The clock on the wall showed four in the afternoon. Aini, who was sleeping on the couch in Lia's house, woke up when she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. His still blurry eyes couldn't catch who was coming, but he was very sure that this person was Lia herself. The girl who had just arrived lay down on the floor, right beside Aini and took a deep breath like she had just had a long day. Though, he was only outside for a few hours. Aini, who was starting to realize, looked at her best friend with squinted eyes, not because she was thinking but because her eyes still couldn't open completely. The sleepiness inside him didn't go away, so he couldn't really look at Lia. His friend seemed to be aware because he raised his head, also looked at Aini who was still lying on the couch. A smile appeared on Lia's lips when she saw Aini who was so calm. “Already up?” she asked. His hand rubbed Aini's head by itself, making the child smile broadly. “Where do you want to have dinne
“Have you got a drink?” Hearing the sound of the door opening and then closing, Lia looked up from the cellphone she was playing with. When he looked at Aini, his eyes widened. It's hard for Aini to give a smile to her best friend, knowing that she really doesn't want to see her sad again. Lia herself did not know what to say. The fake expression he was showing, he couldn't just let it go. He felt like he wanted to ask what happened to Aini, but just from that expression, it was certain that Aini didn't want to talk about it. With that, Lia decided to smile and pretend. Surely Aini doesn't want to bother Lia, that's why she is acting like now. While watching Aini put down her groceries, Lia swallowed the pain for herself and gave the latest information to Arjuna. According to Lia, the man deserved to hear this. He himself said that he wanted to protect Aini, so he had to know what happened to that girl. While occasionally glancing at Aini, Lia sent messages carefully, not wanting he
“Just like this.” Lia, who was helping Aini, looked at her best friend. Because of orders from Leo, he wanted Aini to dress up more for lunch that day. The girl didn't know where she would be invited to have lunch, but she would rather not create a commotion between the two of them. “Is that enough?” Now trying to be certain, staring at his reflection from the glass in Lia's house. "Yes, believe me. Besides, why do you have to listen to Leo? It's obvious that he did it purposely to say that he is more powerful.”Without being told, Aini already knew. Even he was fully aware of Leo's intentions. Even so, to reject what the man said was not as easy as he expected. Indeed, position is not everything for Aini, but Leo's position is even related to his father. He will find another way that won't hurt both parties, plus he can get freedom. Imagining it all is what keeps Aini excited to continue her life. Before he left, he had to escape from this bondage first. Lia, who realized Aini's e
“Lia, I'll go first, okay?” Aini, who was ready, put on her apprentice clothes and the bag slung over her shoulder, said goodbye to her best friend. Lia who was getting ready, nodded her head. “Be careful on the road, if there is anything directly tell me!” replied Lia who had difficulty wearing her clothes. Aini only replied with a nod of her head, as if she wanted to say that she understood the situation. If possible, Aini will stop by Dave's house tonight to pick up his things, he can't keep borrowing Lia's while living with him. Even so, if that was completely impossible, Aini decided to go shopping, not wanting to continue to bother her best friend. During her stay these two nights, Aini still felt like a burden. Being on his way to his office only makes Aini's mind roam everywhere. There were so many things he was thinking about at one time that his head hurt. He hasn't told his friend about yesterday's incident, it is not his intention to make him worry about the problems th
Aini's legs continued to twitch unsteadily. He looked around with a sense of fear, while his eyes kept looking around. Now he is sitting with Leo. For the opportunity given by Dave, Aini will accompany him that morning to meet the client's wife. Just waiting for the woman to come only makes Aini feel like her heart will be improper. Of course, Leo was fully aware of Aini who kept moving her legs because she felt uncomfortable. Leo's feeling of dissatisfaction made him stop Ain many times, only to find her repeating the same thing over and over again. Because of that, Leo finally let Ain be like that, slightly threatening him to act sweet when he was in front of his client's wife. Hearing this threat made Aini silent, she had absolutely no intention of damaging her image. “There he is.” Leo, who saw a woman, looking so elegant when walking, immediately stood up and pulled Aini with him, so he would stand up too. “What should I talk about?” asked Aini who whispered to Leo, feeling a
