SWEET COVENANTS

The Sweet Covenant - 23. Appointment

Irina was stunned for a while or maybe actually unknowingly Irina had taken a very long time to stay silent because now the car had entered the mall parking area.

Adrian himself who was just busy driving the car deliberately gave time to Irina to think before answering the question that half-heartedly expressed.

A question that slipped from his mouth that was not in sync with the mindset of Adrian as usual who always think carefully before acting or speaking.

Thinking heavily about her own feelings and trying to feel carefully Irina's feelings made her even more impulsive.

Adrian deliberately did not wait for any answer from Irina, really not a little curious.

If possible, Adrian wants to rewind time and cancel the questions that have been spoken by him.

Their car is now in the basement parking area of the mall. Adrian tried to focus on driving a car, his mind was a little distracted because he was busy looking for an empty parking lot. Especially, Adrian trying to find the parking lot closest to the entrance area of the mall.

As long as Adrian takes the car around to find the most comfortable parking position and according to his taste, as long as Irina can only stay still, down, down, staring at his knees as if there was an answer he could cheat there.

Adrian silently observed Irina's body language from the corner of his eye. Adrian realizes how confused Irina is still to answer her question.

Yes, Irina did not know what to answer Adrian's question that seemed sudden and even it was not a question that could be considered trivial.

That's a tough question.

"Irina, do you hate me?"

The question was short and simple but made Irina did not know at all what to answer.

In fact, Irina even questioned herself.

"Do I hate Adrian?" irina asked herself, who had been echoing repeatedly in her head all the way.

Adrian has now found a parking lot that feels in accordance with his wishes.

Very carefully Adrian positioned the parked car neatly right next to the entrance of the mall area.

Perfect fit, according to taste.

"We have arrived" said Adrian to make Irina a little surprised.

Adrian's words awaken Irina from her daydream that lasted throughout the journey.

Irina didn't say a word. He immediately unlocked the seatbelt that had been instrumental throughout the journey keeping him safe from car shocks that might have been inevitable.

Irina pretended to be busy tidying up her long straight hair, not knowing whether to answer Adrian to the previous question or just ignore it and rush out of the car to then enter the area in the mall to meet Rian, his lover.

"Forgot just my question."

Irina gasped at the short series of words that had just slid from Adrian's mouth.

"What?" asked Irina plainly while staring fixedly at the face of Adrian who just stared straight ahead.

"I said, forget about my question, then" Adrian said flatly and began to be busy removing his seatbelt, preparing to get out of the car after turning off the engine that roared smooth.

Now Adrian has come out of the car followed by Irina who finally established themselves to get out of the car to catch up with Adrian after being just silent and do not know how.

Adrian first stepped towards the entrance of the mall while Irina was struggling to catch up with Adrian with small and fast steps.

"It sucks!" curse Irina.

"Why does Adrian always confuse, you ice man!" curtuknya again while staring at the wide back of Adrian who was behind him

.

Irina began to resign to try to pursue Adrian's steps. In the end Irina chose to walk casually behind Adrian.

Previously Irina had told me where Irina and Rian were making the appointment. And it seems Adrian doesn't have to wait for Irina just to show me the cafe they met. Adrian step looks steady to approach the destination by itself.

Irina looked at the figure of Adrian who was a little far in front of her. The broad-looking back of an adult man belonging to Adrian felt a cold aura to Irina.

Hollowly.

Irina let out a long sigh then suddenly Irina's mind drifted into the past, at a dozen years that had passed and would not return.

Irina is actually remembering her childhood when she and Adrian often play together with warmth, carefree carefree without burden.

That warm figure had now turned so cold. Irina felt foolish for the umpteenth time repeatedly having to return to the same point of complaint that Adrian, her brother had changed.

Irina doesn't hate.

Irina just feels, foreign!

Irina continued to notice Adrian's figure behind her and realized that her brother was no longer a child.

Yes, Adrian has metamorphosed into an adult male.

The tall body, wide and sturdy back and neat haircut coupled with the way Adrian dress that looks cool, typical of quality intelligent men.

Actually Adrian only uses a plain dark blue collared T-shirt and combined with long jeans and white sneakers, but from a simple look it even gives the impression of an understated adult.

"My brother is cool!" praise Irina for Adrian who is not delivered, only stored in his heart.

Irina herself actually also looks sweet with her appearance that always accentuates the strong feminine side.

Irina wore a plain pastel pink canal skirt, decorated with a small brown sling bag and matching brown short boots that had always been her favorite. His long hair was deliberately tied to a ponytail, wearing a matching colored hair tie with the clothes he was wearing. Fashionable, simple, and beautiful.

Ah...! If Adrian and Irina had chosen to walk side by side, they would have looked like a very compatible couple.

And, they should have been.

Unfortunately, maybe it is not the time yet.

***

Adrian has arrived in front of the cafe area where Irina and Rian promised to meet.

The place is a cafe located in the middle of the area in the mall.

A gathering place for visitors to just enjoy hot coffee and the like juxtaposed with pastry cakes.

Comfortable interior shades with dominating pastel chocolate color look very pampering the eye that is looking.

It is clearly written the identity of the cafe Adrian and Irina will visit to meet Rian as "D'Cafey - Coffe and Pastry".

From a distance Adrian can see the figure of Rian who was sitting relaxed while enjoying a cup of cappuccino.

Adrian can catch a pair of eyes Rian who is very excited to look at Irina who has now managed to catch up with Adrian and has been standing next to him.

Jealousy again began to crawl Adrian's heart. I want Adrian to attract Irina not to spend time with Rian even though just sitting sweet and having a light conversation.

"Patience!" rutuk Adrian in his heart.

Rian who was seen wearing a white T-shirt bearing the word "VANZ" which dominated the entire chest area of his field also wore a matching light brown hat with his trousers now waved his hands towards Irina, trying to make it easier for Irina to meet him.

Successfully finding Rian's whereabouts, Irina shows a sumringah face and waves at Rian, impatient to approach him.

Adrian is getting jealous!

Not wanting to be caught up with the inner conflict, Adrian chose to release Irina to come to Rian.

"Go, don't go anywhere until I get back," chirped Adrian coldly, inviting Irina.

"Wait for me to come back."

Irina is a little surprised to learn Adrian is going to leave her to spend time in the cafe without her supervision.

A question now escaped his tiny mouth, questioning Adrian's attitude.

"Sister, where are you going?" tanyakanya.

Adrian melengos left after briefly answering and half-heartedly impressed to answer Irina's question.

"Buy the suitcase," replied Adrian quickly.

"Suit?" inner Irina was a little confused while removing the figure of Adrian until lost on the escalator stairs, towards the top floor.
