LOVE AND REVENGE LIONA

CHAPTER 8. NEW HOUSE

In the VIP room that has been ordered by Seth, there are various delicious foods.  But the food that seemed appetizing was not able to arouse the appetite of Veins. “Do you feel unwell?” Seth asked with a attentive look.  He felt that Vena was thinking about something ever since she came back from the toilet.

“No I'm not sick.  Maybe because I'm still jetlag I have no appetite.”

“Eat a little, your body is starting to look a little thin lately.” Seth persuades his lover while thrusting food into Vein's mouth. “You have to eat, I know you maintain your body shape but you have to be healthy if you want to have a successful career.  Don't torture yourself too much as an artist, my money is enough to finance your life.”

“I want you to feel proud of me!” reply Vein tightly holds Seth's arm in flirtatious “I want everyone to know that Seth Aristide's girlfriend is a successful woman. I want you to be proud.”

Seth took a deep breath “Alright..if that's what you want, I can't do anything.” Vena smiled in Seth's arms, but her mind floated again the moment she went to the toilet, she accidentally saw a woman who looked a lot like Liona!

It was impossible for that woman to be Liona Sarabella Gantari. But it looks a lot like a betel in two.  His facial lines and voice were exactly the same, only his behavior and body structure were different.  The Liona she knew did not like fancy grooming, her body was thin and shapeless.  But, the woman he met earlier was very beautiful, elegant and good at speaking like a high-class woman.

Nah! Nah! I must've seen it wrong, it wasn't Liona.  Isn't he dead? I saw it myself at that time. It can't be Ilona, sure! I threw it into the abyss four years ago! Is he safe? Is there anyone helping him? But it's impossible! He wasn't breathing anymore when I dumped his body. What the fuck? Why am I thinking of that village girl? Veins cursed in the heart.

The sun had already set, Liona had just finished their dinner.  Hiro escorts Liona and Elvano to a rented house.  When crossing the city of Jakarta that has changed a lot in four years.  Liona felt alien to the city, where she was born and raised but bore deep wounds in her life.

“Mama, is this city where mom lived for twenty years?” ask Elvano.

“Iya, darling.”

Elvano sat on Ilona's lap while looking at the atmosphere of Jakarta at night, with neon lights flashing outside. “Do you like this city?”

“Iya, mom. I really like it!”

“Ohya? Why do you like?”

“Because it's the hometown of mama.”

Liona hugged Elvano tightly and peeked at her chubby cheeks.  I'm so lucky to have such a cute and considerate child like this?”  Lione felt herself blessed! After the car they were driving arrived at the entrance of an upscale housing estate, Hiro took out the card he had obtained from the property agent and showed it to the security guard.

It looks like the housing has a high security standard that makes Ilona feel relieved. Three more days he'll audition and if he passes then he'll be working soon.  That means he's leaving Elvano at home.  After getting out of the car Hiro helped them get all the luggage and brought Ilona into a fenced house.

He also saw some sandals in the shoe rack “Hiro, once again I thank you for your help this once. Oh...if I marry you, is that enough to repay all your kindness?”

“Liona!”

“Iya, what's up?”

“Do not pretend to be sincere, I almost believe in your words.” scoffed Hiro.

Liona smiled shyly and said “Do I look insincere when I say it?”

“What if we ask Elvano?” opinion Hiro turned towards Elvano.  The boy looked at his mother's face and replied “Mama looks fake,” heard her son Liona speech was silent.  He pulled Elvano down from his carrier and the boy ran towards the sofa. Liona took the sandals from the shoe rack near the front door.

“Oh, yes. I've bought you guys some groceries. There are fruits too, try to check if there is still something you need.  After this I take you to the supermarket,” Hiro said following Liona to the living room.

“No need, Hiro. All is enough, you have even given me more.” said Liona sitting on a soft sofa.  He grabbed a pillow and took a deep breath. “If we have a lot of money, everything will be easy.  All can be set with money.”

“Means you have to make a lot of money and pay me as soon as possible.” Hiro tease while laughing.  “Take this and learn.”

“What book is this?” asked Ilona with furrowed brows.

“It was the book of the Third Wedding.  A book that is much loved by the public because of its interesting story. Because you're not officially part of the crew yet so you haven't gotten a script.  The TV series will be made according to the book, so I think it is better that you start reading the book and learn the characters you will play later.” Hiro Abirama explained.

“I really hope you can explore the characters in the book, will help you greatly during the audition later.”  As soon as they started talking about acting, Ilona's eyes immediately turned serious.  For the past four years, acting has not only been her hobby but her main job, she would not have been able to survive in America all this time without working as a supporting actor in several series.

Liona immediately opened the book and began to read it.  She will play the third supporting role which is a beautiful female character who enters the married life as a cunning and evil seductress with a plain face. Her name is Miss Rosalind.  A beautiful and innocent-faced woman, with her appearance she was able to attract the attention of a wealthy billionaire who already had two wives.  Since meeting with Rosalind who works as his secretary, all the attention and love of the billionaire was spilled on him and forgot his two wives. 

The character was very much in line with Liona, currently she returned to the homeland as a beautiful woman who wanted to avenge her sister who had taken her lover and killed him. The character description in the book is very similar to him.
