Section 77

Ting.the sound of elevator doors open.

Secretary Dito was increasingly tense because it meant they had reached the floor of the place where Askara's room was.

"Let's Miss". Dito's secretary instructed Dalila to follow him from behind to get to Askara's room.

Dalila did not open her voice, but followed Dito's secretary from behind.

Secretary Dito's footsteps stopped right in front of Askara's room.

"Sorry Miss, but wait here.I will tell Mr. Askara in advance the arrival of Miss Dalila.

"Alright". Dalila replies to understanding the procedure of Dito's secretary's work.although he is Askara's best friend but this is their first meeting after her return from Germany which must have taken Askara by surprise at her arrival.

Secretary Dito entered Askara's room after knocking on the door and got the approval of the owner.

"Excuse me sir". said secretary Dito standing not far from Askara's desk.

"What is Dito doing?". asked Askara without taking his eyes off the files in front of him.

"There are those who want to meet with the master". said Dito's secretary with a face that is somehow, difficult to explain.

"Who? if there is no promise it is better to say that I cannot. My work is a lot today.

"But mister_".

Askara quickly cut.

"You're starting to dare to argue with me?". asked Askara coldly but his face was still loyal to the file in front of him.

"Well my master will men_". has not been finished Dito's secretary said, Dalila has already entered.

"Are you that busy to meet?". Dalila's question emerged from behind Dito's secretary's back.

The door of the room slightly opened allowing Dalila to hear their conversation, where Askara refused to meet.

Deg.

That voice, the very voice Askara recognized.

Askara lifted her face from the file that had attracted her attention earlier.

Askara's body froze, until it did not feel the files in his hold detached from his hand. Askara's eyes locked onto the woman standing in front of him.

"Lila?". muttered Askara staring in disbelief at the beautiful woman standing in front of him.

Dalila favoured a sweet smile that had always been able to hypnotize Askara all this time.

"It's me". Dalila said folding her hands on her chest. putting on a sullen face because Askara refused to meet her, although it is not entirely the fault of Askara because the man does not know that he wants to meet.

"Why are you here?". Askara was surprised not to play, but there was a sense of happiness in her heart seeing the real Dalila standing in front of her.

"Secretary Dito, please leave us alone". It is not Askara who rules, but Dalila.

"Well Miss." Dito's secretary resigned from the room.

Askara, who had taken himself by surprise, now stood up from the seat of his greatness.

"I miss you". Dalila immediately hugged Askara to channel her longing to her best friend.

Askara suddenly sculpted when Dalila suddenly hugged him. Inversely proportional to the bright face of Dalila, Askara just put on his flat face.

"When are you back?". asked Askara in her soft voice.she did not dismiss there was much longing lodged in her heart that she wanted to let go.

Dalila first untangled their embrace, though Askara's face seemed unwilling.

"I'm new to this day, and you know what brought me here?".

"What?". asked Askara but his eyes could not be seen looking at the beautiful face of Dalila.

"You're married without giving me any news, you're so mean". Dalila said as she smacked down Askara's chest to vent her frustration.

Askara was quite surprised from where Dalila knew the news, but the next second he realized and believed that Dalila must have gotten the news from social media that was busy talking about who the figure of his wife.

"You sit down and we talk". Askara guides Dalila to sit on the sofa.

"So?." Ask Dalila briefly who was understood by Askara.

With a long sigh, Askara recounted everything that happened to her after Dalila left her where she was drunk and went to Dalila's apartment until the incident happened there.

The look on Dalila's face clearly changed when she heard story after story that slid from Askara's sensual lips.

"I really can't believe you did that, Askara". Dalila said as Askara finished telling her everything without being missed, including the agreement at the beginning of the marriage that Askara has now broken down.

"At first I was also difficult to accept, but gradually I was able to open up and accept everything.

"Then where is he now? I mean your wife". asked Dalila.

"He's in the mansion, he has to rest a lot because some time ago he had bleeding.

Dalila shut her mouth in disbelief. "Geez, you have to take better care of her". Dalila was aware of the look on Askara's face, implied a great sense of concern for his wife.

Askara just nodded small.

"Why did you just come back now?" Askara stared into Dalila's face.forgetting their conversation about the events that had befallen her.

"Because my studies have just finished". Dalila replied.

"When you don't leave me, surely none of this will happen.I won't ruin another woman's life.

"Hey.you don't talk like that. Everything that happened must have been at God's will, you just have to do everything well to atone for your wife's guilt.

Honest in his little heart, Dalila also felt a little unwilling after knowing the news that Askara was married and even his wife was pregnant. during his time in Germany, he said, Dalila only realized how empty and lonely the days she lived without Askara were.

But Dalila is not a selfish woman, she used to reject Askara to make the man make a mistake to seize the honor of a woman.

Dalila prefers to harbor her feelings now, she is unlikely to make Askara hurt a second time especially if she has to put Askara with a difficult choice just because she expresses her true feelings.

Maybe it's time for Dalila to let Askara go, because all this time she was the one who wasted Askara's feelings.

"I miss you, Dalila". Askara stared fixedly at Dalila's shady eyes.

"I miss you too, my friend". Dalila purposely paused her last words to affirm their relationship was only that limited because Dalila knew Askara used to adore her very much.

Askara smiled wryly at the words of Dalila.he thought that whenever Dalila would only consider him a friend.

The arrival of Dalila today, made the taste reappear in Askara's heart.The taste that had completely not gone even did never leave his heart.

Askara could even forget Anin's reflection from her mind while with Dalila as she is today.
