Secluded Love

#92

The events of the past few days really made Juli realize who she was.

There was always a sense of unreliability stirring in him.

The end of this too July confines itself from its surroundings.

As of now, he was forced to attend the class of Professor Felix's replacement lecturer.

Although actually Juli really wanted to skip, but the lecturer held an impromptu quiz.

"Thank you for coming to my class.

Results will be announced at the next meeting."

Damar closed the class and tidied the quiz into his bag.

"July wait !"

Shouted Damar who saw Juli dodging him.

While the summoned did not heed it, it continued to walk away.

"Juliana !"

Juli's move away from Damar had to come to a standstill when Kevin held her back.

"Where have you been Juls ?

I need you yesterday, though,

can we talk for a second ?"

Kevin was begging for July.

He seems to think, there is no harm in Juli accepting Kevin's invitation.

He still has business with her.

Juli nodded then followed Kevin's steps towards the canteen.

From behind Damar watched them.

isn't that Damar ?

Do they know each other .-

Damar murmured inwardly seeing the familiarity of the two.

"What do you want Juls' message for ?"

Ask Kevin heart, if indeed yesterday there are words that touch him.

"Later on Kevin, what's the matter ?"

Juli asks Kevin to get to the point immediately.

"My brother was raging last week. I don't know what the problem is, but he's very offended about getting my painting.

It seems like he has started to fall for someone.

But you always held us both."

Kevin complained in July.

He's always comfortable if he's around the girl.

"I'm sorry Kevin, you better help your brother.

Maybe you can get her closer to the woman she's referring to."

Juli's hand moved to hold Kevin's hand to give him support.

"The other night he called, asked me to paint a pair of sneakers. I happen to see you wearing it.

You want to be my model ?

If you're condescending, I'll just draw your leg."

Juli glanced down, those shoes also became meaningful to her.

When he almost fell and was helped by Mr. Lecturer.

"All right."

Answer's short.

Kevin takes Juli to his gallery.

There they were waiting for someone.

"Mas Damar, please,

what's up ?"

Kevin was surprised to see his brother standing in front of the shop.

"You forgot to teach in your campus. All through I want to stop by."

Despite talking to Kevin, Damar's eyes still stared faithfully at Juli who was now silent.

I didn't think they were brothers.

What do I have to do, be honest with Kevin if I like his brother ?

But don't, man, don't,

doesn't Mr. Damar like someone.

Realize who this Juls is!?-

"Chem . .

Let's go in !"

Kevin wakes Juli from her daydream.

They have already opened the gallery.

It was during this time that Juli fought with her heart and mind.

"Mas this July is the curator in my gallery. She will also be the model of the painting that Mas Damar ordered.

Must double the pay."

Kevin began to prepare his equipment, while melting the atmosphere he thought was a little tense.

Kevin doesn't want Juli to get a bad impression from her brother.

he's Kevin, but why do you know each other ?

Do you like Juli too?-

Damar was still watching every move of July.

The girl was still busy tidying up some paintings before becoming a model.

Almost 1 hour Kevin painted Juliana's leg, and it was almost perfect.

"Kevin why not just the whole body ?"

Damar crossed his legs in a sofa waiting for his painting to be done.

"I don't want to !"

Juli quickly refuses, before Kevin changes his mind.

Kevin glanced and smiled at July, and it was clearly seen by Damar.

"It's done. ."

Kevin stood flexing his muscles, he walked to the toilet to clean his hands.

So long sitting stiff, Juli's legs tingling.

When he wanted to walk, he lost his balance and almost fell.

Damar held her back until she hugged Juli.

"Take me off, sir !"

Pinta Juli thrashed.

"I beg Juls, just for a minute like this.

Why are you avoiding me ?"

Damar whispered softly so Kevin wouldn't suspect them.

"I . .

I like father hiks."

Juli finally expresses her feelings to Damar.

"Thank you Juli."

Damar smiled at the expression of the girl who had stolen his attention since the first time they met.

"But sorry, but sorry,

I just think of you as my sister."

Ed . . .

Juli's body is like being struck by lightning, it feels like Juli's heart stops when she hears Damar's answer.

Juli immediately let go of Damar's embrace.

"I'm sober now, though,

you just feel sorry for me.

Am I so pathetic in my eyes ?

Yes, I admit to working in my father's big hotel to make money.

But that doesn't mean you can demean me.

After this please just assume we don't know each other."

Juli walked up to get her bag on the couch, then walked out of the gallery.

Kevin is still listening to all his brother's conversations with the girl he also likes.

Almost the canned drink he held fell if he was not strong.

I'm sorry Juli, I've hurt you.

I can't possibly fight for love against my own sister.

Let me give up.-

Damar deeply regrets having hurt Juli's feelings for rejecting her.

If there was no Kevin among them, Damar could have opened his heart to July.

Not even had time to open, the door of Damar's heart was closed again.

"Mas, which July ?"

Kevin came to pretend not to know what.

If her brother likes Juli, and she likes him too, then Kevin will help them to unite. Whatever he did for his brother.

"He came home, he said there was a need.

The painting was taken, later transfer to your account."

Damar took out a new painting that had not even dried up completely.

"Be careful."

Kevin looked at Damar's departure until he disappeared from his sight.

- Why should she be the one you like Juls ?

You don't even see me staring at you.

Kevin's heart is broken by the fact that Juli likes Damar better than him.

July walks towards the campus stop to wait for the bus.

his tears could not stand, they just flowed.

"July why you ?"

someone patted him on the shoulder and sat down with Juli.

"Jihanna ?

I'm okay."

As soon as Juli rubbed her cheeks eliminating any trace of her crying.

"You can think of me as Jul's friend, me and Kevin's neighbor and best friend since Junior High. Kevin's friend's my friend, too."

Jill smiled at July.

Earlier July had thought that Jihane was the jealous type.

Who's gonna hit him when he finds out Kevin's pretty close to him.

"Thank Jihan, you're so nice."

Juli returned her smile.

The two of them quietly stared at each other towards the crowded street and then passed the vehicle.

"I really like Kevin, but I don't want to force him to accept me as a lover.

Just being close to him is more than enough."

Jihan is very kind and big-hearted, she is willing to accept the reality that is not on her side.

"I'll try to help you, who knows Kevin will open his heart to you."

July's sudden decision brings a happy smile on Jihan's face.

"Thank you Juliana."

Jihan hugged Juli tightly.

"July, aren't we friends."
