"What do I need to know? Isn't everything clear? You threw out your best friend and hurt her. Julia, you don't have to look good in my eyes. I trust Sely, because I know her very well. He must have been so scared all night. I can't even imagine why you'd be so willing to leave him alone and throw him out in the morning. Julia, you really have no feelings!"
"It's over?" Respond Julia cold. He glanced at Ben who was not interested, then said slowly. Ben, no matter what Sely tells you, but it's my right! This is my home and I have the right to expel you! Do you want to know what your lover asked you for? He wanted to sleep in my room and then send me to sleep in the guest room. Saying fear of sleeping alone, but asking me to switch rooms. After seeing me reluctantly, she said that she didn't mind having to sleep with me. Hahahaha very funny."
Not giving Ben a chance to interrupt. Julia continued on. "I really want to know what she told you. Expel her? Right, I was hoping he would leave. But don't you feel so unnatural? He had just returned from Texas, but had not visited his parents' home. She cried for my family after I kicked her out? Ben tell me have you ever been to Sely's house? I'm his best friend but I've never even heard him tell me about his family."
Ben's eyes opened for a moment and descended. He seemed to think and ponder over all of Julia's words. That's all true, he's never heard of the Sely family.
Looking at Ben who was a little confused, Julia laughed even more confidently. He came down from the last rung and walked past his cousin. Sitting in the living room and looking at Ben who was still standing in confusion.
"You're sober now? Let me explain to you. She's trying to be queen in my house! How can a guest ask for my room and tell me to sleep in the guest room. How can a friend not visit a dying friend struggling between life and death? How can a friend get angry and upset just because I didn't pay for college and pay for the rent? Am I the mine? Am I a luxury asset in her eyes? Or am I the parent who has to do it all? Ben, do you expect me to keep quiet and look as stupid as I did a few months ago?"
Ben turned his body trembling. Her ears were clearly listening to all of Julia's words. His eyes that looked confused now lit up violently. He approached Julia, and raised his hand. "Julia, stop your bullshit! Sely can't be like that! No, he's a good guy. And it can't be like that. You have no right to demean him!"
Seeing Ben's stupidity, Julia froze. At first he thought his cousin would come to his senses. But he did not expect that this cousin would be so stupid that it could be used by Sely. Sely, the female fox.
"Oh, now you're standing up for your girlfriend and saying your cousin is talking nonsense? Ben, how stupid of you to believe in Sely that easily! Do you know, that all this time, he's been living off my father's money? From my inheritance!"
"No! deny Ben doesn't believe. "He's not like that!"
Seeing the rigors of Ben, Julia laughed bitterly and sadly. He looked at his cousin with a pitiful look. "You can close your eyes and ears with everything I say, but you should also know that Sely is not as good as you think. Sely, your girlfriend, she doesn't love you. He only uses you because his eyes will never be on you. And you should also know that she and Jordan have a disgusting affair!"
Plakkk!! The sound of the slap broke the slightly hot atmosphere into silence. Ben's hand was still up in the air. She saw Julia's face that had been bowed with hair covering part of her face. Guilt approached her when she saw Julia had no reaction at all to her slap. Until he put his hand down and lowered it slowly.
"I don't want you to say anything bad about her anymore! Sely, he won't be that low! And this slap, it should be waking you up!"
There was a pause of a few moments until the silent atmosphere dominated. Ben's angry breath was heard hunting even though his eyes looked regretful. He glanced at the hand he had used to slap Julia's cheek. Then turn to Julia who is still silent. Suddenly he felt that none of this should be like this. But right now his anger is so great that he can't budge.
"I'm leaving, and make sure you apologize to him. I don't want to hear you do that anymore" He just tried to walk away, before Julia's audible laughter made him stop and turn around.
"I apologize to her? Why should I apologize to the person who tried to fool me? You think I'll do it? What a thing that would never happen."
Ben was stunned, looking at that cynical smile, a fiery look of hate with the ripples of a huge wave of anger. But those eyes were staring at him cold and frozen. Pulling every cell in his body. Then burn it with the flames of anger. Julia, she had no idea, since when this cousin of hers could dominate and corner her with just a cynical laugh. Freezing his body with just a cold look.
"I'll remember a slap from you. Ben, when I open your eyes, then you'll realize how godly you are for being Sely's slave!"
