Marrying my Dark Beloved Friend
Chapter 37
"Now, Rian?" asked Rafi who was holding the steering wheel of the car. Sure enough, he had just come home from work, now still on his way home.
"Yes, now. I wait in the usual place, yes," Rian said with great emphasis. The man's tone was not as gentle as usual. But not in a bad tone either.
"OK, ready," answered Rafi. In his heart the man was wondering what the purpose of Rian was to bring himself to meet again in four eyes.
Until finally, they met at a coffee shop where they usually spend time chatting.
Rafi arrived first because when she told herself to meet, the man was in a position not far from where the coffee shop was located. Five minutes later, Rian had just arrived there.
"Whats up, Bro," said Rian to a simple pleasantry while shaking hands.
Rafi returned the hand of Rian. "Yoi, Bro."
They sat down and ordered drinks and snacks. This time, Rian wanted to talk to Rafi long enough.
In addition to telling Rafi not to contact Alea anymore, the man also wants to remember the times when Rafi was not married to Raisa. Before there was such a complicated problem.
"So, how? Good work?" rian asked still with pleasantries.
"Currently. How are you?" Rafi also turned around to ask.
"Me or Alea you mean?" goda Rian chuckled. The man apparently started fishing for the topic he wanted to talk about.
Rafi could only swallow her saliva. "You're the one, bro. What am I doing about Alea, aren't I?" The man acted as if he had done nothing wrong. Rafi was good at lying a long time ago.
"But you called Alea, right?" asked Rian in a relaxed tone to just put up. The avocado juice he ordered, has arrived. Directly yes seruput using straws.
Rafi who was also drinking coffee orders was immediately choked to hear a question from Rian. The man seemed to forget that Alea was one office with Rian.
Even he seemed to not remember if Rian so admired Alea. Surely Rian would spy on that woman always. So that if he contacted Alea, Rian would definitely know about it.
"O-oh, yeah. It's just ...." The man's words stopped. He was looking for the right reason, but could not find.
Finally, Rafi honestly spoke soberly. "I'm just making sure Alea's situation. Just keep saying that I want to be financially responsible. That's it, Bro," Rafi said honestly.
Rian raised both eyebrows. "Related?" ask Rian to make sure.
"Yes, already. It's just a prayer, I swear." Rafi even dared to swear because that was all she said when she contacted Alea last afternoon.
Rian took a long breath. "But, Bro. Without you realizing it, by contacting Alea again it indirectly you make her wish again the same you. For example, yesterday he tried to start healing his wounds, now the wound is wet again. Understand right?" At length, Rian explained.
Rafi could only bow while twirling the spoon inside the cup. The man seemed to think for a moment.
"So what am I supposed to do, Rian?" rafi asked as if her mind was deadlocked. Liked two women made him confused seven roving.
"That's why you stay away from Alea. Don't ever call him again. That's point. Pity him, Fi. He is begging with you. She's a girl, she shouldn't be rich." Carefully and slowly, Rian explained what Rafi should do.
They continued their conversation casually. No longer discussing the problems between Rafi, Rian, and Alea.
No doubt, it's been two hours they've been there. Raisa has contacted Rafi twice for fear of anything happening. Moreover, he had no time to permit the woman.
"Udah called Raisa, Bro. I'll go back first, yeah. You take good care of Alea," said Rafi as she stood up.
"Okay, remember my message." They separated from each other after that.

Elsewhere, Alea was laying on a soft mattress. He was busy looking at his phone screen. There was the figure of her and Rian's face on the phone screen.
"Honey?" lirih Alea continued to look at her and Rafi's self-portraits. "Let's go back like we used to."
Alea's feelings for the man had already settled down for too long. It's been raining too deep, making it difficult to escape his own love.
It was so hard to control his feelings. Although he knew that Rafi already had a wife, but he already loved the man before Raisa. It's just that fate wasn't on Alea's side, it was on Raisa's side.
"Why is the world so evil." Alea continued to grumble to herself. Her tears had been flowing from earlier.
I want to pour out my whole heart to someone who can understand me. But what is power. He has no one. No family, no friends.
There was indeed a Rian who was always there for him. But, he felt Rian was not the right person to talk to from heart to heart.
The woman cried and pondered for a long time, until she finally fell asleep.
After about half an hour of slumbering, Alea was then woken up by the ringing on her loud phone.
With his eyes still faint, he fumbled his phone on the bed. He could see, there was Rian's name on the phone screen.
After pressing the green button to pick up the phone from Rian, he attached the flat object to his left ear. Then, his eyes closed again because he felt sleepy.
"Hello, Alea?" greet Rian from the other end of the phone.
"Hem?" sahut Alea. He is very sleepy now.
"You're all right, right? Have you eaten yet?" rian asked attentively. The question was not just to make small talk, but sincere from his heart that he wanted to ascertain whether Alea had eaten or not.
"I? Hmm...have it been or haven't, huh?" said Alea by trying to remember. Both of his eyes were open now.
Meanwhile, Rian had just finished taking a shower. He was wearing shorts and a casual t-shirt. "Well or not, Alea? Don't eat late, okay?"
"Don't know, forgot. I'm not hungry either." The woman changed the position to tilt to the right.
"Definitely not yet, huh?" ask Rian. "What do I want to eat?"
