Life Goes On

Something that can't hurt you. Will never hurt you. Sinta fortified her feelings in such a way. No one would be able to hurt him without his own consent.

His life was too precious to be destroyed let alone ruffled. Life is not only about love but also self-esteem and achievement.

Peace with the situation. Makes his life feel lighter. No load.

His communication with Krishna improved. They limit their relationship to work. Not more.

Sometimes they eat lunch together. Not a habit or a necessity but just maintaining a good relationship between the two of them.

"I want to pay my debt."

"Are you paying?"

"I'll cash out my deposit."

Train to set aside a million dollars a month to save. His salary is six million dollars every month. Require it can regulate all its expenses ranging from electricity, rent, food, living costs and all its expenses. Savings where deposited so it is not easy to liquid. 

Seventy million rupiah the total amount of deposits he had. 

"I don't need to rush. You've been chirping three times every payday."

"Ok, thank you."

"Back of love." Kreshna threw her smile.

"To be honest, I'm glad we can get on with each other's lives." Ratih ventured to express his opinion.

"me too. We should have been friends long ago."

"Yeah, you should have been with Alicia a long time ago. Our relationship is just friends nothing more. I don't have to be silly to be jealous of her if she's your boyfriend. Cook me for other people's lovers? Not a lack of work?"

"Lack of work. It's just like it's too good."

"You duh! I obviously feel very silly. I think there's a limit. Hurt someone else's partner. That's not worth it."

"But I can't help myself not falling in love with you." Kreshna expresses her feelings honestly. Makes Ratih's face red.

"That's not love. You're only interested in me. I don't know what attracted you to me. But whatever it is. Not love."

"Alicia and I have known each other for a long time. We used to date too. He betrayed me. I'm heartbroken."

"Your love is Alicia. Maybe you're hurt by betrayal but that doesn't mean you can move your love to me."

"Eitherway! But I can't help myself not chasing you when I see you."

"Easy! Don't talk about it anymore. We are not fit as a couple. That's the truth."

"Yeah! Youre right. We better not force ourselves."

"Yeah, you're right. I'm gonna eat first. It's lunchtime." Now." Ratih grabbed his bag. I mean get out of Krishna's office.

"Lunch together, yuk. I'll deal with it."

"I don't feel good if you treat me often. I'll pay for it myself."

"It's okay. You better save your money. Moreover, you also want to repay your debt. You have to save money so that your money can be enough. Savings are important."

Ratih stared doubtfully, "I don't want to plant the mind."

"That cannot plant a seed." Kontan Kreshna chuckled while Ratih's face scowled.

"Not funny!" Ratih.

"Funny lah! Yuk, we eat. Because I'm the one who deals. You can't protest." Krishna got up from his seat.

They walked out of the office. Kreshna ordered ojol. It was not until fifteen minutes that they had already slid to the spot that Krishna had chosen.

The place is quite large and crowded. Especially lunch hours like today.

They took a seat near the fish pond.

Kreshna ordered a grilled fish, mushroom pepes, grilled squid, sambal, tempeh and tofu penyet, sauteed genjer.

"Your house likes to be crowded on Sunday nights."

"Yeah! My friends love spending time together. If they don't have a show. You know where it's from?"

"I want to talk to you. But I see your house is crowded. It's not so."

"They're Diah, Dira, Mirna and Amanda."

"God! Office kids?"

"Yeah! Just join me if you want."

"No ah! Women all. What if I get raped?" 

Kontan Ratih.

"Yes, don't tell me!"

Break Krishna's laughter, "Ngapain is saying something. I will be a victim later. Lose the rival."

They laughed back.

"Because of all the women. That's where the thrill is. Can stay until morning." Terang Ratih's.

"Well, I'll play sometime if you're not spending time with your friends."

"Whatever."

Tonight this week. Ratih's friends no one's floating it. They have their own show. They told me they didn't get together that Sunday night.

Choose to relax. Try a new recipe. Klaperton. Refrigerated to be stored in the refrigerator. 

Fry the chicken a few pieces. Tofu tempe. And make spinach. Cooking rice. Take a shower and relax and enjoy your Sunday night at home.

Dry the towel and open the door. Kreshnah.

"What's wrong?" Ask Ratih.

"There's nothing. Just go out alone Sunday night."

"You didn't call Alicia?"

"You didn't call yourself, what's your boyfriend's name?"

"Dani?"

"Yeah! Dani's."

"He's busy on the weekend."

"Oh. I did too." 

"You mean?"

"Alicia's busy on the weekend." Kreshna's answer is lying. Both chuckle.

"Can't it be the same?" Ceplos Ratih's.

"Maybe because the trend is so." Sahut Kreshna.

"I'm lazy out, you know!" Ratih medanti-wanti Kreshna.

"Anyone wants to take you out. Gr!"

"Indeed, Boncos doesn't treat you anyway." 

"Yes in! If we're good."

"Gak sehati aja. But also a soul. If you want to be able to play too."

Ratih hit Krishna with his soft cushion.

"I'm just kidding! I am not afraid of sins!"

"Kidding don't want dong!"

"But as long as it's not forced. Like same likes. It's okay too!"

The cushion of the sofa drifted back to Krishna's face. Krishna chuckled again this time until he held his stomach.

"Do you want to stay here or get out of here?" Threatened Ratih.

"I'm just kidding. Don't be so crisp, dong! Have you ever been, what am I? Don't you? No need to parno!"

Ratih's face glared, "We're here just the two of us. Fear of the three demons."

"You suudzon it can also be of the devil. I wish the door of the house was opened wide."

"So, you say too. If the devil passes?"

"So things are wanted? Repot too?"Kontan Kreshna laughed, "That I was sent to KUA! Yuhu…."

Ratih's tickling, "It's not funny!"

"Funny dong! Don't be mad, dong! What food do you have? I'm lafarrr…."

Ratih opened the door of the house and the garage was wide.

"The point is trust."Kreshna.

"Yes that. But still have to be careful.  Especially just the two of us. Why don't you bring mein anyway?" Omel Ratih's.

"Night of sunday! Wakuncar. Let's get out if you keep getting angry!"

"I'm males out again. You're here if I have my friends!"

"Don't dong! Women all. What if I get hit?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Udah dong! Don't keep getting angry. I want to eat."

Train cut his klapertart. Put it on the cake plate.

"Would you eat rice?"

"Emang is?"

"I'm just cooking fried chicken, spinach, tofu and fried tempeh."

"Alhamdulillah. Pretty frugal. Than eating out. Want dong!"

Ratih laughed at Krishna.

"I can't practice going back. You eat my cooking, right? Impasse right?" Radih.

"Great dream!" Kreshna pulls the dining chair. Pouring rice into the dish. Take a piece of chicken, tofu, tempeh and vegetable spinach.

"Nake or hungry?"

"Both. I can definitely save more than eating out."

"I want to eat, look at you eating so well."

Trained to take the plate. Pouring rice into the dish. Take side dishes and vegetables.

Finish eating them towards the living room. Ratih brought the klapertart that had been placed into the cake plate. Put a warm sweet tea next to the cake plate.

They talk a lot of things up to talking about their work.
