Kian obtained his entry permit after saying that he was a private secretary from Arkan. Obviously, because this event is not for just anyone. Only influential people in the business such as shareholders are allowed to enter.
Kian circled his gaze across the room, looking for Arkan's whereabouts. Busy looking around, Kian did not realize bumping into someone until the drink he was holding spilled over the clothes.
"Dam. What'sthis?" the man was upset because his clothes were wet and dirty.
"Sorry sir, I didn't accidentally." He was still regretting his actions. Again he did a recklessness. I don't know how often he did. But this time it seems very fatal, because the person who accidentally hit Kian is Alex, one of the influential people in the Arkan business. The face of the 30-year-old man looked crimson with emotion as his hands flicked his dirty suit.
"Are you blind? Where's your eyes?!" Alex berated Maki Kian who lowered his head to hold the circle in the corner of his eye. He felt very embarrassed to be reviled in front of many people who were now staring at him.
"Sorry, sir," said Kian again in a trembling voice.
While the people who were there could only look at the incident with a headband. Feeling sad and pity at Kian, because Alex is famous for having a temperament.
"Basic is useless. How did you get in here with your shabby appearance." Alex took a breath before continuing his words again. "Look, because of a stupid girl like you my clothes got dirty!"
"Pardon me, sir. I'll clean it up." He spoke still with a trembling voice.
"What did you say? Cleaned it? Do you think this is a cheap shirt that just anyone can clean? You fool!!"
"STOP!!!"
The sounds of claps and the typical orders of Arkan baritones burst into the room. Alex, who knew the scene was aimed at him, closed his mouth. He was surprised to see Arkan suddenly snapping at him.
"What are you doing?" asked Arkan cynically looking at Alex intently. It's not usual for Arkan to speak so impolitely to her as a business associate.
"This stupid woman bumped into me and made my clothes dirty, look!" Alex shows her dirty clothes.
Hearing his wife called a foolish woman, Arkan inflamed. "What did you say?" Arkan clutched Alex's shirt collar until the man choked.
"What are you doing? Why is acting like this just because of this village woman?"
"You know? The woman you call that village is my wife!"
"WHAT?!" Everyone in the event exclaimed in shock, not least Kian. Even Alex's face changed pias after hearing Arkan's confession.
He grabbed Arkan's hand and whispered softly. "What did you say? Please let Mr. Alex go." Because of Kian's request, Arkan finally let go of his grip.
"You're not kidding, are you?" ask Alex to make sure. To be honest he was already starting to fear seeing Arkan's reaction like that.
"Sir Dan, remove this person's name as a shareholder in the company!" arkan's orders to Mr. Dan, but his eyes still shone on the man in front of him. "Now you know whether I'm joking or not."
"But, Mister-" Mr. Dan looks doubtful. Because after all he knew, that releasing one of the largest stocks, will be very influential on the company.
"I don't care what the risk is! I don't want him to join my company anymore!" arkan's orders are over. His jaw, hardened by emotion, seemed to be not wanting to negotiate.
Arkan's decision is unanimous. Make Mr. Dan sigh. "Well, sir," he understood.
Alex's face grew pale as he heard Arkan's words. Although he is one of the largest shareholders, but if removed from the Arkan company, then of course Alex is the one who will lose big. No other company would cooperate with him after this incident. Especially because it has dealt with the Wijaya family.
"I'm sorry, it's wrong I didn't recognize your wife. Please don't remove my name from your company" Alex asked with a face of compassion.
"Please forgive me, Miss. I'm really stupid!" Alex looked at Kian. Hoping that the woman would melt down and be able to persuade Arkan not to remove her.
Kian who had been holding Arkan's arm so that the man did not do recklessly swing his hand. Showing a pleading face.
"I'm doing fine. There's no need to erase her name just because of me. Remember Dad's message, he doesn't want you to make a mistake in the company after marriage, or he will tell you to end this marriage" Kian recalled.
Aye! The threat of the father who will end his marriage if he makes a mess, making him unable to dwell. On the one hand he does not accept seeing Kian insulted, but on the other hand, he does not want his marriage to end.
Arkan shouted in frustration in his heart. For the sake of marriage, he had to give up this time. "Okay, since my wife is asking to forgive you, then I will let you go this time. However, I love my wife so much, if anyone dares to insult her once more, I will not hesitate to finish her off!" Not just for Alex, Arkan suppressed his words to everyone in the room as a warning. Anyone who dares to harass his wife, then must be ready to face him.
"Thank you, sir, Miss." However, only Kian responded to Alex's words with a nod. Alex wants to greet Kian as a thank you, but Arkan's eyes have already highlighted him with a spotlight of killing. Makes it undo the intention. The people who had been watching the incident had dispersed before being exposed to Arkan's spray of anger.
"I'll go back to the room" Kian said after things improved. His arm was also removed from Arkan's arm.
