BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO

34. What Makes You Change?

This afternoon he only had an hour to meet with Nadia, because his schedule today was very crowded. After his meeting in Pertamina was completed, he immediately drove his vehicle at maximum speed to Nadia salon.

Although Nadia had already blocked her number, it was not difficult for her to trace Nadia's position. He is not a man who fails to understand technology. So that only with a smartphone, he easily tracked Nadia's position. Nadia was detected at her beauty salon.

She sent flowers to Nadia this morning.

But because he had to attend a meeting, only this afternoon he had time to meet the intruder heart that day.

It was impossible to meet Nadia at night, because at night she was already with her husband, Tristan. It's not very easy.

He parked his car in front of the beauty salon, right next to Nadia's car. Then walk into the salon.

********

Nadia was walking across the waiting room, carrying a box containing bottles of hair care. His eyes accidentally looked out through the glass door, and saw Audy R8 car that was pulled over, then was about to park next to his car.

He also became a fog with irregular breathing. Until the box he was holding slipped out of his hand, and its contents scattered on the floor.

He ran into the WC to hide, but shut it down. What if someone is stuck?

Finally he ran to his study, then shouted to anyone who heard before he struck the door,

"If the man outside comes in, tell me I'm out!"

He closed the door to his office and locked it from the inside. Worried that Bimasena would not believe it when he came out and forced his way in.

********

As soon as Bimasena entered the salon, he found bottles strewn on the floor. One by one an employee.

But when he asked to meet with Nadia, the employee stammered, answering,

"M m mbak Nadia to come out."

"Cock his car outside?" He clearly doubted the speech of Nadia's employees.

"M m bak Nadia take a taxi online."

"Okay, I'm waiting here" he replied with a smile at the employee who wasn't good at lying. The employee was misbehaved when he threw a smile.

Bimasena sat on the sofa in the waiting room and counted down starting from the number 60 using minute units.

His eyes glanced sharply at Nadia's workspace with riben glass doors. His eyes could not penetrate in, but he was sure that there was a pair of eyes looking at him from within, behind that door.

********

Now, from behind the riben glass door Nadia was staring out towards the waiting room. With teary eyes he stood looking at a man sitting quietly on the sofa.

The man's eyes always glanced sharply towards his study. As if he was hiding behind a door. Maybe Bimasena doesn't believe what his employees are saying.

Verily, it is not until the heart lets Bimasena wait like that. But this is the best move, facing the persistence of Bimasena. He can't play games with his marriage to Tristan. So he chose to ignore all tastes in Bimasena.

Bima, please go home. Don't spend your time waiting for me. I'm not worth the wait.

It's not that he doesn't want to love Bimasena. The man had comforted his soul. He warmed his frozen heart. Shooing his bike, wiggling his shoulders.

But he must remain steadfast in maintaining his household heresy, no matter how great the temptation comes to entrench his heresy.

I'm sorry Bima.

I can't love you.

But wait ...

Why does he always miss Bimasena?

Misses longing.

Why did he not want anything bad to happen to Bimasena?

Does this mean he loves Bimasena?

What this means is that he can love .. oh no, he cannot accept if he loves Bimasena.

But all the feelings that grew in his heart showed that he had already ...

be in love.

And now he has to bury all the flavors so as not to arouse despair, which ultimately boils down to lara.

*******

Bimasena saw his watch. The same brand and model he gave to Nadia. But he uses the male version.

It's been 30 minutes. And Nadia was still peeping at him from behind the door. He could have stood up and banged on the door until Nadia came out. But he did not want to force Nadia.

It was enough for her to show care and feeling, giving space and time to Nadia, until Nadia herself who walked sincerely brought herself and her heart to him. He cannot force his desire. Especially to do things that are not easy.

Let time answer, he can be with Nadia or not.

*******

It's been 30 minutes.

Nadia still stood in her place, looking at Bimasena out. His heart is getting less and less. It's getting pity to see Bimasena. Until a single tear fell just like that for the man.

He chose to end all his wonderful moments with Bimasena. He could no longer feel the intoxicating cradle of Bimasena. It can no longer be washed away by the charm of Bimasena. The time has come to the end.

Although he could not be together, his heart already loved that man. Enough until he loves.

**********

40 Minutes passed.

Bimasena sat waiting in waiting room. Nadia is not out of her study yet.

50 Minutes passed.

The remaining time is 10 minutes. Looks like Nadia really doesn't want to see him anymore. He just sat on his back. His eyes no longer glanced towards the door. Because there seems to be no hope for Nadia to come out to see him.

60 Minutes passed.

He finally stood up. The time to see Nadia was up and she had to go back to her office to do another job. After saying goodbye to Nadia's employees he stepped out of the salon.

********

With tears Nadia looked at Bimasena who stood up from her chair, spoke to the employees, then walked out of the room.

From behind the window he could see Bimasena walking towards his car and opening the car door. But the man in the white shirt did not get into his car. The man instead stood facing the window where he was standing, smiled and nodded towards him. Then Bimasena got in his car.

Why did Bimasena smile and nod towards him?

Oh no, he just realized his stupidity.

