At 9 p.m., Chris sat in his chair alone. His one hand squeezed the empty beer can, then threw it away and he laughed bitterly like a woman who suddenly lost her wits when her throw deviated from the trash.
chris watched outside through the window of his apartment, it was raining. He bent his two legs inching up onto the chair, hugged it and next to his cheeks stuck to his knees. The cold night wind began to feel through the window beside him that was slightly open.
Chris's mind began to drift away, feeling so empty and his body was like it was hovering above the clouds.
chris was lonely.
This time Chris looked at the dining table in front of him. He has not yet finished his former meal. There are still a few pieces of chicken left. Chris has even lost the mood to just spend it.
chris grabbed his phone, looked for someone's contact and contacted him quickly.hery, the name is now on his screen.
It took a few seconds for the voice operator to answer the chris call, telling him that he was currently unable to make the call.hery followed the instruction and pressed the dial button to perform the voicemail service.
"hery," chris was silent for a moment, playing with his clenched fingernails. "Please think of me and don't just walk away."
His gaze was stupefied, imagining hery at this moment indeed picking up his phone, talking to him.
"I didn't ask you to fall in love with me, I just felt so lonely."
hery began to sob, his nose flushed with tears that began to pool at the end of the fertilizer in both eyes. I don't know why, tonight he felt so sad. It felt even more depressing when chris was in conscious state still waiting for hery.
"And you, what am I supposed to do?"
Chris's back rubbed his eyes. Hoping that no tears would wet his cheeks tonight, Chris finished his voice call and put his phone to the side.
Today felt so exhausting for Chris . Maybe even since yesterday. Starting from the misadventures that brought chris to hiko's wedding, then the chaos that hery made, and the next day he decided to meet hiko.
And tonight, closed with the fact that hery loves other women.
Suddenly someone out there pressed the doorbell. Chris was a little surprised and just silently stared at the door for a few seconds. It took up to three times the sound of the bell to make chris get up and approach the door with a slight thump.
chris opened the door and froze when he found Felix in front of him with a big grin. The man even stretched out his hands, saying that he gave a surprise for coming home early without telling chris.
felix was shocked when instead of giving her the usual hug, but chris who suddenly crouched down before her, covered her face with both hands and started crying.
"Ah, shit." chris was still with his face that he covered with both hands, sobbing.
felix made a panic. He who did not understand anything could only crouch down in front of Chris, hugged him tightly, then slowly helped him to his feet and carried him inside.
felix hasn't seen Chris in almost a month. He is busy working at xxx, with his partner named Kankurou. After breaking up with Kelvin and leaving the nightclub management he previously managed, Felix seriously intends to pursue his passion in the arts and make it a new business opportunity.
felix will start over. Working under ken manage a wood puppet crafts business before opening his own business at xxx when he already feels capable and has a lot of knowledge and experience.
During xxx, felix still diligently inform chris through a short message or call him. Asking about Chris' news, he's been busy with what he's been doing lately, asking if Felix's been acting rude to him or not, because he's ready to kill the man for Chris.
chris always said there was no problem, everything sounded fine to Felix until he came to chris' apartment and what he found was chris crying sobbing in front of him.
chris is a strong woman, Felix knows that. Even when Hiko leaves, chris prefers to cry alone and is unwilling to share her pain. Because she thinks she can deal with it herself. At least, Chris always tried to look strong even though he was actually unable to.
But when Felix found Chrus blatantly crying in front of him, he knew that someone had really hurt him. felix took a deep breath when he realized what was going on even when Chris said nothing to him.
"No, felix, it's not his fault." chris shook his head with both hands, clutching the felix tightly. "I was drunk. Yes, I'm drunk!"
chris laughed blandly. He then rushed to the kitchen and picked up a bottle of alcohol in the refrigerator. Felix immediately half-running over to chris when he saw him gulp straight from the bottle quickly.
"chris! Self-conscious!" felix firmly holds onto both shoulders of chris, before whom chris looks out of control even though he knows that chris is in no way drunk.
chris said felix. Stop the crazy action and put the bottle of drink on the kitchen counter. He was silent when Felix began to look at him sharply, the look of his face looked so serious.
"chris, at least tell me that you're not in love with her."
chris did not reply, he just kept quiet with his eyes blank.
He realized his mistake. He fell in love with hery wijaya .
Along with the loosened grip of his hand, Felix looked at chris with a look of disbelief. What he had been afraid of had finally happened. In front of his eyes, Chris indirectly admitted that he had indeed opened his heart to hery.
Quiet chris successfully made felix massage his temple. Felix momentarily recalled, how chris who painstakingly rose from his life slumped.
For Felix, chris falling in love with Hiko was a mistake. However, opening the heart to hery is another big mistake that chris shouldn't have done.
felix knows hery. The man is a crazy rogue who likes to play tricks on women's hearts and never once had the intention to have a serious relationship. Because felix also knows, hery is not the married type.
"I warned you."
"I know." chris answered as he could, still with his face looking flat expressionless. He turned his back to Felix and intended to go into his bedroom.
"I'm not done, chris." This time Felix clutches Chris' wrist, asking him to stay still.
"Take me off, felix. I'm tired." chris pleaded, made felix wither and slowly let go of his grip.
"Stop meeting hery." Felix said as Chris was in the doorway of his room.
"Can't, stupid. We're one office, he's even my boss."
"Then quit your job."
"Yes, then I'll be a bum, asshole." chris chimed in with a little joke, which sounded so hollow.
After that, Chris said nothing more and chose to go into his room.Felix no longer knew what he had to do. He chose to sit on the sofa, sighing and letting chris rest in his room.
Felix knew that Chris was crying alone in his room.
