Should I Joke (Again)

44. Stop bothering her

While Rei rested in his private home, in another place Ardan was heading to a cafe in one corner of the city.

He had previously arranged a meeting with someone he had wanted to meet for a long time.

Once stuck in traffic because of the clock home from work, finally the car he drove entered the cafe yard. The classic nuances of the building and its interior, make visitors feel at home.

Entering the room that looks crowded by visitors, this simple cafe has been standing since a few years ago. It's just that since the old owner chose to move abroad, it was finally abandoned.

But with a little touch, without changing the shape of the original building, who would have thought now much more visitors. Yes, this cafe used to belong to business partner Ardan and his best friend.

Starting from the hobby of hanging out and drinking coffee, finally Ardan, Fariz and Bimo plan to open angkringan-style students. Joint capital is also the way, but they are not desperate. From just a simple place rental, with a simple menu ala students in general. And save in the bag of course, who would have thought their business continues to be crowded.

Then seeing there is an old building untouched, Ardan whose basic architect asked his papa support to rent the building. But it turns out that Fariz who first saw the opportunity even rented it. With the help of Ardan, the old building was transformed into a cafe with a classic feel. Although actually Ardan has started pioneering the restaurant business that he manages himself, but he did not hesitate to help his friends start a cafe business.

After making the concept of the cafe, the menu and all the supporting factors, the cafe finally stood. Two years later Fariz decided to accept a job offer at one of the automotive companies in America, he resigned from cafe management. Not long after, Bimo who married one of the daughters of a textile businessman in Australia.

Finally Ardan himself who resurrected the cafe so that it became bigger as it is today. If Fariz used to rent it, then this time Ardan bought it of course through his papa connection. And about the management of the cafe, Fariz and Bimo have already surrendered completely to Ardan.

Towards this weekend, the cafe is crowded visited by the majority of students and employees, they unwind after a week-long routine. Especially at Sunday night, it is much more crowded because there is live music every week. And the filler of the show is also not only an indie singer in this city, visitors can show their talent here.

But if you do not dare to appear in front of many people, they can choose the karaoke room next to this cafe. In addition to the menu is diverse and also fit in the bag, the service is also satisfying. That's why this cafe is always crowded.

Enjoy a cup of expresso served by the waiter, making his mind calmer. The aroma is really soothing, it deserves a variety of coffee menu here is always champion, because the barista is really good at concocting coffee according to order.

Occasionally his eyes seemed to be watching the door where guests began to arrive, his gaze fixed on one of the young executives whose height was almost the same as him. The difference is that the man looks more mature according to his age. Ardan recognized him, he was an Eagle.

Earlier this afternoon before heading here, Ardan took the time to meet with one of his clients. Planning to rent a cafe for an office gathering, who would have thought that the one who contacted him was the ex-boyfriend of his lover, as well as the person who made their relationship tenuous lately.

Fortunately the Eagle did not know Ardan as Rei's lover, so he did not know that this meeting at once Ardan used to speak four eyes about Rei.

Looks Eagle headed towards him with ushered by one of his employees. They shook hands, while waiting for drinks to come they also talked about the gathering. It looks familiar, because both Ardan and Eagle are people who easily blend, so it is not difficult to get to know new people.

Sometimes they talk about personal issues, about their lives and work. Who would have thought if both were rivals. Yes they both like a woman, and they are also involved with her. If the Eagle is Rei's past, then Ardan is Rei's future.

It did not take long, the familiarity was established and the cooperation between the two also reached an agreement. Both of them enjoyed the menu delivered by the waiter. But after all that familiarity was established, Ardan began to make his point.

"Bro, I'm sorry, was your office named Renita?" ask Ardan pretend. He wanted to know how far the Eagle answered his question honestly.

The eagle seemed surprised by the question, how could this person in front of him know Rei. Rei is not a rigid person, but to get to know him also takes time. The proof is almost four years know and close to Rei, the Eagle can only win his heart after the fifth year, and the, when they had decided to have a serious relationship, it turned out that he himself was the one who disappointed Rei and broke off the relationship unilaterally because of his past mistakes.

And he only realized that his mistake with Rei was already inexcusable, proven until this moment Rei would no longer be in contact with him. Even though it was limited to leadership and subordinates, Rei always looked for reasons to avoid it.

"Yes, he was one of the senior employees there." The eagle then took his drink, with eyes still watching Ardan.

" Hey, how do you know him? as far as I know Rei was a little difficult to make friends" he said later.

Ardan smiled, The eagle must be suspicious and will ask all about Rei. But unfortunately Ardan had already established Rei as his own so he would never let go, let alone his ex.

He'll just play a little bit with it. He already knew who his rival was this time, it was not difficult for him to find information about the Mighty Eagle of Nature. But he is also not a difficult opponent to tackle. Seeing his efforts all this time back nearing Rei, even the items he gave were not small.

But Ardan still won, because he knew the plausibility points. Rei was not a materialist woman, who simply by being given a gift was easily subdued. Evidently all the Eagle gifts were not one that Rei opened, even some were immediately returned.

It's time for a man-to-man conversation, so let's get started. If later there must be fierce competition, hopefully it can be sportsmanlike. Here we go

"I didn't know her by accident, and as you know Rei wasn't an easily conquered woman." Ardan chuckled considering his first meeting.

"Keep how did you get close to Rei? don't tell me you're interested in him either" asked the full-fledged Hawk.

Ardan chuckled, he puffed his lips and raised one of his eyebrows. The eagle knew there was another meaning to the look on the man's face before him.

"Why not, Rei is beautiful and the more noticed he is attractive. Which man does not want to be close to him, including you too" replied Ardan, and it spontaneously made the Eagle stunned.

"Well, it looks like I'll have a tough rival this time around. Rei is indeed beautiful and personally attractive. He's really not conquered." The eagle, however, did not deny the fact that Rei was indeed different from other women who had been close to him, including his ex-wife.

" Yes, and I hope you're being sporty this time. Because whatever Rei's decision is, we have to respect it." Ardan still believed that he was one step ahead.

"Alright, because it's a matter of the heart. We compete in a healthy way. How's it?" still with his pede the Eagle replied.

"okay, deal. But if Rei has already chosen his decision, I hope you stop bothering him." still in a relaxed yet firm tone, Ardan stuck out his right hand.

Ardan still hasn't opened up who he is, because to him it doesn't matter. Now it was time for him to act quickly to make Rei his, the only one. And this man is just an ex that Ardan would easily get rid of if he wanted to.

But it seems that he does not want to be rash, because Rei can increasingly reject it if he does rough things. "Okay Ardan, get ready you immediately make Rei yours, only yours." Ardan's inner.

The two then shook hands, and since the watch had already shown the number nine, Ardan then said goodbye. He'll meet someone to smooth out his mission this time.

Who her? only Ardan and Otor know😅.
