Consorts of the Heart Mr. Billionaires

Chapter.113 (Facts of events in the past)

The clock shows at four in the afternoon It is time for all WB group employees to leave their jobs, although not infrequently there are still people who have to stay to work overtime. Almira, who just got out of the elevator, rolled her eyes lazy, when the phone she expected came from her lover, actually came from Dave.

Almira put her phone back in the bag. Then continued his steps out of the twenty-story building. His step back must be stopped when someone who is not faced is standing while leaning next to a car parked in the office yard. That person was Dave, he smiled as he waved to Almira.

A move that does not also want to continue, making Dave move from his position to approach Almira. Almira is indifferent to her former best friend because she still feels that events in the past, are very burdening, outside of the attitude of Mama who used to be very outrageous to Dave and his family, he said, he is also burdened with the feelings of the friend who in fact still loves him today.

"Why not pick up my phone?" ask Dave when he stops in front of Almira.

"I told you to stop bothering me why you have to get here, too" Almira said, holding hands.

"Ck, it seems like my arrival bothered you a lot huh .. sorry for that night, because I got carried away and made you feel uncomfortable, but I just expressed my feelings. I don't expect you to respond .. I've been waiting a long time now, when we can chat together as friends," Dave said.

Forgive me for having to lie, so that you can take back my presence, even if only as a friend, but I have been watching you since long ago, even from a distance ... I really still love you, inner Dave.

"So can we talk for a second?" pinta Dave is hopeful.

Almira let out a long sigh, lowered her head for a while then looked back at Dave, "Alright, it seems like we should talk."

Orange light from the western horizon accompanied him a pair of old friends who are now sitting in a cafe with an outdoor theme. A cup of moca latte accompanies the silence created between the two. Neither Almira nor Dave started the conversation first. As Almira looked down at the street from the second floor, Dave was enjoying his drink while staring at Almira.

"Until when are you going to see me like that" Almira said when she regained consciousness, if she was looked at by Dave.

"I was found out, yes, you are very sensitive about things like this," said Dave then sipped his coffee again.

Almira turned her gaze to Dave sitting before her, "Sorry for past events ..especially for my Mama's outrageous attitude back then," Almira said then bowed for a moment, breathing out that feels heavy.

Hearing Almira's words, Dave simply smiled. At that time he was quite shocked to get a slap in front of friends and teachers, "I've forgotten everything.. In the past, I was quite shocked because of the treatment of your mother, Mama, but the older I get, the more I understand that it's because your mom wants the best for her son."

"Then why did you drop out of school at the end of the semester, when soon we were going to take the exam, you also suddenly disappeared without any news?" ask Almira. Questions that made him accept Dave's invitation to talk.

Dave was stunned for a moment. He looked at the face of Almira who was currently completely in front of him. The face of the woman who became his first love during High School, a face that he could not forget because it gave hurt and love at the same time.

"That moment .. after the incident where your mother met me at school, my father fell ill knowing that I was humiliated. The father's body was immediately taken to his hometown. I'm sorry I didn't have time for that because it all happened all of a sudden."

Deg.

Almira covered her face with both hands. He was silent for a moment, it made Dave feel guilty for telling everything. All this, he told her not to stay away from him anymore. But unexpectedly, Almira appeared to be devastated by the news.

"Mira are you okay?" ask Dave who's starting to look worried.

Almira again held her head up, looking at Dave with teary eyes, "How can I be fine after knowing everything."

"I continued my schooling, I worked hard so I could deserve to face you again" he explained.

Almira rubbed her face violently. She vaguely remembered Mama's words to Dave back then. Mama said that Dave wasn't equal to her. It became Dave's drive to become the successful person he is today.

"Sorry for everything ... My mom used to be so loud, if I had known your dad was dead, I would have asked Mama anyway, to go to your house to apologize," almira said with a trembling voice.

"Have Mira, it's all gone. .. My father always taught me to forgive others, if your mother hadn't said something like that, I would not be like this."

"Why have you always been this naive" said Almira, who began to look beautiful.

Dave smiled, "You know how I used to be."

"As time goes on, you change a lot except for that one thing" Almira said.

Dave chuckles to himself listening to Almira's words, the curvature of the lips looks flat again when he returns to remember that Almira already has a lover, "Then what about you and your boyfriend, is your relationship very serious?" ask Dave who is trying to stay normal, in order to maintain the comfort of Almira.

"That's it .. he's a very independent and hardworking person, our relationship is still new, but he and I have their own commitments" Almira explained.

"You look so happy" said Dave, who tried to keep smiling, though his heart was hurt, regretting that he was late enough to let someone go before him.

"Tomorrow the opening of my new restaurant branch, I hope you can attend .. I also invite other friends," said Dave trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Emm .. might be a little late but I try to come" said Almira then sipped his coffee again.

This twilight sunlight, makes the charm of Almira increasingly radiated. Looking at Almira who was looking at the streets, secretly, Dave photographed a beautiful face that was worthy of being captured. He was like a secret admirer who stole the opportunity to just capture the moment, even though in reality he had expressed his feelings despite ending in rejection.
