DELENE
TEN
Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds and unpretentious thunder colored the night of their journey to the peak area, Bogor at that time. Delena almost regretted her decision when even the road they were on was super jammed until it was hard for their car to advance. The girl looked at the man next to her who looked mediocre as if she had gotten used to the sight before her. “Still far? Your brother booked the place at what time? We've had two more hours on the road,” said Delena a little annoyed. Not enough bad weather, the streets are jammed, he also has to be stuck with the man who continues to silence him.
“Sabar yes. Soon until ko. And you don't have to worry about booking the place.” Gavin gently said.
Until the next half hour they just pulled over and that's when the rain around them also subsided. Delena got out of the car with a little staggered following Gavin who had gone down first. Luckily Gavin quickly propped up his body or he would end up kissing the floor.
“Del, don't tell me you are motion sickness,” said Gavin who instantly broke Delena's charm because of their very close distance. Delena straightened her body then shook her head. His head felt spinning and his stomach was nauseous but he replied “aku gapapa” slowly.
“Serious not papa?”
Wear nanya. You insensitive guy.
Delena gave a small nod, she tightened her grip on the man's arm as dizziness returned.
Gavin handed the car keys to the valet before stepping into the hotel holding Delena next to him. “Do not vomit suddenly. We'll rest first yes.”
In the middle of her twisting Delena glared at the man. “I won't fuck around! Sick again still think of the angga.”
Delena complied with resignation. He trusted Gavin in fact, only he felt that being on guard was necessary. And it could be that the khilaf will not be Gavin but him. Being alone in a closed place with a handsome man Gavin is not good.
***
They entered the room that Delena initially thought was a room. He had thought that no-no until his manikin actually found a large work desk with a signboard bearing the name Gavin on it.
A. Gavin Surendra, CEO of Arion Hotel and Resort
His eyes were round, he stared at Gavin who had now taken off his jacket and walked leisurely in front of him. “Sit first. I want to make warm tea.”
Delena sat herself down on one of the couches in the room. His eyes could not stop exploring admiring the room around him. Then on the figure of a man who rises before him with a face that will make anyone fixated.
“Why did you bring me here?” delena asked after Gavin had joined her on the sofa.
“You wish I'd taken it to a hotel room, right? Your brain base is.” Delena felt her forehead in a flick before the man sweetly handed her a glass of warm tea.
“I'm serious, Gavin. You lied about your sister booking a restaurant for dinner?”
“I didn't lie about that. Call Mas Almas if you don't believe.”
“But you are the owner of the hotel.”
“Ya keep why? Can't it? Seriously you will fall in love with my chef's cooking.”
Delena rolled her eyes. He would never win an argument with the man's slippery tongue. And her starving stomach must be prioritized so Delena assures him first of all the man's talk.
“Still dizzy? Eat now yuk.”
Delena nodded, stood up to follow the man and walked side by side until they both arrived at the restaurant area on the first floor of the hotel building. The restaurant was of course luxurious, many people passed by in clothes that Delena thought the price must have been fantastic. He was a little discouraged as he stared at his simple sundress outfit with slightly dirty flatshoes wrapped around his feet. Her hair was just an ordinary outlet, and she barely wore any makeup other than the thin powder and lip moisturizer she remembered she had worn this afternoon. Even Gavin looks amazing despite wearing only a plain T-shirt with long jeans and new-looking vans shoes. At least Delena thought every item the man wore was definitely not a KW item like hers.
“Why?” Gavin asked when Delena suddenly became gloomy next to him. Delena shook her head and smiled, then she refocused on the street in front of her.
“Good night, Mr. Gavin. You didn't say it was coming.” A tall and slender beautiful woman suddenly approached them. He bowed respectfully to Gavin for a moment before smiling widely. Delena thought she was a cook when she noticed her clothes were also aprons wrapped around her slender waist.
“Order on behalf of Mr. Almas Surendra. My brother and his wife could not come. I can eat your food for free.”
The woman smiled wider and wider while Delena grumbled inwardly. Basic Gavin a charm stockman.
“Let me take you to your table, Sir." The woman walked in front of them, not bothering to even glance at Delena. Then they walk in silence. Gavin, that hungry man doesn't seem to think Delena exists anymore either. Until they finally arrived, then the beautiful cook woman went to prepare the dishes that had been ordered.
Delena who had been busying herself by looking around was surprised to get a sudden question from the man.
“What? That chick? Beautiful.”
Gavin spontaneously laughed at the ketus answer from the girl before him. Jeez, he just realized that he's been silencing Delena for too long. The woman's face should be bent in such a way that earlier.
“Hotelnya, Del not the girl earlier. Don't you get jealous, huh?”
“What's jealous? It's not clear Gavin.”
“You're so sweet if you're pouting. Gemes me.”
“Once again menggegodain rich so, I go home ya.”
“Sana just came home. What's up, hayo? A walk? Later fainted again brought om-om new to know taste.”
“You're his om-om!”
Gavin laughed louder, he looked at Delena in front of him and the girl laughed. “You really brought home the same om Gavin to home?”
***
Delena and Gavin spent another two and a half hours driving home. It is not surprising how if Delena became Gavin who often experienced it throughout his career. “Usually I rarely go home and stay in a hotel room. But since Mas Almas and his wife had to take care of the resort outside the city I had to take care of their children. Feels to be a single parent tau gak.”
“His rich kids love you so much. Means you're a great fit to be dad.”
Gavin was speechless, Delena who felt there was nothing wrong with his words looked at him confusedly. “Why?” ask Delena.
The man nodded and smiled. “Gak papa's. What are you why? Want to hang out to make me the father of your children huh?”
Grimacing, Delena chose to stare out the window instead of continuing to swallow the narcissism of the man next to her.
“We've arrived at your apartment, baby. You want to come home to me?”
Delena rolled her eyes. There will be no end if he continues to respond to Gavin's deadly temptations to her. So he chose to get out of the car before saying his thanks in short order.
The girl was shocked when she found her manic immediately cross paths with Joshua. The man was not far from his place. And why did Joshua Pratama meet him these nights and even wait for him?
“Where are you from Del?” ask the man coldly. Delena thought Joshua was looking at her, but she looked at Gavin, who was standing next to her.
“He doesn't have to report where he's been all day. You're not even anyone.” Gavin replied representing Delena who chose silence.
“Sorry, I spoke with Delena not with you.”
“What brother is here?”
No longer caring for Gavin, Joshua looked at Delena gently. He placed both his hands on the girl's shoulders and lowered his head. “Tomorrow to go home with me yes. You never missed a mother's day before. My family will come too. Would you, Del?”
“I didn't forget, brother. Sorry, I was planning to go home by myself. Thanks for the offer.”
No need to wait for Joshua to answer, let alone say goodbye to Gavin, Delena stepped up leaving the two handsome men behind her. His body is really tired, he must immediately rest so that tomorrow is not bad luck.
And so that tomorrow he has the stamina to return to face the test of his life.
