Neighbor Husband

Episode 30 - Why Not Me?

"Hello? Luke? Where are you? What's up?" Satria's tone turned to panic. He heard the boisterous sounds of people chatting and music pounding.

"I... L'm... At the party accompanied... "

"Share your location, quick. I'll pick you up now" exclaimed Satria. He heard Luke's voice crying.

The tling! Soon, a message from Luke is received by Satria.

"Villa Queen Kencana, Block A Number 13? This is Attorney General Setiawan's House. Thank goodness it's not far from here" Satria said. He turned his car to the location in question.

"I thought something must be wrong with Luke. He always refused every time I took him to the crowd. But why would he be at the party of a famous prosecutor?" thought Satria.

*****

At the birthday party

Lukman began to panic, not finding Luke where he left off before picking up the phone. He widened his gaze around the room to look for his companion.

"What's wrong with Luke? Since then, it has looked strange. I shouldn't have to forcefully accompany me here" Lukman said, feeling guilty. He's circling the whole room.

Luke's phone hasn't been picked up since, making Lukman even more agitated.

"Ah, is he going to the toilet?"

Without a second thought, the young lawyer headed straight to the female toilet area.

"Sir, can you please check in, right into? There's a friend of mine in a blue dress, reddish hair. He was a bit unwell" asked Lukman to a waiter standing guard in front of the toilet.

"The toilet is empty again, brother. The last woman to come out of here was wearing a red dress and black hair" said the maid.

"duh... Luke... Where the hell are you?" lukman complained while trying to call Luke back.

"Hello?"

"Where is your luke?" ask Lukman.

"I... Front garden.. I'm..." Luke's voice sounded very weak and claustrophobic.

"Don't go anywhere, wait for me there" Lukman said as he ran.

"Hey, Lukman. How are you doing? I haven't seen you in a long time since I graduated. You've successfully passed the bar exam, have you?"

Two young women and a man confronted Lukman who was about to leave. They were Lukman's college buddies in law school first. But unlike Lukman, two of them passed the bar exam a year after graduation, and another worked in the prosecutor's office as a PNS.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. My partner is in need of me outside" Lukman said. His heart didn't calm down until he found Luke.

"Duh, that's so arrogant. If you are not close to high people at events like this, you will be difficult in your career" said one of them.

"Sorry, Bella. Next time we talk," Lukman said as he hurried away.

"Well, if he's dealing in the prosecutor's office, I won't help him" Bella muttered.

"Dude, Bella. You still have a crush on Lukman, huh? Baperan really?"

"What the hell, Luna," Bella was getting upset.

*****

"Sorry, who is it? Any invitations?" a guard held Dede who was about to enter the gate.

"Oh, ada. Here, I am from the law firm R.U" Dede replied.

The guard checked the invitation photo on Dede's phone.

"Duh, really long, anyway," Dede's mind was impatient.

"Okay, please come in. His motorcycle could park on the side" the guard said later.

"Thank you" said Dede hurriedly.

"Are there boss guests who use motorcycles?" whispered the guard one more.

"That's it. The invitation is genuine, really. The barcode can be read," said the first guard.

After parking a motorcycle assisted by several servants, Dede immediately ran to enter the house that became the location of the event.

"Damn! I'm late!"

He barely recognized the woman. His clothes and makeup were much different than what he used to see. Real pretty.

"That's the guy who drove Luke that night. Why is he here?" muttered Dede annoyed.

His chest felt sore to see the red-haired girl go and be saved by another man and not him. And why at the time when Luke was so beautiful and helpless?

"Why is it always this way? I let Luke go when he was so weak and helpless. I let him hurt again, "inner Dede endured the pain in Dada.

"Dede, have you arrived? One of Luke's close associates has brought him home" Lukman said.

"Who is he? You knew her?" ask Dede's angry.

"Hey, calm down Bro. He's Luke's hometown friend. Even the host of this party knew him well" Lukman replied.

"Can't be like this. I have to follow them. I won't let go of Lukella anymore, "inner Dede.

Dede hurried to get his motorcycle. He had to follow the Lamborghini Veneno's car away before it got too far. He doesn't know if he has any good or bad intentions for Luke.

"Aren't you going to the party, Mom?" ask the waiter who helped him park.

"Gak" said Dede and then confirmed his motorcycle.

"Comm, Dede... Where are you going? You're not listening to me?" exclaim Lukman.

*****

"Have I been far away? Where'd they go?" mummified Dede.

It's through the main road leading out of this elite housing complex. There was no sign of that fancy car up ahead. Dede began to hesitate, where should he go at this time?

The reddish light on the right blinded Dede's eyes. Spontaneously his head turned towards the light source.

"Ah, that's them."

Without a doubt, Dede immediately followed the dark blue metallic car.

Dede kept a safe distance, so they didn't realize they were being followed.

"This road, it seems to lead to a contract," murmured Dede.

Although rarely through the paved road, he was convinced that the end of this road led to the main road in the city, bringing them closer to the contract.

It turns out that Dede's guess was right. Ten minutes later, the luxury car turned into their rented alley.

"I just found out that the road was going to the suburbs as well. And it turns out that the man actually brought Luke home" Dede murmured. He was watching from far away.

Luke got out of the car and got Satria to the house. The girl had realized.

Before long, the two young men entered the house and closed the door.

"Damn it, what do you want to do with them?"

Dede moved from his hiding position. He pretended to have just come home. Though his intention, wanted to observe Luke and the man up close.

"I'm home. If there is any phone. Satenya do not forget to eat," said Satria.

"Yes. Thank you, yes. I'm sorry to bother you" said Luke.

"Huh? Already out? There hasn't been a minute," Dede's inner.

Now his motorcycle is directly opposite Satria. Dede behaved naturally, as if he knew nothing.

"Dude, can I talk to you for a second?" satria told Dede.

"Yes?" Dede pretended to be confused.

"I don't know who you are or what your problem is, but you've been following me since?" ask Satria.

Jing... Jing...
