Loving my Friend's Beloved

The s3 eps 200

Barra was very surprised when she saw Carissa was also in this cafe. more precisely surprised by the fact that Carissa was the woman who became Dhefin's lover. Barra's memory came back when the other day accidentally saw Carissa was getting into a car that he thought was not foreign. And sure enough that car is Dhefin's car that is none other than his best friend.

Carissa was sitting next to Dhefin. At first he was also surprised when he saw Barra. But when Dhefin introduced that Barra and Astrid were his best friends, Carissa was finally able to show her calm face and smile warmly at Barra and Astrid.

And Astrid too. The woman saw Carissa also like a stranger and had met before. Then he just remembered. At lunch in the restaurant. At that time Astrid saw Carissa was eating with her mother and sister Barra. And after that Dhefin said that his girlfriend is a designer. It's true they know each other. I don't know why it felt like something was in his heart.

“How's Om and Auntie?” Ask Dhefin suddenly.

“They're healthy. Come home, surely Mama and Papa are very happy.” Barra replied while occasionally stealing glances at the calm-looking Carissa.

“Yes, I'll come over there and meet Rissa on Aunt Kay. Both are designers.” Dhefin.

“They already know each other.” Barra said and made Dhefin a little surprised.

Barra then tells Dhefin that he actually knows Carissa. But just knowing ordinary. It was also from his sister and mother who had met and met the other day. Dhefin who was initially surprised and a little suspicious finally believed what Barra said.

“Not so Carissa?” Ask Barra.

“Ehm, yes Mas. What Kak Barra said is true.” Answer Carissa.

And once again, Dhefin felt that Carissa and Barra seemed familiar long and close. For hearing Carissa's call to Barra as Kak. But he didn't want to be so bad first. And Astrid too. The woman seemed uncomfortable when she heard Carissa calling Barra "Sister".

Suddenly, there was a sound of lightning striking which signaled that it would soon rain. Instantly Barra recalled the incident the other day that Carissa had experienced. He felt numb when he saw the face of Carissa who was already frightened when he heard the sound of lightning.

“It will soon rain. How about we better end our hanging out tonight.” said Barra.

“Indeed why? We won't be hungry either, right?” Ask Astrid for wonder.

“Ya too anyway. But for you Fin, you better get Carissa home soon before it rains.” Barra said and again made Dhefin and Astrid astonished.

“I'm fine Kak Barra. If the rain is better here first until the rain subsides.” Carissa.

Barra finally calmed down after listening to Carissa's explanation. Meanwhile Dhefin still kept the big Tanya mark on his mind about what his best friend had just revealed. Why does it seem like Barra is looking so close and knows everything about Carissa. While he who has been in a relationship with Carissa for a year has not been too knowledgeable about what was said by Barra earlier, even though they said they knew not long ago. Maybe Dhefin will ask directly to Carissa.

And sure enough, some moments later it rained heavily. The four of them had to postpone their return first until the rain subsided. Actually if you want to go home first, Barra and Astrid can go home since then, but Barra is reluctant. I don't know why he still wants to be near Carissa. Even though he knew that Carissa wasn't his.

***

Since her meeting with Dhefin and Carissa a few days ago, Astrid has been able to feel the changes in Barra. But when he asked Barra, the man only said that he was dizzy with his work. Astrid finally tried to keep believing. After all, his relationship with Barra has been established for 3 years. And it's impossible if Barra betrays him.

“Happy day Mr Xavier!” greet Barra.

“Good day too Mr. Barra. Um how about we both call names. Let's just be more familiar. Besides your age is older than mine.” Xavier friendly.

“Alright, it's up to you.” Answer Barra.

“And don't be too formal either. I'm enough you're all. Because during the upcoming meeting I will always be present. Om Alex has also given everything to me.” said Xavier.

“Ya already then. I agree.” Answer Barra.

Finally, the three of them started the meeting by discussing the cooperation they were working on. But they don't just talk about work. Barra and Xavier look very familiar. Neither Barra nor Xavier hesitated to tell about their families.

Then Xavier apologized to Barra for his discomfort during the first meeting with his cold-looking Papa. Barra didn't even bother him. He was just wondering why Mr. Charles Darandara is so different from Xavier.

“What do you not-janagn you are not Mr Charles' biological child?” Barra asked in a seductive tone. Xavier laughed at Barra's question.

“Papa is like that. Actually Papa is a warm and very loving person. And Papa turned cold like that when Mama died when I was 3. That's where Papa's nature is very cold to everyone. I also don't know for sure why Papa could be like that. Because until now I never knew about Papa's past before Mama died.” Xavier said.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your past.” Barra felt guilty.

“Nothing. I just want to tell you.” Answer Xavier.

Finally their meeting was over. Iqbal, who had been silent since then, became a loyal listener, but the man was not just silent. He has listened and recorded what important things have been discussed by Barra and Xavier.

“Ya already then I go home first. I'm waiting for your arrival to my office.” Xavier said before he got home.

“Yes, I'm definitely coming. I'll call you later.” Answer Barra.

After Xavier came home, Barra and Iqbal also immediately returned to the office because there was still work that he had not finished.
