Badboy and The Beast

BBTB #22

"*Papa wants to talk important to you"

"What Pa ?"

"You and Mochi have met ?"

"Udah Pa, why ?"

"Papa hope you don't approach Mochi anymore"

"Well, what the hell is going on Pa, Ma ?"

"Gavin, A'corp company successfully won the tender for the construction of a new resort in Bali"

"Then, what is his relationship with Gavin Ma ?"

"There Brother. This is for Papa's company's survival"

"You mean Deck ?"

"You know what Gavin's doing"

"Hah, because Mochi is getting married to Gio ? and if Gavin lets Mochi marry Gio, our company stays safe ?"

"Currently the largest share held by A'corp Gavin company. Papa knows, Papa's wrong"

"So Papa prefers to give importance to the company ?"

"It's not Gavin. Papa kau—"

"Ma. Is that the core ? Gavin was told to stay away from Mochi ?"

"Gavin—you should know, if all what we want cannot be realized. Sometimes, what we're planning, it can turn from the plan"

"Yes Gavin. Mama understands, this is all hard for you. But—you think, what about the future of you two later ? I don't want my kids to live hard"

"Gavin doesn't know what to do with Ma. Gavin didn't want to choose"

****

"Gavin, what's wrong with you ?" tanya Mochi watched Gavin who was daydreaming from the moment they reached the lake.

"Mo, if you were given a choice between love or family, what would you choose ?" tanya Gavin looked at Mochi who was staring at the vast expanse of his lake.

"family."

"Why ?"

"Nobody can replace the Gavin family. Love can grow over time. The love of family cannot be changed."

"If you choose between me and Gio, who would you prefer ?"

Mochi turned her gaze aside.

"You mean ?"

"People you love, or people who love you so much."

"I—"

Mochi. Mochi was confused to answer.

"That means, you agreed to marry Gio ?"

"I can't answer Gavin. I love you, but I can't refuse Gio. I owe a lot to Gio."

Gavin just smiled back.

"Not to be confused Mochi. I'm sure, Gio's a good man for you."

"Are you Gavin ?"

"No. I'm just trying to accept the truth. After all, I don't work, I have nothing to compete with Gio. Everything I have has Papa."

"Why Gavin ?"

Tears welled up in Mochi's eyes. Gavin who knew tried to wipe away Mochi's tears before falling down dripped.

"Don't cry Mochi, what are you crying about ?"

Gavin looked at Mochi with both of his cheeks.

"What happened to Gavin ?"

"Papa's Company on the verge of bankruptcy. Gio company wins the resort development tender in Bali. The largest shares are held by the company A'corp. Papa's company is having difficulties, because many of his colleagues are pulling shares from Papa's company, because they want to cooperate with A'corp."

"Gavin ...."

Gavin just rubbed Mochi's cheek.

"You don't cry. I'm sure, like you said. If love can grow over time. Different from family."

"I don't want to be away from you, Gavin. I love you."

Gavin kissed Mochi warmly.

"I will always be there for you. Although, we are different. I promise, I'll take you back from Gio."

"You approve of Gavin ? why are you so happy ?"

"Mochi— There are things I need to do to make things right. Before the time comes, I will try my best to prevent your marriage to Gio."

It's not that easy Mochi. Gio would not be willing to take off his loved ones just like that ! Inner Gavin.

"Sometimes, you should be able to decipher every single word you hear Mochi. It's just a tak-tik. I'm asking you to buy some time if Gio suddenly changes."

"Gio's not that bad as Gavin. Gio is good, he can't possibly have such evil intentions. The evidence is, he let me go with you."

"Moch. You haven't changed, it's been the same. Don't be too plain and good Mochi. Unknowingly, people who do good can hurt us."

"Yes. Like there used to be people who are cool, like bully and pervert !"

Mochi thaws by removing Gavin's hand from his cheek.

"Oh yeah ? who ? I don't know ?"

Gavin smiled faintly at the look on Mochi's face like a lime.

"Yes. His word anyway, badboy Pelita Bangsa. If you see a little girl, directly her eyes are beautiful !"

"Essum ? I'm not a pervert."

"Recuredly ? didn't you like to play with girls ? keep on, there's a flirtatious chick pampering with you, you just want it," Mochi cerocos.

Gavin chuckled, making Mochi even more annoyed.

"Jealous hum ? since when do you like Gavin ?"

"Since first entered Pelita Bangsa. Look the same guy his two friends often sit in the cafeteria, find prey."

Again. Gavin chuckled at Mochi's chattering.

"Keep, how can you like it ? though he's a pervert, likes to toy with girls."

"don't know. Maybe because of his handsome, and his cool style. Hope you kayak in******* can have a guy as cool as that."

"Ha-ha-ha ! Mochi, you're so funny. You're still plain" Gavin said as he ruffled Mochi's hair.

Mochi snickered cynically.

"Gavin ! I'm not a kid anymore !"

"i know's. You're my princess."

Mochi looked at Gavin fixedly.

"Gavin, can we still be together ? what if eventually we split up ?"

"Destiny always plays us Mochi.You should know, when the time should rise, and when the time you fight. You understand, right ?"

Mochi nodded.

"How are the twins ?"

"Mo, you're always the mood destroyer."

Mochi chuckled at the look on Gavin's bent face.

"I'm just asking."

"You're at a bad time, baby."

"not yet official. Don't call me dear" Mochi replied with a smile.

"Cie, blushing. The twins are good. You know what ? Diandra and one of the twins are in love."

"Really ? Geo must be."

"No. But, Leo."

Mochi knitted her brows.

"Can I ?"

"Yes, it could be Mochi. You know for yourself, the sanest is only Leo even though he's perverted, but he's the most mature. Leo's changed, but Diandra can't handle it."

"Huh ? don't tell Diandra that she doesn't like Leo."

"don't know. You want to meet the twins ? if you want, tomorrow I invite you to meet Diandra deh."

"Tiger ! now what are they working for in college ?"

"Working in the company of his parents. Last time I heard that. Haven't seen you in a long time. About him I always think of you."

"Ish, your dreadlocks !"

"Eh, I'm not a tombal."

"Of course, you're still the old Gavin."

Mochi bent her face while folding her hands on the chest. Gavin just smiled.

"Gavin shifted his seat docked with Mochi. Gavin held both of Mochi's cheeks facing her while stroking Mochi's tiny lips.

"May I kiss you ?"

Mochi blinked her eyes repeatedly. Gavin brought his face closer. Mochi closed his eyes tightly. The friendly pagutan given by Gavin makes someone there gripping the steering wheel, until the knuckles turn white.
