"Nissa, will you be my best friend?" ask Ardian again.
JEDERR
Nissa's face turned pias hearing Ardian's question. Am I expecting too much from Ardian sir?
Nissa smiled wryly. As commanded Nissa nodded weakly.
"Do you seriously want to be my best friend?" ardian asked, he looked at Nissa looking for honesty in the girl's eyes.
"Yes, sir" he said with a forced smile.
Ardian smiled with satisfaction. He's very happy. Let us be friends this time, it would be strange if I directly expressed my love for him. His mind while looking at Nissa who turned her gaze towards the garden.
In contrast to Ardian. Nissa's heart aches when she finds out that her boss only wants her to be a best friend. He had mistaken it. Nissa is like a flower that withers before it develops.
Without feeling the day began afternoon. Ardian invited Nissa home. But previously they picked up assistant Roli first at the location of the shopping center construction project.
Along the way, Ardian takes Nissa to talk. Even he deliberately chose to sit in front so that he could more freely chat with the owner of his heart.
"Nis, when are you from martial arts?" ask Ardian.
"No idea, sir," replied Nissa.
"Gosh, Nis. We've become friends. Why is your way of speaking still like that?" ask Ardian wonder.
"Keep I should talk like what?" ask Nissa.
"Yes, if it's like you're talking to your best friend."
Roli's assistant who was sitting at the back frowned in surprise at the intertwined interaction between Ardian and Nissa. He secretly smiled to himself. Apparently you've gone a step further, Di. His inner.
"I can't, sir" said Nissa.
"It should be, it's an order" Ardian said.
"If I don't want to, how?"
Ardian turned his head towards Nissa who was focused on driving the car. Especially at night like this the rider must be more focused and careful.
"If you don't want to, I cut your salary" he threatened, believing that Nissa would definitely obey him.
"Ck, he said friend. Did someone cut his best friend's salary?" nissa asked annoyed, her face already pouting.
"There," said Ardian quickly.
"Who?"
"Me" replied Ardian proudly. A second later he laughed. While Nissa and Assistant Roli could only stare in wonder at Ardian's behavior.
Seeing no reaction from Nissa, Ardian closed his mouth immediately. He threw his gaze towards the dark forest they were passing through at this moment.
Nissa glanced at Ardian, she thought Ardian was angry so Nissa finally succumbed to the master whose hobby forced it.
"alright, sir. I'll comply with your request, but on one condition,"
"What's the condition?" sahut Ardian fast.
"Raise my salary," Nissa gave a small smile.
"You are, your own friends in such a squeeze" said Ardian annoyed.
"Well, if you don't want to,"
"OK, okay. Your salary I raise," he said quickly.
"Ready, boss. From today let's get along" said Nissa.
"Basst duitan eyes" said Ardian, but a smile appeared on his face.
***
Without feeling a week already Nissa and Ardian officially became 'friends'. Friend in the true sense according to Nissa, but friend in quotation marks for Ardian.
Ardian was checking the financial statements when Verica the younger sister walked into his room.
"Master Ardian Sanjaya," he called.
Ardian. "Why are you here?" asked the older brother, he immediately closed his laptop.
"It's because of brother."
"Why is it with me?" ask Ardian.
Ica breathed slowly. "So I told you I wanted to see my girlfriend, but until now there's no news,"
Ardian scrunched his forehead. He only remembered now that he had promised to meet with his sister's lover and talk about their relationship.
"Sorry, I forgot,"
"Most reasons" Ica said.
"Uh, don't be angry dong my beautiful and cute sister, the ugly will disappear, loh" he chanted.
"So what the hell, anyway," said Ica annoyed.
"So, I've been really busy these past few weeks. Tomorrow, we meet. All of you sisters want to introduce you to the bodyguard that you were talking about back then, don't you want to meet him?"
"really?"
"Yes, right," Ardian assured his sister.
"Son didn't lie, did he?" ask Ica full of search.
"No," he said.
"Promise, yes," Ica pointed her little finger in front of Ardian.
"Ck, just like a child" said the older brother.
Ardian links his little finger to Ica's little finger. Things like this have always been done since they were kids.
"Where did you sleep tonight?" ask Ardian.
"I slept in a hotel, brother,"
"Why not stay in your own apartment. As I recall you have an apartment in the Cempaka area," said Ardian.
"I've sold it" he said, relaxing.
"Well, how can you?" Ardian glared after hearing that.
"Yes, it's quiet."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Lazy," said Ica.
"Reason?" ask Ardian again.
"If I say it must be the brother who bought it, if the price is appropriate, it does not matter. The problem is that you always bid the price of goods too cheap" replied Ica finally.
Ardian chuckles with Ica. His sister is speaking too honestly.
***
Today Ardian took Nissa to a shopping mall. There they will meet Ica and her lover.
"Sir Ardian!" Ica waved her hand as Ardian entered one of the fried chicken restaurants in the shopping mall.
Ardian waved his hand as well. He turned to Nissa and gave her a code to follow her immediately.
"You guys have been here a long time?" ask Ardian. He takes a seat right in front of Ica's boyfriend while Nissa sits right in front of Ica.
"No, we just arrived" Ica replied.
The man sitting beside Ica extended his hand to Ardian.
"Include me, my name is Joko" he said politely.
"I am Ardian Sanjaya, Ica's sister, your boyfriend," Ardian replied, he welcomed Joko's hand warmly.
"Hi, I'm Ardi's sister, Ica" this time Ica extended her hand to Nissa.
Nissa was told by Ardian that they would meet Ica and her boyfriend today.
"Hi, I'm Nissa" replied Nissa as she was.
"You guys dating?" ask Ica suddenly.
Instantly Ardian became clumsy, his face flushed red. Nissa finds out that Ardian's body immediately snatches Ica's question.
"No, we're not lovers like you" Nissa said, she didn't want anyone to misunderstand.
"Oh, I thought you were dating. So this is the bodyguard that Ardi told me about back then?" ask Ica.
"Yes, what do you think? He's cool, right?" ask Ardian.
Ica gave her thumb. Then he looked at Nissa's face fixedly.
"It looks like I know you" Ica said later. "I think we've met, but where?"
Nissa also thought about where she met Ica, because she also felt familiar with the face of Ardian's sister.
"God! You're Annissa from LJ subdistrict, huh?" ask Ica later. He began to remember.
"Yes" said Nissa.
"You've been to that provincial-level martial arts match, right? That's right before you fight, right?" tanya Ica.
"Yes, right. How do you know it?" ask Nissa wonder.
Ica wakes up and approaches Nissa. Then she hugged Nissa tightly. Nissa and Ardian were confused by Ica's sudden behavior.
"Nissa, I miss you. Have you forgotten me?" ask Ica while sobbing.
Nissa is getting confused with Ica. Ardian was also shocked to see his sister suddenly crying while hugging Nissa.
As Nissa rounded her eyes, she seemed to remember something.
"You...?"
