My Little Girlfriend

71. Thumping Without Thought

"I.., I won't stop here." Said Bian with a determined expression.

He recalled his encounter with his two childhood friends, who had both been imprinted in his heart. Although different time and place, in fact it is still so impregnated in his heart, until it has unconsciously messed with his feelings.

"I didn't expect to be confused by my own feelings." He smiled in disbelief at himself, then tried to divert him to the job he had lived.

Bian returned to busy himself as usual, by moment to divert the feelings that had disturbed him.

The thing he thought was simple, but it turned out to be more complicated than he thought. In reassuring his true feelings, he took even longer to understand. However, now he seemed to be enlightened by the anxiety that had plagued his heart and also his feelings. Which turned out not just a friendship in the past, but also the memories that were with him, so full of deep meaning that it was stored in the corner of his heart, which eventually led to a sense of attraction that existed.

The attraction is true only because it has long been stored in his heart. However, without him noticing with time, he had been able to shake his frozen heart.

"I thought love was simple? But it's more complicated than I thought."

......................

In the morning, 08:00.

"Sorry sir, are you calling me?" Said Kinan facing Bian as soon as he arrived at the hotel.

"Yes, please sit down, there are things I want to discuss for a while with you and also Dimas later." Pinta Bian, then pointed at a chair asking Kinan to sit down.

Kinan obeyed Bian's orders, then sat down on a chair waiting for Dimas to come to them who were about to meet.

"While waiting for Dimas who was retrieving the file I requested, I asked you to learn this." Bian said giving a paper to Kinan, but what surprised him was that he chose to sit next to Kinan, and shared the same chair, unlike usual who always sat in a single chair.

Kinan received the paper given by Bian with a slightly surprised expression, but immediately tried to stay calm and refocus with his work, although there is still a sense of discomfort and awkward because sitting close enough to Bian. He could not even hide his awkwardness, by continuing to put on a tense face. But his face became calmer when he glanced at Bian who was beside him, looking focused on his work and showing a calm expression. Kinan was finally able to sigh in relief because of that, though without him knowing that Bian who was beside him also felt the same but pretended to be cold with no expression.

"Sir, about this.."

"What's wrong?"

The two turned their heads together, until they subconsciously looked at each other in close proximity, which finally created an awkward atmosphere for the two. There was no sound in a few seconds between the two, until it involuntarily made the room feel quiet.

"Ah, I seem to have understood, just now it seems like I was in too much of a hurry. Sorry." Kinan quickly turned his gaze away, when he accidentally came face to face with Bian. However, it did not seem that it was the only thing that made him awkward, because he who had been stared fixedly by Bian earlier, even very intense, to shock him when he saw it.

The atmosphere returned to silence when Kinan no longer spoke and refocused on his work, as if the thing that had made them in an awkward atmosphere had never happened. But from the side Bian looks unable to take his eyes off Kinan who is now sitting beside him, as if he immediately wants to say something.

"Actually I also have something personal that I want to tell you." Said Bian put back the paper he had read, and turned to look at Kinan.

Feeling that gaze from his right side, made Kinan look back at Bian's face with a little awkwardness. How not, because Bian who was now looking at him fully fixed and so deep felt foreign to him who had just first got that look, especially with their current situation that was quite awkward.

"Em.., can I talk outside of work for a minute?" Said Bian trying to dilute their awkward and stiff atmosphere, with a little talk outside of work.

Kinan's eyes looked at Bian in surprise, "I-iya, please." He answered without being able to refuse, although he was a bit confused.

"Damn, what am I confused myself to say? Talk outside of work? What am I really thinking try?" The mind fights with its own mind.

He did not even dare to look at Kinan as he felt a bit awkward, after randomly asking to chat outside of work. However, he became thinking of something when trying to find a discussion.

"Ah, about the necklace you gave me, don't you like the necklace?" Said later.

"No sir, I like it, but it's not mine, so I'm giving it back to you." Kinan refuted quickly and was a little surprised to hear the question from Bian earlier, so he spontaneously answered it directly.

"really? Thank goodness then." Reply Bian smiled down on him, then he stood up from his seat to somewhere to take something.

"Then I return the necklace again." Said Bian returning Kinan's padlock pendulum necklace.

Kinan immediately stood up as Bian thrust a box at him, and received the box containing his necklace with a slight surprise mixed in confusion staring at Bian.

"Why? Don't you like it?" Bian asked looking at Kinan's expression which looked puzzled.

"Ah, that's not that I don't like, but the necklace is yours, and he said I should return it to you. But, why..?"

Bian smiled hearing that. "Do you remember this?" He said, pointing at the lock-roofed necklace he was wearing on his neck.

Kinan certainly felt surprised to see the lock necklace which is a pair of pendulum necklace padlock her neatly attached to the neck Bian.

"Because it's a couple that's why I wear it" Bian said as if answering Kinan's shock.

"I returned the necklace to you because from the beginning I had no intention of taking it. Don't you remember the promise I said before? Also the promise you made was the same as me?" His voice again looked at Kinan who looked still confused by what he saw.

"Eh," Again he put on a shocked face when Bian said his promise first.

"Ah, I know you must have forgotten." Bian could only smile at Kinan who was silent and looked confused.

"I promised you I'd give you a gift when we meet again, so I asked you to take good care of the necklace. So, I'm asking you to take care of her instead of taking her." Obviously Bian.

"Ah, yes. Now I remember it." Kinan answered when he heard Bian's explanation.

"really? In that case, do you also remember the promise you made to me first?"
