The Past...Ye

38

Runa smiled to himself imagining Arsan who did not know his address. Arsan hasn't asked that since. It was almost 7 p.m., but Runa was not prepared at all. Arsan will not pick him up either.

Suddenly there was the sound of a car parked in front of his house. Shortly after, the door of his room was knocked by his assistant.

"Sorry Mom, someone wants to see you. His name is Mr. Arsan".

"Arsane? Yes, I'm down..".

Arsan? How does he know Runa's home address? Soon Runa came down to make sure that he was really Arsan.

"Are you not ready yet? I told you I'd pick you up at 7 and you should be ready.."

Runa did not have time to say hello he was sacked by Arsan.

"For a moment, I never felt I knew my address to you. Do you know where you're from?"

"Udah, discuss that later. Now you are ready - ready. How late?"

Runa had to return to her room to prepare. Arsan is really weird, he knows where Runa's address is? It's really strange, don't don't don't it'll do evil later. Watch it!

Arsan's eyes sparkled when he saw Runa who looked beautiful with a long dress wrapped in peach color that looks very fitting on his body.

"Arsan, do you know where my address is? I never told you. I don't want to come with you before you tell me the truth".

Arsan smiled looking at Runa who looked more beautiful as she pouted. "Yes, yeah. From Melda"

Oh, Melda? This must be one of the candidates he sent me. Inner Runa. Watch out for that kid later. Why is Runa unconscious? He first met Arsan at his wedding.

Along the way in the car Runa did not want to talk. He only answered when Arsan asked.

"Why so jutek? You're not sincere about me?"

Runa had to smile, "No. I'm willing to help you."

Runa was actually upset with Melda who kept trying to introduce her to her male friends. Because he doesn't want to deal with and relate to any man. Because he's not ready if he's gonna get hurt again.

Not long after they arrived in front of a luxury building where Arsan's friend's birthday party was held.

"Are you sure the show's here?".

Arsan nodded. "Know it. Why?"

"It's my friend's birthday too. Your friend Jesslyn Wang?"

Arsan nodded with a smile. "You're Jesslyn's friend too?"

Runa smiled and told her that she had been friends with Jesslyn for a long time and now also became a working partner in her company. Likewise with Arsan he was also so excited to tell that Jesslyn was his college friend until now.

"It turns out the world isn't as wide as we think it is, is it? Would that let's go in now?".

Runa nodded and Arsan welcomed his hand.

When they entered Jesslyn, it was the one who welcomed the guest. "Arsan?".

When he turned to look next to Arsan, there was also Runa. "You came with Runa?"

"So now you're related to Runa?". When Runa wanted to shake his head, Arsan nodded. Arsan glanced at Runa who was glaring at him.

"Thank God that's it. You know Runa you're lucky because Arsan chose you. Because the Arsan I know is a loyal and very loving figure. Easy - hopefully after this alu get a wedding invitation huh?". Jesslyn smiled.

"Surely, are you waiting?" Arsan is chiming in. Then Jesslyn drove them into entertaining and eating the dishes.

"You what - what the hell? We have nothing to do with anything". Runa half whispered.

Arsan just smiled and held Runa's hand. Runa was shocked.

"Udah, play your part tonight well. You don't want us to be caught lying?".

"But still, lie you're missing..".

Arsan does not speak of Runa. He just looked smilingly at the sullen Runa.

On the eve of her birthday, Jesslyn asks all her invited guests to dance with her and her boyfriend on the dance floor. Hearing Jesslyn's statement, Runa finally realized that's why it was required to bring a partner. But it also means he has to dance with Arsan. Thought Arsan next to him and it turns out Arsan is looking at him smiling.

Runa nodded slowly. But Arsan smiled.

Arsan got up towards Runa, asking gently to dance.

"If you don't want to, they'll suspect that we're not lovers. Remember that? Do your role well..". Arsan half whispered.

Finally Runa is willing to accompany Arsan to the dance floor. Runa and Arsan face each other. I don't know why Runa arrived - suddenly felt deg - degan. Arsan took a step forward, Runa took a step back. And so on until a few times.

Arsan smiled, "If we keep going like this, people are suspicious dong?".

Finally, Runa stopped.

While waiting for the music to be played, Arsan grabbed Runa's left arm and put it on her waist. One more hand Runa held. Arsan smiled making Runa's chest less and less because of beating. Don't - don't Arsan can hear his heartbeat at this time because of his so-so gurgling.

Music is played softly. But Runa could not enjoy it, because his heart did not beat normally when his eyes met directly with Arsan's eyes.

"You nervous, huh?".

Arsan's question is correct. But Runa wouldn't admit it.

"No".

"Just enjoy the music, don't care about me..".

As Arsan said, it is better to enjoy the music. Runa closed her eyes slowly enjoying the beautiful music. Without Runa realizing it he danced to the music square. Until the music stopped and the rumbling sound of Runa's applause opened his eyes.

He realized that his head was still in Arsan's chest. Soon he was a little away from Arsan.

"Sorry.."

Arsan smiled sweetly, "Your dance was pretty good too".

Runa blushed in embarrassment, "Thank you. You too."

"Arsan, I'm going to the toilet for a second, okay?".

Arsan nodded with a smile.
