"Vallen, you really surprised me, thankfully my body was solid so I didn't collapse."
"Hahahaha, because you look adorable so I'm reflexively hugging you" Vallen replied with a chuckle.
"Warming?" word the Word while frowning.
"Yes." Yeah."
"What's so adorable?"
"Why are you dressed like this?"
"Oh, this morning I had a job interview."
"Working interview?"
"Yes, at the resort where you were staying yesterday. I just finished a job interview there."
"Then?"
"Then I was accepted." replied the Word with a smile.
"So you're going to work at that resort? At Anyer?"
Word shook his head.
"You said you got accepted to work, but why are you shaking your head?" grouse Vallen.
"Because I won't be working there, from tomorrow I will be working in Jakarta, at the head office that is here."
"really?" asked Vallen with a radiant face.
"Yes, I'm going to work here, and I just moved my stuff in the mess that's here."
"Wow good news, so we can meet often right? I'll definitely come visit you often at the mess and bring you some food."
Hearing Vallen's words, Firman smiled.
"Why are you just smiling? Don't you want to meet me?"
"No, not like that."
"You don't have to come to my mess often."
"But why?"
"All mess residents are almost entirely men, I don't want any of my friends to see you and then be interested in you. Let's go now." said Firman as he pulled Vallen's hand and walked towards the bike.
Vallen smiled at the Word.
'Based on arrogant men, you are too proud and prestige to admit your feelings.' murmured Vallen inwardly while looking at the Word holding his hand.

Inara sat in one corner of the cafe observing a man who was now sitting while occasionally looking at his watch. The happy face that was drawn on her face made Inara's heart feel so sick.
"Mas, I've just seen a very happy look on your face. Vallen really is a source of happiness for you" Inara said as she stared at Rayhan, who was playing his phone.
Rayhan was typing a message on his phone to tell Vallen.
Vallens:
Vallen, I'm at the cafe. At table no 15.
"I told him, now I'm just waiting for his arrival. Hopefully Vallen will come back to me, and will decide on his girlfriend" Rayhan said with a smile.
That's when the net was on a woman and a man who entered the cafe.
"Damn!! Why did Vallen come with a man? Is that man called the Word?" rayhan said as he looked at Firman from toe to toe until they were now near the table and sat in front of Rayhan.
Vallen smiled at Rayhan. "How are you Rayhan? Have you been waiting a long time?"
"Not too long ago, I thought you came alone."
"But unfortunately, I don't have a wife because I've turned on my wife."
Vallen looked at Rayhan.
"Why did you do that, Rayhan?"
"Because I just realized it's very difficult to love a woman other than you." replied Rayhan who made the heart of Word feel so thundered his eyes now also staring sharply at Rayhan. But when he was about to say, Vallen glanced at him and asked the Word to be silent first.
"Rayhan, it's not appropriate for you to say that. When you decide to marry Inara, you should be responsible for all the decisions you make. Remember Rayhan, you promised in front of God when you said the qabul ijab. You can't deny that by committing dzolim against your wife."
"What are you really saying, Vallen?"
"You've never done your duty as a husband, have you? Hasn't you always been taught religion in depth by your parents? You should know it was Rayhan."
"Vallen, you know what? I've been trying to love Inara, but it's not as easy as I imagined, too hard and it's finally making me give up."
"You're too easy to give up Rayhan. You've only been married a few months but you've given up on the situation?"
"Yes, because I know I won't be able to. Vallen, I'm sorry. If this is all you want to talk about I'd better go home, until whenever my decision stays the same."
"But Rayhan, Inara is pregnant with your child, your flesh and blood Rayhan!!"
"A.. Aaapa?"
"Yes Inara is pregnant, you can't just leave her. You are the father of the child in Inara's womb. You can't be selfish, Rayhan! You should think about your wife and daughter!"
"Baa.. How do you know she's pregnant?"
"That's all because of you. You've closed all access to your communication with Inara or your family, he's so confused how to tell you!"
"So she came to you to tell me about her pregnancy?"
"Yes, because only in this way can she tell if she's pregnant."
"A bad idea, she'll come to you? Basic embarrassing!"
"Rayhan why are you saying that? You're not the Rayhan I know. You never used to act like this. You've always been gentle and respectful to women."
"Rayhan, however, Inara is pregnant with your child, as a man you should be responsible to your child and wife" Firman said.
"You better not interfere" Rayhan replied, staring intently at the Word.
"Rayhan listen to me, you can never love Inara because you never open your heart, you always live in the shadows of your past. You have to throw away all the memories we've been through together and then try to open your heart's door for her, give her a chance and open a new page. I'm sure someday you'll love her."
"You mean like you who now love other men?"
Vallen smiled too.
"Yes, just like me. I always try to be sincere and forget all my past with you because I don't want to live in the shadows of the past, I always try to open a new page until I meet the Word."
"So now there is no longer any feeling of your love for me even if just a little?"
"It's gone, it's all gone."
Hearing Vallen's words, Rayhan smiled. He then looked at the Word.
"What exactly have you done that Vallen is so crazy about you?"
"I didn't do anything, because the love came by itself. Rayhan, go back to your wife. Just explain everything that has happened, if he is not your soul mate as hard as you grip him he will still go from you but if you have met your soul mate, then, even if you took it off all the way, she'll definitely come back to you."
Hearing the words of the Word, Vallen then looked at him.
'Haven't these words ever been said by Drey's mother at the wedding? How could the Word say such a thing as this too? I better ask later.' muttered Vallen while staring at the Word which made Rayhan filled with feelings of jealousy.
'Vallen, do you currently admire your lover so much? Is he so great that he makes you really crazy about him?' rayhan said in his heart.
Rayhan then took a deep breath.
"Vallen, can we speak four eyes?"