I don't know how many hours Aini has been waiting for Leo. This isn't the first time he's been late when he said he wanted to meet. This made Aini feel frustrated, but she tried to hold it in. Leo has important activities, considering his family must have forced him to learn about the company faster. As long as Aini meets Leo recently, he will surely continue to complain about how tired he is of being forced to study and only study, reducing his time to be with Aini. The girl who is so innocent and kind-hearted certainly doesn't see anything out of the ordinary, so she continues to accept all these complaints, even though at the same time she also wants to complain about something. He always kept the bitterness in his heart silent, he swallowed it himself and received all the complaints from Leo too. Perhaps, people would say that Aini was too stupid to be taken advantage of by Leo, but Aini felt that there were times when people were like that too. Aini is also often like that with
Being in Dave's car made the atmosphere feel very awkward. In fact, usually Dave always joked when they were driving alone, but this time both of them just kept quiet. After Aini finished meeting with Clarity, Dave immediately called her and said to come to the house, take her things. At first, Aini did not understand what the man meant, but finally Aini understood what he meant. Who knows how long, Aini will continue to live with Lia. That way, she had to have her clothes and belongings left in Dave's apartment. Aini wasn't ready to go there or see what was inside, it's just that she couldn't refuse the offer. If he did, he might not get another chance like this. Therefore, even though the feelings inside his heart told him not to do it, he ended up doing it anyway. The journey wasn't that far, but the awkwardness between them made it all the more awkward. Every time Aini wanted to say something, she immediately discouraged it. The same goes for Dave, every time he opens his mouth
“Today, everything I treat!” shouted Lia who was holding a glass of cold juice. The smile on his lips was so wide that it felt a little creepy. “Don't eat too much, you'll get a stomach ache,” warned Aini who saw Lia's orders that had piled up. "Why? Tonight we eat all you can eat, all you can eat! As… a sign of Aini's struggle against men who like to cheat!”Lia's style of talking like a drunken person made Aini chuckle. It's true, when Aini almost melted away last night from Dave, suddenly Lia came and knocked on Dave's car window. Of course, the sound that sounded loud in the car managed to surprise them both. Knowing that Dave couldn't do anything, he immediately opened the lock and let Aini out. The expression of annoyance and anger was clearly printed when Aini walked out and took her suitcase. Initially, Dave wanted to help, but was immediately stopped by Lia. "What do you want? Help? You don't have to pretend to be a hero, I'm disgusted by that!” Lia exclaimed plainly. Lia'
“Turn off your cellphone first,” said Marissa in a very sweet tone, she even rubbed Dave's shoulder, who was still standing beside her. What Marissa said made him frown, he also bit his lower lip as he hesitated in making this decision. What if someone looks for her while she's turned off her phone? "Why? Don't want to do it? Well, if you don't want, that's fine too. We can talk about it some other time, right?”Dave originally wanted to agree with that saying, he even felt it was the correct choice. “Then, we can meet….”“Ah, too bad you would rather not hear this. In fact, I think this info is really missed. If you're left for just one day… hm, I doubt that, Aini will be fine.” Of course, Marissa said it all to make Dave worry again. Without saying anything, Dave finally took out his cell phone and turned it off. “You …?”“Quickly say. I've done what you wanted, right? Now is the time for you to say it.” Marissa, for a moment, could only gape. He didn't quite understand Dave's words
A sweet smile was etched on Leo's face when he watched Aini who was eating voraciously. "How? Do you like the food? Does everything feel good and suit you?”Aini who heard that just nodded her head lazilyin fact, she really didn't want to eat in a place far away. However, when the first meal was served, Aini actually felt that everything tasted excellent. That feeling made him take more and more, like a person who was so hungry and had not eaten in the past few days. Indeed, it tasted that good, it's no wonder Leo also liked the food here to the point where he looked more relaxed than usual. When the only food left was dessert, Aini's face had changed quite a lot. At first, she looked a little annoyed and there was no smile on her face, but now Aini's face was radiant and filled with smile. For Leo himself, it was like happiness for him, to be able to make Aini smile broadly. When the woman raised her head and looked at Leo, she also smiled so sweetly that Leo felt like capturing it.
