It's like saying "I Miss You"
The sadness was gone because of Him
Tone returned at the spot after touring for 15 minutes to clear his emotions. He does not want to mix personal emotions into his work. Before entering the cafe, he took a quick glance to look at the situation. Hopefully, Dewanto has not come and he can freely choose the location of the seat. But really poor. The man had even waved his hand from inside the cafe. Implies that Nada immediately enter the cafe. With a lazy step, Nada opened the main door and found Dewanto already sitting sweetly in a seat a little far from the window.
“Please sit. What do you want to order?” bargain Dewanto casually while holding financial statements made by the financial team that Nada leads.
Nada was just silent then sat opposite Dewanto. Wondering what the Director wanted to ask. Nada glanced at Dewanto's current appearance. If all this time he had always met the 33-year-old man with a formal appearance and wearing a tie, now Nada saw Dewanto wearing a long-sleeved plain shirt with navy jeans. Although it looks relaxed but still seems casual.
“Did you just cry?”
That question disperse the reverie of Nada who was admiring Dewanto's current casual appearance. Nervous? Sure oes. The tone was immediately wrong with taking a glass of drink owned by Dewanto. Nada has not ordered any drinks.
Dewanto tried to prevent that from happening, but Nada still unconsciously spent the drink owned by Dewanto. “You're so thirsty? Hows it? My drink is good?”
Tone is aware of what he has done. In a hurry, he shut his mouth. I'm sorry, sir, I'll change the drink.”
Nada immediately ran to order the same drink as Dewanto's order and also he ordered for himself. He did not even dare to look at the young Director's face. How shameful.how could he be complacent with the appearance of Dewanto to forget about the circumstances around. He no longer knows how to deal with Dewanto after this.
While Dewanto could barely hold back his laughter due to Nada's behavior. Why did the girl fail to focus? Did crying make her concentration break? He tried not to care about what had happened, but he could no longer hold back his laughter.
Moments later Nada returned with two drinks. He immediately gave a replacement drink to Dewanto. “This, Sir. Sorry it wasn't on purpose.”
Dewanto was no longer able to hold back his laughter. He laughed when the drink was put Tone on the table. The girl looked surprised by this change in attitude of the young Director before her.
“Sorry, sorry. I've been holding him back but I can't. Why did you get to that? What were you thinking? You daydreaming?” Tanya Dewanto who no longer shows the cool side that had made Nada speechless.
Tone began to get annoyed with Dewanto's laughter. This time he drank his own. I don't want to be a laughingstock a second time. “What do you want to ask about financial statements this month?”
“Oh, that's yes. No, it's. After looking around, I finally found the answer. Sorry yes, made you come here.” Dewanto replied that it looked relaxed because in fact it was just an alibi to be able to meet Nada. Actually he was curious about what made Nada cry.
“if there is nothing to ask, can I go?” Tanya Nada while preparing to leave Dewanto.
“Wait !!” dewanto tried to prevent. He did not want to miss the rare opportunity to get closer to Nada. “My sister will be returning to Indonesia in a few months. His birthday is in a few days, I need help finding a gift. Can you help me?”
Dewanto slammed the financial statements he had been holding. “you mocked me? How can I have a boyfriend if every day I only deal with laptops and stocks? Even the clients who joined me were mostly men.”
Tone laughed off hearing the chattering of Dewanto. On one hand he was surprised to see the true nature of Dewanto, but on the other hand he actually laughed because they were both similar. Both “mad work”.
“Stop laughing at me !! What are you doing on a Sunday like this? Don't you have a girlfriend? Why not go on a date?”
This time it's Nada's turn. “Only who wants the same person who every day is just busy with debit credit and counting other people's money? you fight?”
Dewanto held back his laughter. He had to give in to face Nada who had started to be stubborn. “All right, all right. we're balanced. So, do you want to help me find a gift for my sister?”
Tone was silent but still looked into Dewanto's eyes. That guy had no bad intentions. It seems he was also honest about the gift for his sister. There was no other activity after this either. It would be better if he wasn't alone. At least for today.
******
It's late at night. Dewanto and Nada had just finished touring the mall. Now the two are enjoying dinner at a foodcourt in the mall. Both are not only shopping for gifts but also their individual needs. Dewanto carried a tray containing the food they ordered. It is not very suitable for Dewanto to carry a tray with casual clothes like today.
“Isn't it okay you came home this late?”
“It's okay. I'm calling my roommate not to wait for me to come home. Pity if he has to wait for me.” said Nada while typing a short message for Maria on her phone. He did not want to let his friend wait.
“Friends kos? You don't live with your parents?”
The tone stopped his typing activity. He did not want others to know about the reason for staying at the boarding house. “There are several reasons that made me choose to stay at kos.” replied Nada again continue sending messages. “Your sister studied abroad?”
Dewanto devoured a burger the size of his fist. He did not even feel he had to keep the image or anything in front of Nada. “No. She is with her husband who works abroad. In a few months her husband's contract will run out, so she will return to Indonesia.” explained Dewanto who then devoured the rest of the burger in one meal. It looks like he's very hungry. “Quick spend ! I'll take you home. I don't want to get in trouble with your roommate for making you home late at night.”
Tone immediately rushed to finish the food he ordered. Somehow he felt there was something strange about Dewanto's story. But I don't know what it is? Then Nada chose to ignore the curiosity. He'd better get home soon or Maria's gonna nag him all night.
