Happy reading^^^^
Nabila accepts Juna's invitation to ask him to have dinner together. It's not something big, they're just having dinner and maybe a little chat with each other, whether it's work or whatever. Nabila knows exactly what this dinner means, but for now just let it all flow. It is also not wrong if you have to be familiar with one of your coworkers, let alone face them directly in the office.
The two entered Steak and co. just opposite their offices, the instrumental classical music immediately greeted them with a very warm atmosphere. It is very suitable for dinner, the interior of this restaurant is also very classic with furniture mostly made of wood and walls painted in cream and light brown.
It is only fitting if this is called one of the premium restaurants, from the entrance only they have been welcomed so luxuriously like this.
“Our table is on the second floor, Ma'am,” said Juna. He led the way in front of Nabila who was still amazed by the interior of the restaurant.
This is not the first time for Nabila to visit a restaurant like this, it's just that it feels very soothing when our view is suguhi with a view like this. Next time, he will invite his two children and also the mother to eat here.
“You've made a previous reservation?” ask Nabila.
The second floor is the same as the first floor, the tables and chairs are arranged as neat. The difference is, this second floor presents
a direct view of the night sky and the street lights below. There is no roof that shades, if we look up, we are immediately presented with stars that glitter, then if lucky then there will be a moon that beautifies the night sky.
There were also small lights that adorned the edges of the parapet and were also neatly arranged on top of them. Overall, the atmosphere on the second floor is very romantic and intimate. Nabila liked it, but it seemed like it would be better if they were on the first floor only. This second floor is more suitable in the direction for a pair of lovebirds who are just starting a relationship or maybe a newlywed. Nabila just hopes Juna does not take the wrong direction to bring him to this floor.
“Yes, fear rame if not on reservation. Because this is a new restaurant, the fans are still very much, so the competition is very tight for seats here,” replied Juna.
“Udah as your election.” Nabila laughed amusedly with the selection of words used by Juna.
Juna also smiled at the melodious voice of his superior. There's nothing wrong with liking your boss, right? Love really can not be guessed will approach anyone, and in the case of Juna, the love has approached his heart in the form of Nabila. But, he also knows if Nabila is not an easy woman.
“Mbak is the first person who brought me and also I brought here,” said Juna.
“Oh yes? But don't know why it's so hard for me to believe that sentence.”
“Emang very tired if I look like a playboy, Ma?”
Nabila pretended to think and watch Juna's face carefully. If you pay close attention, Juna's face shows nothing, he is just a man full of jokes and also cheerfulness. Nabila himself did not know how the face of the playboy, what was written on their forehead? Nabila just want them close, but without involving any feelings.
“Lumayan. When I was your age, I often met the type of guy like you gini,” said Nabila.
“The sentence cannot be changed, Ma'am? Looks like a great distance of our age.”
“In fact, right? Wrong you yourself make sure parents hang out here.”
Both laugh at the same time. Until their food is provided, the atmosphere between them remains warm. Juna did not run out of materials to be thrown at Nabila. The late night, the place began to fill many guests, the sound of instrumental music is still the background, chatter and laughter from other guests also add to the excitement of the atmosphere of the night.

The dinner went well, and a lot of new things they knew from each. Especially Juna who is now more enthusiastic to approach his superiors, he knows if the effort will never betray the results, and he will try to let the heart of the woman beside him melt.
Their conversation was over, the night was also getting late, and the two decided to end their long chat. Juna walked in front of Nabila who went down the stairs, the man's hand outstretched to make sure Nabila did not slip with shoes with a seven-inch heel that he was wearing. The ladder itself is quite narrow and can only be passed by one person, can not be side by side.
“I feel like a princess of the king because of you,” said Nabila.
Juna just smiled, until they reached the last step of the stairs Juna still stretched out his hand to make sure if Nabila survived until he stepped on the last ladder. But, no. Nabila slipped slightly when going to tread the floor below, and almost fell on the floor if Juna did not hold his back.
This is exactly the same as the soap opera scene that is often watched by Ibu Nabila at home. Juna still held Nabila's back until the woman was standing straight in front of him, and Nabila could only be glued to the face of Juna who was staring at him. Does it look so embarrassing at the moment? Did her cheeks change color because of Juna's gaze? Because he could feel her warming cheeks and her heart also beating fast. A combination of shock and Juna's gaze.
“Mbak okay?” ask Juna.
Nabila immediately regained his senses and broke away from Juna. “Still.”
“Mean me from earlier hold Ma'am's hand. Otherwise, maybe from above Mbak can slip,” reply Juna with a little awkward.
His heart was really beating fast because it was within such a close distance to Nabila. He is actually categorized as a man in love. A little lost when Nabila took off her grip earlier, but it is also impossible for them to continue to hug in public places like that.
Later, he would make sure to hug Nabila tightly.
The two continued their steps again with a little awkward, until Nabila's step was forced to stop. “Why, Ma'am?”
There was no answer spoken from Nabila's lips, his gaze fixated on two figures who were also standing in the middle of this restaurant. They stared at each other, rather Reno and Nabila were staring at each other. In front of him, which was only a few steps away, there was Reno as well as Reni. The two newlyweds.
