One Throne, Two Women

Who's the one who's lying?

Approaching dzuhur time, Hinata called Tatiana.

"Hello.. Nat? What's up?" Sapa Tatiana from across the phone.

"Mike nemuin next to the earrings. You lost no earrings, Ti?" Ask Hinata directly.

"Oh. yeah. Mm. Just a minute, Nat. I'm in the studio again" Tatiana said in a hurry.

"Eh, I'm sorry if that's the case, I'll just close it.."

"But the earrings are mine, Nat!" Tatiana was still in a hurry.

"mmmmmmm. Maybe last night accidentally fell fitting me in the toilet." added Tatiana again.

"O.so. When will we meet? How's lunch together?" Tawar Hinata's.

"duh. Sorry, Nat. This afternoon I want to lunch with Big Boss. There's a big shooting project for next month" Tatiana subtly refused.

"O.so. But the earrings are.." said Hinata confused.

"Titipin to Mark. Tomorrow I may go to his office to sign a new project contract. It's okay, Nat?" Ask Tatiana...

"Yes, it's okay. You will be the top model this year. Must be busy, huh?" Hinata tried to understand.

"Well, that's it. Uh, yes first! I'm going to lunch with the big boss!" Pamit Tatiana is in a hurry again.

"OKAY. Success yes, Tii.we meet up soon yes!" Said Hinata putting together a plan to meet.

"OKAY. Set it up, Nat! Hye!"

"Bye, Tian.."

Clik.

The phone connection was also cut off.

Lama Hinata looks at her phone screen. To be honest, he really missed his best friend, Tatiana. The last time they met was almost a month ago.

Since Tatiana got the title of The Most Awsome model this year, her best friend was getting busier so they could rarely meet, or just eat lunch together.

"Hh. I should be able to understand Tatiana. After all, when I was a top model, I almost always slept in the car. No time to go home to rest, because the shooting and filming schedule is so crowded. So Tatiana must be very tired now to take me out.." muttered Hinata monologue.

"Oh! I'll just bell Mike!" Hinata suddenly cried.

Shortly thereafter, Hinata dialed the phone number of her husband, Mike. It took several rings before Hinata's phone was picked up by Mike.

"Mike..?"

"Hmm..?ahhh.. "

Hinata frowned. Because Mike's voice sounds a little weird. It was like the sound of moaning when they were playing in bed..

Deg. Deg.

Hinata shook her head tightly.

'What am I thinking! Why can my mind be so perverted? It must have been because we hadn't done that in a long time, so I imagined the strange thing just by hearing Mike's voice! Yep. It must be like that!' hinata rebukes herself.

"Ehem! Nat? You there?" Hinata wakes up from her daydream as she hears Mike's voice calling from across the phone.

"Yes.iya, Mike. We're lunching with yuk?are you busy?" Ask Hinata suddenly.

"Well, I just came out. Lunch is with my client," Mike declined to reason.

Instantly the balloon of hope in Hinata's mind deflated. Again he was disappointed by the people closest to him. Tatiana refused his invitation. And now, Mike...

"Where do you want lunch?" Ask Hinata then.

"In Noya... Uh no-no! At another five-star restaurant, it's ding!" Mike is in a hurry.

'uh? I was like hearing someone else's voice on the phone, ' Hinata murmured inwardly.

"E.no! I mean, i.iya, Nat! I'm the same again... Eee.. Derile! Yep. Sama Deril's. Nat, yes, yes. Go to the resto.bye, dear..mmuach!"

Clik.

And the phone call was cut off.

Hinata looked back at her old phone. Even until the screen automatically darkens, Hinata still stares at her phone with a confused look.

"Sama Deril..? Didn't Mike say he was pushing Deril out of town this morning? Did I remember our conversation this morning?" Gumam Hinata monologue.

After her Hinata tries to open the chat app. Then he saw the status of the social media from Deril, Mike's personal assistant. Hinata recalled, she seemed to see that Deril updated his status about an hour ago.

And, what he saw, really made Hinata stunned and agitated at once.

Deril uploaded a photo of him in a cafe outside the city. Under the photo Deril gave a statement, 'Brease awhile, before continuing to work again,'.

Unknowingly, Hinata simply typed a message into Deril's number. How can Hinata have Deril's number? Because she was already quite familiar with her husband's assistant. Moreover, Deril is the most instrumental in the realization of the marriage of Mike and Hinata first.

Hinata then sent a message as follows,

Hinata: Ril, are you still out of town?

Shortly after, her message was answered by Deril.

Deril: yes. Kenoa? Don't ask for it. Did you get the earring gift yesterday, right from Mike? That's pretty expensive, those are the earrings.. M An its price..

Hinata frowned. Confused by Deril's statement.

Hinata: what's the earring, Ril? Mike didn't give me any earrings. You ngaco..

Deril: uh, seriously? But yesterday he said he wanted to buy earrings for you. Lets not-don't he hasn't had time to love it lately is indeed a lot of work in the office.

Hinata: nothing, Ril. Where there's Mike forgetfulness. You know he is a perfectionist. In his dictionary, there was never that term forgetfulness!

I'm serious, Nat. I sent her a picture, yes. Fortunately yesterday I had a photo of her earrings. I see for myself he swipes his black card to buy those earrings!

Hinata then saw a photo of a pair of earrings that Deril had just sent. And he was really surprised. It was the same earrings as the one in her ornamental desk drawer right now.

Tatiana's earrings were left behind and she said they were found by Mike!

Deg. Deg.

Deg. Deg.

Hinata also immediately felt uneasy made her. He no longer replied to Mike's message while his mind was busy stringing up all the peculiarities of Mike's attitude in recent weeks.

How rarely did Mike come home so soon. How often Mike stays in the office. How cold Mike's attitude has been lately. Until Hinata felt a little neglected from the attention of her husband.

Deg.

Deg. Deg.

"Tatiana said that this is her earring. But said Deril, the earrings were bought by Mike for me. Mike himself said he did not know who the earrings belonged to. Actually, who's lying here anyway?" Hinata muttered while staring blankly at the wall of her room.

Feeling unable to stand still, Hinata decided to ask Mike directly.

"I have to meet Mike right now! Where is he lunch now? In Noya? Ah. no. Mike said he wasn't eating in Noya. But then where?" Imbuh Hinata muttered to herself.

After a long time of thinking, Hinata also thought of one place. Without wasting any time, he took the car keys and also his wallet. Then go to that place.

To Noya. This is Hinata's goal right now. Somehow his hunch said that Mike must be at his favorite restaurant at this time.

And. that's right. After almost twenty minutes of driving, Hinata did find Mike was lunching at the seafood restaurant.

Her husband was not alone there. Because in front of him, it looks someone who is also cool laughing with Mike there. Hinata witnessed how often Mike kissed the hand of his very familiar figure.

That person is Tatiana, her best friend!
