Marriage Should Not be Love

Ex-ex

Time passed so fast.Lala increasingly communicate with Rizal through short messages.Their relationship is getting closer.While Juna still consistently sent Lala a message even though there was none that was replied by Lala.

It's saturday.Lala only works until 2 pm.Lala night he already has an appointment will watch a movie in the cinema with Rizal.At last he can feel the night of the week with the couple even though in this case Rizal is not his girlfriend.But at least Rizal takes Lala on a weekly date night at the movies, something Juna never does to her.

It was time to go home.Lala tidied up her work desk and packed her belongings preparing to go home.As usual, Adit suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Where are you going?" Adit starts interrogating Lala.

"You go home."

"Guide me for a minute.I want to buy something at mall X."

"What do you want to buy? In this plaza is all there.This part is your own plaza why tired to the next mall?!"

"Ngga exciting tau...!"

"But I have an appointment this afternoon."

"What promise?" adit's eyes have started to glare.

"I want to see a movie at the cinema."

"Who's the guy?" adit's eyes are getting wider.His fingers are almost out.

"Should I answer?" Lala asked in an innocent tone to tease Adit.She knew for sure Adit's mind was everywhere now.

"I'm coming!"

"Ngga... It's good to play along.I'm going on a date." Lala grunt.

"Yes already if you can not come.Mean you now nemenin me to mall X!"

"Don't want to, tomorrow's aja.Besok right off?!"

"I want it now!" Adit.

Actually there is nothing important that Adit wants to buy in mall X. This is just a mode so that he can be with Lala.

"Don't want to! Don't even do it!" Lala passed still with her mouthpiece.

How adit is anxious with this one girl.The other girls are competing to attract his attention, he said, Lala actually firmly rejects it but she also does not release it.Such as a kite that is free to fly in the air but the thread is still held by its owner.Maybe that is how Adit feels today.He is free with any woman he likes but his heart remains in Lala's grasp.He cannot escape unless Lala releases him.

After watching the film, Rizal invites Lala to stop by at a coffee shop today.Lala just agree Rizal.Toh invitation there is still time until 10 pm.

"What do you want to order coffee for?" Rizal offers a menu to Lala.

"mmm... I don't actually drink coffee."

"Oh... Sorry, I don't know."

"We can move somewhere else if you want."

"It's okay, I can order milk."

"All right, it's up to you."

"Usually people don't drink coffee because of certain diseases? Are you like that too?" Rizal opened the conversation after they got a seat.

"Oh... No. I did not really like to drink coffee.I like to inhale the aroma alone.But I can not feel the pleasure."

"Daradly so... I really like coffee."

They kept talking until it felt almost too late.

"It looks like I should go home now," Lala looked at the clock on her phone.

"Wait a minute" Rizal prevented him "I want to say something, I want to say something" he continued.

"Lala... I've been in love with you since I first saw you.I want to get to know you more closely.Will you be my lover?"

"Deg!" She does know Rizal likes her but she did not expect Rizal to express her feelings this soon.

"Rizal... Isn't this too hasty?"

"No.I'm sure of my feelings," Rizal replied with a mantab.

"We've only known and met a few times.I can't give you an answer right now."

"Didn't you trust me?"

"I need time to think about it first.I don't want to mess around with a relationship."

"How long?"

Lala looks worried.

"One month?"

"alright... I'll wait for your decision in a month." Rizal smiles.

"Can I go home now?" Lala asked while raising her eyebrows.

"Of course.Do you want to drive?"

"No need.I brought a motorbike, you brought a car.You want to send how?"

"Yes yes, just now we walk here alone," Rizal laughed at his stupidity.

"alright... See you soon."

"See you."

Lala drove her motorcycle home.Until at home she immediately changed clothes and laid herself on the bed.She thought of Rizal who just expressed her feelings towards Lala.It was three men who expressed her feelings towards Lala.But none could replacing Juna.

Lala is a typical woman who is difficult to open her heart.Until her age is now almost 30 years old, can be counted how many times she dated.She only had three ex-boyfriends.

Lala first dated at the beginning of college.She had not dated when High School.The strict rules of her parents made her not dare to mess around.Lala's first girlfriend named Arda.She was Lala's first boyfriend and first love.At that time Arda was still in class 2 High School and Lala lectures the first semester.They are both still young and unstable.Sometimes their love tempestuous as there will be no end.Sometimes receding and indifferent but then together again.Maybe this is called monkey love.After graduating High School Arda must continue their studies outside the city.They had long-distance courtship.But over time communication did not run smoothly.Often misunderstood until finally their relationship broke up.

After that Lala is dating Theo.Theo is also a few years younger than Lala.She is her junior while sitting in college.Theo is very mature.She is intelligent and charismatic.If Arda is Lala's first love, she is, then Theo was Lala's first kiss. You could say Lala and Theo's relationship is the most smooth and almost unsteady relationship that Lala has ever lived.But this relationship must also end because of differences in belief.It takes a long time for Lala to finally be able to open her heart to someone else, Juna.

Lala was confused herself thinking everything.If she did not try to open her heart to others then forever she would not be able to forget Juna.But at this time she felt nothing against Rizal.Indeed after knowing Rizal more far he knows that Rizal is a fun and cool figure to talk to.But it is not enough to make Lala accept his love.There is no seed of love for Rizal in Lala's heart.Not at all.
