“Please trust me Rey, put me down in this area,” Annabelle shows her borrowed Reyhan mobile screen.
“Allen's men or Mr. Wira must have been watching my house and I don't want them to be prejudiced against you. Yudha will pick me up here and I'll catch up with you at Cafe Rosemary with Yudha.”
“What guarantee you won't lie to me ?”
“You know where my house is, where I went to college and many things about me. One thing you will have to add if I am a person who keeps his promises.”
“So Alden cares about you ?”
Annabelle sighed and cast a glance towards the side window. The expanse of tea plantations looks calming. The journey to Jakarta still takes about 1 hour.
“Even if Alden cares, I won't care anymore. The accident made me give up on Alden and realize that he wasn't meant for me.”
“Alden has already cancelled his marriage to Sarah.”
“I know and that means you can have Sarah completely,” Annabelle turned her head with a smile.
“I'm sure you will be the happiest man because you can have a woman you love so much in one piece. And I dare guarantee that Alden has not done anything to Sarah,” continued Annabelle while laughing softly.
“Why should you give up on Alden ? Hadn't you been the woman who's been obsessed with Alden and done everything you could to get his love ?”
“What did Sarah tell you that story ? I'm sure Sarah added flavoring spices to the story. Sometimes I think that you lawyers are the greatest drama players and detectives because they are often able to form the opinion of a judge or jury according to the needs of your clients, ”, Annabelle chuckles.
“There is nothing to do with the profession of lawyer with Sarah's story about you,” Reyhan grumbled with a sour face making Annabelle laugh.
“Ya…. Dear lawyer sir. Don't you think that many of the stories that come out of Sarah's mouth are often exaggerated ? I guess it's all because he wants to cover up his flaws and his ambition for wanting to get whatever he wants.”
“You speak as if you know Sarah very well,” Reyhan grumbled again.
“It's hard to talk to a guy who's already soiled in women, anything will sound disfiguring his girlfriend,” led Annabelle back to laughing.
Reyhan noticed Annabelle who continued to talk while laughing.
Truly attractive and sincere looking woman. Darling Alden ignored him for too long, Inner Reyhan.
“Why did you give up on Alden ? Is it possible that love that you wasted so many years just like that ?” Reyhan repeated his question.
“You yourself threw away Sarah when I could see that there was still love in your eyes,” Annabelle sneered while laughing
“Why answer questions with questions ?” Reyhan nagging.
“OK, okay, don't get mad,” Annabelle cupped her hands together with a laugh. “Will I answer your question.”
Reyhan snorted angrily and leaned his hand on the car window.
“I no longer want to be toxic by Alden and I realize there will be no happiness if we force our feelings on others. Even if I could give love and add to it every day for years, Alden hardened his heart to become a stone that would get harder every time I got my love. Inversely proportional to the law of nature where the stone will be eroded slowly and eventually broken if watered continuously.”
“Suitable made film,” ledek Reyhan with mocking smile.
“Every human life can be made into a movie because there are always waves, ripples and sometimes calm washed away. Even your relationship with Sarah can be made soap opera with a longer duration than just a freelance film.”
“I also broke up with Sarah. More precisely I ended our relationship.”
“Why ? Didn't you love her so much and I see that Sarah is also bothering you.”
“Basic chick sotoy,” Reyhan thunts makes Annabelle laugh.
“I didn't expect Reyhan's lawyer to be a handsome guy who's easy to tease. Is your job so tedious because it takes up your time that it is difficult to enjoy life in the real world, not the courtroom ? Or because your focus is only on Sarah ? Basic guy bucin,” ledek Annabelle.
“How about instead you become my lover?” challenge Reyhan with a slightly arrogant face, Annabelle immediately sneered.
“No interest in having a lawyer girlfriend. Could if again fight, directly faced with the articles of KUHP,” Annabelle shook her head steadily while laughing.
“So nice to have a businessman girlfriend ? A little bickering persuaded him to use unlimited cards ?”
“Basic men lack of attention !” grouse Annabelle with pursed lips.
“Kan told me I gave up on Alden. Now my future lover is a doctor, a psychiatrist who helped Sarah after the accident.”
Reyhan immediately chuckled making his driver immediately glance through the middle rearview. It had not been a long time to hear his master laugh so loosely.
“It turns out you're not a full-fledged man,” muttered Annabelle while sneering.
“How can you who are in a coma suddenly fall in love with the psychiatrist who accompanied Sarah ? Love location ?”
“Yudha was Alden's best friend since they were Junior High and I also knew him when they were his geeks and then metamorphosed into handsome men.”
“You think those butterflies have to go through metamorphosis ?” Reyhan laughed again.
“That's an easy term Alden, uh I mean Reyhan.”
“Tuh was using said to have forgotten Alden and fell in love with a psychiatrist. Your heart and mouth are out of sync until you see all the men in front of you as Alden. If in court, your testimony is not valid.”
“The name also slipped, accidentally,” replace the pouting Annabelle.
“Then I cancel your date,” ledek Reyhan. “You can see me as Alden not Reyhan, but I do not lose his good looks with your favorite guy.”
“I'm not interested either.”
“And I was serious about asking you to be my girlfriend.”
“That I was just replacing Sarah,” Annabelle's sneer. “My life will not be quiet because Sarah certainly can not accept the fact that I am the one who became your lover after you broke up with her. I could go into a coma a second time and never wake up again.”
“Ngot accept dying young because it has not been delivered love Alden?” cebik Reyhan's.
“I told you that my future girlfriend is Yudha, that handsome psychiatrist.”
“Nebelieve !” Reyhan shook his head while smiling mockingly.
“I don't need your trust in who will be my girlfriend, but I need you to trust me to let Yudha take the discount and deliver it to Rosemary's cafe.”
“Why don't I take you home, you take it and give me that loose disc and our business is in order.”
“So you don't want to know how I can memorize all of Sarah's words while in Bogor ?”
Reyhan knitted his brows, thinking for a moment and Annabelle just kept quiet, letting the man beside her consider her offer.
“Okkey, I trust you and I want to hear your explanation too. Call your future girlfriend, I'll take you there.”
Reyhan also shared the directions Annabelle showed to the driver who took them.
“We go to this address, Mun. I have sent the instructions to your phone.”
However, Reyhan's trust driver slowed down the car's speed and opened the corresponding directional application sent by Reyhan.
“About 25 minutes to get there, Sir.”
“Go there, Mun.”
Reyhan hands Annabelle his phone to contact Yudha, making sure the man picks her up there.
“Please give me back my phone, Rey. I'll activate it once I get home.”
Annabelle stuck out her stacked hand, asking for her phone that Reyhan was still holding.
“How about Alden's men keep you at home and don't let you go again ?”
Reyhan's eyes narrowed, waiting for Annabelle to answer her doubts about all the possibilities that made Annabelle fail to keep her promise.
“Trust me Rey, I have 1001 ways to keep my promise.”
Reyhan smiled faintly and nodded. It seemed so easy Reyhan trusted Annabelle. Is it possible because of their conversation during this 1-hour trip ?
Reyhan believed it only because of Annabelle's eyes. The girl's gaze was completely sincere, with no cunning intentions emanating there, making Reyhan a little goosebumps, afraid of falling for the girl next to him.
“Down, I will wait for you to keep your word,” Reyhan said as they arrived at Annabelle's chosen location.
Yudha was standing next to her car, looking at Reyhan's car which stopped not far from her car
