"Welcome, Mr. Sagara, Miss Abbysca."
Damar, who was struggling with his laptop, immediately stood up when he saw two people closest to his boss coming out of the elevator. Seeing the gloomy look on Gara's face, the man did not dare to ask more. Several times talking casually with Mahen, making him quite know how to temper a Gara.
"Hm. Is Juna inside?" Saying purpose without further ado. While Abby only smiled a little to respond to the greeting of her brother's secretary.
"Sir, I just finished lunch. Please ma-"
The door of the room near them opened from the inside, making them compactly turn their head, Damar did not even have a chance to continue his speech.
Andita just came out with a tray in her hand. The woman was shocked to realize that the uninvited guest was there. As powerful as he was, he held the darkness on his face when he saw the somewhat humbling gaze of Gara's figure. I don't know what that means.
"Good day, Mr. Gara." Greet politely and with a sweet smile. But his reaction was a little different when he greeted Abby, "Miss Abby." It sounded more lazy and bored, even though the woman was quite good at covering up.
No one said that greeting. Because it looks not caring, and Abby who is like thinking.
"Let's go in!" For pulling the hand of his fiancee and inviting her to enter the door that is not fully closed.
"No need to say hello if you don't want to." It was Gara's words as the two of them passed Andita who was standing by the door, as if guarding the door so that no one entered it but her.
Andita was stunned when she heard the unexpected remark from Gara. And so does Damar who understands nothing. In his heart he pondered, hoping it wasn't him that Gara meant. He didn't do anything wrong just now, did he?
On the other hand, Gara and Abby who entered the room Juna, was standing rigidly at the end of the room when the owner of the place just stayed behind his desk. Seemed to ignore the presence of two guests. Either because you don't know or you don't want to know.
"Did our arrival interfere with your time, Mr Arjuna?" Because of polite and formal. But his feet stepped lightly and casually sat on the sofa without being invited. "Sit down, Abby darling!" Pulling her fiance's hand gently to sit quietly beside her.
Juna watched the pair of lovers who had just arrived. Still being indifferent, the man stood up and left his job. Then approached the two with a meaningless expression.
"How are you, Gara?" Juna sat on another sofa facing directly at Gara. But no matter what he meant, the man ignored Abby's presence at all. Just looking at him no, the thing that made Gara frown in wonder. While Abby who can guess, just silently looked at her brother who now feels so foreign.
Suppressing the discomfort in the heart, Gara replied, "good. And you look a little different." His words were full of meaning while looking at Juna full of judgment. It's like finding things that shouldn't be in her friend.
Juna poured the drinking water from the crystal pot into two small glasses and placed it in front of them. "There has to be a change in order for life to go as it wishes, right?" His words were full of sarcasm. Even with a glance at the corner of his eye that leads to Abby who has been looking at him since.
A cynical rarity was heard, "what is that change including ignoring those closest to you?" Attacking directly without further ado.
The sharp glances Juna gave to Gara. "My closest people? Who do you mean? I see him every day, and we spend a lot of time together." The look on her face implied the confusion that looked so fake in Gara and Abby's eyes.
For a moment of silence with an increasingly unpleasant look.
"Are you crazy?" the sentence finally came out as well.
Instead of being angry, Juna smiled wider. The net moved on to Abby who said nothing. "Oh, did your lady just complain? what'd he say? is he complaining because I don't care about him now?"
His words really provoked emotions because of which he had been holding back. But when he would reply to the words, there was a person who held his shoulder to stop. He turned his head, and found Abby's face so calm and flat. Seems not affected at all by Juna's speech.
"Not to be responded to. Let's just say he's crazy." Without feeling the need to whisper, Abby said it in her usual tone. It was as if Juna really had to hear it.
Abby cleared her throat slowly, then glanced at the available drinks on the table. "It is not good to refuse drinks from the host." He said as he took one cup, and said something before drinking it, "thank you for the drink, Brother."
It was sweet and fresh, but his tongue, which had been used to all sorts of flavors long ago, could feel bitter at the end of his throat when the liquid ran out in his mouth. Also a pretty pungent strange scent on his nose.
Abby turned her head quickly towards Gara who had just raised her cup. Then he stopped Gara's movements with his small hands. Successfully, the man immediately turned his head when he saw Abby's hand holding his wrist. Like preventing something.
"What's wrong?" tanyanya.
The woman had not been able to say anything, just staring at her fiance with a complicated face. But he felt relieved because the drink had not been touched by Gara.
On the other hand, Abby is confused to give a reason. It would be very complicated if he said the drink that Juna was drinking contained something dangerous.
"That's.." Abby's looking for the right word.
"Just relax, I haven't thought of putting poison in it yet."
Juna, who had been watching the interaction of the two, could not help but be upset by his ego, which was affected by Abby's actions. What the fuck is that girl? does Abby think she'll go that far?
"Not now, maybe." Continue Juna with an attitude that has returned indifferent. I don't know since when he became lazy to talk if he met his sister.
Seeing if Abby chose silence not to respond to his words, also Gara who had now stored back his cup without drinking a single bit, Juna could only snigger cynically. The annoying grin was clearly visible on his handsome face while recalling something that had plagued his mind lately.
"Say, are you aware of your mistake now?" netraya looked at Abby with a fixed, even with the look of her face that returned flat indecipherable.
There was a ray of shock on the woman's face when she realized Juna was asking her to talk. He thought he would be ignored as long as they were here.
"Kesa..lah?" Abby asked again, more to herself.
I have many sins and mistakes. So, which one do you mean? of course it's all Abby said in her heart.
"Curtain!" Juna throttled while turning his gaze in the other direction. "Still being useless as usual. Aren't you fed up with all these pretenses? come on, show me the truth! no more hiding behind the angel's face." Speak at length with a non-playful tone.
Abby nodded in her place. This long sentence full of accusation. Did Juna know his real identity? is this the end of his life? the woman held back her face to stay calm. He also secretly hoped that his heartbeat that was racing at this time was not heard by anyone but himself.
"Sister, what do you mean"
"Please stop!" Juna cut his words.
"Huh?" Abby chimed in in a daze and was a little empty.
Silent moment. The pair of brothers stared at each other with different eyes. The two seemed to be diving into each other's netra, looking for something that could have been hidden there. While Gara chose to be quiet quietly, he would let the sister in front of him talk to each other. If everything is not conducive anymore, then he will intervene later.
"I'm so sick of hearing that call. Can you stop him?"
And Abby was completely stunned by Juna's words. The look in his eyes turned pushy and a sense of disbelief. Even with Gara who looked at Juna as if the man was not the person he had known all along.
