Stella has done the reserfasi before, she's a regular customer so get special service.
When Stella and Kuncoro arrived, a servant who recognized Stella immediately greeted them kindly.
The waiter took Stella to a private room upstairs, usually people took three days before to recerfate but Stella did it for less than thirty minutes.
What is meant by a private room is a medium-sized room with large glass windows to highlight urban viu from the fifth floor.
The male waiter was used to serving special customers, he wanted to pull a chair for Stella but did not so because Kuncoro first pulled a chair for Stella.
The waiter stood awkwardly but kept smiling. After Kuncoro and Stella sat down, the waiter approached them, prodding the menu, speaking kindly despite the big question marks in his eyes when he saw Stella.
" Please select the menu. " The waiter prepares a notebook and a ballpoint pen from his pocket, then waits patiently.
Kuncoro chose a few menus for himself while ordering Stella's favorite food. Stella likes shrimp so Kuncoro ordered several kinds of menus that have warehousing. Stella likes fresh drinks, so she chooses strawberry juice.
After taking notes on everything, the waiter left Stella and Kuncoro alone.
After the waiter died, Kuncoro saw Stella sitting in front of him.
The round dining table is covered in white silk cloth with a fresh flower arrangement on top of it being the distance between Kuncoro and Stella.
Only one metre away, Kuncoro could reach Stella, embrace her, but she refrained from being implicit.
On the other hand, Stella furrowed her brows, she did not expect Kuncoro to still remember everything she liked. Kuncoro's actions and attention are still the same as before. What changed was Kuncoro who was now more mature, his actions were calmer and his face was more handsome.
So far he has enjoyed the kindness of Kuncoro. The feeling of being noticed made him comfortable being near Kuncoro.
" How are you? " Kuncoro
" How about yourself? " Stella asked back.
" As you can see, I haven't changed. " Kuncoro did not change his image in front of Stella. For this he tells the truth that his feelings for Stella have not changed.
Stella did not not understand Kuncoro's intentions but she pretended not to understand.
The purpose of her meeting Kuncoro was indeed for this, making a clear distance between herself and Kuncoro given her status was now the sister-in-law of Kuncoro.
Like rice has become porridge, it is impossible to return again.
" Why did you leave me at that time? " Stella said in a flat tone but on condition of complaint, her gaze showing helplessness.
" I had a little trouble back then until I didn't get to see you. But before I left I sent you a message to wait for me, " Kuncoro replied recalling the events of nine years ago. But he couldn't explain it to Stella right now. The other side of his life, he had not been able to entrust to others. Regarding his love for Stella he cannot lie to himself.
Stella observes Kuncoro's face, she can see love from the look in her eyes. Then came the regret of why he did not wait until Kuncoro returned.
" I got your message." Stella locked her gaze on Kuncoro's black bead. Stella refused to let go of Kuncoro, until Kuncoro felt her despair at that time.
" You know I'm almost crazy because of you? " Stella with a higher tone.
Kuncoro silently looked at Stella's sad face, she wanted to calm her down but she benefited her intention considering Stella would be her sister-in-law. That sympathy changed, making him want to be angry.
Stella took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions
" I waited for you for nine years" he said slowly but still heard by Kuncoro
" And then?! " Kuncoro did not think, if indeed Stella was waiting for him why now even married his brother. He is not a child who is easily fooled. Although he was stupid for love, already knew to be betrayed but could not let go.
" Nine years is not a short time. There are times when I feel hopeless when I can't find you when I've tried so hard. One day when I was feeling depressed, I went to a club. I didn't know how much I drank until I got drunk. When I woke up I was with Roy. " Stella couldn't hold back her tears.
Kuncoro silently listened to Stella's story with complicated feelings. Stella was an ordinary woman, carrying a burden for her for nine years and finally she was unable to withstand misfortune.
" Roy is kindly responsible to me. L'm.... " Stella stopped her words, but her tears could not be stopped.
" What should I do? And you have no news. " Stella lowered her head.
" I didn't know Roy was your brother. Ii'm sorry. " Stella raised her face to look at Kuncoro.
Kuncoro did not say as for, he only observed Stella. Seeing him cry, seeing him despair, seeing him sad.
" I'm no longer worthy of you. From now on we break ties in the past. Ii'm sorry. " Stella apologized for the second time. What he wants to say already, at least he has told the truth, regardless Kuncoro forgives him or not it depends on Kuncoro.
Stella was unable to hold back another room with Kuncoro, and she finally stood up, taking wide steps towards the door.
Before Stella grabbed the doorknob, a tall figure stood before her, blocking her path.
Kuncoro hugged Stella tightly, for a long time she had missed this woman. She foolishly liked the interaction with Stella even though she knew she had done the wrong deed.
Stella wanted to return Kuncoro's embrace but she held back, she clenched her fists on both sides so as not to carelessly move.
Stella could hear the beating of the man before her, she felt a longing.
" Leave Roy. Marry me! " Kuncoro said firmly.
Stella was increasingly unable to endure the turmoil in her heart, her shoulders trembling withstanding the cries, revealing fragility. Had he not been under contract with Roy, he would have agreed to Kuncoro's request.
" Let go of me! "Stella thrashed in Kuncoro's arms
The more Stella thrashed, the more Kuncoro tightened his embrace. He has done something wrong to Stella, causing her to become depressed and out of control.
Once again Stella thrashed. Kuncoro finally let go reluctantly.
" I can't leave Roy right now" Stella said
" He was kind to me. I can't ignore it. " continued Stella with a weak appearance.
Kuncoro took a deep breath. She knew Stella was stubborn in her opinion. Stella's reasoning also made sense. But his guilt and love are more absurd.
" Come back to me when Roy's not doing you any good ! " Kuncoro said solemnly while holding both of Stella's shoulders.
Stella nodded then nodded, she seemed to be offended by the truth of Kuncoro's speech.
Kuncoro no longer blocks Stella. He was still standing by the door when Stella left him. Stella's existence was a poison in her life, and this poison was already flowing in her blood.
Kuncoro walked slowly towards the glass wall, his gaze glaring at the blue sky. The fight within him made him cry for a while. He woke up when the waiter opened the door to deliver the food he had ordered.
As if awakened, Kuncoro moved out of place. Now he has no appetite. He leaves the cash-covered table to pay the bills, then goes wide leaving the place to chase after Stella.
Kuncoro had missed a dozen minutes of contemplation causing him to lose track of Stela. But he doesn't give up, he goes down the sidewalk hoping to find Stella. His gaze was wild to the right and to the left, even occasionally he turned the body circulating the gaze as far as he could, checking all the angles yet being searched had not yet met.
Kuncoro's footsteps stopped in front of the shopping mall, after weighing he decided to enter. Along the front corridor of the shopping center, Kuncoro circulated the look for Stella's figure.
