Aurel was ready with her makeup. He's going to the office this morning. He exited the room, looking at Daren who was sitting on the sofa while waiting for him.

"Lo gapain? I thought I was leaving" said Aurel as he took his heels. "Udah?" ask Daren. "Huh?" Aurel was confused.

"Gue was waiting for you!" said Daren who moved from his seat.

"Seek who. I didn't tell you" said Aurel.

"So I'll let you go alone?" daren looked at Aurel.

"Yes, I used to go alone. We're not even in the same direction, are we?" reply Aurel. Daren was silent.

"No pa-pa. I want to do it" said Daren.

"Diddeliver!" Aurel walks out of the apartment as well as Daren who follows him from behind.

They entered the elevator, not only were there a middle-aged woman inside.

"Gue can go alone, you don't need my anterin" Aurel said.

"It's up to you" Aurel said in the end.

"You're the new couple in this apartment unit, huh?" said the middle-aged mother.

"Yes Aunty, just moved in last night," Daren replied so kindly.

"Well, my name is Retno, I live in unit 1235. If you'd know what unit you live in?" ask Retno's mother.

"1238, " answered Daren. "Eum this is my wife Aurel." Aurel just smiled politely.

"A very compatible couple. Your faces are similar, mate pantes," said Ms Retno.

Instantly Daren and Aurel looked at each other, then the two shuddered in horror.

"If you may know how long have you been married?" ask Miss Retno.

"We are still only Tan, about 2 weeks," replied Daren.

"Oh the newlyweds to? May the marriage last. And hopefully quickly given a baby,"

Arriving at the office, Aurel immediately prepared to go down.

"Now don't pick me up. Oh yes, I came home late because I want to go with Tissa," said Aurel while removing the seat belt.

"Oh that? Okay. " said Daren.

Aurel got out of Daren's car and walked right into his office.

He saw Tissa coming into the office. Aurel observes Tissa who is not yet aware of her existence.

"Tissa" said Aurel.

"I just want to get in" said Tissa.

"Lo daydreaming?" ask Aurel.

Tissa shook her head quickly.

"No, just yes I can feel sleepy this morning, " said Tissa. Aurel nodded in understanding.

"Eh know not! Because of your advice yesterday I've improved with Aldino," said Aurel so enthusiastically.

Tissa's footsteps stopped.

Aurel looked at Tissa confusedly. "Lo why?" aurel asked as he stopped his footsteps.

"Eh no, " said Tissa as she continued to smile. "How come?"

"Yes, later in the afternoon we have agreed to launch together," said Aurel.

"It's good that way, " said Tissa. Tissa walked first. Making Aurel frown in confusion.

"Tissa why the hell?" mummy Aurel. He followed Tissa.

"Tissa you got a problem?" ask Aurel.

"Eum, no really. I'm not feeling well anymore" replied Tissa with a faint smile. I don't know, Tissa can't express herself right now.

"Lo's sick? What pain? To the hospital," said Aurel worried.

"No need for Rails. It's just a regular headache. We know ourselves lately we are often overtime. So yes," said Tissa.

Aurel nodded in understanding. "Lo if there's any similar story to me. "

"I must have told you" replied Tissa.

The lunch hour had arrived, Aurel was preparing to meet with Aldino at the place where they had made the appointment. He walked into a restaurant. There he saw Aldino who was waiting for him.

"Have you been a long time?" ask Aurel.

"No. Just come," replied Aldino. "What do you want to pesen? Let me go?"

"Well, same as you" replied Aurel. Aldino just nodded and called the waiter to order food.

"You why the hell? Don't want me to pick you up at your office?" ask Aldino.

"Someone will know dong. If we have a relationship" Aurel replied.

"Yes nice dong. If people know you belong to me" Aldino said.

"Don't, they'll think things through. Moreover, some people also know that I'm married to Daren," said Aurel made Aldino sigh.

"Until when is it like this? I want to know we're dating like everybody in general. It's not gini hiding" Aldino said.

"Darling, you're patient. I'm sure one day we won't be in a position like this again" Aurel said.

"Terus Daren knows, right? What if we're dating?" ask Aldino.

Aurel shook his head he had not told Aldino at all.

"Now that is it? Why not tell me?" aldino looked at Aurel.

"I haven't found the right moment to tell Daren" Aurel replied. "I'm sorry, but in the meantime, we're backstreet."

"Yes I understand, but your love is only for me, right?" Aldino.

Aurel nodded. "Yes, I promise that my love is only for you."

"You sit here, far away," said Aldino, Aurel changed position to sit next to Aldino.

Both are like teenagers who are drunk. As of this moment Aurel seemed timidly seated next to Aldino.

Suddenly Aurel's smile faded. I saw someone going into the restaurant. Both eyes are round.

"Al there's Daren!" aurel. Both of them panicked, Aurel immediately hid under the table.

"Why is Daren here?" inner Aurel.

On the other hand, Daren does have an agreement with his client. He stared at the doormatiao room, yet saw his client coming.

But he saw a figure he knew sitting alone. Daren walked towards Aldino.

"AI? Alone lo?" greet Daren. Daren sat in one of the chairs.

"The ant! Why use all the nyamperin Aldino anyway!" inner Aurel. His legs were sore because they were already squatting.

"Oh, man, I'm alone" replied Aldino. "By the way, you're also on your own?"

"Gue again waiting for clients, there are usually impromptu meetings. So yes, we met at this restaurant," said Daren. Aldino nodded in understanding.

"Bodo is so cool! Why should I be at this restaurant?" sahut Aurel from his heart.

Suddenly the waiter came with Aldino's order.

"Please enjoy, sir."

"Buset, how much lo pesennya? He said it himself, " said Daren.

"Yes so I wanted to make a deal with my friend even not so. There is a sudden business, so yes gini," said Aldino.

"Oh that, " said Daren.

Daren saw the client he was waiting for had arrived.

"Eh I'm first. Want to meet first," said Daren.

Aldino nodded. "Good luck bro!"

While Daren just gave his thumbs up.

After confirming that Daren was gone, Aldino told Aurel to come out of hiding.

"I have gout." muttered Aurel holding his waist.

"You're weird just clumping under the table" Aldino said.

"Yes how? If Daren knew how?" aurel.

"Actually no pa-pa if Daren knows. You're the same he's just a contract marriage" Aldino said.

As Aurel was silent, for some reason far from the deepest recesses of his heart he did not want Daren to know all this.
