Watch Out for Falling in Love
Nobles

Diandra sat pensively while silently watching the ring on Aydan's ring finger as the man busily checked his design through the iPad. The two of them were sitting on the guest sofa in Aydan's room. Andra's heart was still so curious. Is it an engagement ring or a wedding ring?

Until one day secretly find out to his office friends during lunch together at a stall near the office.

"Btw, said Mas Imam, you are still single?" chirping Andra.

"Yes. Except some of us have. Wh why? Looking for a soul mate again?" sahut Yuda smirked. He is an employee of the 3D design rendering department whose job is to beautify the look of 3D building design to make it look real.

Andra just smiled knot. "It just so happens that there is someone else looking for a partner, anyway, Mas," he said.

"Including you too, right?" serobot Anton, a drafter employee whose job it is to create drawings of engineering work.

"Me?" andra asked in shock as she pointed at her own nose.

"hey are. You too, right?"

"Yes, if anyone wants to. I'm the one who likes jutek and fierce," said Andra not confident.

"You know, sometimes there are guys who like girls like that. More challenging and challenging to conquer. Moreover, you are beautiful" said Anton.

"Times, anyway?"

"Yes. Seriously. Well, if your friend how's the guy? If I was, anyway, yes I like the calm and motherly, but that's not the price of death. During the click and match even though it slightly deviates from the criteria, it is still tolerated," said Anton while bribing his last meal.

"Tolerance? Like what the hell Lo, Ton," Yuda commented with a chuckle.

"So who has that partner?" continued Andra curious while sipping iced sweet tea.

"Mas Imam is engaged. He wants to get married again. Mas Aryono, the financial administration, already has a bini. Understand he's the oldest here. Same one more, Mas Aydan. He was also engaged a few months ago" Yuda said.

Suddenly Andra coughed at hearing that. His face turned pale.

"Mas Aydan is already engaged?" tanyanya could not believe it.

"Yes. Like, anyway. He was wearing a ring" replied Yuda.

"Masa, anyway? How come our fiance doesn't fuck us, huh?" search Anton.

"Where do I know. I just want privacy," Yuda added.

Andra's feelings were instantly sad and uncertain. Obviously he was disappointed. Aydan's words at his boarding house three and a half years ago still remember. His promise that would be faithfully waiting until graduation, turned out to be nothing but nonsense for Diandra.

While he is preoccupied with turmoil, Anton and Yuda are instead engrossed in planning something.

"What if it's Sunday night, we're excited? Bring your friends too. Let the more rame," proposes Yuda spirit.

"Well, can, tuh. I haven't seen in the cinema for a long time" said Anton no less excited.

"Let's take the others along, too. You're coming, aren't you, Ndra?" ask Yuda.

The dreamy Diandra gasped when her hand was nudged by Anton. Both of his colleagues hope he agrees with the nobar proposal. With a little force he agreed.

"OKAY. I'll take two of my friends with me as well" replied Andra.

The smiles of the two bachelors were instantly blurred.

The incident at the food stall was still very imprinted because the disappointment was not lost. Andra even daydreamed when Aydan invited him to discuss. His eyes glared at the granite floor. His face also looked glum.

"Andra!" reprimand Aydan.

The girl is still silent. Busy with his own mind.

"Diandra! Are you still here?" reprimand Aydan again. His hands were waving in front of Andra's still daydreaming face.

Unfortunately, he was still unconscious until the man's hand gently touched his shoulder and whispered in his ear and said, "if unconscious too, I kissed, nih."

That mischievous whisper managed to make Andra soar in shock. He immediately shifted his chair and stared intently at his senior.

"What, anyway?" his protest.

"Yes, you have been daydreaming. What else to think, anyway?" his weakness.

"Think nothing, really. Sorry. So how was it? Still have revisions?" ask her with a pounding heart. He tried to seem calm knowing it would be colonized again like when in kosan.

The man was disappointed because since then Andra did not listen to his explanation after explaining at length.  Finally he only gave the iPad that has been given a streak here and there on the design that Andra did.

