Gone off?

CHAPTER 18 (First Meeting After So Long)

His entire body instantly felt stiff, with an expression that looked shocked the moment he saw it. A sight he had never thought of before. This was the first meeting for him after so long, therefore he was a bit awkward and confused in overcoming it.

Rama seemed unable to control his surprised expression. His body felt stiff to just stand right beside him, he did not even dare to just glance at him.

Right, right next to him stood Anjani who looked exhausted from the supermarket considering he was seen carrying a plastic parcel in his hand.

Being in a closed and rather narrow elevator with only two people in it is very uncomfortable, especially for Rama who is still a bit in disbelief can meet with Anjani after a long time, a female figure who has inhabited his heart long enough.

If Rama looked awkward and remembered himself after a long time, not with Anjani who seemed to not recognize the figure of Rama who stood beside him, considering his expression that looked flat and did not give any reaction.

Ting.the sound of the elevator door opened, stopping on the 37th floor, where Rama lived. Because maybe a little pensive, Rama looks unfocused and hears the sound of the elevator door opening, to make Anjani who was beside him seemed to glance at him who did not come out of the elevator even though the door was open.

"You're not down?" His speech to Rama, made Rama realized from his daydream.

"Ah.yeah sorry.. " His reply was somewhat stammered staring at the open door then rushed down before the door closed again.

Still standing in front of the elevator to be closed, Rama looked straight ahead, and from the gap of the elevator door that would be closed he ventured to see Anjani. Their eyes finally met each other between the elevator doors that would soon be closed.

Once the elevator is completely closed, Rama still stands in front of the elevator while digesting and understanding what he experienced. He looked up at the way the elevator would stop, and just then the elevator stopped on the 38th floor, the floor directly above his residence.

...

On the other hand, Anjani, who was in her apartment after she returned from the supermarket, laid her body on the sofa while putting her groceries on the table.

When he tried to close his eyes, he briefly recalled a man with him in the elevator. He recalled the men's gaze when their eyes met each other between the elevator doors that were about to close. Although he did not know why it could make him think, it was just that it made him curious about the gaze of the man, which he thought was a little strange.

"Did he know me?." Anjani muttered then no longer cared about him.

While Rama who looked exhausted because some days he overtime and came home a little night, making him a little uninspired.

Today he wanted to go to bed as soon as he came home from the hospital, but in fact he could not sleep at all even though he had closed his eyes several times. He was still thinking about his meeting back with Anjani.

He breathed a long sigh several times, a sign of being confused with himself.

"When he doesn't remember me.. " His murmur remembered Anjani who did not recognize him at that time. He smiled wryly while feeling sorry for himself who was back wavering.
