The Bridge Of Love
CHAPTER 39 Broken Hearts Before Having

Chrysanthemums and Carnations drove Vinnie to his house. And Aryo too. They decided to have lunch together.

Chrysanthemum and Aryo cook in Vinnie's mini kitchen. Previously, they stopped by the nearest supermarket to buy ingredients.

“What is it okay to let the men who cook?” ask Vinnie to worry.

“It's okay. Kris is good at cooking. You must love the cuisine,” timpal Anyelir develop a big smile. He was amazed by the condition of the house Vinnie simple but looks comfortable because of the unique decor in the house.

Vinnie nodded his head as he tasted the dishes made by the men. Already too hungry or indeed a delicious cuisine, all ate voraciously. Looks harmonious by occasionally throwing a joke. Unseen who the superiors or subordinates were, they looked like best friends.

Carnations glanced at the husband. “Kris, have you heard from Andy?” tanyakanya.

“Ya,” replied Kirsan briefly. He was no longer interested in talking about the man.

“Do you know what really happened?” ask Carnation again.

“No idea,” replied Chrysanthemum was busy with food on her plate. Aryo also did not chimed in the chatter of a husband and wife. The chrysanthemum took a piece of salmon and moved it to the wife's plate. “Eat, good for health.”

“It should be added a little lemon, it will definitely taste better,” said Aryo while putting a piece of salmon into his mouth.

“No lemons. This is also not too bad,” timpal Chrysanthemum.

“Nobody said it wasn't good. I just said it would be better if you added lemon!” cibir Aryo's.

Vinnie looks at Aryo and Chrysanthemum's seemingly familiar interactions. Very different when they work. There is currently only a display of friendship between them.

“Nona, do you need a bowl? I'll get you,” said Vinnie saw Anyelir take tom yam and put it on a plate.

“No need, I just tasting. Oh yes, do not talk formally to me when outside of working hours,” said Anyelir.

Vinnie just smiled. Feeling that he is still inappropriate for non-formal talk to Carnations.

No more talk about Andy. They joke more. Sometimes talking about recipes or making guesses at each other.

Carnations and Chrysanthemums leave Vinnie's house after enjoying lunch. They have one place to visit. They leave Aryo and Vinnie.

“No need to wash. Let me do the dishes,” said Vinnie who saw Aryo preparing to wash the dishes.

Aryo touched Vinnie's shoulder. He pushed slowly for Vinnie to sit on the sofa in front of the tv. “You just got out of the hospital. Let me do the dishes.”

Aryo washing dishes. While Vinnie sat on the sofa with occasional glances towards Aryo. The man did not just wash the dishes. However, he also cleaned his kitchen area.

“If you need any help. Do not hesitate to contact me,” Aryo said while sitting on the sofa next to Vinnie. He stared at the tv showing a badminton game.

“Thanks,” says Vinnie full of smiles. He wanted to ask Aryo why the man did not come home. His boss was gone half an hour ago. However, that question was not asked. I don't know why he didn't ask that.

“Ah! It should be in smash! Though the ball giggly!” aryo.

Vinnie just gave a wry smile. Enjoy the live broadcast of a badminton match with a man who manages to thrill his heart.

“Lumayan,” Vinnie replied.

“Lain times, we have to watch directly in the field. Would you like to come if I get the ticket?”

“Bby,” replied Vinnie a little shy.

Aryo's phone rang, he grabbed a glass of water and downed it before picking up the phone call. “Ya, hello.”

Vinnie just glanced at Aryo who was on the phone. The man didn't move to set a privacy limit on the call. Not even tilting the head, even though his ears are connected to a cell phone. However, his eyes remained fixed on the tv screen.

Aryo's not limiting his privacy. Makes Vinnie reluctant to move places to give Aryo space to freely call. Not heart stealing intent hear. However, from Aryo, the phone connection was nothing important or confidential.

“Good. Ok. Miss you,” Aryo said at the end of her phone call.

The last sentence was heard by Vinnie. He only blinked his eyes once, feeling that there was something awkward about the last sentence. “What is it from your mother?” ask Vinnie doubtfully. Wishing the man next to her to tell her the truth is the mother.

“Not. From my lover,” said Aryo casually. He put his phone in his pants pocket. “Me and Helga were betrothed. We have been in love for two months. My mom's worried I'm not getting married. Therefore I was betrothed to my mother's friend's child,” said Aryo slightly chuckled.

Vinnie was a little surprised to hear Aryo say. The man who was very attentive to her turned out to have a lover. Is his good treatment purely just a word from the superior? Yes, Chrysanthemum asked Aryo to take care of her. Everything Aryo does is a task. Is it really like that? Is there no sincerity in it? Or, all this time is a form of pity because he only lives alone in a big city?

Vinnie tried to calm down. “Stupid? You immediately accepted the match?” ask her in a normal tone, trying to relax.

“Entahlah. I just live it. After all, the woman was not bad. So, I'm trying to make this match. He never complained about my hectic work,”, said Aryo.

“Oh.” Vinnie touched his own nape. “Aryo.”

“Ya,” Aryo replied.

“Looks like I'm tired. I want to rest,” said Vinnie. Just an excuse she made for Aryo to leave her house.

“Is anyone sick?” ask Aryo worried.

“Nothing. I just need a break. Looks like sleep will make me much better.”

“Then go to sleep. I'll be on guard here.”

“You know you need to take care of me again. It's not a hospital, it must have been tiring to have taken care of me all this time. I'm already fine. Go home,” said Vinnie held tightness in the chest that suddenly just present.

Aryo's a little awkward. “Good.” He got up from his seat. “I'll let you know if I got a ticket to watch badminton. Helga also likes badminton, you can definitely be good friends.”

“Oh, yes,” said Vinnie.

Aryo's out of Vinnie's house. The girl went into her room. He took out a lunch box containing rose-shaped apple peels. Vinnie stared at the rose skin, transferred the apple skin into a glass box. Tucked very carefully, she gently rubbed the rose-shaped apple skin before closing. Vinnie unconsciously shed his tears.

Rubbing rough cheeks moistened by tears, why did she cry? What is this thing called heartbreak before having it?
