Arriving at the restaurant, Mario held back a sense of resentment. Mario was a drag because Ken wasn't honest from the start. Turns out, the meeting with Lovey was still seven p.m. While at this time the clock that is circular in hand still shows at half-seven p.m. With casual style outfits, Mario and Ken sit in a restaurant and have to wait for Lovey half an hour.
"Nasi goreng pattaya one. One chocolate cheese toast. Continue ... Avocado juice is two glasses." Ken mentioned the order. "Bro, what do you want to order?"
"No." Short, dense, clear, and accompanied by a firm expression.
"That's it, Ma'am. My friend is on a diet like that." Ken handed the menu book back to the waiter.
"good. Please wait for a moment" said the restaurant waiter kindly.
As the waiter of the restaurant, Ken watched the seemingly closed Mario. Mario also holds hands. Unfriendly faces are also displayed.
"Ehem." Ken's beating.
Deheman's got Mario's eyes open. No longer closed, even now showing a smile.
"It's over, Ken?" ask Mario.
"Yes not yet. The food hasn't come."
"Other meals in my house. No need to be confused. Anjani doesn't mind either." Mario chose to muffle his annoyance, and display friendliness.
"Just calm down, Bro. I rarely get confused. Especially in your home. I just don't want to bother Anjani for today. Tomorrow, yes don't ask."
Mario shook his head to hear Ken's confession. Like that Ken, annoying, but fun to be friends with.
Beyond a doubt, Lovey apparently arrived early. Ken's food order hasn't even come yet.
There is awkwardness when Lovey and Mario meet a vision. Tonight was the first time they met again after sin in the nursery. A shameful mistake, which has been agreed to be kept secret.
"Sit down! Don't you fucking talk!" Ken reprimands Lovey, as well as breaking the awkwardness that had occurred.
"Yes." Yeah." Lovey picked a seat next to Ken.
"Have you ordered food?" ask Lovey then.
"Only Ken has the message" said Mario.
Lovey was silent. Suddenly at a loss for words because of the voice of Mario who stole the attention. To be honest, Lovey's feelings are falling apart right now. There were two men at the same table as her. One of them is Ken, his heart. However, between Ken and Mario, whose charm is more shining precisely Mario.
"Lovey. Hey ...." Ken shook his hands in front of Lovey's face.
"Hm. What's?" Lovey who was originally riled up in his head bow, immediately raised his face.
"I ordered watermelon juice, yeah." Ken's friendly, offering Lovey.
"Juice avocado only, Ken. Du ... Em, I mean one glass."
"Cie. Our taste buds start the same, huh."
"Don't tell me that, ah! How will I be baper?" Lovey bluntly. Slowly, his attention to Mario was distracted. Mario's charm is shining, but in the end Ken is the more dominant to note.
"Ehem. You want paper, right?" Ken dares to tease Lovey.
"Boddoh, uh! It's the time it's been bargained for, anyway." Lovey pretended to be upset, but his heart was excited.
"Ehem!"
That's deheman Mario. Lovey and Ken who heard the deheman immediately turned their heads together.
"sorry. Can your affection be delayed?" Mario intentionally said so.
"Who's friendly, anyway?" Lovey gerogi's.
"Yes, who's so friendly!" Ken goes with gerogi.
"As far as you guys. Now, I want to hear an explanation." Mario stared at Lovey. There is no anger, only seriousness.
Lovey understands the direction of the conversation. Although Lovey had only told Ken about Anjani being followed by the man in the hat, Ken must have told Mario. Moreover, Mario status as Anjani's husband. He is the one who has the right to know this.
"I'm sure it was the Dewangga. The one trailing Anjani is very similar to Dewangga. I can recognize him even though he's wearing a hat and his usual clothes."
"You sure you didn't see it wrong, Vey?" Mario is getting serious.
"I'm sure it was the Dewangga. Twice. The first one after the restaurant when I met Anjani. The second, yesterday when Anjani came home from the internship. I accidentally saw her when I wanted to meet a relationship."
"Instead, huh? But what's he doing that for?" Mario seemed to think.
"Eitherway. I don't know either. But, we also can not just accuse because there is no evidence. It is better to temporarily give special care to Anjani." Lovey seriously argues, because he was worried about Anjani.
"I will definitely do it" said Mario.
Ken became a listener. His heart was pierced with the name of the Deity mentioned.
"Name resemblance could have happened. But, may I know what kind of a Deity you mean? Actually I myself also have an acquaintance whose name is Dewangga." Ken made a sound in the end.