Perhaps if the two passed each other without having to meet face like this, it would be easy to avoid. But, if it had been staring at each other like this, how would it be possible to avoid? Can they just pass by? But, what is the greeting also needed? Their relationship was no longer like that, very far from all
that familiarity.
“Unexpected to meet here, Bill,” greet Reni with innocent face without sin.
How Nabila now wanted to scratch that face, but he held back. His hands were too clean to just scratch the face of this housewarming woman. Nabila widened her smile, then looked at the two.
“You guys have dinner here too? At that time I did not have time to thank you guys for the atmosphere that does not allow.” When Nabila reached out her hand, she did not refer it to Reno, nor to Reni. He just stretched out his hand.
Reni accepted the hand post with a smile, Reno was only able to look at Nabila's face with various guesses popping into his head. Meeting accidentally like this always causes a not so good effect on his heart, if he can, he feels like he wants to hug this woman tightly and not let go again.
“If you want dinner, you should choose the one on the second floor, the atmosphere is really suitable for newlyweds like you,” said Nabila. “I first, yes.”
Juna followed the woman who passed from these two couples, he did not know who the couple was, but his face was unfamiliar and like there was something between the two of them. Even from the way Nabila spoke it was very different..
“They're Mbak's friends?” asked Juna when he had managed to equate his steps with Nabila.
Nabila a little weigh. Should he tell Juna or just let go? But Juna is also not someone who should know about this story. They only had dinner and there was nothing to be proud of.
“They are the brides we came to yesterday, you don't want?”
“Ah, pantes aja, their faces kayak familiar but very difficult to inget.”
“Then I go first, yes. Thanks for dinner today.” Nabila smiled at Juna and immediately stepped towards his car.
Yeah, they're not going home together like they did in soap operas. Juna regrets that, because he really wants to spend more time with Nabila. Juna felt that, the wall that had been built solidly by Nabila. They were indeed chatting familiarly, even throwing jokes at each other, but
Juna knew if there was anything holding the woman back from doing more.
Juna's love experience is not much, but of all that, only Nabila is different and makes him want to bring the woman close to him.
**
If Nabila said the second floor is very suitable for those who are new couples, then what did he do with the man on the second floor? Are they a new couple too? Why would Reno's heart ache to imagine that happening? Nabila and the new man, they were also very harmonious, he had seen how the man looked when he helped Nabila down the stairs earlier and how the man also caught Nabila who almost fell.
Reno witnessed all the events earlier, as well as how Nabila smiled to save her. It doesn't matter if they're like that, does it? They are divorced and have nothing to do except their son who is the liaison between them. He is also married again, and he believes Nabila has found someone beside him.
But, deep down in Reno's heart, he still felt that this was not true. This incident and everything that happened in it is so untrue. Reno shouldn't be married, and Nabila shouldn't have another man by her side. However willing this heart is to keep Nabila beside him, it will not be
they can, because they can't be together anymore.
“You thought Nabila was?” ask Reni.
Reno also does not understand why he was here with Reni in marriage and became husband and wife. It's not true either, he shouldn't be married. Even if he has divorced Nabila, he should spend his time reflecting on his mistakes and just spending time with his two children.
“You've pesen?” Reno doesn't want to discuss Nabila with Reni. They didn't deserve to do that after hurting that woman so deeply.
“You still love Nabila.”
Does that statement need Reno more affirmation? Even until now there are still many regrets in his heart for what has happened in his household. Not finished the regret, he is now faced with a new household that does not know what it will be like later. He felt he had committed a great betrayal to Nabila.
“But squirming he has a hug with another man, I'm sure he has started to snack on you,” continued Reni again.
“You seem to know what the other person's heart is in, what you see outside is never the same as what is in their heart,” Reno replied sharply.
Reni threw away her gaze, she was the same. She was just like any other woman, what they saw outside of this was unlike what was in her heart. There have been many people who consider how devious and rotten his heart, then what should he be? Making a very non-self imaging? If it is like that, then he always chooses the option to show how a rotten heart really is.
“I know you're forced to do this, but at least you can be a little sweet with your wife.”
There is no answer from Reno, he is not much different like a robot that is moved by others. He was eager to escape from this situation and explained to Nabila about everything, that he was not really willing with this marriage, and he was also forced to undergo this marriage. He also wanted to tell Nabila that he did not like other men who embraced him.
“Do not ask me to do many things, because I will not do them. We get married as you wish, don't expect me to do anything more than this again.”
“Am I that bad in your eyes?” ask Reni.
“At least, I liked Reni better when she was in college first. You are now sitting in front of me, not the same Reni.”
“You don't understand how many things have happened, I can't possibly stay the same after all these things.” Reni looked at Reno with an injured face.
A lot of things have happened in his life, and his best friend will not understand because they are very different. Reno is loved by many, he has a wife and children, their small family is happy. As for Reni, she had to beg for affection for others to love, she had to give the reciprocal worth to get that mortal affection.
“That's no reason for you to confess to actions like gini, you're ruining yourself.”
“That's why I took you to the hell I created for myself, you are my best friend and now my husband. I want you to understand a little about what changes have happened to me. Impas, right?”
