Bima's Second Wife

chapter 142

Lily was stunned when she saw a flower in Adit's hand, then hesitantly picked it up. Adit smiled happily. The plan today Adit will invite Lily to enjoy the view of the city from a height. A romantic dinner that Adit had planned for a long time. All Adit will also express his feelings even though Lily already knows, after all Adit has never stated it specifically.

Arrive at the place to go. Lily was amazed by the scenery in front of her was very beautiful with flickering lights at night. Moreover, the weather is very supportive, the sky is clear with few clouds at altitude. The wind slowly whirred.

Adit does not stop admiring the beauty of Lily who only smeared thin makeup. A simple knee-high black dress makes Lily look more elegant. Not a second did he let go of Lily's hand as he got down from the car.

"Where's the place? like?" Lily nodded.

"Like. Pretty."

Adit pulled the chair for Lily to sit down, they ate together in silence. Lily looked out occasionally, smiled and then focused on her food. While Adit unceasingly looked at the girl in front of him with admiration.

"Li."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Mas Adit can say something?"

"What?"

They had finished their dinner, now standing on the balcony of the hotel restaurant building on the twelfth floor.

Lily Aruna's.

"You know that Mas Adit has always liked you." I was silent to the man in front of me. I think I know the reason he took me to this romantic dinner. Especially since I was already suspicious because in this place there are only empty chairs and tables. There is only one table with two chairs that are available delicious dishes with beautiful burning candles, the room is also made as romantic as possible. I suppose. The atmosphere outside was bright with the moon shining brightly. It's perfect. Romantic!

"Mas Adit wants us to formalize our relationship. Do you have the same feelings as Adit Rasain?" I fell silent, trying to dig into my feelings for her. I don't know what it's like, but I'm comfortable around him

He held my shoulders and twisted them until we faced each other. His eyes became more beautiful because of the moonlight that hit us. So did he who seemed to be amazed to see me. His eyes barely blinked staring at everything he could see on my face.

He walked my hand from my shoulder down to the point where both hands were on my wrist. Take my hand with both hands, then raise it slowly until right in front of his face. He kissed both backs of my hands solemnly. Both of his eyes were closed as if trying to inhale the scent of roses from my skin. My eyes glazed over, for some reason.

"Mas." He opened his eyes and smiled.

"You want to be Adit's girlfriend?" I haven't answered, still trying to dig and dig, figuring out how I feel about this man in front of me.

Mas Adit let go of my hand and one of his hands grabbed my waist and pulled it a little closer, so there was no distance between us at all. Warm taste. Adit's gaze was so soothing as if it made me hypnotized to not be able to escape from this man. Her smile always made me like her.

Mas Adit smiled even more when he did not get a rejection from me. I smiled looking at the look in her eyes that were always cool.

A man's instinct made Mas Adit lean his face towards me. I get the point. My chest is pounding, my feelings are not out of whack right now. I don't know why I closed my eyes too. But a shadow flashed through my brain. I feel like I'm hugging someone else, not Adit, but him! Someone who knew how I felt that night. Mas Bima's.

OMG.

What's wrong with me? I thought I could forget about him, but why should this be a moment of happiness for me instead he came interrupting! What am I really feeling?

My liver... Oh gosh. Do I have to replace my heart with a liver transplant, my heart and my brain too!

I opened my eyes. Almost, maybe another five inches then our lips will get closer and closer together.

Mas Adit opened his eyes when what he felt on his lips was my right palm. His forehead frowned at once, but a second later he took my hand that was still stuck to his lips and kept it away. Her lips covered a smile even though I could see from the look in her eyes she was disappointed, then brought her closer and kissed my palms a few times.

"Sorry." My regrets. I pulled my hand away from her and took a step back, making some distance between us. Mas Adit looked at me cluelessly, whereas I could only look down in not daring to look at him.

"You don't like me?" adit asked, he stayed in his place.

"Lily likes it, but..."

"You'd rather be with Bima, wouldn't you?" cut it. I don't know. I really like Bima, but that was it. Didn't I have to bury this feeling because Mas Bima also never loved me right?

"Lily doesn't know." I said lie. "Lily felt this was wrong. Status Lily is still Mas Bima's wife." I see.

"But still. Our marriage is legal in the eyes of law and religion."

Mas Adit stepped closer, but still kept his distance between us. It seems like he knows how my mood is right now.

"Sorry, mom. Sorry Lily." Once again he took my hands and held them in his chest.

"Mas Adit doesn't care. Mas Adit will wait for you until you are ready. I'll wait until that time comes."

The car is moving slowly. It was night time when we decided to go home.

As far as the journey we took, there was only silence. Mas Adit who is usually cheerful and chatty this time is just silent, searching the streets that are starting to be quiet. While I just looked at the sidewalk and the trees that are now starting to fall behind quickly.

We got to the front of the house. Still no one wants to talk.

"Mas Adit."

"Lilly."

Suddenly we spoke in unison, without command. Mas Adit scratched the nape of his neck even though I sure did not itch, while I felt the chair I was sitting on was getting increasingly uncomfortable.

"Mas Adit first."

"OKAY. This time there is no Ladies first" he said and smiled crisply. Makes me relieved because it turns out he can still joke at a time like this.

"Good night, Lily. That's all I want to say." he said.

"Good night too. Umm, sorry Lily mas Adit. Lily can't be like Adit's hope." Mas Adit nodded then hinted for me to stay in my seat. Then he came out and turned to the front of the car, opening the car door that had been his desire because I never gave him a chance to just want romance.

I welcomed Adit's hand, then got out of the car. Adit closed the car door. Then rub my cheek slowly. Geez I've broken people's children. It's not easy but I can't lie to my own feelings either. Wouldn't it hurt more if I accepted it but my heart for others?

"A friend's hug?" he bargained it while opening both of his hands wide, as wide as a smile on his lips. I'm nodding.

"Friend's hug!" my words imitated him and then approached towards him. Feeling warm like that. I'm more comfortable now. No more shadows appeared bothersome this time. I feel my head in the rain of kisses. Okay enough!

I released myself from his embrace. Mas Adit only smiled clumsily aware of his treatment earlier when he saw me glaring at him.

"Hehe. It's humping!"

"Well, come home there! The night can't pass anymore!" throw me out this time.

"Well, if you can't go home again, can you?" his smile started to come out again.

"Sleep with Dani in the post!" my words made the man's shoulders slump down with a very funny facial expression.

I waved my hand as she started her car, she returned a wave of my hand before then running her car out of this residential area.

I put my foot into the house. Mas Bima was looking at his laptop in front of a lighted tv. Very seriously as it seems.

"Just home?" ask her. And I answered with 'yes' accompanied by a smile, but it was useless because he did not look at it one bit. Feeling no more questions I immediately went up to my room. Lying myself on the bed. Finding the most comfortable position for my spine.

Still with a dress I haven't taken off. I stared at the sky with the lights hanging beautifully there. Remembering Adit's words that moved me.

"I will not force you to love me, you deserve to be happy. But the one you ask of you, never waste your tears on him. I know you are strong because you have people who love you. And you love them too. But please, if he makes you cry or hurt, I'll make sure to take you away."

We had agreed, there would be no more story between us than a brother and sister. As I deepened my heart, all I felt was comfort from her, protection, and care. There's no love because I think there's been something that makes me run out of that for someone else.
