Chương 12: Dinner
Slightly curly black hair swayed back as he happily stepped into the restaurant on the hill; the beautiful scenery made Abel feel very fresh because he could get out of the crowded capital city.
On the other hand, Alex, who saw Abel's joy, Abel satisfied himself as if something had paid for seeing his big smile.
"For how many, sir?" a waiter approached them in a friendly manner.
"Two people," Alex replied.
Even though his face was still bruised, Alex was excited to have dinner with Abel.
Two chairs that are deliberately set leading to the tea garden are ready. Abel sat down and took out his cell phone to picture the scene.
Not long after a waiter delivered a menu book, Alex immediately ordered all the food on the menu.
"All I ordered, thank you," said Alex.
"Are you happy?" asked Alex, whose presence seemed to have been ignored by Abel because he was busy taking pictures of all the sights.
Abel turned his head and looked at Alex's eyes that sparkled with sincerity when he asked how he was feeling; his eyes seemed to indicate that he was honest in doing this for him.
Abel's heart pounded. Who is not tempted by this handsome man in front of him? His sharp nose, thick eyebrows, and kindness made any woman's heart would be shaken.
Abel smiled as if his smile was the answer to the pleasure within him.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Abel asked, starting a serious conversation by looking back into his boss's eyes.
Alex immediately lowered his head like he was planning the words he wanted to say until tears finally fell down his right cheek.
With a confused face, Abel tried to calm the man in front of him; he didn't expect Alex to cry in front of his secretary. Is this what makes Natasya know all about Alex?
After a few minutes, only the sound of small sobs came from Alex. In Abel's mind, he was wondering what had happened to his boss. Family? Romance? Or did he already know about Abel?
"I beg your pardon, sir. If I may know, what is it? I'm ready to listen if you want to talk to me."
The chandelier emitting light directly above the two of them moved as the wind blew toward them. The scent of the leaves blends with the dew, making anyone relaxed to smell it.
"What happened this afternoon? I hope it takes into consideration for you to stay close to Airlangga," Alex said directly to the point he had wanted to feel for a long time.
Abel blinked in disbelief upon hearing Alex's honest words in front of him; suddenly, he put down his cell phone and looked deeper into his boss. That gaze was full of meaning that Abel agreed to the ban from the first time Alex told him.
"Okay, sir. But if I may ask deeper…, ah, no, sir," said Abel, pulling the questions arranged in his head.
"Here's the order, sir," said a waiter with a food trolley carrying almost all the menus in this restaurant.
Abel's eyes widened when he saw three waiters having difficulty putting all the food Alex ordered on their table.
"All menus are ready to be served, sir. Enjoy."
Alex was still waiting for the woman in front of him to eat his food first with a cold face, but there was a sweet smile without temptation.
"Why only silence? What are you doing?"
Abel immediately took the spaghetti bolognese right in front of him, not forgetting that he also served his boss a small plate that Abel had prepared.
"I have endured this sadness a lot, it feels like I want to avenge all of them, but I feel too sorry for them," said Alex making Abel stop his activities.
It seems that this is the first time Alex has expressed his sadness to others after he has kept it to himself for so long.
Abel's right hand immediately gave a warm, compassionate touch even though he didn't know what had happened to his boss.
"Sorry if I'm presumptuous to ask, what happened between you and Pak Airlangga?" asked Abel.
Alex immediately explained all the events that happened this afternoon, which surprised Abel.
"Did this all happen because of me?"

Airlangga had just arrived at the office at night; the quiet atmosphere of the office made his plans even smoother because today, there were no employees who worked overtime.
Airlangga sneaks into Alex's room, looking for an important document related to the company's cooperation with Dubai that Alex will bring for his business trip.
His hands were busy opening all the files on Alex's computer, but it had been almost half an hour since he couldn't find anything.
"Unlucky! Where did he put the agreement file?" Airlangga mumbled while clenching his fists.
Airlangga was wearing an office boy shirt that he deliberately took from the pantry room to make his disguise smoother when CCTV caught his movements.
"Finally found this file!" Airlangga said and immediately took the flash he had brought with him to put the file he was looking for.
After Airlangga's search was found immediately rushed out carrying his backpack; he crept so that security would not suspect him.

"So the sadness that I have been hiding for so long feels like I can't contain it anymore, especially with my mother and Airlangga," explained Alex.
Abel's eyes are still looking at his boss, trying to listen enthusiastically to every story that comes out of Alex's mouth; he doesn't want to lose this precious moment because he can hear Alex's heart. There are so many things he doesn't know about the man Abel has loved since high school.
After the story was over, the two of them immediately rushed back to the capital, the night was getting colder, and Abel had to clasp his hands together for warmth.
"This is wearing it," said Alex as his hand opened the coat he had been wearing since morning.
Abel refused by shaking his head because of the bad feeling in his heart, even though his body desperately needed the suit.
Without Abel's approval, Alex immediately put his coat on Abel's shoulder. Abel immediately felt like a hole in his heart had been filled again with Alex's sweet treatment. His love gets hotter and wants to be conveyed to the owner of this heart, but what can be done to disguise it still has to be done.
Alex opened the car door for Abel to get in immediately because the rain of fog seemed to be about to fall.
"Please come in, Gabriella," said Alex, his soft voice able to penetrate Abel's heart.
While on a trip with light rain and fog covering the streets, Abel was confused because he had left something in the office.
"Sir, sorry. Can you take me to the office because I left something behind?" please, Abel.
