte smiled awkwardly. Deep in his heart he did like Andra, but because Andra's heart was only for Adelina, Charlotte gave up. Whether or not Adelina is on Andra's side, she will never be able to touch Andra's heart.

"Andra and I were just friends. We know each other because Adelina is my cousin." explains Charlotte..

"Oh ..," answered Azimah briefly.

They finished lunch and returned at the same time. Arriving in front of the Azimah shop berampit Andra and Charlotte.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lee and Ms. Wang!" azimah said to both.

Azimah and Ronald left the place first. Charlotte and Andra stared at Azimah and Ronald with incomprehensible eyes.

"Is he Adelina's replacement?" Charlotte's words made Andra look at her confusedly..

"What do you mean?" ask Andra

"Easy. Is he a replacement for Adelina?" charlotte obviously..

Andra snorted while putting both of her hands into her pants pocket. His jaw is hard, I don't know for what? He hesitated to answer Charlotte's question..

"Emerge looks special in your eyes! I thought she was Anas' mother-to-be" Charlotte continued..

"Don't talk nonsense! My age and Azimah were far apart, and the Azimah was the son of Iyas and Selma, my friend. Is it possible that I'm in a relationship with my best friend's son?" denying Andra at once justifies his heart that began to be uncharitable to hear Charlotte's question.

Andra was about to leave Charlotte for her car park. But Charlotte held him back with words.

"If you love each other, it's no big deal. Many couples get married and live happily even though they are quite far apart in age. About you and Iyas. Iyas and Selma were not ancient people who did not think about the feelings of their children. I saw the same thing with Azimah. The way he looks at you, the way he talks to you makes me sure you have the same feelings. Why don't you try it?' challenge Charlotte with hands perched on Andra's shoulders..

"Keep that hand!" andra's staring sharply at Charlotte..

Charlotte upset Andra with her words. Andra convinces herself by rejecting Charlotte's statement. But Charlotte easily made him upset again.

"From you taking care of us, you better take care of yourself. Find a partner and get married!" andra said he got in the car and let Charlotte laugh at him.

Andra lowered her car glass. He looked at Charlotte for a moment.

"If you're not busy, go visit Anas. You guys haven't seen each other in a long time" Andra said..

"All right, I'll visit tonight. Tell your waitress to prepare a nice dinner for me" Charlotte quipped.

"alright. Looks like I'll have to hire a good chef if I have to invite you!" andra's reply was accompanied by a small ruckus

"Good idea!' their laughter exploded. Andra withdraws from Charlotte. Charlotte took a slow breath staring at Andra's departure. His heart ached because Andra never glanced at him. But he knew he could not fight Azimah or Adelina. Both have a special place in Andra's heart

As usual, Ronald picks up Azimah in his office. Home together as usual. There is nothing more than talking and joking in the car. But on the way Ronald tried to talk about his intentions to the Azimah.

"Azimah ..," call Ronald in doubt but the view remains focused on the streets.

"Holy, sorry if I talked too soon about this. But I can't hold it anymore.." Ronald paused for a moment and turned to Azimah. The Azimah did the same.

Ronald pulled over his car which had already reached the Lu family residence.

"I like you!" ronald stared at Azimah.

Azimah gaping in quite a long time. Upon realizing what he had heard, Azimah lowered her head, playing her fingers. Confused what to answer.

"What is Azimah? You don't like me? Or do you already have a lover?" ask Ronald worried.

Azimah lifted her face, shaking her head slowly to appease Ronald.

"Not both, Ronald. I don't have a lover. I like you too, just like friends. Not a lover." Azimah.

Long Ronald looked at Azimah then he pulled the hand of Azimah, squeezing it slowly in his grasp. Azimah did not refuse, he let his hands held tightly by Ronald..

"Am I going too fast?" Ronald spoke again.

"So, I'm confused too, Ronald. I was confused by my own feelings" Azimah lowered her head while looking at the grip of her hand inside Ronald's. Ronald let Azimah talk, he wanted to know the reason behind Azimah's answer to him.

"I've liked a man for a long time. I wish for a while I could catch his attention. It's just, the more I keep it to myself the more claustrophobic I get. She never saw me as a woman" said Azimah.

Ronald quietly listened to all the outpouring of Azimah's heart.

"He loves another woman, Ronald.. I have no place in his heart!" continue Azimah with two clear circles accompanying the bitter taste.

"Is he Mr Lee?" guess Ronald. Azimah quickly raised her face. His eyes were sharp on Ronald.

"I saw different eyes when you looked at your uncle! Am I right?" ask Ronald to make sure.

"Ronald ..., A-I" Azimah kelu's tongue. He couldn't continue it. He just fell down and cried there..

"No problem! You're not wrong. Sometimes love comes to be felt in the wrong person. Of course very happy if everyone can be equally reciprocated with his feelings" Ronald tried to calm the Azimah. Gently rubbed his shoulders. Trying to strengthen his own heart..

"I gave up on my feelings, Ronald. But when I saw it again the defense I had painstakingly made was self-destructed. I can't forget it. It hurts more than I hold everything!" shave the Azimah again.

"Do you want me to help you forget?" ronald asked suddenly..

Azimah looked at him confused.

"I'm not forcing you to do this. I don't want to force you to accept me either. But I also want to try to reach your heart. Maybe with my efforts, you can forget Mr. Lee or the best thing you can do is accept me as your lover!" obviously Ronald with a smile puffed it up.

"I'm kind of using your feelings. I admit that I want to forget about Uncle Andra. But I don't want to make anyone hurt by my intentions!" reject Azimah.

"I don't think you're using me. Listen to me, it's like business. Equally beneficial for both of us. You can forget Mr. Lee and I can be your lover. Symbiosismualism!" ronald assured the Azimah.

"Don't be crazy, Ronald. Feelings are not a place to buy and sell or a place to look for profit and loss like a business you say" Azimah quickly.

"At the end of the day it's like that, it's worth it when our feelings are achieved and harmed when our feelings are ignored." Ronald answered casually.

"Don't think too much about the things we haven't done. I just want to try to get to your heart. Please let me, please ...," whine Ronald like a child.

Azimah was not able to laugh at the behavior of Ronald who looked like Axello when he wanted something. With a whimper Ronald Azimah can laugh off. Only with his whimper.

"Maybe it's time! Maybe Ronald can make me forget Andra" Azimah..

Azimah also nodded slowly. Getting the Azimah's answer, Ronald smiled broadly and embraced the Azimah. Azimah replied with doubt.
