Love In Butterfly Needles

Last day of work

During lunch in the canteen, Aurel continued to observe Adrian.

The man remained cold, ignoring her.

Adrian seems to have no appetite for food, he was lazy to hear that Aurel now actually works one office with his different divisions.

" Didn't he say he was in the finance division, don't he replace Dena" Adrian said in his heart.

Adrian did not continue his meal, he left the cafeteria and returned to his study on the 3rd floor.

Aurel still keeps staring at Adrian, he misses the man he betrayed 4 years ago.

****

The phone rang that afternoon when Dena finished her lunch at home.

Phone call from Adrian.

" Hello honey, what are you doing?", the warm voice of the man on the other end of the phone greeted Dena.

" I'm just done with my lunch, how about you? Is it still in the cafeteria?".

" No, I've finished my lunch and now I'm back in the room because I have so much work to do", Adrian lied on his grounds.

It is also impossible that he said he did not appetite this lunch because of meeting again with his former lover .

" Oh yeah baby, how about tomorrow you go to the office to hand over your job?", Adrian tried to extract information from his wife.

" Yes, Puji called me today that there was a new employee who replaced me" said Dena.

" Oh yeah, who?", again Adrian wants to make sure that the woman is Aurel.

" I don't know, I don't know either because he's not an employee in our office. HRD deliberately opened a job vacancy for that".

" Thank you she's a girl, but I forgot to ask her name".

" Hmmm. Yes, you rest at home. Wait for me to get home from work".

" Miss u dear..."

" Miss u too, be careful when she gets home".

Phone's on the lid.

With no activity what the afternoon, he will certainly feel bored if every day does not work and only at home as Adrian wants.

Especially if later he has occupied his new home, surely he will be very lonely.

No Mom and Dad, no Laras and no sister .

That afternoon she spent her time just sleeping while waiting for her husband to come home from the office.

And the night was like the night before in Bali, he and Adrian almost never missed time to make love.

" You're making me addicted to wanting to enjoy your body" Adrian said every night.

The next day, they went to the office together. Maybe this will be Dena's last day at work, today she will hand over the job with a new employee who replaces her.

Adrian is worried that the new employee is Aurel, and he will talk to Dena if he finds out that Dena is his wife.

" Dear, you don't talk to people you just met. Just talk if it's about work", Adrian told Dena before they split up on the 3rd floor of Adrian's room.

Dena nodded, although she did not understand why Adrian arrived to message like that.

" Dena.

The two friends hugged each other.

" I miss too, how are you doing Praise?'.

" Hahaha, good news and still single".

" I should have asked you how you were doing and how was your first night?", Praise chuckled at her friend's teasing.

" Huuss.morning you asked me about my first night. All went well Puji, our honey moon in Bali as I expected".

" Oh yes I have by by for you", Dena gave a paper bag filled by the one she brought from Bali yesterday.

" Uuhhh.. Thank you Dena is beautiful".

" You must be very happy to be married by Adrian. How, did my idol not disappoint you in bed?", Praise as curious as Laras.

" Hahaha, of course not. Almost every night we do it".

" What??? every night??"

" Ckckckck .. It's really amazing for you", Praise me as if he understands the bed. Married not yet.

" Oh yeah, where's the employee who replaced me?", Dena was watching around for no new faces she saw.

" Not yet, at least soon".

" Dena, it looks like I don't like it. His name is Aurel, but I think he is a hostile person" Puji said.

" Don't judge a person at the beginning if you don't know him yet, wasn't it the first time I worked here I was also a hostile person. I'm a cold, introverted person who often ignores you".

" But the proof is that we can now be friends" Dena recalls how their friendship began.

" No Dena, even though you're closed and quiet but I can read you're a good girl if you're comfortable with someone"

" That's why I approached you and tried to be your best friend, but if Aurel I think he's got a sneaky nature".

" I don't know, I can see from the way he talks and the look in his eyes", Praise speaks as if he is a fortune teller who can read the character of others.

" Praise me, how many times I've told you not to be so bad about other people".

