Love In Butterfly Needles

Angels or Demons?

The dried frangipani leaves fell from its branches. The dried leaves fell on the shoulders of Dena who was resting in the navel of her husband.

He sprinkled flowers on the ground of the tomb which is now surrounded by granite.

" Dear, six months you've left me. Is it too soon if I reopen my heart to Mas Adam?", Dena spoke to herself before Adrian's tomb.

" I'm afraid you're jealous, because I know what it's like. Right now it seems like I'm going through it, I'm jealous of Mas Adam who is close to another woman", Dena poured out her heart.

He clasped the ground over Adrian's tomb tightly in the grasp of his hand, a drop of tears falling on his cheek. She remembered her husband, still loved the man so much that she felt guilty if she had to be in a relationship with another man.

Dena was not long at the funeral, she decided not to go home. It's been a long time since he's eaten out since Adrian's departure, just enjoying "me time" for himself.

The phone he gave a special tone to someone rang.

" Hallo Dena, where are you?", Mas Adam's voice on the other end of the phone greeted him.

" On the street, what's going on?", Dena answered ketus because he still keeps a sense of annoyance at the man.

" Do you want to accompany me to lunch outside?", asked Mas Adam.

Dena felt prestige if she answered yes, but if she refused it would be even more sorry if it turns out Mas Adam finally invited Julia to lunch together with her.

" Where is Julia? How should I accompany you to lunch?", Dena finally pulled out her snacking style.

Mas Adam held back a laugh, it was funny for him to see Dena dead cover his jealousy.

" Hehehe, Julia is busy so she can't keep me company", but Mas Adam did not contact Julia at all.

" Ohh, means that if Julia wasn't busy you wouldn't take me to lunch?", Dena was hotter by Mas Adam's reply just now.

" Come on, do you want it or not? If you don't want it already, later I wait for Julia to come home from work just eat her", Mas Adam increasingly berjahili Dena.

" Whatever !!!! ", Dena held back the tightness in her increasingly rumbling chest.

" Yes, whatever. Come on if I want to wait for you at the restaurant the first time I take you out to lunch. You remember that, right?".

Dena was silent, not answering.

" Ciihh, what am I in her eyes. Only the second choice after Julia?", swearing Dena in the heart.

" Hey, Dena, you hear me? Come on, I'm walking now. We meet there. Bye.", Mas Adam hung up the phone without waiting for a yes or no answer from Dena.

Dena hit the steering wheel, riled made the man. He was eager to come because he was afraid of losing a move by Julia, but on the other hand he felt he had to maintain his pride.

" Ohh God, is this how jealous it feels? I never felt this jealousy towards Adrian. But now the feeling is felt in the deepest end of the heart ".

Dena finally decides to come to the restaurant, she needs to investigate the extent of Mas Adam's relationship with Julia. Whether they are still in the approach stage or they are already dating.

He came to the restaurant, when Mas Adam was sitting waiting for him in the same chair when they had lunch for the first time.

With a faint smile on the man's lips, he knew Dena was coming.

Dena sat in front of Mas Adam, still putting on a sullen look.

" Hey, why doesn't your face look pretty today?", Adam teased Dena who had a sour face that day.

Dena clenched her hands, wanting to feel like she was hitting this guy's stomach.

" What's a beautiful woman named Julia, until you say I'm not beautiful?", asked Dena with a breath that hunts for holding back anger.

" Hey, why do you always talk about Julia? Do you want to get acquainted with her?", Mas Adam actually still holds back laughter .

" Huhh, it's not important. Why would you take me to lunch if you just wanted to talk about Julia".

" I'm the one talking about Julia? Didn't you start talking about it yourself?.

Dena died a flea by saying Mas Adam.

" Stupid, stupid you Dena. Why can't you cover up your jealousy?", said Dena in her heart.

" Never frown again, so that your beautiful face is not covered, hehehe".

" This is for you" Mas Adam gave Dena a fairly large paper bag.

Dena received it, then opened the contents of the paper bag. A heart-shaped pillow with fine pink fur.

" I'm not having a birthday, why are you giving this to me" asked Dena confused, though in her heart a happy feeling.

Dena did not want to melt this time with that sweet smile.

" Ciihh, you also gave the doll to Julia. Then what is my special to you, is it the same?", grumbled Dena in heart.

" How's your relationship with Julia?", Dena can't wait to keep this question in her mind.

" Ordinary, good.everything is good" replied Mas Adam flatly.

" I mean, are you guys officially dating?", Dena didn't notice her already red face from holding back the embarrassment of asking that question.

" Hahaha, did I ever tell you that I like it?", Mas Adam was even surprised by Dena's question.

Dena shook her head, as she remembered this man never told her anything about his feelings for Julia. He alone is too jealous blind to draw his own conclusions about the relationship of Mas Adam and Julia.

" So what exactly is your relationship?", Dena wants Mas Adam to answer clearly instead of asking her back.

" Not discussed, you said you didn't want to talk about Julia. Now let's eat" said Mas Adam because the food they ordered was on the table.

Dena could not enjoy the food that entered her mouth, she was busy guessing the answer to her own questions.

They were done with their own food.

" I went to Adrian's grave" Dena began to reopen the conversation.

" Oh yeah? I have not visited Adrian's tomb for almost a month. Why don't you tell me, so we can come together" said Mas Adam.

" I want to be alone, talking to my husband about everything I feel right now. Really, I still love her but I'm not sure if I can live alone with Noah without another love in my heart forever", Dena lowered her head.

Adam understood Dena's feelings, as if faced with two choices. Between true love for her husband or first love still growing in her heart.

Adam held Dena's hand,

" Why do you hesitate to step up?".

Dena shook her head.

" I don't know, the guilt keeps haunting me. I can be healthy like this because of Adrian's sacrifice, can I be happy with another man after everything Adrian did for me?".

Adam knew he was the other guy he meant. A little heavy he swallowed his saliva .

" You know, when you have a strong desire, you can act like an angel or you can act like a demon. Do you think I'm an angel or a demon?"

Dena digested Mas Adam's sentence just now, she still didn't understand.

" I don't know what you mean".

Adam took a long breath.

" I really want you to be mine. But I never forced my will and forced you to forget Adrian. I want him to live in our hearts. So do you think I'm a demon who can ruin your love for Adrian?".

Dena closed her eyes for a while, then drew air into her lungs deeply.

I know, you're like an angel to me. Whether it's love, attention, time or affection that you always give me.

" So actually you and Julia?", Dena went back to that question.

Adam was smiling.

" I don't have to answer that, because you actually know the truth".

Mas Adam still hangs his answers just like Dena who still hangs his love.

The man moved slightly from his seat, then a warm kiss landed on Dena's forehead.

" I'm still waiting for you to open your heart again for me".
