The Past...Ye

"Melda? Ye...Melda right?" someone came over to Melda.

Runa stopped chewing her food, but still lowered her head not daring to turn to the sound source that made her heart arrive - suddenly beating faster. That's sound....Abay's!

"L-yes.. I'm Melda, but you.. Ouch.. Who the hell? I forgot - forgot to remember.."

"Hayoo's... Gini's handsome guys still don't remember?"

"Come! Abay's? Aye right? You Abay? Bener... You how are you?"

"Well right. How are you also doing? Prosperous even more.."

"Yes, you have never changed?"

Abay smiled as he glanced at Runa who was still down, he knew that it was Runa.

"Sound, forgot!" a moment later Melda whispered something to Runa, then Runa turned to the direction where Abay was standing still somewhat downcast, not wanting to directly look at the man she missed so much.

"Bay, know this friend and friend, and my boss at the office.."

Abay extended his hand to Runa, a bit hesitant but still welcomed Runa, hopefully he does not look like a misbehavior. The two met each other like they had never met before. And Abay just kept smiling towards Runa, I don't know what that smile was.

"Na, this is Abay my friend from college. As long as you know yes, Abay this is a humorous person abis, there is - there is anything that can make you laugh.. " Melda told me about Abay who was actually known by Runa. Runa only smiled occasionally glancing at Abay, and when Abay glanced at him, he immediately threw his face in another direction.

"You can just. Oh yeah, I'm bothering you guys?"

"Not at all know, this is still lunchtime, right? What are you doing here yourself? Do you usually eat lunch here?"

"Not often either.. Just happened to pass through the area here continue all lunch with friends - office friends also.."

Melda nodded - nodding. The two for a while asked each other about the news, work and even a partner. Understandably at that time they were close friends, after almost 2 years and then met again. Runa just kept quiet about both. Don't know what to say either.

"Mel, have you merried yet? Other friends even have one child, two.. You when?" tanya Abay is sure.

"Are you really?" Melda asked back.

Runa desperately wanted to hear an answer from Abay, is he married? But if he says he's not married, he lied a long time ago he was with a little boy, it must be his son.

"You know what?" Abay teases Melda.

"Yes, why? Can't you?"

"Not yet, so findin dong Mel.." said Abay smiling.

Abay jerks. Will Melda match him with Runa. And vice versa Runa thinks will what Melda means is herself.

"Just as I know... Why should I run - again. Aren't you?"

Abay chuckled and Runa smiled wryly and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully it wasn't him.

Then Melda boldly asked for Abay's phone, when asked why Melda just said she wanted to keep her own number on Abay's phone. Abay just shook his head smiling.

"Oh yeah, this Mba won't ask for my number? Loss loh Mba if you waste the opportunity to get acquainted more with handsome people." said Abay with a smile teasing Runa.

"No, thank you. I'm tired of being handsome.."

Melda and Abay laughed almost simultaneously hearing Runa's chirps.

Abay smiled. "I have to go back to the office again. Not what - what? I go first, right? Bye Mel's.. Bye Runa's.."

Runa and Melda nodded almost simultaneously. "Be careful on the road, don't think of me... Hahaha" Melda joked as Abay passed with her smile.

And when Runa and Melda want to return to the office, Runa receives an incoming message from.... Abay's?

From : Smell

See, is your face blushing?..Whys?😏

Whaan? When did my face become embarrassed because of meeting him anyway? Does that look like my embarrassed face? You Abay nyebelin! Runa continued to grumble inwardly as she typed her message for Abay.

Reply: Smell

Nothing!😒

"Na, who's the message from? How's that face?" ask Melda when they've walked out the resto.

"Nothing, just a prankster. Come back to the office again.."

After that there was no reply from Abay, he must be driving now. Runa watched Melda who was walking beside her with a smile that continued to expand.

"You're so happy Mel again? Why?"

Instead of directly answering Runa's question, Melda even widened her smile. "I don't know why, anyway I'm happyaaaaaaaa really.." then Melda hugged Runa for a moment. And they continued their steps to the office.
