Loving the Beloved of my Friend

The s3 eps 209

When the office clock came, Barra immediately came to Astrid's room. He was very anxious because Astrid's phone had been inactive. Barra felt very guilty for hurting Astrid.

When Astrid arrived, the room was empty. Astrid wasn't there. That means she went home first and avoided Barra. Barra's getting guilty. After that he went to the parking lot and turned his car into Astrid's apartment.

Some time later Barra has entered the Astrid apartment unit. Again Barra did not find Astrid's presence there. Where did Astrid go? Barra waited for Astrid to come home. But unfortunately, waiting up to 3 hours, the woman did not return to her apartment. Barra finally decided to go home.

Barra gets home almost 9 p.m. He even forgot his dinner just because it was waiting for Astrid. But the result is nil. When she got home, Barra was greeted by her mother who was sitting alone in the living room.

“Mama hasn't slept?” Ask Barra.

“Not yet. Mama has not nagntuk, again waiting for Mama's son to come home overtime.” Kay replied with a faint smile at Barra.

Instantly Barra felt guilty towards her Mama. She refused to be invited by Astrid to walk because she wanted to accompany her newly healed mother. But now he ignored his mother.

“Sorry Ma.” Answer Barra sissily.

“Nothing. Cleanse your body, then eat. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let Mama warm up first vegetables.” Say Kay.

Barra refused, not good. Because he hasn't had dinner yet. Finally Barra went into her room to clean her body and immediately had dinner.

Kay tried to be patient in taking Barra's heart. Actually, she found out from Bram that Barra had just returned from Astrid's apartment. Kay was disappointed that Barra did not comply with her will to sever her relationship with Astrid. So Kay decides to take Barra's heart until Astrid is completely distracted from her son's attention.

“What do you want to eat Mama get?” Ask Kay.

“No need Ma. Barra can grab by yourself.” Barra said she felt bad.

“Nothing. Mama pity Mama's children who are tired of overtime.” Say Kay.

Instantly Barra's heart slipped to see his mother who was so attentive to him. It feels like Barra can't help but hurt her mother's feelings. Barra admits that she did not obey her mother's will to break her relationship with Astrid. Barra was completely indecisive, choosing either to obey her parents' will or to maintain her relationship with Astrid.

***

A few days passed. Since then, the relationship between Barra and Astrid has been somewhat strained. The two also met very rarely and almost never. Barra who only had the chance to meet Astrid at lunchtime is no longer there. That's because his mother who often came to the office brought lunch for his Papa seklian biat himself. So Barra could only exchange news with Astrid through messages. It was also that both Astrid and Barra were still equally prestigious to admit their mistakes.

***

Today Jenny came home from the boutique with a few suits for her brother that will be used to come the Xavier company's birthday event tomorrow night.

The girl put on a pouting face. Because the brother suddenly asked to make a shirt. Jenny finally picked up some suits that were in her boutique for her brother to try. And lucky her brother has a very proportional posture.

The next day Barra came to the Xavier company's birthday party. Barra did not come alone but with Iqbal. A personal assistant who is very loyal to him.

The anniversary event of the company owned by Charles Darandra was held festively at one of the star hotels in the city of J. The company is a ranks of the top 10 successful companies in Indonesia. This includes Vito's own company.

Barra entered the hotel ballroom and was greeted warmly by Xavier and also Omnya, Mr. Alex. The party atmosphere is very lively and also luxurious. Barra and Iqbal soon joined several other successful entrepreneurs.

“Hai Bar, have you been here for a long time?” dhefin was also at the event.

“Oh hi! No, I just came.” Answer Barra.

Barra just remembered that Papa Dhefin's company must have been invited as well. So it's true that Dhefin is here too. But do not forget the beautiful woman with a simple but elegant dress. Her beauty is getting stronger. Who else if not Carissa, Dhefin's lover.

I don't want Carissa to nod. There's no way she's following Dhefin to the toilet. After Dhefin's departure, there is now only Carissa and Barra. While Iqbal looks indifferent standing behind Barra.

“Why are you avoiding me?” Ask Barra suddenly.

“Neither is ordinary.” Carissa tried to calm down.

“I appreciate you if you take care of Dhefin's heart. But please don't avoid me Carissa.” Barra said softly while holding Carissa's arm.

“Kak don't gini. This is wrong.” Carissa replied while trying to remove Barra's hand from her hand.

Carissa felt bad when seen by many people while holding hands like this, but unfortunately Barra seemed to not care. His hand was still holding Carissa's smooth arm.

“Kak please, don't be like this.” said Carissa again.

“Please Carissa give me a chance!” Pinta Barra's.

“What opportunity?” Asked the voice of the baritone that had suddenly appeared in their midst. And Barra took her hand off Carissa's arm.

“Oh, that's Fin. Opportunity for Jennybelajatr same Carissa. They both work.” Barra lied, but Dhefin still stared strangely at his best friend.

“Mas, I'm going to the toilet for a while.” Pamit Carissa is finally here.

For some reason when Dhefin had just come from the toilet he saw Barra holding his girlfriend's arm and seemed to be in serious conversation. And as she approached, she faintly heard Barra speak and asked Carissa for a chance. What really happened between the two of them.

“You remember your status right Bar? Can't you be sneaky behind my back?” Dhefin asked firmly staring at Barra's face.

“Oh come on Fin. You don't think no. I'm just helping Jenny who wants to learn a lot with Carissa.” Barra lied. But Dhefin remained silent.

Meanwhile, Carissa went to the toilet to relieve her nervousness when she was accidentally caught by Dhefin. Why does it feel like he is cheating.

Finished from the toilet, Carissa immediately returned to the event venue. While he was walking, accidentally there was a waiter carrying a tray containing drinks.

Carissa and the waiter were both unable to see until the collision was inevitable. Fortunately, Xavier, who was close to Carissa's position, quickly pulled Carissa's body so as not to be exposed to food spills.

Carissa's body is in Xavier's arms. Their eyes meet each other. Xavier looked in Carissa's eyes as if he had seen her before. But I don't know where.

“Darling, are you okay?” Ask Dhefin who has approached Carissa.

“Oh, sorry Mr. Dhefin. I was just helping your lover.” Xavier.
