DELENE

THIRTEEN

I learned to no longer trust people who have broken promises, let alone betrayed.Delena Scharlete

"Before leaving for Bogor, we stopped by Kak Shua's house first. Not far from here,"

delena said cheerfully.

Gavin who was just about to enter his car stopped, he looked at Delena confused. "Well?" tanyakanya.

"Mom make a cake and ask me to anterin over there. It's Belva's favorite daughter, Brother William. Brother William is Brother Shua." Delena explained. "You, right?"

"Lazy."

Entering the car, Gavin paid no heed to Delena's already pouting expression of dislike.

Didn't that man miss the cold?

"Why not go in?" Gavin asked as Delena did not move from her place.

"I walk alone if you don't want to. Mama made you a cake, too, but I feel sorry for it. It's better for me than him to be eaten by a heartless guy like you. Goodbye, Gavin. Don't see me again in the future!"

The man glared. Delena was already about to walk when then Gavin yelled to her name.

"Gosh, Del. Comein! But don't be long."

A smile rose on Delena's beautiful face. The girl quickly enters Gavin's car before the owner changes his mind. "You're the world's most handsome Gavin."

"Hm."

I don't like it, because the reason you're smiling right now is because it's related to Joshua.

Arriving at the magnificent Om Arfa residence, Delena immediately descended in spirit when she met a little girl who was playing with a man in the front yard. "That's Belva! Oh my goodness, he's big."

"Gavin, aren't you coming down?"

"I'll just wait here."

"okay."

Delena stepped closer to the two people who were not yet aware of her whereabouts back then. Until the moment the little girl saw him, their little game stopped, Williampun immediately looked towards Delena who was walking not far from his place.

"You're getting prettier, Del. Oh, what is this?" Delena handed over the package she was carrying and immediately raised the little girl William up high. The girl laughed at Delena's treatment, especially as Delena continued to kiss her round, reddish cheeks.

"Mama made a cake, brother. It's for beautiful princess Belva."

"Come, what did you tell Aunt Delena, honey?" William looked at his son gently.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Together, Belva." Delena kissed the boy again.

"Del, wait a minute. I'm asking you to take care of Belva first yes, want to turn the stove first into the kitchen almost forgetfulness."

"Sister, I can't take long." William did not hear it, he stepped into the house a little in a hurry as Delena stared anxiously at the parked car not far from its place.

"Darling, let's meet Om Gavin first." Carrying Belva in her carrier, Delena stepped towards the man while praying inwardly.

"Gavin, sonny. Brother William send Belva to me for a minute. Sorry yes."

"And I said not for long."

Although Gavin said that softly, Belva who was in Delena's arms immediately cried after hearing the man's voice. Delena quickly stepped aside as she tried to calm him down. "Shm...Om Gavin's a good man, honey. Why is Belva crying?"

"Papaa...."

"OK, okay, Aunt Delena take you to Papa now yeah."

Delena enters the house, looking for William's whereabouts from the main room to the kitchen. Belva's cry grew louder and louder calling her Papa until Delena did not need to scream for the man's whereabouts.

"Papa's in the bathroom, baby. Just a minute!"

See. William shouted from the room near them. Delena entered it slowly, Belva's cries subsided after hearing her father's voice and it was a relief once.

Not to relieve it. Delena realized that she recognized the room she was in right now. And that's Joshua's room! Even the owner was asleep there.

"Om Cua, wake up Om!"

Delena glares. Belva has come down from his arms. The boy was already on the bed, on a blanket that covered the man's body.

"Shm...Belva."

"Om, bang.." Belva's words stopped because the man immediately pulled his arm and hugged him tightly under his stocky arm. Belva screamed, but instead of crying the boy laughed loudly.

Seeing that, Delena decided to leave. Belva's been with her so she's no longer needed, right?

"Sister, that's William's sister turning Belva over to me. I have to hurry..."

Just as the girl was about to wake up, she felt her arms being pulled. Screaming in surprise, Delena was suddenly already on top of the man's body.

"Please tell me this isn't a dream." Joshua whispered. His voice was hoarse typical of new people waking up.

Not wanting to answer, Delena tried to get up. While he tried, the man's hands impolitely restrained his waist until Delena's efforts were futile.

"Belva, please Aunt Delena."

Delena looked at the girl who was now in one corner of the bed.

Instead of helping, Belva laughed and the boy hid under a blanket.

Smart nephew.

Delena stared fiercely at the man below her. Joshua was certainly handsome even when he just woke up. But Delena really doesn't like their situation right now.

"Please excuse me. You should know that I never wanted us to be rich."

Cup.

Joshua moved his face suddenly. Instead of pecking right at the lips, the man's lips landed near Delena's ears as the girl immediately turned her head quickly.

"I learned to no longer trust people who have ever broken a promise, let alone betrayed."

Tears have been curbed in her eye pelupuk. Delena had never said such harsh words to Joshua before. He doesn't know if it's a good thing or not.

Taking advantage of the man's shock, Delena immediately got up and ran out of the room. Also the wound he hoped would not get wet again.

***

Gavin was surprised to find Delena running towards him with reddened eyes and tangled hair. He was about to get off when Delena quickly entered the car and hugged him tightly. "I'll borrow your shoulder for a bit." Delena spoke between her tears on Gavin's broad shoulder.

Gavin said nothing and just left it like that. The bead turned towards the double door where Delena came out a moment ago. Joshua stood with the girl on his shoulder that Gavin saw with Delena earlier. His jaw hardened instantly, if Gavin did not like Delena to smile because of the man, now he really hates the fact that Delena just cried because of the man too.

"You want me to go downstairs right now to kick Joshua, or do you want to borrow my shoulder? Borrow forever is also possible."

Delena looked up, she stared at the stench of Gavin who was staring at her softly with her lips raised. Patted gently on the lips, Delena immediately sat up straight and tidied her messy hair.

"So seriously I'm down." Gavin took off his seatbelt suddenly.

"We're going home. I'm not crying because Joshua's a fucking idiot."

I can guess that you cry because you know in your heart there is still that man.

"Kirain he said to you."

"Joshua is not that kind of person! She.." instantly Delena remembered the man who was about to kiss her. While Gavin thinks Delena has just realized that the man is the same person who once betrayed her.

And isn't that annoying, defending your ex-lover in front of your current lover?

"Gavin, sorry." Realizing her mistake, Delena looked at Gavin guiltily.

"Kiss here first I'm sorry." Gavin tilted his face slightly, the man's one hand pointing at his left cheek while his eyebrows he played up and down meant flirting.
