No words came out of our lips when we entered the hotel restaurant. With my hand still clenching his arm, he led me in.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by an officer holding a large book to record the guests. Then Mr. Raka mentioned his name, then we were directed to the table that had been ordered by Thalia with a position slightly to the corner, close to the window.

The restaurant located on the 1st floor of the hotel has a casual dining concept with a modern classic design interior equipped with a combination of wood and natural stone that makes the restaurant feel warm and comfortable.  

Restaurant decoration is dominated by gold and white. Even with the cutlery available, the majority is dominated by white. All combined with beautiful, modern and elegant.

Before long, we arrived at the table that Thalia had ordered. It looks like Thalia who is wearing a navy-colored mini dress is waving her hand at us. Mr. Raka replied to his wish with his right hand, while his left hand was still attached to me.

I noticed a glimpse of the woman opposite me. She is beautiful. Maybe more beautiful than me. Ah, it's worth Leo to choose it.

Our skin is just as white. Our hair is the same length, It's just that it's blonde, it looks like Barbie, whereas I'm loyal to the original color of my hair. He has a round eye shape with pliable eyelashes that frame his eyes. And at this moment, his eyes were brown. He used a soft lense.

His high posture slim like a model became his advantage. She was so beautiful, I was so insecure in front of her. It's not the fault of this woman that Leo is attracted to her.

Upon arrival at the table, Thalia greeted us with her friendly smile. As he stretched out his hand to shake Mr. Raka's hand, I relaxed my grip so that Mr. Raka would move more freely.

But instead of releasing my hand, Mr. Raka instead grasped my hand tighter. I'm a little surprised. Then he turned to me and said "it's okay, there's me" without a sound, then smiled. Oh my God, apparently he knows I'm in an acute state of inferiority.

Thalia smiled at my reaction. Unlike the man next to him, he looked at Mr. Raka cynically. Strange, I should have been, not him!

Thalia and Raka shook hands, I did the same thing while saying my name is padanha. After that Mr. Raka turned his gaze to the right of Thalia. He shook Leo's hand.

There's a strange sight here. I don't know what exactly, but Mr. Raka even more tightened his grip on me. Make Leo jealous? I don't know.

When it was my turn, Mr. Raka let go of his grasp. I shook Leo's hand with the whole thing. Not wanting to linger, I immediately let go of our hands without caring about him who was still looking at me. Then we sat across from them.

🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀

"Ka, how are you? How many years haven't we met?" Sapa Thalia across the table broke the silence.

"Well, I'm in Jakarta now. Maybe we haven't seen each other for 4 years?"

"Hemm, yes. Time passes by quickly ..." Thalia.

"... Is this a candidate? When's next?" Thalia asked back while showing off her neat rows of teeth.

"Don't know yet. It depends on when he is ready" replied Mr. Raka while looking at me, and stroking my right hand fingers that are currently being held by him with a naughty smile that can stab my heart.

Duh Gusti, geez, Mr. Raka turned out to be an acting whiz. He really played his role. I just made a baper like this.

"Neither long, Ka. The old date was not good. Eventually, ntar was even taken by people .." said Thalia while watching me who was blushing embarrassed.

"Well, baby?" she continued while eating the man who had just officially become her husband today.

Leo smiled stiffly. He looked at me full of probes, then called the waiter to order the food menu. Ah let him do what, I don't care. Suddenly the worms in my stomach screamed and thrashed. Thankfully, only I heard it.

I'm very hungry now, but I'm lazy to choose the food on the menu. Too many choices made my head woozy. Finally I asked Mr. Raka to choose a menu for me. We ordered the same menu. The only difference is the drink. Mr. Raka chose orange juice while I was melon juice.

"Where did you meet?" suddenly Leo asked us while waiting for the order to arrive. Huh basic, kepo.

"In my office, Bro. Luna has been my secretary for many years. He still has a girlfriend now. Just like her boyfriend." Said Mr. Raka without pause. I saw Leo start to misbehave.

"We're here too because we had a meeting with a client here this morning. Because Luna understands very well with my schedule and work affairs, yes I just take it with me. Besides Luna said she never met her boyfriend again, because her boyfriend was also out of town. So he can take care of my work as well," continued Mr. Raka.

The male jaws across the table stiffened instantly, his hands clenched, as though Leo was getting hooked. I can only duck. I'm afraid anything will happen.

Mr. Raka seemed to notice the difference in emotions that Leo displayed, but he was not at all provoked. Our hands are still cluttered. Mr. Raka has not changed his position from me.

"So, you've got a girlfriend but you're still going with other people, right? And your boyfriend doesn't know?" leo's question surprised me.

"Darling, ssshh, watch your talk, don't be rich like the people you just met" Thalia whispered next to Leo.

"Huh, just got to know me? I've known him for a long time. Luna was a good woman who never fought me, I could not believe her words .." Her sentence was interrupted when Thalia suddenly got up from her chair, then pulled Leo's arm forcefully.

"Lo know, Ka?" he looked at Mr. Raka questioningly, his breath hunting. The hospitality that was seen changed with anger. Then he sighed.

"Luna, I'm sorry, I don't know what kind of woman she's dating behind me. But I know this is not your fault, but my husband's. I'm sorry ..."

"We say goodbye first. You guys just continue eating it. Sorry again for the inconvenience. Raka, just keep in touch"

Then he walked past us. I can catch a guilty look in Leo's eyes. Either he feels guilty to me or to his wife. I'm still silent. But I'm relieved. I don't have to do anything. Truth reveals itself.

🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀

"Are you okay, Lun?" Mr. Raka shifted his body until there was only one inch left of his distance from me. Mr. Raka's voice sounded worried.

Suddenly I hugged him. I buried my face in the chest of his field. It seems like I couldn't help but cry, but I tried to hold it. It was so tight in this chest that it felt like it wanted to explode. But now I am relieved. Dada Pak Raka is the most comfortable place for me right now.

"Already, Lun, already. I was right here. Don't cry anymore" Her words were like a very melodious song. He wiped my tears with his handkerchief. Wearing hair.

"Thank you, sir. My sorry"

"Already, ssshhh"

"Lun, eat yuk. The food came." His word. Then I broke away from the most comfortable place.

We ate in silence. Like deja vu, I experienced it again with Mr. Raka. Eat in silence, like this afternoon.

After finishing our dinner, Mr. Raka called the waiter to pay for all the dishes including the ones that Thalia and Leo had ordered. But Leo paid for it first. Mr. Raka just gave a tip to the waiter.

"You want to go back to the room, Lun? You seem really tired. You need to rest, because tomorrow we go home" said Mr. Raka after checking his salary.

"Yes, sir" I replied.

"Yes, yuk!" Take her while extending her hand to me.

'Oh Allah, why is Mr Raka so good the same?'

I received a helping hand, then we walked towards the fifth floor using the elevator. My body feels so tired, like running away without stopping. I want to immediately lay myself in the room.

Arriving on the fifth floor, I saw Leo's figure there. He stood alone in front of the large aquarium. Then he came up to me shortly after seeing us get out of the elevator.

"Can you talk to me, Lun?" askinya.

"There's nothing more to talk about between us. We're nobody anymore." I answered with a firm tone. I don't want her to know I just cried for her again.

"So soon, Lun, please ...?"

My weakness is that I cannot easily refuse someone's request. But this time I don't want to deal with him any longer. I'm really tired. I want to break myself.

Then without a fuss, Leo pulled me into his arms.

Bugggwm.

"She said there's nothing to talk about anymore, man. Don't force him!"
