Two hours of the charity event. Every series of events went well, proved many philanthropists who contribute to the medical costs of underprivileged children who are mostly orphans.
Mei as the person in charge of the event, looks busy here and there, so can not accompany them.
The three men sat at the same table as Lingling, her three friends, and Aluna. Not accidentally, it just happened, Aluna was forced to sit in an empty chair that was only the rest of one beside Juna.
Both look stiff. Since Lingling was introduced earlier, not a single word broke out of her lips.
Rizal and Bram are indeed Juna's college friends, but no matter how close they are, neither of them knows the face of the girl Juna is married to. They only know, Juna canceled the plan to work in Germany at that time because he was betrothed and forced to marry.
Afterwards, the news of their farewell was only known at a glance by Tania, who was indeed Rizal's friend as well.
It was the turn of some children whose hair had been seen plontos, wearing ballet costumes, and preparing to dance.
"How are you?" asked Juna who could not bear just staring at the beautiful face of Aluna without greeting her.
When he met earlier, Juna was so surprised, that he felt his body was so light and his feet were not resting on the floor anymore.
Aluna was still sitting gracefully, raising her chin with a gaze of enjoying the show ahead. Proud and charming. Two years apart, the girl is getting prettier, looking more and more mature.
Feeling gnawed, Juna played the end of Aluna's long hair. Groping, feeling the softness of the hair that until now he can still remember how it smells.
"Law... Sick," sizzled Aluna as Juna anxiously pulled a bit of the end of her hair.
"Well, if people ask that to be answered!"
"Have you answered? Who are you? Sorry, we don't know!"
Believe no. The moment he met Aluna, the pain and hatred that Juna had felt in his heart, melted instantly, changing with the sea of longing for the girl.
"Oh, so you don't know me?" tanya Juna lifted one leg and rested on the other.
The question was in fact able to provoke Aluna, bringing the beautiful eyeballs the girl stared intently at her.
Long stared at each other, accompanied by a soft music that accompanied the ballet dance in front. Juna smiled, as a marker of the end of the argument.
"really. I don't know you at all. Keep your distance from me!"
Juna's feelings fell back. Aluna hasn't changed. She is still a proud girl who every word is able to hurt people's hearts. But damn, he loves that girl!
Were it not for the love she felt, Juna would definitely not care about the girl.
Juna looked at Aluna carefully. I wanted to hold the girl and say she misses her so much.
However, Juna who is now certainly more mature than before. Formed with suffering and also great sadness when leaving his country.
"It seems like the strategy has to change. If I had held back because of your heartless Opa, this time, I would have held the storyline!" batin Juna stumbled a smile.
Luckily, Aluna, because Juna is not the type of man who turns heartache into a place of revenge and turns into a psychopath.
After the attitude of the judges shown by Aluna, Juna withdrew. This time he was sure the trick would work.
***
During this time he was quite frugal because indeed all facilities were borne by the company, including the apartment they currently live in. So, all the salaries, perks and bonuses, not to mention the special incentives given to him as GM, made Juna's coffers swell.
He also invested in his country. Building her mother's house into a luxurious, two-story. At first Juna offered to move to a luxury house in South Jakarta that he bought, but his mother refused. He said he would not leave his father's house.
"Thank you, Jun, for making a donation to the kids. It means a lot to them" said Mei smiling, making her pink cheek face redder.
Although Juna has not said anything about their relationship status, but Mei will be patient waiting. Being on Juna's side even though only a friend status, has made him happy. Enough for now.
Mei's shy reaction when talking to Juna, clearly caught on camera Aluna's eyes. She is also a girl, and can guess that Mei has a taste for Juna, and she hates knowing that.
While Juna who glanced at Aluna through the tail of his eyes, only smiled faintly. "Because of you!" he tries to stay ordinary.
"Well, how come it's just Juna? Is it because we have less donations than Juna?" Bram protest. Though honestly, he made the donation also to attract sympathy Mei, yes, he was sincere. But there really are two purposes. A proverb says once a paddle, two three islands are surpassed.
"Not so, I will say thank you to each of you, starting from Juna," replied Mei ngeles.
"The job's done, right? We home?" juna asked towards Rizal and Bram.
"Come on, but since it's still afternoon, it's Sunday night again, how about we hang out first, have a few casual drinks first?" bargain Bram, but the question was more to Mei.
Lying if she could just erase her feelings in May. But for the good of everyone, he chose to stay in the friend zone line. Loving in silence, friend status.
"OKAY. Singles like this collect in the apartment, most also play PS!" rizal agreed with Bram.
"We're coming, sister," sambar Lingling. The three friends have gone home, picked up their respective girlfriends. Lingling and Alana.
"Byeah" replied May. "Rameer, more exciting."
"I'm not coming, brother. Back to my hotel apartment."
Almost all eyes turned towards Aluna, only Juna who pretended not to care.
"Loh, Aluna doesn't live in Mei's apartment?" timpal Rizal's. The man had been trying to get Aluna's attention, but had always failed.
"No. Aluna sometimes just stay in our apartment during the holidays here," explained Mei who managed to make Juna showed her curiosity.
She thinks Aluna went to college in Germany, just like Mei's sister and her friends.
Why did this boy go to Germany? How was he in Indo?
"So, Aluna wasn't a medical student like Lingling?"
"Not, who works at that hospital, me and my cousin, Lingling's brother. Lingling, it's still college."
"Well, if this is Aluna, my Junior High School friend in indo, we're close friends. Last week, I heard he was on holiday in Germany, so we met, huh" Lingling said.
Aluna was silent, not responding to anything. His skull felt cramped. It was as if someone was staring at him at this moment.
"I go home first, yes," said Aluna, opening her voice.
"Let me take you!"
