IDFYL 21 : Following Ardian

"Karin!! Hey, are you still mad at me?" Asked Dinda with a slightly out of breath.

Karina who was about to follow Ardian's footsteps turned to Dinda. And the woman snorted when she saw Dinda standing nearby.

"You're still asking about it? Think for yourself!!" Karina said annoyed. Then she walked a little faster.

Dinda of course followed Karina who walked faster.

"I'm sorry. It's all your fault. If you don't drink and get drunk, then last night I slept well at eight o'clock at night. And you won't meet Aris yourself either." Said Dinda who did not accept that she was blamed.

"Still it's your fault, Dinda. You can hire a driver. You don't have to call Aris. Or you can also ask Akbar for help."

Hearing that sentence, of course Dinda pouted. "Are you crazy? How can I ask Akbar for help about you being drunk? All our friends don't know if you like to drink and get drunk. Only me and Aris know about it. You said it was better to hire a driver? You think in this city the same like Korea huh? There's no such kind of chauffeur service here. There are only taxis and I don't want to put in a lot of effort to guide your heavy body!" Dinda said annoyed.

"Never mind, I don't want to talk about it with you anymore." Karina said who stopped her footsteps beside her car.

Dinda looked at Karina annoyed. "At least you're thanking me, not blaming me like that. You know? Your attitude has changed over the past few days. Then don't take me out in the car with you again."

Meanwhile Karina was silent. She refused to reply to her words.

And Dinda continued to walk towards Akbar's car. Dinda is now angry with Karina. Maybe over the next few days, Dinda will leave and come home from work with Akbar alone.

Knowing that Dinda was angry, actually Karina was contemplating Dinda's words. Has she been so selfish?

Then Karina took a deep breath. She slightly regretted her actions and words to Dinda. She should be thanking her best friend. But she herself got angry and now they were fighting.

"Ah, I don't know why I am like this. But now I feel not okay. I'm sorry, Dinda." Karina said alone.

Then the woman started the engine of her car. And Karina really followed what her heart said.

Karina followed Ardian's motorbike where he went. The woman really followed Ardian. Is this wrong? Karina just wanted to know where Ardian had gone and who he was setting up an appointment with.

*****

How frustrated Karina is right now. She had been in her car for about forty minutes and didn't come out.

It was the umpteenth time she took a deep breath and exhaled again and again.

Now Karina is on the side of the road not far from Ardian's house. The woman cursed herself. Why did she follow Ardian who turned out to be returning to his own house?

But Karina was reluctant to go home. She would wait for Ardian to come out and she would follow Ardian again if the man really went to see someone.

Now Karina can only be silent and occasionally play with her cellphone. She was in her own car. And she parked her car on the side of the road which is ten meters from Ardian's house.

It's half past one this afternoon. And Karina was actually really hungry. But she was very persistent in waiting for Ardian to come out and follow the man.

Sure enough, at one o'clock in the afternoon Ardian left his house.

Karina moved her car a little and now her position is only five meters from Ardian's house.

It was clear that Ardian had just come out of the main door of his house. The man was dressed casually and fresh. Ardian's appearance this afternoon was very neat. And Karina clearly saw that Ardian was carrying a paper bag in his right hand.

Then the man got into the car. Karina also immediately started the car engine.

Karina's heart asked, why did Ardian look so neat? And what does it bring? Is there food in the paper bag? For who?

It was enough that Karina was tired of wondering in her own mind. The woman also immediately started her car, just as Ardian's car was already moving at a moderate speed.

The journey to follow Ardian was only about twenty minutes. Karina frowned. Why is Ardian now in an elite housing complex?

Karina stopped her car within ten meters of Ardian's car which stopped in front of a house.

Karina kept an eye on the man. She also turned off her car engine and waited for Ardian to meet the owner of the house.

The house, painted in white and light beige, looks luxurious. With a rather high iron fence in black. Ardian was seen still pressing the bell button so that the people he met immediately opened the gate for him.

About two minutes later, finally someone who Ardian met came out wearing a sleeping pajama set.

Karina was stunned when she saw who Ardian was meeting at this time. It turned out that Ardian had an appointment to go to a girl's house. And who is that girl? That girl is Nadira.

Karina looked with those two faces.

Ardian smiled and was very happy when he saw Nadira's face in front of him.

Meanwhile, Nadira smiled shyly as she accepted a paper bag containing food brought by Ardian. The two of them seemed to be chatting for a while and laughing together. Karina couldn't help but stare at such a sight in her eyes.

Until finally Nadira was seen inviting Ardian to enter her house.

And Karina was very upset with what she saw now. This afternoon was the worst day for her. Is Ardian really that close to Nadira? Karina was very upset. Why should the new employee be close to Ardian?

"Why is it when I'm liking you like this that you're actually liking someone else, Ardian? Is it karma for me to have rejected you rudely?" Karina asked herself.

Then the woman chose to leave immediately. She would not wait for Ardian to come out of the girl's house. They both must be cool in there. And it was very painful for Karina.
