He's Not For Me

CHAPTER 12 | An Inaccessible Heart

As the sun rose, Bianca awoke from her sleep, the light slowly entering between the window that was not perfectly closed by the curtain hitting Bianca's face that morning, her eyes slowly opened. Bianca tried to stretch her body for a moment after waking up and she was preparing to leave, today is her holiday, she decided to accompany her best friend.

“Mama, Bianca go to the hospital first ma. Poor Airin himself, both parents are busy”, he said as he kissed the cheek of his mother who was preparing food at the dinner table.

“The time is right, take this with you. Make sure Airin eats mama's cooking, this is her favorite cup cake”, Bianca's mother replies to her while giving her a bag containing the cup cake. Along with the provisions he read Bianca rushed to see his best friend in the hospital. The condition of the road is quite crowded in the morning that makes the road quite jammed, but it is common for the city of Surabaya. Arriving at the Bianca hospital directly to Airin's room, seeing his best friend was only accompanied by a lighted television, Bianca sat beside Airin while taking some fruit on the side table and peeling it for Airin.

“Morning has come here?”, asked Airin to his friend who was busy cutting fruit for him.

“Yeah, there's nothing I can do at home, I better come with you. Because I know my best friend will not be able to survive without me by his side”, he said, joking with Airin while giving pieces of apples he had peeled.

“From the time you spend with me, it's better to look for the Bi” couple, Airin's tease on her best friend who has been single for almost two years. Bianca smiled wryly at the temptation of her best friend and then cut back the remaining apples in her hands.

“You know I love all the handsome men in the world, including your lover. At very handsome and great”, he said praising Billy, Airin's lover while imagining the figure of another handsome man who is like Billy

It was common for Airin to hear his best friend praise his handsome and dashing lover, plus his quiet and cold attitude made him look perfect in the eyes of every woman. Airin just smiled at Bianca who wanted to get a lover like Billy.

“Yes.. I am so grateful to have her in my life, even at the worst time of my life she still remains and faithfully accompanies me. I don't know what good I ever did until God sent me a very good man and also very extraordinary like himself” Airin told Bianca while recalling the day they had both passed.

Bianca suddenly fell silent to see her best friend was happy with her relationship and Billy, despite wanting her to say what she saw yesterday but Bianca abandoned her intentions,. For him this is not the right time and again he is not sure who the woman is, it could be that he is Billy's brother or one of his closest people.

Clinting

The sound of bells attached to the door of Yuki's shop again rang, an old grandfather entered his shop and was about to buy flowers, he wanted to buy flowers for his wife who is currently having a birthday, he said, roses were her choice at the time. Soon Yuki arranged the roses for her grandfather, but he did not find a plastic sheet to wrap them.

“Where do I put the plastic?”, asked Yuki as she searched for the sheet of paper she had just picked up from behind. Until his gaze was directed at the top shelf, he placed it there while cleaning the store. Yuki tried to take the plastic but her less tall body was unable to reach it. Until a hand helps Yuki get the plastic, the tall man easily grabs the plastic on the top shelf and gives it to Yuki, a man who came back and always managed to make her flutter. His height that did not reach the shoulders of the man who stood firmly beside him made him able to breathe a distinctive aroma that came out of his body.

“What is this that you need?”, asked Billy to Yuki who was staring at him stunned and not even blinked. Billy disperse the daydreams of Yuki who kept looking at him by bringing his face closer to the woman.

“Ah.. Yes, this is what I need”, he said then returned to the cashier table to wrap the flower arrangement that he had arranged neatly.

“Do you know, the old man is really very romantic once”, Airin told Billy who was beside him.

“What's up?”, asked Billy.

“He bought a series of flowers for his wife who is having a birthday today, how sweet is not the treatment? If only there was a man who treated me like that, I would also feel happy”, he said if only.

Yuki imagined a man coming with flowers in his hand and hugging them. Just imagining it made her smile but she knew it would never happen, even if the man she expected to be next to her was right now but what Yuki imagined might never come true.

“Why not find a guy like that?”, asked Billy again.

“I've met the man, but I'm not sure if the man likes me too or not”, Yuki said with a long sigh, occasionally stealing glances at Billy.

“Sealize first. Nowadays not a few women who express their feelings first. Just tell her how you feel, how know she also has the same feelings as you”, suggested Billy. Without knowing who the man in question is, Billy is opening up even greater reproach and giving Yuki access to continue to enjoy every time they spend alone. Yuki was just a small smile hearing Billy's advice to her.

“How old are you?”, asked Yuki arrived.

“I? thirty-three years”, Billy replied immediately. Yuki was surprised to find out that the man beside her was older than her.

“What? Just be right. That means I should have called you sis. Ah no, maybe uncle”, said Yuki slightly teasing Billy at the time. He was eight years older than her.

“Jeez this kid.. Just call brother not uncle, I'm not that old”, Billy stared back at Yuki who laughed with satisfaction after successfully teasing him. Billy was silent for a moment to see him laugh, even the way he laughed was also joking very similar to his lover.

It doesn't feel like Billy has been in Yuki's shop for nearly an hour, but the wall clock resuscitates him if he's late enough to go to the hospital with his girlfriend there, the flower arrangement he brought and Billy left Yuki.

“I have to go, it doesn't feel like I've been here an hour. Talking to you is really fun”, said Billy then left the store.

Yuki could only stare at her when she decided to leave him, wanting to keep him from leaving and keep him here with her, but she realized that he was not who. Her lover is far more important than her who only put feelings that may never be avenged.

“Hah.. This time it was the same as before”gumamnya feel heartache and jealousy in him.
