BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO

5. A Repeated Insinuation

Nadia's legs suddenly felt heavy stepping, as soon as she saw AUDY R8 Grey parked on the roadside in front of the Angga house, when she arrived with Tristan to attend the Aqiqahan event of Angga's second child.

He regretted his efforts to help Mithalia meet Bimasena, making her look like a fool when talking to Bimasena. He was sure, Bimasena must have laughed at him.

Wanting to turn around, he had to tell Tristan what. Finally with a heavy step, he followed Tristan into the house of Angga. Angga and his wife greeted the two of them as they entered the living room.

As Angga said in the WA group, the night is a special event for his High School class friends. The faces that appear in the house of Angga almost all he knows, forming groups. Some were sitting on the sofa chatting, some were playing chess, some were standing near the dining table, eating also while chatting.

Nadia circulated a look for where Bimasena was in the room. Because he will avoid being near Bimasena. But he could not find the figure he was looking for.

After making sure the group sitting on the sofa was safe from Bimasena, he joined the place with Mithalia, Reyna, and Glen. Tristan joins a group that plays chess.

"At late anyway?" ask Mithalia who seems to dress up optimally tonight, the technique of the female bird attracts the attention of the male bird.

"Tristan, you have just returned from work" replied Nadia while sitting on an empty long sofa.

As he sat on the sofa, he noticed beside him a sling bag of men from a brand that not just anyone could have.

Got who?

Just now he was about to ask who put the sling bag on the sofa, knew a hand grabbed the object, and sat down beside it.

The owner of the bag.

The person he had avoided not meeting, was now already sitting beside him. Mengulum smiled at him. The smile that made Nadia's heart fall out instantly. Which was caused by a smile that was too alluring to see, mixed with embarrassment that had not been lost due to the wave in the phone line.

"Hi Nadia!" greet Bimasena.

"Hi!" reply Nadia with an uncontrolled heart rhythm. He simply repeated a single word of Bimasena without any additional words. I don't know what to add.

But apparently no other pleasantries were given to him by Bimasena. After that Bimasena was busy talking to Glen.

How does it feel to sit next to Bimasena?

What is clear is that Nadia does not need flowers, because she and Bimasena are impossible (impossible). Therefore he does not need to linger on the sofa (next to Bimasena), so that his heart remains in position when he returns home later. Because it's hard, not play.

Nadia held back a smile, seeing the habits of her two friends Mithalia and Reyna in front of her suddenly change. Two girls competing get Bimasena's attention. Those who were previously brought so calmer and shy pepper.

Not to mention the eyes of Mithalia and Reyna who did not stop looking at Bimasena with a look of admiration. Making him also steal a glance, to the man on his right, who was busy chatting with Glen about Jambi Province, Glen's home region.

Just looking at his back amazed him. While imagining if.. oh no, it should not be.

"If you like nature tourism, there is Sigerincing waterfall, Arai Indah waterfall, or you can hike on Mount Kerinci. When are you going to Jambi?" Glen explains his hometown to Bimasena, making Nadia distract from imagining Bimasena's back.

"In the near future" replied Bimasena.

"Take dong if you want to travel to Jambi," Reyna suddenly just nimbrung.

Bimasena smiled at Reyna, "Reyna, I'm going there, not for traveling, but for work (not for travel, but for work).

Makes Mithalia smile happily at the rejection Reyna got from Bimasena. Reyna.

"You moved to Jambi?" continued Glen.

"No, I'll be there once."

"What oil company do you work for? A bimoli? Sunco's? The film? You must have an important position" asked Reyna again. Trying to get as much info from Bimasena. But a very bad and rude way. The return made Mithalia who suddenly calmed down in the wind.

"None of the things you call Reyna where I work, I'm just a regular employee, I don't have an important position. It's young how can you get into position."

Nadia's initial assessment, Bimasena turned out to be a less open figure. Until this moment still hides the company where he works also his home address.

"His company name?" reyna was impatient.

Bimasena sighed at the point of questioning from Nadia, but eventually relented.

"FreddCo Energy Reyna" Bimasena finally answered also at Reyna's insistence.

"You...!!!" the word that came out simultaneously from the mouths of Mithalia, Reyna and Glen. Nadia was quite deep in heart, she did not want to show too much admiration for Bimasena.

"The biggest oil and gas producer in Indonesia is still, it's great that you can work in the Foreign Company," muttered Glen. But it seems that Bimasena was not affected by the praise.

Seeing Bimasena can be an entertainment to wash your eyes. But that goes for single women like Mithalia and Reyna. But for him, Bimasena is a poison. Continuing to see the charm of Bimasena could make Tristan feel bland to him.

Therefore he had to quickly move from beside Bimasena. Although the heart wants to linger sitting next to it, like a pair.

As soon as he saw the empty seat beside Tristan, he immediately moved there. Before he got drunk the charms of Bimasena like Mithalia and Reyna who involuntarily glared at Bimasena. She better be with her husband playing chess.

Than to continue to pay attention to a man who rarely speaks but his brain like to keep thinking that. He seems to have a heavy burden, perhaps in the office, because he does not have a household.

Now he sits beside Tristan. Watching her husband play chess against Alfredo. Alfredo is a sport, but chess is a brain sport. Of course the winner is the one whose brain is more honed, Tristan.

Tristan laughed happily at Alfredo's defeat.

"Come, who else would dare to resist? three opponents have all fallen" Tristan proudly challenged.

