We, Without Me

The Mask that Faded

Brucks.

Byurs..

“Ouch!! Well wet again the floor.” Yuki's complaining panicked at the mop water that had spilled on the floor he had just finished mop.

“Sorry Ma'am if his feet get wet.” Imbuh Yuki while packing an empty bucket and a mop stick lying on the floor. Looking up at the figure who accidentally collided with him, Yuki found the woman who was both a senior as well as someone who had a position higher than him.

“Nothing. You better quickly clean the floor again before anyone falls terpleset here.” Alia said casually while reminding Yuki to immediately handle the small chaos of the mop water spill.

“Iya, Ma'am. Again sorry.” Yuki's cursory bow apologizes to Alia again. It is undeniable because his carelessness that had shifted his eyes actually hit Alia who might also not realize Yuki's presence.

“Call Brother, don't Mbak. I'm not used to.” Said Alia who then resumed her steps leaving Yuki who was struggling again mopping the floor once again.

“Night-night mopping mulu.” Grutu Yuki while moving the mop stick violently. His energy's drained extra tonight.

Resolving a bit of chaos that the lucky few were unaware of by others, Yuki stepped into the cubicle where the usual cleaning equipment was placed. But his steps suddenly froze.

From the corner of her eye tail, it appeared that Alia was hugging a man that Yuki knew very well. Both seem to drift in an intimate atmosphere to the point of being insensitive to the surroundings.

Tipting slowly treading carefully, Yuki laid down the mop equipment with her already branched mind. His brain had already arranged all sorts of guesses.

Crutches.. Kruccuk..

The powerful voice from the center of his stomach shocked Yuki, disperse the long daydream that was almost finished arranged as a story script. He lowered his gaze toward the stomach, rubbing slowly while swallowing the saliva.

“Lapar.” Yuki muttered softly, walking around forgetting about a pair of humans who might still be making out in the same place.

Dukes.

“Aw!”

Complaints of the two voices of women of different ages simultaneously. Each of them held each other's shoulders and gently rubbed his arms.

“You again. I like it so much. Next time don't daydream and watch the road!” Alia said with a raised voice, ketus and sewot.

“Sorry Brother.” Yuki apologized again.

‘Smooth train, apparently kayak goose kebelet mating.' Satisfying Yuki at Alia's attitude which suddenly looks very upsetting. Though if they bump into each other again is not entirely Yuki's fault. If only Alia realized, she should be able to avoid Yuki who is not focused, not even resigned and ready to hit Yuki.

“Soaring!” Alia said, her eyes glaring annoyed at Yuki. I don't know what happened so Alia was being rude to Yuki.

Huff..

‘Propay Yuki!!’ Yuki's screams in his heart, wanting to feel like he grabbed Alia's hair and rubbed the woman's pretty face against the wall.

Leaving the restaurant when her work time was over, Yuki drove her motorcycle in a state of chaotic heart and stomach that continued to rebel.

“Great order tonight..!! Why must there also be an apprentice demon who constantly insinuates him!!” Yuki's shout was strong, as strong as the motor he was on was getting faster.

“Why should I talk about demons anyway??!! Sepai again his streets.” Yuki's his fret is getting upset, his body immediately goosebumps not because of the cold, but the word ‘setan’ that he had said himself.

...----------------...

“Again I have to see this sight.” Yuki said with a sad look in her eyes. Where can as a normal woman who loves the opposite sex will be strong if staring at a loved figure cool with other women.

Tak.

“Sore Mas Saka's. Mas Keven afternoon. Afternoon Brother.” Sapa Yuki was friendly to the three, smiling merrily after having time to put her luggage hit firmly on the table.

“Hi, Ki. Have you come? Tumben today faster few minutes.” Saka replied to Yuki's greeting kindly. Both are pretty familiar.

“Wah, it is Mas Saka who is the most considerate. Today I came faster.” Yuki said as she brandished her two thumbs.

“Dong sure.. Yuki the beautiful brat likes to come on time. Really on time that should have started work.” Said Saka which made Yuki instantly pursed her lips. Yuki knew that at this moment Saka was indirectly also insinuating her.

“You like her?” Alia asked without further ado. He dislikes the intimate interaction between Yuki and Saka. What more blatant praise did Saka say to Yuki.

“If so why, if not why?” Say Saka while playing both eyebrows up and down simultaneously. Clearly Saka was teasing Alia with a trap question.

“Awas you assortment!” Threaten Alia without answering Saka's question.

Mengulum smile held back a laugh, Saka poked Alia's cheeks furiously. “Jealous yes?”

“Saka!” Said Alia rising while glaring sharply at Saka.

“Don't sulk that dong my girlfriend.”

The deg!

There is a heart that suddenly jerks until it hurts piercing. It was as if there was an invisible hand squeezing directly into his plain heart. He should be aware that events like this can be predicted to happen.

“Pacar?” Tilting his head, Keven's words almost spoke at the same time as Yuki's murmur.

“We forgot to tell you Kev. I'm with Alia just soan.” Saka said proudly, pulling the soft fingers of Alia and showing off the ring that was coiled on Alia's finger.

For a moment Yuki frowned at Keven's fist under the table which was not in line with the sweet smile he gave Saka and Alia. Looking fixedly at Keven who was trying to regulate his regular breathing and act as calm as possible, Keven could not lie to Yuki about his true feelings.

‘What is this love?’ Yuki miris said, looking at the three people who also broke her heart. The sky brightened with the scorching sun as if burning Yuki's feelings to shatter and melt unceremoniously.

His intention of wanting to give the candles a therapeutic aroma failed. His mind and heart were too furious at the moment to digest all the events he had just experienced.

Should Yuki give up or keep fighting for the heart of someone who actually belongs to another woman named Alia?

Sighing with a heavy sigh, Yuki looked up at the slowly moving clouds. I feel like crying. One was heartbroken when he was struggling. It all seemed real where the heart of the man she loved was anchored.

His smile was fake for the happiness of his two friends who were in love. Yes, Keven is deceiving himself and others. But unfortunately without Keven realizing the mask faded in the eyes of Yuki who had put their hearts on their second meeting in the rain.

A bottle of warm lemon tea that Keven gave to Yuki and Dimas while sheltering from the rain in front of the restaurant brings sweet memories of their early encounter.
