EX: A Story That Doesn't Come

Chapter.28 (Step closer)

"You must be very busy, right?" asked Hendry when he saw Luna focused on staring at the screen of his phone since then.

Luna shifted her focus to look at the man before her. Yes, they were waiting for the food order to come, instead of chatting, he was busy with his cell phone. He immediately put the phone on the table.

"Sorry brother, after this there is an operation schedule and I ask my assistant to prepare the operating room," said Luna.

Hendry gasped when he heard Luna's reply, "I didn't expect you to be the way you are now, I still remember very well when I first met you on campus when I dropped off Mishel, you were angry at the lecturer."

"Haha, Brother Hendry still remembers .. that time I sucked. I was so scared to see blood and it was a surgical practice test, thank you for saving me from the killer lecturer" Luna said.

"That time you have been grateful to bow many times, you can survive as now because of your own efforts .. Now I regret why I did not choose a medical major," said Hendry.

"Why does Hendry regret it?" ask Luna curiously.

"If I were also a doctor, at least we could meet every day, have lunch together and do a lot of things together" Hendry said, smiling at Luna.

Hearing that, Luna just kept quiet. His premonition strengthened again as the speech seemed to lead to something beyond bounds. Their eyes stared at each other until finally

"Please, enjoy."

The restaurant waiter's words shifted the focus of the two.

"Let's eat, before your lunch hour is over, after this I also have to go back to my company."

"Yes, brother."

...***...

Adrian got out of the car and stepped over to Joni who was talking to the head of the project.

"Is this the guy, where have you been?" joni asked when he realized Adrian's presence.

"I have business for a while" replied Adrian.

"If you'll excuse me, I have to control the workers again" said the project's head.

"Yes, please" said Adrian.

After the departure of the head of the project, Joni stepped closer to Adrian. He wondered where his friend was, suddenly disappeared without telling himself.

"What business do you have ... oh don't you see doctor Luna?" joni asked, squinting his eyes.

"Why? They canceled the project?" asked Joni who looked very curious.

"It's not because of that but because I rejected the project" he replied.

"What! I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"You didn't hear wrong, I rejected the project" said Adrian.

"Oh my God, you realize when you miss this opportunity, it's a big project worth millions of dollars, time is money Bro," Joni said with a face of frustration.

"There is more precious than money, you will not understand because you have not experienced. I'll add your bonus, take it easy" Adrian said.

Joni won't understand because she hasn't been in love her whole life, yeah except the monkey love she once was. He has been busy working with Adrian for the past few years, so he has no time to look at women. It's only natural that they've been gossiped about as same-sex couples.

"OK fine, but I want to know why you turned down that big project?" ask Joni.

"We're not leaving this city because I'm accepting one more project" Adrian said.

"What project?" ask Joni.

"The construction of the new building of the hospital where Luna worked," replied Adrian.

"What! I guessed again because Luna ... you know I can't prevent your wishes, so whatever," Joni looked upset, she stepped past Adrian.

"Hey you're mad!" adrian exclaimed as Joni left.

Joni turned to look at Adrian, "Don't forget to send the bonus that you say now .. We review the location tomorrow only," said Joni then continued his steps.

Adrian tekekeh himself. He thought his best friend was really angry. Apparently not, he was relieved that Joni agreed to accept the project. Yes, that much he sacrificed, for a woman he did not want to let go of again.

Quite simply he made the mistake of not defending. Now he is struggling, to get the heart of the former. Perhaps more precisely fix the pieces of the heart that have been destroyed by it.

Sometimes destiny is so funny, uniting, separating and reuniting again. Because sometimes one has to be willing to accept, in order to understand what it is to lose.
