It's like saying "I Miss You"

Last chance

“Yesterday I had a short tour to survey the location of a good pre-wedding photo. Some colleagues suggest several places of recommendation. So, I went there for a survey. I took some good photos. I need your opinion because later we will be pre-wedding photos there.” said Dewanto while showing the results of photos after hunting the location.

Nada put the novel book he read and set his eyes on Dewanto's phone to see the photos. Most of them are garden and garden. Somehow it does not interest Nada or indeed he does not like the situation. The tone pointed to one of the locations that he thought was better among the others. “This looks good. Photos here only.”

Dewanto looked back at the selected photo spot. It seems like women's tastes are better. Dewanto's decision to ask for Nada's opinion was indeed the best. After finishing dinner in Nada's boarding room, the two soon get busy with each other's pleasures. Nada read the novel and Dewanto took care of several clients who were still in contact even outside working hours.

“Honey, I called this afternoon. He wants us to come to his subscription boutique tomorrow for a suit fitting. It looks like it will be made a special shirt according to our size.” said Dewanto while leaning his back on the sofa.

“We're getting married next month, right? Is there enough time to make clothes? Why not just rent it? The shirt will only be worn for a few hours. Is it not too expensive to make your own clothes?”

Dewanto stroked the straight hair of the freely strung Tone. “You don't have to worry. I spoke to the owner of the boutique. He said they could finish the shirt for us in two weeks. Cost problem no need to worry.”

Nada forced a smile on Dewanto. It is not about the cost or also not about the time span of making clothes. Something was breaking his heart. An uncomfortable feeling that just pops up.

“Tomorrow we find wedding ring, yuk.” Dewanto changed his sitting position facing Nada who still looked confused. “Tomorrow home from work I pick up. We'll look in some places. Choose the one you like the most.”

Tone nodded slowly. The discomfort he still felt. But for now he chose to ignore that taste. Maybe as time goes by he will know what makes him uncomfortable. He returned to reading the novel and Dewanto accompanied him.

Tone put the spoon and fork well on the table. He was forced to eat in a hurry because he woke up late. Somehow Maria did not stop by the boarding house and went straight to work. He immediately got up from the dining table and took some files that he had done yesterday even if only a little. He put a little lip cream on his lips so as not to look pale.

Nada opened the door of her room and was surprised by someone who was already standing in front of the room door. Waiting for the owner to come out of the room. Tone loses its moment to breathe. He had to swallow so that his throat did not feel dry. Why meet when he has to rush to the office?

“What are you doing here? How do you know my cost? Who are you following again?” said Nada began to get upset if it had to be followed like this. Should this man be this kind of stalker? Tone glanced at his watch. He had to hurry or he had to take a sudden leave.

“You're in a hurry, right? how about getting in my car?” say Pandu offers a ride to Nada who hastily.

“I can also use my own car. Sorry I have to leave now.” said Nada while rushing to leave Pandu.

With a swift Pandu prevent by pulling the hand Tone. Tone's body as if restrained and spinning staring at Pandu. Their eyes looked at each other for a glance. Pandu's hand grip is still the same as when he used to hold the hand of Nada when they fought. Feels strong and sturdy.

“Leave Dewanto.” said Pandu with a confident gaze. He felt unsettled as he watched Dewanto look over the wedding ring picture. His premonition said that their marriage would be imminent in the near future.

Tone unmoving. “You're crazy, huh? What right do you have to forbid me to be with Dewanto? Listen, yeah. You already have a life of your own, I will also make my own life with Dewanto. So, you should no longer need to interfere in the affairs of others.”

Pandu. What he had to do so that Nada would listen to him even once. “Then, I have one request. Consider it my last request. After that I promise I won't show up in front of you again.”

Tone was silent for a moment. What negotiation does Pandu want from him? Why does he feel like a bad person? “let's just say.”

“Guide me all day. Think of us as friends. No more and no less.” said Pandu with a clear eye. Isn't that the most powerful weapon to thwart the determination of the heart of Nada?

Tone clenched both of his hands. He took a cell phone and called a number. It only takes a few seconds for the phone to connect. “Today I took a sudden leave. Please handle today's work. The rest I do tomorrow.”

Pandu smiled at the news that had not been spoken by Nada.
