Caught (Revised)

In the TV room.

Veno was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He tried several times to squeeze the TV remote hoping to find something that could entertain the heart. But nothing caught his attention.

Squeezing his back to the glowing green sofa that matches the interior color of the living room, Veno also arranged the ceiling of the house and muttered, "I'm bored ...."

"Why you?"

I heard someone coming from behind the sofa.

Veno turned his head towards the direction where the voice came from.

He saw a man who was quite old with white color almost all his hair, Baskoro Edi Sejagad.

"Eh Papi .. I just feel bored" Veno replied as he placed the TV remote onto the table. He looked carefully at the old figure of the father who was laying down next to him.

"Working food, you are old enough to ask for pocket money with Papi," grumbled Baskoro, "free you study business management for years abroad, but you do not use it at all. What is the use of all the charters and awards that you have obtained so far," he continued, glancing at the charter attached to the wall of the family room.

Scratching his nape, Veno smiled clumsily. "I'm just not ready yet, Pi."

"Not ready yet. It has been four years since you returned to Indonesia, but your reasons are always the same. Do you have to wait for the company to go bankrupt first you are ready? Or, wait for Papi to die?" baskoro said in a slightly annoyed tone. "Or do you want to go back to America, stay with your mom. Help him take care of the company there?"

Hearing that remark Veno immediately shook his head. Really, he didn't want to go back to America. Not wanting to stay with her dictatorial Mama, always imposing her will and utterly unforgiving.

"I don't want to go back there Pi .. I've lived with my mom since I was 10 years old. I don't want to be restrained anymore, I want to be free."

For a moment Veno instantly recalled an old memory. Where since childhood he was always forced to study, take these lessons, and the tutoring. Always taken to meetings, conferences, even to parties of company leaders that he did not even know. He suffered so much at that time, when friends his age were busy playing, he was forced to learn.

I really don't want to go back to that hell again! Veno. He flapped his hands while thinking. "All right, I'll work. But give me another week" he said, then left.

In the room .

Veno exhaled a heavy breath. Then throw the body on the mattress and look at the ceiling of the room. Not knowing what possessed the soul, he suddenly remembered the face of the vulgar girl he met yesterday at the clothing store.

Shinta's smiling face is so sweet with a dimple basin makes her face look more beautiful.

Unknowingly Veno followed smiling.

But he quickly slapped his own cheek.

Jeez .. I don't seem to be in my right mind. Why do I think that girl stinks? Remember I have a boyfriend. My boyfriend Susi is many times beautiful on the appeal of the girl ... I'm not a pedophile who's interested in children either. Come on Veno, quickly get back to your senses.

Veno grabbed his own hair, trying to resuscitate the crazy thoughts in his brain.

"I'm going to Susi's place alone," he muttered and then reached out to pick up the phone—binti told her lover. However, he did not stop and intended to give a surprise.

Veno then put his phone back in his pants pocket and stood up to pick up the car keys on the nightstand.

Whose car is this? Didn't his parents leave? Is Susi cheating? Veno immediately accelerated his steps towards the door of Susi's house. He tried to peek out of the glass that was slightly covered in curtains. He smiled with relief, that what came was not a man, but a woman wearing jeans and a black hoodie. The woman looked so beautiful with her tall body, and her shoulder-length hair. While Susi herself uses a black tank top and knee-length shorts. They seem serious about something.

You're so sexy, honey ... I really want to eat you. Veno smiled cunningly. He stepped his feet to push the door that was not closed. However, Degh! Feeling electrocuted, Veno rigidly saw the scenery in front of his eyes. He saw a lover kissing the lips of his girlfriend. A kiss that was so voracious and lustful.

Veno inflamed the most disgusting sight on the face of this earth.

Brakhs!

Veno pushed firmly against the door with his hand. His eyes were red, his blood was boiling and his heart was racing.

"The Sister's Husband!"

Veno's scream that made Susi stop her activities.

The woman wearing a black hoodie just sat back on the sofa, while Susi approached Veno who stood staring at the door of his house.

"What are you doing here?" susi asked casually as if she had done nothing wrong.

Veno was surprised to hear the words spoken from his lover's mouth. He looked into the eyes of the woman in front of him.

"You ... what are you doing!"

Susi just glanced at Veno and wrapped her arms in front of his chest. He was lazy to answer Veno's question. "It's none of your business."

"You're lesbian? But we've been dating all this time?" veno asked curiously and tried to dampen his emotions.

"I love him more, while you are just a lie so that my parents do not suspect" Susi said.

Veno was speechless, the casual-looking man was in shock.

"And yesterday everything was revealed, my parents knew it and I was thrown out. So I have no reason to date you anymore" Susi said in a relaxed tone.

I swear, for whatever is on the face of the earth, Veno wants to scream and even hit the woman.

"But you can fool me."

Veno's voice began to weaken. He did not expect the woman who had been known to be very good and polite turned out to be hiding something very scary.

"Why? Are not you the same.you even often do one night stand, so do not be holy-spirited. We're both despicable humans, so don't insult each other."

Susi's words seemed to pierce the heart. However, it is true, they are equally depraved.

"But, I love you so much .. I even tried to improve myself," Veno said as he interrupted Susi's hand.

"Sorry Veno, I prefer it. And we're leaving for overseas tomorrow."
