Neighbor's Room

Hear Explanations

Nayra was still staring at her hand which was pulled by Rainer. They walked quickly to where Rainer's car was parked.

"Lake in!" said Rainer. 

Rainer who had opened the passenger car door, immediately turned his head and stared intently at Nayra. Inevitably, Nayra could only obey Rainer's words. He walked up to the car door and snuck into it.

Rainet closed the door a little harder. After which, he walked towards the steering wheel and directly opened the door. Without waiting any longer, Rainer went in and started the car.

Nayra was silent. He was really confused what to do. In fact, to speak even Nayra looks difficult. He was afraid that if he made a sound, Rainer would get even more angry.

Secretly, Nayra glanced at Rainer's hand, clutching the steering wheel tightly. In fact, Rainer's fingers look bleached so tight he gripped the steering wheel. Nayra could only bite her lower lip out of anxiety.

Until a few minutes later, Rainer first made a sound when the car he was driving stopped at a red light.

"Where do you know this man?" ask Rainer.

Nayra turned her head. "Eh, I-I mean Aaron?" ask Nayra to make sure.

Rainer looked over with a frown. "So the guy you mean Aaron is him?" Instead of answering, Rainer asked back.

Nayra who was still confused, could only nod her head.

"I-iya, Mom. Did Rain know Aaron?"

Rainer could only snort angrily after hearing Nayra's question. He did not answer until he restarted his car when the traffic light had turned green.

"Bastian Aaron Hadiwijaya. Also known as Bastian Hadi. He was my junior brother when I was in school" Rainer said suddenly.

Both of Nayra's eyes were instantly rounded. He turned his head towards Rainer by shifting his body until now tilted towards Rainer.

"So, did Mas Rain know Aaron?"

"At first, I didn't really see the face of the man you were with at the party. I think he's someone else. But, I didn't expect that man to be Bass."

"If you ask me, do I know that man? The answer is yes. I do know him. We know him by the name of Bastian Hadi. While still in school, he was also often called Bass."

Nayra just nodded her head. After knowing the fact that Rainer knows Aaron, he does not immediately answer Nayra's curiosity. He was quite curious as to why Aaron did not like Rainer. Or is it just his assumption? inner Nayra.

"Eh, w-does Mas Rain have ma..," Nayra had not yet finished her question. Rainer had already spoken.

"Yes. I had a problem with Bass. And I'll explain that to you. But, I ask that after you hear all my stories, never again get in touch with Bastian. Understood?" Rainer turned his head and stared intently at Nayra.

Inevitably, Nayra could only nod her head. Of course he did not dare to refute Rainer in this kind of situation.

And after that, no chatter ensued until Rainer's car started entering the hotel lobby that had been used for a corporate event a few weeks ago. Nayra's forehead creased as Rainer led her down from the car.

"Why come here?" nayra asked confusedly.

"Later noon there is an appointment with the client here," Rainer replied casually as he pulled Nayra's arm towards the reception.

"Good morning, Mr. Rain. Can I help you?" greet a receptionist as soon as see the arrival of Rainer.

"The room is normal and don't forget lunch" Rainer said, pulling Nayra's arm away from the receptionist without waiting for a response.

Nayra could only surrender while her hand was still being pulled by Rainer. However, just as the two were about to enter the elevator, there was a pair of eyes that looked at Nayra and Rainer. Especially when the hands are still tied.

"What the fuck?" said furious.
