Love is Named Us
The Answer #2
“ Sir, already home.”
We looked over and found out that Gafi was back. Gafi was standing not far from where Aril and I were sitting. His eyes were staring straight at us at this moment.
“ You're back?” Gafi just nodded answering the question from Aril. And I got up from my seat and went to him.
“ Do you want breakfast? Auntie's cooking fried rice."
“ No, later, I'm not so hungry yet" he said and left me. I just stared at his cold attitude.
“ Do not put to heart,” said Aril calms me. And I can only smile in response.
No one knew what Gafi was thinking right now. His mood is bad. And I don't understand how to behave to him either.
After changing into clothes, Gafi and Aril started talking about their work. Seemed to feel very serious about discussing that very important project.
“ Until now what we do goes smoothly. I hope the next one will stay like this. Everyone has supported us so far, we must not waste this opportunity.” Aril then gives a document to Gafi. “ You know’ who was behind our failure back then.”
“ I know, but at the moment we don't need to open this problem. All we have to do now is make them fog with our success.”
“ I agree, after all come to play in their game this time feels very fun.”
Gafi grinned.
“ Quickly expedite this deal. We do not know what other games they will do later.”
“ All prepared, you calm down.”
“ Good. This project should not fail again”
Aril got up from his seat and took a cell phone in his pocket. He was busy with his phone at the other end. While calling, Aril looked at Gafi who was sitting with a blank look. His mind and heart were somewhere. Even though he was talking about work, some of his mind was thinking about something else.
“ I've contacted Fadil and the others. They'll finish the rest of our work.”
“ Ok, good”
“ Are you okay?” Aril began to interrogate. “ Since you daydreamed.”
“ I'm fine.”
Of course Gafi would answer like that. It was impossible for him to open his heart so easily.
“ You may be able to lie to others, but not to me. I've known you since childhood, so I know what you're like.”
“ You're overdoing it.”
“ It's up to you to say what, but I clearly know what your mind is thinking about and who.”
“ What do you think and who.” Gafi defiantly replied.
“ Yuna and a hug.” Gafi fell silent because what he said was indeed what he thought. “ You're thinking about your wife, right?”
“ What am I thinking about it for?”
“ Gafi, when Yuna disappeared from the car, you were so panicked. Looking for him like crazy. You're afraid that Yuna really disappeared back then, right?”
“ I told you you were overreacting.”
“ Or don't you still remember Sherin? Can't you forget it yet?”
“ You're so chatty. Can't you just shut up and don't have to analyze anything.”
“ It's up to you to assume, but you've confused Yuna, Fi.”
Gafi sighed.
“ It's not easy to forget it, you know that, right? Right now I'm trying to do that. As for Yuna who disappeared, you were right, when Yuna was not in the car, I remembered Sherin who suddenly disappeared. I'm afraid Yuna's not coming back like Sherin. I'm afraid everyone by my side disappeared and never came back.”
“ Back then, did you hug Yuna or Sherin?”
Gafi doesn't respond.
“ Yuna told me everything, Fi. He is confused by your attitude towards him. You hugged her by leaving a sentence that she didn't understand.”
“ Did you also tell her about Sherin?”
“ Sure. Yuna also deserves to know. You never told me about him either, did you.”
“ Because I thought it was unnecessary.”
“ That's what you think, right. What about Yuna herself? What if Yuna wants to put a wish of happiness on you.”
“ Should have been banned, right.”
“ Looks like our conversation has gone far. We go back to the original topic of the project. I don't want to talk about it anymore.”
“ Are you afraid?”
Again Gafi grinned. It seems that his best friend has made him lose his patience.
“ That night I hugged a Yuna consciously. Feeling lost and afraid. There was no Sherin on my mind that night, just Yuna, you were satisfied?”
Aril took a long breath.
Two fools trying to cover up feelings that might just start to grow. But, because the trauma of the past even makes them ignore all that.
“ Gafi.”
“ I think we're done talking about it. Don't start again."
“ Ok, fine. I won't talk about it anymore.”
...****...
“ I've prepared a snack for you. Don't forget to eat.”
I spoke by pretending that nothing happened between me and Gafi. Then I went to the backyard. There I sat on the green grass that adorned this courtyard. A very relaxing place in my opinion. Although actually my situation is not like that.
“ What are you doing here.”
Suddenly Gafi came over, and sat down beside me.
“ Is your job done?”
“ Already. Aril has also returned home.”
“ Oh so.”
I fell silent back. We looked awkward to each other.
“ Yuna, you are ugly if you are serious like this,” chirped Gafi expressionlessly.
I immediately ate it. “ You want to die yes.”
Gafi smiled a little.
“ I don't like to see you laughing loosely with Aril, but with me you're not like that. Why are you different from me”
“ Ha? Why do you like to say ambiguous things like this. That night you were like this too.”
“ Nothing ambiguous. All meanings are the same.”
I snorted in annoyance. An answer that did not satisfy me at all.
“ We forget it. I don't want to think anymore.”
Gafi nodded his head.
“ Later tonight my friends will come here. Just a small party, they want to know you.”
“ Ha? why did you just say now.”
“ Why are you panicking so?”
“ That's because I haven't prepared anything.”
“ No need to bother, I've prepared everything. After all my friends are also not many, only close people I know.”
“ So?”
“ Yes.”
“ You are always preparing everything. I feel useless.”
Gafi laughs.
“ Your last snack was good.”
“ Really, next time I will make another snack for you.”
“ You have to keep your promise.”
“ I definitely keep it.”
You're finally back as Yuna again. Sorry for making you uncomfortable. I will make it up to you by giving you happiness.
