The Marriage Pursuit.
92. In Silence.

HAPPY READING'S...

***

Tiara walked towards the canteen. At least a cold drink was able to quench his thirst during a very hot day like now.

With a quick step, Tiara immediately smiled happily approaching the refrigerator.

A little down to find a drink that you like.

Tiara's choice fell on the fizzy drink and immediately paid for it before finally sitting on one of the benches.

Not many people sit there. For it was suitable for Tiara to slightly finish her task at the venue.

By turning on the Laptop, Tiara was completely immersed in it.

Time continued to turn until a man also entered the canteen. The first thing he saw was Tiara who was busy with a Laptop.

I don't know what he was thinking until the man really wanted to get close to Tiara to just talk. For a very long time he had not talked to the girl even though in the past Tiara was one of the bridges for him to successfully approach other girls.

"Hi" he said, making Tiara raise her head. Find out who the person who was greeting her just now.

"Dee-an?" tiara was surprised. How could he not be surprised by the figure in front of him at this moment.

"Why was it so surprised?" dean asked with a friendly smile.

Who would try not to be surprised by Dean's sudden arrival like now. Tiara and Dean no longer chatted frequently the past few months. More precisely after Dean broke up with Akira.

Although Tiara actually has nothing to do with everything, but from the way Dean avoids making Tiara realize that there is no reason for her to get along with the man.

"No" elak Tiara. He doesn't know what to reason for.

"Can you sit down?" ask Dean.

Tiara simply nodded stiffly without saying anything.

Dean put his bottle on the table and sat down. "Why alone?" tanyakanya. But clearly Tiara understood that Dean must be looking for someone who was always with Tiara. Who else if not Akira.

"Yes, I want to finish my job." replied Taira without bringing Akira's name in her conversation.

However, Tiara knew that since then, neither Akira nor Dean had ever spoken again.

"Your class is done?" tiara asked just a pleasantry.

"Have..wanted to go home but the weather was very hot...".

Tiara nodded in agreement with what Dean said. Because of the current weather also Tiara arrived at this place to find a drink.

But who would have thought that in this cafeteria he even met Dean.

The awkwardness took over the mood. Somehow it feels so different from what it used to be when Dean was still in a relationship with Akira.

Tiara was not as nervous as she was now.

Aghh... I really don't have a topic of conversation.

"How are you?" ask Dean slowly.

Tiara immediately stopped her activities. The vocabulary Dean was wearing just now sounded ambiguous. You mean who's? Akira's? so Tiara's heart spoke.

"Who?" tiara asked trying not to understand.

"Who else would it be if it wasn't him?"

"about?"

"Hm,"

Oh so Dean asked Akira? confused to answer what. Because what Tiara knows, Akira now looks much happier than before.

"It's about fine." replied Tiara briefly.

"What about the practice?" ask Dean again. All he knows, the Department of Health that Akira entered is the practice of injecting. And Dean also heard that many students are having difficulties in the practice.

"Oh that, um," Tiara scratched her head that wasn't itchy at all.

"Tomorrow the exam begins... I think Akira will be able to get through it easily." replied Tiara.

"really?" of course Dean wasn't sure. Because what he knows, Akira has never done anything related to syringes.

"Of course, Akira has a family that supports her,". Tiara emphasized her words when saying husband while observing Dean's face. Once upon a time there was something different about the man's face when Tiara mentioned another man.

Uh, is that an expression of disappointment? inner Tiara was a little surprised.

"About having a great husband, even Akira learned to inject with Arjun," Tiara added, but Dean did not ask.

"meaning?" of course Dean's hooked. What can Arjun do with Akira's practice.

Was he Akira's experiment, was he?

"About learning to inject using Arjun's hands, and the man also taught Akira. Arjun used to go to medical school, so get it all...".

Dean is immediately surprised, he does not even know that Arjun had studied medicine as he currently studies.

