Aruna occasionally glanced at Haikal who seemed to focus on driving. The man's gaze was straight ahead, staring at the road that happened to be lengthened.
Aruna knows that Haikal is a good man. But he was afraid to misinterpret the man's kindness to him. Lately it's good that Haikal feels different. Whether it was his feelings alone or indeed there was another purpose and purpose behind his kindness.
Before things get too far, it's good for Aruna to ask about it. He looked back, making sure Elona. The boy was asleep.
"Haikal ..." call Aruna shirih.
Haikal. "Hm, yes. Why, Aruna?"
"Mc ... The driver was slow, because Elona was sleeping," she asked.
Haikal saw Elona from the rearview mirror hanging in front of him. Right, Elona's asleep. He lowered the speed of his car.
"Elona looked tired, until she fell asleep. If you want to sleep too, just sleep. Its alright. You must be tired too, Aruna."
"Yes, thank you, Haikal. But I'm not sleepy. Ah yes, there is actually something I want to ask you. But promise you don't take it personally."
Haikal frowned and looked at Aruna at a glance with a small smile.
"What do you want to ask?"
Aruna was silent for a moment, actually he did not feel good if he had to question the kindness of Haikal. But this should have been asked.
"Mmc ... You've been so kind to me lately, Haikal. You drove me home a few times. You took me and Elona to school. You even bought a present for Elona. I'm just afraid of misrepresenting your kindness" Aruna said honestly.
Aruna shakes. "No, that's not what I meant, Haikal. Don't misunderstand me first. You'll know that I filed for divorce for Abian. We will soon officially be separated. So what good have you been doing for any other purpose and purpose?"
Haikal's face turned serious, Aruna could see from the radiance of both of his beads.
"I'm just trying to be a good person, Aruna. But if you overvalue my kindness, and you feel uncomfortable and disturbed, then I won't bother you anymore."
Haikal's answer made Aruna less understanding. And made Aruna think that Haikal had other intentions and purposes behind his kindness.
"We're friends, Haikal. And forever will be friends. I was never disturbed by your presence. I'm so grateful to you because you're so good to me."
Aruna's first sentence actually made Haikal's hopes dashed instantly. But he can't just give up, maybe it's not time yet. It just so happens that Aruna has just split up. It takes a lot of time to heal such a big wound.
"Yes, Aruna."
Haikal refocused on driving. He slightly lowered his head so that Aruna could not see the change in look on his face.
While Aruna breathed a sigh of relief because he could ask and make sure directly about the goodness of Haikal. Although there is still a block from the answer that Haikal gave. But it's okay, the most important thing Haikal can understand if forever they will remain friends. Friends only.
Even though you think of me as just a friend, but I think of you more than that, Aruna. I hope one day you can understand how I feel. But if in the end we're just destined to be friends, I'm fine. I'm still lucky to know you. This is the reason why I have not been married until now. I've been waiting for you, but in the end you prefer Abian. And now, I want to wait for you again. Even though I don't know if this wait will have an answer that matches expectations or not?
