The Sadewa Hardinata Wibisana

I live the next day as usual, I always greet the employees who

I met him on the way to my office in a friendly manner. Not that I'm a superior

the fierce and stingy smile, I just want a relationship in the office limited

professionalism. I don't like relationships that have been mixed up, but

unconsciously I did that. I always didn't realize anything, though,

and when I realized, it was too late.

Regret is pointless, it all happened. If I had a doraemon, I would borrow a time machine and fix everything, but I can't. So, I'll keep going

my life. I'm a very creative marketing manager and a genius and an optimist, a lot of big projects I've handled, even one of my clients likes me. I don't want to remember Christian Bagaskara, but at least there's a sense of pride when men seem to like me.

Of love? Just be right.

Nothing can weaken me, not even love, it's all nonsense

the emptiness of the slaves of love. Celibacy life was not a problem for me, the proof all this time I struggled alone to get to this position, and the accompaniment do’a from my parents of course.

“Seneng, deh, see Bu Liliana now happier. I think our office is getting

bright because of the glare emanation of Mother.”

I stopped my steps in front of Eka's desk who stood up to greet me when I arrived. “So all this time I'm not happy you mean?” indict me.

“The atmosphere is different, Mom, which is now more radiated.”

I smiled at Eka's hyperbole, if she was a man, maybe I would have

courting. “Oh, and don't forget to stop calling me Mom, I'm still two seven, haven't pantes on call Mom.”

“I've been doing that since first, why protest now?” without the question

the slightest guilt. I'm his boss here.

I looked at him fiercely. “Mbak Lili,” he said surrender. I immediately gave him a smile

and entered the office.

There was still something stuck in my mind, especially after Michelle became my neighbor.

The girl didn't do anything, it's just that I feel like it hasn't started yet. I've never had depression, maybe work stress, and Michelle I think is still under pressure because of that depression.

Richard did not say the cause of the girl's depression, just plainly saying

if Dimitri was responsible for that. If you think about it again, maybe

I'll be depressed, it's sickening and it always makes my head dizzy.

I decided to focus on work, I had a lot to do and meetings were

i've gotta run. So focus.

My office door was knocked, and Eka walked in with Kevin. I got up from the chair and

walking up to Kevin to let him sit down, however, Kevin is still my boss here.

I gave him a smile as usual, I could see that guilty look on his face.

Maybe because of that dinner, I get it, but I want to be professional. “What's up?” my many.

Kevin thrust a map at me. “Michelle will be the model for that ad,

Christian Bagaskara has agreed and filming will start in three days.”

I opened the map and found a portfolio sheet in it. All information

about Michelle and about what achievements she has achieved in the model world. She is so beautiful, she is a model. Another fact that slapped me.

“I think you need to know,” said Kevin.

“Looks like she's a professional model and quite popular. Because now you're the one handling it

here, I agree, after all Christian Bagaskara has agreed to it, that's all that matters.”

I handed the map back to Kevin, then smiled. Either my smile will

looking pitiful, forced, or strange to her, I had already suggested that I should accept her with a chest of air. After all, I'm just a friend of—if it can still be considered like that.

“I'm sorry about that dinner, I didn't know that Aunt Ina would invite Sister.” That guilty look re-adorned Kevin's handsome face.

“Isn't that good? I'm just lucky Aunt Ina invited me, otherwise you too

won't talk to me, will you? I'm fine, Vin.”

Lies.

I'm not okay.

I'm just trying to be okay. So far it worked.

“Kak, about that..,”

Kevin seemed hesitant to say it, he was like trying to choose the best sentence

so as not to hurt me. Isn't that free? In the end I was still hurt.

“Whatever happened to Brother and Dimitri before, I beg you to believe

Dimitris. He is also in a difficult position, he does not have many options to choose.”

I gave Kevin a smile again, it seems like I've been smiling a lot lately. There's luck

I also faced this problem, slightly changing my personality. “Is there anything else to talk about? I have to work?”

Kevin looked doubtful, once again. I've never seen him like this, Kevin's a cheerful and always positive guy. “Kak..,”

Kevin gave me a faint smile, then he decided to come out. Remaining alone in this room, I let out a tired sigh. I'm the only one who doesn't know everything for sure, but I'm asked to always trust that guy. I smiled wryly, it seems like this is my destiny, I can do nothing but

accept it.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon and I haven't left my chair for lunch yet. I don't want to torture myself and then get sick. My job was not able to stay and I was getting my monthly guests, my appetite suddenly disappeared and I just ate the pieces of fruit that I asked Eka to prepare.

Cellphone's ringing.

God calling…

I frowned, who is God? I don't think I have a co-worker named Dewa, but why is his name in my contact. I shifted the green button still with a frown.

“Halo,” my sap.

“Liliana, still remember me, this is Dewa,” said the man across.

Okay, let's just remember. My only male friends are Dimitri and Kevin, and then there's Richard. Other than them there were only a few colleagues and then clients. Among them, there is no God.

“Children Mr. Wibisana,” he said again.

Ah, I just remembered. The man Mom and Dad tried to get me. Chairman of OSIS in high school. “Ah, sorry I completely forgot. I didn't accidentally forget it, but there were some problems I was facing and I was also very forgetful. So forgive me, now I've remembered it.”