"I'll take you," Arkan said later.
Kian gasp. "Eh, No need! I'll just wait for you in the room until the show's over."
"For me, the show's been over since the mess."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Seeing Kian's gloomy face from feeling guilty, Arkan sighed. "Here you go, none of this is your fault. Let's go back to the room!" ask Arkan to extend his hand.
He stared at Arkan's hands and face alternately for a split second. Then smiled, "hmmm," he replied while accepting Arkan's hand enthusiastically.
They walked past the people who could only glance at them from the tail of the eye. Not daring to look directly let alone comment. But in their hearts, there was admiration for the couple. Beyond a doubt, Arkan admitted that he already had a wife, and he also seemed to love his wife. Really a dream guy!
"You want to go home?" ask Arkan while loosening the tie ties on his shirt collar. While Kian sat on the edge of the bed watching Arkan's movements.
Suddenly the bead of the eyes sparkled like it wanted something. "Can we just stay here last night? I want to enjoy this luxurious room only once," he said in an anxious tone.
"If you like it, I'll get people to turn our apartment into something like this" Arkan replied casually. He sat down on the sofa next to the bed.
Arkan chuckled small. "You really don't want to lose, yeah!" Just grinning to respond to it.
"Alright, we'll stay here as long as you want." Arkan took off his shoes and moved. "I'll take a shower for a while" he continued walking towards the bathroom.
On the bed, Kian lay down his body that felt tired. His mind drifted back to recall Arkan saying he loved her very much.
Does he really love me? Or just to keep my pride in front of his colleagues?
***
Kian came out of the bathroom with a pajama towel wrapped around his body. His wet hair he dried by rubbing a towel in his hand. He did it because his hair did not dry.
"Come here!" Arkan who was sitting leaning on the edge of the bed, patted the side next to him. Tell Kian to come closer.
Instead of approaching, Kian just pegged in his place. He hesitated to approach Arkan or not. Being in the room together in a new state out of the bathroom is not a good idea to be close to the man he thought. What if something happens? Ahh how is this?
"You didn't hear?" Arkan's tone began to sound dislikeful. Slowly, Kian walked up to the man.
"Sit down!" His orders glanced at the side next to him. Dependently.
Then Arkan opened the nightstand drawer and took out the hairdryer from inside. Grabbing her hair and starting to dry it. While combing with fingers, Arkan occasionally smelled a scent coming out of Kian's hair. Making his passion instantly turbulent.
While Kian was surprised to find Arkan's treatment very romantic according to him. Jemari Arkan who gently combed her hair, had several times touched her nape. Sontak, make him creep. It was as if an electric shock had spread throughout his body.
"May I ask you something?" ask Kian to divert his heart beat.
"No!!" sahut Arkan fast. For some reason, it seems he knows what Kian really wants to ask.
"Did you really mean what you said on the show or just want to protect me?"
"I told you not to ask!" arkan snorted.
"Let's answer!" whinek Kian.
"What?!" Pretending not to know.
"So, when you say you love me, is it real or is it just acting to protect me?"
"You think?"
"Eitherway. My heart says it's real, but my brain says it's just acting," the murmur becomes upset that it can't understand itself.
"Basically, your brain was a fool long ago!" arkan Cibir. He tidied up the already dry hair by combing it slowly.
Kian blurted his lips without Arkan knowing. "So that means, is it real?" He turned his body to face Arkan, looking into the man's eyes to be sure.
"Is your brain really unable to think?" arkan's taunts that pissed Kian off. He wanted to move, but Arkan held him back.
"That's real," said Arkan for sure.
Kian looked back at Arkan who was looking at him fixedly. Their views clashed without anyone opening their voice at all.
"Now I know." Talked first.
"What?" ask Arkan not understand.
"Because I don't trust people who say you like me."
Arkan's forehead is wrinkled. "Why?"
"Because it wasn't you who said it yourself," replied Kian innocently.
Arkan smiled thinly but very sweetly. "So, now you believe?"
Kian nodded. "Hmmm. Now I believe." A smile was etched on his face.
Arkan grabbed Kian's chin and kissed him softly. However, the kiss did not last long as Arkan's body suddenly shook. Cold sweat poured down from his temple.
"What's going on? Why is your body shaking?" tanya Kian panicked to see Arkan's condition like a fever person. His body is not hot.
"I'm fine" he replied, taking his eyes off.
"Wait, don't-don't?" Kian looked surprised. He immediately closed his wide-open mouth.
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
"Is it true that you never kiss once?" ask Kianback with a slightly mocking tone.
"Ck. Although I'm a bitch, but I'm not a jerk who's gonna kiss a lot of women!"
He laughed inwardly as the man in front of him admitted that he was a bitch. But he was also stunned to hear the next confession. Without Arkan knowing, there is a feeling of pride that is increasingly directed at the man who has now become her husband
