All About Missing
Fear of Longing

***

Ardian lowered his body slowly in front of the sink. The woman then turned to face the mirror. With a half glare he saw something shocking. There were some red marks on his neck. Then he glanced at Ardian through the square mirror. As if he had just been caught making a mistake, Ardian scratched his non-itchy, grinning neck.

"What is this, Ardi?" tanya Rindu cynics.

"That's, that's .. sorry, dear. I'm afraid," he replied feeling guilty, last night Ardian couldn't control himself.

Then miss peeking into his shirt. A little relieved, it's a good thing Ardian didn't do it in that part. He himself wondered why his sleep was not disturbed at all.

"I'm not aware, honey. Maybe it happened while I was sleeping." Ardian gave a reason.

"You're! Where there are sleeping people doing weird." Misses still staring from the mirror reflection. "After this I won't want to stay here anymore," a piercing glare pierced the eyes, the man shuddered in horror.

"I'm sorry, honey. I promise I won't repeat."

"One more thing. Eliminate the call, people will misunderstand if they hear it."

"All right." Ardian's answer was weak.

"Of course, get out there. I'm gonna take a shower!"

"Aren't you angry?"

"Nrwm …." Misses groaning with her sharp eyes.

The man was grinning, all wrong. "OK, Honey. Charm …." Ardian floated a distant kiss through the reflection in the mirror. Then get out of there.

"Armand …!" pekik Rindu. Then shook his head and smiled faintly, without Ardian seeing.

Ardian's bathroom door was closed, he came out of his room. Go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

What actually happened last night was, when Ardian woke up once in the morning. When he saw the face of Miss who fell asleep in his arms, that's when he launched his action. Unknowingly Ardian was tempted to kiss the face, lips and neck of Miss, and when his head was about to swoop into the plump chest of Miss, Ardian was awakened. He quickly ran to the bathroom and flushed his body with cold water.

Ardian stopped cooking while receiving a phone call from his friend.

"You take care of it as you should, it's an easy job. If he dares to spread the bad news, just lay down a lawsuit and ask for damages."

"Should we get him to clarify, boss?"

"Just whatever, if it's necessary, do it. It's Sunday, so let me enjoy my day off."

"Unusually, Boss."

"This time is different. From now on the weekend is my break, don't give me any work."

"Alright, Boss. I'll close it first."

"Eem."

The phone in hand just threw it at the table. Then continue the activities that were delayed earlier.

Miss the newly finished shower head straight to the kitchen. He had been wearing a suit that was sent at Ardian's behest last night. Ardian started a fire and started frying the cow's eye eggs, and Miss looked close to help.

"Is there a problem in the office?" ask Misses as they stand next to each other. He had heard a bit of Ardian's conversation on the phone.

"Only a small matter, not the job of the CEO, they can take care of it."

"Oi …."

Ardian then turned his head and gave a sweet smile to Miss. "Let's wait at the dinner table, breakfast's ready soon."

"Do I want to help you?"

Hindu. "Oo .. fine." He went to the living room, a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

While waiting Miss busy herself with her social media. See if there's anything interesting today. When he stopped in a post, it suddenly made Miss shocked. He read the caption with the video and Ardian went viral.

'Great company CEO cooperates with lover!—Defuse many women for many years. It turned out that this successful man was more interested in cafe singers. Who is that woman?'

Although his face was highlighted not so clear, but some comments mention that he is a singer in the cafe. Most people wonder who the CEO is. Miss checking her DM box. His friends sent messages from. From last night miss turned off all notifications on her phone.

I miss reading the first message from Dian. "Rin, it's you and Ardi isn't it? Have you met? I don't want to miss the news, just tell me?"

Then a message from Dimas. "Rin, when do we get together again. Ardi's met you?"

Now Tia, his office buddy. "Rin, that's you, right, who's the same?"

And there was also a message from Astrid, her longtime rival. "Woi ... Your taste is rich well, arrogant pantesan."

There are many other messages from people who know him. Longing began to fidget, did not want this incident to affect his little daughter Kanaya.

When Ardian looked from afar, it was obvious that Miss's face looked agitated. The man put his food on the table and walked over.

"Rin, what are you thinking?" Ardian frowned, looking at the face that was being bowed at the phone screen, Longing to be silent. "Have you seen it?"

Missed to nod slowly. Ardian took the phone from the woman's hand and placed it on the table. He knelt down then clasped his hands tightly.

"Rin, look at me." Ardian stroked the backs of Miss's hands gently, they looked up.

"What are you worried about?" tanyanya gently.

"Kanaya, Ardi."

"Kanaya? Is that your daughter's name?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why with that little girl? Did something happen?" tanya Ardian and Miss shook their heads.

"My ex-husband once threatened to take Kanaya by force if I .. had a lover."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know. I used to just want to get a divorce with him and he put those conditions in place. Then I'll agree to it."

"Big men! Threatening women. A coward!" Ardian looked very angry. Missing's statement made her even more resentful of the man who had been the woman's ex-husband. The woman he loved so much.

"Then, now what? the video has spread. What if he sees it?" Looks like Miss eyeballs have fogged up, the clear water almost plunged from the fertilizer.

"You don't worry, my man is deleting all posts. I hope he hasn't seen it. If anything happens, I'll protect you."

"Thank you." Beautiful eyes miss looking sayu.

"Don't thank me, I did everything for you, for you guys."

Ardian kissed the back of Miss's hand and gently rubbed the woman's eye patch—his first love.

Longing's life turns out to be heavy, making Ardian desperately want to protect her. The man contacted Spja again and ordered to delete the video. Initially, Ardian did not intend to extend this problem. However, Miss is currently worried about her daughter's safety. Ardian will eventually have to take care of this, and will make sure the same will not happen again.

Not just this. Whatever the circumstances that will endanger Miss and her family. Ardian won't let it. He could not bear to see the woman so scared. He'll make Miss calm first.

Ardian sat beside Miss and hugged her tightly. "Ssttt .. calm down, everything will be fine."
