MY LOVELY AUTHOR'S

TIME AND DESTINY BIND PART 3

            Narrator’s POV

            A figure in all black clothes arrived in front of a house. This time the figure opened the mask covering his face and looked towards a house with a smile on his face.

            “Because the warning I gave you is not that you are angry and does not at all keep you away from Arata, so to keep you away from Arata, he said, I have to give a harsher warning than before.”

            The figure walked up to a house and looked through the sidelines of the fence. From where he peeked, the figure saw the family inside the house celebrating something with a tart and lots of delicious-looking food on the table.

            “Dad, Mother and two children.” The figure counts the person sitting at the dinner table and celebrates the celebration of what it is. “Total complete. It's only a matter of time that I decided to come here.”

            The figure took out a match from inside his jacket pocket and looked at the match with a triumphant smile. The figure lit the fire from the match and then smiled looking at the blazing fire. “Should .. with the deaths of the four of them, you don't really feel like losing Author Wallflower.”

            Tong ...

            My apartment bell rings. I who was about to eat my breakfast paused my hand that was already holding a spoon full of one big mouthful of salad. I got up from the dining chair and walked towards the door of my apartment.

            “Who??”  I shouted to ask my guest this morning before opening the door.

            “It's me, Warda. Quickly open the door, Asha!”

            Recognizing the sound .. I immediately opened the door of my apartment and let Warda into my apartment.

            “August, Asha.” Warda immediately rushed into my apartment after greeting with both hands full of luggage.

            “This??” I stared confusedly at the four bags carried by Warda. “What did you bring up to this much??”

            Warda placed the four bags he carried on the kitchen table and took out the boxes inside one by one. Instead of answering my question, Warda just ignored me and told me if Sena would arrive soon. “Ah, Asha!! Sena will be here soon. He picked up some fruit boxes that were in the trunk of the car.”

            “I understand. I'll open the door for her right away.” I walked closer to Warda who was still busy taking out one by one the boxes he carried and peeked at what was inside. “Towers, crabs, beef, chicken meat and various types of vegetables. Where did you get this much food??”

            Warda took out all the empty boxes in my refrigerator and was surprised to find that my refrigerator, which usually still has a lot of food in it, now almost looks empty. “Tumben once you almost finished the food I brought you, Asha? Did I not visit you for too long until you spent it all??”

            I tilted my head in the wrong manner. The food ran out because Arata ate a lot of it. Since becoming Arata's lover, she often eats and cooks here. There's no way I'm saying that, Warda. Finally I just smiled back at Warda's question and didn't say anything because I felt like I shouldn't have told Warda. I'm afraid she'll be mad at me for giving Arata the food he brought me.

            Ting tong's.

            “Ah it must be Sena, Asha!!! Quickly not the door for him!” While Warda was busy taking out the boxes in my fridge and swapping them for the boxes she was carrying, Warda yelled at me for hearing the bell ring.

            I, hearing the bell and the cry of Warda, rushed to the door and opened the door. “Again, Se-“

            My words instantly came to a halt when I saw the figure standing in front of me was not Sena as I and Warda had anticipated.

            “Who are you greeting this early in the morning, Author???” Arata immediately nagged at me when he heard my mouth that almost mentioned the name of another person when he was the one standing in front of my apartment. 

            Buk. Warda dropped the box she was carrying as soon as she realized who was standing in front of my apartment door.

            “Again, Miss Warda.” Arata immediately greeted Warda. After greeting Warda, Arata immediately looked at me with a demanding look. “Who did Author say his name??”

            I glanced behind Arata and found Sena walking with two boxes with both hands.  The two boxes almost covered Sena's face and made it hard to see while she was walking. I raised my hand and directly pointed towards Sena coming. “I was about to say hello to Sena because Warda said Sena still has to pick up the fruit box in the trunk.”

            Because my hand is pointing towards Sena, everyone immediately directed their gaze towards Sena and made Sena who was aware of the gazes from all of us feel confused to immediately stop her steps. “Why are you all looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?”

            After that we all went inside my apartment and Warda was busy looking at his idol-Arata to the satisfaction. Warda even asked Arata a few questions and made me feel a little embarrassed.

            “As my friend Asha's lover, does Mr Arata come here often??” Warda asks questions like exclusive interviews that he often sees on TV.

            “Of course, Asha is my lover now. Of course I should visit him often. I'm afraid if I don't visit him, he'll disappear from my sight and my life.”

            Warda smilingly rolled one eye at me with the intention of teasing me. Seeing that Warda's actions, I can only curse inside my mind out of embarrassment. Damn you, Warda!!

            “Lalu ... as lovers, what have you done together? Where would you go if you wanted to date??”

            I widened my eyes to look at Warda, trying to stop this exclusive interview. But Warda who saw my reaction just felt more happy.

            “Because I'm still busy with my movie promotions coming out this weekend, so Author and I are only dating in this room. We eat together, watch movies together and sometimes cook together. Sometimes we just sit on the balcony drinking coffee and hot chocolate. Ah what a coincidence ... “Arata took something out of his jacket and gave him some tickets. “This is ten VIP tickets for the premiere of the Author novel. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite Miss Warda along with her husband and son, then Sena and someone you want to invite to watch together. How?”

            Warda rolled her eyes at me again. She took two tickets for herself and her husband. “Thank you very much, Mr. Arata. I will accept this ticket and this invitation as payment for the groceries you eat together.”

            I stared intently at Warda because of the innuendo he directed at me complete with a smile on his lips that was teasing me. “Warda!!”

            Arata looked at Warda with a confused look because he did not understand what Warda said. Then Sena took only one ticket and made everyone look at her with a puzzled look.

            “Why just one, Sena?” Warda asked faster than me.

            “There is no one I can invite to watch it. It's better if it's given to someone else than wasted if I take it.”

            “You don't have a boyfriend?” Warda asked again, this time with a more surprised face. “With a handsome face like this??”

            “Sadly so, Brother.” Sena replied with a slightly timid face.

            “What are the eyes of all single girls in trouble?? How did they miss a guy with a handsome face like you, Sena?” Once again, Warda opened his mouth to comment in defense of Sena.

            Drrr. My phone shook and I rushed to pick up my phone that was on my bedside table.

            “Who called you, Asha?” Warda asked again and this time it seemed like Arata also wanted to ask the same sentence.

            “No idea.” I shook my head at the sight of the foreign number calling.

            I picked up the call and suddenly heard a piece of news I never expected.
