Before we split up
Chapters - 10

Since dawn, Ayunda had instructed Nindyra to update her if there was any news of anything regarding her gallery. But this afternoon, Ayunda waited for her next phone while tugging at her collar.

He retreated from the dining table they had turned into ‘divorce’ headquarters, and stretched his neck as well as his shoulders by twisting them slowly.

Ocean leaned against the seat behind Ayunda to show the details of the property investment whose value is related to other assets, Ayunda could smell the sharp aroma and feel the body heat of the Ocean. And it was very annoying and annoying for Ayunda. Already twice Ayunda refrained from yelling at the Ocean, asking him to sit in the corner of the room and give twelve feet to make it comfortable.

“How now?” ask Samudra's.

"I'm so tired, how about we end it and resume it again tomorrow morning?”

“A tiring? Are you kidding me, Ayunda?” The pen fell on the back table, followed by the sound of friction on the floor. “We're starting a bit late in the afternoon so you can get enough rest, and you're spending half your time here calling. How can we solve it in one week's time if we haven't even finished the twelfth today?”

“I'm sorry Samudra.” said Ayunda earnestly.

"We won't be able to finish this if I can't concentrate" Samudra said.

The ocean was beside Ayunda, with a look of frustration and worry in her eyes. “Are you hungry? I'll order some food for you. What do you want, steak, pasta, soto or what?”

Ayunda shook her head, she did not want any more food stuffed into her stomach. Cream cheese, and smoked salmon were enough to fill his stomach this morning. He's already full. Very full!!

“No, thank you. All I need is sleep.”

Yes, all he needs is rest so that he can focus on working and to ignore the temptations of the Ocean that had been stuck from him.

“How about we take a break for a moment. Then we start again ten minutes later?”

Ayunda raised a doubtful gaze, but her mind was distracted with the Ocean's sturdy neck and collar open enough to make her want to see more.

Why the Ocean? Why, after so many years of waiting, his heart and body rose and breathed back. Why can't Ayunda ignore the Ocean?

The atmosphere changed and the Ocean touched it, its strong fingers gently massaging Ayunda's neck. Ayunda froze, the air becoming stuffy in the chest as panic crept all over her body. “No need Ocean!!”

“Ayunda you need to relax.”

But how could Ayunda relax if the Ocean was so close that the heat of the Ocean's body was felt on his skin, and the man's breath brushed the fine hair behind his ears, sending the goosebumps wrapped around his skin as the Ocean muttered hoarsely, “Come, Darling.”

The ocean collects the hair on the nape of Ayunda with one hand, then turns it around and pulls it to the side with a friendly gesture that disturbs the mind so much that Ayunda feels doubtful. If he turns around, he will find the Ocean staring intently into his eyes with a love that was once erased by time.

“No.” Suddenly Ayunda tried to shake the hand of the Ocean away.

But Ocean quickly caught his wrist, calming his rejection attempts. “Stop!”

Samudra whispered softly in his ear, “Rileks only yes.”

Ayunda's heart is pounding wildly in the chest huh. Oh, my God, this is a mistake.

For a long time Ayunda did not feel the sensation that hunted him like this until he was hot. Make him feel pain for something unreachable.

Ayunda can no longer bear the touch that in the ocean.

“Samudra,” Ayunda caught between the panic of his passion.

"I know I didn't give you time to prepare for our togetherness. But the sooner we get it done, the sooner we can get up. You go back to your life, and I go back to mine. Free and clean.” Samudra said.

Samudra's thumb presses firmly on the bottom of Ayunda's head, touching a precise pressure point bordering on pain. “Isn't that what we both want?"

“Ya.” Ayunda took a deep breath through the nose and exhaled slowly, and broke away from the touch of the Ocean. "But I have to go!"

“Do you have a date with another man? The man who was yesterday in Jogja maybe?” The frustration in the voice of the Ocean made Ayunda turn around and stare at the man sharply. Ayunda is too sensitive about that.

“Don't be silly, he's a nobody. But speaking of dating, if you feel lonely, just call your girlfriend. Or have you ‘broken again’ with your affair?”

The corner of the Ocean's mouth twitched, his eyebrows dropped. “Why do you know about that? You still find out about my beauty?”

My God, why am I so lost? “I'm just guessing,"

“Look, I really need a rest.

“True, because counting your money feels so tiring.” Ocean stroked Ayunda's hair gently, then looked at her “Ayunda you should be serious about this.”

Jeez ”I've cancelled a lot of my work agenda for a guy I haven't seen in years. Is that not serious enough Ocean?”

If Ayunda expects Samudra to retreat or look remorseful, it is unlikely to happen. “Yang is right. Working with you is actually just sitting around together for over twenty-seven minutes. Seriously, I'm amazed. Between your inability to focus and the people you have to call every hour. I don't know how the gallery can keep going. Really just because of luck.”

Ayunda's chin jerked, he was so furious.

“Yes, it is truly a miracle I can still open my gallery. You son of a bitch, Samudra.” Ayunda is very unhappy if the Ocean underestimates his gallery.

The ocean snorted, then looked back to the side cynically. “Yeah, Ayunda, you're so sensitive, even though I'm trying to help you.”

Ayunda leaned his body before the Ocean, and glared at him. “It's not clear that I don't need your help? If I don't want anything from you at all?”
