Hii, I'm sorry again if I make you wait a long time, I hope you guys understand ya^^ already in the moments of the last episode and I sometimes a little difficult to write it. I don't want to do namatin, but I have to finish. Okay, happy reading^^

Liliana did not realize that the restaurant they were visiting was only a few kilos away from Dimitri's office. Blame the client who asked to meet at this restaurant, but it does not matter if Liliana who visited his client. He just hopes that he doesn't have to meet Dimitri or Kevin. This restaurant is where the two of them belong, and also Liliana, used to be.

He also wondered why some clients who want to work together always ask to meet at lunch. Actually there is nothing strange, he also often meetings with his clients at lunchtime.

“Kak Lilies!”

Liliana's footsteps who wanted to quickly leave the restaurant instantly came to a halt from hearing a very familiar scream. Without even turning her body, Liliana knew that it was Kevin's voice. Can he hope that no Dimitri is with Kevin now?

Slowly Liliana looked back, and found Kevin looking at her cheerfully, as well as Dimitri. It seems that God does not want to be kind to her. Liliana only smiled her smile, lucky that Ayu was beside her at the moment.

Kevin half-runs towards Liliana followed by Dimitri who walks slowly behind Kevin. It was only three days ago that Liliana met Dimitri during Nabila's delivery, and now she has met Dimitri again.

God is really playing out his destiny as well as his heart.

“When is Brother back? How do I not know?” kevin said in front of Liliana. He actually really wanted to hug the woman who had disappeared for more than half a year, but he couldn't possibly do it here.

“Surprise?” liliana said with a big smile. Well, however Kevin is just Kevin, he shouldn't have to be awkward or nervous. Or maybe it's just because of the guy standing behind Kevin, who is currently looking at Liliana as if he won't see her again.

“Oh yes, introduce this Ayu. She's my secretary, we had a meeting here.”

Ayu shook both hands of the man in front of her and smiled politely. An awkward feeling still enveloped them. Although Liliana's determination was great to solve her problems with Dimitri, but still she was just a coward who still did not dare to say a single sentence in front of the man.

“I think I first, yes, because there is still something to take care of again.” Liliana simply looked at Kevin, and smiled at him. He wasn't that brave just to stare at Dimitri. “Yuk, Yu.”

“Kak Lili.”

Liliana turned her body and looked at Kevin questioningly. “We can meet again another time, right?”

Liliana smiled and nodded her head, leaving Kevin and Dimitri still standing there staring at Liliana's back.

“I still wonder, until when will you be awkward like this,” Kevin told Dimitri who was one step behind him.

“I'm also still wondering about it.” Dimitri shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

That afternoon, I don't know what demon was possessing Liliana until she decided to go to a mall. It's only natural that someone else on a Saturday like this is taking a walk in a mall or other recreational place to refresh their mind after a week of work. But, Liliana doesn't usually do that. He prefers to work at home or watch drama all day.

Liliana surrounds all the shops inside the mall, from the first floor to the last floor. Nothing was missed in the slightest, after that shock-filled first month, his mind began to be imaged again. Who else if not Dimitri. He tried to convince himself to meet the man and talk to him.

He also did not understand why he could be that cowardly. Love can really change a person's nature, and Liliana has to agree to it. A reason moreover that was able to make him become like that if not for his love

dimitri.

Actually there was nothing else he wanted to do in a mall this big, he just wanted to calm himself down. He has not even contacted Nabila again, nor Mela. He wanted to solve everything, but just by looking at Dimitri's face, all the sentences he had spoken seemed to just disappear. The combination of awkwardness and fear is a very sickening combination.

It was twenty and Liliana had not consumed any food since this morning except the packaged apple juice that was always available in her refrigerator. Of all the restaurants inside the mall, he was only interested in the bustling Japanese ramen restaurant. Later he was not interested in eating rice, usually he only consumed bread, spaghetti or noodles.

Liliana didn't like the crowds actually, but this time she was going to try the restaurant. Who knows if there's an empty table for him in there.

“Is there still an empty table?” liliana asked kindly to the officer who greeted her at the entrance of the restaurant.

“It looks like it's all full, Ma'am. Is it possible you want to wait a minute?” said the officer was friendly.

Liliana stared at the entire seat inside the restaurant that was already full. It seems he made the mistake of visiting the mall on Saturday, when everyone was getting their holiday rations and flocked to visit places that could make them spend time with loved ones.

“What is that man alone? I don't mind if I have to share a seat.” Liliana's index finger pointed at the back of the man sitting alone at a table, which seemed to be able to accommodate three more guests.

Since entering the mall, Liliana was only interested in this restaurant and she did not want to go back around anymore. Very wasteful of energy and also free, so it does not matter if you have to sit with a foreign man.

“Mari, Mbak, I will ask you first.”

Liliana followed the female employee who came to the table that Liliana pointed at. Liliana did not think about the possibility if the guest refused or actually she was waiting for her lover, or worse the man wanted to be alone and deliberately empty the other chairs.

Maybe Liliana just bothers the friendly employee who is fighting for a seat for her. After all he paid for his food later, along with his taxes. Later remind him to give tips also to this woman.

