Kaina's PoV
What is the difference between love and love? I think if it was just like it, someone would not experience a very deep heartbreak like I feel right now. But with love, we learn to sincerely see our loved ones happy with others. Right now I'm challenging myself to prove that it's not a theory.
Guess what ? My first day back to work was brought to you by Rayshaka. She's getting engaged in two months. It feels like dejavu. Hans will also be married at the same time. Back I felt very isolated in this vast world.
As I promised, I would be happy if he was happy with the path he chose.
That one day he spent his free time in the office by telling me all about Silvi. How they first met, how the struggle to get Silvi, any obstacles, the reason Silvi had cheated on him, to how they got along again. Even though my ears are hot, I am happy to be a good and active listener.
Somehow I became his supporter. Maybe it's true that I'm too in love, to the point of forgetting that we've kissed like people.
Even in the days that followed, she began to actively question me about how I thought from a female point of view about this and that. When he wants to surprise Silvi, he will ask me. He had a fight with Silvi, he would confide overnight and ask for advice.
Over time I ignored my own feelings, preferring how to make him happy, even though not me.

I can breathe a sigh of relief now. The joining of Nirvana Ressort with the company made the turnover of the Bandung branch rise drastically. I admire the performance of Rayshaka who has managed to get Franklin to sign the deal sheet.
The board also praised our branch which eventually could outperform other branches. Of course the bleaching that was once touted Mr. Kusnaidi was canceled. Really relieving.
But I still have one secret that still makes me curious. There is a dark story behind the deal, where Ferdi also secretly tries to rival Ray. It may sound trivial, but his resignation still holds a secret. I'm sure there's something hidden that wasn't revealed after the gathering ended.

If Rayshaka is the Earth, then Silvi is the Sun for him. The ultimate source of energy he needs in order to live his days with passion, passion. At least that's what Ray told Kaina.
Especially before their engagement, Ray increasingly intense to meet with his lover. Even though returning home from work was already afternoon, he would visit Silvi to the Setiabudi area.
Kaina herself slowly begins to withdraw from Ray. Started to reduce time with the man. Like for example, every time Ray offers a ride at work, he will refuse with a bad reason if anyone sees. Although Ray was often pushy, he remained in his stance.
For him it is not good if he continues to establish extra closeness with Ray who already has a prospective fiancee. He is also not sure that he can control his wild feelings if he gets too close to Ray. He should be able to forget his expectations and start studying seriously to be a good working partner.
"Are you sure you don't have the same feelings for Ray?" yes, although his Sunday night with Rosa still often talks about Ray.
"There's certainly still, Ros. But it must be eradicated immediately," Kaina laughed discordantly while biting her steak.
"Sir Ray, how can you? Already nyium upss ...." Rosa did not continue her words as Kaina kicked her leg under the table. Kaina did it because she saw Hans coming from behind Rosa's back. Yeah, they promised to see each other tonight. But alone, without Rosa.
"Hey, it's been a while? Sorry, it's stuck."
"It's okay, Hans. Everything's going well today?"
"Surfer, Kai. That's why it can be unplugged quickly," Hans smiled. Kaina imagines Rayshaka's smile.
"Goodoo. Uh, what pesen? Sorry we went first, hungry for it."
"Look easy, Kai. Hey Rosa, long time no see ...." Hans patted Rosa's shoulder. The girl smiled a little. Indeed, he had already felt the love of Hans, but still tried to be reasonable.
They chatted for about half an hour when Andre finally picked up Rosa. A few minutes later Kaina and Hans left the restaurant.
"Well what do you want?" they are now waiting to buy tickets. Because Sunday night, who want to watch also a lot, so the queue is quite long. Kaina and Hans must be willing to queue up.
"Rame very yes, tumben," said Kaina.
"So rarely seen?"
"Bangetpus. Who's gonna try to see it?" Kaina flirts while facing Hans. He was not at all awkward anymore in front of his ex-lover. Both are committed to being good friends.
"Start dehh ...." Hans put on a pouty look. Kaina laughed as she stroked Hans' shoulder.
"Have you told your fiancee that we're watching together?"
"It has. You take it easy, yes" Hans pinched Kaina's cheek and turned the tiny body face forward. Then he casually wrapped his arms around Kaina. Kaina's position was leaning casually on Hans' chest. Despite this, they did not feel any vibrations anymore.
Hans occasionally asked her to speak while bowing his head near Kaina's ears. If anyone saw, it was certain that they were lovers.
"Hey, Mba Kaina!" suddenly Kaina's head turned to the voice from the queue next door. Hans also turned his head but did not let go of his embrace at all.
"Hey, Silvi! Hey, Bro!" Kaina was originally about to break away from Hans, but strangely, Hans was actually signaling that they remained so. Not too noticeable because Kaina immediately understood.
"Eh, see you too, bro? Hello mas, Rayshaka." With a gentle Ray extended his hand first to Hans, making Hans remove his hand from Kaina.
"Hans Setiawan's. Kaina's friend?"
Hans greeted Silvi with a smile.
"At what nonon, Mba?" Silvi asked Kaina.
"She wants to see Ernest Prakasa's Imperfect. Isn't that right, baby?" Hans replied while poking Kaina's shoulder again. Kaina nodded.
"Just want to? I'm just like Ray would watch that." Silvi meggandeng Ray's arm.
"Where's honey?" Kaina asked Hans. Looks like they're playing the drama as lovers without anyone commanding it.
"Come on, it seems fun watching the rame-rame."
After agreeing to watch together, Kaina and Silvi came out of the queue to buy popcorn. Hans and Ray queued up while chatting away.
How many minutes they are in the studio, sitting side by side with each other's partners.
Nothing special during the movie. Silvi is busy with Ray, Kaina is also busy with Hans who is still pretending to be her lover. He grabbed onto Kaina's shoulder so that she had to lean her body towards Hans.
"So actually fat is not a problem huh. The origin is confident," Kaina begins to review the film on her way out with Hans. They have just split up with Ray and Silvi.
"Yes, most women today are more focused on the same body goals than being healthy" Hans continued.
"Benefit ... but not to blame also Hans, because in fact men are more tempted by girls whose bodies are cool right?" Kaina pointed at Hans with her index finger.
"Not everyone, Kai. In the end, a real man will fall in love with the beauty of the heart and morals of every woman. Not just physical."
"Oh yeah? The wiser you are."
They both laughed crisply. Then Kaina remembered something.
"So, can we stop our charade?" tanyanya while removing Hans embrace on his shoulder.
"Hahaha .. oh yes, sori sori. I was spontaneous, wanting to see Ray's reaction."
"Oh yeah? And the observation is?"
Hans laughed a little.
"I need to make further observations. No conclusion has been drawn."
"Observation? Ou ..." Kaina raised her eyes. Crisp laughs.
"If there's an answer, I'll tell you."
Kaina gave her thumbs up with a chuckle. Actually he doesn't need Hans' observation or anything. Ray had even kissed her as if he had feelings for Kaina, but in reality did not. Especially if Hans only observes from the body movements and gestures.
"Eat some yuk? Or snack ..." take Hans while pressing the remote control of his car.
"By pleasure ...."
Hans and Kaina leave the mall and move towards the 24-hour cafe that is still open.

