I thought Love was a Lie
CHAPTER 55. A SERIES OF SHORT MESSAGES

In a restaurant not far from the hotel where he stayed, that's where Bayu and Naura are currently. Two people of different types were sitting facing each other enjoying their lunch. More precisely lunch in the afternoon, because previously they fell asleep so soundly that they missed their lunch time.

Naura enjoys her food quietly as if there is no Bayu before her, while Bayu himself occasionally steals the field on Naura while feeding his own mouth.

Bayu was still curious about the person called Mas by his little girl, whether that person was the same person as the person Naura met in the park three days ago.

"Em, is it okay tonight we're staying at a hotel? Tomorrow morning we will continue our journey to the apartment where we lived while we were here. And the apartment was not far from the location of the construction of his cafe" said Bayu, trying to break the silence.

Naura raised her gaze to look at Bayu, then nodded her head. After that Naura resumed eating without replying to the words of her friend's sister.

"Naura, can I not?" said Bayu again, although actually he was a bit disappointed if it turns out that his little girl already has a lover. But, Bayu still curious about the lucky man who has reigned in the heart of Naura.

"There," answered Naura briefly.

"Em, who?" ask Bayu again.

"My mother and father." replied Naura, looking at Bayu for a while and continued eating again.

"Em, if other than your Mom and Dad?"

"Maybe Lusi," Naura replied, this time without looking at Bayu and staying focused on her food.

"others? Em, I mean maybe that special person,"

"People who are special to me are only my Mother and Father" Naura replied steadily.

Hearing the final answer from Naura, Bayu finally fell silent. It seemed, the little girl would not say who the man who had now reigned in her heart was. But, even so does not reduce the admiration of Bayu on Naura. Is it wrong to admire someone else's?

Moments later, Naura and Bayu had finished their lunch. And now continued with the discussion about the design of the cafe development. Naura explained in great detail the sketch she was going to make, and it added to Bayu's admiration for her little girl. True to what Lusi said, his friend is very talented. Just explaining the sketch alone has made Bayu very satisfied.

"How, Brother? Does Sis Bayu like this sketch I made? Ah, or if not later tonight I will make some more examples that Kak Bayu might like" said Naura, this time he looked seriously at Bayu like never before who seemed indifferent and Bayu liked it. It turned out that her little girl was very good at talking.

"Em, look at Naura. My job is just to monitor the construction, the rest is your job. So, whatever the result will be I'm sure it must be the best." Bayu said.

"But Brother, I also have to ask Big Brother's opinion right?"

"No need, I'm sure your work must be the best" Bayu replied confidently. "Anyway, my job will only monitor the work of the employees and you too" he continued.

"Oh, okay. Thank you for fully entrusting this project with me."

"Of course, I'm sure my Papa cafe will be the top cafe of the year."

Naura pulled out her phone from the bag, then looked back at all the messages sent by her ex-husband.

''Naura, Mas kangen.''

"Naura, can we meet?''

"Why not pick up the phone, Mas?''

''Naura, don't tell me that you're avoiding Mas now,''

'Naura, please pick up the phone, Mas wants to talk, Mas kangen."

Naura tearfully read all those messages, yet it was unable to move her heart to return. By now, Naura had completely closed her heart even though there was still a little taste for her ex-husband. But, Naura was sure that as time went on, all the sense of it would disappear like it was the first time the bond existed, he said, at that time Naura did not have any taste in the men who sent her a series of short messages.

Feeling evil if she continued to ignore the message, Naura finally began typing a reply message for her ex-husband. After all, she had also promised not to refuse if her ex-husband came to offer her friendship.

"Mas, I'm sorry I just got back the message, I fell asleep. Mas, sorry maybe for a few days we can't meet because I'm out of town. Thank God now I've got a job, I also don't know for sure how long I've been here."

The message sent, Naura put her phone back in the bag, then raised her gaze to look at Bayu who was staring at her.

"Ah sorry," Bayu also became misbehaved because he was caught staring at the little girl, Bayu also immediately pulled out his phone and called his friend to reduce his awkwardness.

"Hello Bro, how was the meeting, all right?" asked Bayu, after his call with someone in the capital connected.

"Alhamdulillah smoothly Bro, how? Are you with that girl now?" ask Bayu's friend, who is none other than Revelation. Revelation has now reached his home after meeting Diandra in the garden.

"Ah yes, this is again eating at the restaurant." Bayu replied softly, at a glance he glanced at the little girl then quickly turned his gaze in the other direction.

"Wuih steady Bro, try to send a picture of the two of you, I want to see" said Wahyu, at this time he was lying on his bed. Although he was talking to his friend at the moment, his focus remained on Naura, one hand rubbed the mattress where Naura always slept beside him.

"Ah cada-nada loh, not so far away that time," Anxious Bayu, his friend as if constantly challenging himself to approach his little girl. "Yes I hung up the phone first yes, I just want to ask about the meeting, and thank God if everything goes well" said Bayu then like his habit of always ending the call without permission.

There Revelation huffed because her friend had always been like that, deciding on the call without excuse even though the friend himself had started the call.

"Mayu Bayu, hopefully someday you can find the mooring of your heart, and you will take care and love him wholeheartedly. Unlike me who now can only regret." Murmuring Revelation, a moment later he smiled to find a message coming in from Naura. However, his smile slowly dissipated upon seeing the contents of the message.

"Naura, why don't you go and not say the same Mas." he said, staring at the screen of his cellphone where there is a reply message from his ex-wife.