The wrinkles on Arjuna's forehead seem to be his trademark. The troubles he experienced seem to have no end, to the point that he thought that he had been born with a fate full of bad luck. In his chaotic thinking, Arjuna finally took a deep breath. He could see Lia who had read his message, but he still couldn't see her reply even though it had been several minutes. How could Arjuna not be worried when it was like this? Still thinking about the possible, Arjuna tapped his forehead, trying to think quickly and also make a rational decision. At a time like this, how could he make a rash decision? He could fall into the abyss if the wrong choice. Because he didn't know what to do anymore, Arjun finally choose to contact Sean, hope that his best friend could help him. He also didn't forget to send messages to Dave that the person didn't read at all. “I have to meet Lia.” The tone given by Arjuna this time showed his dominan, as if he wanted to say that, he would create a path in his lif
“Salsa why suddenly calling me again?” Lia, who was still in her office, turned off the phone with Aini not because there was a problem with her work. Instead, he gets a message from Salsa saying not to tell Aini anything and calls her back immediately. “Hello? Lia? Do you have spare time?” Salsa's voice echoed in Lia's ear. Hearing that Lia rubbed her forehead, it was obvious that Salsa's voice this time didn't sound calm at all. Did something happen to him? “Where are you now? Let me get to you.”“I'm scared, Lia.” The words were followed by vibrations, making Lia sit up straight. “Lia… you… you don't come, okay?”"What are you talking about? How can I not come if you are like that? Anyway, send your location now!”Lia's muffled groans could now be heard. He frowned and glanced around, making sure it wasn't from where he was. After confirming that the voice was from the connected phone, Lia could feel her heart beating faster and faster. He was questioning what happened to Salsa a
Aini shook her head as she was still calling Lia. Because Dave was not at the office, Aini was freer. In fact, he had just received a message saying that Aini could be free to come home at what time because it might take him a long time to return. Of course, this brought a smile to Aini's face, she immediately called Lia to tell her this. His best friend, since he knew that Aini was almost attacked, ordered him never to go alone. What Sean said the other day was true. But now, he could only take a deep breath, listening to Lia's scolding. Her best friend was like turning into an angry mother. There wasn't a moment he spent not scolding himself or Salsa. Luckily, Salsa herself was used to seeing Lia like that, so she could ignore it like there was no problem. He can also laugh like this issue is everyday food, sometimes he also supports what Lia says. "I know, I know. I'm not going home alone. Again… tonight I have an event.”“Eh? Dinner with whom? Why am I just hearing about it now?
“Quickly too,” said Marsha, who was sitting in a café with a woman, different from the two days before. Marsha's words caught Marissa's attention, she tried to peek at Marsha's cellphone only to see the screen had turned black. A squeak escaped the woman's lips before she finally sat back in her chair sweetly. “You haven't seen Dave for a long time, have you?”"Why do you know about him? I'm not in the mood to hear his name at all. Just imagine, I was kicked out of his office!” Marissa cried excitedly, or furiously. Even though he had often told this problem to Marsha, it seemed like he was still not satisfied to channel all his feelings. Marsha even smiled awkwardly at Marissa's words and actions, but chose to remain silent. “You… miss him, right? Want to meet him?” Marissa now gaped, she blinked several times to make sure what she heard was true. Marissa tilted her head, causing Marsha to take a deep breath. It turns out that having a friend like Marissa is also quite difficult. “I
Amused giggles sounded in the café that morning. A woman patted the shoulder of the man beside her, while the victim who was hit had a sour face. He was not at all happy with the attitude of the woman who did that. Marsha, who couldn't stop laughing, rubbed her eyes that were dripping with tears from laughing too much. He also didn't even feel sorry for the other diners who seemed bothered by his shrill voice, so unpleasant to the ear in the morning. “You're just making it up anyway... laughing? You're so funny.” Leo rolled his eyes lazily, he had absolutely no interest in discussing this matter. Why did he have to tell it in detail? “This is none of your business, is it? Then why are you meddling in my affairs? Don't you want to take care of that, Lia?” Marsha, who heard that, immediately, pursed her lips spoiled. He wasn't the least bit pleased with Leo's attitude, which was always like this. With a small snort, Marsha immediately folded her arms in front of her chest and fixed he
Arjuna, who doesn't usually drink, is seen in a crowded bar. While the people there seemed to be having fun, Arjuna actually looked like someone who was lost. From the drink he drank, the way he dressed, to the expression on his face. It doesn't describe the happiness there at all. It was clear that he was waiting for someone, otherwise how could Arjuna be in a place like this. After taking a look at his surroundings, a sigh escaped Arjuna before he took a sip of the juice specially made by the bartender in front of him. A look of confusion and displeasure appeared on the bartender's face. “Waiting for someone?” The softer sounding voice of the bartender startled Arjuna. She looked at the man before nodding. “Woman?” Arjuna quickly shook his head. “No, friend, a man. Colleagues too,” said Arjuna briefly, he didn't feel the need or the need to explain his relationship with Sean at all. Again, it wasn't like he was going to see the bartender again, so why was he going into such detail
“Do not come close!” cried Aini who threw her groceries at the person behind her, almost hitting the person's face. When it came to it, of course Aini would be fine now, but her suspicions were off the mark. Because he failed to hit the first person, he quickly caught Aini immediately, holding Aini's hand, so he couldn't do anything. “Who said we'd go easy on you just because you're a girl?” Aini bit her lower lip so hard that it bled, but that person still didn't care. “Even if you bite your tongue to try to kill yourself, we are fine because there are no orders to capture alive. So just do what you want.”Understanding the situation, Aini clenched her fists and ended up pressing herself against the wall, that way no one would be able to attack her from behind. They are both, but who knows if there will be another person added? The person holding Aini's arm also didn't force her to stand close to him at all, as if he already knew that Aini couldn't escape. For that reason, the two m
