Kiara's Heart Choices

episode 33

Ting...

Rio reached into his pants pocket. His sense of hearing caught his cell phone's signal beeping indicating an incoming message. Rio rubbed his phone screen and appeared Olive's name as the sender of the message. Rio opened the message from Olive immediately.

Apparently Olive sent a video message. Rio had to download the video first because Rio did not set his phone in automatic mode. It only took a few seconds for Rio's smartphone to download Olive's video.

"Rio Hiii! I'm sorry I just dared to talk to you, even if not directly"

Degs...

Rio widened his eyes. Instantly his body was sculpted. Rio rubbed his eyes many times. He did not believe what his nether eyes saw and heard his ears.

The dreams? Is this a dream? Rio was afraid that he was hallucinating. He hit his head many times and of course it made him sick. Rio smiling. It turns out he's still conscious. Rio continued to play the video of Olive's delivery with a thumping feeling.

“I can only say sorry, sorry, and sorry for Dira's rude actions to you and Evan. I'm really embarrassed. It feels like even though I apologized to you guys so many times, it doesn't feel enough"

"I'll make sure Dira doesn't do that to you and Evan. I pledge. Oh yes thank you for the dress. What a pretty dress. Know it? When I tried it I immediately imagined you were next to me and of course you photographed me like when I first set foot in Evan.”'s office

“I hope that moment repeats itself. I miss being your model. One more thing, you look ugly. Where was the handsome Rio first? I barely recognized you. I wish I could meet the old Rio. It was Rio. Nye"

Rio kissed her phone screen many times. His originally empty heart had now turned happy. Tears just escaped from her net.

Damnit damnit! Rio cursed himself which turned into melancholy. Rio played back the video of the shipment from Olive. Once, twice it's not enough. Rio really missed Kiara.

“Boy.!”

Evan suddenly walked into Rio's room. Rio who is still immersed in his love romance is unaware if Evan walks into his room. Evan, who felt ignored by Rio, immediately approached and noticed the look on Rio's face.

“Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Oh no! I really can't believe you're crying. Where's your playboy soul, huh?" evan asked in disbelief.

Evan believes this must have something to do with Kiara. That woman really made Rio chaotic and melancholic like this. All these years Evan knew Rio, only today did Evan see Rio shed tears. It is usually Rio who makes the women cry not the other way around.

“You miss Miss Kiara?" ask Evan.

Rio shakes. He hands over his phone so Evan can see Olive's video. Evan's face turned sad after playing a video of Olive's submission. He could feel how his best friend was feeling at this moment.

“Boy, I've told you to go after him many times but you don't want to. I know how you feel about him...”.

“I'll catch up to him!” rio said cutting off Evan's words.

“It's time I moved. I don't want to be quiet anymore. I will fight for my love before it's too late” said Rio again.

“Boy....!!! Are you sure?" evan and Rio asked steadily.

Evan hugged Rio tightly. The first time in the history of Rio and Evan's friendship. Bosses and subordinates who usually had a fight, now they hugged tightly.

“Pursue your love! Get him, Boy!" evan said encouragingly.

“Definitely! I will pursue my love" Rio said.

“Oh, yes I forgot!" evan shouted then released his embrace.

“I'm here because there's something I want to tell you"

Evan gave a plane ticket to Rio with both of his eyebrows which he moved up several times. Rio took Evan's plane ticket. He scrunched his forehead. Rio did not understand Evan's intention of suddenly thrusting a plane ticket at him..

“You will send to Jakarta" said Evan.

“Jakarta? Indonesia?” ask Rio.

Evan nodded.

“You will work with my twin sister, Ivana. Yesterday he called me to ask you to work with him for a few months"

“I? Why me? Is there no good photographer?" ask Rio.

“Nothing but he does want you to hold the project. Ivana saw the photos of your work and she was interested in using you. Never mind, not much consideration! Think of it as a gift from God to you in order to smooth your intentions" said Evan smiling seductively to Rio.

“Then when do I leave?" ask Rio.

“Next week"

“Next week? That fast?" rio asked in disbelief.

“Quick movement, boy, before your woman is taken by someone else” said Evan lightly.

“I'm also in the process of making a dress for Miss Kiara. Later I bring it too and give it to him” added Evan.

“You're crazy! Is Jakarta that narrow so you're sure I can meet Kiara there?” rio asked while shaking his head.

“What use is there for Olive that you can make a clue to? You're ready. I will forward the dress to Miss Kiara” Evan said then passed away leaving Rio's study.

While in Dira's study

“What??? That Breng sek Vaston is going to work in Jakarta?" tanya Dira growled.

Currently Dira is talking to one of the spies he is assigned to monitor the movements of Rio and Evan.

