Magic Lantern

The Lie

Everything was outlined so there was no need to worry.

Ratih tried to calm himself who was worried about his lies exposed.

He was forced to lie because they met again accidentally. He wants their relationship to end forever.

They are not meant to be a match so it is appropriate that they stay away from each other.

The idea of being friends with Kreshna isn't so bad, to be honest. Because Krishna's a fun friend.

Their only mistake was to force a love relationship between them.

A sweet relationship becomes possessive and toxic.

It is more comfortable to be friends. There is no burden at all. Friendship relationships are more sincere. They are also more able to respect each other's privacy and be more open to each other.

Everything feels perfect. Heart Ratih flowering finally bright cheerful life.

It is very easy to overcome something that might be considered cloudy. Just as a cloud receives a cluster of black clouds and makes it a beneficial rain. After that came the rainbow.

Why try crying is unclear? Ratih regretted his stupidity. Women are too baper.  So anyway. Oooo! The solution is always in front of our own eyes but we only realize it after we think about it repeatedly and find out for ourselves the vice….

A very bright day. His heart was filled with happiness. Her face was cheerful and she sang all the songs she liked.

I can't believe that how to solve the problem is so easy. Release with sincerity something that must be released and take away his wisdom.

If she was Kreshna's lover and Alicia's friend. Now the position is reversed. Everything felt lighter and without burden. 

His heart nearly jumped when a voice suddenly startled him.

"Belcome!" Tegur Krishna suddenly.

"You're making me surprised!" Ratih rubbed his heart.

"You're making me a surprise! What makes you look so happy?"

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Train diverted the conversation.

"It looks like your girlfriend is an ideal person."

Ratih's face flushed and his heart almost jumped. Afraid of his lies being exposed.

"What are you talking about my boyfriend for? I'm happy because today was so happy. No connection with my girlfriend." Ratih was still holding his heart that was pounding very fast.

"Fix! I want to know your boyfriend."

Ratih's face fluttered, "But what's it for? You don't know each other. You're my past and he's my future. It's got nothing to do with it at all. Like I don't want to know all the women who fill your days or who you'll choose for your future."

"Why don't you want to know?"

"Because it's all over."

"If it really has passed. You'd want to know."

"Even if it has really passed. Don't wanna know. Why do you know? It's all over. It's called the past."

"Maybe we're different. Even though our relationship has passed. I want to know what kind of person your boyfriend is?"

"He's not as good as you. No need to feel intimidated let alone insecure."

"Don't conclude anything. I just want to know her."

"What does he know her for? What if he gets jealous?"

"Don't exaggerate. Cook acquaintances to make you jealous? If you don't want to introduce him to me. I cut your overtime fifty percent."

"You can't do it!"

"I'll count every second you're late for the office. How's it?" Krishna's face grinned sharply.

"You?" Ratih's face was red-dyed restraining anger.

"When you want to introduce me. Not for long!" Bossy nature Krishna out.

"I'm afraid he's inferior to you. He's just a regular staffer and you're a big boss." Elak Ratih's.

"Indeed why? What is minder? Although he's a staff but he can make you happy. Understand you."

"Don't childish. You said your soul mate can't be forced."

"I'm not forcing a soul mate. I just want to know her."

It suddenly flashed something in his mind very quickly, "I'm an LDR, so I can't introduce it directly to you. We can't see him."

"Who said? He doesn't have time? We're the ones who came to him. I'll cover all the expenses. You don't look for excuses or I'll cut your overtime money in half."

"Everybody has privacy. You should appreciate that!"

"I don't want to ruin your relationship. Just want to know him. I just want to know, what kind of person did you choose? Cooking just can't?"

"Well, I'll find the time."

"Weekend this. It's time!"

"I want another time."

"Can't be another time. I can't wait any longer to get to know your boyfriend."

Ratih begins to feel the idea of claiming to have a girlfriend as a boomerang. He intends to finish everything. Why did Krishna even become curious and want to know his girlfriend?

When lunch hour comes. Ratih went to Dio's coworker, "You have to help me!"

"What problem do you have? Quiet." Calm."

"You have to promise to keep my secret."

Dio rounded his mouth, "Oh my god! Are you pregnant out of wedlock?"

Kontan Ratih shakes his friend's head. Dio rubbed his head, "Sick!"

"I'm not hurt. Are you accused of being pregnant out of wedlock?"

"Then what's your problem? Fired by the boss?"

"If I were fired. I've celebrated my freedom day."

"Then what? Have affair? Have debt? Have…."

"Can you shut up anyway? Stop that!"

"All right! Quickly tell me. What's up?"

"You must promise to keep this secret in meetings and not divulge it at all."

"All right!"

"I bragged to Mr. Kreshna that I already had a girlfriend, LDR and he wanted to know her."

"You'll just introduce him. I thought what was going on?"

"You didn't listen to my words?"

"Your boyfriend LDR."

"I'm bragging about having an LDR girlfriend."

"God! You lied to her?"

Ratih nodded his head.

"He wants to know your boyfriend?"

Train back to nod his head.

"You want me to pose as your girlfriend? Why don't you guys, I'm really looking for you?"

Ratih's eyes bulged, "Don't be insolent! Don't take a chance in narrowness!"

Kontan Dio laughed holding his stomach.

"Then what do you want to help me?"

"Do you have any friends or relatives from different cities and ask them to please confess to being my LDR girlfriend?"

"Why not really?"

"Dio! Not funny!"

"You should have a boyfriend or a husband. So don't you have to say that!" Dio finished his laugh while holding his stomach.

"His armpit?"

"Bee..lumm.."Laughter Dio's exploding.

Dio finally finished his laughter, "Alright, I'll help you. But also think about the problem of a boyfriend or husband earlier. So you're not like this and someone's taking care of you."

"Don't be fussy can you? I can take care of myself."

"Now you are young and independent. If you are old and sick. I can no longer make my own money. Who's gonna take care of you? Moreover, you are easily played by people. Don'tm mad! It's just advice."

"Whatever! Importantly, I need my own LDR girlfriend soon. Mr. Kreshna wants to know this Saturday. If it gets leaked or someone knows about this. Wait for the play date!"

"Quiet down! Your secret is safe."

Dio contacted him through wa. Submitting a profile of the next LDR girlfriend.

[How?]

[Ok, it's okay. Photo fine. His profile?]

[Tama, staff, his age is our age. Different cities.]

[Perfects! Nature, hobbies, character?]

[Good, introvert, read and aloof.]

[Perfects! Thanks!]

The eyes of Ratih shine again. He found a way out.

Bingo!
