Meet Me At Midnight's
Ornamental Garden

Brian was on his way with Bella. Bella occasionally discusses some documents that must be signed later. Brian just nodded yes without any other comment.

"What about Edith?" bella asked when she saw Brian's not-so-excited face.

"How's what?"

"When is he going to the house?" ask Bella.

"Don't talk about Edith anymore, brother." replied Brian briefly.

"Why? I think you and Edith have been in communication for a long time and gone together." Bella didn't understand what Brian was thinking.

"Take your marriage first. Next I'll take care of my own wedding." Brian was already feeling annoyed with Bella who always asked Edith.

"You don't love Edith?" ask Bella straight to the point.

Brian looked at Bella and Bella's face looked increasingly curious.

"I just consider him my best friend. No more." replied Brian. Bella looks disappointed by what Brian has to say.

"You've been looking good with Edith. I think you like it."

"I just don't want to disappoint him. But it turns out that he had more feelings." Brian replied staring at the scene outside the window. Bella did not comment anymore. He did not want to ask further about his sister's personal life anymore. Bella is afraid that Brian will be depressed by the question.

Brian and Bella are busy with their respective documents. There was no more talk between them until they finally arrived at the office lobby.

*****

Gisel cleansed his body with warm water. Marcus has gone home and he's settled on his feelings for a moment about Brian.

After wearing a blouse and jeans, Gisel tidied his hair and wore thin makeup and lipstick. Because during the day he does not work, he usually goes to Liana's boutique to just chat or debate things that are not important.

Trings...

Gisel opens the door to Liana's bustling boutique with the sound of her bells.

"Greetings daatt.." said Liana. But the moment Gisel saw her coming, Liana instantly shrunk her face.

"Why did you come here? Want to see - see or buy?" ask Liana.

"Why are you angry? Did you just get in trouble with your customers?" gisel asked casually not caring about the sour-faced Liana. Gisel sat down on the sofa that was in Liana's boutique and placed the bag next to her.

"Every night you thought I was seizing another woman's customer. What's he talking about? I told you he was my friend. You stupid woman." said Liana who was sitting next to Gisel.

"He just said 'Liana took my client. Basic women have no ethics' she said." replied Gisel indifferently.

"What's? The insolent! He just can't seduce. Seduce is also maksa." exclaimed Liana with annoyance. Gisel just laughed at Liana's chattering.

"Later tonight I take a day off first." said Gisel.

"What's? A holiday? Your client is looking for you can keep - usually you have a holiday!" said Liana who always talked to Gisel using a high tone.

"Say I am sick. Don't say anything of the sort. If not, then you are!" threaten Gisel, certainly not that serious.

"Buy my clothes first, then you can take a day off." Liana spoke again unconcerned about Gisel's threat.

"I'm lazy to buy your clothes. I'm just gonna buy some shoes!" gisel answered, then he got up and walked out of Liana's boutique.

"See you come back here again, watch out you ask me to bring food of sorts!" liana exclaimed in annoyance and Gisel waved open the boutique door.

Liana let out a long sigh and wagged her long hair.

"Why is it that every time he comes here always pisses me off. It's beautiful! Buy me some food!" liana called one of her employees. The mood was completely destroyed because of Gisel. But the next day, Liana will get better with Gisel.

Gisel walked down the row of shops that were on the side of the road. The large sidewalk felt comfortable for him to walk on. It's getting late. There are quite a lot of people who leave the office at this hour. Enjoying the afternoon breeze, Gisel accidentally bumps into a woman with his co-workers.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Gisel said as he looked at the documents that fell apart. Gisel immediately tidied up the scattered paper. He accidentally saw the envelope of the document. Salim Group's.

For a moment Gisel fell silent when he saw the company logo. As much as possible Gisel behaved as usual.

"This is the paper" said Gisel, handing the file to a graceful woman with her curly hair.

"OKAY. No problem." replied Bella. Bella continues her steps with her co-workers. Gisel heaved a sigh of relief because the woman was neither angry nor scolding him. But why so arrogant? What is his position at Salim Group? Gisel asked, but he did not care and continued his path.

But Gisel's heart became curious when he saw the Salim Group's logo. Was what Liana said all along true that the director of the company was a young man named Brian?

