MARRIED DUREN ANSA

The Unexpected Meeting

Ary enters his room after Eno's return. The house feels empty again. When Eno came to his house, Eno brought Agam's two children, Fani and Richard.

The night is getting late, but Ary has not been able to sleep. He was still agitated at the thought of Eno and Agam's words earlier. How Ary will open his heart to other men, while he only realized that he was too in love with Rendy. Such is love, he will be easily recognized if he is not with her.

Loss and regret mixed into one, making Ary difficult to open his heart to other men. For him, Rendy had enough of him to learn the meaning of sincere love. A love that expects nothing in return to be loved. Enough to love, without expecting his love to be reciprocated.

The next day, Ary attends an annual event at the Regent's office. The event only lasted a few hours. The event starts at ninety-thirty and ends at twelve p.m.

Ary and his friend decided to stop by the diner, because it was time for lunch. It was very hot, not as usual.

"It's really hot this afternoon?" said Ary's colleague.

"Yes, it looks like it's going to rain tonight." replied Ary.

"We eat at the front dining house that's all right, that's the closest thing right now." invite Ary's friend while pointing at a building that is quite spacious yard.

"Yes, it looks like the place is good. Adem! Many shade trees." replied Ary agreed to his friend's invitation.

Finally Ary turned his car into the restaurant building.

When about to enter the restaurant, Ary accidentally nudged someone. But Ary had not had time to fall, because the man immediately held his hand.

"Whoo!" ary screams in shock that someone hit him.

"Sorry, madam! Not on purpose." said the man, the one who accidentally bumped into Ary.

"Keep not looking ahead!" rutuk Ary with annoyance.

The person who hit Ary was in a hurry to meet someone inside.

"I'm sorry, really sorry. I'm in a hurry" said the man.

"Other times, be careful when walking." replied Ary flatly.

"Dok, how?" ask Ary's friend.

"Is there a wound?" coined.

"No, let's go in. I am so thirsty!" take Ary.

"It's hot today, don't be hearted, doc!" said Deby, Ary's friend while grinning.

"The heart may be hot, but the head must be cold!" ary replied as she stepped her feet towards the empty dining table.

"Must be! That's why we're drinking, let it cool" said Deby laughing, then his hand waving to the waiter.

"What to drink? Hot water?!" ask Ary.

"What order, mbak?" ask the waiter while handing the menu book to Ary and Deby.

"Corrus juice mix carrots without ice, what are you Deb?" ask Ary.

"Avocado juice, use a lot of ice!" answer Deby.

"Eat what? All dong!" ary said while opening the menu book, still choosing the menu according to his current taste.

"What, yes, there is a recommendation menu?" ask Deby to the waiter.

"Yes, that's Deb! I want to wear a terasi sambal that pedes level five huh. That you're Deb?" ary asked as he closed the menu book.

"Same on! Saute kale with grilled chicken." replied Deby.

While waiting for the order to come, Ary played his HP. There is an incoming message notification from an unknown number. Because he felt he did not know the number, Ary was just indifferent. There is no intention to read let alone reply to it.

Meanwhile, at a table not far from Ary and his friend, it appears that the man who had hit Ary was talking to his friend.

"Sorry, I'm late. There was a little incident up ahead" said the man who hit Ary earlier.

"It's ok! I just arrived too." replied Alex.

Currently Alex wants to find a contractor who will work on the construction of the mall. Alex plans to build a mall in Purworejo. Alex asked to meet at Kulonprogo, because all the way. Alex, who was going home from Purworejo to his house, got a call from Kenan, wanted to invite him to meet. Coincidentally Kenan from Jogja to Purworejo.

Alex and Kenan decided to meet in Kulonprogo alone, because they must have passed the same path, even in different directions.

Just as Alex was about to order food, his eyes accidentally saw Ary sitting not far from his place. He also tried to send Ary a message.

"Hi girl!" the message was sent, but Ary did not read the message let alone reply to it.

Ary is still cool playing while waiting for orders to come, but Ary does not respond to incoming messages. Finally Alex made a call, knowing Ary would answer his call.

After repeatedly connecting the tone, Ary still did not want to answer the call. Alex was also upset. Alex finally decides to approach Ary, while waiting for his order to be served. Before approaching Ary's desk, Alex excuses the friend.

"Bominy! It's the head of the hospital." Alex said behind the chair Ary was sitting in.

Ary felt familiar with the voice, immediately looking back.

"Hi, who's arrogant?!" ary replied annoyed at having been shocked by Alex.

"Who is 🤔, who feels good!" alex said while holding his chin.

"So who is arrogant! I really didn't see you. So there is no intention of bragging." replied Ary back to sit facing the table.

"If the message is not read, when again hold hp, what's the name?" alex asks while leaving Ary, because his order has been served on his desk.

"Ups!" ary said as he closed his mouth.

Ary starts unlocking his HP, and sees Alex's profile there.

"Pantes said I was arrogant, but he was a prankster. I don't know if it's anyone else!" muttered Ary while replying to a message from Alex.

"Hi's a guy too! How are you?'' reply Ary.

Alex heard a notification sound on his HP, he stopped eating for a while to check his HP. Alex's smile expands as she reads a message from Ary just now.

"Good news! After dinner, we chat briefly ya🙏🙏🙏" type Alex.

Alex wants to make another approach to Ary. Alex hopes his relationship with Ary can be knitted back. Once he finds out Ary is widowed, Alex feels he has a breath of fresh air. There's still a chance to be together, Alex thought.

"It can, but I can't take long. How's it?" ary replied while enjoying her lunch.

"Dok, eat first. Play the HP later, after you finish eating. Wrong fear that goes into the mouth." said Deby reminded with a smile.

"Yes! Thank you for being reminded, it is not good to eat while playing. But how about it, curious about the same content." replied Ary grinned, because embarrassed to be reprimanded his friend.
