I'm Not Him

132

Rania looked at Clara and Bondan alternately. Bondan approached and tried to explain.

"Darling, I can explain. It's not what it looks like" Bondan said gasping.

Rania was silent, she was trying to think clearly. But he could not think and just lowered his gaze towards the floor.

Bondan took his hand.

"Darling!" Bondan tried again.

Rania wiped her tears and picked up her paper bag. Then take Bondan's hand back.

"Let's go home, we'll have dinner at home, right?" rania told Bondan.

Clara was surprised by Rania's uncaring response. Bondan sighed deeply, she was relieved Rania believed him, but was a little worried because her lover looked as if he had no jealousy towards her.

"It'll be our second night, if you don't come bothering!" exciting Clara.

Rania stopped stepping, and so did Bondan. Rania turned around and looked at Clara who stuck her hands together at her waist. His gaze turned to Bondan's eyes.

"Is that true?" rania asked this time she didn't cry.

"Of course not true!" yell Vero from the outside.

Rania and Bondan look at him, as does Clara.

"Bondan was just drunk on the bet, he was raving about Rania, you wonder who Rania is. I deliberately didn't answer because I was a little drunk that day as well" Vero explained confidently.

Arumi rounded her eyes looking at Vero as she heard him. Vero turned his eyes away from Arumi's eyes.

Rania looked at Clara with a lift next to her eyebrows. Clara averted her eyes because she knew what Vero said was right.

"I'll forget this, you too. Let's go!" rania.

He pulls hard Bondan's hand which he complies with. Vero and Arumi looked at Clara cynically. Then turned his eyes to Rania who was acting strangely according to them.

They follow Rania and Bondan to the elevator. Rania takes Bondan's hand off as the elevator door closes and starts to descend.

Bondan swallows her saliva, and she is glad that Rania trusts her and ignores Clara. But she was a little surprised because Rania had no expression at all after taking her hand off.

Arriving near Vero's car, Arumi hugs Rania, leaving to make sure the wedding EO handles everything well. Rania smiled and waved at them. Then his facial expression changed as he looked at Bondan.

Bondan lowered his gaze because he felt wrong. Rania was about to step away from him and his car. Bondan pulled his hand.

"Where are you going?" ask Bondan.

Rania turned around and pushed him.

"You think after the incident I'd like to be driven home with you?"

Rania just vented her frustration. His breath held back emotions. Bondan was relieved after Rania let out her anger.

"He was like that because he got a signal from you. You must have made him fascinated by the sweetness of your attitude as all women. That's why he dared to do it" continued Rania, still with anger.

Bondan took his hand.

"So you're jealous! Finally.." said Bondan with a happy smile.

Rania is getting annoyed, she throws Bondan's hand away and walks straight away again. Bondan catches up with her, pulls Rania in the hand and forces her into the car, forcing her to wear a seatbelt. Of course Rania refused and was about to pull over again.

"Shut up, or I kiss!" Bondan, whose face is right in front of Rania, threatens her.

Rania fell silent, her face slightly retreated so as not to accept her kiss for being still upset.

Bondan runs around the car and quickly gets into the steering wheel, afraid Rania gets out of the car again. But he saw Rania still sitting and folding her hands on her chest and staring in the other direction with her upset face. Bondan smiled, still with her happy feelings because Rania was jealous.

Arriving at Bondan's house, after they only stayed along the way, Rania did not come out until Bondan opened the door for her. Bondan could not persuade him anymore, he was just very happy Rania who had been looking indifferent, so upset because of this incident. Bondan grabbed her hand, Rania came out while holding her paper bag.

"What do you buy for dinner?" ask Bondan while looking for the keys to his house.

"I make, not buy" replied Rania slowly.

Bondan looked down and looked at his face which was indeed high below him, he smiled.

"Create? Noahhh pantesan you are angry. It turns out that because I was afraid of food I didn't eat. Not because of jealousy" said Bondan fishing emotions again, while walking in.

Rania walked quickly to the kitchen, she put her bag on the table.

"Of course I'm jealous, she's prettier than me. You can't imagine how worried I would be for fear of being tempted by her" Rania said.

"I know, I can imagine" he took a deep breath.

"I also felt that way when I found out from your sister that Saga was aggressively approaching you. You can't imagine how scared I would be if fate didn't bring us together again. How else do I have to be?" lamented Bondan.

Rania regrets, she did not think Bondan was also jealous because of Saga.

"Vero says you always prepare the food. While I, eat alone accompanied by your photo that I can only look at" he complained again.

Rania felt guilty. A second later, he raised his face.

"Why do I feel guilty!" yells.

Rania held her hand on her waist.

"It should now be you who apologizes, for being hugged by Clara and.."

Bondan looks at her, Rania awkward and feeling clumsy. Bondan took his hand.

"In fact Clara is beautiful" said Bondan.

Rania takes off Bondan's hand and hits his arm.

"But, only my beautiful Rania is inside out" praised Bondan as he grabbed both hands.

Bondan hugs her, Rania hugs Bondan's waist.

"Thank you" said Bondan.

"To be jealous, but never doubt my feelings. I will never be able to turn away from you. Because I love you so much" Bondan said in Rania's arms.

"Darling!" rania.

"Hmm?" replied Bondan briefly, who was still comfortable in his arms.

"I'm hungry!" rania.

Bondan sighed, he let go of his embrace and lowered his head.

"Ok, we're eating now" Bondan relented.

Rania took the plate and spoon. Bondan prepares the glass and water. They ate on the top terrace, while looking at the cityscape.

"Feel you always good!" bondan.

"Oh yes, but I didn't really understand how to cook" replied Rania.

"Are you not taught by cooking?" ask Bondan.

"No, I learned to cook from Yudi. Although fierce, he was a very reliable chef. She is very good at cooking anything" said Rania, praising Yudi with an expression remembering the moment.

Bondan twirled the fork on the plate.

"Honestly, sometimes I envy Yudi. It looks like he's the one who's been with you the longest and knows you the most" Bondan said.

"No, you're the longest" Rania replied with a mouthful of food.

Bondan looked at him feeling like his speech just came out without thinking.

"I'm just his work partner, he never liked me, because of my reckless work" continued Rania.

Bondan was astonished, because what he heard from the conversation Arumi and Vero, they always questioned Yudi's feelings for Rania.

"Yesterday, when I was at Harvard, I talked to him so he could come home to help Arumi at the restaurant. He didn't even look at me until I told him we were finally going back to our family. Then on the phone, but this is a secret" said Rania while lowering her tone.

Bondan brought her ears closer as Rania pulled her clothes.

"He said he'd come back when he already had something he could give Dila. He'll surprise Dila"

Rania raised both of her eyebrows many times.

"I'm having a hard time keeping this a secret, so don't let it leak. Ok!" he made a circle by his fingers.

Bondan smiled, he felt wrong for being jealous of Yudi. While Rania was so innocent with everything that happened. His thinking was simple and always thought everything would be good in the end.

Bondan is getting lucky to be reunited with him.
