I Choose to Separate

Episode 42

After finishing Mahendra's office hours, he approached Rianti to his desk.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah yes sir, but can we meet in front of the mini market sebrang sir.I do not want the office people gossiping about us" Rianti looked around worried someone saw them.

"Ok, I wait in front of the mini market" Actually Mahendra wants to protest why his meeting should be in front of the mini market.But better according to what Rianti said than arguing first.

"Hendra, do you want to take me on a date where afternoon gini?" Rianti looked around there was only an artificial lake surrounded by trees.And some brothers selling chicken noodles meatballs, fried foods and drinks.

"Yes come here baby" Andika took Rianti's hand and held her.

A warm feeling flowed throughout Rianti's body as Andika's hands clasped her hands tightly.They both walked down the edge of the lake with hands.Once Mahendra tidied Rianti's hair that was blown by the afternoon breeze that blew like a dime.

"But the place is so quiet?"

"If the holiday is crowded, especially Sunday night.Before it is also crowded, you see just aja tuh, people begin to arrive" Mahendra pointed to cars and motorcycles that are looking for a place to park.

"Do you know where this place is? Or maybe you used to date here?" Rianti looked at Mahendra with a seductive smile.

"I never drove my father to this place.Dad intended to build a property here but failed because the price of the land does not match."

"You believe me.I once fantasized about walking along the edge of this lake with you" Mahendra stopped and stood facing Rianti and held both hands.

"What time?" Rianti's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, and now it's not just a fantasy but a reality."

"Hen.. said Sania..kamu already like me since we sit in the High School...really yes?" Rianti asked with twinkling eyes.

"Yes right.even until the moment" Mahendra looked at Rianti with a loving gaze.

"Kok I don't know anyway.not that you used to be close to..who is the name anyway.the most famous girl used to be in school."

"Melinda"

"Ah yes Melinda"

"Indeed I was close to Melinda, only close but not dating, but in my heart there is still only you.Since the first I saw you I've been in love" With the heart of flowers Mahendra made a confession.

Rianti was happy that his joy was not only one-sided.

"Why don't you try to get close to me?" Rianti was getting curious.

"At that time, the bokap nyokap forbid his children to date, especially after I knew that graduating high school I had to go to college abroad.Yes I've just harbored my love."

"In America there must be many girls who like you, you are handsome, cool, smart, rich."

"I'm the type of man who, when in love, has trouble moving to another heart.'

"Hendra.I am very flattered and happy to be loved by you" Rianti smiled shyly and lowered his head.

Rianti then raised his head and looked at Mahendra.

"Hendra.actually I am too.not so ah.. Secret" Rianti covered his mouth with both hands.

"You have to say Rianti, you've made me curious."

"I've told you a secret, Hendra" Rianti laughed and ran away from Mahendra.

"Rianti.you cheated ya...ayo say it right now" Mahendra ran after Rianti.

Rianti continued running while laughing mocked Mahendra.

"View you yes, I'll catch you!" Mahendra hastened his run.

When he was about to reach Rianti, suddenly Rianti almost fell because he ran with high heels.Untung Mahendra quickly caught him.

Mahendra held onto Rianti's back and held him back from falling over.

Mahendra looked at Rianti's face full of worry.Rianti also looked at Mahendra's face, Mahendra looked so worried about himself.For a while they looked at each other in silence.

Mahendra advances his body closer to Rianti, his eyes still continue to stare at Rianti without blinking.Slowly his eyes down on Rianti's pink lips.Pelan but surely Mahendra's lips begin to approach.

Rianti slowly began to close his eyes waiting for Mahendra's lips to land on his lips, ready to wait for Mahendra's kiss.

"Tring-trings..tet-tet...!"

"Tring-trings..tet-tet...!"

Mahendra gasped, his body frozen.His first kiss for Rianti failed miserably.Mahendra distanced his face with a feeling of disappointment.

Likewise with Rianti, his position was all wrong.Wind to open his eyes but shame has ambushed him.Want it feels like he flew and vanished unceremoniously like smoke.

With Rianti forced to open his eyes, Andika looked at him with a tense face full of errors.

Because of the incredible shame Rianti cried and covered her face with both hands, then turned her back to Mahendra.

"I'm sorry, you don't have to be embarrassed" Mahendra stood in front of Rianti and held both shoulders.

"You are evil, I hate you" Rianti sulked crying.

"Sstt.honey-happy..here hug" Mahendra took Rianti into his arms and put Rianti's head on his chest.

"I'm so sorry sweet heart" Mahendra kissed the top of Rianti's head.

The scent of Mahendra's body made Rianti more calm, and comfortable.

"I once promised never to make the woman I like cry, but I made you cry on our first date" Mahendra took a deep breath and tightened his arms.

Convinced that Rianti had calmed down, Mahendra raised Rianti's face.

Rianti's eyes were swollen and his nose reddened.Mahendra felt anxious, wanting it to bite the nose.

"Honey.you're more beautiful when you're sulking" Mahendra laughed lightly to see Rianti puffing his cheeks.

"Damn...Hendra" Rianti hit Mahendra in the chest.

Mahendra caught both hands of Rianti and kissed her gently.

"Darling..how about we replay the scene?" Mahendra raised his eyebrows.

"No way, definitely shooting a movie" Rianti sulked again.

When Mahendra's phone rang again, Mahendra picked up and saw the name he was calling from his mother.

"Mahendra"

"Yes ma'am"

"Where are you?'

"Oh this.With dinner with a friend"

"Don't tell me you're having dinner with the widow"

"Ah no ma'am"

"Hendra, your grandmother and Elara have arrived at home.You should go home quickly because grandma does not want to see you."

"Good mom, Hendra try to go home quickly" Hendra put his phone back in his pants pocket after his mother finished calling.

"Tante Widya, huh Hen?" Ask Rianti.

"Yes, my mother told me to go home, my grandmother and my sister Elara came from the Netherlands."

"Yes, then we go home."

"It's eight o'clock baby, I still want to be with you."

"Hendra, your grandmother and sister's love are waiting."

"A further ten minutes, I want to see the stars with you" Mahendra hugged Rianti from behind.

"Look baby, the stars are so bright, my heart is bright because you are in my arms" Mahendra pointed up at the stars in the sky.

Rianti leaned his head on Mahendra's chest comfortably.Ikut enjoyed the view in the sky.
