Behind the Rain and Memories

39. Missing Room

It has been a week since her return from Bali, and Alina and Max have never met again. Whether because Max is still angry or indeed high job mobility makes the man do not have time to just chat with his lover.

Max did not not contact at all, the man often sent messages, sometimes also called, but all was limited to asking for news. Is that their relationship?.

Alina regretted that she had wasted the time that Max had, when the man was near her he was making trouble and now he was eating his own words, allowing Max to attach importance to the work on his appeal was a mistake. Want to do something but prestige.

Unconsciously the clear circle that had been held since he was now allowed to flow freely as the shaking on the boat signifies the girl crying spilling a tightness that squeezes the chest. If this is the form of punishment Max gives, he admits the man succeeded.

Alina misses Max. Very homesick.

Unwilling to continue the mess, Alina finished all her work early and once the office hours were over, the girl immediately ordered a taxi online to Tower Mulia Jaya.

Even though it was late afternoon, he was sure Max was still there.

Alina accidentally did not tell Max about his arrival, giving a little surprise would be fun, especially this is the first time he stepped on the office. A knot smile continued to adorn his lips, imagining himself hugging Max, inhaling the scent of perfume that had been his candle since the beginning of the meeting.

" I'm sorry, Mr. Max is having a meeting, it will be over in an hour" said the receptionist as Alina approached to ask the man's room.

" Can I know where his room is? I will wait there," asked Alina expectantly.

" Shortly, I'll call his secretary first,"

Alina nodded. A moment later the receptionist girl again spoke to someone through the intercom.

Alina circulated a look, idle interior of the building that looked very spacious, twice as wide as Mega Buana. The atmosphere of this office was also more crowded, even though the working hours had ended half an hour ago.

" I'm sorry I haven't made an appointment before, so we can't allow you to wait there" the receptionist clasped her hands to her chest in a sign she couldn't help.

Although disappointed Alina still implies a sincere smile.

" If I'm allowed to, can I sit here for a minute?" ask again.

The receptionist girl did not mind, she immediately let her. Alina thanked him and then stepped onto the cream color sofa and landed her body there. His body was tired, but his heart space was much more tired because it bore a longing that was growing.

The girl decides to contact Max, but her phone is off, making Alina even more miserable. Instantly he hesitates, between going home or waiting for Max who does not know exactly when to get out of his room.

The sight did not escape the observation of the receptionist girl.

" It's a pity, as pretty as it was rejected Mr. Max, how are you with us - we're just capital make up," he said to a fellow professional sitting next to his desk.

" Totally, among the fans of Pak Max who always come here, this is the most calm and not sneaky, friendly and polite again, actually what the hell would want Mr. Max, what the hell, already premium quality is still rejected," added his partner pompori.

Meanwhile, Alina finally decided to keep waiting, she sent a message to her mother saying that she would be late to come home. To get rid of boredom, Alina also took a magazine that was pegged next to the sofa.

" Tomorrow can please clear my schedule mbak, I have business outside the office" said Max while signing the file offered by Utami, the CEO's secretary.

" You are the habit, Max, you have repeatedly said, do not suddenly take a vacation, tomorrow there is a meeting with Mr. Lee from Japan Building, discussing the construction of a mall in Surabaya, it is impossible not to ask him to postpone, it could be that the man took out his samurai," the woman's murmur.

Utami is still Max's distant brother, and is a few years older. Married and have one child. Because of the kinship relationship that they are familiar like a sister. Not infrequently Max sprayed Utami if he did arbitrarily, as it is today.

Instead of being angry, Max instead let out a grin, "Please mbak, it's been a week I'm full schedule, I'll have a personal life too," said Max without turning his focus on the paper before him.

Utami understood, which he heard from Adrian, Max managed to make the girl he had always loved melt. Although Utami himself has never met the figure that makes Max so crazy.

Utami is quite curious as to what the figure is, considering Max has many fans, not only from his own office environment but also some famous artists and models also eyeing, unfortunately Max was never interested.

" Okay, you can take a day off, but after the meeting with Lee, I'll clear your schedule for the next two days, how?" Utami made an offer.

" Okay deal," said Max, handing over all the files to Utami.

" Oh yeah, said Vira in the lobby there was a girl waiting for you, don't you want to see her?"

This was not the first time a girl had looked for him, and he was already tired of facing them all.

"Please take care of it, and say the same receptionist if anyone's looking for me outside of work just say there's no place,"

Utami chuckled, "the risk of being a handsome man, already established again, who would not be tempted Max,"

" Max, you're a complete package, handsome, proportionate towering body, rich, which girl doesn't care for you,"

Max just shook his head, and ignored Utami who continued to babble, if not for brothers, Max would have kicked him out earlier.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Without waiting for a response, the door of the room was already pushed from the outside.

"Hey, did you really refuse his arrival," Adrian's ambush without warning made Max and Utami link eyebrows together.

" What's wrong with you, man, just come to me not clear," said Utami sewot.

" There's someone waiting to see you Max, and Vira says Utami won't let the guy ride, "

" Yes mbak just follow the orders of our boss, how else, um who the hell came so panicked?" Utami defended herself.

Adrian had guessed, surely because Max did not think at all, fortunately he had passed the lobby, if it was not possible there would be a third world war.

Max stared at the movements of Adrian who opened the door again, and he was fixated to find the figure he was missing walking in once Adrian invited.

"Shit" he swore to himself, how could he be this stupid.

" Dear, you don't bother me if you want to come here, "Max rushed over

" I've called but your phone's off,"

Max is immediately hurt by guilt.

Utami stared at the face that Max was called affectionate, and she was fascinated, Alina's beauty was very natural with a slim body as she was, her calm manners added to the girl's points. Adrian codes Utami, and the two come out unbeknownst to the two.

Max gasped as Alina slid into his arms. He replied to Alina who held him tightly. For a while they held on to that position. Because Alina was still reluctant to keep her body away.

The girl's nose continues to smell Max.

" I miss you too baby, " Max said breaking the silence. As if you know what Alina wants to convey through this hug. Slowly Alina stretched out their bodies and looked up at Max intently.

" Oh yeah, if you miss why ignore me for a week?Are you seeking revenge?"

Max smiled, both of his hands framing Alina's face, kissing the girl's forehead deep.

" I'm just busy baby, not that you said I should prioritize work," circus Max winked.

Alina felt insinuated, she put on a smile both her hands rested in front of Max's chest, because the man was now hugging his waist

" It's not the same concept, baby, I mean you have to be able to divide the time, between me and work, you don't miss it if you don't meet," Alina tried to get along.

" Kangen lah, only I want to know if your reaction is far from me, "

Alina rolled a lazy eyeball.

" Have seen for yourself, so kangennya willing to wait for hours like a fool, fortunately met Adrian, if not can moss I lobbied,"

Max grinned, "That's sorry baby, I don't know if you're coming,"

There were a lot of things that Alina wanted to ask, but she didn't want to ruin the moment. Alina looked at Max's face softly,

"I love you Max, "

Max does not believe what he hears, but Alina again repeats her statement of love. Making the fear that had been present was gone. Replacing with one belief that Alina is indeed destined for him.

" I also love you very much dear" Reply Max happily, slowly their bodies back together, reducing the distance created. Alina felt Max's breath getting closer, the girl closed her eyes while a warm kiss landed on her lips, sending a sense that shook her entire soul.
