JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

HANDSOME IS EMPTY

Arriving at his office, Evan was stunned by the luxurious design room. Evan traced it with an astonished look. He had never obtained such a luxurious work space.

(Evan Pratama workspace)

Evan walked up to the glass window and saw the view off from up there. He was standing at the end of a glass window with a pretty terrible view, where everything seemed small in front of him at this moment because of the height he was standing at now, he was standing from the 20th floor of the building.

Richard walked up to him and patted his shoulder softly. Evan was shocked and looked at him. Richard looked over with a smile staring at him.

"Hows it? Do you like this room? Daddy has a special design for you. Let you work here" said Richard.

"This is more than enough, Dad. But what if I'm not as good as Daddy thinks. Later, Daddy will be disappointed," said Evan.

"At least, you want to try. And everyone here is ready to teach you. So you don't have to worry. Daddy will be with you too" Richard said, answering Evan's concerns. Evan smiled, he could have calmed down a bit to hear Richard's explanation just now.

On the other side. Aluna and her two friends were on campus. Aluna is beautiful, much in the appraisal by men. Especially the young man named Morris. He continued to approach Aluna, despite receiving constant rejection from Aluna. Aluna always reasoned, that she had a husband and she did not want to cheat. But Morris still did not give up. Because he knows Aluna's son is a conglomerate.

"Girlin!" call him.

Making Aluna's steps stop, she turned to the source of the voice. Morris was running towards him. Aluna showed an unpleasant expression.

"I want to talk, Lun!"

Morris is indeed an Indonesian student who also studied at the same University as Aluna. He was in class with Dea. He often saw Aluna with Dea, so therefore he was familiar with Aluna. Dea tells Morris that Aluna is the son of Richard Brahmin. So that's why he's persistent after Aluna.

"I know you're divorced, right? So you have no reason to refuse me anymore" Morris said.

"I refuse you, because I don't like you. So stop bothering me. I'm not divorced yet" said Aluna who sounded like she was expressing her hope, the hope of being with Evan again. Dea and Silvi just laughed at hearing her, despite trying to hide them.

"Tuh, right. Your friends just don't believe it" said Morris who heard Dea and Silvi's laughter. Aluna widened her eyes at Dea and Silvi. They immediately stopped laughing.

"Udah! I don't like you. So get out of the way" said Aluna rudely as she left Morris. Morris looked at Aluna's departure.

Evan began to seriously learn about the business and the company. Evan who is smart makes him easy to teach. Hans looks like Aluna's father's accomplices are quite satisfied with Evan's work.

"This kid is quick to learn, he's also persistent and hardworking. It's a shame he's got to divorce Mr. Richard's son. Though he was quite worthy with Mr. Richard's son. He's the right man for Richard's royal business, sir" Hans told his secretary.

"The name is also young marriage, sir. What else was that their child also just died, maybe a lot of pressure," said the secretary and answered a nod agreed by Mr. Hans.

After work Evan came home for a while and went to Brian's. Before leaving Evan permits with his mother.

"The boy didn't have a grudge like that... Though Brian had harmed him, but he was even familiar with Brian... " Murm his mother.

"That's the name of a sincere person, Mih. Which is it, yes. No need to talk about it anymore. Evan is a lot to like. Therefore, although indifferent, he has a lot of cement" said Tama who happened to hear the words of his mother.

"Mommy's just afraid Brian has a bad influence on Evan. You know what Brian's life is like" his mother said worriedly.

"No, Mih. It's just a rumor. He has a club, but he is not necessarily a bad person" said Tama.

"Evan anyways go there!" his mother disliked it.

***

At the club, Evan did come early on purpose. He had no intention of seeing a striptease dancer or the excitement of the DJs. But because he wants to see Brian. Brian is indeed if the night is often there, except when he is with Alice. Then he would never want to take Alice there.

"Hey!" Sapa Brian while doing greetings ala young man and welcomed Evan.

"Udah rame's. Go somewhere else, yuk!" said Evan.

"To the cafe next door. They are open 24 hours" said Anto.

The three of them left there. When they got there, they ordered coffee.

"How are you doing this afternoon?!" ask Brian.

"O, yes. We want to be a young CEO, yes!" anto Goda.

"No, I'm an employee there," said Evan.

"But Mr. Richard prepared you to be his replacement. Now you're his deputy. Just one more level to be the chairman," said Anto while glancing at Brian, who was greeted with laughter by Brian.

"Yes. Aluna now live there. Do you not lo?! Now he can cook, he can do it all alone. I think he was preparing himself for you, deh," said Brian who made Evan speechless. He was still lazy to discuss Aluna.

"Don't talk about him. Not good at the atmosphere!" said Evan lazily.

"Lo thinks it's a horror story" Anto said, chuckling with Brian. They continue to tease Evan by discussing Aluna. And Evan can only be silent which makes Anto and Brian laugh more.

At 11pm Evan went home. The house looks dark and quiet. A sign that its inhabitants are asleep. Evan tries to knock several times, until Minah wakes up and opens the door.

"Mak hasn't slept?!" ask Evan.

"Yet. Just washed the dishes. There was a family of girls who had been here, who delivered your goods, his sweet black people... " Say Minah demonstrate. Makes Evan laugh.

"Ooo... Dance?!" guess Evan.

"Yes. He came here just like his mother. Is her mom familiar with Mami Evan?!" minah.

"They're menenan, Ma'am. Why are they here?!" ask Evan.

"It's less clear, too, but if it's not wrong, he wants to open his cake shop he said this week. She took Minah too!" say it medok.

"Ngapain ngundang came here directly?! What phone WA can also," said Evan.

"There is a possibility, perhaps" seduced Minah.

"What wish?!" evan did not understand.

"Niatan mate Evan," said Minah teasingly.

"Abuehhh ... What the hell! Don't think about it now" said Evan who immediately left.

" Hmmmh... The risk of having a cute face is called. Ngganggur dikit directly in samber," muttered Minah while closing the door.

SERIATE...