The man across there laughed, a very crisp laugh, and was able to make me smile as well. “No problem, the important thing is that you already remember me.” I can even feel his smile from here

“I'm in Jakarta.”

“What?! Why didn't you tell me?” I didn't even realize I was yelling like this. I was really shocked, he did say he wanted to visit, but this was very sudden.

“I'm doing it now.” There was an amused tone to the answer, perhaps this man laughed at my hysterical shock.

“Ah, yes, I mean—“

“It's too late, but I want to take you to lunch. I've been in your office lobby, so—“

“Wait there! Don't go anywhere, I'll get off.” immediately

I picked up my bag of origin and immediately came out, I paused for a moment at Eka's desk who was shocked to see me in a hurry. “I'll be out, maybe a little while. If there is anything important, just contact.”

Without waiting for Eka to answer, I immediately ran towards the elevator. I didn't expect that guy to actually visit me. I mean, there's nothing wrong, I'm just surprised because it's so sudden. I do not accept and do not reject this match, I just want to try and live as Mother said.

I'm in a position of not being able to do anything, I don't want to add to the problem, so I'll just go through. Fortunately the elevator was empty, and when the elevator opened in the lobby, I hurried out and looked back and forth to find God.

The man in a white shirt whose arms were rolled up to his elbows, with black jeans and fantofel shoes in matching colors, his pants were standing there waving at me. He carries a backpack that he holds on one shoulder, his skin brown and handsome. I immediately ran towards him, lucky I was already so used to these eight-inch heels.

I almost fell down when I got close to him, luckily he caught me immediately. Then there was a scene like in a soap opera, where he almost hugged me and we looked at each other. It's very cliche, and I didn't realize that either.

“Be careful. Why do you have to run?” tanyanya's worried.

My face flushed a little because of that, ah, what did I just do? I just humiliated myself, and this is in the lobby. There are always a lot of things going on in the lobby.

“Why didn't you report earlier? I could've picked you up at the airport.” I looked into his eyes that were blocked by sunglasses.

My mother said Dewa attended Singapore, and he returned to Jogja to take care of his father's business. He majored in Graphic Design and became a freelancer while taking care of his father's business, this man does not like to work in the office that binds him. Pretty interesting actually, he's also pretty handsome. Maybe I can open my heart to her.

“Surprise possible?”

“I don't like surprises of any kind. You make me run in shoes this high,” I said annoyed. I showed you how tall the shoes I was wearing.

The gods only smile. “I didn't ask you to run, did you miss me?”

I don't remember ever being this familiar with him. When he drove me to the airport, we were still very clumsy. And it's been a while since we last met, but why am I so free to talk to her? Even running like a fidelity just to meet him. What the hell happened to me?

My face is red again. Do I like this guy? What kind of thought is that?

**

You guys want to know something? Back when I was in High School, I used to love Gods. That was years ago, but he used to be the most handsome of my upperclassmen, and he was also the head of OSIS. The reason I entered the organization was because of this man as well. First love? Think of it that way, but after he graduated High School, I slowly began to feel that the feeling of like it slowly disappeared.

And right now, I'm back sitting opposite him. I think those past feelings had a little bit of an effect on my absurd behavior earlier. This man even remained handsome when he was an adult, more charismatic. If only I had met her sooner, maybe I could have easily liked her back, and not have to get involved in the weird feeling right now.

When we talked at my parents' house, he asked not to call him Mas or Kak, although I also did not mind because he was older. Perhaps he was thirty or a little older now.

“I will attend my friend's wedding reception tonight, that's why I'm going to Jakarta.”

We were at a restaurant not far from my office. “Ah, so not because of me.”

“Because I can take you, that's why I came all the way here. Otherwise I will choose in Jogja only.”

I looked at him while thinking. So he's taking me, I don't mind the truth. “Then do you want to introduce me as a girlfriend so that no one asks when you follow.” I narrowed my eyes looking at him. How dramatic.

“We are indeed in a match, right? Indirectly you're my girlfriend, or we need to buy a ring in order for me to introduce you as a fiancee.” He smiled, there was no joke in that smile, only a truly sincere smile.

My fiancee and my thoughts were on Dimitri, the man was engaged, waiting for them to get married and I had no chance. I smiled wryly, again. What chance do I have?

“I was thinking of becoming friends first, but men and women can't just be friends, right? Surely one of them keeps feelings on his opponent.”

I don't know why I said this. I just don't think this guy is as cold as I thought. I don't think there's any story material we'll tell when we meet like this, but in fact this guy is very friendly and able to make me comfortable.

“I think I'll experience it, right?” tanyakanya.

“We haven't even started yet, why is it so sure? Is it because I'm too pretty?”

He laughed at me with a seductive smile, and that smile rubbed off on me. I wanted to trust myself to like this man, stir up those past feelings in order to escape Dimitri, but I thought it would be difficult. For me, the past is just the past, it's not that easy to open up the past.

God is handsome, and I hope he's not like the others, who keep secrets, and involve me in his problems. “When SMA, I used to like you,” I said honestly.

“That's the past, if you want to like me, love the present God, not when High School. Is there another man who made you fall in love first?”

Anyone want to move the bow of the god lili maybe?
