Harumi began to growl "Are you now starting to threaten me ?" Harumi's eyes flashed with an almost uncontrollable rage "Your game is over, Mr. Anton Riandra's"
There was a long silence, then Anton started talking and his voice was so fiery "The game has just begun, Rumi"
If Harumi hoped to make Anton soften, then he would be immediately disappointed because the man's answer was short and discouraging.
"I'm not Harumi anymore, we'll see who gives up first." He looked at Anton "Your threat means nothing to me, if indeed bloodshed will happen I am ready to face you"
Anton locked his gaze. "Well, your courage is incredible. I'm happy with all the surprises from you. But, what needs to be underlined, if you dare to play with fire behind me then REMEMBER, I do not hesitate to take you in the most painful case more suffering than Death"
Harumi was silent for a moment as she digested her words. Highlight the woman's gaze hardened "I'm not afraid of all your threats. Will See !"
Anton smirked cynically, then with an atmosphere of tension still felt strong between the two, The man turned in a hasty step taking the car keys on the nightstand.
He walked quickly, not even caring about Harumi anymore who was still standing stiff. The man exited the room without looking in the slightest at his wife, slamming the door in a loud voice leaving Harumi alone.
Harumi sat on the edge of the bed, frozen in silence.
The woman barely let out a single drop of tears from her eyes, despite the loud pounding of every word from Anton's lips on her.
But, that all just makes it stronger. His heart was no longer as weak as it used to be. Harumi will not be easily destroyed, will not fall a second time.
He will rise again every time he falls, He will stand again when all has begun to corner him.
His life was far more precious than being concerned about someone who would even take his life away instead of protecting him.
Harumi clenched her two hands tightly giving her the firmness within.
I have to get through this. Everything will go well.
The silence broke as Harumi's phone rang. He stared at the screen of his phone, it turned out that it was an incoming call from his mother.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Mom called at the exact moment where Harumi needed someone she could talk to in peace.
For a long time he had never spoken to Nami, they communicated only through short messages. Because Harumi is still not ready to talk to her mother who must be very worried about her.
"Hallo" replied Harumi quietly
"Cash, Rumi. I can finally hear your voice, baby"
"How's mom doing ? Dad, Takeru and Ben ? last time we told each other was about two days ago"
"Mother is waiting for everyone to go to sleep, then can contact you calmly. Everything's fine, every day I'm always asking you what you're doing, Takeru and Ben are asleep, you know the time difference in Bristol. You know, Ben is now busy playing with all the gadgets he was given as his Birthday Gift yesterday. A gift from Anton's boss. You remember, Anton's boss gave me a lot of presents back then. Ben forgot to eat, if it's playing."
Liam ? Harumi quiet. When the name came back to his mind. His heart pounded along with the name spoken in his mind.
The moment was still very clear when Liam gave many surprise gifts on Ben's Birthday. A faint smile landed on Harumi's pretty face.
Time stopped, everything went back to silence. His mother's voice sounded faintly in his sense of hearing, the world seemed to spin and the beat was getting louder as if giving a chemical reaction that Harumi could not understand even his figure did not exist. But, why does Harumi seem to get carried away when hearing about it.
"What's his name, Rumi ? Mom forgot. Even my mother hasn't thanked him. Hopefully one day you can meet him and say it directly because people are as busy as he is, still have time to pay attention to small things like this. So, I feel like I need to thank her"
"Liam's...Liam Seymour" With his heart banging against his chest, Harumi uttered the name.
Harumi misses him so much, from the look of his face that blushes even just saying his name.
Indeed, it has been three days since he left Penthouse, Harumi has not heard anything from him. Liam seems to just disappear from Harumi's life.
Even a short message was never received by Harumi from Liam. Just a piece of paper on the pillow was her last news. After that, there is no more.
The man seemed to want to stay away from Harumi, that was the first thing that came to his mind.
Every day, every time, he was always waiting for news from her. Hope his phone receives at least a short message from Liam. But it was just a futile wait.
There was not a single message and there was no incoming call from Liam. That made Harumi very worried, what happened to Liam ?.
Initially, Harumi took the initiative to contact Liam first. But, of course, Harumi abandoned his intention because he remembered now he was with Anton.
"How are you, My Princess ? Everything okay ?"
"Well, everything's fine. Ameera and her family received me well. They treated me very closely. All is well" Harumi's reply sounded stiff and vague. And it can't lie to Nami.
"Well, He is Good"
"Good ? but, mother felt that there was something strange about those words. Just Good ? " nami's voice changed
Harumi smiled weakly "Well, she's fine."
"You understand what Mom's question means, and that's not the answer I want"
"We're Okay"
"Where is he ? He is with you Now ?"
"No. He just got out. Mom, can we not talk about it now"
"Mom's just worried about you, Rumi. Reasonable. Please, whatever happens, open up to me. Don't cover everything by yourself, Iam your Mother. You can count on me, son!"
Harumi clasped the phone with trembling hands "All marriages are bound to face problems, and we are dealing with them together. You don't have to worry about us. We're Happy, still together"
Nami was silent, no response. The woman was surprised. In some time, the middle-aged woman simply closed her lips like a line. His mind seemed to be turbulent when he heard the words of his daughter.
"Mom, please don't worry about me. I'm Fine, Really Fine. Don't Worry ok"
Nami knows that Harumi is as desperate as she is.
"Actually my mother met Anton before his departure to New York at the Shop the other day"
"Yes, I Know. He told me. "
"Really ? so, what he said ? what did he tell you ?"
"Just talking about his decision to follow me here, nothing important anymore. He said it wasn't on purpose you met"
"Thats it ? Is he kidding ? Listen Harumi..."
Harumi immediately cut "Mom. I don't want to."
"But, dear Rumi...I want to tell you something. It's about..."
As Nami wanted to continue, there were footsteps coming from behind. It was Ben. Now that Nami is in the kitchen, Ben Tetiba wakes up and calls his mother with sleepy eyes.
"Mom, why haven't you slept yet ?"
"Oh God Ben, What are you doing ?" Nami was surprised to see her son wake up at this hour
"Thristy's mom, mom." Then Ben staggered open the fridge and took out his vanilla milk box, The ten-year-old boy in blue pajamas patterned on the spaceship poured his own milk into a glass and drank it.
"Mom, is that Ben ?"
"Well, he woke up thirsty."
"Mom, who is it ? Harumi's sister ?" with my eyes and milk marks still attached to his lips, he looked curious
"Ben, go back to the room okay. I want to talk to your sister okay."
Ben shakes.
"Rumi, I'll call you back. Ok. Ben wouldn't have gone back to the room if mom hadn't caught up with him to sleep. "
"ok ... Take care's. I Love you all"
Before ending their conversation, Nami orders something that makes Harumi not understand the intent of her mother's words
"Rumi, never trust anyone else. Especially those closest to you, one of your best friends. Cathy"
