Still Miss You

Aksa was still sitting dumbfounded at the restaurant table when Daniel approached. Actually, Daniel came into the restaurant just watched their meeting. However, Daniel only saw Aksa who was sitting alone and he didn't see Hana.

So, Daniel walking to his table and saw Aksa looked sadly.

"Aksa, what are you doing here? Where's Hana? Why are you sitting here alone?" Daniel asked.

"She didn't come," Aksa answered, wearily.

"But on this table – who's ate paste here?" Daniel asked.

"She is Hana's manager."

"W-who? Hana's manager?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah."

"What did she say? Don't tell me if that girl with shoulder-length hair and wearing a black dress earlier is Hana's manager?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah."

"Yes, the woman with shoulder-length hair and wearing a black dress earlier is the manager."

"Hmmm … I've met her on the set location first.

"You've met her?" Aksa asked Daniel.

"Yes, when we first came to the set. I met her."

Aksa then seemed to be thinking about something.

"What happened. Did she say anything about Hana?" Daniel became curious.

"I don't know, I don't think I understand what that means. It's just that it seems that Hana intends to avoid it until now."

"That means my vacation gift failed." Daniel becomes melancholic. He had already made a list of things he wanted to do for a week.

"Sorry for canceling. And I wanted to give you a new assignment instead."

Aksa then got up from his seat and walked away from the restaurant with all kinds of feelings and thoughts. And Daniel hastily followed after he had previously paid for all the food and drinks earlier.

In the car, Aksa looked pensive as if he was meditating for an idea. Daniel didn't want to disturb Aksa's mellow mood. Without saying much, he ordered the driver to immediately go back to the hotel they were staying at.

Arriving at the door of the hotel, Aksa looked at Daniel'face, who was also daydreaming because he had failed his vacation.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Daniel in surprise.

"Would you like to accompany me in the room tonight?" asked Aksa.

"What. Y-you...don't tell me you've changed your mind, sir?" asked Daniel, crossing his arms in front of him as if protecting himself from a hungry wolf. He was afraid because of Hana's refusal, Aksa's mind started to wander.

"What do you think Daniel?" asked Aksa slightly glaring at Daniel's exaggerated behavior.

"Why should I accompany you to sleep?" asked Daniel, stuttering a little scared and worried about Aksa's mental condition, which Daniel seemed to be unstable

"Don't be weird, I'm just asking you to join me in a chat because I definitely can't sleep. And I can't at least when I can't sleep alone. And . . . gosh... what did you say? Change. I still normal and even if I have to, I'm a picky person, it can't be you." Aksa scoffed at being misunderstood by Daniel.

"I'd be worried if you were...."

"I'm not in depression, Niel. I still like the two circles and one triangle. And please just find me sleeping pills if you don't want to accompany me." Aksa then opened the door to his room and closed it with a loud slam.

"Gosh, he's mad. And what was a circle, a triangle? What the hell. Is he now obsessed with Mathematical Geometry?" said Daniel innocently who didn't know what circles and triangles were.

Irene looked at Hana's face who was waiting for an explanation and story after meeting Aksa earlier.

"Are you curious? You look restless?" said Irene with a cold look.

"Hurry up, Sis. What did he say?" asked Hana curiously.

"He didn't say anything. But he looked disappointed."

"Don't worry, he won't show up again and bother you."

"Is it true?" Hana looked sad instead of calm about hearing the news.

"Are you sad?"

"Ah no, Sis. I'm calm because he won't appear again when I shoot. And it seems he doesn't want to see me either. He just wants to meet his ex-girlfriend."

"Never mind. Focus on the film! If you want to prove something to Aksa, Arabella and Sarah. Fight!"

Hana nodded and smiled even though her smile was only returned by Irene's cold gaze.

"Oh yes, Sis. You know a lot about me. But I don't know much about you. And never tell. Even though we've lived together for years."

"Nothing is interesting to tell. I actually have a bitter and bad story. If you tell it, it will only add to the dark atmosphere in this house. I want to sleep first." Irene then got up from the sofa and headed to her room.

Hana just looked curiously at Irene's back who was walked to his room. He wanted to know a lot, why Irene's face always looked cold and expressionless. Does she have no emotions in her heart? Normally, people have several emotions; happy, sad, angry, afraid, anxious, and so on. But so far, Hana has only seen two emotional expressions on Irene's face. That is a cold and flat expression.

Irene never told who and where she was. And as far as Hana is concerned, Irene is only Rika's assistant who is assigned to look after and accompany her.

And Hana feels lucky because Irene helps her a lot. Became an English and Mandarin tutor, taught her a little about fashion. Even taught her to drive a car. Diamond's many skills make Hana think that Irene is not an ordinary person.

Because it can be seen from Irene's appearance and lifestyle, Hana thinks that she is a descendant of a conglomerate. Irene even saw Irene's collection of clothes and bags, which Hana knew of were branded items. Sometimes Hana wonders whether Rika's mother pays Irene how much so that Irene has expensive things like that.

But whenever he wants to know about many things Irene, is always good at diverting the conversation. And Hana sometimes stops herself from being curious because the most important thing for her now is that there is Diamond who is always loyal at all times to guard and protect her.

Although sad because apparently, Aksa will not appear again, Hana must refocus on her goal of becoming an actress.

Actually, she also wanted to meet Aksa, but her heart was afraid to waver again and it would make her feelings blossom again. And it will bother her when she wants to make her life better.

It was night and Hana couldn't sleep, she kept thinking about Aksa. A melody of longing flowed gently in his heart. Hana slowly saved it in the longing piggy bank that she had prepared. One day he was sure he would solve it together later with Aksa.
