Bound of Lies

Trying to Make Peace

Happy Reading & ''Double 'DREAM

In front of me was not Renata but a foreign woman whom I did not recognize and had brown eyes that were almost similar to Renata.

I swallowed my saliva many times to condemn the stupidity I had done. "What a curse feast" I mean in my heart.

Dak Dak dak heard a bang on the door. "Bi, open this I'm Stefan. Fabian open," said Stefan behind the door. I ice my clothes that splattered on the floor and put them on. "Quick close your body" I told the woman.

I opened the door to my room, looking at Stefan's anxious face. I crashed my body into Stefan's arms, and he asked me to get out of the room.

" I did something stupid," (i did something stupid). My sobbing. Yeah, I'm crying. Crying over my stupidity.

"Gw's been trying to knock on your door all night, how's that chick?" Ask Stefan worried.

"Gue fucked her. Oh my God I fucked him," I said frustratedly.

"Night you call him Renata. It's bad, you know," said Stefan.

I'm restoring my hair and grabbing it a little bit trying to reduce the pain in my head.

"Wait for me to take the headache medicine" said Stefan and left.

Before long Stefan came up with 2 painkilling pills and one bottle of mineral water.

I took those two pills straight away.

"Easy man, calm Bi," said Stefan calming.

"Bi, she's a swallow dancer***maybe a working woman ***. Why don't you try to bargain peacefully with money," said Stefan gave advice..

I thought for a moment, there's a point Stefan said. There is little hope of escaping this problem.

"Yes, Fan. I try to be peaceful. Whatever he wants me to love as long as I want peace" I said expectantly.

Stefan and I walked back to my room.

"Where's Alex ?" I was curious about Alex not being seen from his nose.

"Still hangover (still under the influence of alcoholic beverages) is very bad lo on," said Stefan.

I just nodded my head in understanding.

I opened the door to my room, the foreign woman was still wrapped around the blanket to cover her body. Ah yes last night he only wears clothes that are minimal in material.

I gave her a t-shirt and boxer pants for her to wear. The woman came out of the bathroom after getting dressed.

We sat three and the atmosphere felt awkward.

"Ehem... Well, first of all I'm sorry about what my friend did" Stefan said. The woman was silent and did not respond to her empty eyes.

"If you want to offer money then I don't want to. I'm not pela**," he said softly.

"It's the first time I've done something like this, and your friend promised to take responsibility" he continued.

I was shocked not playing.

" I think there's a misunderstanding, my stupid friend thinks you're his girlfriend, so he says he'll take responsibility. But my mom and my friends don't know each other, do they ? It's impossible to go any further" Stefan said.

The woman snorted and rolled her eyes lazily.

"I'm tired of being despised, I'm a human being and have a heart. You rich people, breng**, consider people like me low" he said sobbing.

"And you, should be responsible for what you do," he shouted as he pointed at my face.

"We can settle it on the authorities" he said, holding back anger.

I massaged my still throbbing head plus the reality I had to face made it even more painful.

"What would happen if I were in contact with the law? Of course it will tarnish the good name of my family and the cooperation I just knit will be destroyed," my mind softened.

"And what about Renata ?" Aahhhh when I was like this, I was still thinking about her.

The woman gave her business card.

"Lea Tamara" I read her name in my heart. The woman left us both.

"Lo's good to use Bi's lawyer, try the peaceful path. You don't want to tell your brother, you have to say" Stefan said.

I thought for a moment and it seemed like that was all I had to do.

After gathering courage I contacted my sister Sakti and told her all. I heard Sakti uttered an oath of expletiveness saying I was stupid and another word that was unpleasant the one heard venting his anger. But in the end he wanted to help.

That afternoon everyone went home including Alex and Stefan because they had to go back to work tomorrow.

I am the only one still living in Bandung. Stay at a hotel located in the Cihampelas area.

Sakti and Johan my family lawyer came when the sky was dark. I also told him about the incident last night and Johan was willing to help to facilitate the peaceful path by offering a large enough peace money.

Om Johan asked me and Sakti to return to Jakarta so that my father would not be suspicious, and for Lea's business he would take care of her.

My heart was a little relieved, that night I also returned to Jakarta with Sakti. I can still see Sakti's face holding back anger and disappointment. Along the way I just kept quiet not to ignite his anger.

***

Monday morning I stepped foot into the office. I always check flat objects in my suit waiting for news from om Johan but not yet there.

My mind was completely dead-end unable to do anything. Please be anxious waiting for the news.

None of the work is finished. I really regret what I did. Even my brother Sakti refused to talk to me.

Ddrrrtt... My phone's shaking. The name of Johan is there. With trembling hands I raised the call.

Fabian: Ha...hello ?

Johan: Bi, where are you?

Fabian: A. I'm in the office.

Johan: Bi, can you come to Bandung right now ?

Fabian: Now what ?

Johan. : Yes Bi, come to XXX Hospital on YY road. (Johan sighed ) right away huh Fabian. Lea went to the hospital and wanted to see you.

I just closed the call. The chest feels tight, the heart is so sore and the hands begin to feel cold. My instinct is to say something bad has happened.

I took my foot to the basement where my car was parked without saying goodbye to Sakti. My mind is so upset.

I drove my car with trembling hands. So painful as it passed through the building where the woman was, Renata worked. I should have started chasing you today but fate says otherwise I have to take responsibility for the stupidity I have done.

"If that afternoon I had decided to start getting to know you, this might not have happened" I regretted.

"I'm sorry Renata, I'm sorry baby" I said withholding my grief.
