The Temptation of the Former

Decisions

Johan could not sleep well. Not because he thought about the spell, but he thought about Jihan, thinking about why she kept holding a grudge against Jihan.

For seven years, their story has long since passed, the betrayal of Jihan seven years ago completely blinded her mind, she hated Jihan to the disgust of all women.

But today Johan realized if he was wrong, wrong because it was dissolved in a prolonged vendetta, Jihan also has the right to continue his life.

If they are destined to meet again, maybe it is a way for them to cross paths with each other, and forget about the dark mass.

This morning Johan and Jihan sat facing each other. Johan stared fixedly at Jihan, as if looking for answers, at unanswered questions, at a memory of the past he accidentally found at Jihan's dresser last night. It looks gray, not clear. Johan found no answer.

"Sir .. Can I help you?" jihan asked, breaking the silence between them.

Johan was now aware of his daydream, he again leaned back in his chair while holding hands.

"Ehm .. There is a meeting in the planning team room go there, note the core of the meeting in the form of Notula" said Johan.

It turned out that it was just that, my heart was almost dislodged and he was just talking about it, Jihan's inner self.

"Okay sir, excuse me."

Jihan stood up from her sitting position earlier, then continued to step out of Johan's study.

Johan stared at Jihan's departure, disappearing from behind the door. His feelings became chaotic themselves. Just because of the necklace, he was now confused by his own feelings.

He had even forgotten his plan to get rid of Jihan from the company, forgetting that if he hated Jihan who he thought had betrayed him seven years ago, let it all flow, let fate do its job.

The clock showed ten o'clock in the morning, the planning team meeting had just finished, Jihan walked out of the room. While walking, he accidentally met with Jenny, Cika and Malik who just happened to finish doing fieldwork.

"Damn!" exclaim Jenny.

Cika and Jenny, hugging Jihan, have not met for several days, they let go of each other's longing. Of course Malik can only see without being able to embrace with his coworkers.

"Where are you from?" ask Jihan.

"We've just come from running errands outside, you're from nowhere" Malik said.

"I just attended a meeting in the planning team room" Jihan said.

"Ah you must be very busy right now, Jihan, I'm so envious because you can meet with our handsome CEO every day" said Cika.

"If we could change positions, I would gladly give this task to you" Jihan said.

"Hehe if only it could be yes," said Cika.

"What if we had lunch outside together, how about?" take jenny.

Cika, Jihan, and Malik looked at each other for a moment, "Again!" say them simultaneously.

Lunch time has arrived, Jihan entered Johan's room to ask for permission, lunch outside, unexpectedly Johan only answered briefly, Johan allowed Jihan to have lunch outside, and the,making Jihan frown, did Johan eat wrong this morning, he thought.

Unwilling to take a headache, Jihan walks out, picks up her bag and cell phone from her desk. Lunch with his ex-team who I thought would be a lot of fun.

Upon arrival at the lobby, Jenny, Cika, Malik, and Rendy were waiting for him there. Jihan walked quickly, approaching her friends.

"Let's go" said Jihan.

Finally they arrived at a cafe located close to the office, after getting a place, they immediately ordered their favorite menu each.

Like friends who rarely meet, Jihan and her friends take the time to take selfies together, to post on their social media.

"Eh you guys take a photo together, yeah," Jenny told Jihan and Malik.

"By ... Malik here," call Jihan.

Malik Approaching Jihan, somehow his body feels stiff, when it is close to Jihan. He glanced at the smiling Jihan towards the camera, a strange feeling began to appear, an irregular heartbeat, and a smile that expanded by itself.

"Good meal" they said at the same time, then began to eat their own food.

The atmosphere became increasingly warm as Rendy continued to tell jokes that made Jihan and the others have stomach pains from laughing too much.

"Eh here there is live music," said Cika when his view is fixed on the live music that will take place soon.

Live music at the cafe, it really makes the atmosphere more lively, many visitors who come forward to donate their voices.

"Who would want to come forward to sing?" ask Jenny.

"Just make it" pointed at Jihan.

"I can sing. Want earache, here, let me go forward," said Cika.

"Just turn it around" said Rendy.

"Why me?" asked Malik who looked panicked.

"When I saw the video on his phone he was singing again, his voice .. good," Rendy said as she held her thumbs up.

"I'm not interested, you guys," Malik refused.

"Malik .. let's go forward" Jihan told Malik.

But it seems he can't dodge it anymore, if Jihan asks for it. Malik stood up from his seat, walking towards the simple stage provided.

Jenny, Cika, and Rendy screamed for encouragement, but Malik focused only on Jihan, who was smiling at him.

Malik is discussing with the music player for the song he will sing. after finishing Malik grabbed the mic that has been provided, and immediately went forward.

Music started to sound, Malik just kept looking at Jihan,

Malik started singing.

The first time I saw you present.

This feeling of heart wants you.

Calm heart heard the beautiful voice greeting,

the beauty of this heart I did not expect.

This feeling is unbearable, this heart is always for you.

Accept this song from ordinary people but my love for you is amazing.

I don't have flowers, I don't have any possessions

all I have is a sincerely loyal heart to you. The days change and now love is present

seeing you, looking at you like an angel.

Flick your beautiful eyes, sweet smile your lips,

black long your hair is gracefully tied. This feeling is unbearable, this heart is always for you accept this song from ordinary people but my love for you is amazing.

I don't have flowers, I don't have any possessions

all I have is a sincerely loyal heart to you.

The song that Malik sang made all the visitors in the cafe stunned. Not only was his voice good, but his appreciation was also incredible.

Before long, a boisterous sound of applause sounded. Jihan, Cika, Jenny and Rendy, cheer up.

"You are amazing!" yell Jihan at Malik.

Seeing Jihan smile at him, Malik's heart rippled violently, as if finding the lead of the song he had just sung.
