ELEGANCE OF TWO HEARTS
Chapter 22's
It was dusk when Aris stepped into the Pradjna apartment. He was a little nervous, never expecting to return to that place.
"Is the place the same?" asked Aris in his heart.
He turned the key child and heard a "click" sound, Aris opened the door wide, felt the switch as he remembered it near the door, pressed it and a light beam illuminated the room where he stood.
Aris stepped in, the room was still the same, even the paint was the same, soffa though it had changed but still in place. He went to the room, opened the door and felt thrown into the past, like he saw Pradjna smiling at him. Aris felt her breathing tight. He should not have accepted to stay here. There are many memories of Pradjna here. She still loves Pradjna but knowing the truth this morning at Pradjna's office makes her sick. He had to give up hope to be able to ask Pradjna, all he could do now was to take care of the girl (which everyone else already had), watching in silence, and watching, make sure that the girl is happy and well.
Aris had just finished her bath when she heard her bell ringing. His forehead immediately frowned, "who's visiting?" ask in the heart. He stepped into the door, peering through the door viewer, saw Hana at the door. Aris turned the key, opened the door.
"Hana!" greet Aris.
"Hi, I stopped by to make sure of your condition" Hana said with a friendly smile as she showed a plastic pack of food.
"Aren't you going to tell me to come in, Mr Haris?. I brought dinner for us" continued Hana with a slightly silly mimic.
Aris laughed and opened the door wide, letting Hana in, while she closed the door.
Hana stepped inside, heading to the kitchen, it seemed like she had memorized the details of the room in this apartment. Aris followed him, sitting waiting at the dining table, saw Hana take out the cutlery from the kitchen set drawer and approached Aris.
"You better help me unwrap this food than just shut up, you ex-rich man" hana grumbled as she opened a pack of food that she took out of the plastic she was carrying.
"An ex-rich man?" asked Aris with a sour face, Hana glanced and laughed at the look on Aris' face.
"Yes, a former rich man, who yesterday was still the CEO is now only a purchasing staff" added Hana with laughter increasingly divorced.
Aris was silent for a moment before finally laughing "At least I am happy, next month at payday I will enjoy my own work, real and pure from my efforts" Aris said after her laughter subsided.
Hana looked at him "Have you been unhappy all this time?"
"Be happy, Han. All is sufficient - available, but I am required to obey all things, forced to submit to my Mama's will. It was like being a puppet, I had no right to my own life, it was both painful and torturous" Aris replied.
He has also spooned rice side dishes to his plate. Start enjoying rice and grilled chicken with lalapannya.
"It's delicious" he continued.
"Tomorrow to thank Pradjna directly, he who asked me here, he also cooked this all" replied Hana while biting the cucumber.
Aris's hand that was about to feed the rice to his mouth stopped for a moment, he looked at Hana questioningly, who was seen as being engrossed with his chicken.
"Pradjna told you to?" aris asked to make sure he didn't hear wrong. Hana nodded, her mouth full of rice - chicken.
"Pradjna says you're in trouble, he also says you forget your meal when you're in trouble, he doesn't want you to get sick" Hana continues, "He spent you just now, too, still in my car, come down with me to the basement, take your needs" Hana stood throwing the rest of her food in the trash and washed her own dishes.
Aris finished her meal in silence, she did not even notice Hana who brought her a glass of water.
"Quick spend your meal, bengongnya later if I uda go home" exclaimed Hana resuscitated him. Aris rushed to finish her meal.
"Pradjna said, if you mind just think of it as a loan" Hana said again, they were still sitting in the kitchen.
"Please tell her, I thank you, the food is delicious, as always" Aris said later.
"I'll tell you later, I hope he hasn't slept. Dave must not like it if I wake up Pradjna" Hana said.
Aris just nodded, her chest instantly congested to hear Dave's name mentioned in between Pradjna's name.
"Are you staying at Pradjna's?" ask Aris.
"I've been living there for a while, there are some events in the near future, closer to me coming back to Pradjna's house than to my apartment" Hana said. Aris captures how close the two of them were, as she remembers Pradjna had hardly any friends because she had no time to socialize. "Thank God she's friends with a good person like you, Hana" Aris' inner self in her heart.
"Well I have to go home now, come down with me to pick up your groceries, Pradjna can nag if she knows I didn't give it to you" Hana stood up, turning to grab her bag in the chair beside Aris sitting down.
Aris stood up following Hana stepping out towards the basement.
