Traces of the Past
Meet Edgar
At lunchtime I decided to eat out of my own office, in a corner of the cafe not far from the office.
I waited for my order while I lowered my head to play the phone in my hand.
"May sit here" asked someone to make me look up at my head.
"Edgar, oh yes please" I said gladly.
"Alone is joyce?"tanyakanya.
"Yeah, I want to eat myself" I said again.
Edgar called the cafe waiter and asked for a menu book and ordered food.
before long my order and edgar came.
"Hmm, is there time after work?"ask edgar.
My eyes looked at Edgar, trying to figure out what the question meant.
"Just want to invite you to watch after work later as an apology when it's not anter you work, I happen to be out of town in the morning" he continued.
"Oh that, it's okay I just forgot instead" I said casually because I really forgot his promise.
"Yes not good, how do you want afternoon tar??" ask again.
"okay, pick me up at 4:15" I agreed to edgar's exit.
"I go first, the lunch hour is 10 minutes away, I pay ya" I said while taking out a hundred thousand from my wallet.
"You go, let me pay" said Edgar, smiling kindly.
Deg Deg Deg
My heart suddenly saw her smile, I hurriedly lowered my head and walked out of the cafe until I forgot to thank her.
My face was hot, my hands were trembling considering the edgar smile earlier.
...
...
In the car I was sitting restless, Edgar was still focused on the steering wheel.
Edgar picked me up after work and asked me to watch an action movie, I asked him to drive me to the office again so I could get my car, but I felt strange that the road that passed was not towards my office but somewhere edgar was headed.
His car arrived at a parking lot under the apartment building.
"Who came here? where's this going?" many wonder.
"Let's go down and I'll tell you" he said, opening the car door for me. With his hand I entered the apartment building, pressing the number 11 elevator...
Edgar pressed his apartment password,
"Come in, this is my apartment"
"Ohh" I said short.
I went into his apartment, quite luxurious and spacious with a dominant dark blue and gray...
The sofa is dark blue in tune with the window curtains.
"Sit down first, I'll grab a drink" he said as he opened the refrigerator door.
Edgar offered a can of cold beer that he had opened. He sat on the sofa opposite me bounded by a long table.
"Who do you live with this spacious apartment?" my many.
"Self, but three times a week there are people who are specifically clean and wash clothes here" he said while looking at me.
"Oh, have a wife? where's wife?"my many.
"There, but stay diapartement itself"he said again.
Blusssshhhhh my heart slumped down somewhere in unexpected shock at his answer, my hands trembling.
"Look, she doesn't want to be my wife yet, she won't come here" she said.
"Oh" I said flatly trying to get rid of my unpleasant feelings.
Edgar looked at me sharply, I was uncomfortable to see the look in his eyes that seemed to be swallowing me alive.
Either the effect of the beer I was drinking or because the awkward atmosphere of my face felt hot made me uncomfortable with edgar's gaze.
"I'm taking you home, it's late" said Edgar.
"Ehhhh, do not let me use a taxi only at 10 am still many taxis kok." I refused smooth while standing and trying to step towards the door.
Edgar stood pulling my arm quickly made me startled and unsteady, caught his body into his arms.
Cup
I was surprised Edgar kissed my lips at a glance, my face hot. I lowered my head and pushed Edgar's body away from me.
"Vanila"
The words made me even more chaotic, I did not catch the intent of his words. My brain suddenly felt like there was nothing in it.
"Don't be rich, I don't feel good about your wife" I said angrily.
Guilt raged in my heart, making me.
Hahaaha...
Edgar's laughter made me look at him in wonder...
"I'm not married yet, but I'm going to marry you later to be my wife" she said, pulling me in her arms, her hands hugging my back waist, looking at me with eyes that made me bow my face in shame because of his words.
"Don't tease me, you can make my heart suddenly stop edgar" I said as I tried to escape his embrace.
"I'm not teasing you joyce, I mean it. I love you" continued edgar.
He put his face down, kissed my forehead, kissed me down on my lips without realizing that my hands were on his neck.
Her gentle kiss became hot making me return her kiss, somehow we returned each other kisses. My consciousness began to recover, I distanced my lips from her. Sakha's shadow suddenly appeared to make me aware.
I pushed him slowly, releasing his embrace.
"Take me home, tomorrow I have to go to the office" I asked him.
"Alright" he said while opening the apartment door. As long as our journey was silent, no one tried to melt this awkward atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, I got carried away" edgar said, bowing his face as soon as he reached my apartment building.
" Come in, it's late tomorrow morning let me pick you up. Your car was left in the office" he continued.
I nodded my head, as soon as I got out of the car. I waved my hand without making a sound, I could not say anything more nervousness just ambushed.
...
In bed I kept rolling around restlessly unable to close my eyes. What if Edgar finds out that I've been married,
What about Sakha, our meeting at that time still makes my heart pound to see her, I still have love for her...
I decided to tell her to keysia and ester.
I sent them a message to see me after work tomorrow.
I woke up in the morning because my phone was ringing the sign of an incoming call.
"Joyce can not if you go home from work, tar malem only in OSHC, I again have work hummed, the new day tar back" said keysia on the phone.
"Okay, tar malem met there directly. Don't pick me up" I said.
"OK, bye first" keysia said, hanging up her phone call.
I saw the clock on my phone, it was five in the morning. I pulled the blanket back to sleep again.
