Still Wishing He Back?
37. The Beginning of the Puzzle

"What time is this?" His words were then staring at the clock in his eyes.

After struggling to work exhausting and super busy, Darren tried to stop his work activities for a moment. Drink the coffee that has been available on his desk, and afterwards try to massage his neck and back that feels stiff, because too long made to sit.

He tendered for a moment his body that began to feel stiff and achy, to moment relax the condition of his body that began to look exhausted because it continued to work non-stop.

"Why is there so much work today!" His complaints were staring straight at the thing in front of him.

In his break, he remembered the words of Lucas who wanted to stay at his apartment. Unknowingly, he thought he would have a home for himself.

"I guess I need to buy a house or not, huh?" He suddenly thought of owning a house.

Because she lives in an apartment more often, there is less desire for Darren to stay at home. Although his decision to live in an apartment was because he hated the atmosphere of the house, but somehow he became more willing to live in a wider house with a lot of space in it.

"Maybe I should minimize it again later." He said that he finally began to continue the rest of the work that is still on his desk and forget just his desire to have a house.

That's how Darren finally returned to activities that were busy and tiring for him. Although time continues to spin and show a day that is getting darker, he seems to care less and continue to finish the rest of the work that is piled on his desk.

...

At 7 p.m., he came home from his office. Together with Lucas, he starts walking out to leave the office after struggling on a tiring job for them.

"Will you stop by the apartment first, just met a client?"

"If you go home first, the time will not be overtaken, so we go directly to the meeting location."

"Ok, I'll confirm your arrival to them immediately."

There was no time for Darren to take a break, despite coming home a little late today, due to the piling up work, but once he got home from work, he said, he and Lucas met with a client to discuss their cooperation in business affairs. The two immediately left the office to go to the meeting location by car together.

Less than 30 minutes from the appointment time, but both have arrived at their destination early. Although there is still a lot of time left, each has reached the meeting location, both for Darren and Lucas, and for clients who are also colleagues themselves.

Japanese restaurants are what they choose as a place to talk business. In addition to talking about work, they can also talk casually, considering there is closeness between them, especially Japanese food is the same thing they like.

"Aren't you planning on getting married in the future?" Said his colleagues when trying to mince words on the sidelines of their business affairs.

"Married, huh? Hm.. Looks like it's still a while, 'cause I'm still happy living alone." Reply Darren.

"Oh, so the news that came out was not true, huh? I guess it was from you?

"News?" Darren looked confusedly at his colleague.

"News your wedding to your designer fiancee."

"So even if you have deleted the news, someone has read and reposted the news, so I think the news is true."

"Emm, that. It turned out very quickly spread yes, but after coming out I immediately tried to lower the news."

"The digital era is like this, indeed all fast paced. Even though it has been removed, it will be difficult for us to hide it, because the traces are still there. But why did you drop the news? Is the news not true?"

"Yes, the news is not true, so I tried to bring the news down. The news came out without the consent of me and my family. Moreover, my relationship with Laura, not as you might imagine, we both do not have a special relationship, because she and I just just know." Obviously Bian further.

"Oh, I think you're both in a serious relationship."

"That's impossible, because I'm not interested in a relationship with anyone. I'd rather live alone."

Darren had a casual conversation with his business partner. There was a light laughter surrounding their chatter. Although talking casually, there are times when they talk about their initial goals met, namely about their cooperation in terms of business. Even so, the formal meeting, it turns out can be much more comfortable with small talk from them. Although only 30 minutes of meeting time, but the time feels faster, considering the relaxed and the ring they talk to each other. In the meeting, a lot of things they have discussed, and until the final decision is to be able to satisfy both parties with their future cooperation.

...

Darren along with Lucas returned to the apartment after finishing their work. Because their goal direction is the same, their steps are much lighter, given the fatigue they feel so felt that it is difficult to go back and forth, especially for Lucas himself.

"Where is this, so can I get to your place?"

"At that time, did you ask? why ask again now." Darren said with a slightly irritated face, because it held back fatigue.

"Well, nanya doang, because you like to change your mind."

"You have changed your mind now."

"Ok, okay, won't ask again. Duh, that's it."

Darren looked coldly at Lucas's face, who said he was craving again, but Lucas who got the look could only smile.

And at exactly 10 p.m., the two reached the apartment. Darren who felt tired, headed straight for his room. Lucas, who was with him, also felt the same feeling.

"I took a shower first." Darren told Lucas.

"Ok," Lucas did not refuse, because he was only a guest, especially Darren's apartment only had one bathroom.

Lucas who himself tried to catch Darren, at least he wanted to change his clothes with lighter and more comfortable, considering the clothes he was wearing look already smelly sweat.

"Duh, want to immediately take a quick shower actually. But, at least replace the tops aja deh, this body already sticky all." Complain Lucas.
