"Hello Giandra, why are you sitting next to my girl?"
The sudden appearance of Jovan, managed to surprise the four people on the table. Simultaneously, they stared at Jovan who was currently staring at Giandra intently.
"There's no rule I can't sit here, right? This is a public place, anyone can sit anywhere" Giandra replied as he looked at Jovan.
Jovan nodded his head in agreement, the man stared one by one at the table. He shook his head for quite a long time staring at Aretha, the girl who the past few days had left him half-dead. Feeling very surprised because the longer love Aretha, the more beautiful figure and Jovan can realize that more and more people like the girl. Surely it makes Jovan feel the threat, the more people who like Aretha, the more chances for him to lose the girl. Because from the beginning, there was no chance in his relationship with Aretha.
However, there is something that plagues Jovan's heart. He was too confused to choose the most appropriate choice in the face of his love. Does god? Or love?
"What business are you doing here?" Ask Jovan at last.
Giandra smiled at his smile "didn't I say yes? I'm here to see a girlfriend" he said.
"Who do you call Gi's girlfriend?" Jovan's question began to stir up emotions. Even his two hands, had now been clenched perfectly.
Giandra got up from his seat, then stood right in front of Jovan "should you know the position lo Jo. From the beginning you two will have no hope" he said, holding both of Jovan's shoulders.
Jovan grimaced not liking to hear the words of his friend. With an exasperated expression, he said "it's my business and he, you don't have to worry too much Gi, I can take care of our relationship. And I hope, you don't get too involved in my business and Aretha" he recalled.
Giandra raised both hands in the air, then looked at Jovan and Aretha alternately "you have love, but the world has a norm.you have a desire, but Religion has rules" he said before finally stepping away.
But before leaving, Giandra had whispered something to Aretha "pick up my phone later tonight, we talk about the study tour of the children of Mahardika" his message.
With his annoying face, Giandra looked at Jovan for a moment, then patted the man's right shoulder. Before he finally left, regardless of the gazes of those around him. The appearance of Giandra certainly made Aretha's head sick, he appeared suddenly and destroyed everything in Aretha's mind and heart.
What Giandra said is true, Aretha admits it. However, wasn't Giandra too meddling? They had only met once, when they were teaching the children of Mahardika a few days ago. Their relationship is not that close, so Giandra's behavior seems to be Freak and annoying. Compared to liking her figure, it grew seeds of hatred in Aretha's heart. Well, hopefully, Giandra can get back to his right mind, so that the feeling of hatred in his heart will soon be healed.
"Can we talk for a second?" Jovan asked as he looked at the clingy Aretha.
Sisil and Bella, who were aware of the situation, finally moved from her seat and moved their seats, bringing their ordered food.
"It's just relaxing, two hours ahead is still free" whispered Bella before leaving Aretha and Jovan.
The man finally sat on the chair in front of Aretha "have you eaten?" Ask.
Aretha shook her head, accompanied by her puckered mouth "yet, my food was eaten with Giandra" she said.
Jovan exhaled in annoyance, why is Giandra always interrupting other people's days? Can't he live in peace and quiet? Looks like Giandra will die if it just sits sweet.
"I'm a pesenin huh? What do you want to eat?"
"Emmm, just batagor"
Jovan nodded his head assenting, then stood up from his seat and walked towards the batagor stand. After ordering food for him and Aretha, Jovan again walked to where Aretha was sitting.
"During this time Giandra bullied you?" He asked after sitting himself before Aretha.
"No, I'm also surprised that he's suddenly here" replied Aretha with a sling of her head.
"He always appears uninvited and goes missing without being expelled" Jovan said.
Aretha laughed happily at Jovan's joke. Seeing Aretha laughing happily, managed to make both corners of Jovan's lips lifted perfectly. "On her invitation to date, would you like to?" ask Jovan seriously.
Aretha was silent for a while, before finally shaking her head "no, you will know who I like" he replied.
"But you know that too? If you like me, Tha must be sick. Do you realize that our relationship never had a chance?"
Aretha took a deep breath, then exhaled it. With a very beautiful smile, she looked at Jovan "If you love someone, Jo hurts a lot. You know why? For you have found yourself in your heart, in the deepest place. The most distant, to the point that you don't realize that he's already a part of yourself"
"Tha, no matter how much we like someone, if he is not the right house, if he is not the right way home, you will eventually return to find the right way home. And if one day you don't know where to lean, lest I'll always be behind your shoulders. So, you can be selfish Tha, you can give up. If you want to leave, you can choose to leave" with your head down, Jovan said something he didn't know himself, whether he would be able to face the consequences of what he just said.
A few minutes Aretha fell silent in her gloom, overwhelmed by her own thoughts. He knew, he knew if this talk, they would definitely pass by someday. However, the girl did not expect that this conversation, would happen this fast. No matter how many times they try to avoid it, reality cannot change anything. The fact if they were both different beliefs, would never change at any time.
As forcefully as Aretha held back her tears from falling, with a slight quiver, she stared fixedly at Jovan "where are you going Jo?" Ask. There's no way Jovan would say any of this, unless there's an incident that would require them to decide as quickly as possible. Perhaps, the reason Jovan asked all this, was because the man was about to go far away.
There was the sound of Jovan breathing, with her face she looked at Aretha. "I, haven't decided yet Tha. But, I'm afraid you're disappointed"
Aretha took a deep breath while taking it out. A crisp laugh came out of his mouth "get on any hemisphere. During whatever. Whatever extent. But if we both do not have a home, and find a solution to this difference. Go home and come back to me. I'm. But if one of us has his home, or we have no solution to this difference. Then you don't go home and come back. Let's both forget and let each other down"