The window in front of him did not use riben glass. So that whoever stands behind the glass, when the curtain is exposed, anyone outside can see it.

And Bimasena has seen it.

He already knows his lies.

I'm sorry Bima

We can't continue this. It all has to end.

Thank you for your heart-wrenching call Bim.

Here in this heart room. You've been over. But you cannot stay Bim.

*******

Tristan enters a mobile phone counter, which bears the logo of a bitten fruit. Soon Hakimah has a birthday, and he intends to give her a gift of a mobile phone.

Actually he does not need to spend a penny to buy a new phone, if only the chess gift phone he did not give to Nadia.

But his mother suddenly appeared to Nadia. The sleepless waited for him to remind them that it was their wedding day. He handed the gift to Nadia.

Some of the photos if he won the chess competition and got an expensive mobile gift have been spread in the alumni group. Nadia obviously already knows she got the gift and will later ask, where is the prize?

And now, he was forced to spend Rp. 27 million to buy a phone with the same brand and specifications as the phone given to Nadia.

Although it is quite draining savings, but it is not a problem for Tristan. Women like Hakimah are high value women, deserving the best reward.

While he was making a transaction at the cashier, a message came in from Nadia.

Nadias:

Tristan, you're having dinner at home tonight, aren't you? I'll cook suki for you.

He smiled amusedly. Since the night of their wedding anniversary, Nadia has changed drastically. Become more attentive to him. Is it because he gave Nadia a gift of a cell phone? What is the effect of a gift on a wife? Suddenly Nadia was romantic.

********

Last afternoon when he came home from the salon, he stopped by a supermaket to buy suki cooking ingredients. Among them are various processed seafood, pokcoy, enoki mushrooms including spices and chili.

Tonight he prepared suki for Tristan. He has cooked a clear succi sauce and a suki tom yam sauce.

The soup stove together with a closed pot containing sauce, he had placed it on the table. So does Rice, peeled shrimp, dumping chicken, fish roll, lobster ball, seafood tofu, fish bass, crab stick, chikuwa, shrimp ball, pokcoy, fish bass, the enoki mushrooms and chili are also on the table. The ingredients of suki stay cooked when Tristan has come.

Now he's sitting in a chair waiting for Tristan to come home.

He doesn't know what to do to cover up Tristan's guilt. In the recesses of his heart, he had promised to pay more attention to Tristan and be more patient with Tristan's attitude. To atone for his sins to Tristan. Because of how often Tristan hurt her heart, it is worth nothing compared to her betrayal of Tristan.

But .... Bimasena, what are you doing now?

Oh my God, please. Why Bimasena would not leave his mind. Bring longing and sorrow too.

He patted his head to cast off the shadow of Bimasena. Then she immediately contacted Tristan, because it was 7 pm but her husband had not reached home. Rather than continue to miss Bimasena, it was better to chat with Tristan.

Nadia: Tristan, where are you?

Tristan: On the road, we'll be there soon.

Location: Tristan ...

He hasn't spoken yet, Tristan has switched off his phone.

Hah Tristan's.

But ... hasn't he promised to be patient with Tristan's attitude?

After a few minutes Tristan finally returned. He immediately went to the living room to open the door that Tristan knocked on.

But as soon as the door opened, his chest was like being hit by a hammer. His body suddenly released the hormone adrenaline. His heart pumps more blood, making his blood circulate above the limit. His breath became stingy

The one standing in front of him was not Tristan, but ...

Bi ma se na's.

Oh God help me!

"You're Tristan's girlfriend, Bim? Tristan has not returned. But you don't wait for Tristan" he said hastily to Bimasena. His body shivered with cold. His hands and feet were frozen.

"I'm not looking for Tristan. I want to meet you Nadia" Bimasena said casually.

Does that man have no fear? Tristan will be home soon. It became a dagger.

"Tristan will soon arrive at Bim's house. Please go home" he said with great distress and anxiety.

He almost cried asking Bimasena to come home soon. But the man remained standing in his place so casually. Putting both hands in his pocket with fixed eyes looking at him.

"Please go home, Milky!" He was begging Bimasena for mercy to leave the house immediately.

The man stood in his place. So that his hand moved pushing against Bimasena's chest.

But the chest was filled with magnetic pull. He immediately pulled his hand back from there. Worried, lest he drop himself into Bimasena's chest.

"I wonder why you suddenly changed Nadia. That night you agreed I'd get into your life. The next day you asked me to stay away from you. What happened to Nadia?" Bimasena asked, the man's gaze plunging into his heart, triggering his heart to beat faster. Making cold sweat slid profusely on his forehead and palms.

He did not know what to answer because he was overwhelmed with anxiety and fear when Tristan came and found Bimasena was at his door.

He was in a tense and dangerous situation.

Does Bimasena want to see him die?

He asked Bimasena to return home.

But his vision suddenly blurred to see Tristan's car pulled over, and parked behind Bimasena. His heart has slipped into his legs. The floor that he incandescent feels soft makes it limp. He can't breathe anymore.

This is the end of his life.

Tristan is not alone.

Tristan came with the angel of the lifethrowers.
