Manika and Bryan looked at each other. There was a man of quite high stature walking closer to their table.
"When did you come back to this country? Why didn't you call me?" asked the man then wanted to hug Manika as his greeting. However, Bryan's hand quickly prevented what the man wanted to do. Making the man look at Bryan didn't like it.
"Ah, it's been over a year." replied Manika a little uncomfortable, Manika looked disappointed and disgusted at the man. Just like back then, in the night when he left the man without a word.
Bryan noticed that Manika was less comfortable, since the arrival of the man, then gently pulled Manika's waist to be right by his side. Made Manika amazed but did not protest like he always did.
"Who is he, honey?" bryan asked softly while tasting the friendly temple of Manika with a slow motion. Making the hands of the men in front of them clench tightly.
"I'm his girlfriend" said the man making Manika's eyes reddened. It felt like hitting the man's head to be aware of what he had said.
"Darling?" Bryan ignored the man's words. She looked softly at Malika's eyes asking for an explanation. "Are you cheating behind my back? Hm? You know what kind of sweet punishment I'd give you if you lied, honey?" bryan said then gently kissed Manika's lips.
Of course it made Manika surprised to not believe with her lips slightly open. Had his head hit, so say this kind of crazy thing. Manika's growl in the heart. But he could not do much because in front of him there were now people from his past.
I want it to feel Manika prying the eyes of the man who was clutching her waist at this time. This guy is so good at theatrics, and that really helps Manika.
"She's my ex-boyfriend, Mas." Manika finally let out her voice. The voice that Leo had longed for.
The man who is also one of the reasons why Manika does not want to get married in her life. Because he does not trust a man, since Leo incised wounds and disappointment in his heart too deep.
Mas's nickname Manika addressed to Bryan, making the man happy and flowery. Then reward Manika a friendly kiss on her lips back.
Today, was truly a lucky day for Bryan. He got the facts that had plagued his life all along. And filled with the sweet taste of Manika's lips that he had longed for. Bryan will keep his own from people who want to bother them. Including from Leo.
Leo was slightly stunned to see the scene he caught with his own eyes. Manika, who used to be very spoiled for him, was gentle with him and very obedient to what Leo said. Being kissed like that in front of his eyes, made Leo's heart feel sliced. Leo is very unwilling if Manika is touched by another man. Leo is aware of the mistakes he has made in the past. And she was determined to take Manika back to her side again.
