I Was In Love One Night

Chiko Fernando's

Fira is still dissolved in her sadness. But the world still has to go. Inevitably, she will enjoy her solitude dissolved in grief when her husband has to start working again.

As always, Batista has been working to monitor his company. Even though their families are still covered in grief. However, it could not stop the future preparation for their household.

"It's a shame that I said it first" Batista told his wife who was still lying weakly on the bed. Batista asked that his wife rest in bed, he did not want his wife more stressed and tired.

Cup

One kiss from Fira landed on the man's lips. His face still crossed his face. In fact, that morning Fira had not taken a bath, she was not eager to do anything. Batista still understands the condition of his wife at this time.

"Be careful, my! I'm sorry I didn't take you to the front door" said Fira softly.

"Yes dear. Restore your soul first! Just rest today. Do not say anything first," continued Batista full of understanding and attention.

"Yes." Yeah." Fira waved her hand at her husband while smiling wryly, until in the end the man disappeared from her sight.

Batista arrived in his room after thirty minutes ago. His work is very much. After entering a two-week period for improvement of his company's condition, Batista still took pains to raise the company's revenue.

Geck.. Geck... Tok

"Lake in." Batista was still focused on the file in front of him, allowing the presence of his secretary.

"Sir, do you want a company evaluation meeting today with managers?" ask Bagas from the front door.

"Oh yeah! Just announce today the meeting at 9 am," Batista explained.

Corporate evaluation is very important after entering the recovery period. Anything less for their company, especially to increase revenue according to their current target.

Bagas out of Batista's room. He gave notice through a special group of managers at the company.

Meeting this morning at 9. I hope all managers are present. Discussion for evaluation of company revenue as well as increased production.

The message was read by the entire manager. One Bagas job is done. Now he focuses on the process of scheduling the performance of Andara Group CEO.

*****

Fira gets a message from her old friend. His old friend, Chiko Fernando. His best friend when he was in school, Fira had harbored a sense in the man. Monkey love as a teenager in High School.

They were separated after entering college. Fira had forgotten about the man, although occasionally remembering their togetherness. Their relationship did not work because Fira was busy doing part-time work to meet her tuition.

Fir, I'm so sorry about your mother's passing. How's it going? I just got the news from our friend, Reni. He said he came to your house yesterday.

That one message was taken seriously by Fira. He was confused whether he should reply or not. But his loneliness prompted him to reply to the message.

Thanks Ko, my condition is not good. I can't forget my mother.

Fira sent the message to her old friend. I don't know why his mind goes back to their near-influence in High School.

Fira doesn't even know about Chiko, because Chiko disappeared after their graduation. Only, Fira often heard the story through Reni. But the news is still vague.

In just two minutes, Chiko returned Fira's message.

Do you want to meet me? We haven't talked in a long time. Maybe it could be as your painkiller right now, the pain of losing your mother!

Fira who received the message was disturbed. On the one hand, he was eager to meet Chiko. On the other hand, she still remembered her status of already being the wife of people.

Fira's fear of turning away from her husband appears. Signs of danger to their families.

He stared at the screen of his cell phone while lying limp. But it feels like he really wants to go out of the house, so he can forget the departure of his mother.

Fira subtly refused the invitation. He does not want Chiko to have another opinion, deliberately rejecting his desire to meet.

All righty! I understand your feelings. Maybe next time we can meet again. I miss Fir.

Fira was increasingly confused by the words embedded in the message. There's a "miss" word there. Makes him wonder more.

In the past, when their closeness was established, Fira was very much waiting for the moment, the moment where Chiko expressed her feelings for her. But until they graduate school, Chiko has no intention of making that statement.

Chiko and Fira are just trapped in a friendzone. The two share a common sense, but each other is unwilling to ruin their friendship. Reni even knew about it. Reni is the first person to push their relationship forward.

But baby, destiny says something else. Even after Chiko graduated from school, she had no intention of contacting Fira. Communication was cut off. Fira doesn't even know what caused it. But now Chiko says miss?

What he said made Fira think hard. Does Chiko not know that Fira's status has now become a wife of people? Did Reni never tell you that?

Fira kept thinking in her daydream. What should he say to reply to a message from his best friend. It is still a big question mark.

Geck... Geck..

The sound of the door knocking out Fira's daydream at that time.

"Lake in."

Fira was still staring at the screen of her phone. Every now and then he glanced at the door, who was coming into his room.

"Mrs, here's lunch." A maid presented a tray of food and drinks for Fira.

"Thank you mbak. Just put it there." Fira pointed the nightstand beside her bed to the maid. This time it is not Bi Inah who immediately delivers, because he is still busy with work in the kitchen.

"Excuse me madam." The maid left Fira's room.

His attention is now again staring at the phone screen.

I don't think I need to reply to this message!

Fira muttered alone, staring at the screen of her phone. Then he hung up the phone, put it on the nightstand.

He got up from the bed, took a tray of food. He ate slowly in the bed.

It feels bland, even though at first glance the food looks tempting. But because Fira did not taste food, it also became bland.

Again he remembered his mother, at times like this, the two of them usually had lunch together at the dinner table.

Hufttt

Fira let out a rough breath. His feelings are still riled up, still clear impregnated the sudden departure of his mother.

It was so hard to take that departure. He's not willing to be left out. Now her status is the same as her husband, has become a orphaned child.

"If you're still here, waiting for my son's presence. I'm sure you'll be happier. Surely he often laughs with his grandson," said Fira sobbing. His cheeks had now been wet because of the clear droplets of his eye sieve that continued to flow.

Fira just kept chewing her food. Until the food is left. Then he took a sip of mineral water from the top of the tray.

When sad like this, it feels like he has a friend to relieve his sadness. His mind raged, again thinking about Chiko who was suddenly present in his life at this time.

Is Chiko's presence the answer? Is he the one my mother sent as my painkiller?
