Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

Thirty Eight

Shanessa and Gantari sat facing each other. For the first time they spoke together after the incident revealed Gantari's status as Nevan's ex-wife.

"Sorry ...." Shanessa paused her words for a moment. It still feels so hard to talk normally with Gantari. "Sorry for the last moment."

Gantari. Yes, from that moment he just looked down. Feeling like a sinner is destroying someone's future. "I understand and understand the incident."

Shanessa nodded. The atmosphere was quiet again, until Shanessa returned to voice. "I'm going to college again. This time I want to take the Department of Financial Management."

Gantari frowned not understanding. "Aren't you an artist?"

Shanessa shook her head slowly. Perhaps, it was time for him to share the unrest with Gantari so that their relationship could be more humane.

"I took art as a form of rebellion on Grandfather," I Shanessa, who immediately made Gantari surprised to hear it.

"From the beginning, the company was prepared to wait for you." Shanessa looked teary-eyed, but she continued, "For the daughter of Om Awan."

Gantari suddenly felt her heart tight. He had been laughing and encouraging Shanessa to finish college immediately, without knowing the true feelings of the cousin.

"But now, I will compete with you to be the best in grandfather's eyes." Shanessa looked up and looked at Gantari with a faint smile.

Hearing him made Gantari nod in relief. "Fight you want Shaness to fight, because sometimes the world doesn't care so much about us" he said.

"What about you?" Shanessa glanced, "It seems like you're not fighting for Nevan" he continued.

Shanessa's words just made Gantari flutter. He wanted to talk, but Shanessa interrupted, "Don't give up again. Sometimes I'm lazy to fight, because you're too relentless."

Shanessa smiles. His smile was starting to warm.

"I'm beautiful, smart, and sociable. Finding someone like Nevan won't be hard for me" he said in a trembling voice.

Gantari got up and hugged her cousin tightly. Shanessa hugged him back. They end up fighting together, though the cafe visitors stare curiously at them.

***

Gantari had just got out of a taxi and was walking towards her house. He thought he would buy a motorcycle to be more free everywhere.

From far away he saw a man standing on the porch of his house. It wasn't Nevan, because his height was normal, unlike Nevan who was too towering.

"Farez?"

The man turned his body and returned the greeting cheerfully. "Hi."

They sat on the patio chair, after Gantari made him a cup of tea.

"I heard Shanes' marriage was off" Farez began.

Gantari bit her lower lip, then gave a short nod.

"Have you decided to go back to Nevan?"

"Not yet" replied Gantari.

Gantari's reply just opened up a disappointed space in Farez's heart, but he continued, "Not yet, doesn't mean no, does it?"

Gantari was silent. He looked down, staring at his hand that was clinging to his lap.

"Tell me Dihyan ..." Farez paused his words, waiting for Gantari to return her gaze. "Do I have to keep going or better just back off?"

Gantari did not answer again. He just kept quiet. For him, Farez's services to his mother will not be able to pay forever. His gratitude to the young doctor made him confused about taking a stand. It's not that he didn't know about Farez's feelings for her all this time.

"If you want me to keep going, please say," Farez said, "If not, then I have to step down" Farez said. He's coming down. Look at the cup of tea that is still intact.

"Sorry."

Farez looked up, looking at Gantari who finally made a sound, albeit one word. In that case, he hopes that Gantari will remain silent, so there is still a reason for him to keep fighting for Gantari's heart.

Farez let out a long sigh, then smiled blandly.

"Ok, I have to go back to the hospital now" Farez said after drinking the tea.

"If you feel uncomfortable with my presence, I will not show up. But, if you don't mind, sometimes I will ask you how you are, " said Gantari.

Farez looked at Gantari deeply, then nodded in agreement. He will rise when something is remembered by him.

"Oh, yes. My offer problem the other day. That still won't change. Angkasa Group .... Anytime you can work there."

***

It seemed that Farez would feel even more awkward if Gantari turned down his offer, so today he went to Angkasa Group to apply for a job.

"Miss Gantari Dihyan Irawan?" greet a serepsionist.

Gantari was surprised, but then he quickly replied.

"Yes?"

"Space is waiting for you. Please come through here," said the friendly receptionist.

Gantari was shocked again. She awaited?

Finally Gantari was taken to the third floor, precisely to a spacious room typical of the company leadership.

"ah! Gantari Dihyan Irawan's. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A strapping man with yellow skin immediately stood up to greet him, but that was not what bothered Gantari, but the CEO's long hair with long eyebrows to shoulder.

The beautiful receptionist came out and went right out of there. Leaving Gantari and gondrong, uh, Space.

"Good morning, Mr. Angkasa," said Gantari. In his heart he began to compare Farez with this Space.

"Good morning. Come on, please sit down."

Gantari according to and transfer her job application file to Angkasa.

"no need. I've read all about you." A grin appeared on the lips of Space.

Gantari raised her eyebrows inexplicably.

"It turns out your memory is bad too, yes," said Angkasa.

He pressed his elbow against the handle of the chair, then twirled his index finger near the right forehead while slowly saying, "Group Force ... Sasongko .. illegal ...."

Oh, shite!

Gantari immediately stood up and stared at Space sharply. He remembered very well the incident in Semarang with Fikri to solve the problem with Mr. Sasongko who suddenly decided to break his contract.

"So that's you?"

Space laughs. "Casual .. relaxing. The world is narrow, dear."

Gantari. Now he doesn't care if this Space is Farez's cousin even once.

"Truely said people, your charisma is undeniable," said Angkasa salut.

Gantari laughed blandly. "of course. And, a charismatic person like you doesn't fit me at all" he bursts out, then Gantari steps out of there at a rapid pace.

*Satan with unemployment.

Fuck the weight*!

Gantari pulls out her phone to call Nevan, but she uncovers it.

Do what too?
