That day was the beginning. The day Reynald entered again in Anggi's life. Either plan what God will give to Reynald or Anggi but both agree to live the current relationship casually.
Day after day until the 5th month they go through by connecting via phone or messenger. Every now and then Reynald comes to visit because Anggi has to keep returning to Abu Dhabi to monitor his company. Although actually Reynald more sulking and upset himself when considering He had to undergo a long-distance relationship with Anggi this second time.
Anggi who was focusing on checking several files was startled by the sound of knocking on the door. Anggi stared at the door and saw Mila peering from the outside.
"Sir, there's Mr. Reynald. He's in the lobby. Maybe now it's in the elevator to get here" said Mila.
Anggi sighed while shaking his head. "OKAY. Thank you, Mil" Anggi threw a smile down by Mila and closed the door again.
Anggi then tidied up some files that he had been checking since. Soon the door opened again with Reynald stepping in with a big smile on his handsome face.
"What's going to Abu Dhabi all of a sudden?" Anggi asked as he stood up from his chair and approached Reynald.
After going through many things, things like this do not immediately make Anggi float. Anggi became more cautious in many ways, especially for this kind of surprise which Reynald did very often. So the taste is not right also called a surprise.
Reynald kissed Anggi's forehead gently. "I just got to after the flight quite far, and your response was like this?" Rajuk Reynald's.
Anggi stared at Reynald long enough, trying to read what was there. After going through unexpected events with Reynald in the past, Anggi is less awkward when dealing with Reynald. No more Anggi who blushed embarrassed when Reynald showered him with the word friendly or romantic behavior.
Anggi reviewed his sweet smile and grabbed Reynald's arm to invite him to sit on the sofa. Both of them sat down side by side.
"You have often come here like the distance of Jakarta-Abu Dhabi just like the distance of Jakarta-Bogor. I'm not surprised to see you come here as suddenly as you are now" Anggi said.
Reynald chuckled softly revealing his row of neat and white teeth. "I missed you. That's why any distance won't mean anything to me".
"But you have to pay attention to your health too Rey... Didn't you just come back from a business trip? Renata's mom reported to me".
"The woman's mouth is a bucket once" Gerutu Reynald muttered slightly but could still be caught by Anggi's sense of hearing.
Anggi pinched the small waist of Reynald. "Hey, I'm so grateful to him! We're far apart, I don't know what your real activities are. Renata's mother helped me a lot" Sahut Anggi poked his lips.
"I just work dearly or travel with Jessy".
Anggi stared at Reynald. Looking for an honesty that was indeed emanating from the man's gaze.
Reynald smiled and clasped Anggi's hand. "There's nothing I'm hiding from you, baby. Believe it.."
"Yes, I'm worried that if there's another woman coming to you and admitting she's pregnant with your child. Like the past". Anggi to the point made Reynald feel stuck.
"Maybe there will be.. I don't know for sure" Reynald said ambiguously.
Plaque!
Anggi hit Reynald's shoulder hard until the man complained of pain. "Based on a jerk!" Umpat Anggi looked at Reynald with anger.
"It wasn't enough in the past, huh? I think your weapon needs to be cut so it can't sow any more seeds in any nest!"
Reynald was horrified and grieved when he heard the threat from Anggi. The man immediately held both shoulders of Anggi to point at him.
"I mean that woman is you...."
"Who knows in the future you're pregnant with my child right? Then if my weapon doesn't exist, how can we have a child?" Reynald asked looking at Anggi very seriously.
Anggi frowned digesting for a moment Reynald's speech intent. Anggi pushed Reynald's chest slightly away.
"Who said I wanted to have a child with you? Don't expect to touch me carelessly! Don't equate me with a silly woman!"
Anggi raised his lips not tempted by the death seduction thrown by Reynald. At this time although Anggi followed his heart and received Reynald back, but not denied Anggi more careful. He doesn't want to be a fool who doesn't learn from experience.
Anggi is currently just giving up everything to God. After a failure with Rashaad, He learned resignedly that all plans must return to the Owner of the Universe. So now Anggi is having a second relationship with Reynald flowing like running water without any plans that might adjust the wishful thinking.
"You've eaten? I haven't eaten.. My stomach is hungry..." Reynald said as he stroked his stomach.
Anggi stood up while Reynald looked at him in confusion. "Where are you going?"
"Say you're hungry? Let's go eat!" Anggi said as he pulled Reynald's arm to get up from the sofa. Both of them also without wasting time immediately out of Anggi's office to a restaurant.
Corniche Resto
Reynald looked all over the restaurant with a direct view of the beach. The two were sitting by the window which allowed them to throw as far as his view was outside.
"You remember not being on that beach we were chatting at midnight"
Anggi stared at Reynald's direction and commented on a smile. "Yes. A man who came to the beach in the middle of the night in a tuxedo suit and pantofel shoes"
Reynald laughed amusedly considering his appearance back then. "Well how else? I had a big fight with Clara that night. So I'm lazy to be in a hotel room and just walk away"
Anggi stared at Reynald without blinking with two hands propping up his chin. "You don't look awkward telling your beloved ex-wife to your lover right now" Anggi said with a smile.
Just hearing that made Reynald flutter. He was afraid that Anggi would get angry with him again. I don't know! Reynald feels Anggi who is now very fierce and does not hesitate to show any feelings that are being felt by the woman. To Reynald, the adorable Anggi is gone!
"Eh.. Mm mm.. That's not what I meant..." Reynald was suddenly clumsy.
"Aren't you going to tell me how your bed life is with her?"
Reynald was surprised by Anggi's words. "Darling... No. gabe.. How the hell do I explain it"
"sorry. Okay well? I just want to be nostalgic about us. Not intending to bring Clara in on this" Reynald said in a very serious tone and facial expression.
Anggi stared at Reynald for so long that he finally chuckled in amusement making Reynald frown.
"I'm just kidding, Rey." Anggi said as he clasped Reynald's hand and stared at their fingers that were linked together.
"I already knew the risk when I decided to take you back. You already have Jessy. That's real evidence that there's been a lot going on between you and your ex-wife. I understand and I can accept it. You know too....I also have a past with Rashaad. Although nothing strange happened between us, but Rashaad helped me survive in this country and he filled my days. So I guess we're both the same in this... It's okay"
Reynald was stunned to see the calm emanating from Anggi. No glint of jealousy or teary eyes. The girl who used to be considered sad a long time ago is now transformed into a wise adult woman.
Without responding to Anggi's remarks, Reynald removed his second finger link and reached into his pocket. He took out a small box of fancy black velvet. Reynald opened the box and gave it to Anggi.
"Marry me dear" Sahut Reynald looked at Anggi right into the bead of an eye.
"I know, I might not know myself wanting a single woman to marry me. I who had many of these flaws in the past looked very selfish asking you to come near me for the rest of my life and be a connecting mother to my son..."
"I used to carve.juka for you, I might not be able to make you forget it but right now I promise to make up for every tear drop you shed, the pain you feel for my actions with my whole life until I close my eyes."
No doubt seeing Reynald who proposed to him suddenly made Anggi very surprised. His mouth was clenched tightly because he was confused about what to answer.
"Rey....." Anggi muttered slowly.
"There's no need for you to answer now, baby, if you're confused. I just want you to know that I'm very serious about you. Take this ring... At our next meeting if I see this ring curled up on your finger, then you agree to marry me. But if you don't wear it, I assume you refuse it" Sahut Reynald looked at Anggi with a shady look.
