Love In Butterfly Needles

Meet with Adrian

Prologue#

You understand the most

I'd rather hide behind a grave

Enjoy the silence between solitude

Hugging tightly all the shadows will be dark.

Yes, only you know me best.

Without ever expressing

Without needing to say

It is only you that makes me calm.

Really am...

I don't want any more

Because enough of your presence to me

Which perfects all dreams

And makes me comfortable to hold my heart.

Thank you for being half my life.

Stay like that..

I don't know what it's like in the end, but it's always about you at the beginning.

*** Dena sat daydreaming in her chair, she relaxed a little today because the monthly report requested by her supervisor was finished yesterday. So far his superiors have always been satisfied with the work of Dena, so far no co-workers who know the truth he suffered from chronic diseases, as well, even one of his friends doesn't know that.

Let it be, as long as it can still be covered by his friend, Dena thought.

Praise the day he didn't get into the office, he told Dena that he wasn't feeling well.

" It could hurt as well as it turned out to be him, hahaha", Dena's laughter in the heart.

Dena waited for ten more minutes for lunch, today meant she had to eat alone in the cafeteria. It was okay for him, all this time before his introduction to Puji while he was still working in the Capital, he was used to eating lunch without anyone's company.

The lunch hour had arrived, some of the employees in the room had already gone out to the cafeteria. Dena was still lazily moving from her chair, she was not so hungry. But for the sake of seeing the routine drugs that he must drink, he forced himself to step on his feet for lunch.

Dena pressed the elevator button, she was on the fifth floor of the Company building while the canteen was located on the ground floor. There was no one in the elevator, he was alone because almost all the employees had gone to the cafeteria.

The elevator stops on the third floor, indicating that someone will come down with him. The elevator door opened, and a man entered the elevator.

" Hey. this man is Adrian who is always told Praise in every conversation they have", muttered Dena.

" Oh.. The general division is on the third floor apparently".

The two of them just stayed in the elevator, not greeting each other.

Then they walked in the same direction towards the canteen after the elevator door opened on the ground floor.

Dena looked at the cafeteria room that was already full of employees eating lunch, she was indeed a little late today so there was almost no seating left. Unlike usual there is a very nimble Puji looking for a seat for them.

Dena finally saw a small table with two chairs in the corner of the canteen. He immediately sat there, put his bag on the table to order food.

He returned to his chair with a plate of rice and a bottle of mineral water, but Dena was surprised by Adrian sitting there with his meal .

" I'm sorry, can I sit here?"

' I looked for an empty place but I didn't find it"

" These are the only two chairs I've seen, and these are your bags, right?", asked Adrian.

" Yes please, just sit there", Dena was not happy to drive Adrian from there.

Actually he does not feel comfortable eating alone with men, especially Adrian is one of the many men in the idol of female employees in this office.

Several pairs of eyes stared at Dena, guessing whether this woman was Adrian's lover.

Some say "How lucky the woman was to have lunch together with Adrian who was notoriously cold with women".

Dena started eating food in her presence .

" I've often seen you having lunch together with your friend, why is it alone now?", Adrian asked .

" Ahh I forgot, introduce me Adrian".

" I'm Dena", Dena receives Adrian's hand, then they shake hands and rush off by Dena.

He doesn't like introductions to strangers.

In Dena's heart said,

" Of course I know your name, Praise never even tired of admiring your good looks and repeating her words every day until my ears get tired of hearing them".

" You haven't been working here long, Dena?"

" Yes, I've only been working for a month".

" Oh yeah, what division are you in?"

" Finance" Dena replied briefly

Dena considered the man in front of her was not a cold man as Puji often said, the proof that afternoon was a lot of chatter between the two of them.

Dena still felt uncomfortable because the female employees in the cafeteria room just kept staring at her.

" Dena, can we exchange phone numbers?", Adrian said things that Dena did not expect.

He actually wanted to answer "no" because Dena had not just given his mobile number to someone he just knew. Even only her siblings and family know her cell phone number, some others like Puji and the nurse nurse in the Hemodialysis room.

But Dena did not have enough reason to refuse to give her mobile number while Adrian had seen Dena's phone lying on the table.

They exchanged mobile numbers.

" I don't know why he asked for my phone number?", muttered Dena.

Surely if Puji knew this he would squeal with excitement and then ask Dena to share Adrian's phone number .

" Pujiiiii.you haven't been lucky today, look today I ate alone with your idol, hahaha".

Dena looked at this male before her with a distance of less than a meter.

" He's good-looking too, deserved women in this office a lot of heartbreak because he was rejected by her".

" Let's hope I don't belong to any of those women" Dena muttered.

The cafeteria had begun to quiet, some employees had returned to their respective rooms.

Adrian invites Dena to leave the canteen. Followed by Dena's nod, they walked to the elevator.

The real Adrian stole a look at Dena. Even during this time he often quietly watched Dena during lunch in the canteen. But it was only today that he had a chance to get acquainted with Dena.

Adrian stopped on the third floor, before exiting the elevator he said goodbye to Dena .

" I'm first Den, nice to meet you".

Dena replied to Adrian with a smile.

Had Adrian been the figure of Adam in the version without a wife, surely Dena think he would have been one of the female fighters in line to approach her .

But the figure of Adam is too strong with all the warm character he has, it is difficult for Dena to equate Mas Adam with any man he knows.

Although he currently does not know the direction of their relationship, he is faced with a difficult situation. Choosing to survive with his feelings must bear the risk of being called a destroyer of people's households. But if you choose to retreat and forget the man it feels like he has not been able to, he is only able to show an indifference that actually also torments his inner self.

Dena went back to her study, leaned back tired. He sat with his right hand fingered the cimino on his wrist. The swirling was so loud that there were a few butterfly needle marks around it.

The murmur was as loud as the murmur of his heart when he met Adam.

" Well, Adam. Do you know what's wrong with you?"

" It's your fault that you have a wife".

Dena returned to piteousness in his mind.
