Room 14's
Chapter 11

Diana stared around the waiting room of the mayor's house, with a marble wall of gold with several paintings hanging from it. Diana glanced at Eddie, who was sitting quietly staring at the laptop, and quickly turned her gaze toward the door when she heard footsteps approaching.

Then from behind the door appeared a figure of a man who was able to make Diana freeze for a moment, Erlangga walked full of dignity towards Diana, uh, towards the waiting room.

"Welcome to our residence, Mr. Edgard and.. " Erlangga turned to Diana for a moment, her forehead folded, that face looked familiar.

"Diana, "diana said with a wry smile, her heart was slightly pinched, it turned out that the man did not remember her at all, at least Diana had once been on the top of the list of girls chasing Erlangga, but it turned out that the man did not even remember her name in the slightest.

"oh, okay, Diana welcome, " continued Erlangga with a smile that is still charming.

Ah, that smile was once Diana's dream.

Then Erlangga sat on a single sofa right in front of Diana, he rolled up a little sleeve of his shirt, showing the veins of his hand.

"i am here representing my father who is away on business, he asked about the project to be run next month, "

Diana was still glued to the handsome face as her voice grew resolute in Diana's sense of hearing.

"The project was cancelled."that Eddie sir was brief.

"who decided to cancel? is it my father? " ask Erlangga still smiling, she turned her head back to look at Diana. Oh, true. She now remembered who the woman was, the corner of her lips slightly raised, Diana, the woman who had chased after her with her painstaking efforts.

Diana only looked down when the eagle's eyes glanced at her, if only the man was single it felt like Diana wanted to go back to chasing him unconsciously.

"I canceled myself, "

"why? don't you know what the consequences of cancelling the project are? " Erlangga stared intently at Mr. Eddie with warning.

Mr. Eddie was silent for quite a while before finally nodding.

Diana stared at the moon hanging beautifully in the sky, Diana's favorite half-circle moon, she wasn't perfect but Diana liked it. The conversation in the mayor's waiting room between Mr. Eddie and Erlangga ended just like that after the mayor's son threw a threat question.Sort of dangerous questions that we already know the answer, the answer is, like a question that doesn't need an answer at all, because the answer was known long before that. Tonight said Mr. Eddie they will stay here, because there were still some things he had to discuss with the mayor's son.

Diana could feel the tension that was going on between the vice head of the lab and Erlangga. Mr. Eddie who seemed to hold back anger, while Erlangga emphasized every speech without being able to do rejection.

What project is Eddie's and the mayor working on? was prof. Adams was involved? then why would Eddie prefer to stop him? Ah, there's a lot of secrets in Buana's lab.

"Sorry to interrupt, miss. Mr. Erlangga invites you to have tea together in the back yard, " said a maid who was only about twenty-four years old.

"oh, well.thank you, "Diana was surprised to be happy too. Does that mean Diana is one step ahead of Feby? His lips lifted up, impatiently wanted to tell his best friend, he immediately imagined how irate his best friend would be.

"let me take you, miss, "The servant led Diana to the backyard of the mansion.

Diana followed, The house is really spacious, to go to the backyard they have to pass the path decorated with flowers around it.

On arrival in the back yard, Diana could see Erlangga sitting with a woman. Diana's legs stopped, what was his wife? The woman's back Diana had seen it. But, where? by when?

"thank you for inviting me, Mr. Erlangga, "Diana is a bit of a formal bow.

"no need to be too formal Diana, we used to be a university, right?" ask Erlangga to make sure.

Diana nodded slowly. He remembered it, a red hue rose on both sides of his cheeks.

" This is my wife, Lorena, "

then with no heart the man introduced his wife to Diana. Wait? who was? The lorena? was her name the same or was it the Lorena Diana had known?

"Hi, I'm Lorena, "That voice is Lorena's voice. However, there are different, the sound is the same but also different. The voice was cold and somewhat taut while the Lorena he had met had always been soft and friendly.

It was doubtful Diana raised her head. And how surprised Diana was when the face was indeed the face of Lorena he had seen, a beautiful face that looked charming with a thin makeup polish. Today her face was not pale at all. So Lorena was Erlangga's wife? then what was he doing in Buana's dormitory? was he a chef there?

"Lorena?! " squeer Diana was unconscious.

"yes? have we met before? " tanya Lorena frowned, trying to remember.

"no. "sohut Diana was quick. somehow Diana was reluctant to tell that they had indeed met. but saw the woman as if she did not recognize him Diana chose not to tell.

"her name is Diana, dear.a great researcher in Buana lab, " said Erlangga "please sit down, Diana, "

Diana sat awkwardly beside Lorena, "thank you for inviting me"

"of course. Erlangga often talked about you some time ago, he said you used to be an energetic and courageous girl. " Said Lorena as she poured the tea into the porcelain cup.The movements were graceful and careful.

"ah, that, I was too young back then. oh yes, I also wanted to apologize to you, Erlan, "although it was quite embarrassing for Diana to dare to say those words, too, also call the name Erlangga boldly enough.just say Diana has gone mad.

"it's okay. Actually, I used to think of you as a friend." Erlangga smiled widely and continued "I'm also sorry I didn't recognize you, but after a while I immediately remembered you. "

Diana glanced at Lorena, afraid that the woman was jealous and did something no-no. However, Lorena looked relaxed, not bothered at all . Lorena had even finished pouring tea.

"please, "Lorena gave one cup to Diana, then also to Erlangga.

Actually considering the last time how the food given by Lorena turned into maggots, Diana did not want to receive any more food and drink from her.

Diana felt that the Lorena she was meeting with now was somewhat different from the Lorena she was yesterday. Is it possible because since the woman already knew that Diana had liked her husband so much that her attitude changed a little? it's too good that Diana doesn't understand here, exactly since moving to Buana's lab.

Seriate....
