We, Without Me

Ex-Lover

Huff..

A short gust of air from Saka's mouth sounded desperate. Raising his head massaging the temple that was not throbbing at all, even the head that was also not painful, Saka just felt his head was too full to make him want to spill everything.

“Why? Nyesal?” Keven asked while sliding a cup of milk coffee for Saka. It has become a habit of both of them since college who want to enjoy a cup of milk coffee in free time.

“My turning, Kev. I wish Yuki's son was all right. All this time he never did anything. But not long after Alia came, she was a cause for trouble.” Saka complained while closing his pair of eyes with his left arm.

“Not until another month can we fire if it does not fit. I used to want to fire him you banned, now dizzy right elo?” Keven sneered at Saka, pulling the left corner of his lips smiling sideways.

Snorting at Keven's words, Saka glared back. “The reason lo is strange. Just because he likes to chase you, it cannot be a factor of dismissal. He never bothered me at work. Not very professional if we fire just because it.” Saka said as he straightened his back, his outstretched hand reaching for the small cup of still-hot steaming milk coffee.

“For me also good that son chasing elo. Count so you can move on from ex!” Imbuh Saka again with ketus.

“Town deh.” Keven replied lazily extending the discussion. I don't know what else to say about the ex that Saka often mentions. Keven never once thought of the former preferring the other man.

After all, Keven was aware that his ex's words used to be true that he was only used as an impingement by Keven who was lying to Alia's true feelings. Remembering that was enough to make Keven feel guilty. Not to mention looking at Saka who seems ordinary, do not know whether to believe or not in an information that he recently heard.

Is it true that Saka already knew that the break in the love that Keven experienced was not only because of infidelity, but also because the former who actually loved Saka? A flash of that question swirled in Keven's brain.

“Oh yes, I want to take care of our resto outside the City. I think I'm going to stay there. Tired if going back and forth, so my work is here partly let me take it there.” Saka suddenly who disperse the reverie of Keven.

“No problem. Email me later I need to continue.” Keven replied to Saka. He shifted the chair he had just sat back to the side of his oversized table.

“So I've contacted the first branch manager, tomorrow he or his envoy will replace me to help you elo.”

“Lo focus on the same journey tomorrow. Business here later let me handle. Make sure the new people in our branch there are not cheating.”

“Lo relax, Kev. One of the goals I want not to go back and forth also so that it can be easier to monitor them.” Saka said while tapping his fingers on his wooden table constantly. In his mind, Saka had arranged various plans while he was outside the city.

“Ayo, home. It's midnight too now.” Take Keven to Saka who is still at home in his seat.

Currently, both Keven and Saka choose overtime in their room, completing several files for cooperation between suppliers from several branch restaurants that recently opened in City B. There are already 10 branches on behalf of both of them and several restaurants on their behalf.

The work of Keven and Saka is quite busy, what else Keven is starting to spread its wings on a minimarket-scale retail business. Rotating the brain in a new world, utilizing knowledge while studying in college. Although new, but fairly successful and advanced. Obviously all of that can not be separated from precisely the strategic location selection and good service for every consumer.

Turning the steering wheel down the road to his house, Keven's car lights highlighted a familiar-looking figure standing on the side of the road. Slowly shaking the shadow in his mind, Keven felt Saka's speech managed to seep into the brain until Keven again imagined on the only ex-lover he had.

“Damn the Saka make a dream!” Bump Keven while lightly hitting the steering wheel of his car. But Keven's eyes can not be separated from the figure of a woman who looks frustrated, evidenced by his behavior that repeatedly attach the phone to the ear.

Turning off the car engine, moving down and taking a leisurely step, a second later Keven's body sculpted as his gaze rubbed with someone he really did not want to see anymore.

“Keven?”

“Nindy?”

Say them simultaneously. Both were shocked to meet in a very surprising situation. It never occurred to Keven or Nindy to look at each other like this, although their eyes will clearly not be the same as a few years ago or the last time they decided to separate from the status of lovers into strangers.

“Ka-.” Said Keven and Nindy again simultaneously, the atmosphere of awkwardness was truly felt. Of course, their respective positions are in the same condition, which is equally confused what to do.

“How are you?” Keven finally just mince words so that the awkwardness fades. Stepping back closer, Keven looked at Nindy's car that seemed to be unable to be turned on, but soon Keven began to understand if it was not Nindy's car engine that might have died, but a leaky tire that made Nindy stop the speed of his car on a deserted road.

“Bocor?” Keven asked briefly without looking at Nindy, the ex-lover Saka had recently mentioned.

“Oh, i-it's yes.” Answer Nindy a little stammering. In front of him was now someone he had hurt. Not only betrayed, but also used to be closer to the friend of the man who is none other than Saka.

If the word shame could be written real on Nindy's forehead, maybe it would fill her forehead. Nindy was really ashamed of Keven. It had betrayed cruelly, but the reply Nindy got was no less cruel.

Hopefully Keven does not know the fact that he was abandoned by his chosen affair, not just dumped for the reason of loving other women, but Nindy's chosen lover also leaves her to marry another woman who is called better everything than Nindy. Even with evil the man berated Nindy and her family's messy condition.
