EX: A Story That Doesn't Come

Chapter.32 (Hidden desires)

...There are things we miss, as we move on. Things we didn't know before, we finally know now. Hearts that miss each other without being able to meet. You know I can't leave, don't you? Even if we can't go back to what we used to be, there's only one thing I can do, to stay afloat....

Let me stay near you.

Joni entered a night entertainment center in the city center. After today's exhaustion for helping his best friend who is CLBK, he wants to have fun with the card given Adrian. It was the first time he had entered a club in the city.

The atmosphere is boisterous because of the sound of the guests who are enjoying the accompaniment of music remix from the disc jockey. He likes to go to clubs to entertain himself but he never plays with the women of the night in that place.

"It's good to wash your eyes, bored also every day just see Rian and his purity."

Joni continued her steps sitting in a bar stool. He ordered a cocktail. Cocktails are alcoholic beverages mixed with flavored drinks or other ingredients, and they are a favorite of both he and Adrian.

When the drink was ready, he immediately gulped it down slowly, "Well fresh." Joni enjoyed the musical accompaniment, until finally he caught a familiar figure sitting on the sofa alone.

"It wasn't Mishel."

Out of curiosity, Joni moves out of her seat, approaching the girl she thinks is Mishel. As he got closer, it turned out that his guess was correct, the woman he saw was really Mishel, he took a sitting position in front of Mishel who was already visibly drunk.

"Doctor Mishel, remember I don't" Joni said in a voice that dominated the room.

Mishel raised her head, looking at the man before her. His eyes were one but he could still smile, "Oh you are Adrian's friend, Jockey."

"Bu-not Jockey but Joni!" exclaim Joni.

"Ah I don't know where your friend is ..he dared to refuse and ignore me!" mishel said he was already under the influence of alcohol.

Joni did not immediately answer, I should not say that Adrian was with Luna, Joni's mind.

"He was designing the building in the apartment, he was busy" Joni replied.

Suddenly the look on Mishel's face turned mellow, "Let's see I'm fine, what's less than me huh! I just want to have a partner who loves me sincerely but why am I always in play .. not the bre*sek and also Adrian, they are just playing me.

"Ouch!! Why do I even remember that baj*ngan, he has taken my chastity .. hahaha yes where there may be men who want to be with women like me huh, what else is a man as perfect as Adrian, what more, why is my life so fucking shit!" yelled Mishel who was becoming.

"You know, every guy I liked in college used to love Luna! When I found out Luna and Adrian were close. I was upset and I wanted to make Luna realize her position. But you know what he told me ... he said, is it true that I can beat you? Hahaha and oddly enough I'm afraid of him, shit!" mishel said, then sipped a drink straight from the bottle.

Not wanting Mishel to get drunk Joni grabbed the bottle and replaced it with a bottle of mineral water. Mishel again grabbed the bottle that Joni had swapped, "It looks like I'm sleepy, why does this drink feel so bland."

"That's because you're drunk, will I take you home?" ask Joni.

"No! My papa will go berserk if he finds out I'm drunk, I'll just sleep here." Mishel dropped her body to lie on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Joni took a long breath. Intentions he wanted to relax, now instead get a new problem, "What should I do now, why I'm so unlucky today, do I leave it alone." He looked at Mishel who was currently asleep.

Luna and Adrian are eating together in a simple stall. Yes, this place is Luna's favorite place to eat during college first, because the menu served is a home-cooked dish that his mother used to cook.

"You used to come here?" ask Adrian.

"Yes, when I got a scholarship to college in this city, I eat here almost every day ..what else when I miss Mom," said Luna then go back to devouring her food.

Adrian looked at Luna who was sitting in front of him, if he remembered every moment when he was still a son-in-law, he remembered very well if the former in-law was a warm and kind person, "I miss your mother's cooking too."

Luna raised her head, looking at Adrian who was also looking at her, "Yes Mother's cooking is second to none."

"Your mother must hate me so much, right?"

"It seems so, so do your parents .. so don't ask why we can't go back to the way we used to." Luna again lowered her gaze, enjoying the food left on the plate.

Adrian was down too. He understood Luna's intentions. Although it feels so heavy, but it can be close like this alone he already feels happy. I will try to fix everything, I just want you to come back to me, even if not today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but someday. That blessing will come back to our side, I promise, I promise, inner Adrian.

Why is everything so difficult, dealing with you like now makes my logic and feelings back together. Not in line with what I said, actually I still hope that blessing back even though in the shadow of everything feels impossible, am I wrong even though it only muffles in the heart? Inner Luna.

They continued to eat dinner between the silence. All that was heard was the sound of plates and spoons clashing against each other. Today they seem to be at peace with the situation. Although to tie each other still feels far in sight.

The universe is playing with both feelings. To forge that sense to be stronger, because their failure in the past is an example if the superficial taste will only end in separation.