And those words successfully provoked Ben. The man stepped up and swung his hand once more. "You!!"
Julia did not blink at all as her cousin's hand lifted in the air. He was sure the pain and heat would return he felt. He was even ready to fend off the slap, but in fact the hand did not even reach his cheek. But the words of a man sounded near his ears.
"Don't try to touch her!"
Julia and Ben turned to the origin of the voice. Jason was holding Ben's hand with a cynical look. That made Ben pull his hands rough.
"Don't interfere in our affairs!" Shouted Ben doesn't like it.
Jason ignored Ben's words and preferred Julia first. His eyes examined the white face not far from him, and his heart grew even colder since he knew there was a reddened hand line on the girl's cheeks. This guy has really slapped Julia!
Julia backed away and turned her face away. He touched Jason's soft shoulder. Makes Jason look at her. "I'm fine." I'm sure it relaxes Jason's eyes a little.
"Oh Julia, you're really great now.," Tegur Ben with a cynical smile. He remembered this man, only once saw, Ben had definitely remembered, that this man was the man he had met just a moment ago. "Julia, is she your lover?"
"Is that your business?" Greet Jason coldly. This guy, he didn't like it from the beginning. And the sense of dislike this time increased because he saw this man leave a slap on Julia's cheek. "Coward!" suddenly said.
"What are you saying!" Ben quickly lunges at Jason, and Jason tries to keep up. But suddenly Julia stood in the middle between the two of them.
"Stop!" Shouted Julia warned. He looked at Jason and shook his head. "Don't make a fuss in my house." Then he turned to his cousin. "Ben, stop your actions, I won't let you do anything more than this."
"You defended him!" Ben and Jason at the same time. It sounded compact with the same cynical tone. Making the two of them look at each other sharply and then throw away their respective disgusted gazes.
Julia looked at Ben and Jason. Then I chose to look at Ben for longer. "You're done? Now you can get out of my house."
Hearing those cold words, Jason somehow improved a little. He took a step back and smiled cynically at Ben who looked unacceptable.
"Julia, did you kick me out?"
"Did I ask you to stay?" reply Julia sarcastic. "You're really funny!"
"Selly's right. You really changed. You-"
"I am myself!" Denies Julia doesn't like it. "You have no right to criticize me and even command me as you please! All this time I've been quiet, but if he acts once more, then don't blame me for taking action."
"You're threatening him now! Julia, how much have you changed? Are you the same person? Are you-"
"So you still wish I was like before? Ben, you can ask me not to care, but you can't ask me to be a fool! If I were the same and unchanging person, then you would die rotting in prison! Don't forget, I was the one who let you go a few days ago!"
Ben was stunned, he lost his words. Jason hears everything and tries to digest the relationship. It seems Jason forgot that the man in front of him is Julia's cousin.
"If I were still the same person, then uncle wouldn't get all his property. Aunty will still be living in a cramped house, and I can confirm that I will let you rot in jail! So where's my change error?"
As the words escaped from Julia's lips, Jason looked surprised for a moment and thought. As the uncle, aunt and compare to the man said, he felt it all. This man is one of Julia's lovers. Or is he Julia's affair? Has anything been wrong all this time? But he quite clearly heard their conversation that looked very intimate.
Whatisthis? Did I misunderstand her all this time? this guy, is actually Julia's cousin and not her affair?
Ben looks confused with a confused face. His eyes moved with a confused face. His eyes moved slowly with open lips wanting to say something. But in fact, his voice seemed to sink and did not come out. His breath was even stuck in his throat. She didn't expect that everything Julia said would be related to her family.
"So don't try to criticize me! You don't even know me that well."
"Ju-Julia, I'm not trying to compare you to-"
"You can go now. Your stupid Juliam is dead! So don't expect that I'll come and apologize to Sely! Because I won't let anyone step on my pride again and again. Won't let anyone take advantage of it even if it crawls under my feet!"
Julia finished as she sharply glanced at the door and stared at Ben intently. He shook his head slightly for Ben to immediately leave his house. And finally, his cousin was only able to leave just like that. And the mood returned to silence. Julia turned her body slowly, looking at Jason who looked uncomfortable. He approached and asked quietly, "Did uncle also send you today? It's still very early."
