AT THE CROSSROADS OF DILEMMA

Part 24. love clapping one hand

Yumna in the office was busy working while his men came to provide data on consumer preferences. Yumna accepted it and thanked him. Ken was still silent and stood staring silently, apparently all his mistakes as well.  

Yumna seemed happy to walk on the sidewalk, then saw a grandmother selling food on the side of the road while crouched asking how much the price of vegetables, the grandmother told five thousand rupiahs. Yumna asked to be wrapped, then pointed at the tannam like ginseng.

The grandmother said that this lotus flower is of good quality and will give a discount if you buy two pieces for one hundred and fifty thousand only. Yumna asked to wrap it all up. The grandmother seemed surprised that Yumna wanted to buy all of Grandma's vegetables. The grandmother prayed that Yumna would be blessed to buy everything.

Yumna also walked to the sidewalk with a bag of groceries, suddenly her steps stopped seeing a movie poster and crouched in front of her, then her face smiled to see the words “Sound Director: Kenzie.”

A man came crouching beside Yumna asking for a moment, Yumna was shocked and agitated. The man asked if Yumna would like to have lunch with him. Yumna increasingly tangent why arrived - suddenly invited him to eat. The man said he wanted to eat with her.

Yumna stood up again asking the reason, the man confessed because Yumna was his type, Yumna told him not to believe such a strange thing and wanted to leave. The man asked her to give a business card and make sure that it was the correct phone number, even checking with the lawyer association. Yumna looked at him, the man still begging to eat with him.

Yumna saw the name on the business card was “Lawyer Delano Wesley” then looked at the man sitting in front of her while cutting the roast. Yumna smiled, confessing Tonight will write in her diary because Things like this first happened to her.

“What is the basis, your type likes to approach women who are on the street? Then, will women fall for you? Maybe because you are a lawyer, they immediately fell in love with you.” said Yumna.

“Ah, this is the first time for me.” said Delano.

“So I'm the first? I'm the one who got the honor of being first? Then what do you like about me?” ask Yumna proudly.

“I feel, there is a special bond. When interested in someone, you will feel there is a special bond in that person or an aura like that, it will be instantly recognized.” explained Delano.

“So So is it? You feel that way. That's why you feel comfortable and immediately open yourself.” said Yumna.

Gi Tae confirmed with a big smile and asked her to drink, Hae Young closed the glass, because he thought it was not enough if only a glass. Gi Tae understood so asked to drink a bottle. Hae Young refused, she said she ate enough and went home soon. Gi Tae seemed to be able to only sigh. 

“I'm so flattered and not a stale base. It's a great honor. Someone wants to get close to me on the street, let alone her lawyer! But, I .. have to go home soon. Not long ago, I kept a male animal at home.” said Yumna, Delano claimed never heard of it.

“I didn't have ...” said Yumna then stopped and saw Delano looking panicked by drinking out a glass of beer.

“So, it turns out not PDKT on the road?Don't we? Who's The guy? The person who organizes this underwork activity?” yumna shouted while pounding the table. 

Brian saw Delano into his room, then surprised to see quickly when previously told them to have a day together. Yumna pushed him and walked into the room with a cynical look, Brian jumped in shock to see Yumna in his office.

Yumna was already sitting in the chair, Brian pacing back and forth with a nervous face offering green tea or hot coffee. Yumna immediately asked Brian turned out to be a lawyer. Brian confirmed. Yumna commented not similar. Brian admitted, Many say it looks like a lawyer.

“Your face does not reflect a lawyer.” said Yumna cynically, Brian said that his brain is like a lawyer.

“But you are a lawyer. But why do such cheap acts? What's reason?” yumna asked, Brian seemed confused and replied that Yumna looked lonely. Yumna quipped Brian was doing social work.

"As you can see, I represent the less fortunate.” Brian said.

“I asked, why are you like this to me? Today, is this your own work or ken meddling?” asked Yumma, Brian thought if you want to answer together, Yumna warned Do not make up and say frankly. Brian admitted to doing it himself. Yumna asked Brian why he did it.

“I've known Ken since I was a kid. I think you and Ken are very different. But anyway, you are very beautiful and attractive. I think it's better if you date a more attractive man.“ explains Brian finally sitting in front of Yumna. 

