Adnan was quite surprised to hear the words of Bian, even had a speechless because he still did not believe what he heard. He was even still trying to digest the sentence said by Bian.
"The person you like? What's that supposed?" He spoke amidst his shock.
"I'm in love with a woman." Reply Bian looked at Adnan beside him.
"What do you mean by falling in love? Then how do you feel about..." Adnan paused his sentence which seemed to hold back his confusion when he saw the answer from Bian.
"On Adel, don't you like it?" Adnan resumed his sentence.
"True, I did like him, but I just realized that I didn't love him."
Adnan was stunned to hear it, the expression he could make right now was a sense of confusion over the sentence Bian said. His body seemed to be fixated, and his feelings suddenly became clouded.
"What do you mean by talking like that? Aren't you waiting for Adel, because he likes it?" With his calm, Adnan again asked Bian the reason.
"You, yourself, how do you feel about Adel? Do you still like it?" However, Bian turned to ask her.
Adnan was silent, his lips frozen from the words.
"Why even discuss this, right here I'm again asking about your feelings for Adel?"
This time, it was Bian's turn to be silent. He tried to rethink the question.
"I still like him, but only as a friend." Bian said honestly to Adnan.
"...."
Instantly the atmosphere became silent and silent. Both are in the mind of each with various things that interfere with their feelings. Both, Bian and Adnan became swept away in each other's minds. Especially for Adnan who looks still quite surprised at the attitude and words of Bian.
"You... still like Adel, right?"
After being silent for a moment, Bian tried to open up the chat.
"Yes, I still like it." Adnan said it honestly, though hesitant to say it.
"Good, maybe it's best for Adel that it's just you." Bian looked at his best friend with a faint smile. However, for Adnan who saw it just looks strange.
"So, about you falling in love with a woman is not a lie?"
Bian tilted the corners of his lips, and showed a slight smile when Adnan still doubted his words.
"I'm serious about that."
"Is this why you invited me to meet?"
"True, I want to tell you about this, especially if I also want to confide in you, about my turmoil that will leave the woman if I so move to the headquarters later." Obviously Bian was still with his disheartened face.
"On the woman? Do I know him too?"
"No, you don't know him."
"How can you be sure that you're in love with her? You haven't been more than 3 months?"
"I knew him from childhood, for one thing, it made me interested in him."
Adnan, who was sitting next to Bian, explained the difference in expression shown by Bian. Seeing Bian put on a blushing face and his shy smile when discussing the person he loved, made him slightly fixated. Clarify for him, about Bian who is in love with someone.
"Why did your feelings suddenly shift? Have you liked Adel for a long time?"
Adnan was silent, because he knew very well how Bian would endure his feelings for Adel, so he never liked other women during his time in Canada. Despite being attracted to each other, Adnan was surprised when Adel continued to reject Bian's feelings.
"Who do you mean? You said you've known him from childhood, but why haven't I seen him?"
"Because you weren't there at the time. I met him when I went with my family to visit the orphanage that got a lot of attention from my extended family."
"The orphanage? Is this a story about 21 years ago?"
"True, she's the little girl I used to know."
"Wait, isn't that Adel? Didn't you ever say that to me?"
"I thought it was Adel at first, but it wasn't."
"So..., because of that, what ultimately made you fall in love with that woman?"
"At first it wasn't, but after meeting up with her, I became more interested in her."
"Is it just because Adel wasn't the childhood friend you knew back then, so you don't like him anymore?" Surprisingly Adnan was a little angry when he saw the reply from Bian.
Bian was quite surprised when he heard Adnan talk like that to him. He immediately looked towards Adnan, who was beside him.
"Why do you say that? This has nothing to do with it, even though I like Kinan because there are memories in the past, but that does not mean I stay away from Adel because he is not the little girl friend I used to know. I still like him, but as a friend."
"Kinan, so that's his name?" Adnan smiled wryly and tried to hold back his angry feelings. "But isn't what you're doing all of a sudden? You waited for Adel for more than 2 years, and now you're saying you've been in love with a woman for only 3 months you've met, is that possible?" Adnan looked at Bian with an expression asking for clearer clarity.
Bian stared silently at Adnan who suddenly became angry at him. "Why are you getting angry? Shouldn't this be good news for those of you who like Adel?"
"I like him, but do you know that Adel likes you better."
"He doesn't like me."
"What?" Adnan looked confusedly at Bian.
"If she likes me as a couple, she may have accepted me a long time ago, not the one that hangs up and keeps rejecting me like this."
Adnan was at a loss for words, because Bian's words seemed to have a point.
"She doesn't like me, so I gave up on how I felt about her. Moreover, I only realized that my feelings for her were not love, but a love for a friend."
Hearing the explanation from Bian, made Adnan become calmer and no longer put an angry facial expression on Bian.
"So that guy you like, his name is Kinan?" Adna tries to open a tense conversation between herself and Bian.
"Yes, his name is Kinan."
"Then, how is it now? Are you tied to each other in a relationship?"
"Not yet, I'm still waiting for him."
"Well! Meanin?"
"I just got rejected by him."
"Refused? So he doesn't like you, does he?"
"Yes, why do I keep getting rejected by people I like?" Bian could only sigh long.
