Love Does Not Come Too Late

box of tissue

Raymond repeatedly contacted Lea, but only a dial tone and an operator named Veronica always answered his call.

"It's just the woman, not the quick one!," exasperated Raymond while once again trying to repeat the call for the umpteenth time.

Hot air in the city of Surabaya this afternoon, feels burning skin and raise his emotions

It's been over an hour ago, he's been in front of the Religious Court building ever since Lea told me he was done.

He could have gone inside and looked for his employee, but this place also left a very bad memory for him.

The process of separation with Dea, William's mother is still imprinted and feels very painful.

Raymond squinted at the figure of a woman very similar to his employee in the parking area of the motorbike, arguing with a man.

Slowly he approached the two different pairs to be sure.

When the woman fell down from a stumble, she actually did not intend to get close.

But because the man said in a loud and high tone when the woman was still grimacing in pain, the soul protecting Raymond also appeared spontaneously he pulled the woman's hand to stand.

"You!, why are you here?!" erik told Raymond.

Raymond began to notice the face of the woman he had been helping.

Her partially covered face made her unable to recognize Lea immediately.

The days in Lea's office usually tie her long hair to be practical, but this afternoon it looks a little different her hair is allowed to unravel over her back.

If you know this strange husband and wife, I better not howl. Raymond's mind was upset.

"Ah, thank you sir. Sorry for not being able to leave on time," Lea grimaced as she cleaned her dirty knees.

"Where are you going?" erik asked to know.

"To his hometown, work affairs," said Raymond calmly.

"You want to go there and you don't tell me?, you're not afraid to see Beni again?" erik with emotion.

"We really want to meet Mr. Beni, he's our client. What's the matter?, Lea's former secretary too, right?" obviously Raymond was still in a relaxed fashion.

"Leaa?, what do I not know!" Erik jerked Lea's hand angrily.

"Weeii ... weeii relax bang, the fight can be postponed first?. We have to leave soon, it's noon."

"Son, you don't go to Lea!" Erik ignored Raymond's words.

"So this is work."

"Fuck your job!"

Raymond squinted, although not intended for him, but the words Erik said seemed to insult his work.

"Are you leaving or not Lea?" raymond said with annoyance. He retaliated against Erik's treatment, which seemed to ignore him.

"I have to leave now brother, let it not be too late." Lea jerked Erik's hand until it came off.

"Oww, don't you want to part with me because you want to go back with Mr Beni?"

"SISTER!" hardik Lea warned. It's not a matter of the charges, but there are other ears that are currently listening.

Lea immediately walked away, even leaving Raymond far behind.

Lea was afraid that if Erik would open up his past with Pak Beni before his superiors, he could no longer afford to have to accept the skewed accusations from his boss's spicy mouth.

"Wait!, you stay there I know where I parked?" pickle Raymond as he chases Lea.

Lea was only speechless with a breath of breath, she followed Raymond's long steps towards his big black car.

"I'm a little bit speeding yeah let's not go last night, put your seat belt on" said Raymond. Lea complied and remained silent until the car mingled on the road with another vehicle.

There was no conversation between the two, the atmosphere in the car was only filled with the sound of radio broadcasters reading out the song requests of the listeners.

Lea's tears began to trickle as the chatter of singer Rossa titled I'm not for you began to flow

You wanted me before

Although there was never an answer

Didn't mean you left me

as the song entered its peak, Lea's cry turned into a loud whimper.

Don't you remember me anymore

I'm not for you

Even if I ask for your heart

Never leave him to me

"One box of tissue costs ten thousand, I cut it off in your paycheck next month" Raymond said as he glanced at his nearly empty box of kisses

"Sorry," srrooott ... Raymond glanced in disdain at Lea.

Before entering the freeway, Raymond turned his wheel into the parking lot of the famous fried chicken restaurant.

"Hurry down, let's have lunch first. I don't want you to pass out on the road running out of steam because it's crying all the time." Without waiting for Lea, Raymond walked into the restaurant.

"I've ordered a super spicy chili for you, let you spend your snot here not in my car."

After finishing the meal, Lea headed to the toilet to clean her face while Raymond headed for the cashier to finish the payment.

Lea stared at the reflection of her face in the mirror, looking haggard and puffy.

She did not expect Erik to appear at the hearing this morning, as usual her husband insisted that they not be separated.

It was not enough to get there, when Erik was coming home again forced him to come home together.

As he refuses, remembering that there was a promise with Raymond, Erik grows increasingly angry and pulls his hand half-dragging until he stumbles.

That's when the boss came and helped him, embarrassed it felt like twice Raymond saw the depravity of his household even he to tears in his car.

Aaarrgghhh .. with an anxious Lea wet his face, regretting his too late folly of hearing the song played.

By the time Lea got in the car, Raymond was already sitting sweetly behind the wheel.

Seen on the dashboard of the car, there is already a box of tissue that is still new.

"It's eating, let your heart be colder." Raymond offered me a cup of chocolate-flavored ice cream.

Lea was still dumbstruck by the ice cream in Raymond's hand, "Hurry up!, can't you see my hands are freezing?" murmur Raymond.

"Thank you" Lea's great-grandchild

Slowly and timidly Lea began to feed the scoop of ice cream into her mouth.

It is true that chocolate and ice cream are a beautiful blend for a frustrated heart like him now.

"I bought that tissue to clean your mouth from ice cream, not to wipe your tears." Raymond picked up a piece of tissue and gave it to Lea with one hand still holding the wheel.

Lea who was still busy with the ice cream melts in her hands did not pay much attention to the tissue Raymond was thrusting at her, with a slight anxiety Raymond rubbed Lea's lips with the tissue he was holding.

A second later they both came to a realization of the situation, still with Raymond's hand holding a tissue on Lea's lips.