Lovey shook his head, then said that he did not keep his picture. Mario's explanation is not much different either. Neither Lovey nor Mario had a photo of the Dewangga. However, Mario has his own way to get his picture. Not long after the voice call made by Mario, a photo featuring the face of Dewangga was received.
"I got it!"
Mario makes another voice call, and across the street is Uncle Li ready to go on a mission.
"I need two, Uncle. Just have the uncle's bodyguards watch from a distance. Anjani definitely doesn't like it when it's over-controlled." There was a pause for a while because Uncle Li gave an explanation. "Just start tomorrow morning. I trust Uncle Li. Before, thank you very much for your help." Mario ended the call.
Lovey and Ken can only put on a face amazed by Mario's quickness in arranging a guard for Anjani. Not until minutes everything you want is immediately fulfilled. Including bodyguards and guarding strategies for Anjani.
"Gillaa, Bro. You look like Mr. Jin bottle. One click on the phone, directly on the goal. The power of the moneyed is indeed guillaa!" Ken's head bobbles.
"Thank you for the compliment, Ken."
"Eh, where's the Dewangga's picture? Look dong!"
Ken receives Mario's smartphone. As soon as Dewangga's face appeared on the screen, Ken immediately recognized him as the Dewangga he knew. Ken auto splash alone.
"When did you know him?" Mario asks for clarity.
"I have known Dewangga since a business trip out of town. That, you know. The one you had to throw high heels on until you passed out. That afternoon you ... Ehem."
Lovey directly choked on avocado juice. Ken's assertion made him remember everything about himself and Mario. About the debt of life because of salvation, to sin in the treatment room.
"Never discuss that one again." Lovey offered Ken a glass of avocado juice to drink.
Mario's attitude is different again. Not a baper like Lovey. Mario is still focused on his question about Ken who knows Dewangga.
"How many times did you meet Dewangga after that, Ken? Where have you met, and what did you talk about when you met?" Mario leaned Ken with a question.
Seeing the seriousness of Mario, making Ken serious also in answering it. Ken claimed to have only met Dewangga four times after the beginning of their meeting. Because Ken considers Dewangga as a friend who is good at trading business, their chat is not far from the business they are running.
"I often show him the presentation plans I make. Just asking for advice," I'm Ken.
"What?!" Mario was really shocked this time.
"Eh? Who is this man, anyway? Is he dangerous?" Ken does not know that Dewangga is a former relationship Mario and Lovey who likes to justify a sneaky way to reap profits on his side.
"Ken, from now on never show the company's presentation design to anyone. We never know what company's enemies are wearing. It's safer to stay alert." Mario's worries began to spread everywhere, including in his company.
Lovey added a little, also asserting that Dewangga is a former relation who has been cheating on cooperation contracts. Lovey also told me about the attitude of Dewangga who is not at all worth to be invited to cooperate.
"Wad. Then I chose the wrong friend, dong." Ken became panicked himself after knowing the facts about the Dewangga.
"You just don't know it yet, Ken. No, don't feel guilty." Lovey's drowned out Ken's panic.
"Hufts. Thankfully, you are here. So someone defended me. Otherwise, Mario would have been ranting indistinctly because I was not careful." Ken smiled sweetly, and was immediately replied with a sweet smile by Lovey.
"Ehem."
"You better get married. Such gazes make the devil more seductive spirit," said Mario.
"Huh?" Ken and Lovey compactly say ha.
"Me-married?" Ken the bar-bar, who had a lot of stock words to make a reply, instantly stammered over the deg-degan.
"Husses. Speaking of what the hell. We're talking about Anjani. How to talk about marriage, anyway." Lovey's heart was pounding as he said so. A little regretful with the choice of words spoken. Lovey also condemns himself for not being able to be honest about feelings.
"Yes, tuh. Lovey's right. We're talking Anjani." Ken felt wistful about what he was doing. It was intensive to make an approach, now it does not acknowledge feelings.
Ken and Lovey's attitude did not go unnoticed by Mario. Although equally evasive, Mario can feel that there is an unusual taste in their hearts. However, Mario could not be presumptuous to interfere in the affairs of their hearts. Mario chose to let it go.
"As far as you guys. My advice is only one. Stop lying about feelings. Acknowledging it is better than secretly harboring."
Mario wisely gave advice. In this position, Mario has experienced, and has managed to conquer the heart of Anjani by boldly expressing feelings.
"meaning?" Again Ken and Lovey compact said.
Mario smile. "You think for yourself. I'll take my leave first. Excuse me."
Just standing from his seat, Mario added. "Vey, thank you. From now on, be good friends with Anjani."
