When Talak Has Spoken

Chapter 28 Wants to Get Closer

The new clock shows at 6:30 Wib. There is still a lot of time left to go to the office because the office hours are still long.

Driving a car dressed in full service Bisma turned the direction and took his car to enter the cafe restaurant owned by Ajeng which has been open since morning.

The bright smile that adorned his face immediately vanished seeing two figures sitting opposite while talking and joking. Without further ado, Bhishma sat down directly in front of the two.

Ajeng was surprised to see the now relaxed presence of Bisma between himself and Sigit who also stopped by for breakfast.

“What do you want to drink?” with his trademark smile Ajeng offered Bisma.

“Yang during this time you provide,” Bhishma answered casually to make Ajeng's eyes immediately rounded.

A smile rises on Bisma's face looking at Ajeng's look. He really misses coffee and all the menus that Ajeng had prepared for him during their time together, so early this morning he forced to stop by the cafe restaurant Ajeng which he knew also prepared breakfast menu.

Sigit looked at Bhishma with a frown. He did not know the man who was sitting quietly in front of him.

“What we have met before?” after Ajeng left to prepare an order for Bhishma made Sigit immediately ask.

Bisma shook her head quickly. He never knew Sigit. During the marriage bond with Ajeng, both of them never attended invitations related to the office or co-workers Ajeng, except for the closest family, it can be counted with fingers because of their respective busyness.

“From no friends to chat,” replied Bisma casually.

Frankly, he did not like to see Ajeng sitting together with other men, let alone sharing his smile and laughter casually. Either start when the feeling comes bothering him, because all this time he is fine.

“See you know Ajeng very well?” Sigit asked to the point.

He saw Bhishma casually saying what he ordered without mentioning the details he wanted. He became curious about the familiar attitude that Bisma showed, while Ajeng looked stiff.

“Ask Ajeng?” Bhishma said casually as she reached for the still intact mineral water on the table.

Soon Ajeng came with an employee carrying an order for Bhishma. He casually placed a plate containing seafood fried rice and black coffee with a little sugar.

“Good to enjoy ... “ said Ajeng trying to relax by reviewing a fleeting smile.

His gaze instantly shifted as Bhishma looked at him fixedly.

“The taste remains the same, always delicious,” Bhishma said honestly after drinking her coffee a few sips.

“Please continue the conversation mas Sigit, Pak Bisma .... “ Ajeng do not want to linger with both.

Since it was 7 o'clock, it was time to bathe Lala who was now drinking milk with Isma's mother. He was about to flip his body after inviting his two new customers to enjoy the breakfast that was available.

“Do you not want to accompany us breakfast here?” Bisma tried to hold Ajeng's departure.

Somehow it felt like he wanted to talk longer, and hear his soft voice that spoiled his sense of hearing. He did not want to enjoy breakfast with foreign auctioneers who in his eyes seemed to be trying to attract the attention of Ajeng.

Sigit's gaze did not change from Bhishma who asked Ajeng to accompany the two of them to breakfast on that sunny morning.

“Sorry, I still have other activities. Excuse me... “ without waiting for Bhishma's answer, Ajeng walked quickly.

Finally, Bisma and Sigit enjoy breakfast without much talking, only their respective hearts are busy questioning the relationship that occurs between them and Ajeng so that they have a different closeness.

The next morning Bisma came back to the cafe Ajeng restaurant to enjoy breakfast. He also shamelessly asked Ajeng to cook himself without telling other employees to do it.

This morning Bisma was a bit bad luck, because of the many projects on the field that he had to work on last night. Towards the beginning of the year, many reports that he had to prepare and he corrected as accountability for the end of the year work. He is a perfectionist, and does not easily trust others.

Although Deby and some other staff forced overtime to help him complete all the reports, Bisma refused. He asked the staff to work the hours. He and Ibnu examined all the reports that had been completed at exactly 4 p.m.

When he arrived at the cafe restaurant for breakfast his face turned sour to see Hilman, Sigit and Ajeng sat together to enjoy a warm coffee. The third conversation seemed relaxed with occasional laughter Sigit accompanied by Hilman.

Ajeng just smiled at the conversation of the two around the world of work each. Actually he already knew about the coming of Bhishma, but this time he let alone what he wanted a man who now had no relationship with him anymore. He was sure that other officers would serve Bhishma.

This morning he and Hilman made a pact to see the land that will be used as a pond for catfish. The increasing demand for catfish supply makes Ajeng want to produce their own and harvest catfish directly in his pond without having to go to other suppliers.

Luckily Hilman's friends who want to return the village will release some catfish pond land that is ready for harvest. Feeling that the money is there, there is no harm for Ajeng to add to his own breeding and breeding efforts.

“So it's official..?” Sigit looked at Ajeng and Hilman alternately.

He could see the movements of Hilman who was so attentive to Ajeng. He only offers friendship. He knows himself, he's just a bank clerk. Even though his class as a branch head, but will not be able to match the figure of businessman Hilman tajir, who predicted the prospective husband Ajeng.

When his move in the government bank Surabaya, he already knew Ajeng who became his subordinate. She is still single. Until three months later Ajeng resigned, he had not had time to get to know more closely the figure of Ajeng who was the talk of other colleagues, because his resignation was sudden. There are also rumors about problems in the home.

Sigit never knew the husband figure Ajeng who according to his colleague was a government employee who had a position and came from a family of tajir.  Out of curiosity about the figure of Ajeng made him decide the mutation to Malang in order to get to know Ajeng more closely.

But the truth is different. A man who is more than him is always on the side of Ajeng, making him discouraged because he is no one than the businessman.

“Not ...” Hilman said slowly while smoking his cigarette and slowly threw the smoke out of his nose.

“Talking to there?” Sigit was curious about the closeness of the two.

Indeed, this week every breakfast he always met with Hilman who had just returned from Jakarta because there was business that he could not leave. The two were like old friends, and engaged in quite a pleasant conversation.

Sigit also felt helped by the friendship he had with Hilman. From the talks that were created, Hilman who was trying the property business asked his advice to deal with financing issues. Sigit was very enthusiastic about their conversation this time.

“Still gray,” Hilman said slice, “While I seriously want to end my single year.”

The bisma he was sitting was two meters behind Sigit, immediately standing his ears hearing the conversation of the two.

“How long has it been close to Ajeng?” curiosity makes Sigit can not hide his curiosity.

“Almost two years instead .... “

Gluey!

Suddenly Hilman's answer made Bisma choke on the warm coffee that he just sipped. He quickly grabbed a tissue to clean the splashes of coffee spilled on his black pants.

The mind of bisma works fast. His suspicion makes sense that there is already a relationship that occurred between Hilman and Ajeng when he was still tied to marriage.

“So you're the third person in Ajeng's farewell and her husband?” chase Sigit.

Bhishma again sharpened her hearing. He wants certainty so that the divorce process can be handled immediately. He does not want to mediate, with the recognition of Hilman, he will get evidence that there has been an affair that caused him to sue Ajeng divorce.

It is better that he restart to find a companion that fits the criteria and that he considers appropriate. There is no way that he returned to Ajeng who had actually been duplicitous when bound by marriage with him.

Even though the marriage happened without love, and has been awarded a beautiful little elf still his ego does not accept because Ajeng has dared to present other men in their household.
