ETERNAL ENEMIES

(22)

Happy Reading's.

Vera walks into a restaurant where she has an appointment with one of her best friends who is none other than Jimmy.

Vera could see a handsome man wearing a cream-colored flannel shirt sitting in the corner of the restaurant.

That man was very handsome.

Jimmy waved his hand when he saw Vera walking towards him. Beautiful, one word that the man always said but only in his heart.

"Hi, Jim!" sapa Vera who is Jimmy's college friend who also majored with him.

"Finally, you want to come" said Jimmy smiled broadly to show his dimples.

Vera is almost stunned by the charm of a Jimmy whom she has admired for a long time.

This, which Vera dislikes when she meets Jimmy, a feeling she can almost forget, will always grow up again if she sees him at close range.

But Vera knows that Jimmy loves a woman, even they have been friends since childhood, the news of Jimmy's engagement also made him surprised because it turns out the man is not engaged to the woman he loves, that's the story of this dimpled guy Pipit, because Vera belongs to the man's vent.

"You are free, yes of course I want, dong," replied Vera hiding her nervousness.

He sat himself in the chair facing Jimmy.

"From the first time the same, huh? never changed," Jimmy clucked. "if there is a free-free you will immediately want, even though your father is a businessman and your mother owns a hospital in Jakarta!" Jimmy propped up his chin watching his best friend who had that pretty oriental face.

"Gue is sure that you have never lacked money since you were born until now" he continued.

Vera flicked her hands in front of the man, stared at by Jimmy instantly like this made him nervous half to death, "yes not that too times, in fact I work to get my own money, he said, if only from papa and my mama it feels less sreg, gini-gini I've never been given money jajan loh equally papa," reply Vera who can already master the heartbeat of his that had jumped just because of a change of smile and the view of death from the guy in front of him this.

'remember Vera, he is your best friend, where there are friends who fall in love, at most love clapping one hand, you know, the proof is that Jimmy loved his little best friend until now but that woman only thinks of him as a best friend, huh, and this is my fate that loves not loved!' inner Vera nelangsa.

"Gue was already pesenin your favorite menu, so no need to wait longer for you to choose the food menu," said Jimmy disperse the woman's daydream.

'no, how do I not melt if he was just as careful as me, my favorite food is he still memorized from the time of college, heart! strengthen yourselves! don't let meyot!'

"How dare I, how can you memorize my favorite food? don't-don't you ngefans yeah, I'll just!" only by acting like this can cover up Vera's entire feelings for Jimmy in her pretentious style.

Jimmy chuckled at Vera's words, "gue emang ngefans lo same, who is also a guy who does not like the same Vera Gabriela!"

The deg!

Vera almost felt her heart drop when she heard Jimmy's words, but fortunately she was used to controlling herself so that her cheeks did not glow red.

It was fortunate that the awkwardness did not last long as their partner's food came along.

"This is really my favorite food, thanks to Jim, you are my best and most understanding friend," said Vera, watching the food on the table with sparkling eyes.

"Let's eat, I've been paying attention to you before, you're just insensitive!" said Jimmy scooping rice into Vera's plate.

"Eghem, he says you want a story," Jimmy took some beef skewers and he put them on Vera's plate.

"Honestly actually from the beginning betrothed to the woman, I don't feel suitable," said Jimmy.

"Yes, why do you want to be fooled by the woman if you are not suitable?"

Jimmy put his shoulder to shoulder, obviously he did not like the Lydian family because he thought the family was only using the Sailendra family.

"Gue doesn't want to abuse the parents, they've loved Lydia since the first time they met" replied Jimmy who couldn't possibly tell Vera the truth.

Vera stuffed the beef rendang into her mouth and it felt smoother and tender.

"If in my opinion, you should pursue your own happiness, do not just follow what parents say even though many say that we will be in love with the person who is betrothed to us, but if our hearts are not ready, you will hurt each other" Vera paused for a moment to swallow her food. "Gue knows you haven't been able to move on to the same first love that's been married, right?"

Jimmy shook his head, making Vera absolutely certain that the man still loved her childhood friend.

"Gua has moved on anyway, somehow seeing her now happier with her husband makes my heart calm as if all the burden had been off my shoulders, you can see she is happy with her husband is enough," replied Jimmy sincerely.

Vera simply nodded as her mouth was full of slices of beef that had been burned and smeared with peanut butter

But somehow hearing Jimmy say he 'feels like the burden on his shoulders is gone, ' is like describing a brother who looks after his sister lovingly letting go along with a loved one.

"Keep the plan ahead you want what? In short, your engagement is off and the girl you like is already married and you're sincere?" Vera asked curiously.

Jimmy seemed to be frowning as if he was thinking. "Where if we try to date, I want to get closer to you, Ver?"

Instantly Vera felt her body stiffen but the conspiracy seconds later the woman burst out laughing at Jimmy's awkward speech.

"Don't do it, do I want to just be in the impingement?" exclaim Vera.

Actually Jimmy really admires the beauty of his best friend, but of course he knows who Vera Gabriela is

Vera Gabriela and Vero Gabriel were born from the womb of a woman who works as a doctor named Nita and also the father who is a CEO named Nathan Gabriel.

A family of conglomerates whose business is like an octopus, is creeping everywhere. And also the family of the mother who has a large hospital and also several branches of hospitals in several Indonesian cities.

Of course Jimmy is nothing compared to them, but somehow he was that brave enough to ask Vera to date?

Seriate.

Everyone, still remember the same Nita and Nathan in the author's novel My Ex Wife 'nah, Vero same Vera is their son yaaa and of course his brother Keill Abraham.
