No way! Hendra likes me too? I thought, Hendra just thinks of me as a casual friend. Is it just because of me, so their relationship is tenuous until this moment? I really can't believe what I'm hearing.
"So.... The girl you mean it's me?"
"Yes!"
"So... All this time you've been feeling like you're the same as me?"
"Yes!"
I looked into both of his eyes. I felt sorry for accidentally hurting her heart. Maybe without realizing it, I once gave him false hope. It was only fitting that he had ever been upset with me and left without news.
"Why, Vi? Don't blame yourself! It's not your fault" he said, now trying to calm me down.
"You shouldn't be like that. You deserve a better girl than me. I'm really sorry if I accidentally hurt your feelings."
"Hey... What the hell are you talking about? Huh already. Don't talk about it" he said, holding hands.
"Aren't you upset with me? Suddenly gone and as if lost to the earth."
"Sorry! I just follow my ego. Forget that! It's part of the past. Right now, I want a meaningful change," she wished with a sweet smile on me.
That smile reminded me of a time when he used to be with me when I was alone without friends at school, because I was a quiet child and not easy to get along with.
๐ถ๐ฒ My phone ringtone rang in the middle of our conversation.
Darren wants a video call with me. I immediately picked it up. And her sweet face greeted me.
"Hi, Vi!" the answer.
"Hi, Der! Another break?" guess when I saw him sitting back.
"Yes, I'm going to have lunch. Wanna eat?" bargain while showing the direction of his phone to a plate of rice with a bowl of rib soup.
"Son, thank you."
"Where are you? The place is cool" he said as he looked around my back.
"I'm the same mother again in Milan to see the place," I said as I showed her around the place.
"Eits.. There is one cake I know. Try to direct you to a guy who is not that far from you!"
"Who?" ask me while directing to some people who are around me. But Hendra was also in the shoot by me.
"Stop!" tell Darren to stop right in front of Hendra.
"Here's stop?" my question is who has directed the camera phone video right in front of Hendra now.
"Yes! Just back off, Vi!" tell it. "Hey, Mas Hendra! It's me Darren, Temen Yuda!" he said to Hendra who looked familiar.
Hendra squinted his eyes looking at my phone screen for more clarity. "Hey, Darren! The better you are!" answer Hendra back.
"It's normal, mas. How's it going?"
"Good news. Are you healthy too?"
"Healthy dong. Still in Italy?"
"still. It's a coincidence again work and meet Via. Eit... Do you know each other?" ask her about our relationship with Darren.
Darren who looked a timid smile nodded his head slowly. "She's my girlfriend, mas," he admitted without further ado.
Hendra looked at me in shock, but he tried to smile in front of us. "Oos... You guys dating? Congratulations to you!"
"Yes, mas. Thank ye. Meet yuk sometime!" bring him.
"Yes, ready!" answer Hendra. "You guys talk first! I have a short business with the client" he said, saying goodbye to us.
"You just know each other?" ask Darren.
"So Hendra is your friend? Trus, you guys reunian dong?"
"Yes, not really. I just happened to meet, I don't know if he's here either."
I saw him eating voraciously and a plate of rice was almost gone with a flash.
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet."
"Don't forget breakfast! Oh yeah, what were you guys talking about?"
I immediately smiled at him, because I could already guess that he would definitely be curious about what I had just talked to Hendra.
"It doesn't matter. Just saying normal greetings as friends" I said who had to lie. If I'm being honest, I'm afraid he'll discuss it at length.
"What time?" tanyanya could not believe it.
"Yes! Just a regular chat around the cooperation of the management news in Jakarta."
"Oooo... sjdjddhbdksk (language is not clear because the signal is bad)."
"Der, signal is not good anymore. Tar just hooked up again!"
Since the signal is bad, I just turn off the video call from him. Then I tell Darren via chat if you temporarily do not need a video call first because the signal is no longer smooth. When I put my phone back in my bag, my mom came with Hendra to come up to me.
"Vi, this is the owner of this place!" mami said while introducing Hendra.
Contact me and Hendra just smile and mami confused. "I know you, mi."
"Oh yeah? You guys know each other?" he asked with his shocked expression.
"He was my old high school friend, mi. I also just found out he's the CEO here."
"Yes, my dear Hendra. Try to be a match, even better," please mami with her own smile.
"Mommy!!!" my call does not accept.
"Hahaha.. auntie is just kidding, don't put it to heart!" the door with Hendra.
"I've loved this aunt for a long time. But that time was the same with me, Victor. Until now I still hope Via can be my life companion," I Hendra who makes me and my mother shocked to hear it.
"Really, Hendra boy?" tanya mami made sure Hendra's talk.
"Yes, tan!" answer Hendra sure.
I just scratched my head which was not really itchy at all.
"Via, I think you should consider this Hendra boy!" mami whispered in my ears without any violence by Hendra. "Instead of dating ama berlondong it, not just procrastinate your time. The same mending is for sure. You are in the field of work that is not much different," continued mami.
"Mommy, please!" please let him stop slacking.
"Tan, there's something I want to talk to Via about" Hendra said.
"Ooo.. Please talk alone! Aunty will leave you two first," said the mother who was about to leave.
"No, tan! I'll just talk in front of my aunt" Hendra said, taking her current attitude seriously.
"Is this auntie comfortable for you?" ask the mother who feels bad.
"Oh. gakpapa, tan. Just for a moment" replied Hendra.
"That's it, please!"
"Via, in front of your mom, I have something to say. I hope, you hear me out. I really had a crush on you before. It's just that at that time how b*dohnya I chose to give up. Whereas at that time, I sacrificed a lot for you, but you chose Victor instead. I will fight to get your heart back. I won't give up, even if I know you're dating Darren. But for me, it's better to try than to give up again" he said at length that touched my heart.
