105|Meet Again

“Your habits have not changed, yes. I waited a long time until the jamuran. What was lo salonan first inside?” he returned my phone.

I blinked my eyes, still unable to believe he was in front of me. I looked around, looking for a hidden camera. Am I being bullied by a television station? Nowadays there are a lot of influencers who record anything for the sake of content.

“Lo find what? Come, hurry. I still have a lot of work.” He took over my trolley, then walked ahead of me first.

I followed him still believing in disbelief. This country is so big, how could he be here as well? We've been out of touch for a year, how did he know I was gonna be in town. The United States is huge and consists of fifty states. How could he happen to be in this state?

“Come, login.” He opened the door for me, while a man helped put my suitcase in the trunk of the car.

But when we got close, I didn't obey him. We parted for too long and I only have one thing I would love to do if I met him. Then that's what I did. I hugged her body tightly when we got close.

I inhaled her scent deeply, recalling the new fragrance she was wearing. At first he was just silent, but he returned my embrace after a while. I smiled and felt the kiss in my head. He still likes me.

That one sweet gesture convinced me to do the second thing I wanted, so I loosened my arms, then tiptoed. He stood up straight so I couldn't reach my target. I sneered at his actions.

“Pelit,” my complaint.

“Log in. Our trip was only a short while, but I was hungry.” He let go of his embrace and pushed me into the car.

He's correct. We were only in the car for about twenty minutes, not half an hour. The car stopped in front of a large building that lined up neatly with its neighbors. It looks like an apartment.

The driver gave Theo my suitcase, so I took my backpack. He walked over to the door that was opened with a code. The lobby of the building was not big, but there was a person on guard who greeted us kindly.

He approached an elevator, so I followed him. Looking at the numbers he chose, I can't wait until we arrive at the destination floor. We're on the top floor of the building, so I'll be able to see the view at a height.

The apartment door opened with a code as well, then he opened the door and let me in first. My guess is correct. It's an apartment. The room is spacious but has been divided into several rooms, a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, and a relaxing sofa near the window.

I followed him walking closer to the door on the left. A room complete with a bed, nightstand, wardrobe, sideboard, also a study table, chair, and bookshelf on the side and top of the table. I was glad to see the big window in the room.

“Theo, this—” I turned to her, happy with that nice room. But I couldn't continue my sentence, because he kissed me.

After my surprise was gone, I wrapped my hand around her body and kissed her back. Her lips are as soft as I remember. The full swab unfortunately in my hair is still the same. The impact of his touch still spur my heart to beat rhythmically with his heart.

In just a few seconds, he had already distanced himself from me. I complained quietly, not wanting the kiss to end. I knew I was being childish, but it wasn't my fault we were separated for so long. It's natural that I miss my future husband, ah, girlfriend, ah, no. I don't know what our relationship is.

“Gue already said, I'm hungry.” He took my hand and took me out of the room.

We got out of the building, then walked for a few minutes. He turned right and there were so many shops on our right and left. I looked around me and remembered what shops we passed by. I could need it later.

“Did you also live in the building earlier? What number apartment?” ask me after the waiter leaves, opening the conversation.

“Gue lives in the same place as lo,” he replied, surprising me.

“What? We sleep one room?”

“Lo think I want to sleep together lo? I slept in the next room, but in the same apartment. It was much more frugal than lo and I lived in different apartments.”

“But, male and female ...”

“No ban here. All free. I just moved too. Previously, the cave lived alone. So you don't have an apartment with an annoying person, so I give up.”

An annoying person. He is the only champion in that. Where is there anyone in this world who is more annoying than him? But I chose to be quiet and not respond to it. The idea can too. Rather than adjusting to new people, living with them was a good solution.

He put a notebook and a pen in front of me, then for her too. I frowned looking at the new book that was still empty and the stationery that he put it on.

“We will stay together, so we need to have some deal. I'm soon busy with the thesis and need some quietness.”

“What is everything written for? I'm not gonna fuck around. All I will do in the apartment is eat, sleep, and learn.”

“Lo don't shower and dry hair with that noisy machine?” tanyakanya.

“I will only shampoo after I finish my activity, so I don't need a dryer. Theo, I'm not going to have a party or anything in that apartment. You take it easy.” I shifted the book and the pen towards him again.

“Write,” the command. “Gue need proof that you ever promise not to be noisy in our apartment.” He immediately wrote out what was in his book.

We're. I smiled hearing that word. We'll live together in a shared apartment, not her or me. Two years apart and holding back longs no longer feels painful. We will be together starting from today.

I don't know when, but I'll be in town for two years. Theo's a year old, so he'll be done in a year's time. Was he still here when I finished my last year?

“You don't seem happy to see me again?” my question is full of search.

“Lo want me to hug you and then jump on the spot because we meet again?” said sarcasm.

That picture sounds familiar. Who did he mean? I remember everyone I met over the last few days. I looked around us, looking for a figure I had already memorized. They've always been good at hiding, so I'm not surprised I didn't find them.

“You saw me meet Matt and Sonata?” I just don't believe it. “So, as long as we part ways, you are still watching me from afar?”
