Grandpa's Choice Man

Before Healing It Whole

Tiara felt uncomfortable with her trip this time because she had to sit next to Arjuna. Audit personnel turned out to be one person, namely Sherly. Sherly is added because she was appointed from the beginning by Arjuna to guide Tiara. Either coincidentally or premeditated, the ticket given by Arjuna turns out to be next to him. Sherly sits down with Toni and Kevin with Fara.

"Where are you?" arjuna asked suddenly with a heavy hoarse voice.

"Surabaya, Mr. Juna," replied Tiara trying as kindly as possible.

"Away yes. In Jakarta kos or who lives with?" ask Arjuna, getting curious.

"For a while kos because let's near the internship place. But, if everyday living with family," said Tiara as it is.

"Are there families in Jakarta?" cecar Arjuna's.

"There, sir," said Tiara briefly.

"When you go home, a plane or a train?" Arjuna is getting curious about Tiara.

"Train. Afraid of my height," Tiara said began to ease her discomfort.

Suddenly, their newly started chat had to pause due to the ringing of Tiara's phone. Both of them saw the contact listed on the Tiara phone screen that read Abang🐶. Politely, Tiara asked permission to pick up the phone and stop talking to Arjuna.

"Darling, where have you been?" rama asked seriously.

"No idea, Bang. I think it is still Jabodetabek area," replied Tiara spirit.

"Udah kangen's. Want a hug," said Rama spoiled.

"Oh the bottom of the crocodile's mouth" said Tiara.

"Bi...r to.. ri.." Rama's voice faltered as the internet network deteriorated.

"Done, not clear. Just keep going later. Chat first," said Tiara.

"p?" asked Rama vaguely.

Tiara immediately turned off the phone because it was useless to explain too, Rama would not hear his voice clearly. Then, she immediately typed in a message so that her husband would not fuss.

Tiaras

The signal brother is ugly. My voice is unclear. Then connect again.

Abang🐶

"Based on the three-door refrigerator," Tiara said, but it was clearly heard by Arjuna who had listened and watched.

"Who, Ra? Your brother?" ask Arjuna curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Juna. This s___" Tiara's remark was suddenly cut off due to the presence of Toni who brought the laptop to show to Arjuna.

"Sir Arjuna, the report format is like this, right?" ask Toni while pointing at her laptop screen.

Arjuna's attention is turned to the laptop and forgets his conversation with Tiara. Somehow he felt calm when he found out that the man who called Tiara was his brother.

After Arjuna finished discussing with Toni, he looked in amazement at Tiara who was enjoying the view outside the train. Secretly, he thought about what Mr. Hadi said this morning about him and Tiara. Increasingly, he felt increasingly curious about Tiara because of her true nature, spoiled, and cheerful yet so mysterious in quiet fashion. In fact, he did not seem to be thirsty at all when working with him and doing everything as well as possible. If there are some mistakes, he is deft to improve and willing to learn from his mistakes. In addition, he was not easily down with all the criticism so Arjuna like getting a fresh breeze with the presence of Tiara. He became more curious to explore the figure of Tiara who never showed the slightest admiration for him so that when different from most women he met.

"Ra, want some noodle pop? Others buy pop noodles," asked Arjuna, making Tiara's view turn directly sparkling.

"May, sir," Tiara replied nodding enthusiastically.

A thin smile restrained on Arjuna's cold lips because of the anxiety with Tiara's attitude. Before all is clear, he doesn't want to show too much interest in Tiara. Besides not knowing Tiara has a boyfriend or not, he also does not want Tiara to be awkward close to him. Tiara's presence gradually erodes the shadow of her first love which is too dark to remember but abstruse to forget.

After the popmie order came and one hot coffee, Arjuna paid for it. While Tiara was waiting for her noodle pop to warm, she was stunned to find Arjuna looking at her deeply. Arjuna was no less surprised suddenly met with Tiara until his own misbehavior.

"What's up, Mr Juna? Is there something you want to say?" tiara asked awkwardly herself.

"No. Sorry I was daydreaming" replied Arjuna.

"Oh.." said Tiara rounding her lips.

The pletaaakkk!

Suddenly, Tiara's phone falls from her lap down the footrest of Rama's chair. Reflexes, Rama and Tiara simultaneously bow to retrieve it. Because their movements were both fast and did not take into account whether the two would make the same movement, eventually their head collision was inevitable. The two of them both returned to sitting upright and in pain rubbed his forehead but chuckled together. Toni, Kevin, Fara, and Sherly were stunned to hear their giggles, but they sounded so familiar. The puzzle that had been dwelling in their minds seemed to find the key to the answer.

"Udah let me just take it myself, sir," said Tiara as she leaned over to pick up her phone.

"Not what, sir. His intention is to help me too" Tiara said kindly.

"Aren't you bringing any more gudeg?" tanya Arjuna shifted the topic of conversation to brush off the awkwardness between them.

"No, Sir. My gudeg eating partner is busy in the HR division so we rarely mausoleum together again. Maybe, later when you're done with the internship. Not busy eating gudeg himself," replied Tiara while fiddling with his phone and he was relieved because it was okay after falling.

"Let's go to Yogya, how about we eat real gudeg there. My family and I have a subscription that I guarantee is really good because the restaurant has been standing since the 1970s. The recipe was passed down from generation to generation until the flavor is still the same and persists until now. After eating this gudeg, maybe you will be more in love with that one food," said Arjuna excited.

