Misunderstand

"How are you?"

The lady in a light blue dress walked up to Kaivan and sat down next to him. Perfume aroma of jasmine that should be fragrant, contaminated with the aroma of cigarettes are quite stinging. However, the woman who is none other than Nadhea is not uncomfortable in the least. He remained seated while playing the glass of drink brought from inside.

"I'm good, you yourself how are you? When's arriving?" Kaivan turned his head and found a graceful figure of nan ayu.

In the natural texture, as well as the neatly bunned hair with a little dangling parts, Nadhea looks more beautiful than the last time they met. For a few seconds, Kaivan was fascinated and did not blink. But then he regained consciousness and turned his eyes.

"About half an hour ago, and .. thank God my news is good too." Nadhea smiled sweetly. Very charming, but dear Kaivan is not staring.

"Why be alone here?" nadhea continued before Kaivan opened his voice.

Kaivan smiled, then exhaled his cigarette smoke away from Nadhea.

"There is a sultry, I came here to catch the wind" he said.

"Oh. I ... just found out you smoke."

Kaivan glanced at it, then clasped his cigarette tighter. However, for a few seconds not sucked, it is allowed to burn by itself.

"This is the first time because the work is crowded. People say, cigarettes can relax the mind. So, I'll try." Kaivan replied with a wry smile.

He remembered the past—when he didn't pass the test. He was messed up and wanted to calm himself down with something, back then his choice was alcohol. Now, he feels the same. However, the choice does not fall on alcohol, but cigarettes. Cigarettes are better than alcohol.

Nadhea lowered her head, "I'm not sure why you smoke because of work. I thought you were thinking about Luna. Kai, it should be your wedding day with her, right? Does that mean you still love her?" inner Nadhea.

"Lately been busy, huh?" ask Kaivan. In the past month, they have rarely been in contact. Kaivan's phone is often ignored, and with messages, Nadhea is always slow to reply.

"Yes. I'm learning to work" replied Nadhea.

"Well, what about divorce? He's not making things difficult for you, is he?"

"I'm .. not divorced." Nadhea said as she looked at Kaivan. Arsen's problem was not told to anyone, including Kaivan. Nadhea did not want her husband's disgrace to spread everywhere.

"Not divorced?" Kaivan frowned in wonder.

Nadhea shook her head, "Actually Mas Arsen is home."

"Return? You mean dead?" asked Kaivan who was then responded with a nod.

"What's going on? Why suddenly die? That's ... when did it happen?" To his surprise, Kaivan showered Nadhea with many questions.

"About two months ago. Mmm, can't ask the cause, can you?" nadhea answered slowly.

Silence is again the main character. Neither Kaivan nor Nadhea opened their voices. Both dissolve in their minds. Nadhea thought of Kaivan who she thought still loved Luna— who without being asked made her heart tight. Kaivan thinks about what happened to Arsen. Nadhea's silence made Kaivan guess a lot.

Shortly after, Kaivan turned his head and looked at Nadhea. The woman was silent and lowered her head, only her fingers moved slightly wiping the drink glass.

"You're so lost, huh?" asked Kaivan with a slight hesitation.

Nadhea took a deep breath before answering.

"Don't be a close person, a neighbor who is a little far away, if we die we must feel lost" he said.

"Even if that person ever hurt you?"

This time Nadhea turned her head and met Kaivan.

"Yes. No matter how bad he is, it does not close the fact that he is my husband. Disappointed, maybe it is. But that doesn't mean hate. He's a close man, not much different from Papa and Luna."

"A very wise thought" said Kaivan. His lips smiled widely, but not with his heart. Out of nowhere, suddenly there was pain when he heard Nadhea's response to Arsen.

"Actually the attitude is good, but why does it feel uncomfortable? It actually makes sense that he feels lost, but I'm not willing. What's wrong with me?" inner Kaivan.

After that, the conversation between the two became awkward. Then, Kaivan took Nadhea to the banquet. Nadhea did not refuse. After finishing the drink, he moved and stepped into Kaivan. However, his steps suddenly flashed and almost fell. Luckily, Kaivan caught his waist swiftly.

Between the cool night breeze, under the slightly dim flickering lights, Kaivan and Nadhea pose in the style of romance films. Kaivan hugged Nadhea's waist tightly, while Nadhea's hands clasped Kaivan's arms tightly. Not only that, their eyes also stared at each other and locked in a straight line. I don't know what is thought in each other's minds, only God and they only know (in fact, the author also does not know🙃🙃🙃)

"Ehm, sorry, sorry" Nadhea said as her consciousness recovered.

"You, is it okay?" Kaivan unraveled the embrace and then stepped back. Not upset, but because the heart is beating fast. He didn't want Nadhea to hear it.

On the other hand, Nadhea cursed inwardly. After the sweet scene that made his heart rustle, now he was faced with the most embarrassing scene his—high hells broke.

"Why?" ask Kaivan.

"I'm a fool, I can't see what's quality." Nadhea gripped the high hells without looking at Kaivan— too embarrassed.

"I shouldn't be fooled by cheap prices. Ah, this must be obsolete. Worth the discount up to seventy percent. Duh, should use the old high hells, maybe more secure," Nadhea grumbled inwardly.

"Don't frown, just wear Athreya's. Your posture is not much different from him, there must be a suitable one," said Kaivan.

"Yes." Yeah."

Seriate...