Gisel turned his back and tried to check back, guessing if there was a young man there with a pretty handsome face? Yeah, Gisel reimagined Brian's face from fifteen years ago. But is it the same face from the old days? Or maybe, Liana said that Brian was handsome?

"Ah, nothing is similar. Maybe Liana was wrong or I was too hopeful?" gisel said to himself. Being too absorbed in watching the group from Salim Group, he did not pay attention to his steps until he hit a man in front of him so he fell.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Gisel said, cursing himself, why he was so stupid today.

"What are you doing?" Asked the man while extending his hand.

The deg!

Gisel's heart was pounding hearing that voice. Gisel turned his head and saw the figure of a truly handsome man before him. The man smiled sweetly, his eyebrows thick, his nose pointed and his lips red. How perfect Gisel's eyes look.

"Sir Brian, are you okay - what?" asked Mr. Liam with a gasp for chasing Brian and brought some files with the Salim Group logo.

Gisel realized who he was dealing with at this moment. Liana's right. That the director of the Salim Group is a young man named Brian.

Without welcoming Brian's hand, Gisel immediately got up and hurried away from Brian.

"I'll go first."

Brian is a bit confused by Gisel's attitude that he does not know exactly. Then Mr. Liam resuscitated Brian to immediately go to the meeting where Bella had been waiting for him.

During the meeting, Brian was a little unable to concentrate, Mr. Liam nudged him occasionally to wake Brian from his daydream.

"Are you uncomfortable, sir?" ask Mr. Liam as soon as the meeting is over and drive Brian to go home.

"No, Mr. Liam. Do I look like that?" Brian asked his secretary.

"Sorry, Sir. But you didn't seem to concentrate during the meeting." replied Mr. Liam honestly.

Brian laughed to hear Mr. Liam who was older than him always called him 'Father'.

"Sir Liam can call me casually. Because it's out of business" Brian said with a smile.

"Good, Sir. I'm sorry." Mr. Liam is too polite for Brian. He heard more 'sorry' from Mr. Liam than 'thank you'.

"Already, Sir. Maybe I'm not feeling well, so it doesn't seem to concentrate."

"It's exhausting, huh, sir? Should I take you somewhere to get some wind?" Mr. Liam was really kind to Brian. Until - until, he almost never rejected anything that Mr. Liam suggested.

"Do you know a good place?" ask Brian in curiosity.

"I happen to know, sir."

"Come there, sir." Brian sounds very enthusiastic.

"Good, Sir." Mr. Liam drove him to a place where there is a garden decorated with beautiful flickering lights.

Mr. Liam drove him to a park near one of the big malls in a city. Flickering lights and flowers that are beautifully arranged with decorative lights make the garden look beautiful.

"It's over, sir" said Mr. Liam.

"Is this the place?"

"Yes, Sir. Please Mr. walk alone, I will wait in the car." said Mr. Liam.

"Why, Sir? You can come with me and walk together" Brian said innocently making Mr. Liam laugh.

"Sorry, Sir. Not I don't want to. But who come to this place more couples. If I walk with you, it will look strange" said Mr. Liam. Brian nodded in understanding with Mr. Liam's intention.

"alright. I go down first. I'll call again."

"Good, Sir."

Then Brian got out of the car, enjoying the atmosphere of the park at night. The garden looks beautiful. Brian went through the park bit by bit.

There are still many decorative lights in the park that Brian still wants to enjoy. Brian really spoiled his eyes to see the flowers in the garden with a dark lamp - a beautiful dark. Little by little, the park was Brian tracing, making a big smile on Brian's lips.

On the other hand, Gisel enjoys his days off quietly because there is no need to bother serving striped men one by one. Tonight he wants to be himself Enjoy the free night breeze and breathe fresh air as deep as possible. His lips covered a sweet smile when he found a swing in the garden of decorative lights. He made the swing and he leaned his head on the side of the swing.

His memory is like returning to a time when he was very happy to sit on a swing.

Whether this was called fate or coincidence, Brian saw the shadow of Gisel sitting on the swing. Slowly use both feet. Really, Brian's heart thumped when he saw that shadow. Near him was a swing that Gisel was slowly riding on, looking at it from afar for a moment.

The woman looks beautiful with the hair cut and white and salem alloy dress. Looking up at the sky, looking at the shining star with her beautiful smile. Brian asked in his heart. Could this be the Gisel that had been looking for all this time?
