Second Time

WHICH ACTUALLY HAPPENED

"Grace, did you hear a knock on the door?" Jane looked at Grace.

"Yes, vaguely."

"That's not a knock on my door."

"Yes, is there a knock in my room?"

"Looks right, go see who's coming."

"All right, I'll go to my room first."

"Yes." Yeah."

Grace walked out of Jane's room. He stopped when he saw who was standing in front of his room. A beautiful woman with a fairly prominent makeup looks smiling at him. Grace approached him and let the woman into his room.

"Laura, sit down."

Laura sat down gracefully and crossed her legs, she stared at the whole room of Grace who looked very neat. His gaze stopped on Grace who was sitting on the sofa in front of him. Grace stared back at Laura who kept looking at her.

"So, what do you need to do to see me?" Grace finally asked.

"Still about the same thing." Laura smile.

"Dafa?"

"Of course."

"What else is going on with Dafa?"

"Grace, I want your help."

"Help?"

"Yes." Yeah." Laura nodded.

"What's that?"

"I want to meet Dafa."

"You can go straight to him, why do you have to ask me for help?"

"You know that unfriendly man who was always behind Dafa? She always stopped me from meeting Dafa, somehow she was so involved with my relationship. That guy's so cold, I'm not sure there's gonna be a woman who likes him."

"Secretary Ken?"

"Yes, who else if not him?"

"So?"

"Bring me to Dafa now."

Ceklek, the door opened revealing the face of a man who looked sour. The man entered without excuse, his face looked gloomy and so disliked looking at Laura's face. Laura was a little surprised to see the arrival of the man who had just been on her maki-maki.

"You don't have to bother Grace just to meet Mr. Dafa."

"What do you mean?"

"Master Dafa is waiting for you in his room?"

"really?" Laura's eyes twinkled, as if a fresh breeze was sweeping across her face.

"Yes." Yeah." Ken turned around and walked out of Grace's room.

Laura hurried to her feet and touched her clothes. Taking out a mirror and fixing her makeup. After feeling that everything was perfect, she immediately walked out of Grace's room without greeting Grace back Grace just shaking her head at Laura's behavior.

Grace went back to her desk, she didn't want to go after them at all. Grace did not want to interfere with the problems that were going on between them even though she felt a little curious about what was really going on. Grace prefers to finish her work and doesn't want to think about them.

......................

"Dafa." Laura smiled broadly unable to contain her delight.

"What do you need to come here?"

"Dafa, I just want to ask for clarity about our relationship."

"I told you I never felt in a relationship with you."

"Daf, don't keep pretending."

"I? pretend?"

"Yes, tell me what's your excuse so you don't acknowledge me as your lover."

"My love?" Dafa grinned.

"Why are you so mean to me?" Laura looked very sad, this time an unmade sense of sadness.

"Do you really want to be recognized as a lover?"

"Yes." Yeah." Laura nodded.

"Are you sure I'm your lover?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Hmmm, all right wait a minute. Ken, get him in my room."

"Do you know each other?" Dafa looked at Laura and the man took turns.

"Yes." Yeah." Laura says.

"No." The man and Laura spoke at the same time.

"It's funny, one says yes, the other says no." Dafa chuckles.

"Aren't you Rico? Dafa friends who used to meet me because they were asked by Dafa?" Laura looked at the man.

"No, I've never met you." The man shook his head.

"No way, it's very clear you're Rico."

"No." The man kept shaking.

"Whatchu mean? Don't you want to admit everything like Dafa doesn't admit me?" Laura glared at Rico.

Plok.. Dafa walked slowly towards them while clapping his hands.

"It's funny this drama." Dafa broke down, instantly making the two people turn to look at Dafa. "Why look at me? Just continue with your debate." Dafa did not stop laughing.

"Whatchu mean? Are you playing me with this guy?" Laura looked at Dafa.

"Who's playing you?" Dafa looked back at Laura.

"Why are you quiet? aren't you a close friend of Dafa?" Laura nudged Rico's arm with her elbow.

"Huhahah." Dafa was again open to hearing Laura's words.

"How can you believe he's my best friend?" Dafa laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"I never knew him, how could I be friends with him?" Dafa pointed at the man, he had already stopped laughing.

"Ba..how is it possible?"

"You're a famous model, but why are you so stupid?" Dafa spoke seriously.

"A.what?"

"How could you think that this man was me? You know he tricked you into posing as me, dating online without ever seeing each other. You're so stupid!"

"Ti.impossible."

"Ah looks like I'm talking too much, Ken continue." Dafa returned to his desk.

"Miss Laura, you've heard directly from Mr. Dafa. It's very clear that you've been dating other people, not Dafa."

"Rico, is that true?" Laura gripped Rico's shoulder, the man just kept silent and said nothing.

"Buck, don't shut up!" Laura is getting angry.

"Yes, I'm the one doing everything."

"Unfortunately, what is your real purpose?"

"I really like you."

"What's? Just 'cause you like me so much that you do all those lies?"

"I did it because I had no other way to get close to you."

"I'll never like you, I don't even know you at all."

"You may not recognize me now, but I know you very well."

"How do you know me?"

"I know all about you, Laura."

"Who are you really?"

"How could you forget me? Is it just because my appearance changed?"

Laura looked at Rico's face carefully, trying to remember if she had met before other than that time. Laura continued to look at Rico until she was finally aghast, she remembered who the man was. Laura took a few steps back to make Rico smile.

"Did you remember me?" Rico smiled.

"Galeh!" Laura glared, her mouth slightly open.

"Do I look like Galeh?"

"Yes, but isn't Galeh dead?"

"The old God is dead, which is now Rico." Rico smiled.

"Since you have no business with Dafa, please leave this room." Ken interrupted the two men's argument.

Laura had no reason to be there anymore, she was even embarrassed by the circumstances and everything that happened to her. How could he possibly be fooled and end up embarrassing himself. Laura seemed to lose her pride in the presence of Dafa and Ken, she did not even dare to look at Dafa in the slightest. Laura came out voluntarily from the Dafa room, she wiped the tears that came out just from the corner of her eyes.