Ever since the events of Rio and Dira's commotion a few days ago, somehow Dira felt Rio and Evan needed to be watched and sure enough, her errand man's report today really infuriated her.

“Say! Why will he work in Jakarta?” ask Dira again.

“Rio will be working for several months with Evan's twin sister Ivana. Miss Ivana is a famous designer in Jakarta. They will be involved in joint projects in Jakarta"

“Hmm... joint project? Excuses!!! They must be planning something. When will Vaston leave for Jakarta?”

“One more week, Sir"

“You know what you have to do?” tanya Dira with her sly smile .

“Make sure both feet do not touch Jakarta”

“What do I need to lose,Master?”

“No need! Perform your duties immediately!” expel Dira.

Dira's man bowed and immediately came out of Dira's study.

“Don't ever wish you could meet Kiara, Vaston! Until I die I won't let that happen" Dira said.

                                   ___***___

Olive walks into Kiara's room with a pile of files that she has to give to Kiara. The files are reports about the company Kiara is now handling.

Kiara is currently focusing on her laptop. Several times he shook his head. There were a lot of files he had to learn about his company. Kiara must learn how her uncle used to manage her father's company. Kiara does not want this company to decline. Kiara is determined to make this company even better.

“Nona Kiara, this is there a report that you should check” Olive said politely. He placed the stack of files on Kiara's desk.

Kiara widened her eyes looking at the pile of files that Olive had brought. He looked at Olive and appeared Kiara's wry smile. Kiara took a breath and threw it away. He pulled his hands up while stretching his muscles.

“Uncle where?" ask Kiara.

“He is in a meeting, representing you, with one of the clients” explained Olive.

Although Kiara became the president, Kiara still asked her Uncle to handle important tasks that she could not possibly handle as a novice president. Kiara leaned her body.

“What's Miss tired of ? Since then Miss has not rested at all" said Olive. He was actually feeling sorry to see Kiara at this moment.

Kiara shakes.

“Do you need anything? Let me ask OB to bring you here" Olive bargained again and Kiara shook her head.

“Oh yes, have you sent my message to Rio?" ask Kiara. Somehow Kiara needs a chat interlude so that her brain is not saturated thinking about her work.

Olive gasped in surprise.

“Sorry Miss Kiara, I forgot to say if the message from Miss has been conveyed and Rio has read the message from you" Olive said while bowing.

Kiara smiled at Olive's words. Somehow hearing Rio read his message, made Kiara's heart happy.

“What Rio misses me?” kiara asked suddenly and of course it made Olive shocked.

“Does Miss miss Rio?" ask Olive.

“Entahlah. I'm confused too. Ha ha ha.." said Kiara with a crisp laugh.

Olive saw the confusion in Kiara's face. Kiara was confused by her own feelings. During this time Olive only saw the love gaze from Rio while at Kiara, Olive had not found it.

Kiara and Rio's interaction can be short. So Olive can't be sure how Kiara feels about Rio.

“Rio misses you, Miss Kiara. He always misses you” Olive said.

“If he misses me. Why has he never met me? Or call me for example?" ask Kiara again.

His eyes glared upwards. There was a sense of disappointment enveloping his heart.

Olive lowered. He hesitated to say this to Kiara or not.

“Rio always meets you, Miss, even every day he goes to your campus to be able to see you from afar”

“What do you mean?" Kiara turned her head towards Olive, staring intently at her.

“Nona don't know if Rio every day comes to your campus? even when you are a wisudap Rio present there”

“What?" Kiara kicked the table.

“Rio attended my graduation? Then why didn't he come to me?" kiara asked annoyed.

“Rio dare not, Miss. He is afraid of Mr Adiraka" Olive said.

Kiara patted his forehead.

“Why be afraid of Dira? What's going on between Rio and Dira?"

“Ja..so Miss don't know?" ask Olive can't believe it.

Kiara shakes.

Olive sighed. He ventured to tell about the past of Dira and Rio. How did Dira's hatred begin to begin with Rio.

Kiara listened to Olive's story carefully. I don't know why there is pain in his heart when he knows Rio's past who often changes women. It was the same feeling when Kiara found out Ale was getting married.

“Nona...You're okay, right?" ask Olive.

He stops his story when he sees Kiara's face turning red.

“I'm fine, Olive. Thank you for telling me. You can go out and get back to work"

Olive bowed and walked out of Kiara's study.

Kiara took her phone and opened the lovagram app. With a movement of her finger, Kiara opened Rio's lovagram page and looked at Rio's photos one by one.

“Rio, why does my heart hurt when it comes to knowing your past? Is that se breng you? How many women have you slept with?" kiara lirih.

No tears escaped wetting her cheeks. Kiara cried in silence. Many times he wiped the tears that soaked his cheeks that Kiara unconsciously fell asleep on his desk.