"There is a revision. Read it yourself!" tell Aydan to be cold. He sat back behind his desk. His eyes were busy staring at the monitor screen with an apple logo.

"Sorry, Mother. I was just thinking about something" said Andra regretted that he had disappointed his boss.

"OKAY. No problem. I hope you don't think strangely," she said coldly.

"It was precisely Mas Aydan who wanted to be weird earlier," he objected with pouting lips.

"I was just kidding. Sorry." which." The man only glanced at it with a cold glance, then returned busy staring at the screen.

Andra could only sigh and finally leave. He sat down in his chair. Look at the iPad screen full of digital scribbles.

He felt that the longer, the distance between himself and his senior was somehow getting further and further away. Although one office and often interact, but only limited to coworkers. There is never again the closeness that engages both hearts as it once did. It's as if Aydan is trying to stay professional and maintain an attitude while in the office. Or is his feeling slowly changing?

A very anticipated Saturday afternoon has finally arrived. Yuda, Anton, and two other male employees, Dika and Fabian, have turned off the office computer and are ready to go home.

They're approaching the Diandra table. The girl was apparently still busy with her work until she did not realize there were four men approaching her.

"Ehem ... is still busy, right?" judah Tegur.

"Eh, Mas Yuda. How come you're all here?" andra asked astonished to see four male co-workers staring at her.

"Well forgot it? Tonight this Sunday we want to have fun" he replied.

"Eh, so yeah?" Duh, I forgot my cupola."

"Yes, so dong I've booked a ticket. Be careful when it's off. Mubazir will be the ticket."

"Hishihi. Yes, Mas Yuda. Andra was just kidding. Just calm. Two of my friends are waiting too. For a moment, I'll finish my job first. You guys just wait in front!" her door.

Eventually the four men moved into the office lobby. In a hurry, Andra turned off the computer and tidied up her desk. From inside Aydan's room, the man watched him silently. Then he followed Andra as the girl went ahead.

"I'm ready" he said in front of them with a smile.

Although at first he was forced to come, but after thinking about it there was no harm in going to have fun with them to eliminate his disappointment in Aydan. He hopes to get rid of his feelings for the man by trying to find a new heart patch. Moreover, said Widia and Ivane, he will also bring a male office friend also to be more crowded.

"Where are you all going?" sela Aydan suddenly from behind when the group was ready to leave the office. They all look.

"We all want to go nobar, Mas. It's Sunday night. Itung-itung refreshing," replied Yuda.

"Wow, sorry, Mas. This event is special for singles. Who already has a partner please step aside first" licked Anton.

Instantly, Aydan's face turned sour. Including Diandra who slightly resisted his disappointment.

"Who said I have a partner?"refute Aydan.

"Lho, is that the ring? That's an engagement ring, right?" search Yuda.

As it was only realized after a long time with a titanium ring on his ring finger that always made Andra curious, he finally let go of the ring just like that. Put it in your pants pocket. They were all surprised to see it. Including Andra.

"This is not an engagement ring. It's just a regular ring. It means nothing. Just make a collection," said Aydan while glancing at Andra. The girl just fell silent.

"Oohs. Cyrain. If you want, wear a jade ring, Mas. Cooler for guys," Fabian suggested.

"Yes, it's like me, nih" Dika added as she showed a jade ring on her finger.

Aydan just chuckled. "Yes, deh. I'll hunt it."

"Siip. So the group added another one, huh? Is Aydan coming too?" ask Yuda.

"Eh?! Can you?" Aydan became confused himself. Moreover, seeing Andra's reaction was also shocked.

"Yes, I can, Mas. I was just kidding, Mom. Want to have a partner or still single can come along. Maybe the Imam wants to join too?" ask Judah the new Imam from behind.

Everyone looked behind Aydan. There was an Imam who looked astonished to see the crowd of his employees were preparing to leave.

"What the hell, anyway? You guys want a demo, huh?" the Imam was confused.

