Wrong Room

Fear of Falling in Love

Vallen then opened his eyes again and looked at his phone.

"Foreign number? Is this the Word's cell phone number?" vallen said with a smile.

He then raised the call.

[Hello.]

[Hello, is it true that you are named Vellen?] ask for a voice on the other end of the phone.

Vallen was shocked to hear a woman's voice on the other end of the phone.

'I think Firman, it is not.' muttered Vallen while gulping his saliva violently.

[Yes, I'm Vallen. Can I help you?]

[Include me, I'm Inara. Wife of Mas Rayhan.]

'Oh my God, what's this woman calling me?' vallen murmured in the heart.

[Oh yeah, what's up Inara?]

[Can we meet tomorrow?]

[Oh sorry, can't. I'm attending my relatives' wedding outside the city, and it's likely that I'll spend a few days here.]

[Alright, I will wait until you return to Jakarta.]

[What's really going on? It seems we have no important business?]

[It's about Mas Rayhan.]

[I apologized to Inara before, ever since she said she was going to marry you I've not communicated with Rayhan anymore. I also don't want to talk about him back because for me, he's part of the past that I've been in for a long time.]

[But Vallen, this is really important and I really want to meet you.]

[I'm sorry, I have a new life and a new chapter in my life, and I don't want to bring up anything related to my past.]

[Vallen, just for a second.]

[My decision remains the same, I don't want to talk about anything related to Rayhan. If there is nothing to talk about anymore I will hang up because I want to rest.]

[Well Vallen, I appreciate your decision and your efforts because you've been trying to forget my husband, sorry to bother you. Thanks very much.]

[Sama-sama.] Vallen replied then hung up on that phone call.

Tears flowed back down his face.

'Oh my God, what else is this?' muttered Vallen while staring at the darkness of the night.

Zidan threw a pillow at the Word.

"What the fuck are you saying, you're throwing away an opportunity. The girl already wanted to give you her phone number but you're acting like this." Zidan grumbled as he frowned.

"I'm afraid of Zidan."

"Fear what?"

"Fear that someday I will fall in love with her but our love is hindered by such a real difference."

"differences? What difference do you mean?"

"Didn't you see? He was at the party, you know, the people at the party weren't just anyone, Zidan. They are rich people who have abundant wealth, while I? Can't you see how I am?"

"Why indeed? It seemed that they were not arrogant rich people either, the proof was that they were willing to accept Aini with open arms. Then I also heard that the bride is also not from among the people but just a poor little girl who was raised by a businessman named Leo. Oh yes I just remembered that the real father of the bride is also from the same city as us."

"really?"

"Yes, that's what I heard."

"But the position is different Zidan, they're women while I'm men. I have to support my wife, what if it turns out that Vallen is not an indiscriminate woman who has income far above me?"

"You're right, but you're also thinking too far. Think of it as a form of friendship, nothing more. Don't play with her if you don't want to fall in love with her."

The word is silent too.

'You're right, I can probably think of him as a friend. No more, don't we have something in common because we are both heartbroken?' muttered Firman while looking at the ceiling of the room.

"Don't think much Word, call the girl. He must have been waiting for you."

The Word looked at his cell phone. He then took the paper that was on the nightstand then typed the number on his phone.

'Maybe he's taking a call, I'd better call in a while.' murmured the Word

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Vallen then closed his eyes, moments later his phone rang again. Lazily, Vallen raised the call.

[Don't I tell you if I don't want to talk about it with you again?]

[What do you mean? Have I disturbed you?] replied a man on the other end of the line who made Vallen so surprised.

'Oh, my God, I was wrong. I thought she was Rayhan's wife.' Vallen murmured inwardly.

[Okay, maybe I've been bothering you, I'd better just hang up.]

[OHHHH NOOO!!] yelled Vallen who made Firman keep his phone away from his ear.

'Truly a strange girl.' murmured the Word.

[Sorry, I think you're my friend who has been bothering me since, I picked up the call on this phone without seeing first who called me.] Vallen replied nervously.

[Oh, I think I'm bothering you.]

[No, not at all.]

[Are you not asleep?]

[I'm not sleepy yet.]

[It's better to go to sleep now, it's night.]

[You're so weird Word, you just called me but you told me to go to sleep.]

[Yes, I called you just to say good night to you.]

[Then that's all?]

[No I want you to sleep so that tomorrow you don't wake up, because I want to take you somewhere.]

Vallen smiled at the Word.

[Hi, we just got acquainted but you've dared to ask me out.]

[Who asked you out? I don't want to date a weird girl like you.]

'Geez, this arrogant guy really pisses me off.'

[Then what's the name if you take me away but you don't want to call this a date?]

The word is smiling too.

[Aren't you and I both heartbroken?]

[Yes, you could say that.]

[Indeed the reality is like that.] Word grumbled.

[Hahahaha take it that way.] Vallen replied with a chuckle.

[Tomorrow to have fun with me, forget all the heartache we feel. Do we not deserve to be happy, just like them?]

Vallen smiled too.

[You're right.]

[Yes, now you better get some sleep. Tomorrow I'll wait for you where we first met at nine in the morning.]

[Alright, that's a very good idea.]

[Yes, I hung up. Have sleep.]

[Good sleep Firman.] Vallen answered while hanging up.

'Basic cocky guy, even he wouldn't call all this a date?' muttered Vallen while chuckling.

He closed his eyes, but moments later his phone rang again. Vallen took the phone back and looked at a screen name.

"Rayhan" said Vallen, gulping his saliva violently, but he ignored the call and switched off his phone.

'Sorry Rayhan, you're just part of my past.' Vallen murmured as he closed his eyes.
