Calista stunned. Instantly he realized this was not light talk, but .. does Julio have to say that?
"Son't you think I lied to like Big Brother?"
"Na. I know you're honest about it. That's your most honest side, isn't it?" Julio reached out a hand, helping Kalista to sit upright despite her somewhat messy appearance.
Julio then carries Kalista's hand to his cheek, breathing heavily.
"But anything other than that, I don't think it's honest."
"Kak—"
"You didn't like me from Sergio, but Miss Winnie could make you not even interested in me. I could have won from Sergio but once Sergio left you, you stopped wanting me to be the centre of the world. I should've helped you but you finished everything behind me. I'm proud of you, Baby, I really do but. You don't even cry."
Kalista didn't even try to say 'I'm scared, sister, I'm thinking'. He immediately went to finish it by himself as if Julio could not help him.

"It's not like that" Kalista murmured.
Kalista pulled her hand from Julio to hold her own. Calistas thin their lips and think long enough to actually be able to say something again.
"Sister Julio knows what it means to be a concubine for me?"
Julio pulled up Kalista's chair to sit down. His hand stroked the Kalista kneecap while looking up, ready to listen to whatever it was.
"That's a lot more complex than just Mama's a whistle-blower. Frankly, I just said mistress's son is as bad as this actually runs out Mama doesn't exist. As soon as I got into Papa's family, I went into a world where I had too much affection and too much hate for me."
When Mama was still there and obviously working dirty, at least Kalista never feared. Even if he had no friends, Kalista felt that his life was very peaceful. And frankly no one hates Kalista as much as now.
All the hate, blame, insults, everything came only after Kalista became Rahadyan's son officially.
"It takes time for me to get my ego out for Papa, Julio you know? I even ran away from home because I didn't want to accept Papa, but Sergio slapped me. Physically, it actually slaps and makes me finally want to give up."
Kalista looked at his hands that were linked to each other, holding no one's hand but his own.
"Since that time I have realized that there are two things that are not the same in me. Where I'm a spoiled Papa boy to the office using lamborghini when only an apprentice, Papa's son who arbitrarily until Kak Julio must be forced to accept I'm not useful this."
"Calistas."
"While the other side, I only have myself. I like Kak Julio, I love Kak Julio— I love Papa, love my family, but .. I just .. I feel like I'm alone for this. I just have myself. I'm the one who's got to dig myself."
Julio looked at Kalista's trembling hands. "Tell me" whispered Julio. "What do you think?"
The girl looked worried.
"I'm just going to be horrified and I'm not going to argue. Please?"
"I ... I feel like Julio won't love me." Kalista smiled awkwardly. "I .. I might just chase after Brother Julio because of his handsome brother. That's the fact."
"...."
"But I don't expect Kak Julio to love me but rather to wish Kak Julio my notice. So like we don't love each other but like each other, each other's physical."
"…."
"So when Astrid ngancem me, I did not expect to be helped by Kak Julio .. because I was a bit nervous Kak Julio would be wrong me so I broke up this settlement myself, use my own way, without having to engage anyone but myself."
Julio looked into Kalista's eyes. "Do you believe that Dante will take care of you because you paid him, rather than me who loves you?"
"...."
Julio laughed a little. Kalista's chair retreated from the table and Julio moved.
"Emang yes?" Kalista shock. "I just said—"
"Because it means that even if I say love to you, you don't believe and won't believe."
Calistas wet their lips. "I ...."
"Let's go back to the past." Julio folded his hands and looked at Kalista from where he stood. "At the party, why did you tell Astrid that she was bullying you?"
".... Because he's not wrong."
Because Kalista son of the concubine so if he is called the son of the concubine, yes that's a fact, not an insult.
"Do you think you're panting?"
".... Maybe?"
"If I say you don't pantes, you should be angry, you shouldn't be ripe it—in that place, you shouldn't feel pantes; what do you think?"
"...."
Julio shakes. "You hurt me, Baby. You really hurt me now."
"Kak—"
"You can't believe I'm one of those people who diem ngangep you son of a mistress. You think I'm holding you in the back, you think I'm saying you're behind but you don't have a problem because you just like my face. That's it."
"Sister Julio, I'm not—"
"I love you." Julio pressed the control remote in his hand to let the room light up again and the locked door open.
But his eyes did not leave Kalista. "I love you, seriously. But it's pointless until you escape the specter of a concubine's son, right?"
*
Dante didn't expect this one a little. He knew Kalista wasn't as simple as she looked, but it turned out that she harbored complex feelings.
In other words, what Julio messed up in there was .. she found Kalista didn't know how to love something.
Kalista does not love and feels not really loved by anyone, so Kalista will not be heartbroken if she loses Julio and she instead thinks one day Julio left her because she is a concubine's son.
Well, a sudden too serious feeling. Dante guesses that Julio got the jewelry from Lissa and because it was so valuable, Julio wants to make the jewelry as proof of application.
Seriously.
But someone can't just get married without making sure they want to trust each other and so on, right?
"You and Miss Lissa have a resemblance in one place." Dante opened his voice as they were in the car, heading to the apartment. "But it's different, too, I guess."
The lethargic calistas after the conversation could only respond with a mutter. "Hm."
"Your equation is that you're really focused on yourself. I mean, no matter how others talk, you stick to your decisions. Right?"
"Hm."
"But what's different is your faith." Dante. "If at any one time there's a hail of bullets coming at you two and you two can't move, you two will definitely smile."

it's just an obsession because KAK JULIO GANTENG REALLY! 😍😍😍
