The Angel of Time
chapter 26

In this world not everything we ask for will always be given at that time. We will continue to pray until we have prayed something that we may have forgotten, but only now does it come true. But we don't realize that we ever asked for such a situation.

In the course of life I always digest in memory, so that I can continue to grow. Either under any circumstances or conditions. From what we have done is good or bad, then how our next steps. How do we accept as easy as to be as difficult as that circumstance. I just thought that Astrid would be my wife. It does not rule out the possibility that I am just a coworker, then it will be something more.

I, who was close to Astrid, suddenly I was able to communicate with Eka. Yeah, my ex-boyfriend's been in a relationship for three years. I'm quite happy because I've been able to have a good relationship with him. But in return, I don't have that plan. I just want something to start well, I have to finish well too.

"Is that really your ex?" ask Astrid.

"Yes my ex. But it's been a long time." I replied.

"You still love him?" ask Astrid.

"No, no." I replied.

"Said Mr. Matin, he's in Malaysia. He said he was going home." Astrid started asking me things that made me lazy to explain. But I can't cover up something that other people want to know. I don't like it when someone doubts me, so I'll explain it so he can be sure and believe what I'm saying.

That night I kept my promise to take Astrid away somewhere that I thought would make her happy. In a restaurant it is quite simple but it is quite spacious. What else is that where I used to work, some employees there also recognize me.

I brought Astrid in a pretty interesting gasebo. Surrounded by a pool whose water is quite clean because of the channel to the pool nearby. The atmosphere of the lights is dim, the garden lights are not too bright. And a small heart-shaped island in the middle of a small pond near the gasebo.

"You likey?" my many.

"She likes it." she replied.

"Hhhm." I smiled and looked into his eyes.

"I deg-degan Gio." he replied.

"Why deg-degan?" penasarana tananyaku.

"This place is deserted, and we're both here. Yeah the place is pretty romantic, so I'm gini deg-degan." Astrid turned her head to the right to the left watching around the place.

"Because I love you?" my many.

"Either.. You made me gnaw this heart." he put his palms to his chest.

We ordered some food that he probably liked. "I can make you love me." I said as I ate, my eyes looking into his eyes. Yeah, like a song by the band Ashtray with a song called make you love me. I can prove it, make Astrid love me.

"I can't answer that" Astrid said with a gaze filled with many mysteries.

"Yes, I told you, let me love you, you don't have to answer yes or no. I just want to let me love you. Whether you accept it or not. Just so I can still love you. Let me keep chasing you." I said.

"What if I can't do it with you?" his eyes are looking at me sharply.

"You'll be hurt. What's next when he comes to pick me up." he bows his head.

"I just said I love you. Not asking you to be my girlfriend. And we stay like this." I assured him that I'm fine.

His hand took a spoonful of food and he put it in my mouth. I just smiled at the way he switched the conversation. I never know what I'll feel when it's really\it's gone. But I always believed I could make him love me. I know it's wrong, but what if Astrid really loves me. I don't know either.

That night was romantic enough. He loved the place, and the food he loved. Makes me feel relieved, and calm. After we finished eating we ate.

"I used to work her way home" Astrid said.

"Where do they work?" my many.

"Then I was working at Asus" he replied.

We went home through Jln.Palagan, because this route is the fastest to go to Jakal.

"When you came home to Magelang when we played to Ketep, you remember?" tanyakanya.

"Emmm... Yes, I remember." I replied.

"I was hot with Mr. Matin" he replied.

"What's hot in the heat?"

"He said gini, Gio no news? I keep answering yes sir. He said gini, Gio went again to Wonosari meet Wulan. Try in contact, I replied just a check, Mr. Matin said in Wonosari there is no signal mbak, so he does not know you. I was ready to believe, but ah no way ah, Gio said he wanted to go back to Magelang. That." he replied.

"Haha.. There was no signal at home" I said.

"Yes I don't know, who knows if you'll ever see Eka again" he said.

"She's in Malaysia" I said.

"Dudududu.."

"Haha.."

That night it made me heart gymnastics, I was worried if he didn't believe me.