Alfredo stood up from his chair, walking towards the dining table. Maybe chess is so draining of his energy that he needs extra calories.

Without him thinking the new challenger Tristan is the one who actually made him move to sit next to Tristan. Now the man was already sitting in front of her, in line with Tristan.

This time, Tristan got a good opponent. Both seem to be thinking about planning their next move so as not to leave a favourable gap for the opponent as well as looking at good positions to attack.

Bimasena played very quietly. Unlike Tristan who often hissed, or muttered indistinctly.

"Damn!," said Tristan, while doing a blunder so that one piece becomes a victim of the blockade by Bimasena.

Bimasena smiled slightly and leaned back on the chair while waiting for Tristan to take his step.

Either maybe only Nadia who was too kegeeran, but he felt, Bimasena always looked at him without a smile. Or because it might happen that he was sitting next to Tristan. Inevitably his eyes with the eyes of Bimasena often meet. Makes his body react again, becoming hot cold.

"Why haven't you married Bro?" the question was suddenly thrown from Tristan's mouth. Either because of curiosity with the status of the single Bimasena or deliberately want to disrupt the concentration of Bimasena.

Bimasena laughed lightly but remained focused on the chessboard, "Not found a suitable one to be Bro's wife."

"Do you have any?"

"Not yet."

"Because it does not have a candidate, if the wife-to-be nyari do not just see the beauty of Bro. But look at the quality. Find a smart woman. A smart mother will make a smart child. Based on the study, I lowered my intelligence genes more because I have two X chromosomes than Dad has only one Y chromosome," Tristan explained in Bimasena.

Nadia felt that Tristan's speech insinuated her. Tristan was wrong in choosing a wife. Moreover, with frown, Bimasena's eyes looked at him and Tristan in turn.

Of course Bimasena quite know, in the old school days Nadia had above average beauty, but did not fall into the category of intelligent.

Bimasena's gaze increasingly dwarfed Nadia's heart at Tristan's words. He can accept Tristan's insinuations, but not in front of people. Especially in Bimasena.

Tristan continued, "In a long-term relationship, the physical charm of women is not very important, the fun is a couple who can be invited to talk about weighty and classy topics. Over time, beauty will fade, this is where smart women are superior and seem more sexy. According to another study, men who have intelligent wives live longer."

Tristan and Bimasena both chuckled after Tristan said the phrase longevity. But Bimasena hastily stopped his laughter probably because he saw the change in facial water from Nadia.

Tristan's advice was very true for Bimasena. But intentionally or accidentally hurt the heart of Nadia, his wife. Because not once was he just said and kept ringing.

Before that Nadia could only gulp down every bit the same innuendo from Tristan. But now Tristan's tongue became the sharpest sword that scratched his heart.

Makes her laugh bitterly with lips shaking. Tristan who was indifferent and remained focused on his chessboard, while Bimasena who kept looking at him with a worried look, made her eyes heat up. But he tried to stem the tears from spilling, not to show his weakness.

"Every man has different tastes Bro, in my office, can be said almost all of his employees are smart, qualified, and from a top university because of the recruitment of employees is very strict. But nothing interested me. My tendency is to see women at emotional maturity and kindheartedness. Sounds cliche maybe. But the smart woman I met, has not been able to captivate the heart. Men are visual creatures, so it is undeniable, in the eyes of men physical beauty is still important." Either Bimasena's words came from the heart, or just comfort Nadia's heart, but instead made her more hurt on Tristan.

"Where do you work?" tristan asked, as Bimasena said in his office full of smart women.

"FreddCo Energy," Bimasena answered briefly.

Tristan is wide, "you are great!(great you)."

"Excuse me, I'll go to the toilet first." Nadia could no longer hold back her tears. He went to the toilet half-run.

********

Nadia wiped her tears, tidied herself back up and walked out of the toilet through the living room, living room, terrace and out through the gate of the Angga house. He plans to return home without waiting for Tristan, also without the knowledge of his friends.

He was no longer at home because of the heartache of Tristan and the shame of Bimasena.

He leaned against the fence wall of Angga's house, waiting for the online taxi he had ordered.

Not yet the taxi came, someone was already standing next to him.

Bimasene.

I don't know where that guy showed up. Suddenly he was beside her and leaned against the wall of the fence.

After a moment of silence, Bimasena finally spoke,

"How we live our lives depends on how we look at life. Don't let negative thoughts and the views of others control you, even from those close to you."

"Every human being must have their own shortcomings and advantages. Don't lose the confidence you once had."

"Running life your way, with what you have. No need to be someone else. The future is bright for the one who always looks at life from the bright side."

"If you feel unappreciated, then value yourself."

"Don't be discouraged."

"Don't go home alone, it's late at night, go home with your husband Tristan. It'll be safer."

Nadia did not know what to answer, but her tears returned to the river.

When the online taxi came, Bimasena instead asked the taxi driver to leave, by giving a tip money earlier.

"Get in, it is not good for a woman to stand outside, these nights."

Nadia shook her head, "I'm waiting for Tristan here."

"If you want to stay here, I should also stay here looking after you. It's not good to be alone in this dark place. What people say later. Come in Nadia."

It may be safe for Nadia to be accompanied by Bimasena in that place, but it is not safe for her heart. So that he did not argue anymore and immediately went inside.

His heart had gone back out of control since Bimasena was standing next to him.
