Killing Me Softly's

32

Lyra drove her own car to meet her mother-in-law at a large hospital in downtown Jakarta. Today she was asked to undergo several tests and consultations about pregnancy.

He's a little late from bad luck. Because last night he and Moeis cooked together and spent 2 cans of beer each to get drunk and fall asleep.

His phone rings again. Ah, her mother-in-law.

"Yes, Mom. I'm already in the parking lot. In a moment .."

But Lyra was silent once she managed to park her car. He listened to the mother-in-law's words.

"Yes, it's okay. All right, Mom."

His breathing has been irregular since. Suddenly, this meeting was canceled. Her mother-in-law said there was something important that was sudden and wanted to reschedule the examination.

"I almost got a ticket" he said tired.

Now he doesn't know what to do. No longer in the office, in a quiet house.

Lyra eventually calls Moeis and asks to lunch together at a restaurant near the company. He arrived first and picked a table by the window. In about 10 minutes, he was still struggling with his cell phone.

"Liara.."

"Finally you came.." welcome Lyra to a brief hug.

"What's wrong? Why not meet my mom?"

"Yes. I've come. But I have a sudden business and ask for another time"

Lyra had already ordered food and now came right after Moeis arrived.

"You say strange things all night." said Moeis.

Lyra surprised. He doesn't believe. But indeed his drunken habit is to talk carelessly.

"Ah what..what did I say? It doesn't seem to exist"

Moeis smiled lightly recalling the events of last night. While he was not drunk in the slightest just because of 2 cans of beer. His tolerance for alcohol is quite high.

"I heard it.."

Lyra growled out of curiosity.

"Yes what? Say…"

"You love me, then want to kill .."

Lyra shut her mouth. His sight is now down.

"Well, if I love you, why kill you?" said slowly.

But Moeis shook her head. That's not what he meant.

"It's not me you want to kill.., you really can be terrible too" he said.

"Then? Wh who? After all I have no intention of killing people, why get carried away while drunk.it is not true" Lyra replied in self-defense.

Moeis found Lyra's response to be very funny.

"You want to kill Ellie and Helena"

It made Lyra even more surprised and embarrassed as well.

"really? Mmm. yeah, maybe it was just a normal hallucination. Everyone who gets drunk tends to say shit, right? I did too.."

Moeis who was eating lunch, looked into her eyes occasionally.

"Then, when you say you love me that's bullshit too?" ask Moeis casually.

The question made Lyra feel clumsy. Don't know what to answer.

"Yes, I don't know. You don't love me anyway, do you?" her question wanted to make sure of something.

Lyra pretended to focus on sorting out broccoli, but was actually very much waiting for Moeis' answer.

According to his estimate! Moeis only smiled slightly and missed the topic. Why does this make it overthinking.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while. There's no talk of anything.

Lyra remembered something, her mother-in-law said. That Moeis never really loved women before having offspring. So, like her Lyra started to believe it. Moeis' attitude is better for her, but that does not mean that love exists. Lyra couldn't confirm it one bit.

It seems Moeis has finished her meal.

"This is for you.."

"Ah? Hh... What is this?"

Lyra received a small navy colored paperbag. Inside was a rectangular box.

"Open up, I choose myself"

"Kalung.. wait.. Is this a diamond?"

A necklace with a small diamond that was so luxurious instantly stunned Lyra.

"Yes, it's from Italy. Let me put it on." she said stand up and take the necklace and put it on from behind.

Now the necklace is perfectly circular and is perfect for Lyra.

"I don't know if this should be used or kept. Moreover, this is exactly crowded." said Lyra worried.

By looking at it, you already know how expensive this necklace is.

"No problem. You must continue to wear it, because it has been fused with your beauty. You deserve and should look fancy…"

"Thank you. I really like it. But this is too much, you can give me something simple in the future.."

Lyra walked over to Moeis' chair and kissed her.

"Come home early today.can you?" pinta Lyra's.

Moeis looked at him.

"I'll try.."

Currently Lyra is waiting for the arrival of Becca at her home just to stop by. Becca had been eager to come and see the house she lived in with Moeis.

The sound of the gate open.

Lyra opens the main door and welcomes the arrival of Becca who also invites Olla.

"Well, am I the one I saw real? Your house is like a palace and look at the courtyard, and the beautiful garden." said Becca.

"Helo madam.." said Olla.

Lyra hugged them.

"Don't overdo it, and welcome. I'm glad you're finally visiting.."

"It seems we are the more pleased.."

They finally entered and gathered in the middle room. Becca and Olla loved to look around the house, furniture and paintings that looked beautiful.

"But, are you two just living in a house this big?" ask Olla.

"Of course not. Coincidentally just last night, the workers got a holiday for the next 1 week. And I decided not to hire another waiter. I also want to feel the calm. Because there's usually work there and here"

Becca raised her eyebrows.

"How many workers are there?"

Lyra remembered.

" It looks like there are 11 including waiters, drivers and security"

Becca and Olla were surprised not to play. But no wonder, do not pay 11 domestic workers. Moeis also has thousands of employees in her large company for payroll.

"Yes god. Max and I were still thinking about finding 1 maid to clean up the house. But it turns out that their salary is now very high because they have passed training at the agency. It made us rethink.." complained Becca.

Olla nodded.

"You're right, my family's driver has asked for a raise several times, but how else would my parents really need to be because they can't drive a car.."

"I think if you feel the need, it can be considered. I know Becca, you and Max can. You just need to manage your finances wisely. Even so, savings should not be lost to prioritize…"

"Ah, right. You're an accountant, I should have consulted you yesterday"

They laugh.

"That's right.."

After that they asked to go around the house and forced to see the main room space belonging to Lyra and Moeis. Just look at the door and not get in.

"You realize? You're the wife of a handsome conglomerate! Don't forget about it. And don't forget us, 'cause I'm so happy to have such a rich friend. Okay?" Olla.

"What are you talking about." replied Lyra laughing. This friend is strange when talking.

"Yes!! Let's get our kids together in the future. I'm going to give birth to a handsome and beautiful child so she deserves to be your daughter-in-law.."

Lyra hit Becca with a joke. They are now near the car. Becca and Olla already want to go to an event.

"Yes, yes, yes, give birth to the goddess of beauty so that I can bless your child with my child." replied Lyra confidently.

"Hahaha you finally burned my jokes, madam!" becca Sahut

"Ah come on, you'll soon miss the event"

"OK-okay. Thank you yes, already want house tour aka castle tour.."

Lyra shook her head watching their car pass out. There was only her best friend. But his mood was very good after their arrival.

As she was about to enter, Lyra saw the closed gate open again. Why did the security guard open it, while Lyra alone did not know the car.

Car door open.

"Sister. I'm coming"

Micah, Moeis' cousin she met last night at the supermarket, came out of the car door carrying a pink suitcase.

Lyra was confused to see it.

"Oh, yes, hi, Micah"

"Sister, I want to stay here for 3 days. Because Meidro was also hiking with his friends to East Java…"

"Hhh. m. yes, come in"

Look at Micah who just went in. Lyra didn't know how to behave. What's gonna happen next? Micah looked very cheerful and brave. And he guessed his age was only about 3 years different with him.

Lyra tries to contact Moeis to tell her that her cousin is coming to stay the night.

Seriate...
