Both of their hearts were racing abnormally fast. Each of their eyes, looking at each other in chains.
One second, two seconds, up to the fifth second, there was suddenly the sound of someone surprising the two of them.
“Mr Edwin!”
Edwin who was still holding Kalala, then he turned to the source of the voice, and he quickly stood firm, looking at Shira and Jackson who were already standing there.
Kalala also woke up, and how surprised Kalala was when she found Jackson was here.
“You guys, what are you doing?” shira asked a little awkwardly, because before she only knew that Edwin and Kalala were busy putting up a tent.
“Ka-us, just finished installing the tent,” replied Edwin quickly, although embarrassed because he was in a situation and position that was quite embarrassing.
“What's all done?” shira asked, Edwin nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Jackson and Kalala's eyes steal each other's eyes, as if there are many question marks between the two.
“Then, this ... Jackson wants to talk to you, Kalala.”
“With me?” tanya Kalala pointed to herself. Shira nodded.
__
The two of them were already sitting on the sofa in Akash's study. Although Akash did not allow Jackson to borrow his study, but because there were important things he had to talk to Kalala, Akash finally gave his izin even if only 30 minutes.
“How about my offer?” ask Jackson.
Kalala fell silent, thinking back to Jackson's offers that were quite tempting for him. However, given Jackson's crimes against Shira, he makes her back to accept the offer. He knew Jackson was a cunning man who was after his father's property.
After thinking for a while, Kalala finally returned to give an answer.
“Sorry, Sir, I can't,” he said lowering his head.
Jackson was quite stunned to hear that, as he was quite unexpected, an ordinary woman like Kalala who basically looked like she needed a lot of money for her life, dared to refuse an unusual offer from him.
“Give me a logical reason, why did you reject my offer.”
Kalala looked up, looking seriously at the handsome face of the man in front of her.
“Lies,” Kalala replied seriously.
Jackson scrunched up both eyebrows.
“Lies?”
“Ya ..”.
“From the beginning I did not approve your offer, Sir. Because of everything you have to offer me, everything is just a lie. And I, do not want to risk my future, with a life full of lies just because of a wad of money,” he replied.
Jackson smiled sinisterly, rubbing his chin at a glance. He was quite astonished to hear the answer from Kalala's mouth, he also did not expect, the geeky-looking girl in front of him, could give a pretty telling answer to him.
“Ha ha ha ..” Jackson laughed crisply, in disbelief.
“Hm, quite logically as well,” she replied as she curled her lips down.
“You sure you won't regret it?” jackson asked, so that Kalala would rethink her decision.
“There is no reason for me to regret this decision, Mr.”
Jackson felt increasingly challenged, it turned out that this girl in front of him, far beyond his expectations. He thought, the girl with the background of economic deprivation would easily accept his offer. However, in reality Kalala was not that kind of person.
“Alright, if you are sure of your decision. After all, there is no reason for me to force you,” Jackson replied, breathing in as if resignedly, while raising a sad gaze as if some hope had just been crushed.
Hygiene ....
Both of them were silent in their minds.
Kalala looked towards the wall clock, which already showed at 18:15 pm, it was her sign, already about fifteen minutes they were in this room.
“If no one wants, you say again, I will come out, Sir,” said Kalala was about to turn around leaving Jackson.
However, Kalala's steps came to a halt as the woman was about to turn the doorknob, due to a question Jackson posed.
“If I start everything by heart, will you make room for me?” jackson asked, speaking loudly enough, hoping that there would be a happy answer from Kalala.
Kalala was silent, momentarily closed her eyes, and took a slow breath, then looked back.
“The room will open, for him who can knock it,” said Kalala then came out leaving Jackson alone.
Jackson was speechless trying to digest Kalala's words.
“The room will open, for him who can tap it?” he said repeating Kalala's words.
“Alright, then, I will try to knock on the door of your heart space, smart girl,” Jackson said earnestly.
***
“Why don't you go home?” akash asked not casually, to Jackson who until last night, the man did not leave his house.
“Isn't it natural, a sister pays a visit to her brother's house?”
“Who do you consider brother?” akash asked, furrowing his eyebrows together, as Jackson looked far away from usual.
Akash becomes suspicious, if his step-sister has other intentions and goals, if it has been acting like this to him. Because, Akash also knew, Jackson was most anti-d lingering with him.
“You are who else,” replied Jackson smiling intent.
Akash clucked irritably, he immediately to the point asking about the intentions and goals of his half-brother. “Say! What do you want huh?”
“Did you come here to tell your mother to spy on me?” ask Akash.
Because she remembered what Shira said a few days ago, when Akash was about to tell her father that Shira was pregnant, but Shira forbade her, not to tell her father about her pregnancy, because he doesn't want to if Asten Jackson's mother does unexpected things to him.
Jackson cackled crisply, hearing a question from Akash. “What is that suspicion of you to me?”
“You are always suspicious. Since you are not an easy person to trust,” Akash replied firmly.
Jackson nodded in understanding, as he also realized, Akash must have known that his mother often spied on him.
“Alright, it is up to you to believe me or not, which I must have come here because of my dealings with Kalala, not to spy on you, Akash,” he replied with a cynical grin.
“Sayang.” Suddenly, Shira comes near him.
“Honey, come on, the barbeque is ready,” he said, pulling Akash's arm out to the park.
“Hm, yes, dear, come,” replied Akash smiling.
Then they went out to the back garden.
“Jackson, you're not home?” shira asked as she realized that Jackson was following her from behind.
“Let's go, besides there are things I have to fight for first here,” he replied straightforwardly, then preceded the two of them to go to the back garden.
Shira and Akash looked at each other.
“Darling, your sister didn't have any evil plans for us ‘kan?” shira asked a little worriedly, because after all, she at least knew that Jackson was a sneaky and a little troubling.
“Let's just relax, honey, I'll always be by your side, take care of you. So, you don't need to be afraid of him,” Akash replied trying to calm Shira down, then gently rubbed the top of his wife's head while throwing her sweet smile.
