Chapter 26 - The Curse of Adult Men



“Pak, forward yok. Palaman while taking photos,” Ibnu brought him with a gaze pointed forward, “Indeed both are suitable pairs, equally generous again .... “


Bisma felt arrogant to hear the words of Ibn who praised Hilman and Ajeng who were now side by side talking to officials in an atmosphere full of familiarity.


“We'd better go ahead,” Ajeng's friendly voice is heard again, “There is already a simple dish available for all of us, maybe the father, mother and brother who came to enjoy it .... “


Reluctantly, Bhishma followed in her footsteps from behind. His heart felt unacceptable to the circumstances that occurred. But how else is all his choice.


His choice?


For a moment there was doubt in the mind of Bisma considering the problems that occurred between her and Ajeng. He tried to forget something that had disturbed his mind.


His eyes are now fixed on the cafe restaurant which is now arranged differently to entertain guests of honor who come. Some Ajeng employees who are still average age students serve enthusiastically.


“Wah, all ready .... “ Wisnu directly comment on the neatly arranged dishes arouse the appetite.


His eyes looked one by one at the menu of the archipelago arranged in such a way. Chicken and cow satay are arranged in different places. The various types of soto nusantara are very tempting.


His steps towards a neat and neatly arranged snack. A big smile decorated his face.


“Bu Ajeng and the children who made all this?” Vishnu looked at Ajeng who was standing beside him.


“All the kids are making. I only help,” Ajeng replied down.


“Wah, very lucky mom husband-to-be.... “ Vishnu looked at Hilman who did not move from beside Ajeng.


The wide smile on Hilman's lips heard Vishnu's speech which was heard almost to everything including Bhishma. His fingers returned to clenching.


“When is the inauguration?” Vishnu asked casually.


It is not a secret of closeness that occurs between Ajeng and Hilman. Officials and businessmen already know a lot, although as Ibn Ajeng said so far to be passive.


“No serious talks there yet sir,” Hilman replied in lethargy, “Still grey .... “


Hearing Hilman's answer made Bhishma feel relieved. He looked at Ajeng who was stepping away. Leisurely, Bisma finally approached the two who were engaged in a light conversation.


“Eh, Mr Bhishma not visible from earlier?” Vishnu immediately charged him with questions.


“Circling area,” Reply Bisma relax.


“Eat yuk, already hungry too... “ take Wisnu while reaching for the prepared plate next to the table.


“Bby,” Reply Bhishma briefly.


Both of them immediately walked to the seats that had been arranged for guests and service staff who came. While enjoying the dish they engage in light conversation.


“Originally Mr Bisma from Jakarta right?” vishnu's question again broke the silence created between the two.


“True. Mr Vishnu himself?” Bisma asked the same thing to Vishnu.


“I am original Jakarta. Three years old also mutation here.”


“Family?” Bisma was curious about Vishnu who always appeared alone in every formal and non-formal activity.


“The wife is still in service in Jakarta. Still take care of the mutation also ... “ said Vishnu slowly.


Now his gaze was fixed on Ajeng who was walking with Andrean towards the snack storefront. He sighed with an unmoved look.


“Look at bu Ajeng ... “ Vishnu's voice is heard again.


“Ya ...?” Bhishma was curious about what was in the heart of the man she thought was his age above her.


“Gosh .... “ Bhishma growled in heart at Vishnu's words.


He himself could not believe hearing Vishnu who seemed to confide in him. They are married and still tied to marriage status.


“What do you think of a female Bhishma like bu Ajeng?” Vishnu asked him again.


“I dare not comment ..” Bisma answered flatly.


He doesn't know what to say. Moreover, he and Vishnu had just this time engaged in a conversation about a woman, and he thought this was not worth talking about.


Vishnu's smile was reflected on his lips when Ajeng and Hilman with Andrean walked up to those who had finished enjoying their lunch.


“Wah, sorry for my delay ... “ a gallant man arrived in front of those who were still chatting casually.


“Pak Sigit?” Ajeng scrunched his eel to see the man who was now upright in front of him.


“Yes me,” wide smile on the man's face makes the atmosphere warm.


“Bu Ajeng knows him?” Riyanti Ajeng's friend who also accompanied him was astonished with enthusiasm Ajeng welcomed the presence of the man.


“This is my boss when I was a bank employee ... “ Ajeng explained clearly.


“Congratulations Jeng for your achievements. We are proud of all that you have achieved,”, Sigit said as he reached out to give a bouquet of flowers.


He shook the hands of women who had been his subordinates while working in the government bank even though it was only a few months, because Ajeng finally chose to resign.


“Thank you for your guidance so far. I will not forget all the kindness of the father to me,” Ajeng said sincerely and sincerely, “Actually the father does not need to be like this.”


From the corner of his eyes, Bisma could see how Ajeng's behavior treated the man who had just come. He brought drinks and even food with him.


“Cih .... “ Bhishma condemns in heart the actions of Ajeng who so glorified Sigit in front of everyone.


“Definitely happy man who treated like that,” whispered Vishnu to him, “Women and would-be wives ideal.”


Bisma was forced to nod at Vishnu's words, because he had felt all Ajeng's treatment was flawless when they were together. Only he is a man who is less grateful with everything that has ever been established between them.


“How about Mr Bisma?” now Vishnu's gaze was directed at him.


Bisma smiled wryly, “I am the type of person who does not like to indulge in household life. That is privacy for me.”


“I'm sorry,” Vishnu smiled thinly, “Sometimes there is a desire to form a new family, because our partner is not an ideal person .... “


Bisma was silent, but in her heart she was attracted by Vishnu's words. All this time he had never had a friend to confide in household problems, because he felt unnecessary, and already convinced that he is able to take the right and best decision for himself and his future.


“Sir Bhishma must have experienced, how our work and daily lives always intersect with the things that make our loyalty tested.... “


Again Bisma nodded in agreement to Vishnu's words. He was increasingly interested in the topic of discussion that Vishnu talked about, the man he valued calm in terms of his external appearance.


“Moreover we who have a well-established job ... “ said Vishnu with a slow sigh, “If faith is not strong, work is chaotic, family is in disarray.”


“Wah, it seems that the weight of life load sir Vishnu .... “ Bhishma said softly with a dismissive smile on the corner of her lips.


Vishnu knew that Bisma insinuated. He was not offended, because of the many men who happened to both serve as himself he saw the figure of Bhishma more straight than his other colleagues.


“It is precisely with Mr. Bisma that I am more comfortable talking,” Vishnu said frankly, “If we are wrong place to confide, even more chaotic.”


Bisma mangosteen hearing Vishnu's words. The two engaged in a casual but quite serious conversation. Bhishma's mind was increasingly open to hearing every word of Vishnu that made sense in his brain.
