Behind the Rain and Memories

6. The Dead Lamp Incident

Alina stared at the pus out the window, the dots of water stuck to the glass sending her to old memories. Like flashback, one by one episode he and Bryan again revolved in his mind making him unable to hold the clear circle that had been floating in the eye.

Every time the rain came, Alina could not help herself, too many beautiful memories that they carved together and could not possibly forget. Unknowingly Alina was getting sobbing, her breath was stingy spilling a suffocating sense of tightness. If Bryan's chest had always been the most comfortable place to remove the shaking, now it all feels lonely.

And it did not escape Max's attention, from inside his room Max saw clearly the sadness felt by the girl. If only he had known Alina would be so melancholy seeing rain, he wouldn't have asked her overtime in this kind of weather. No one knew Max was so weak when a woman cried nearby.

Max tries to ignore, and stays focused on the wide paper in front of him but the more he tries not to care the greater his desire to look at Alina. Finally he gave up and moved from his seat and stepped out, approaching the window beside the girl's table. With a rough movement he pulled the lever of the closing curtain.

As Alina was shocked, she turned her gaze to the figure standing before her at the moment. The one who looked on expressionlessly.

" I'm sorry" said Alina, wiping her tears.

" If you can't focus, you better go home instead of crying here" Max said coldly.

Alina did not reply she resumed her work, but what Max said was right, her concentration had already broken.

"I'm sorry, if you'll let me continue tomorrow?" pinta Alina with an anxious tone. Afraid that Max would get angry.

Max took a breath.

" You should have asked me that, I asked for overtime not because this project is a dateline, I just don't like to delay time,"

Alina lowered her head, if only she knew the rain would fall maybe she would refuse overtime, in fact from morning the Jakarta sky was very bright.

" Yes if you can't finish now, but remember tomorrow the design must have been accepted," continued the man gave permission.

Alina nodded "Thank you sir,"

Max went back to his room.

While Alina rushed to clean up the table, actually this design is almost finished just need to finish but what her feelings suddenly deteriorated.

After making sure everything was neatly arranged, Alina carried the bag and walked towards Max's room.

" I'm saying goodbye, sir" he said politely, Max just nodded his head.

Alina knew enough to not talk any further, the iceberg wouldn't like it. Instead of the man getting angry, he better find it safe. Alina came out to the elevator but she had not yet touched the arrow keys, suddenly everything went dark.

Alina was fixated, why use the lights off all the time, her mind was restless. There may be interference but if the situation like now even make goosebumps. Alina did not dare to go any further. He chose to stand on the spot, usually the incident of the lights off in the big company was only a few moments. But as the seconds changed, minutes passed and there was no sign of light.

Alina patted her forehead when she remembered something, she reached into her pants pocket to reach for the flat object inside.

" Arrrh!" alina cried hysterically as soon as she realized someone was standing near her. He staggered back until the thing in his hand came apart.

" Look at me" said Max. Alina stroked the chest in relief.

" Make a surprise, why not give the code if you will come here, if I hang how?" pick up Alina while picking up her hape on the floor. Fortunately, he had his flashlight on so he had no trouble finding it.

" I think you need help so I'm here,"

" It's been a few minutes, just thinking of me, from where I was sir," said Alina again.

"So I called Security first they said there was a problem from the substation room, so it's gonna take some time to fix it,"

" How are you going now" asked Alina again.

" It's best to take the emergency stairs, please" Max advised again.

" Same father?"

Max shook his head.

" I'm still waiting for the electricity to go on, my work is not done yet" Max said casually.

Whats? actually Max is made of what the hell with the heart he told Alina to go down through the emergency stairs alone.

" Then I went with my father, "break up Alina later.

" Are you sure?"

Alina nodded "Rather than me dead standing down ten floors all by myself, mending I just wait inside,"

" The fear turns out, too,"

" Whatever," said Alina sewot.

How not sewot, just this time Alina found a species like Max, did she not think yes as brave as any woman but if the situation as it is now keder too, it is, another story is that he was wonder woman.

With Gontai Alina following in Max's steps, he also chose to sit on one of the sofas in the man's room.

Until half an hour passed, there was still no progress. The air in this room began to heat up, Alina fanned a magazine to her face, while Max was seen loosening the tie.

" We'd better get home now," Max asked to get ready to leave.

Lucky he also holds a flashlight if not Alina must have fallen down for trying to pursue Max's steps. But unfortunately his luck was only a few moments just down the floor of Alina's cell phone was dead as a result she only relied on the illumination of the man. Seeing Alina who was overwhelmed by the chase coupled with the heels that seemed troublesome, Max felt pity, he grabbed the girl's fingers so as not to miss.

Alina was stuck as soon as Max suddenly grasped her, there was a subtle sigh in her heart as she felt the warmth of the man's hand. She could not resist because Max kept leading her, Alina chose to let.

Max must be feeling sorry, so he doesn't need to be a geer because of this. The silence greeting the two was only the sound of their echoing shoes.

" Ow!" Alina grimaced in pain, Spontaneous max stopped.

" What are you doing?" ask Max,

" It seems like my legs are chafing," Alina said as she sat down.

Max breaks down and helps Alina open her shoes, she points her flashlight at the girl's feet, there's blood on it.

" Women are strange, already know this thing will hurt, still insistent makai,"

" Yes already if you do not like to stay me here, do not need to lose all heels," snorted Alina offended.

" Okay if you want it to," replied Max did not want to lose, planning to leave. Alina hesitated she was not serious with her words, hurriedly holding Max's hand

" I'm kidding sir, cook my father denggalin," said Alina memelas

Max sneered cynically "It's not right that you're joking now,"

" Sorry,"

" You're mostly sorry,"

Alina was confused to respond, she grew even more confused as Max crouched his back.

"Get it!" tell the man then.

" You sure you want to carry me, don't bother sir, let me make the road," elak Alina nodded, pity the iceberg, still five floors down, he said, there's no way he's strong. Even though Alina is small in stature, she is still a grown girl weighing more than a sack of rice.

" Rise or I stay," he threatened and Alina had no other choice, slowly she approached and put her hand on the man's neck, the trousers she wore were quite easy, try if wearing a sponge skirt, and, he'll have trouble.

Slowly but surely one by one their steps passed, occasionally Max fixed the position of Alina who sagged due to gravity.

" I'm down sir, father's father's father was cape," said Alina felt guilty but Max did not press, finally Alina relented, she tightened her grip, her left cheek stuck perfectly on the man's cheek.

As close as this to Max, making the girl can freely feel the scent of Max's fragrant body even though it has sweaty, soft aroma that calms and unfortunately Alina likes.

For a moment he closed his eyes, for some reason he felt Max's back warm and comfortable.

He flinched as soon as Max dropped him off, he,

Alina was misbehaved because she did not realize they had reached the lobby.

A Security approached.

" I'm sorry sir, the damage is still being repaired" he said, without being asked.

" It's okay, can you bring my car here?" max asked, he was quite exhausted if he had to walk again to the basement, although the cold weather but the sweat dripped on him made Alina even more unwell.

" Can sir," said Security again, he rushed to retrieve the key that was thrust Max. shortly the car was in front.

After Max thanked him, Security passed.

" Mh, may I borrow your father's phone for a moment" said Alina

Max frowned.

" I want to order a taxi online," said Alina again

" You didn't bring a car? " Max circled his gaze to the front parking lot, where Alina often parked.

" My car is being ransacked sir,"

Max was silent for a while, it seemed like he was thinking of something.

" Let me take you home" he said again. Alina had no time to protest, Max had walked out. Inevitably Alina again relented, She was also too tired and wanted to get home soon.
