This afternoon, Abian had lunch with Gavin. And this was an opportunity for him to pour out his heart to the man. Because Gavin can always give him positive feedback.
"You can order any food you want, then the total bill let me pay" Gavin told Abian.
"Ah yes, thank you. But it doesn't seem necessary. I still have money to pay for the food," Abian refused politely.
"Oh it's okay. Just keep your money. Let me pay later. Take it easy, this will not affect your salary. So, don't resist, yeah."
Abian nodded too. He was really lucky to be able to meet someone as good as Gavin. Maybe everything that happens in life, the bad is not always bad. Behind it all must be something good. For example, like now, he can know friends as well as Gavin.
"Thank you" Abian said later.
"Together," replied the man.
The two chose the meal menu, before then calling the Japanese restaurant waiter.
While waiting for the order to arrive, maybe it's time for Abian to start pouring out his heart on Gavin.
"Mmc ... I want to tell you something" Abian said.
"What story?" ask Gavin curiously.
"Actually I'm embarrassed to have to tell you about my personal affairs. But I don't know who else to tell. Because you're my only friend right now. Besides, you can always give me positive feedback."
Gavin smiled. "I'm glad you think of me as your friend outside the office, because I'm your boss only for the office. Beyond that, we're friends."
"Yes, therefore, I want to pour out my heart to you. That's if you don't mind listening."
"I have absolutely no objection to hearing your every complaint. If it can make you feel a little more relieved, then I'm ready to be a good listener for you."
"Thank you, you're very kind to me" Abian said.
Abian was silent for a moment. The confusion and embarrassment made him doubtful. But he doesn't have long to tell Gavin his heart. He could not meet this man every day.
Abian took a deep breath, before he started telling stories.
"Honestly, I'm starting to fret with your words" Abian said, leaving Gavin a little clueless.
"Which words am I?" ask Gavin.
"Right now Aruna and my daughter are close to another man. Name's Haikal. He's Aruna's friend. And to my dismay, I was afraid that your words would happen. While I was trying to realize the hope that I and Aruna had dreamed of, I was afraid that man would make it happen first. Like you said to me back then. What do you think I should do now?" say Abian and ask for a solution from Gavin.
Gavin exhaled. While compiling the words to answer Abian's question.
"Abianamazon. Love is not only about having, but it is also about having. If you really love Aruna, you just need to make her happy. Being happy here doesn't mean you have to be with him. But with whoever Aruna is happy, that's more than enough. You can't force Aruna or you to stay with her. The more you force yourself, the more you will feel pain. So from now on, you need to start taking Aruna. Even if it's heavy," said Gavin sage.
Abian flinching. What Gavin said is absolutely true. He could not continue to force himself to be with Aruna. It'll just make him sick. He must learn to be sincere from now on, although he is still not willing if there are other men who will embrace Aruna and her little daughter.
"Thank you for the input, Gavin. This is what I like about you. You can always make me feel a lot more relieved" Abian said.
"Yes, you're welcome, Abian. If there's anything you want to tell me, I'll always be well with you. Don't worry, if I can give you a solution, I'll give it. I'm just happy if my input is well received."
"I take your input, and I still need other input from you. Thank you for listening to my heart. I'm relieved now. And I can take what step I want to go to, which is sincere."
"May you be able to get through it. Spirit, yes."
"Yes." Yeah."
Their conversation came to a halt as the waiter came to deliver the food. No more talk between them. Both were busy eating each.