Not only Dean, everyone will also not think that Arjun had studied in other fields and eventually jumped into the company owned by his family.

"Arjun is the ideal type of all women..smart, handsome, well-established..Akira is lucky.." The praise in Tiara to make Dean a little aware that he can no longer have Akira.

"You know that Akira and her husband are just." said Dean. He deliberately did not continue his sentence to make Taira react a little.

"Yes, it used to be like that. I was also a little late to know everything." replied Tiara.

"Have you? it means not anymore?" dean asked more to want to know about everything.

Why do I have such a bad feeling?

There was a lot of awkwardness in Dean's speech just now.

Tiara was only afraid that Dean would act foolishly by harassing Akira.

"Akira and Arjun are completely compatible...Akira said that she likes her husband." Tiara added.

Akira is his best friend. Tiara did not want anyone to act maliciously towards Akira let alone by ruining the marriage.

"Lo doesn't really know everything." sideline Dean. From his words, Tiara knows that Dean does not believe Akira's feelings for Arjun.

"I mean Lo?" tiara asked.He needed an explanation for what Dean said.

And what makes Dean believe that Akira doesn't love Arjun.

"Why? Arjun just wants to tie Akira up. The man just wants to play with Akira's feelings.." Dean said so sure.

"No way," Tiara refused with an incredulous smile.

He had seen with his own eyes and head that Akira loved Arjun and vice versa.

Lately, it's always been tucked in Arjun's name when Akira and Tiara are on the phone.

"Lo can say that because he has not seen his behavior directly." said Dean.

And of course his speech was able to make Tiara a little distracted.

Whatdoes thatmean?

"Alright, I go first huh.." said Dean and immediately stood up and left Tiara alone.

After Dean's departure, Tiara simply stared at her laptop screen without doing anything. The idea was completely deadlocked but there was one that was bothering him at the moment. Dean's words.

Yep... Tiara was slightly affected by the man's words.

Did Arjun just lie to Akira all this time? What about Akira? he gave it all to Arjun? Is this what he got later?

"Aaggghh." said Tiara annoyed.

---

In the parking lot, Dean is ready on his bike. But what the man was doing was observing a picture that was on his phone.

The picture was taken long enough but still stored neatly in his phone.

Akira.. whatever is destined for me cannot be captured by others!

Dean then started doing his bike leaving campus.

***

Afternoon in Pradipta House.

Akira who just finished taking a shower gets a phone call from someone.

"Darling..your phone is ringing!" shouted Arjun who was sitting on the bed. Not getting an answer from his wife, Arjun takes Akira's phone to see who's calling.

A tiara?

The one who called was his wife's best friend named Tiara. Just ghost Arjun did not hesitate to answer, "Hello...".

"Eh, Arjun.." Tiara's nervous herself because the one answering her phone is not Akira herself.

"There is... Does Akira exist?"

"About just finished a shower and now change clothes...What's up?" ask Arjun.

Unable to get an answer from Tiara, Akira suddenly came out of the dressing room.

"Who called baby?" ask the girl curious.

"Oh, this is from Tiara." replied Arjun while thrusting Akira's phone and in Akira's Receipt when he got near Arjun.

"Halo Tiara.." said Akira.

"Are you okay?,"

Of course Akira was confused by Tiara's question, even seeing her husband because he did not understand what Tiara said.

"Of course..why ask like that?" ask Akira.

Tiara doesn't usually call just to ask.

"Ah, it's okay.." elak Tiara. He couldn't say that Tiara was curious because of Dean's words, right?

"It's weird that you're this." replied Akira and started walking towards the balcony to see the scenery just before sunset.

"About... tomorrow you go to college, right?"

This is a strange question from Tiara. Why did Tiara ask that again?

"Yes dong... You forgot that tomorrow I have an injection exam?" akira told his best friend several times. But somehow Tiara forgot about it.

"Well, tomorrow after your class is over we meet in the park..."

"Ready.." Akira replied excitedly.
