Stela's PoV
I hugged Ara's little body, not knowing what was happening to me right now. I felt so messed up after seeing that kiss scene of the two guys. There is a sense of tightness squeezing the chest and also a sudden pain present in this heart.
Honestly, I don't like seeing them together. This heart is not willing to see the intimate closeness that occurs between them. This feeling I just experienced and I have absolutely no idea what it means.
Oh God, what is this feeling?
Armed with the curiosity that peaked, I took a cell phone in a clutch bag and typed something on an internet search.
I gaped in disbelief, where it was written that the meaning of my dislike of seeing their familiarity was jealousy. Then I hurriedly typed again, looking for why we could feel that jealousy and the answers I could make me freeze.
Of love?
Love says, jealousy is a sign of love. So I mean, I'm jealous of their closeness because I love Tristan, right?
Unbelievable.
I still could not believe it, so I re-typed on the search. I'm looking for signs of what love is like.
After I got it, I read it right away. Again I fell silent, from the eight signs of someone falling in love that I read, five of which I did feel.
My heart often thumped uncharacteristically if it was near Tristan's sister. The feeling of nervousness accompanied by cold sweat also often I experience when talking to him. Sometimes secretly I always pay attention to him who is on the move. When he complimented my cooking or whatever I did I felt very happy and determined to do more to make him happy. Lastly, I was jealous of her closeness to that haughty woman.
So it's true I've fallen in love with her.
On Tristan's brother?
I'm falling in love with him?
Thinking of this makes my body hot, my esophagus also feels dry. I need some water.

Author's PoV
Stela came out of the room, walking towards the kitchen to wet her dry throat. Until there he was surprised to see the appearance of Tristan who was sipping a glass of water up the toilet. The girl silently watched, how the water clearly passed through the throat of the man, how adam's apple moved up and down along with the sip of water, the sight did not escape the vision of Stela.
Damn, why is he looking so hot?
"Ela?"
The girl regained her senses as Tristan's voice entered her eardrum. He gasped as he saw that the man was now approaching. Spontaneous, he inched backwards.
"Ela?" Tristan stopped approaching when he saw Stela retreating away from him.
"I'm-I'm thirsty." Stela took the road beside Tristan, she opened the refrigerator and took cold water from inside there.
After a glass of water moved into his stomach, Stela immediately washed the glass he used and put it back to its original place.
"Good night, Brother."
Stela decided to return to the room first, she could no longer bear her heart beating wildly due to Tristan's presence who kept watching her.
"Ela, wait!" Tristan restrains Stela's wrist to keep the girl from leaving.
Stela stopped, but she did not look at Tristan at all, she could not look at the man's face at this moment. Especially after finding out if he is in love with the man.
"Elle..."
Stela closed her eyes, the voice shaking her heart. The gentle touch of Tristan's hand on her wrist made her blood rustle.
"What's wrong with you? Is there a problem?" ask Tristan to worry.
"Yes, I have a problem and that problem is you. Why should I fall in love with a man who loves another woman" Stela cried, which of course only expressed in her heart. The woman chose silence not to answer.
"So something's bothering you? You can tell me!" tristan.
"I'm fine" Stela replied in the end.
Tristan did not believe it just like that, he pulled Stela's shoulder to face her. His eyes stared intently at the woman, hoping to gain some honesty. But what happened, Stela just remained silent with her head lowered.
"I'm wrong with you?"
"No," Stela replied with a trembling voice.
"You're weird, El. Before we left we were still fine but why are you like this now. Are you mad that I just took you away from that party?" tristan asked who was getting frustrated at Stela's silence.
"No" he answered. "Because I really want to get out of there immediately especially after seeing you guys kissing" he continued in his heart.
"Then why?" Tristan shook the girl's shoulder slowly in front of him.
Stela who was fed up with being urged immediately raised her head and stared intently at Tristan.
"I told you I'm fine and you don't have to be busy taking care of my business. Whatever I do, whatever I feel, everything has nothing to do with you at all!" pekik Stela restrained. His face was reddened with anger mixed with shame.
"If I love you?"
Deg
Stela stopped breathing when the word came out of Tristan's mouth.
"I'm in love with you, Stela."
Deg
The stela that regained consciousness instantly jerked Tristan's hand that was still landing on his shoulder. "Nonsense" he said annoyed.
Deg
Seeing the disappointed look on Tristan's face left Stela in a dilemma. On one hand he felt soar when the man expressed love, but when the party kiss recalled in his mind, he felt doubtful. "Love me and kiss another woman? It doesn't make sense."