Lovey nodded. There is a sense of relief in Lovey after Mario said so. Perhaps, it is time to forget all the debts and sins with Mario. Yes, it should be forgotten soon. Inner Lovey.
"Ken, you come with me home. Now!" Mario's orders.
"Fried rice pattaya my order just came, nih." Ken protest.
"Vey, do you want to finish Ken's fried rice? I'm afraid he's fat because he's eating too much." Mario suddenly said that.
"OKAY. With pleasure." Lovey grabs a plate of fried rice that is still in Ken's grasp.
Ken's confused. I don't think about what Mario did. Ken was about to protest again, but Mario first pulled an arm, making Ken inevitably have to follow the steps rather than make a fuss.
"Because, Bro. You've arranged a guard for Anjani. Keep telling me what else? Promise me, I'll be more vigilant with the same name as Dehangga." Ken just protested in the parking lot.
"It's good if you understand. Now, come with me to take the order."
"Huh. Spoiled! Tumben didn't ask Anjani for anther, " said Ken.
"If I take Anjani, it won't be a surprise anymore, Ken."
"Surprise?" Ken seemed to think, and immediately understood what Mario was thinking. "Aha, if so stop by the florist as well, yeah. I also want to give you something." Ken is excited this time.
The clock still shows at half-eight in the evening. Mario's car drove at a moderate pace, heading for a store to pick up an order of goods. Not to forget, Mario also stopped by the flower shop, drove Ken to buy something there.
Arriving at home, Mario does not go straight to the room. Mario first talks with Gun, as well as looking for information about someone who might be suspected.
"Mas, I've finished the design. As per your advice. Have a look!" Anjani greeted Mario with enthusiasm while showing the results of his design.
"It's good, honey. I'm sure your design will be chosen." Mario praised Anjani.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Ohya, Honey. Why don't you tell me there's some freak trailing?"
"How do you know?"
"Mr Gun's need to tell."
Anjani. He deliberately did not tell stories for fear of adding to Mario's mind. After all, Anjani does not know for sure whether the car the other day was really trailing or just coincidentally in the direction of Anjani's car.
"Sorry, Mom."
"Next time tell me. Our communication needs to be kept awake. Not only about sweet things, something like this must still be conveyed as well." Mario advises Anjani.
"Yes, Mas. Next time I'll tell you."
"From tomorrow, I've set up maximum guard for you. Won't be flashy. They'll only look after you remotely."
Anjani. He only complied because he had felt the experience of being kidnapped before. Of course Anjani does not want the same thing to happen a second time. Anjani really appreciates Mario's efforts to prepare a guard for him.
"Thank you, Mum. But, still leave maximum guard only to Him. He, the Most Protecting. And .. don't forget also the power of prayer. We trust each other. God willing, everything will be fine."
Mario smiled, then agreed.
"Wait here for a second, yeah. I have something I want to show you."
"Yes, Mum."
Mario out of the room. Heading to the car to pick up some items that have been prepared. There were cakes, bouquets of flowers, and some gifts that had been wrapped in brightly colored paper.
Chequek!
Mario opens the door and ...
"Surprise!" sama later.
"Maassa!" Anjani shut her mouth because she was happy because of the surprise from her husband.
"Happy milad, honey."
Anjani.
"The temple is small, Mas."
"I deliberately chose the small. Because the big thing is my love for you. I love you, my wife."
"Hide. Heart touched. You're really smart at seducing."
Furthermore, the gifts for Anjani were given. Not something fancy, just an ordinary necklace with a simple design. Mario put the necklace on with a friendly attitude. Other gifts are also available. There are several body mist scents of Moringa Flowers and a bouquet of red roses.
"I'm sorry, I'm not good at making surprises. I hope this little gift of mine can make you a little happy."
No more words were spoken from Anjani's mouth. Mario's treatment really makes him happy, as well as filled with gratitude. In a spontaneous reply, Anjani also gave a hug.
"Oyeah, Honey. Ken also gave you a gift."
"really? Waaaah." Anjani displays a face of spirit.
He thought Ken would give something special, like last year. In fact, what Ken gave me was a flower of shoes. Yeah, just a sprig, and it looks withered.
"It's from Ken. Sorry, the flowers clamped the door."
Anjani receives Ken's flowers with a frown. "Sir Ken peliiiiit."
"Haha." Mario laughs crisply.
Barakallah Fii Umrik 🎂
Connect ....
Happy Milad for Anjani and his author. Does anyone want to give a surprise or a surprise gift?? Hehe #hopeful 😁
