Bound of Lies

Can I be Jealous ?

Despite being in the crowd but his soul felt empty without Fabian.

Renata smiled wryly laughing at herself.

"Where is your fabian ?" Renata asked in his heart.

***

"Monday has arrived" Renata murmured as she awoke from her sleep. It has been 2 nights his sleep is no longer as good as the night before because of the thought of the man who had stolen his attention.

Monday is the day that Renata hates the most, probably because usually too much lazing on the weekend makes him not excited on Monday.

His hands fumbled on the nightstand beside the bed. Looking for a small flat object that 2 days as if not separated from his hand.

Realizing she was not there, Renata sat her body in bed with her legs dangling.

His feet scavenged - ngais floor looking for the flat object, remember last night because annoyed Renata threw it in any direction.

No incoming messages, no missed calls. No good morning greetings as usual.

The flat object did not show anything on the screen, not after what Renata expected. Even though all night flat objects are not turned off power.

This Monday will probably be the worst of his life.

***

Renata arrived when the office atmosphere was still loose "Looks like I'm parted," his inner self. Not without reason Renata came this early.

He hoped to see Fabian where they first met, in a coffee shop at the time. There's hope there's no Fabian there.

With a lazy step Renata entered the elevator which took her to the 3rd floor, where she worked.

Silent...

Renata recalled that today his three friends were assigned to attend a job fair at one of the leading universities in Jakarta. Makes Renata lonely half the day.

He and Mr. Chandra are the manager. "Complete is my suffering," Renata lamented inwardly.

The work atmosphere was not supportive, Mr. Chandra who is usually friendly and talkative is now more silent like himself. Just immersed in an endless sea of work.

Mr. Chandra is actually a friendly and supple person. His bearing as a superior firm but sometimes nyeleneh. That's what makes everyone in this room love it.

Mr. Chandra or commonly called Mr. Chan is a man aged 27 or 28 years Renata himself does not know for sure. With an athletic body, clean skin, narrow eyes and middle hair oppa korea makes Pak Chan one of the idols of women in his office. Moreover, the status of Chandra sir who is still single.

Feeling noticed, Mr. Chan looked back at Renata.

"Ren, you can't see yuk below."

"It's still 12 o'clock less, sir, is it okay?"

"It's okay, I treat."

"That's dong sir, then I'll." Renata's grin immediately stood up from his chair and Mr. Chandra just smudged his lips which made Renata laugh.

They walked together, entering the elevator that took them to the 1st floor where the coffee shop was located.

Along the way they throw jokes at each other that make them laugh themselves. Without them noticing the pair of eyes were sharply watching them with clenched hands holding back anger.

Mr. Chandra opened the coffee shop door for Renata, he was the gentleman. Then first choose a seat rather than ordering their wishes.

Sitting together while looking at the menu, at first glance they look like they are dating .

"Ren, frown today. Why are you ?" Ask Mr. Chan while flipping through the menu book.

"Well, you're also the same frowning. It must be because there isn't one, right?" Renata asked back with a laugh.

"Who is anu?" Asked Mr. Chan with a flushed face in embarrassment.

" That's the miss that made Mr. Chan miss. Is that really my guess, sir ?"

For a moment, Chandra stared into Renata's eyes.

"It looks so clear, huh, Ren?" Suddenly his face changed.

"What do I do about Ren?"

"Call me Missing Gift - Gift it sir. Women love the rich attention."

"What's your gift?"

"Gift sir hadiaaaahhh, have not been rich..." Renata had not yet explained suddenly someone stood between them.

Renata raised his head and was surprised to see that the man was Fabian.

" Hey, good afternoon. I'm Fabian Renata's friend. Can I join ?" She asked with a friendly smile and extended her hand to Chandra to shake hands.

Mr. Chandra looked into Renata's eyes as if asking if Fabian was really his friend. And Renata nodded her head as a sign of justification.

"I'm Chandra Renata's coworker. Come on, please sit down." Mr. Chandra answered Fabian's greeting and shook his hand.

Fabian shifted the chair and sat closer to Renata. His eyes looked coldly at the woman who was now nearby.

Renata's heart ached, the man he had been thinking about arrived and acted cold.

It felt like Renata clawed at Fabian's handsome face. Yes although it sucks his face still looks handsome. "Damn," Renata wrote in his heart.

"It just so happens that we haven't ordered, what do you want ?" Chan asked Fabian.

"I want a black coffee just less sugar, and 1 matcha latte for Renata." Answer

Mr. Chandra furrowed his brows and looked at Renata making sure.

" Yes sir, I'm a matcha latte as usual" he said.

"Oh ok well, just call the waiter first."

Time goes by. The order has arrived they enjoy it with interspersed small talk. Both Fabian and Chandra can adapt to each other quickly. The atmosphere was warm but not for Renata, Fabian still silenced him.

Want Renata to scream in front of Fabian wanted to ask where Fabian disappeared 2 today and why Fabian arrived to be cold but it was impossible not?

Until the time to part, Fabian was still cold.

***

Two days have passed since the incident at the coffee shop. Fabian never contacted Renata once.

Renata dies - the matian refrains from contacting her even though her mind is tormented.

Maybe it's time to break up from this unclear relationship. A connection? "Ah I'm sure Fabian doesn't consider this a relationship," said Renata.

Wouldn't it be better to let go now than to get more dissolved in feelings? Renata reinforces himself. Trying to find new love also grows. Miris isn't she ?

***

At 7pm Renata was already in her apartment. Wearing an oversized t-shirt featuring his favorite rock band Linkin Park and shorts that are only a handful of hands.

Put yourself on the couch watching a boring tv show.

Suddenly the incoming message notification reads. Lazily Renata took the phone lying on the table and saw the name Fabian as the sender.

Furrowed brows asked why Fabian suddenly contacted him again. With doubt Renata opened the message.

Fabian: Renata, may I feel jealous of you ?

TBC.....
