2. Old Friend

Axbil has been holding Seo Jee's hand ever since he left the apartment, currently they are just walking and plan to find food on the roadside around the city of Paris while enjoying the crowds in the city of Paris at night.

"so yes" said Seo Jee with a big smile, he really enjoyed the beauty of Paris night.

"yes, and I became the first person to accompany you on the street tonight." said Axbil who also smiled widely and stared for a moment at Seo Jee's face.

"honey." said Seo Jee returned Axbil's gaze, his smile still plastered Seo Jee's lips. Seo Jee is very happy her lover can accompany her first day in Paris.

"it's my duty" Axbil said.

They walk through the city and find a place to eat that is not too crowded so as not to queue for long.

"we ate there, which was not too crowded" said Axbil pointing his index finger at the cafe across the street.

"maybe you too" replied Seo Jee agreed and asked him to go there immediately.

They cross the road with other people.

Seo Jee and Axbil have arrived at the cafe. They entered and searched for an empty bench. After finding the desired bench, they also sit down. Before long the waiter came with an order menu book.

"i choose this, keep this, and this" Seo Jee said with a finger pointing to the menu book.

The waiter agreed and wrote them one by one.

"i order this and this" said Axbil pointing his finger at the menu he chose. Axbil speaks English because he does not speak French. The waiter nodded and wrote Axbil's menu of options.

The waiter began to leave the lovers behind.

"who, you meet Angel there often? "ask Seo Jee. Angel is a friend of Seo Jee who lives in America, he is also one of the Scrabel members of his dance group which is quite famous in Indonesia.

"yes, she is also one apartment with me. "Axbil replied casually.

"does he go on to study S2 there? "

"yes he is now back in America and studying there, he said he wants to jump into the business world. "

"are you no longer living in Los Angeles? "

"her parents are still there, now she's in New York college, and she's also on campus with me. "

"he didn't say he didn't want to go into business? ask Seo Jee again.

"human thoughts can change, maybe he wants to help his brother to take care of the company" explained Axbil.

"yes, too, so long as he is really a great pedancer, he is in Korea also quite a long time" said Seo Jee.

"even while in Korea he became a choreographer in a very famous dance studio." said Axbil.

"that's great Angel. "praise Seo Jee.

While waiting for orders, they chatted a lot of things and not a few they threw jokes at each other.

Before long the servants came to bring the food they ordered.

Seo Jee and Axbil soon finish their dinner. Without realizing it there was a pair of eyes watching them. A man kept watching Seo Jee.

"what is Chitra? " rumbling.

The man observes Seo Jee from across the bench, as if he knew her but hesitates to confirm that she is Seo Jee. The man wanted to call her but she was afraid of the wrong people.

After finishing his meal Seo Jee and Axbil were still sitting on his lap for a moment.

A man walked towards them.

"chitra?. "call a man while patting Seo Jee on the shoulder, Seo Jee turns to him.

"sorry who? " ask Seo Jee confused. When viewed, the man is 1 year older than Seo Jee. The man stared at Seo Jee's face for a moment to confirm that he was a childhood friend while living in Indonesia before moving to the city.

"it's me, Benni" he said smiling.

"Bennies? " ask Seo Jee who is still trying to remember.

"yes, your neighbor used to be in Surabaya" said Benni enthusiastically.

"astaga Benni's. " Seo Jee hugged Benni as she remembered.

Benni was surprised when Seo Jee hugged her, she also returned Seo Jee's embrace.

"uhm. " Axbil coded them to immediately let go of his embrace because he already felt jealous if Seo Jee was hugged by another man let alone he did not know him.

They immediately let go of his embrace.

"i didn't think we could meet here" said Seo Jee with a smile on her lips.

"i didn't expect it either, how are you? " ask Benni.

"as you can see I'm fine" said Seo Jee with a happy-looking face.

"thank God, you look different now. "

"that's it, then how are you?" seo Jee asked Benni again.