Hans's PoV
Kaina ..the good and innocent girl who was once part of my life. She is one of the adult female figures of several other women I have known.
I loved her, but slowly my love began to wear down along with the long distance relationship we had. It even thrives on other girls that I meet more often in the office. It is true that there is a saying that love grows out of habit.
So did I feel with my fiancee, Tiara. He's my former division boss at the office. Yeah, I'm a lover of older couples. Tiara is the daughter of our chief director. Honestly, I had no intention of getting into a relationship with him because he was rich. But feelings cannot be lied to. Back then, Tiara was always around me, always there for me, always helping me.
It's not like Kaina didn't do it. He tried his best to always be there for me even if we were far apart. But the comfort I got from Tiara already overcame my need for Kaina.
I fell into Tiara's arms and agreed to an engagement offer from her parents. I feel the deepest guilt towards Kaina, the lover who has been waiting for me faithfully in this city.
When I accidentally met him in Dufan, I wasn't ready to admit everything. Her tears also paralyzed my tongue to speak. Fortunately, he with his heart made me believe that he would be fine no matter what reality he would hear that day.
Kaina .. she likes Rayshaka. I really like that guy. Even though he was in the hospital at that time he did not tell in detail what their relationship was as far as, I know, Ray had managed to touch his heart. He has a very big love, but is forced to be buried like a treasure in the depths of his heart because the man chooses to reconcile with Silvi.
Kaina .. maybe she's been crying enough for Ray, just like crying for me. She is a strong and strong woman. Evidently when we met Ray and Silvi, he was able to behave naturally. Not excessive expression as usually other people who accidentally meet the person he or she suspects is with his or her boyfriend. He can control himself well.
I'm more and more eager to find out how their relationship is from Rayshaka's point of view.
