Unknown Love's

Eric's Advice

The eyes of Ajeng and Farhan were still clashing. Erik was astonished to see it.

"Hey...hei...hei..the two of you, do you know each other?", asked Erik staring at Farhan and Ajeng alternately.

Farhan was aghast from his shock, as well as Ajeng.

"Eee..anu, that's.me.", The magician.

"Yes, we know each other. That was my friend in college" Farhan replied.

Erik shook his head, "It turns out the world is really narrow huh".

"Please sit down", Farhan invited Ajeng and Erik. They sat on the sofa at the same time.

"How are you, Jeng?", Farhan got up from his seat of greatness. He walked over, approaching Erik and Ajeng on the sofa.

"My news is good, how are you, Han? a long time ago, we did not meet", replied Ajeng.

Farhan sat down and smiled, "As you can see, my news is also good".

"In the meantime, I'm still confused by this situation" Erik interjected.

"Not to be confused, Rik. I said, Ajeng is my college friend first, even we are also an organization, right Jeng?", asked Farhan staring Ajeng carefully.

"Yes. I really still can't believe I'll see you again, Han and wow, you turned out to be the head of this company" Ajeng said.

Farhan smiled faintly, "I'm just continuing my late father's business".

"Hmm...if you guys already know each other, then you are ok Han, accept Ajeng into the IT team at this company?", asked Erik to confirm.

Farhan nodded, "Sure. I passed verification, didn't I?".

"Oh definitely. I personally verified it", replied Erik proudly. Ajeng.

"Eh, sorry Jeng. If it's out of business, I'm with Farhan yes like this. We are friends and cousins too", Erik explained, making Ajeng smile and nodding his head.

"You guys should look familiar. Oh yes Han, you know not yet if Kinara is married?", Ajeng asked something that Farhan did not really want to discuss.

Erik glanced at his cousin, he could see a tinge of reluctance on Farhan's face.

"Yes, I know", replied Farhan shortly.

"Then, why don't you come on her wedding day? I didn't see you at the party at the time" Ajeng asked again.

Farhan took a deep and heavy breath.

"Before Kinara got married, I had already left for Germany, continued my studies there" Farhan replied quickly.

"Wooww, you are really full of surprises" Ajeng said.

"Who used to dong ya, Farhan Ganindra", teased Erik while elbowing Farhan's arm.

"Ck, what the hell lo, Rik", Farhan looked up at Erik. Erik laughed at Farhan's expression.

"Your studies are done, Han?".

"Yet. I'm here to take a leave of absence, just a month for a company check".

"Oh. Kinara would have been happy to know you were here".

Farhan's face turned tense hearing Ajeng's words.

"Please, don't tell Kinara about my whereabouts and about anything you know about me, Jeng", Farhan said seriously.

"Why?", Ajeng scrunched his forehead, astonished. As he remembered, Farhan and Kinara were very close.

"It's okay. It's just, I don't want to see too many people. My purpose in coming back here is not for that" Farhan replied again. Ajeng nodded his head.

"Ck, I was just a wall. Udah, now lo back to work and Ajeng, I take it to the IT room, yes", Erik stopped the conversation.

Farhan smiled. Before long, Ajeng left Farhan's room, he went with Erik to the IT room.

'I hope to never see you again, Kinara Cyzarine', Inner Farhan.

"Huuffttt.capeknyaaa.", Ajeng threw his body on the sofa of the living room when he got home.

"Now, for you", Kinara suddenly came up with two glasses of mango juice.

"Wwaahh.thank you so many of my dear sisters-in-law. Just know that his beautiful sister is thirsty and tired" Ajeng said while drinking his juice.

"Where is your first day at work? what?", asked Kinara.

"Yes, brother. But it turns out the work is tired, brother", Ajeng stretch both hands.

Kinara smiled looking at Ajeng's expression.

"The name is also work, Jeng, yes definitely tired".

"Yes. Do'ain I feel at home there", Pinta Ajeng. Kinara nodded her head.

"Oh yeah, what do you work on? what is the name of the company?", asked Kinara curiously.

"I'm in IT, developing the company's web is my job"

Kinara nodded her head, "What company name, Jeng?".

"Ganindra Group", answered Ajeng Short.

Deg

Kinara's heart beat when he heard Ajeng mention the company's name.

"Whose name is the owner?", asked Kinara again.

"Erik Mahendra", Ajeng replied casually.

