After I fulfilled my duty as a human being to the Creator, there was actually a bit of relief in my heart that had been eating away at my mind, constantly thinking how to behave at this time.
The Brian I'm calling right now is a man from the past who I only take for a quick glance as a ... A lecturer? The sister? A protector? who liked to interfere in my past life and almost destroyed my ex-husband's life at that time.
At that time he was only good intentions, against if only I was the victim here in a row, already harassed forced to marry my own friend, he felt mentally fell over all intimidation, he felt I fell over all intimidation, according to Brian who strongly upholds the profession.
Although it was ultimately me who couldn't forget Dicky, and didn't know where else to turn this thought, he just misbehaved with everything I'd known about him for years, the forgotten goodness of his own self.
It's not fair to continue to reflect on the self that is stuck in the past, I now rise after five years of self-fighting, no one can manage my life anymore, enough!

Dinner
I picked one of the closest restaurants from the office, because you do not want to be too tired to get stuck in traffic and to make it easier to continue our journey home from the Gatot Subroto Road to immediately enter the direction of the Cawang toll gate afterwards.
Restaurant L***, just relaxed enough to avoid feeling formal after so many years of not meeting, I guess ... Brian also does not know many locations of restaurants like this, he is not used to eat haphazardly outside of my heart.
“Bri ... eh .. Are you comfortable to eat out like this? is it okay?”
“Hmh? why indeed? Ah yes obviously you do not know anything about me now, ‘kan?” a small smile on one corner of her thin lips.
“News dong... don't I know anything about ka—mu ... for five years now, and it's strange that we met by chance in the same office, don't you think?”
“Maybe it's the way it is, believe destiny?” Look warm and smile.
“Yahhh believe lah... just feel like in the movies if everything happens hahaha”
“Then, God is the best director ... “
“Definitely, yes! well ... Since when are you in Indonesia? you know, me and Adam even have no contact at all, how is he also?”
“Adam ... good, very good, and .. I actually came back six months ago, taking care of everything I've left for years, I can't imagine if there wasn't Adam, I'm sure it's all messed up. Oh yeah, I have one more Assistant named Leo, but he's temporarily replacing Adam's position for standby on some of my business, it's time Adam took a break ... he's just my personal assistant now.”
“Wah ... You guys are busy for sure, but how can you be the Mentor of our company HR team?”
“Eh .. yes .. yes as I said earlier, happen to hehe, come on .. talk to others, how are you now?” smile back by showing a row of small teeth.
“I? ah, ordinary, work ... home .. sleep .. tomorrow work again, what?”
“Something else?”
“What?” I try to relax behind my nervousness.
“More personal?” humbling his voice, his gaze looked at my expression.
“I don’t get it, please hahaha”
“Nothing, forget it .. “ instantly his face changed like he was not interested in continuing the question earlier.
“Still moody? are you ... sure things are better, Bri?”
“What? what is OCD disease? hahaha .. hahaha hear Sue’ ... I think Adam told ya all about it?”
“That was, I want to know your progress now?”
“Yeah, that problem was solved two years ago, in fact I am fine, I am, the powerful suggestions I've been getting all along come from irresponsible people who are addressing themselves as Psychiatrists, they're just paid people, I don't know where they came from but they failed to trick me until the last time five years ago”
“Again, why can't you observe yourself anyway, I wonder ... until you are really made as a person with OCD disease, eventhough there’s nothing happened with you”
“It’s a real big impact, you know what I do until a little easy to panic? afraid of being dirty, unable to start a relationship with any woman, until the last day .. I'm sure .. I can touch a woman, thank you ... “ Brian put his hand on my hand on the table and rubbed it smooth.
‘It turns out it was true back then, he didn't lie about his first kiss’
I threw away my eyes, looking down embarrassedly mixed in wonder with his attitude that became more aggressive like this.
‘whatever he did in London, did he end up blind to women after he felt capable?’
The atmosphere of silence for a moment was crumbling when the restaurant waiter came to serve the food we ordered. During that dinner it seemed like a lot of things I could finally deduce myself, this was a different time, when adult men were talking to the opposite sex who were in the same phase of adulthood, the taste and manner were much different when I was an early-level student with her Lecturer.
****
I waved as he passed by with his vehicle that night, I don't know if tomorrow we'll meet back at the office, but I can't help but offer him to stop by because it's been quite the night, anyway, and I learned to keep the ethics of receiving night-time guests at my parents' house.

POV Author
Shortly after Brian arrived at his residence, he contacted someone.
Brian [Adam, where are you ]
Adam [When on his way from the NGO to the house, how was it today, sir? ]
Brian [Successful, thanks Adam, now ..he looks beautiful, thank God I can still control myself not to be too hasty to make a decision, it would be strange for him ]
Adam [Both master, be patient .. All women need time to adjust, do not be too curious about his life even though we already know hahaha ]
Brian [Yes, I almost asked a lot just want to know what kind of response he was, but indeed everything about him has changed a lot, appearance, way of speaking, all his attitudes almost make me stunned, he said, he has been successful in fighting for himself ]
Adam [So how? you happy today? ]
Brian [Not only happy .. Your work is very satisfying .. I wonder where you can know everything about it ]
Adam [Geez it's easy, do I need to give his social media account also to the master, even the password if necessary hahaha ]
Brian [Substantial sloppy, hahaha .. he must have mistakenly confirmed a friendship with someone like you yeah, uh hey..
Adam [Hahaha no, where dare I .. You don't even need to tell about many changes in appearance, I already know first ]
Brian [Bro, seriously you don't fuck around! don't talk to him behind my back ]
Adam [Silent ... calm .. we were friends in one gaming community, he didn't recognize me with that fake account, but he was still the same person he was in cyberspace, barely changed, hahaha ]
Brian [Oyeah? wah ... so different from what I saw earlier, he is more mature and authoritative, even .. he tends to cover his personal life, so I am confused to approach him in what way ]
Adam [Make a little surprise sir, he likes surprises ]
Brian [ That? hmm... okay, what if ... you find a place where we can spend more time together, so don't Dinner ]
Adam [I'll prepare a little nostalgia sir, just wait ]
Brian [Bro, you've prepared a mature plan apparently hahaha ]
Adam [What do I not know about you trying? impatient master hahaha I command them, just wait for news ]
Brian [Ah, curious ... cheat you! hahaha Nostalgia .. how will it be ... ]
Adam [Sabaaar .. sabaaar .. impatient master hahaha ]
Brian [The more days the more presumptuous you hahaha ... uh, how is your relationship with Leo? ]
Adam [What relationship? I am gay! next time don't bring the imported master, it's hard to communicate! ]
Brian [Find it, Adam! haha ]