“Say things that make sense. Why don't you introduce me to him? Do you have a specific plan? Do you want me to do love last night and you want to keep me away from Ken.” asked Yumna.

“No, no, no! Really, I don't mean that. I think, rather than being introduced, it would be more dramatic if PDKT was on the road. As if this was the first time you met each other.” said Brian.

"When are you a lawyer, but not very convincing?” sindir Yumna with bulging eyes

Brian thought he was bad. Brian felt Yumna's words were very rude. Yumna realized she was not beautiful at all but do not treat this badly before she thought Ken was not a son of conglomerates or nobles and he was not a lowly person either.

“Why should I keep this? Are you better than me?” yumna yelled as she puffed the chair, Brian sat down while holding his legs looking nervous.

“It is better not to be further muddied. We'll just finish today. After all you and Ken are not meant to be together.“ Brian said.

“What if I like Ken?” yumna said, Brian said he couldn't. Yumna asked her why she couldn't. Brian still answered that he could not. Yumna shouted out in curiosity of the reason.

"I said it doesn't mean it can't, just accept it! The name of the woman Ken almost married was named Yumna too! Same with your name. Is it still unclear?" brian shouted, Ken glared in disbelief, Brian stood up from his seat and opened his glasses.

“The boy met you because he still hasn't forgotten the woman.  You're not his type at all. He never thought of being with a woman like you!” brian insists, Yumna chooses to stand up and will leave.

“Your name is the same as the woman he loves. But that woman is back, then you two are done. So, don't hurt yourself anymore and just get over it!” brian shouted, Yumna screamed hysterically to make Brian shocked, in the eyes of Yumna full of anger because she had to succumb to the beautiful Yumna.

Yumna walked home crying till night still down the street, her gaze blank with no more smiles like in the early morning.

Yumna spoke on the phone, asking why she wanted Yumna's number. Ken is in his car, seems tense and receives a message from his brother, phone number Yumna. At that time phone from “si next door neighbor” entered. Ken raised him, but there was no sound from Yumna.

"Don't see Yumna again" Yumna said.

Ken who heard it let out a long sigh while moving his phone away. Then saw Yumna in front of him and his phone was put back in the ear. Yumna asks Ken not to date Yumna anymore.

“I don't want to. I don't want you going out with a woman I hate. I could hate you too. You guys dating that was enough to piss me off. So, don't date him.” Yumna said.

“If you don't like someone, so everyone should hate that person too? Why is it childish once?” said Kenm

“For your sake, I'll hate the people you hate. I would hate that person so much.” said Yumna, Ken thought for what because no one asked for it.

“Because I like you.  If you like someone, then you will be so.” said Yumna dare to state for the second time. Ken was shocked to get out of the car. Yumna looked deeply at the person she loved. 

“I told you not to give yourself up to just anyone.” Ken said.

“You are not just anyone, absolutely not.” said Yumna.

"Every chance you have to move forward. Am I you think a pervert? From one Yumna one to the other Yumna?” shout Ken.

Yumna asks if his name is different if Ken wants to date him and proposes to change his name. Ken thinks Yumna should ask all the men in the world.

“Do any men want to date a woman who has anything to do with their ex? When they look at each other, their faces will be reflected. The man will continue to imagine the woman!” said Ken.

“Then why are you so nice to me? You are being nice to me.” Yumna said with glazed eyes - the glass was holding back her tears.

"I feel sorry for you. You were dumped before you got married and you came here and said you were dumped. I pity you. That's why I'm good to you. Am I wrong?” shout Ken.

“Then, fine. Because my name is the same as Yumna and you are kind to me because I remind you of Yumna. It's enough, you pity me. You're good to me because, that's enough. At least in it there is a feeling.“ said Yumna like still hoping.

Ken was furious because Yumna still did not understand, according to him who was in Yumna's mind was not right and confirmed that he did not like it. Yumna cursed Ken was stupid and very bad in terms of emotions, Ken arrived - suddenly a silent shadow Yumna came back saying, “One day you will cry because of me. I want you to cry.”

“One day you will cry because of me.  I want you to cry.” said Yumna then went inside the house.

Ken was about to enter but felt something that made his eyes bulge in surprise and the memories with Yumna came and his breathing felt tight. Finally he shouted to Yumna who was about to enter the house.