“Excuse me, sorry to interrupt the time for a moment, sir,” said the female employee was friendly. The man who was busy with his cell phone seemed to be staring at the servant who greeted him, and Liliana was very surprised when she looked at the man. Dimitris.

“Do you mind sharing a seat with this Mba? Sorry in advance, because all the tables are full, sir.”

Dimitri was no less surprised by Liliana. He didn't think of anything when he came to this mall and this restaurant, but it seemed like fate was playing tricks on them or it was supposed to be like this?

“Ah, I have no problem. I am also alone,” Dimitri said with great difficulty calming his heartbeat as well as his mind. Why should they always meet in such a sudden and unprepared state?

**

They eat their food in silence. He was like a stranger who had just met. Strangers are sometimes still able to throw sentences or sometimes questions to get to know each other.

“I'm done, I'm sorry.” Dimitri also did not know why he even said that. As a man he should have the initiative to solve the problems that exist between them, but he was too afraid to tease Liliana again, he knows himself and the limits of the mistakes he makes.

“Al,” call Liliana clean, but can be heard by Dimitri.

This was the first time since their meeting, Liliana called out her name. Can he smile now?

“It seems we need to talk,” Liliana said again.

Dimitri looked at Liliana who was also staring at him. There was so much longing in their gazes, longing that was buried for so long but never uttered by the lips of the two. Misses who torment both, but they always let it go. Wishing time could erase that longing, but sometimes even time

unable to remove everything.

“I'm a coward, right?” ask Dimitri. He stared at the empty bowl in front of her instead of Liliana. “I should have said that sentence, but I was afraid to hurt you again with all the words that came out of my mouth.”

Liliana just kept quiet, it seemed like there was a lot that the man wanted to say.

“I'm sorry, for everything. I know this won't change anything, but I'm really sorry for everything. It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, I'm already very happy to see you sitting in front of me.”

Their eyes met again. Liliana never knew the other side of Dimitri like this. The man looked fragile, but also sincerely said all his sentences just now. Dimitri's never been like this before.

To be honest, Liliana didn't know what to say. He did not expect to receive the apology from Dimitri. The man had indeed hurt his heart very deeply, but deep down he could understand the problem this man was facing. He went to protect his heart, so as not to get too sick when it had fallen too deep on this man.

“I miss you.” Liliana turned her gaze. Of all the sentences in his head, it was precisely that sentence that he managed to say.

Dimitri was very surprised by Liliana's choice of sentence, could she reply to that sentence? He felt the same way, even more. His longing had already piled up for almost eight months.

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean—“

Liliana's speech came to a halt when Dimitri touched her fingers on the table. There was a vibration like electric shock effect when the man's fingers touched it. “Can I miss you too?”

Liliana looked only at Dimitri's black eyes, eyes that had always been able to hypnotize Liliana. “I should have asked, you are engaged,” Liliana said. There was a faint smile tucked into her speech, it was not her happy smile.

Dimitri stared fixedly at the woman before him. Liliana had absolutely no idea what had happened to her during these eight months. Either he should be happy, relieved, or even disappointed. It could mean that this girl has no intention of returning, or worse, she really doesn't care about Dimitri. The man tightened his grip on Liliana's fingers, wanting once to get the chance to fix everything and standing beside Liliana as the man he loved.

Can he do that?

“Me and Michelle have already broken off our engagement.”

Liliana simply stared at Dimitri's fingers. He wanted to cry when he heard that phrase. What does all that mean?

His love could be reciprocated by Dimitri if so, but why he could not feel happiness in his heart. He went to protect his heart and fix everything, when he came back, still left the pain of all

and then he was faced with this reality. What's he supposed to do? What should he feel?

“I will tell you everything, even though it feels very late, I hope to fix everything,” Dimitri said again.

The grip of the hand was not at all rejected Liliana, he could consider it as the path of all the flavors he had endured and the pain of losing his woman.

“I'm afraid.”

Dimitri was silent, he knew there was still a continuation of Liliana's sentence.

“I forgive you. I also left because of my wish, this is not your fault. I want to protect myself before it gets hurt deeper, loving you scares me, and I'm not sure I can get through it hard,” Liliana said.

Liliana finally shared her feelings for this man. Yesterday he wasn't sure he could reveal everything, but somehow the courage from where he got to be able to say all that. He doesn't know how Dimitri and Michelle's engagement ends, nor does he seem to want to know.

Although she knew what Michelle was like last time Richard told her, it was all about Dimitri, not Michelle. It did happen in the past, and he believes Dimitri has changed, evident from his current gentle nature. Dimitri never spoke this softly, he only knew how to tease him first.

Liliana had only given a shield to her heart that no one wanted to see. He hoped that with the shield, his heart would be safe, but on the other hand he also missed this man very much. He desperately wants to go back to their happy times before Michelle shows up and messes things up.

His brain and heart were always at odds because of that, the reason he was never ready to face this man. After this meeting, Liliana will gain enlightenment for her heart and brain.

“I want to love you so much, but it always makes me doubt, and it always ends with me thinking things through out loud. I just want to love you like this, but the rest of my heart seems not to allow it,” Liliana said.

“I'll be waiting for you. Use all your time, I will always be here to wait for you.”

Didn't you end?
