Oh My Saviors

Chapter 20: Jealousy?

Arra seemed to put his ears fixed he did not want to miss a single word of answer from Darius. Khanza smiled faintly at the reaction of Arra who immediately pretended to do something else due to embarrassment of being caught eavesdropping.

"Oh, she's Elma my old college friend." Answer Darius.

Khanza mangosteen, in his heart he hesitated whether to ask again or not? However, the gesture Arra gave made him again dare to ask, "are you guys dating?" Khanza immediately asked at his core, making Darius instantly turn his head with a frown.

'Well, it seems like I asked too soon, is he going to misunderstand ya?'

"Sorry, if I'm too presumptuous, if you won't answer no papa." Khanza immediately broke his question fearing to offend Darius.

Darius chuckled softly, "it doesn't matter just relax, he's not my girlfriend. She came to give her engagement invitation, we used to be close in college, so yeah that's just our relationship." Darius answered without a hitch.

"Bay the way, why do you seem so curious about that woman? What's up?" Darius smiled mischievously.

'Uh, did he misunderstand? This is all because Arra.' grumbled Khanza in the heart, the person who was only smiling thinly, on his face looked so relieved, as if the burden on his shoulders had been lifted perfectly.

"No, I'm just curious." Khanza was confused as to what to say.

Unaware of Khanza and Darius, Nic notices the two who seem familiar with each other, there is a slight dislike when Khanza and Darius are seen chatting while laughing.

'By the way, what are they really doing? Si Khanza also try so familiar with new people, where smiley again, try if the same I jutek bener, ' Nic throw an annoyed look at the two of them.

"Son Nic, let's play again." Take Jade while acting spoiled, making Nic forced to follow his wishes. Nic's eyes were unceasingly watching Khanza's movements, he was afraid that if Khanza did anything he could out of bounds, he thought. Nic believes that his attitude is purely because he loves Khanza like a brother. But is that really so? They have done something far more intimate than a sibling relationship. Sometimes the question comes to Nic's mind when he's alone.

"Sister Nic, the beam fell down." Jade complains because the beam she has stacked fell because Nic was out of focus.

"Pardon Sister Jade, let's put it together again." Nic tried to persuade Jade who was about to cry because the blocks he had stacked with difficulty fell back to the floor.

"Wouldn't want to, I'll have Nic lusakin again. Jade wants to play alone." Said Jade with her lisp voice.

"Why the hell De, here Brother help you." Arra approaches his sister who seems sulking at Nic.

"Sister Nic tuh, all hanculin." Jade grumbled with her slurred tone, making Nic feel anxious but guilty for the little boy as well, the tower that He made was destroyed because He kept watching Khanza and Darius who were talking to each other in a soup that was quite far from him, so he could not eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Nic's brother wants to join, let's go." Arra's Order.

"Huh?" Nic gawking at Arra's words, his brain suddenly lost connection.

"Udah don't pretend to go there!" Arra encourages Nic to sit down and join Khanza and Darius.

"Pretend what?" Nic doesn't understand Arra's intentions, but he's gone anyway. He sat next to Khanza.

"What are you talking about, what's so exciting?" Nic demands answers from both.

"There's no Nic, we're just regular conversations." Khanza's answer obviously did not make Nic satisfied at all, he wanted Khanza to say all the contents of their conversation earlier, but of course the desire he swallowed in the heart.

Darius, however, obeyed Khanza's words, stating that everything Khanza said was true.

'Why do I feel like I'm on my side? Whereas when Cherry was with David I didn't mind at all, but seeing Khanza with another guy I didn't feel like it. It's really weird, what's wrong with me?'

Khanza and Darius re-concluded their way of mind seems a frequency that makes them always connected in every Carita.

"Khanza, I seem to have forgotten something." Nic's words suddenly made Khanza instantly turn his attention to him.

"There's something I have to discuss with my father tonight, it's very important." Nic said convincingly.

"Then how?"

"We're going home now."

"Huh, it's getting very late. Too risky to drive at night." Khanza seemed reluctant.

"But this is very important, it's about tomorrow's meeting!" Nic again convinces Khanza on the grounds of work. Khanza seemed to think for a moment, but Darius' words distracted him.

"Why not just call, or video call." Darius gave a suggestion.

"Yes, Darius said." Khanza agrees.

"It-can't, this has to be conveyed directly." Nic continues to give excuses and his nervousness makes Khanza a little suspicious.

Khanza was silent for a moment considering the decision, "yes you have to go home by yourself, I still want to be here." Khanza does not want to obey Nic, most likely Nic wants to return is because Cherry, thinking that alone makes Khanza lazy according to him.

"Well, when I get home by myself, Za, you come along." Nic kept pushing.

Darius seems to pay attention to Nic's attitude to Khanza, he thinks it's a little strange, if their relationship is only a friend, it's very clear if Nic is jealous to see his closeness with Khanza.

"Huh, yes I did! I'll get the stuff first!" Khanza moved while grumbling with annoyance. Nic smiled faintly his mission finally succeeded.

Darius laughed as he deliberately mocked and it caught Nic's eye, "what are you laughing at, right?" Nic was annoyed by Darius' facial expression.

"I just want to laugh, where's the fault?"

"Don't get too close to her." Nic warned.

Darius's eyebrows slightly raised, "why can't I get close to him? Who are you, to rule Khanza's life?"

"I'm his friend and he's my friend. We've been like brothers, I have to protect him from disinterested people." The word of disinterest was deliberately pressed, and it sulked at Darius. Darius laughed again.

"Friends? A brother? No friend wants to rule his friend's personal life, no brother will forbid him to be close to another man, like you." Nic snorted at Darius' words.

"You like it, it's obvious." Added Darius.

Degs... Likey? Nic was immediately pensive, the words of Darius just raised various questions in his mind. Just now Nic was about to refute the sound of Khanza's footsteps being heard approaching.

Taps...Taps...Taps...

Khanza approached with a bag slung over his shoulder, causing them to immediately stop the debate.

Nic got up as soon as Khanza got there.

"Come on!" Take Nic along and walk first.

"From, next time we talk again, see you. Apologize to Om Daren and Aunt Anna, next time we'll come again." Khanza says goodbye and follows Nic out of Daren's house.
