Late Night Male

Really annoying. Lunar made herself like a beggar, even though she didn't have to do that, she didn't have to make it difficult for herself.

"Besides you, who else can I ask for help? It's just the two of us here. Anyway why don't you want to help me? Do you feel reluctant because our relationship is only as strangers? Can't you help this stranger? Never mind, forget it!"

"Though, my request isn't difficult," Lunar muttered.

After Lunar left, Arkan remained in the locker room. He noticed the open palms, he could still smell the scent of the moisturizer Lunar used.

Not hard? It should be.

But Lunar's scent can make him pound and think back to the incident when they were in the car. He didn't want to linger in front of her to make him lose his mind even more.

Even when he got to the office, Arkan still couldn't get rid of the woman that was wandering in his mind, even when it was getting late. He was still in the office, had no intention of going home and required him to meet Lunar face to face. He wanted to forget the Lunar shadow once and for all first.

"All the work is done. Are... we're not going home?" asked Secretary Ham who still faithfully accompanied him.

"How can I go back if Lunar is still in the apartment?"

Normally Secretary Ham would be the one to remove Arkan's barrier, but this time it couldn't. He couldn't get rid of his own superior's wife, could he?

"I can't do anything to the Lunar mistress, Sir."

Arkan glanced at the secretary. "I didn't ask you to do anything to Lunar either."

Arkan let out a long breath. "What about Raya? I haven't heard from her at all."

Secretary Ham was silent remembering what happened when he got the message to keep an eye on Raya as long as Arkan wasn't there. Honestly without being asked, he has done it all. Not watching anymore, but protecting Raya.

All the occupants of the house were overwhelmed with how to appease Raya's sadness. The tears did not stop until past midnight. He could only wait behind the door until the next morning he could hear Raya calling his name. Yes. He fell asleep outside the door.

"I asked Raya about you. Then, why are you smiling to yourself?"

Secretary Ham's thoughts were immediately shattered. "Very well, Sir. Nothing bad happened to the lady Raya."

Let Arkan be with Lunar there while I will fill the void on Raya's side, thought Secretary Ham.

"You have to keep a good eye on her. Tell me if anything bad happens to her."

"With pleasure, Sir."

He glanced at the clock on the wall of his office, it was almost night. He hasn't spent time with Raya in a long time. Before going home, how about he have dinner with his girlfriend first?

"I want to meet Raya. We'll pick her up to go out for dinner."

The smile that graced Secretary Ham's face instantly faded. Meeting Raya is the same as him who will see the intimacy of the two people. Hurt. Unfortunately, he couldn't refuse the request. Besides that, if Raya meets Arkan, at least Raya's sadness will be less.

"I will prepare the car," said Secretary Ham.

Together with the lover he picked up, Arkan headed for a restaurant that had become his regular place when he went with Raya. That place has sweet memories of their relationship, it was also where Arkan expressed his feelings.

"We always make memories in this place."

The smiling face changed at that moment. Raya daydreams about how Arkan always makes the restaurant their date spot. They never mind the same date place every time, because the most important thing is being together.

"Coming here makes me remember the times we spent together," said Raya.

"Me too. It's all so beautiful."

After spending dinner with the lovers' warm conversation, they returned home with Arkan who accompanied his girlfriend first. The meeting time was very short, unlike before where they could meet face to face longer. Morning, noon, even night. Now they only steal time for meetings.

Before getting out of the car, Raya stopped briefly so she could look back afterwards. She hugged Arkan tightly, expressing how longing she would be as long as they didn't meet. Likewise with Arkan who returned the hug with the same thing.

Raya let go of the hug slowly without distancing herself completely. Every time she looked at her lover's two eyeballs made her feelings soar. She touched her fingers to Arkan's lips.

Arkan who touched made him surprised. His chest churned, but hoped that a kiss wouldn't happen between them.

"Come into the house before it gets too late."

Raya moved her hands away with the hug that was still faithfully wrapped around her lover's waist. She had forgotten that Arkan was no longer living with her. Now it's too late to still continue dating. They had been gone too long and Arkan also had to go home to be able to rest soon.

"Sweet dreams, Arkan. I love you."

Arkin smiled. "Sweet dreams, Raya. I love you too."

While Secretary Ham who deliberately waited outside the car so as not to be hurt by the intimacy of the two couples, immediately sat in the driver's seat when Raya said goodbye. From the center mirror, he glanced at the dreamy Arkan, looking like he was thinking about something heavy.

"Sir, do we go straight to the apartment?"

"Yes." Arkan suddenly remembered something and made him immediately said, "No. Previously, we would stop at a nearby restaurant to buy a portion of food."

***

Lunar laughed out loud while eating who knows how many snacks. She cried before laughing again at what she was watching, like that over and over until she didn't realize it was already two o'clock in the evening.

She put down the snacks and pillows that had been on her thighs before, then turned her attention to something else for a moment. Where did Arkan actually go so late he hasn't come home yet? Is he stay at home with Raya? But he should have been told something like that beforehand so she wouldn't wait.

She grabbed the cell phone that was placed on the table, looking for Arkan's contacts. Before calling, she remembered the saying that was only allowed to call for important matters. Is making sure if Arkan comes home or not something that can be considered important?

At the time of thinking to contact Secretary Ham, at that time the sound of the door was heard. Lunar shifted to the side so she could see who was coming from the couch she was sitting on.

"I thought you weren't coming home."

Arkan handed over the food that was brought. "Eat before it gets colder."

Lunar was amazed after sniffing the smell from what was already in hand. "You really care. I already had dinner, but still have room for this." She grinned broadly.

"Dinner?"

Lunar nodded her head. "It's a pity that I who have a rich husband have to eat dinner with snacks."

"Stop talking and just finish your food." Arkan said, going to his room.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course to my room. Where else to go?"

Lunar also rushed up the stairs. She didn't stop to get in the way by reaching the bedroom door first. Immediately, she sat on the floor and began to open the food that was given.

Arkan put both hands on the waist. "This apartment already has a luxurious dining room facility, so why did you choose to eat on the floor?"

"I did it on purpose so you can't enter my room. Just watch out if you try to enter the room, I will choke on the food you give me."

"What? You guarded the door so I wouldn't go into my own room?"

Arkan was ignored at all and it annoyed him. However, in the end they chose to remain silent because no matter how they spoke it seemed that the woman who was busy eating the food would pretend to be deaf.

"Did you come home late because you met Raya?
