My skin

Part 2

Gathering

When he looked up, it was already three in the afternoon. Because Ares is too busy, he almost forgets time. He hasn't had lunch either. While packing Ares' phone flashing signifies a message coming in.

He opened it immediately. It turned out that it was a message from Handoyo who sent a photo to Ares also reminded about his meeting with the girl of his choice.

Ares sighed softly, putting his phone on the table continuing to pack. As Rian walked in, he blinked his eyes.

"Boss, where are you going?" Rian asked as he entered to deliver the documents again to Ares.

"Back home!" Sahut Ares brief.

Rian frowned, this is not usually the boss coming home at this time. "Isn't the boss having a meeting at the cafe. Why go home." Rian spontaneously reminded.

Ares is done tidying up his desk. He looked at Rian with a glare. "Oh Boss." Rian did not dare to return Ares' gaze.

"I know." replied Ares. He immediately grabbed the suit he put on the back of the chair and put it on. He glanced at the documents Rian was holding.

"What's that?" Ask Ares.

Rian lowered his face looking at the documents he was holding. "this is still a document you have to sign. But because you want to go home. It'sit's okay. Tomorrow." replied Rian.

"alright. You handled the job well. I'll go home first." Ares patted Rian on the shoulder as he passed by.

"Oh, boss why did it arrive." Rian sighed softly. He came out with the document and threw it on the table.

Arrive at Ben's cafe. Ares spread his gaze throughout the cafe. Coincidentally the cafe is also not too crowded or too quiet.

At the end of the cafe, a girl was sitting with her head down. His hand turned over a book he was reading.

Ares go there immediately. "Gendhis?" the words coincide with a question.

The girl with the navy-colored hooded immediately looked up. He was stunned at the face of the man who looked handsome and charming.

"You, Brother Ares?" Say the girl politely.

The man immediately sat his butt in front of Gendhis. Ares was seen from the head to the abdomen as his legs were blocked by the table.

The girl Ares was looking at followed Ares' line of sight. So the girl lowered her head and closed the book she was reading and placed it on the table.

A waiter placed an order for Gendhis as well as the man he had just met. "sorry brother, I ordered you a coffee."

Ares remained silent for quite a while as he looked at gendhis with a frown.

"At the sight of his name alone is ugly, moreover his face must also be ugly." Ares mind bawangana not listening to the words that are uttered by Gendhis.

"Sister!" Gendhis was forced to wave his hand in front of Ares's face, as the man had been staring at him ever since.

"Ehem." Ares quickly regained consciousness. He shifted his eyes.

"So, I ordered coffee for brother. Sorry not to ask your permission first." said gendhis repeating his words.

"It's okay." Ares answered, turning his eyes.

Gendhis smiled behind his veil. Ares looked on dislike of gendhis, moreover he could not see clearly the face of the girl. He made her sigh slowly because she was upset.

Maybe his face is ugly too. Inner Ares.

"Sister, I have to go back. There's still work to be done." again gendhis threw the man's daydream in front of him.

Ares sipped the coffee. "Why rush. Didn't we come here to meet." said Ares casually as he placed the glass on the table.

Gendis felt ashamed because she was always stared at by Ares. "Sorry brother. That's not what I meant. I left a lot of work and today I have to send stuff immediately" Gendis explained.

"No brother, I only run business by trading online." said Gendis. "but if after marriage brother does not allow me to work like this. It's okay to be home as a good wife." continued Gendis.

"Your business is your own. It's up to you." Ares Sahut.

Gandis raised his face with a bright twinkle in his eyes. "thank you brother." replied gendhis smiling behind his veil.

Ares raised his arm and looked at the clock. It had been five hours since his return from the office. "It seems we've been sitting here for a long time. Do you want to eat first or go home?" Ask Ares.

"No, I'm going straight home." Answer Gendis.

"alright. Then I'll go home too." Ares.

"Assalamualaik." Gendis first said goodbye to Ares.

"Getishalight." Answer Ares.

Gendis came out first from the cafe owned by Ben. He saw that slender back coming out of the cafe. Ares again sighed softly.

Is he the one I'm betrothed to. His clothes are too big like that. Looks like he's fat and stuff. That's why he covered it up like that. And she must not be pretty either. Ares muttered softly.

"Woi." again Ares must be surprised but not the fat who disperse his daydreams other than ben his best friend.

"Eh, Ben. Just ngagetin." said Ares while turning towards Ben who was standing on the side.

"Some of it I noticed, you dream on." Said Ben then sat in front of Ares who was sitting Gendis.

"Did you see that girl?" Ares turned the topic towards the girl introduced by his father.

Ben stared out of the restaurant as the girl was wearing a helmet and led her motorcycle out of the parking area.

"What indeed. He's fine." Sahut Ben's.

"Not so, you know my taste. Why would papa even match me up with a woman like that. She must not be as beautiful as her face." Ares sighed slowly.

"Prophey bro. Behind it all there must be advantages so bokap lo mlihin like that." Reply Ben tried to calm his best friend.

Ares again sipped coffee ordered gendis to the toilet. "Well, I'll go back first." Ares then got up from his seat.

"Alright bro. Don't be too stressed thinking about your marriage with that girl. Okay." said Ben jokingly.

Ares just pats Ben on the shoulder and exits Ben's restaurant. Along the way Ares fell silent again and contacted Bella.

"Hallo Ares's. I was just about to call you." Bella said on the phone.

"Hem, how was my proposal this morning. Are you really not accepting me." Ares said at the core.

"Ares, I've told you many times, I'll focus on my career when we get married." Belle said with her stance.

Ares sighed softly. "My wedding is two weeks away. You sure let me get married to another woman." again Ares convinced Bella that she would waver.

I heard a long breath coming from the ground. "Yes, I'm sure. Because you are only mine. I'm sure you'll be waiting for me." Belle said calmly and confidently.

"After all, that woman was the result of your father's match. And you don't love her. I'm your only love forever." Belle.

"If I change my mind how. Are you gonna be this sure." Ares.

"Ares. You don't fuck me this way. Be assured that the soul is in God's hands. I'm sure you'll be loyal to me." Belle.

"Ares, yes, yes. I'll be on stage soon." Belle then hung up.

Ares threw his phone into the side chair. Again Belle said the same thing with a focus on her work. While Ares was at the tip of the horn could not retreat or advance his relationship with Belle. Three years is a long time. Moreover, waiting for Belle until her career peaked, while she had to be with other women. Looks like Ares can't promise that he will continue to be loyal to Belle.