Pop music from the radio in Aydan's car accompanied Diandra's journey to the Mall. The man next to her hasn't spoken as much since. He hitchhiked with his senior. Though initially wanted to ride on the motorbike Yuda to the cinema. However, Yuda instead suggests riding in a car with Aydan just because he is a girl.

He was forced to accept his proposal. Moreover, Aydan also asked him so. He prefers riding a motorcycle. Memories of riding a motorcycle with Aydan immediately crossed his head now.

"The sports car is still there, Mas?" his chirps broke their silence.

"Oh, it's still home. Now I wear it with my sister. Why?"

"Nothing. Just want her situation. So kangen riding the bike," said Andra finally resisted the longing.

"If the same owner is missing too, right?"

Andra just smiled slightly while throwing her face at the car window. A sudden feeling of happiness was present. Though he did not want to expect much more to his senior, but this situation even made him hope again.

As the car stopped due to the red light, Aydan clasped his hand. Andra. He looked to the side. Aydan was looking at him.

"What are you thinking, anyway?" tanyakanya.

"Think nothing" he replied, pulling his own hand from the grasp.

"Don't lie. Don't you actually think of the ring?" guess it.

"No, really. Why think of the ring. Want that collection ring, cake. An engagement ring or a wedding ring, it's none of my business, Mas" he said.

"Don't really care?" Aydan's eyes looked at him more deeply.

Makes Andra's heart flutter. He swallowed his saliva because his throat felt suddenly dry.

"It's a green light!" he diverted the conversation.

The car drove again. Andra was back in silence, but Aydan kept talking to her.

"Why are you following them all the same? If you want to watch it, say I will."

"Who am I, my boy? Test-ujug period asks to watch Mas Aydan," the pretext of astonishment.

"What was it like before, anyway? We used to love watching movies together, right? I love watching band concerts at the college. I like the Mall together. Like riding a motorbike both keep going to Rawapening Lake. And ... we used to still like each other even though you don't want to say what I am now," he said.

Aydan's words succeeded in making Andra more cornered. All those memories are now open. Their situation is the same as it was a few years ago. Although close, but no clarity of status.

"Don't be the same as you are now, Mas. We were just seniors and juniors. Now we are subordinates and superiors. We have to be professionals, right?" andra's pretext. Aydan was laughing.

"Yes, I know. But now it's not office hours. So I want us to go back like we used to."

"Reverse back to what did it mean?" Andra's forehead frowned.

"You didn't want us to date before, did you? But now you've graduated. There's no more reason. When do you want to keep pretending?"

"I'm the one pretending or Mas Aydan is the one pretending now?" insinuations.

This time it was even Aydan's forehead that was frowning in astonishment. "What am I pretending?"

"Pretend that Mas Aydan is not engaged" replied Andra disappointed.

Aydan is aghast now.

"Ndra, I'm not engaged to anyone. I don't have a partner yet. I'm still alone. I'm still waiting for you until you suddenly come to me alone. I'm happy not to play when I know you work in the office" he said seriously.

"Lied!"

"I'm not lying! Don't you see if my face is this serious?"

Andra observed both of Aydan's eyes which did seem honest, but she still had doubts in her heart.

Until the car reached the Mall and stopped at the parking lot. Aydan was still trying to convince the girl. He clasped his hand again.

"Look at me, Ndra!" her door.

"Already, Mas. Come outside! I've been waiting, no."

An awkward feeling made Andra uncomfortable and wanted to get out of the car immediately, but Aydan still locked the car door.

"No, until you believe."

"Trust what else, anyway? Do you believe that Mas Aydan is not engaged? Though I heard Kalina's name when you received the call," she said.

"Ka-Kalina's? Where did you hear?"

"In the pantry when I want to make coffee. So obviously, if you're lying. She's your fiancee or boyfriend, Mas. I know that too."

The man was flabbergasted. Inadvertence used Andra to unlock the car's central key. He opened the car door and left with annoyance.
