After returning home from the hospital, Freya again occupied herself by going to campus and taking care of cafes and boutiques.
The days are back as usual. Only her work time is reduced as Lisa follows her everywhere, reminding her all the time to take a break and eat on time. That makes him sometimes tease Lisa by calling her “Mu”.
On the other hand, Yoga always comes and picks her up every morning, driving her to campus. By noon in the afternoon, the man was waiting at the gate, then swiftly drove Freya to the cafe. At night, he would come with his hands full of food parcels even though Doni always gave him an annoyed look.
Not to mention Lisa who always glares back whenever Yoga comes.
Freya doesn't really understand why Lisa hates Yoga. Though according to him Yoga attitude has been very humble, never mind the incident of beating by Lisa in the hospital. The man also never responds with emotion again even though Lisa always looks for it first.
That day because there was no schedule for college, Freya decided to go to the cafe since morning.
It's almost the end of the month. There are many reports and bookkeeping that should be checked. He was carrying a backpack containing a change of clothes, just in case he would be at the cafe until night.
“Hey, you're not going home?” Freya was surprised when she saw Lisa sitting in the living room, either looking at what was on the phone to the point of not being aware of her presence. Last night this chatty guy said he wanted to go home to see his dad.
“Already. I just arrived. Where are you going?” answer Lisa. Freya did provide duplicate keys to the apartment to make it easier to come at any time.
“Today not to campus, why not accompany your father at home?” Freya asked back.
Lisa shakes. His father's condition was much better. Expensive drugs and professional doctors are very different from BPJS doctors who have been handling their fathers. Indeed, the money spent is proportional to the results obtained.
“What are you reading? Why so seriously?” Freya approached and sat down next to Lisa.
“Oh, this ... jewelry products from Antasena Group's collaboration with Jewelry Inc leaked before release next month. Their designs are sold by competitors at cheaper prices. The model is exactly the same. Antasena Group must pay a loss of billions of dollars.” Lisa rubbed her phone screen, tracing the news down.
“In the meantime, there is another ... there was a work accident in one of the Antasena Group subsidiaries. Workers went on strike and demo. The victims' families are demanding 2 billion in damages. Crazy one! Ah, this again .. one of the cosmetic products marketed Antasena Group irritates the skin, demanded one trillion.” Lisa looked up and observed Freya's change in expression, but her friend just stared at her with a flat face.
“Isn't this a little weird? Your ex-husband shouldn't be that careless,” he said seeking approval.
“Since when do you like to read business news?” freya Syndicate. Don't know what purpose Lisa's saying?
“I ‘kan majored in business management, certainly have to read a lot of business news.” Lisa defended herself. He quit the business news forum, then logged into one of the online reading apps on his phone.
“See, this story was written by author Blue Ocean. The Substitute Bride For Young Master. I cried until my eyes were swollen after reading this damn story. I hate the author so much. Why make a story so sad? Makes my mood worse for more than a week. There is no story more sad than love separated by death.”
Freya just raised her eyebrows, as if she was asking “then what does that have to do with me?”.
Lisa cleared her throat twice before continuing, “You know? The main female character is named Kinara Lee, a girl who loves Alex Smith from childhood to adulthood. Their social status difference is huge, just like you and Mr. Boss. The difference, in this story, Kinara Lee insisted on accompanying Alex in any situation. She did not know she was pregnant, was injured because she always protected her husband, and died while giving birth. Alex lives with regret for the rest of his life for not being able to protect the woman he loves.”
There was a long silence created.
Lisa awaits Freya's reaction.
Freya tried to control her emotions. There was a strange feeling that made his heart surge for a moment.
A second later, he laughed and said, “That's just a fictitious story. Just for entertainment. You're so silly."
Lisa nodded quickly. “No, Freya. Maybe ... what Mr. Pram did for you .. maybe he just wanted to protect you.”
Freya rolled her eyes with a bored expression, lazy to serve this chatty guy. He got up and walked outside.
What happened with Antasena Group, what does it matter? If you want to protect, not by breaking his heart that has not been fully healed.
If there is still a sense of care in his heart, it may be because they have been in a relationship that is quite intimate. Not because of love, or because of any nonsense feeling.
He no longer believes in love.
Don't care.
Don't wanna care.
“Hei, wait! I'm coming!” lisa exclaimed as she got up and picked up her bag on the table, then half ran after Freya who was almost at the door.
Freya stopped walking and raised her eyebrows, staring at Lisa from top to bottom.
“Where are you going?” ask Freya.
“Where are you going?” Lisa asked back.
“Dating with Yoga. You want to come?”
“Long!”
Freya's eyebrows are rising higher and higher. He did not deny or accept the allegations.
The two stared at each other without anyone blinking.
Freya's laughter finally spouted. He can't take it anymore.
“You look like you want to beat Yoga to death. What's the matter, actually?” ask her in between her laughter.
Lisa bit her lips hard and screamed in her heart. He's asshole! Hypocrites don't seem to deserve you!
Until now Mr. Bayu is still unconscious. There is a sense of anxiety that settles, making Lisa can not live her day calmly. Every time waiting for news from Ruth who always changed phone numbers.
“Lisa?”
“Hm.”
“Tell me, what are you hiding? What about Yoga? If you don't tell me, how about I marry him then—“
“You want to marry that delinquent?!” Lisa glaring.
“What's really why? Now I'm single. Getting married to anyone doesn't matter, right?”
“Cannot! I don't agree! You can't marry her!” Lisa panicked. What the fuck married that hypocritical guy? Can't!
“Freya .. she is not as good as you can see. She is very cunning, she ..” Lisa bit her lip. How do I tell Freya?
“Dia why?”
“Just listen to me, he's no good. You can't have anything to do with her!”
Freya shrugged her shoulders, turned around and walked out.
“Frey, wait!” Lisa was chasing in panic. What if Freya really went on a date with that rancid bastard?
Lisa jumped in before the elevator doors closed. He glanced at Freya who was looking straight ahead, unwilling to look back at him.
“Freya .. are you angry?” tanyanya slow.
“Anged why?”
“Because I .. because I don't approve you with Yoga.”
“I'm not angry because you don't like Yoga. I don't like it because you banned me for no apparent reason.”
Elevator clanking. Door opens. Freya walked out. Lisa was chasing behind him.
Lisa's steps slowed down when she saw Yoga Pratama waiting in the lobby. Her appearance is so dazzling. With a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans, it really looks like a true reliability—which unfortunately looks quite handsome and charming.
Lisa sneered and rolled her eyes. He picks up the phone, silently types a message and sends it to the last number used by Ruth.
Mr. Boss should know that Yoga Pratama is getting bolder .. and Freya is getting less concerned ....