Hearing his exposure that did not have the slightest fierce impression, made four of his men made gawk and more stunned. The reason, Arjuna they know is an irritable figure to talk, lazy to talk about spare change outside of work, and do not like to be naked. However, since the presence of Tiara they feel a different atmosphere in the marketing division. The atmosphere there is not as good as usual. In addition to Tiara who is cheerful and easy to get along with anyone, Arjuna also seems to be more tame and not easy to explode.

"What a very interesting offer, sir. Possible. But, the others are also there, right?" tiara asked ascertained as she did not want to repeat the same carelessness.

"What if it's both?" timpal Arjuna.

"It's not good for the other one, sir. After all, I was uncomfortable and not used to also go alone with men other than my family. Afraid of slander from people who knowingly, but like to immediately conclude," said Tiara.

"Never go with a boyfriend?" asked Arjuna a little hesitant but he was very curious about the answer so expectantly anxious waiting for him.

"Other Father. Boro-boro street same girlfriend, courtship never. Aih has a two-boy brother, and his possessiveness is amazing. Every time there is a guy who deketin, they tatar until lost without news," replied Tiara while starting to enjoy her noodle pop.

Arjuna raised one of his eyebrows so astonished. Want to not believe but Tiara explained smoothly and innocently so that he did not expect just a beautiful girl and a blanket Tiara had never dated. Like the impossible but he cannot deny it either.

"Really?" sansi Arjuna smiled next to his lips.

"Current. Why is it that everyone I've told you about I've never been in a relationship has looked at me so weird? It's a disgrace to never date, sir?" tanya Tiara plain with a mouth full of noodles.

"It's not. It means that it is rare today there are girls who have never dated. Yes, there are, but most of them have been" replied Arjuna sumringah.

"Not knowing I'm this. Either the guys who don't want to be with me or are afraid of me. Every guy who takes me and meets my mas duo must be instantly upset, Mr. Juna," Tiara explained with a serious mimic.

"Yes means Masmu is very dear to you. They want to protect you from guys is not good," said Arjuna muttered.

"Yes anyway. On second thought there was also a silver lining, so I could focus on my studies" Tiara agreed.

Suddenly, the excitement of their chatter was interrupted by the sound of a message on Tiara's phone. Tiara glimpsed at the screen, there was a new number that sent her a picture message. When Tiara focused on staring at her phone, Arjuna also chose to sip coffee while enjoying the atmosphere on the train. Although, the carriages they took were executive yet comfortable enough to calm down.

Initially, Tiara wanted to ignore the photo sent by the unknown number but was so curious because it was very familiar with the shape of the still blurry photo. Jemari Tiara was also moved to download it. After that, how astonished Tiara saw her husband was so friendly with her mother Selvi.

"Huh?" tiara's strangulation of the lyrics restrained her inner pain that had to be re-injured before it healed perfectly.

Tiara's appetite suddenly goes away and instantly makes her half-baked pop noodles into a trash can that happens to be being pushed by the officers on the train. Tiara's carefree face suddenly disappeared changed grimly full of anger and sadness. His eyes glazed so he looked out the window.

Finding Tiara's attitude changing by one hundred and eighty degrees, Arjuna felt strange and indecisive. Faintly, it was like hearing a Tiara sob that was very soft and camouflaged by the roar of a car.

"Tiara," call Arjuna softly.

"Yes, sir," Tiara replied without turning her head but her voice was a bit raucous.

"Why?" ask Arjuna worriedly.

"I'm fine, sir. Just a little tired," replied Tiara leaning back into the chair and holding back her cries.

"Yes already. Rest up. Go sleep. I'll wake up when I get there," tell Arjuna who actually does not believe in Tiara's answer but does not want to disturb him further.

I wanted to be in disbelief, but the photo looked real. From the look of them alone it is seen if it is not a photo of the past, it is really their current appearance. Tiara had seen the shirt worn by Rama. Their haircut was exactly the same as last met.

Tiara wanted to deny but again had no reasonable reason. As if the wound was re-watered with salt water, Tiara's heart felt sore once but could no longer cry. He could only groan inwardly and hide all the pain in his silence.

A message came in from the same number.

The man is indeed already nature wants to be pampered and given the satisfaction of inner birth. The faithful will lose to the ever-present. The affection will lose to the one that gives comfort. Rama has been through a very hard day because of you. You who suddenly entered his life, then left him just like that. Every day he is frustrated waiting for your news, every day he is stressed to be scolded by his mother because of your departure, every day he cries and exhausts himself to forget the fatigue of his suffering. Don't blame her for ultimately falling for a woman who truly cares and loves her. In the end, he realized which one was just a stopping place and which one was home. You are just a very selfish and spoiled little boy, not thinking about the inner needs of men and not caring about the feelings of Rama. Better to leave her forever or you'll make her suffer more.

Tiara was inflamed reading it until she could no longer hold back her tears. One drop, two drops, so it flows so fast that Arjuna does not know how to react. Tiara was eager to scream out loud but her voice suddenly disappeared somewhere. It can no longer be explained how he read the message even though he did not believe fully but he was well aware that he could not be a full and perfect wife. Seeing their photos had greatly disturbed his calm, especially reading the message below certainly really makes him want to disappear for a moment from the world and forget everything.

"Ra," called Arjuna as he grabbed Tiara's head to lean against her chest for not knowing how to calm Tiara down.

Tiara did not resist and deepened her silent cry. Just a soft sob and the sound of a weak breath was heartbreaking. Arjuna to come to tears to find Tiara as broken as this because all this time, he saw Tiara as a very carefree and cheerful person.