Stela inhaled a breath and then took it out. "I'm tired and I want to rest" she said, running straight into the room.
Tristan just silently stared at Stela's back that was getting away. Why is it like this? He thought by expressing love to Stela, she could become a little more open to him. But the opposite happened, Stela seemed to dislike and considered her feelings just a meaningless joke.
"Why falling in love and breaking my heart happen all at once" the man sighed in dismay.
While in the room, Stela cried while hugging Ara's body. He only cried in silence because he did not want to disturb the calmness of his little girl's sleep.
"What should mommy do, Ara?" before his sleepiness and tiredness led him into the dream world.
...🌺 🌺 🌺...
Tristan woke up from a sleep that was far from sound. His eyes kept awake at night thinking about the problems that occurred and only at 4 am he was able to fall asleep.
Arriving at the kitchen his eyes saw Stela who was already busy with her cooking utensils. There was no good morning as usual from the girl's mouth and Tristan didn't want to start either. He is afraid of being neglected.
The man chose to stay in the living room until Stela called him to eat. Whether it would happen or not, he could only hope.
Just as his butt landed on the cushioned sofa, the sound of a bell rang out, making him cluck in annoyance considering who came to visit early in the morning like this.
Cklekk
The apartment door opened and Jovanka appeared with her face down. He walked in without welcome. Tristan thinks his best friend must be angry because he left the party last night without saying goodbye.
Tristan arrived at the living room after closing the door, where Jovanka was sitting while folding her hands in front of her chest.
"Explain!"
Just as he sat down, the woman demanded an explanation of something she knew nothing about.
"Explain what?" tristan asked confused.
"That!" Jovanka pointed with her eyes something that had already been lying on the table, before nothing.
Tristan picked up the object in question which was apparently a recent tabloid edition with a date of today.
The first thing he saw was the cover of the tabloid with the headline;
Two top Indonesian models caught on camera kissing at a party.
"Shit's." Thrown from Tristan's mouth. He thought he was safe and there were people who photographed the incident.
"What can you tell me about this news?" sue Jovanka.
"What should I explain? The woman suddenly kissed me and told me she was getting carried away" Tristan explained.
"Are you telling the truth?" ask Jovanka with squeaking eyes.
Tristan, upset that her words are not believed, picks up a tabloid with a cover that shows her a picture and Vania kissing—ralat Vania who kisses her and shows it to Jovanka.
"Try to look carefully! In this photo, do I look like it, hm?" ask Tristan.
Jovanka grabbed the tabloid in Tristan's hands and watched the photo. It is true, in the photo it is clearly seen if Vania is the one who kissed Tristan and the man looks surprised.
"You know, when I realized that I was pushing him and asking him why he did all that. He said just getting carried away, of course I was furious to hear the explanation. Therefore, I immediately took Steka away from there," explained Tristan Long. Jovanka was amazed because only this time he heard the long words of his best friend who excited. But when something came to his mind, he handed the tabloid back into Tristan's hands.
"Try to go to page 7!" tell it.
Tristan instantly did so, and the writing this time made the man sigh heavily.
After kissing Vania Hermawan, Tristan Gautama takes a foreign girl out of the party.
"Ck..why do journalists like to interfere in people's affairs" he grumbled.
"Because that's their job" replied Jovanka casually.
Tristan is upset. "So what now?"
"We'll look at the situation first, if the reporters start to riot we'll have a press conference. I will also discuss it with Vania's side. The woman has created a troublesome scandal and she is obliged to come to the end." Jovanka was furious. "Oh yeah, where's Stela? Last night it was amazing," he continued.
Hearing the name Stela, Tristan bowed silently.
"You got a problem with Stela?" guess Jovanka after seeing Tristan's unusual reaction as she asks about the girl she lives with.
"I'll finish it myself, you don't have to worry" Tristan replied.
"Well, then I'll take care of it, there's still a lot of work to do." Jovanka got up from her seat. "And yes, don't forget to say my regards to Stela and the little one" the woman said before leaving.
Tristan nodded and escorted his manager forward.
The two of them did not know if Stela had listened to the conversation between the two of them. The regret in his heart for accusing Tristan of not-no, had also underestimated the man's feelings. Stela should have realized that this was all part of the scheming woman's plan to seize Tristan. Anyway, now he has to apologize and explain everything. Including the answer to Tristan's love last night.
Stela comes out of hiding to coincide with Tristan returning after delivering Jovanka.
The two of them looked silently, trying to dive into the contents of each other's hearts through the eyes.
"Sir/El!"