“What exactly happened? Why do you always come to my mind? Wh why?You have to move quickly.” said Ken, Yumna refused, Ken told Yumna to move quickly, Yumna still does not want to move.

“Then I moved? You want me to?!” yumna shouted, Yumna saw that Ken was very weak and weak and went into the house by slamming the door. 

Yumna saw Ken's shoes in front of the door directly stepped on him, Ken entered the house with a resuscitated chair recalling Yumna's words, “One day you will cry because of me. I want you to cry." Finally he was upset himself he thought Yumna was not that great.

While Yumna crossed her legs in the toilet like she was mediating and suggested to herself, “I'm not ashamed of myself. For love, there is no shame. The more you love, the more proud you are. I'm proud of myself.”  

But finally opening his own eyes he thought it was all just nonsense and embarrassing once, then crying alone inside the toilet.

“All those who do not love me should.” Yumna said with a vengeance.

Yumna's mother and her husband came, Mr. Abraham saw his son at home but saw in the upstairs room that the neighbor was not home because the room was still dark. Yumna's mother was convinced that if they ate, the man would come.

Yumna wiped her tears with a tisseu and was still visibly upset, then the sound of a key door button being pressed, Yumna frantically peeked out from behind the door, look alert who comes at night and ask who comes.

Yumna's mother screams who else came if not her parents, Yumna upset herself because her mother made a surprise and should have pressed the bell. Her mother asks where the bell is from, Yumna thinks at least knock on the door first. Yumna's mother told her son to change his clothes immediately and

Yumna's father prepared a small stove table and grilled the meat while cutting it. Yumna complains at night of having to eat grilled meat. Yumna's mother knows that every morning she eats grilled meat so why can't the evening. Yumna said she had just eaten meat.

“Then you can eat again. You are an only child, at least once a week we eat together.” said Ms. Yumna.

“Why not call first?” yumna asked, Her mother already knew her son would not allow her to come.

Yumna saw her mother wearing neat clothes and asked where she was from. Mother denied it, Yumna also saw her mother grooming, tempting Mom and Dad to want to go to a motel or something. Yumna's mother directly hit her son's head, while grumbling how dare to talk to their parents when going to hit with a spoon heard slamming the door from the next room.

Ken went home staring in anger at the door of Yumna's room, finally entered Yumna's room and shouted, “Kau.” while pointing at her hand and fixed on Yumna's father who was sitting. All were shocked and Ken realized that Yumna's parents had come, and lowered their hands and aimed at Yumna.

At that moment his eyes saw the meat pangang which made to swallow saliva, Ken finally apologized and wanted to go back to his room. Yumna's mother invited Ken to sit down and eat together. Ken refuses, but both of Yumna's parents force her to sit down and eat together, even Yumna's father pulls Ken's hand into the room to return to his son's room.

Yumna keeps Ken from entering her room because she thinks he is just a neighbor and has no relationship and tells him to quickly go back to his room. Yumna's mother hit the table with a spoon, making everything go silent. Ken fell down beside him.

“Do I teach you that way! How can we drive people away if we're eating? When cooking, don't just be for yourself. Make more for your neighbors too! If anyone visits, even if they only have rice and water, at least offer him a meal? Why so rude? Where can drive people away when there is food on the table.” shouted his mother scolded Yumna and told Ken to sit down.

Yumna's mother was sitting face to face telling the way their family ate like that, when there was a delivery Aunt coming when eating, then they would invite them to eat together.

“Although I had a fight with the woman who stole my money and grabbed it, when it was mealtime, we had dinner together. The wedding can be postponed. So, don't hesitate, eat. Where is something else as important as eating?” obviously Ibu Yumna then offered to eat with salt or sambal seasoning, Ken chose Salt.

Yumna glanced cynically, Mother Yumna offered oil, Ken refused it, Mother Yumna proudly said it was very similar to their family because it preferred salt. Yumna glanced cynically, her mother could see and felt that she was just talking. Ken looked nervous by squeezing his hands.

“At first this was a house. The owner did a bad job during the renovation. I heard what happened because the homeowner rented this place out and I'm grateful for the window security. I've been waiting for when I can make you food, so it's a long delay like this.” said Ms. Yumna and gave a piece of meat in a rice plate Ken and Ken ate it.