"Oh.", Kinara nodded her head. Apparently the assumption is wrong.

"I go to the room first, sister, want to clean up, sticky my body" said Ajeng after he finished his mango juice.

"OK"

"Oh yes brother, which mama?", asked Ajeng before passing.

"Mama hasn't come home yet, still in the boutique" Kinara replied.

Ajeng smiled and he left his sister-in-law who was still sitting down to enjoy his juice.

Dddrr.tc..drrrtt.

An incoming call made the focus of Kinara who was busy watching TV to be frothy.

"Yes hello.", he answered without seeing who called.

"Hey baby, why is it dark?", exclaimed the voice at the end of the phone.

Kinara flipped, apparently the incoming call was a video call.

"Oh, mas, sorry.", Kinara fixed her phone.

"What are you doing again, baby, until the wrong phone call?", asked Erlangga.

"Oh this mas, I was watching TV again", Kinara walked into her room.

"Oh. You alone? where's mommy Ajeng?".

"Ajeng, ada's. She just got home from work, if mom's still in the boutique".

"Hooo...that spoiled kid works? where is he?", Erlangga was curious.

"Yes, it's his first day of work. He works in a company. Mmm..what's the name, I forgot, mas", replied Kinara lying. He was reluctant to name the company because it made him remember someone.

"Hmm.good if he's working. How are you doing your own job, baby?".

"Everything is good. Have you eaten?".

"No, honey. I just got back to the apartment. Today my meeting schedule is a bit crowded".

"Mas must be tired. Don't forget to eat, let it not hurt. Then it's a break soon".

Erlangga smiled happily at his wife's attention.

"Yes dear. You too, take care of your food and rest, yes", Erlangga said.

Kinara nodded her head. Soon their video call was over.

Kinara put her body on the bed. His mind floated, recalling someone he had missed for so long.

"Ganindra Group, is that your company, Han?", muttered Kinara himself.

"But as far as I know, your family has no company other than Bu Asri's catering business" he murmured again.

'Aaaahhhhh.I this is why the hell, still thinking about him. She certainly doesn't remember me, ' Inner Kinara. He finally chose to sleep, not wanting to remember things that he felt were unnecessary.

Meanwhile, in his study room Farhan still looks busy, even though the clock has shown at 20:45 WIB.

Erik entered the room without knocking on the door.

"Geez bro, this hour you are still at home in the same office these files, ck. Come back", take Erik.

"In a moment, Rik" Farhan replied without turning his eyes away from the file he was reading.

"Han, remember, you came back here for relaxation, not to be this workaholic. Lo why the hell? since last afternoon chat with Ajeng, your face changed", look at Erik who has now laid himself on the sofa.

Farhan did not answer Erik's question. He prefers to keep busy himself.

"What about Kinara?", asked Erik again.

Erik's question this time made Farhan stop his work.

"It was my guess. Han, you said you've moved away from him. You are also in love with Elena. Then why did you become this just because you were reminded again about Kinara? oh come on bro, he already has someone else" Erik's words so pierced Farhan's feelings.

Farhan exhaled his breath rough.

"Gue has moved on from Kinara, and yes, everything you say is true. I love Elena too. But Elena's not there now, Rik. My heart is heavy to accept all of this. I painstakingly forgot Kinara and opened my heart to Elena, but..aaaarrggghhh.Destiny does not side with my life", Farhan held back the frustration that had not started to rule his heart since when.

Erik got off the couch, he walked up to his cousin.

"Gue doesn't know what it's like to be on the cake, Han. But I can see from the look in your eyes, deep down in your inner little heart, you still hold a love for Kinara right?. You love Elena, but I don't think love is as big as love for Kinara" Erik said as he sat himself down at the end of Farhan's desk.

Farhan was silent at Erik's words. His mind could not accept it, but his heart did not reject the truth he heard.

"Sorry, if my words add weight to your heart and mind. I'm just trying to understand your situation and awaken your true self. Remember Han, Kinara already belongs to people, Elena also does not exist, I understand this is hard for you, but I also do not want you to continue to fall and lie to yourself. After this, I hope you can really open your heart and mind well. Make peace with destiny and yourself, yes", Erik patted Farhan on the shoulder.

Farhan again took a deep breath. He didn't want to dispute Erik's words to him.

"Thank's ya Rik. I'm lucky to have a brother and a best friend like you. I'll try again. Come back", take Farhan with a smile.

Erik returned the smile, and the two of them left the office to go home.
