Pursuing the Love of the Widower

First Kiss

“I've also felt heartbreak like you, Dhis. My pain is even more. It took a long time until I could forget everything,” said Manggala after they were long silent.

“Oh, yes? What did you ever tell that about?” ask Genthis.

“Iya. Before I got to myself who was happy and enjoying like now, I had a slump,” said Manggala. “So, when I saw you, I was like looking at my old self.”

“Indeed you broke up with your partner because of what?” Gendhis ventured to dig deeper into the information about his boss. It happens that the road is jammed, so the travel time to the office becomes a little longer.

“Me and her are almost married. You know, he asked for a break up. It turned out that he was secretly in a relationship with another man. Finally my ex-fiancee married the man,” Manggala replied.

“Yes, geez, so mean yes, they,” Gendhis clucked. Although it was not him who experienced it, but he also felt disappointment and pent-up anger Manggala.

“I often think of taking revenge on them. However, come to think of it, why would I waste energy in vain just for the sake of a situation that would not be possible to return,” Manggala exhaled slowly. Every now and then, his right leg nimblely stepped on the brakes.

“Finally, I steered my resentment, disappointment, and resentment into a positive path. I decided to plunge in total in the world of business and media, so that I could reach my current position,” continued the handsome gondrong-haired man.

While Gendhis was only stunned to hear the explanation of Manggala while occasionally being bearded. “Great you, Ngga. Behind your carefree and contemptuous appearance, it turns out you are a mature and wise person,” his flattery.

“Yes, his name is human, Dhis. Must change in a better direction,” said Manggala.

“Betul also,” Gendhis mangosteen again, then fell silent.

“So how was my offer earlier?” manggala asked breaking the silence.

“Which offer?” Genphis turned her memory. Shortly after, he snapped a finger. “You said it wasn't good to hold a grudge. Why now even invite me to return my heartache to Chand?”

Mangala frowned for a while, then laughed. “Gendhis, Gendhis, you are so innocent,” he said while shaking his head.

“True, ‘kan?” Gendhis scratched his non-itchy head. Either Manggala is slow, or he is. However, come to think of it, it was the nerves of Gendhis that faltered slightly.

“Begini, Dhis. There are two ways to reply, there are negative ways and some are positive. If it's negative, you're not clear angry, keep coming to her house at night. You scrawl the walls of his house, or damage his belongings without his knowledge,” Manggala explained.

“Wah, great idea, tuh!” sahut Gendhis was full of enthusiasm.

“Eh, no! Later you can be sued with him,” prevent Manggala. “Well, the safe thing is to reply in a positive way,”. “Be the best version of yourself. Move on and connect with another guy. Thank goodness we can continue to the marriage stage. Make him regret for ever rejecting you!”

Genphis is speechless. He could only glare towards Manggala. “Angga, you're cool,” hissed unknowingly. Gendhis right hand stretched out, then patted the head of his superior, just as he stroked the head of Miko, Utari's pet cat.

Luckily, Manggala did not seem to object to Gendhis attitude. He leaned over instead, getting closer and closer towards Gendhis, with an indecipherable look of an eye. Or perhaps, that gaze could be interpreted, it was just that Gendhis was too stupid to understand.

“Let me tell you one secret,” whispered Manggala.

“What is it?” Gendhis gulped repeatedly, as Manggala's face drew closer to his.

as he spoke, the man's breath gushed softly at the pretty face of Gendhis.

“Eh, anu, is this not wrong?” Gendhis, increasingly misbehaved, moved backwards along with the advancing Manggala. Even the man took off his seatbelt to keep his face close to Gendhis.

“Nothing's wrong, Dhis. I was always happy when I was close and talked to you like this,” Manggala said. His lips were now completely stuck with those of Gendhis. The man began to enjoy his kiss with the tomboyish girl.

As for Gendhis, he did not know what to do, so he could only be silent. This was her first kiss. No man has ever touched the lips of Gendhis. But he did not refuse or evade. Gendhis could feel the gentleness of the Manggala attitude. The way the handsome man treated his lips, was so warm and sweet.

Darling, that beautiful scene should end when it sounds like a loud honking sound. Apparently, the flow of the vehicle has been smooth since then. While the Manggala car is still in place, making other vehicles behind it unable to go.

“Jeez,” somehow as red as what face Gendhis at that time. She can feel heat all over her body, especially in her head. If seen with the inner eye, maybe the tip of his head is emitting smoke at this time. Unlike Manggala, he still looked calm and relaxed while rubbing his wet lips, as if nothing had happened between the two of them.

After that kiss scene, the two of them dissolved in silence until the vehicle that was boarded, arrived in front of the office building. Gendhis let out a cold sweat, as Manggala came back closer. He thought that the boss would kiss him again. However, Gendhis was wrong.

Manggala turned his body and reached out to the back seat, to pick up the briefcase he had placed there. Before long, he returned to his original position. “Yuk, go down,” he asked when he realized that Gendhis was still flinching. The girl froze and looked like the figure of Malin Kundang who was cursed into stone.

“Dhis?” call Manggala again while holding back laughter. “This is your first kiss, huh?” the canal.

Genphis hesitated. Sometimes he touches his hair in a ponytail.

“Dating yuk, Dhis,” says Manggala.

“Yes, Lord,” Gendhis sighed softly. Not lost his chest pounding with his whole body trembling, now Manggala again issued a statement full of controversy. “You're serious?” asked Gendhis lirih. His knees seemed to be coming off his feet.

“I'm serious,” Manggala replied confidently while laughing. “We just go slowly, yes. You want, ‘kan?” her door.

Gendhis. Fill his head as if it were empty. “Dating? A date? A date? I'm not single anymore?” he said it over and over again in his heart.

“Mau, ‘kan?” asked Manggala in a half-persuading tone.

“Yes, wills,” says Gendhis like a robot. A moment later, he seemed to regret his own reply. But, it has already been. Manggala also looks so happy. He couldn't bear to lose that happiness. Most importantly, he was afraid of being fired.

“Alhamdulillah,” Manggala breathed a sigh of relief, then kissed Gendhis forehead. “Thank you, yes.”

Genphis is speechless. His mouth and throat were dry. He could only nod like an owl.

“Oh, yes, mumpung we are still just so, I want to show you something,” Manggala's right hand outstretched, open the glove box on the dashboard of his car. From inside, Manggala took out a postcard-shaped photograph, and showed it to Gendhis.

“Who is this? Very beautiful, kayak bule,” Gendhis eyes round fascinated.

“He's my ex, his name is Ghea. Ghea Ratri Hapsari,” replied Manggala kalem.
