Loving the Beloved of my Friend

The s3 eps 208

I don't know why today Barra's mood is really chaotic. He should be happy because his girlfriend has returned to the office after a few days off. But unfortunately Barra is very upset with Astrid's own reckless attitude and feels innocent. Not to mention Carissa.

It is precisely the name Carissa at this time that fills Barra's mind. Why after he took the woman's first kiss, made Barra want to have the woman completely. Though he knows the fact that Carissa is the lover of his sahaat. He took Carissa from the hand of Dhefin, his best friend from childhood. And what about Astrid.

Tok tok tok tok

“Excuse Me Sir. There are guests who want to meet you.” Iqbal.

“Who?” Barra asked, not feeling like she had an appointment with someone.

“Mr Xavier.” Answer Iqbal.

Barra asks Iqbal to let Xavier in. He also does not know the purpose of Xavier's arrival to his office.

“Good Morning Mr Barra!” Sapa Xavier who just walked into Barra's room.

“Ck.. I am not your master.” Barra clucked in annoyance and was met with laughter by Xavier.

Finally Xavier sat on the sofa in Barra's room. Xavier gave Barra an invitation. The company's anniversary invitation as well as a meeting with several entrepreneurs that will be held next week at one of the star hotels in the city of J. Xavier should have given the invitation since his company officially cooperated with Barra's company. Only then did Omnya say that his invitation would be given to Papa Barra. And when Omnya was on a business trip out of town, so she forgot and finally gave it to Barra.

“You can bring your lover!” xavier said teasingly.

Barra just clucked in annoyance because it was impossible for her to bring Astrid to such a big event. Because all this time the relationship was strongly opposed by both parents.

“Ok ok I get it. Yes, you have come alone, no problem. Later I will accompany your solitude.” Tempt Xavier and got a ballpoint throw from Barra.

After giving the invitation, Xavier finally said goodbye to return to his office because he also still had work that was not completed.

After Xavier's departure, Barra sees a message from Astrid inviting him to lunch outside. Barra massaged his temple. I don't know why he's still mad at his girlfriend. But Barra keeps replying to Astrid's message and is willing to have lunch with her.

Lunch time has arrived. Barra came out of her room to get to the parking lot to pick up her car. Astrid was already waiting outside the office, the usual place she was waiting for Barra. After Astrid gets in the car, Barra immediately drives her car to their favorite place. There was no conversation between the two of them. Astrid thinks Barra's silence may be dizzy with work. While Barra is still upset with Astrid's actions.

Barra and Astrid were sitting next to each other after the waiter recorded their menu.

“I miss you so much. Later tonight we go yuk.” Take Astrid with a spoiled sling on Barra's arm.

“I can't. Must nemenin Mama at home.” Answer Barra flat.

“And there's Jenny Bar. So spoiled is your mom. I also see you every day.” Answer Astrid pout.

Barra was very surprised to hear the words of her lover. All this time she knew Astrid was a very polite woman. Even he always relented or just kept quiet when discussing about his parents who still did not approve of his relationship. What's with astrid actually. Since a few days off from work, why has his attitude changed.

“Mama out sick and opname. He asked me to accompany him at home.” Barra replied, trying to calm down.

“Ck, you don't miss me. it's not your priority now.” Astrid was really upset with Barra.

“Create what your Mom looks like. You know for yourself that your parents do not like me.” Astrid replied.

“At least you should also try to take the heart of Mama and Papa. It's not just me who's fighting.” Barra.

Then Astrid fell silent because she could no longer support Barra. Barra also did not think with Astrid who seemed to not want to fight for her relationship. Suddenly as they kept quiet, two people came to their table.

“Wah y'all lunch here do not take a trip. We join ya, you will pay Bar!” said Dhefin who suddenly came with Carissa.

“Yes, you guys please sit.” Astrid answered sparkling.

While Barra was just silent but his gaze was fixed on Carissa who was bowing her head. Dhefin ordered food for himself and Carissa.

The four of them enjoyed their lunch in silence. Barra's eyes had been watching Carissa who didn't want to see her at all. Barra remembered with Carissa's words yesterday “There is a heart that I must take care of”. I don't know why Barra still thinks about it. That was Carissa's love for her best friend.

While Astrid had been secretly watching Barra who was not focused on her food. But the focus was on the woman sitting right in front of Barra while bowing her head. Astrid suspects that Barra would betray her. The woman shook her head slowly hoping that none of this would happen.

After lunch, the four of them returned to their respective places. Dhefin will escort Carissa back to her boutique. Barra and Astrid return to the office.

“Bar, do you still love me?” Astrid asked suddenly while on her way back to the office.

“Not a problem still love or not. I beg you we can fight together to get the blessing of both my parents.” Answer Barra.

“How about we elope?” Ask Astrid.

“You don't be silly. You haven't fought yet but you've given up. Please you understand. You know, the cause of Mama's hospital admission was asking me to cut my ties with you?” barra said because she couldn't take it anymore.

Astrid was shocked to hear Barra's words. Should Barra say everything to her without seeing her feelings that were currently so hurt. Indeed, he knew that the two Barra parents did not like it but Barra should not have spoken like that.

The car that Barra was driving had reached the basement. Astrid immediately opened her seatbelt and rushed out of Barra's car without saying anything. Barra shuffled her hair in frustration realizing that her mistake was too cornering Astrid.

“Arghhhhhhh stupid stupid fool!!! I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.” muttered Barra alone.

After that Barra got out of her car and stepped into her room. Maybe when she gets home from work she'll apologize to Astrid.
