“Sorry, Mas Adit. I can't accept offer yesterday.”
A message Sastri sent to Adit after three days of thinking about the possibilities if he accepted the offer. As a result, Adit returned to meet him but this time he chose a place on a beach. Sastri no longer needs to meet Adit at The One club. He has found another way that is more perfect without fear of being discovered by his former best friend.
“Beautiful place to calm down,” Adit said as soon as he got to a comfortable enough place to rest.
“It's here, Mas. Come, please sit down! What do you want to drink?”
Sastri called the waiter and the two ordered drinks to accompany the conversation, which Sastri said would be interesting. Meanwhile, Adit himself was fascinated first when he got there. From a distance he saw a very beautiful Sastri wearing a shirt with a striped motif complete with glasses.
“You are very beautiful with this kind of appearance.”
Sastri smilingly looked at Adit who was also looking at him.
“What Mas has now changed the profession from manager to seducer?”
“I'm telling the truth. You are indeed beautiful and actually from the first time I met I did think so. But, you are prettier when dressed like this.”
“Thank you..”.
“Because we no longer have anything to do with work, so may I if we talk about each person? Honestly, I want to know as much about your personal as –“
“I already have a girlfriend?” sastri replied interrupting Adit's words.
“That's right, if you don't mind.”
“If I had, I wouldn't be here alone.”
The two human children stared intently at each other while hiding their respective goals.
Ummm…
Sastri cut off eye contact first making Adit misbehaved. “Don't look too long later hard to forget.”
The two really talked to each other about trivial things about personal life and of course full of lies. Until finally, Adit asked again the reason Sastri refused the Star Agency offer.
“Too risky, Mas. If everything outside is prepared carefully. And the artists who take shelter are not as free here both in the real world and cyberspace. So, the bad news will not come out easily. Hence, I say that here is too risky.”
“You can make things like outside. I'll talk directly to the Star Agency chief after this.”
“Mas Adit is there only. Where would the Star Agency class leader listen to Mas Adit who is only a manager. It's ah, Mas. Let them find their own way! Ngapain Mas take part. Just focus on Melisa! How's it going now? He must be really sad, right?” Sastri acted very smart to make Adit not one bit suspicious of him.
“Take it easy, Bang Bonar has taken care of everything. He just needs to record everything and even if convicted it might just be a city sentence. There must be a waiver, because he is also still under contract with other parties. Those damn tax officers could also be sued by them because they and Melisa are already under contract.”
Sastri nodded his head as he muttered, “Fucking tax man.”
Their conversation continued until it did not feel the time getting late. Sastri stared at the beautiful sea with the sunlight that began to sink. “Mas no other work after this?”
“No, why?”
“You want to accompany me to dinner?”
Deals that Adit never expected before, “Where?”
“Here. I'm staying here.”
Adit smiled widely and without Sastri guessing, he joined in renting a room right next to Sastri's room. They enjoy dinner in front of the room with a view of the beach illuminated by small lights.
From the distance, some couples can be seen dancing to enjoy the campfire with the sound of romantic music.
“How about we go there? Looks like exciting.”
Sastri was not even able to stare at Adit's face who kept looking at him with a typical male teaser smile. Sastri stuck with his own plan up to –
Cup…
Adit managed to kiss his lips and Sastri was surprised. He immediately broke away from Adit and ran to his room. Adit was surprised by Sastri's reaction a moment ago and he regained consciousness and immediately chased after Sastri.
“Lisa, I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself. I-i'm sorry! Please say something!” Adit spoke in front of Sastri's room. There was no answer from inside the room until Adit decided to open the door. Sastri was standing in the open window staring at the beach.
“I'm sorry. Hit me if it calms you down!”
Adit guiltily turned Sastri's body to face him. He took one of Sastri's hands and smacked it in his face.
“Stop, Mas.”
“Sorry, I'm really sorry. I promise I won't repeat it again.”
Adit keeps apologizing with regret, “I'm also sorry because I'm not used to it.”
Adit smiled and hugged Sastri happily. The flash was again ringing in Sastri's head until he broke away from Adit's embrace.
“Sorry!”
Adit regained consciousness when Sastri did not want to be embraced by him.
“Sorry, Mom. I need some time. There are bad memories here every time I get close to a boy,” Sastri said, pointing to his head.
“I'm also sorry for doing it without permission first.”
“Mas want to drink?”
Both of them spent the night in the room by telling a lot of things while enjoying drinks without alcohol which became Sastri's favorite of course.
“You don't drink?” adit asked curiously when he saw the type of drink on Sastri's table.
“No, Mas. I don't like losing consciousness. Enjoy something without any awareness where it is delicious. No memories left behind, right?”
The night was getting late, Sastri lay down on the bed leaving Adit who was still at home staring at the sea from behind the window.
“Rest! I'll be out.”
Adit put the glass about to leave the room Sastri but the step back stopped, “Does Mas mind if accompany me to sleep?”
Adit immediately turned his back while smiling. Both in a blanket certainly painful for Adit but it was fun for Sastri when both of them dissolved in a long conversation that was unknowingly getting more interesting even more coupled with some jokes and touch and words which Adit says is very ambiguous.
“Mbak Melisa must be angry if she knows Mas again here while she is again in trouble.”
“Mas also need tranquility.”
Dreetts…
“Where are you?”
The contents of the message from Delia of course managed to stop Sastri's words. “Delia is more suitable to be your girlfriend deh Mas.”
“Notice it.”