"sit down do you want to keep standing like this? " said Seo Jee patting the chair next to her so that Benni sat next to her chair. Benni did not answer and immediately sat down next to Seo Jee.

"i'm done with my dinner, how about you Jee? " Benni again asked Seo Jee.

"i'm done too, maybe we can chat for a while here, we haven't seen Ben in 10 years or so" said Seo Jee.

"yes and I miss you too" said Benni, who was embarrassed to say so.

"i'm also Ben. "saut Seo Jee chuckles.

"oh yes introduce this Axbil my fiancee." said Seo Jee introduced Axbil to Benni, and Benni reached out her hand and smiled.

"Bennies. "

"Axbilc. "

"so you're engaged Je? " asked Benni with a frown. His head was filled with many questions.

"yes, it was a year ago that I got engaged" explained Seo Jee.

"you really are the perfect girl Je, you fit in perfectly with Axbil" Benni said.

"yes that's how everyone says it. " Seo Jee replied casually.

Benni chuckled at Seo Jee's reply.

"then you went to college or work? "

"i went to college here to continue S2. "

"at which university? "

"The "University of Paris. "

"good college, been here a long time? "

"i just got here 4 hours ago Ben" replied Seo Jee laughing.

"really? so you just want to start college here? " Benni asked again and laughed.

"yes, and this is my first time here. "

"i thought you'd been here a long time" Benni chuckled.

"how are your parents Jee? " he continued.

Seo Jee sighed softly.

"well fine, even my mama has been living with my papa again" explained Seo Jee smiling.

"then how are your parents? " continued Seo Jee.

"they divorced Jee, but my mama's fine now" Bennie said in a weakened voice.

"astaga, I'm sorry Ben really I don't know that" said Seo Jee feeling guilty.

"no matter what Jee, no one offended you" said Benni staring at Seo Jee's face and smiling faintly.

"isn't your family okay? " ask Seo Jee gently.

"it was Jee, 1 year after you moved my family was a mess, my dad had an affair and finally 1 year later mom decided to part with papa. After that I went with my mom and moved to Jakarta. "obviously Benni with a soft look. His heart was sad to remember his family.

"patiently yes, you look like a strong man now" said Seo Jee stroking Benni's shoulder. He also felt sad to hear the news of the divorce of Benni's parents. Seo Jee already considers the Benni family like her own family, because when she was neighbors Seo Jee was very close to Benni and her parents.

"iya Jee, and at this time I have also given everything, mama has also returned happy." said Benni with a sweet smile.

"thank God, have you lived in Paris for a long time?" seo Jee asks to change the topic so that Benni does not feel sad.

"it's been 12 years Je, I moved here when I went to high school, and now I work at the biggest company here" Benni explained.

"you're great Ben. Turns out you've been here a long time, so why did you move here when you were in high school? " ask Seo Jee curiously.

"my cousin's parents invited me to move here, because they knew that my mom's economy was deteriorating until my mom couldn't afford to pay for my school and they finally invited me to move and would pay for my school here. " obviously Benni looked straight into Seo Jee's eyes.

"when my mother divorced my father, even though my father never supported his son even though my mother was pregnant with my sister. I'm so grateful to be able to live better now, my cousin's parents are so good to me they've brought me into this better life" Benni sighed softly.

"that's your papa Ben, I didn't expect you to feel Ben's bitter life" Seo Jee said in a weakened voice, but she also felt sad when she heard it.

"it's been my destiny, and that's not always a sweet life" said Benni bitterly.

Axbil observed the 2 people who were chatting with each other regardless of Axbil, he stared for a moment at the face of Seo Jee and Axbil felt that they were very close friends. Actually Axbil felt jealous because his lover chatted and laughed with a man he did not know but he could understand it. Axbil just smiled wryly and took his breath.

They continued their conversation, many things they discussed and not a few they threw jokes. Until finally they say goodbye to go home because Seo Jee and Axbil are still very tired.
