Vivi only wanted one thing in this world— a simple and ordinary relationship. From meeting for the first time and falling in love, to owning a simple house that could be their shelter. After that, her little family would be blessed with a beautiful and innocent girl. Together, the three of them would seek happiness in this beautiful world.
Vivi felt that her current lover was the right person for her. The man made her heart yearn for him.
Lilia smiled when she saw Vivi's melancholy gaze, the look in her friend's eyes really showed what's inside her heart. For Lilia, Vivi had finally found the right person to be her life partner and spend her life together.
Indeed, a long distance relationship like Vivi was quite painful but wasn't her lover fighting hard for her? Maybe he accepted the job in order to raise money so that their life would be much better later.
However, Lilia didn't say those words which might make Vivi even more hesitant. She could only hold tight to her friend's hand and utter the most sincere words of encouragement.
After arriving in front of the Plaza Building, this heavy chat was finally over and they discussed another joyful topic.
When they had just entered the building, Rachel suddenly got out of the elevator in front of them.
They chose to meet in the building because they wanted to chat in a cool place and exchange news after a long absence.
Standing in the lobby, Lilia watched Rachel walk with her hair back in a ponytail while wearing a suit wrapped in a black skirt. When she looked at her friend's face, she realized that she had light makeup with a sharp gaze.
Rachel was different from her old self!
Why did her two friends seem to have changed during her absence?
Rachel looked around and finally found Lilia and Vivi. While walking briskly, she called in an excited tone, "Lilia, Vivi!"
Her embrace was warm and excited. After Rachel let go of her hug, she looked at Lilia and then said in a joking tone, "I thought you forgot both of us! Fortunately you still want to be friends with us! I really miss you,"
"Sorry, I've been busy lately. How about we sit down at the cafe first and have a chat more? Take it easy, I will pay for it and consider this as my apology to you for not giving news," Lilia looked at her watch and it happened that it was still lunch time. Even though she had lunch earlier, her friends might haven't eaten so she took the initiative to invite them both.
Rachel took out her cellphone and was silent for a moment before finally nodding her head. "Alright then, we accept your apology! What if we find a cafe? I heard that the cafe over there is really comfy!"
After they sat down at the cafe, Lilia and Rachel listened to Vivi's interesting story about her and her boyfriend. In the middle of the story, Lilia and Rachel never stopped teasing Vivi.
This long-term friendship came back to life after a long time, the three couldn't wait to share all their stories one by one.
Since their friendship was quite close, they didn't mind telling stories about their bad or good experiences. There were no secrets between them!
Therefore, Vivi talked for almost ten full minutes. Every word she said was about her new boyfriend.
Lilia was really happy for her, nothing was more joyous than seeing a happy friend. Vivi then casually looked at Rachel who was beside her. Seeing her friend's jealous eyes, Vivi could not help but ask. "Rachel, how about you? Is there a man that catches your attention?"
Rachel was quite offended by Vivi's question. She then replied in a slightly annoyed tone, "Me? How could I have thought about the man in my life now? My job really drains all of my energy all the time."
Even though she answered with a sour face and an indifferent expression, her heart actually ached.
Rachel's heart was completely engulfed in flames, she wanted to get rid of this feeling that kept tormenting her. But this feeling refused to leave her. The more she ran away, the more pain she felt.
There was only one face that always crossed her mind— Alan Hartanto!
She did not know when she developed these feelings. What this woman might not have realized was that after each day following Alan whenever the man went, the feeling grew naturally.
Rachel was acutely aware that she didn't deserve to stand next to Alan, but she couldn't control herself and ended up falling for him.
The woman didn't dare to express her thoughts to Lilia and Vivi. Even she herself was confused about what to do with her feelings, therefore she chose to bury this love deep down in her heart.
...…
After 2 hours of talking, the three friends finally separated. Rachel stood in front of the Plaza Building as she watched her two friends leave.
Since it was late afternoon, a cold wind began to blow lightly. She was wearing a skirt, so the wind was making Rachel quite cold. But this cold wind made her realize that her love for Alan had reached an uncontrollable level.
"Stupid, why do you think you have a chance with him?"
When a superior and handsome man like Alan suddenly appeared in her dark life, Rachel could not help but be attracted by the warm glow that Alan had.
Knowing that her love could not possibly come true, Rachel continued to cry in her heart. But alas, love hurt sometimes.
She was just an employee and Alan was her boss.
Whenever she met him at work, Rachel always deliberately passed Alan's office even though there was no reason for her to do it.
Rachel was still wishing in her heart. If the man was sick, could she treat him and gave him a kiss on the forehead so that he could fall asleep soundly? Could she stand by his side and give him her support while Alan was working?
Maybe she already understood that the figure of this man had stuck in her heart since the first time followed him.
Rachel then walked towards the elevator with a pretty bad mood, she waited for the elevator to come with a bowed face. When she stepped inside, she accidentally bumped into someone.
One thing that immediately filled her mind was the scent she inhaled, somehow she felt this scent very familiar.
The fragrance of this perfume was not strong but brought a fresh sensation and warmed her heart.
When Rachel lifted her face apologetically, she was surprised to see Alan's displeased gaze.
Seeing the face of the man she loved, Rachel lost her words and made herself look like an idiot.
"Why are you stunned like that?" Alan watched Rachel as she was silent and gawking. His face, which was initially unhappy, looked even more sour.
Then, Rachel bowed awkwardly to him.
When the elevator doors closed, only the two of them were left facing each other.