" It's easy that it's not true and it's just my feeling, I'm so sick of me if I have to get a partner like that".

They were already sitting in their seats when Aurel entered the room.

" Good morning", Aurel greeted Dena who was sitting down.

" Morning..You're the new employee who replaced me, aren't you?", Dena asked.

" Dena".

They get acquainted with each other, then Dena starts to explain some of the duties and responsibilities in that position.

Some files he has submitted to Aurel for forwarding.

" If you don't understand something later, you can ask Praise", Dena pointed to Praji sitting next to her.

" I've got experience in this field, so I don't think I'll ask much" Aurel replied with a mummy .

" Ciihh, just look later if you need anything I won't help you with. How arrogant you are, just working", Praise the one who heard Aurel's words, swearing in the heart".

Dena was silent and did not respond to Aurel's words.

" Hmm, it's appropriate that Praise doesn't like this woman", inner Dena.

" Oh yeah Dena, why did you quit your job. Isn't this a well-known company, a lot of people want to work here", Aurel asked Dena.

" It's okay, I just want to rest at home" Dena answered briefly because she remembered Adrian's message this morning not to talk to people she just knew.

" Of course Dena quit her job, she just got married. And he was married by the most handsome man in the Company".

" Sure, Dena is beautiful, she is also good. It is fitting that Adrian chose her to be made a wife", Praji said in a cynical tone to Aurel because he wanted to confirm that Dena is beautiful and good unlike Aurel .

Dena turned her head towards Puji, hinting her to be quiet.

Aurel who heard Adrian's name called, suddenly his face changed. Instantly he thought,

" Is Dena Adrian's wife?".

Aurel pretends not to know Adrian, he intends to seek information in silence.

At lunchtime, Dena invites Aurel to eat with them in the cafeteria despite Puji's seeming objections.

But finally Puji relented, the three of them simultaneously entered the canteen.

Adrian was sitting in the corner of the canteen. He sees Dena walking with Aurel.

Adrian's face looks pale, he is increasingly worried Aurel will approach Dena.

" A minute, you guys order some food first. I want to see my husband", Dena walked over to Adrian.

Aurel grinned thinly, true his assumption that Dena is his wife Adrian.

" Adrian, your standards for a woman never go down huh" Aurel murmured inwardly.

He admits that Dena is beautiful, more beautiful than him. He only needs to find the lack of Dena to reclaim Adrian's heart.

" Dear, I've already given up my job with the new employee who replaced me".

" There she is, her name is Aurel", Dena pointed towards Aurel who was also staring towards them .

Adrian did not answer what, he continued his meal.

" Yes already then I joined Puji and Aurel yes, good-bye dear", Dena left Adrian who was actually anxious by the presence of Aurel.

That day, became the last day Dena worked at the Company.

Before returning home he said goodbye to his co-workers in his room.

Praise hugging him tightly, even crying to release a friend who has not been known for too long.

" Hey, praise not to cry. We can still meet" Dena rubbed his best friend's back.

" If you have time we can still walk together, to the cafe, shopping, I'm still your best friend even though I don't work here anymore".

Praise rubbed her eyes.

" You promise, you won't forget me. Call me always, I'll be there if you need me".

" And one more thing, you still owe me".

" Huh, debt? What debt?", Dena scrunched up her forehead recalling whether she had ever borrowed anything to Puji.

" You owe me a promise, a promise to introduce me to a man at your wedding" said Puji.

Dena patted her eel.

" Yes . I forgot, take it easy I'll introduce you to Lukas".

They then hugged once more before Dena left the room.

Dena was just about to get into the elevator when Aurel's voice called out to her and stopped her steps.

" Dena, wait a minute..."

" I don't have your phone number yet, who knows if I'll have anything to ask you" Aurel pulled out his phone.

Dena unhesitatingly gave her mobile number.

" Thank you Dena, good luck out there".

" I hope we can be friends even though we just met" Aurel suddenly became friendly to Dena.

Of course he had other intentions to approach Dena .

" I'm going home first huh, Bye Aurel", Dena left Aurel and headed for the parking lot where Adrian was waiting for him in the car.
