To Cassidy, the 'previous' word Xavier uttered sounded so ludicrous and ironic.

Before, huh?

Too bad the word won't make the wound given by the man in front of him just disappear.

He hated Xavier. The man had already disappointed and hurt her. Moreover, as his best friend, how could for nine years this man never seek or even contact him? Cassidy felt like she was not considered. Suddenly he felt like cursing and strangling Xavier.

While Cassidy was in a dilemma with her mind raging, the man who became the object of her frustration could only silently stare at her.

If he looked into his eyes now, regret, sadness, longing and love, it would definitely be obvious from the look in Xavier's eyes. But unfortunately, the woman was so busy with her own thoughts and did not pay attention to the man in front of her.

There's a lot Xavier wants to talk about with Cass. But he doesn't know where to start.

"Cassidy," said Xavier, trying to attract the woman.

Cass clenched his hands as soon as he heard his name being called by a voice he had heard recently through his dreams. He cannot lie. Cass really misses Xavier's voice.

Hearing the man's voice again, suddenly their memories one by one began to appear in Cassidy's memory.

'Di, I like you. You want to be my girlfriend?'

'Gak ah. I'm afraid that if we break up, we won't win again.'

'Who said we'd break up? We'll always be together. Wherever we go, I will always be by your side.'

This encounter makes Cassidy's wounds slowly open again. And it hurts so much. Cass' chest was tight, he felt like he couldn't breathe. Cassidy turned around and left Xavier without saying goodbye.

Cassidy's expression before leaving him made Xavier feel worried and follow him.

"Ad, anterin I came home please." said Cassidy as soon as I saw Adrian.

"You why? Your face is?" ask Adrian worried.

"Body I don't feel good..."

Adrian quickly took off the suit he was wearing and put it on Cassidy. He grabbed Cass by the waist and led him out of the hotel.

Without them noticing, a man was staring at their departure with sorrowful eyes. Xavier saw everything. Xavier, who had originally intended to catch up with the girl, had to stop his steps once he found his cousin approaching Cassidy. He clenched his hands as Adrian clasped Cassidy's waist. Xavier lowered his weak head and sighed.

Before taking Cassidy home to her apartment, just in case Adrian stopped first to the pharmacy. Adrian wasn't sure the girl had medicine in her apartment. With Cassidy's nature and character, Adrian believes that once she arrives at her apartment, the girl will definitely go straight into her room and sleep without taking any medication. And that worries Adrian.

While Cassidy was asleep in her car, Adrian got out of the car and went to buy medicine for her.

"What medicine is good for people not feeling well?" he hesitated to a pharmacist.

"Who is the medicine for, children or adults?"

"Women, adults." Obviously Adrian even mentioned the sex of Cassidy.

Hearing Adrian's answer, the pharmacy went to take the drug Adrian wanted. The pharmacist who was a woman, once he heard Adrian and saw the unease emanating from his handsome face, suddenly felt envious of the woman Adrian mentioned.

After successfully purchasing the drug for Cassidy, Adrian returns to his car. Once inside the car, the sound of Adrian's door opening caused Cassidy, who was originally asleep, to wake up.

"Have you arrived, Ad?" cass asked half-consciously.

"Belom, you sleep again. Let me wake you up when I get there."

"Hmmm.." muttered Cass again closing his eyes.

"Thanks, Ad..."

Adrian smiled then stroked Cassidy's hair and said, "You rest, gih. Change shirt. I made some anget tea first. That's Abis you're taking medicine."

"Hmmm..."

Cassidy was grateful to Adrian. For him, Adrian is a friend he can rely on. If he needs anything, other than his best friend Karina, Adrian is the one he will be looking for. Cassidy's annoyance at Adrian, but in his heart he knew that Adrian's figure meant a lot to him.

Adrian leaves Cassidy's apartment after making sure the woman takes her medicine. He then returned to the hotel because Xavier's welcoming party was still going on.

"Where are you going, Ad?" Investigate Xavier on Adrian, still worried about Cassidy leaving all of a sudden.

"home"

"Come home?"

"Hm, he's not feeling well."

"He's elo's ex-girlfriend?" xavier asked with a flat, contrived expression while playing the glass that contained the wine he was holding.

Adrian, who had no idea that his cousin was now investigating him, plainly replied, "Hmmm..."

"He who was elo story?"

Adrian nodded. This time he feels that Xavier seems so curious about his relationship and Cassidy's.

"Elo why is it? Don't tell me you're interested in Cassidy?" Adrian was half joking.

Xavier's eyes immediately turned serious upon hearing Adrian's question. But only for a few seconds. Then the tip of his lips was attracted to form a smile.

"Why is that why? You two broke up anyway, right?"

"Tetep elo can't get him. And she also has a boyfriend. I don't know what he saw with that Devon." Adrian said his last sentence with a tone of dislike. And it's not through Xavier's hearing at all.

Anxiety has been growing in Xavier's heart ever since he saw the closeness of Cassidy and Adrian. Moreover, once knowing that Cassidy is Adrian's ex-girlfriend who used to make Xavier curious and wondering with women who managed to make Adrian change.

"Elo's still in love with her, Ad?" without Xavier realizing it, the question came out of his mouth.

Unexpected with Xavier's question, Adrian looked at Xavier at a glance and smiled weakly.

"Yep, I still love her, Xav."

At once Xavier also felt like punching Adrian in the face. Jaw clenches. Hands clenched. Arrested though.

"Did? But I think he doesn't agree with you, Ad." - Xavier's ridicule is upset and jealous.

He was jealous because Adrian could so easily say he loved Cassidy. She had to cover up her feelings for the woman.

"What do you mean, Xav? Elo mock me?"

"Elo just said, right, that you two broke up and she has a boyfriend now."

Adrian grunting. "Gue was sure the two of them would break up."

"Decap? Why are you sure they're gonna break up?"

"Because I know Cassidy doesn't match that Devon fucker."
