Happy After Parting With You

Chapter 40

Rani chills over at Arman's words, but she also cannot deny that Arman's presence interferes with her time a little.

"Right, right, what I just said?"

Arman asked as if he knew what was on Rani's mind. Rani simply replied by twitching her shoulders, making the man instantly chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?" Tanya Rani put on a face pretending not to like.

"You're funny, Ran, you can never lie." Said Arman while shaking his head.

"Then do you know if you'll get out of here soon?" Rani asked while squinting her eyes.

"Not really." Arman replied still with the rest of his laughter, making Rani snort at the man's answer.

"You..today alone?" Tanya Rani hesitated.

Arman looked at her and put on a look of wonder, "is there anyone else you're waiting for?" Ask Arman, until a second later he seemed to realize something.

"Did Alvin also say he'd be here?" Arman changed his seat and faced Rani.

Rani does not immediately answer, or rather she hesitates to answer Arman's question.

"I think Alvin's gonna be here." Although the woman before him did not want to answer, Arman could conclude that his assumption was not wrong.

"Yes, Mr. Alvin said he'd come here. That's why I accidentally turned off my phone." Rani replied with a sigh.

"Why?" Arman asked, wanting to know why Rani had turned off her phone.

"I just wanted to calm down, without any interference from anyone."

Arman looked more and more at Rani with concern, he felt sorry for the woman.

"Ran, whenever you need a shoulder to lean on, call me."

Only two more days Rani spent her vacation on this island of the Gods. Since morning he has been making plans for where to go today. After his meeting with Arman on Kuta beach yesterday, he decided to move to a hotel closer to Kuta. He's tired if he has to cat again. Even so, he still deactivated his phone.

This time Rani is ready to leave to go to Ubud, there are several places that she wants to visit. After finishing breakfast, Rani has prepared with her small backpack, then waits for the online taxi she booked with the hotel receptionist rocks. Rani was waiting in front of the hotel lobby when someone greeted her.

"Would you leave so early?" Arman asked, apparently he was already standing next to Rani. The woman was unconscious because she had been busy watching the flower plants in front of the hotel lobby.

"Eh." Rani turned her head to hear the man's voice, "yes, Man, it just so happened to be quite bright this morning." Reply to Rani while smiling.

Arman was staying at the same hotel as Rani, he did not know that Rani was also staying at the same hotel. After their meeting at Kuta Beach yesterday, Arman first left Rani. He also booked this place a long time while planning to go to Bali.

"Where are you going this time?" Ask Arman just to know. Rani did not answer, she turned her eyes elsewhere. That made Arman know enough not to ask further.

"Thank you." Reply Rani and the woman got into the car.

While in Ubud Rani visited some famous tourist attractions there, his heart was very happy because again the residents in this area are very friendly. After being satisfied around, Rani finally stopped at a restaurant. He entered the place with a rumbling stomach, understand, this is the first time he came to this place and since morning he did not have time to eat breakfast because he was too enthusiastic.

As he walked in he did not realize that in front of him there was someone walking. Finally Rani hit the body of the person, fortunately not to fall. When Rani looked at the person she hit earlier, both her eyes widened.

"German!" Rani is shocked to realize who this person is.

"You here?" Asked Arman, it seemed like he was also surprised to ask a silly question earlier. Of course anyone can come to this place.

Rani confirmed the location of her hair to relieve the nervousness, "you have an event here too?" Asked the woman finally after being able to master the circumstances.

"Yes, I have a meeting in that room." Point it at a room not far from where they stand.

"But it'll be over soon, you want us to eat together? Take your place and order as you please, I'll catch up."

Without waiting for an answer from Rani, Arman soon passed leaving the woman who was staring at him with her mouth gaping wide. Then like a buffalo whipped his nose, Rani obeyed Arman's speech, after ordering some menu he then looked for a seat.

While walking Rani cursed her own stupidity, why suddenly she wanted to obey the man's words. It could be, right, when the man left earlier he also took a step to leave this place. Rani is not out of thought with herself, has she been hypnotized by Arman?

Rani found a gazebo that was quite comfortable, located somewhat into the restaurant. There are several similar gazebos that have been occupied by visitors. Some bring their families, or business partners if they see from the formal way of dress.

As the wind blew on Rani's face as she sat waiting for her order, she looked around. In addition to several gazebos, this place is also equipped with a small garden located in one corner, also equipped with a pond with an artificial fountain that adds to the uniqueness of this place.

Moments later Rani's order comes along, as does Arman. The man looks smiling seeing Rani obeying his words.

"Sorry, yeah, it's been a while." Said the man while taking his place in front of Rani. The woman simply replied with a smile while waiting for the waiter to arrange their order.

"How was the walk?" Arman asked after a while the waiter had left.

"It's nice enough, I even thought about staying here." Rani answered, her hand took the plate and filled it with rice and side dishes.

"Are you serious?" Tanya Arman couldn't believe it.

"Why indeed?" Rani stops her mouthful seeing Arman's reaction.

"Yes, it's okay, I happen to have a house here. Who knows if we can stay together."
