GIRL IN RED

CHAPTER 353. BLACK CARD

The next day, Arimbi's office was waiting for Joana in front of his office building. They had already made arrangements to go to lunch and shop. It's been a long time since they went shopping and quality time together. Because today the Emir will be home a little late finally Arimbi decided to spend the afternoon with his best friend.

 

Before long a taxi stopped and Joana got off with a smile. “Arimbi! Should I call you Madam Serkan?” Joana laughed while hugging her best friend.

“How are you doing? Where have you been?” ask Arimbi.

“Biasalah, I'm busy preparing our cafe! You go there sometime, look around!”

 

“Yes, I will definitely be there if there is free time. Let's go.” Arimbi pulls Joana's hand towards the black maybach that was waiting for her.

“Please Mistress!” the driver opened the door for Arimbi.

“Ah, your new driver huh? Where did you get that handsome driver? Is Mr Emir not jealous?”

 

“Husss! He's one of the Emir's bodyguards!” whispered Arimbi.

“Ohhhh...fast only.”.

The car drove away from the place, along the way the two women were engrossed in telling about their busy lives. Since the incident that night, Joana and Arimbi have rarely met because of their respective activities.

 

“Already until Madam.” said the driver made both of them aware of the fun of talking. They've arrived in front of Arimbi's Metro Megamall. The two got out of the car and Arimbi ordered,

“Wait here! You can make coffee at the cafe there while waiting for us.”

“Good Mistress.”

 

“Arimbi! You're not afraid of going anywhere alone like this? Why aren't there any guards following you? You know that everyone knows that you are Mr. Emir's wife.”

“Yes, why?”

“Not so! There must be people who don't like it will target you! Especially seeing you without an escort!” Joana expressed her concern.

They had already arrived at the entrance when the security saluted Arimbi. Everyone already knows that Arimbi is the owner of this shopping center. They continued walking while talking, until they arrived in front of the shoe store.

 

“Let's go in! I want to buy high heels.” shoes said Joana.

“Where do you want to buy new shoes?”

“Eh, did you forget? Two days away from Reza and Ruby's wedding? Forgot our plan?” Joana smiled as she blinked her eyes making Arimbi laugh.

 

“Ah, yes! Sorry I almost forgot.”

“Not nearly but did forget! Come in.”

“Welcome to our store Mistress!” greet the store clerk welcomed Arimbi and Joana.

“There are the latest model shoes? I want high heels in blue!” joana.

 

“Tumben you bought blue shoes? Have you bought a dress?”

“But! But I have a blue dress I've never worn. Ah.. It is not necessary to wear a fancy dress. We'll be at the party to enliven it! Hehehe!”

Arimbi and Joana tried several pairs of shoes and each chose two shoes of different colors. When Joana took out her wallet, her hand stopped seeing the black card in her wallet.

 

‘Whose card is this?’ he looked at the black card with the gold logo. He noticed the name engraved on the card was ‘Dion Harimurti’

“Ah...” Joana was shocked and put the card back in her bag. ‘Why is it in my wallet? Well...this treatment is really bad! Why is he everywhere?’

 

Joana circulated her gaze anxiously but did not see Dion nor his men. Arimbi noticed Joana's movements and felt astonished. He approached then asked, “What's up? You look like you just saw a ghost?”

“Ah, no! It was like I saw someone but it turns out I saw it wrong.”

 

“Oh my God! Arimbi Joana holds Arimbi's hand and looks at him, “Looks like I'm short!” said it. Make Arimbi frown and put his hand on Joana's forehead.

“No fever! What are you after Joana? Your speech is unclear. What's up?”

“Eh…..It-it-it…..Mr. Dion.”

“Why with Dion? Does he bother you?”

“Joana took out the black card and showed it to Arimbi.

 

“Platinum card unlimited! Since when do you have a card like this? Joana, do you have a boyfriend now? Wh who? Why didn't you secretly tell me?”

“This----this has Mr. Dion.” he said stammered.

“Hah? Dion's? Dion Harimurti's? Oh my….Joana!” Arimbi shut his mouth, surprised to hear what Joana said.

 

“Eh, I have nothing to do with him! Really am! I also don't know why this card is in my bag! I just saw him too, Arimbi! How'this? I'm afraid later he accused me of stealing his card.” said Joana began to fear.

‘Damn it! Why does it feel like I've been followed since that night?’

 

“Pay our groceries first! You owe me an explanation, Joana!” Arimbi pulls Joana's arm towards the cashier. After paying for the groceries, the two walked towards a Japanese restaurant.

The waiter greeted Arimbi kindly. Who does not know him now? The richest and most powerful woman in town? Mr. Emir's wife and eldest son-in-law in the Serkan family.

 

Arimbi chose the end table which separated the bulkhead with another table so that they are free to talk. After ordering the food, Arimbi looked at Joana with question marks.

‘Have not seen him in a few days, I seem to have missed a lot. Why didn't Joana ever call me?’

 

“Ehem....someone you want to explain?” Arimbi spoke seriously. “What's between you and Dion?”

“Hm. Arimbi! I'm confused where to start? Everything is confusing and I can't think clearly.”

 

“Yes, you just tell me which part you feel you want to tell me. I'm waiting.”

“Begini.....but don't laugh at me huh?” Joana cleared her throat then sighed.

“Hah? Why?”

“Arimbi! I'm really stupid!”

“Newly aware? Why?” Arimbi smiled seductively at Joana. "What were you doing on the way to my office?"

“He kissed me!” Joana lowered her face with blushing cheeks. She's shy, really shy.

“Dion kissed you? Huh huh? You're not kidding, are you Joana?” arimbi's eyes are rounded.

Joana shakes her head, seeing the reaction of her best friend Arimbi also knows if Joana is not lying.

 

“Then? After that what happened?”

“Nothing! That's all! Arimbi.....I fear.” Joana looked up at Arimbi. But….

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...” Arimbi's laughter broke out. He found it funny listening to Joana's confession. Arimbi could imagine how absurd the situation of Dion and Joana was.

“Eh, why are you laughing? Ssssttt.....” Joana held Arimbi's laughing hand. She felt annoyed that Arimbi was laughing at her instead of calming her troubled heart.

 

“Where? Joana....I thought you were in love with her!” said Arimbi chuckling holding his stomach.

“That's not to be discussed anymore! I'm suddenly hungry.”

Arimbi did not stop smiling to see Joana's blushing face. ‘Dion kissed her? What's wrong with that guy? Is his head in trouble again?’ his inner.
