Buih Becomes a Tapestry

Chapter 72

The rain in the afternoon made some roads slippery. Many people who despite heavy rain still choose to go out because of various affairs including Arjun. At 6 p.m., he arrived at a cafe. And next to him was a beautiful woman named Naura.

Naura was wearing a very beautiful black dress. He also ordered food. Before the food came, two avocado juices were already on the table. Naura knew a little about some of Arjun's food and likes, so she ordered this for him.

"Hi, Naura, have you been waiting for me?" greeting Arjun when he arrived, he immediately sat down in front of Naura.

Naura was very happy to see this handsome man, "No, I also just arrived" Naura said, even though she was half an hour ago at the cafe.

"Well, there's avocado juice!"

"Drink!"

Arjun slightly thought, how could the girl in front of him know of his favorite drink ? Arjun did not want to think badly, his outstretched hand took the glass and gulped it down.

Naura watched Arjun's every move. It was a very meaningful moment for him.

"Oh, yes Arjun, purposely I invite you to eat here is to strengthen our friendship." Naura was suddenly awkward to reveal her heart. He wanted to see Arjun's judgment of her.

Arjun smiled making the dent on his cheek even more noticeable, "Just relax, and thank you for inviting me to eat in a place like this. Honestly, since Alula's time off from filming I've rarely eaten to a place like this."

Hearing Arjun speak and mention other women's names while both in a place like this, made Naura's heart feel hot. Yet Naura covered her vexation by forcing a smile. "Did Alula mean anything to you?" Cross-question to guess how Arjun really feels.

Arjun confirmed his sitting position and began to open his lips, "Alula was my best friend in childhood. We have been together a long time, hard or happy. But, right now I can't help her when she's in trouble."

Arjun stared blankly at the other side, making Naura sigh in annoyance.

Naura asked annoyedly, "What's wrong with her?"

Arjun is excited to tell the story, "Kevin, Alula's husband is sick and needs a heart donor as soon as possible."

Knowing that, Naura grew anxious. How not, if Kevin does not immediately get a heart donor then automatically he will die. And that gives a great opportunity for a guy like Arjun to take Kevin's place.

"Pity," said Naura showed her sympathy.

The food came and they both enjoyed it.

After she finished eating, Naura became more and more riled up and wanted to know Arjun's feelings. "Arjun, as a friend may I ask you a question?"

Arjun chuckled, "Of course you can, ask!"

Naura ventured and was ready to keep her mental whatever it was Arjun replied. "Is there a woman you like?"

Arjun shone a sharp glare, frowned and then smiled, "Why are you asking that?"

"So you said you could?"

"He he he, there." hearing that answer, Naura squeezed the end of her dress.

Before Naura again asked, Arjun opened his lips, "But, someone I like will never like me. He only sees me as his friend. I realized what my position was like. So, if there was another woman who liked me other than him, I would subtly reject her. Because I only like one person."

Naura knew who she meant by the woman she liked, it must be Alula. But he was already wary if Arjun answered like that.

"Thank you Arjun, I'm satisfied to hear your answer. My advice as a friend is, don't hurt your own heart, life isn't always waiting."

Arjun smiled and said nothing more. The two then parted ways with their cars.

The rain has subsided, but it does not rule out the possibility that the road is not slippery.

At the end of the road, there was no traffic light because there was a disturbance, Arjun did not reduce the speed.

A truck carrying a load of wooden beams travels at medium speed. Because it was too far away, the driver looked very sleepy.

In the second minute, Arjun's car made it past the traffic signs and from the opposite direction of the truck driver loaded with wooden beams without reducing the speed of crashing Arjun's car until it rang up.

Alula accidentally drops a glass on the table to make Kevin shocked. "Alula, are you okay?"

Alula immediately crouched down to pick up the broken glass, "Sorry build you up, I'm fine, I'll get this fixed soon."

"Be careful!"

"Yes,"

In silence, Alula felt bad and I don't know what.

After Gibran and Maria leave, Alula feels that her life will be more colorful with her new status having complete parents. But, he did not know Vivi's news now. Did her sister accept her or not?

On the other hand, Nabil who had been chasing Vivi since had managed to calm down and bring Vivi home.

"Whether you reject or accept Alula as a sister, you obviously cannot change this fact. Slowly the world knows that you are brothers." said Nabil, offering a cup of coffee to warm the body.

"You're right. I used to hate him so much, he took my girlfriend and now he's taken my parents." Vivi sipped coffee in hand.

"Revisions for you, Vivi. Missing the word snatch from your sentence earlier. A long time ago, didn't you and Kevin break up before he married Alula?"

"Not yet, we haven't officially broken up. And that woman is wrong in this."

"That's a sign that destiny doesn't support you to have Kevin. The world is not as wide as moringa leaves, there are still many men who deserve you to love." advice Nabil who refers to him.

"Another man, who ?" Vivi smiled wryly at Nabil's rant.

Nabil put the coffee on the table and puffed his chest and patted his chest with his right hand. "Like me, for example."

Vivi turned her head and laughed, "You?"

Nabil finally managed to make Vivi laugh again, although he knew not Vivi's criteria.

"good. Let's try it! I'll give you a chance to make me like you. Just one month, yes" said Vivi.

Nabil couldn't believe the joke he just made, "You're serious?"

Vivi smiled shyly, "Thousand rius instead."

Nabil grabbed Vivi's hand and carried her to the front of the chest. "I don't know where to start, I'm not experienced enough in dating."

"Okay, start small!" Vivi pulled her hand because she did not want Nabil to feel cold sweat on her skin.

"OKAY. So, are we officially pa-ca-ran?"

Vivi nodded in embarrassment.
