I Have His Heart But Not His Body
Eps. 38 Painful meetings
A year has passed since that breakup. There has been no communication between Arifin and Citra in the past year.
Citra works very professionally, so that Mr. Djoko raised him to be a manager of his branch hotel in Bali.
That morning Citra was in her room. Suddenly someone knocked on the door of his room. The image that heard the knocking of the door immediately replied from inside his room "come in".
"Mom tomorrow there is a meeting at the center" said Tobi who is Citra's secretary.
"Owh. Can it be represented?" ask Citra with a lazy voice.
Tobi who does not understand the purpose of his boss's question looks a bit confused to answer what.
The image raised its head, seeing Tobi was looking at him confused."Why look at me like that? I asked, should I? Can't it be represented?"
"I'm sorry ma'am, but based on an invitation sent by email, this meeting is so important that all managers from branch hotels are required to attend.
"Hmmm. Prepare everything necessary. We're leaving on a flight this afternoon, so we don't get exhausted at tomorrow's meeting". Citra Seru. Tobi immediately issued orders from his superiors.
After Tobi left, Citra took her phone and looked at the photo of the handsome man on her front screen wallpaper. "I don't know how to behave when I meet you tomorrow. I know, everything you do at my request and for our sacred love, but somehow this heart cannot accept" murmured the image in his daydream.
"Tok.tok.tok" the sound of knocking on the door that disperse the daydream of Citra. The image immediately wiped away the tears that had flowed down her cheeks "please enter".
"Sorry ma'am, there's something I have to sign.
"Have the files been carefully examined?"
"Already mom".
"Alright, you can go home at lunch hour to get ready" Citra said.
"Good ma'am" replied Tobi as he passed away.
Currently the time in Jakarta shows at 18.00 WIB.
At the hotel restaurant, Citra was enjoying a cup of tea and looked like a magazine was being held. However, from his expression, he was not reading.His mind looked blank.
Suddenly someone slapped his shoulder.
"So, why just hold the magazine? Said Tobi which made Citra so surprised.
"Bobby,, you? make me surprised". Citra said as she swept her chest...
"Hehehe sorry brother, the end of earlier I noticed brother kok daydreaming trus. Brother thinkin brother Arifin yes. Tomorrow I'll see you". said Tobi.
"hmmm sober, this is a child. But he was, I was confused what to behave when I met him later". Ketus Citra's.
"Sister is quite professional enough aja brother.
"Wise also turns out. You are getting older just deck". Citra replied while pinching Tobi's cheek.
" Hehehehehe,, Yes, actually I'm not that mature. I just follow the words of my brother, that in working hours, we must always be professional.
"hummm. yeah. But I'm proud, for almost a year you worked, you never saw a mistake on your performance deck".
Citra praised Tobi's performance.
"You are my brother, not a year old. Hopefully as long as I work with brother, I don't disappoint brother". Answer Tobi. Tobi is the youngest brother of Citra's Lira (wife of Alekso) cousin. However, in working hours Tobi and Citra always look like superiors and subordinates.
"Amin.amin" Citra said seriously. Kk's going to the rest room. Do not forget to rest either. Citra said as she stood up from her seat and left Tobi.
As Citra took a few steps, suddenly someone called out to her. "Partner..."
The image stopped its pace and turned towards the source of the sound. There were two handsome men walking up to him. The image was so nervous, seeing the sight.
"Alexo? Ariffins? image murmuring in the heart.
The two men approached Citra. "Cit, how are you? Long time no news". Ask Alekso.
"I'm good, Leks. How are Lira and her baby dede?".
"Praise God, we are all good and healthy.
But Citra did not listen to Alekso.Mata followed the footsteps of the man who had been with Alekso. As Alekso approached Citra, the handsome man just walked away, like a stranger he had never known.
"Cit, are you ok?". Ask Alekso who broke the daydream Citra.
"uh...She leks. I'm doing fine. Yes, if so I want to rest first. Give my regards to Lira and the baby dede. Later we stopped by there meeting". Citra said trying to hold tightness in her chest.
"Well Cit, good night. see you!
"Bye"...
After arriving at his hotel room, Citra immediately sat limp on the floor crying. He did not expect, the man he loved so much would behave like that. He did not even glance at the image in the slightest. It was as if the two were strangers who had never met at all.
"Fin, I don't think we're gonna be strangers. What wrong? until you don't want to see me at all. I know, I'm the one who asked you to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband, but I never asked you to alienate me Fin, hikss..hiksss". Citra said in her growing cry.
Suddenly his phone vibrated. Citra grabbed her phone and looked at the phone screen. He put his phone back on and walked to the bathroom to wash his face with water...
