Clara sat in the library. Read the book as usual if you are bored. This time Carlos was watching him. Jun is still very busy with what Steven is assigned. Clara walked to the corner, looking for a book and was away from Carlos who was waiting for her in front of the entrance.
Clara looked at Carlos who looked far away. Then he walked to the window, read a novel there. The novel was the one he bought when he went with Susi. He bought a lot and put it in the library.
Jun who just came back into the library. Carlos immediately resigned because he wanted to have dinner. Jun frowned looking at Clara from afar as the girl smiled to herself. Jun co-developed his smile, intending to approach. But her steps came to a halt after a few meters when she heard a faint laugh coming out of Clara's lips.
Jun slowed his pace, turning to another shelf to hide himself. Then slowly approached Clara's place so that they were limited to only a towering bookshelf.
Clara raised her face slightly from the book, glanced towards the shelf then smiled meaningfully. He closed the novel in his hand violently then stared out the window of interest.
"From Jun .. there is no need to hide" he said in a cold tone.
Jun was of course getting more astonished, the reason he was like looking at someone else at the moment. As she showed herself, standing right beside the stool Clara was sitting on, the girl looked up to be able to look at her.
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"When can you talk again?" chirped Jun, completely ignoring Clara's question.
"June..."
"Why are you lying to me?"
"Huh?"
Clara frowned, Jun looked a little angry and frustrated.
"What's wrong with you?" ask Clara.
Jun did not reply, he immediately hugged Clara tightly. It did not matter that the girl was shocked by his treatment.
"You know I'm really worried about you every day. I was devastated when you lost your voice."
Clara did not show any expression. He pushed Jun slowly so that his embrace was released. Staring at Jun flatly.
"I heard a rumor. Is that true?"
Jun frowned, looking at him cluelessly. "What rumors?" tanyakanya.
"Since I got back to college, ever since the photo of you carrying me spread. I started thinking Jun. The innuendos of Lusi that I had been ignoring now felt real. Then the rumors started to spread how your fans always gossip behind my back."
Jun broke out in cold sweat, fear completely gnawing at his heart. He doesn't even have any refutation in his brain at the moment. He could not think for fear of the facts that the girl might know before him.
"I just realized .. that you are very different when you are with me. Not just as friends. But more than that." Clara stood up, then took a step forward.
He brought his ears closer to Jun, stuck them there and smiled wryly upon hearing Jun's extremely fast heartbeat. He turned back and looked up.
"Can you keep it a secret that I can talk again?" clara asked, he went back to the topic he really wanted to talk about. It was cold as if there was a long distance between them.
"Ke .. why?" june asked, he was still very nervous.
"Because I hate talking to him. The killer ... remembers what he did. I hate talking to him. "
Jun's face became sad. With reflex he stared at his hands in turn. Where he has also hurt Steven's enemies a lot. In addition, the hand also took the lives of others several times when he was introduced to weapons as a child. Of course Clara saw Jun's reaction. He smiled with a sad face.
"Your world is very dark, isn't it? I love her Jun. But right now I hate him too. Ever since he killed in front of my eyes, I started to hate myself. The reason he killed was me. Because I am this weak and stupid ...."
Clara shed her tears, violently wiping away those tears. Then get out of there as fast as he can. Leaving Jun in his place.
Jun was limp, his tense face slowly becoming mingled in frustration. Fear gnawed at his heart quickly. Feeling collapsed when what he kept secret was known to the person he loved. He just wants to keep their closeness and hide those feelings forever. But as a photo of the rumor spread and people began to direct more attention to it. Clara also realized it.
"West! I'm gonna destroy you." His voice is heavy with anger. Jun got up, left there with a burning rage.
.
Steven almost spilled his coffee when suddenly an old man walked in with Renjun. Steven was overtime again tonight because of the many problems that occurred.
"It's nice to meet you, little friend. I miss the times when you, Jun and Arnold were still around me. It's a very pleasant memory."
Steven put down his coffee glass then politely he bowed slightly. Give a salute. After all, the person before him was instrumental in building his current company.
Pixu pulled the corner of her lips. He circled the room with a judging look. Steven glanced at Renjun who was still standing there and told him to come out in a voice. The clueless rung closed the door and stood guard at the door. Fearful of someone rushing inside.
"How did you get here?" Steven stood behind her.
"Why should I tell you?"
Steven let out an irritated breath. He sat down and supported his feet. Staring at Pixu who had been acting like he was. He even took a photo of Clara placed in the corner of the room. He looked at it for a moment before putting it back down.
"Grandfather Pixu, you know I don't want to be involved anymore, right? If the media catches you here. I could lose more and more of my money and you'd lose one of the sources."
Pixu laughed loudly, he took out his cigarette and sat down in front of Steven. Exhaling the smoke a few times before returning to talk.
"Don't it matter if people know you're supported by me? That way your opponent will think twice about challenging you."
Steven snorted, "You know I don't like the dirty if it's not needed. The police will trouble me if I get involved with you. Right now they're like rats trying to bite me."
"I know the police won't bother you. Don't lie to me. The reason you're the pretty girl in your house right? The sweet girl who keeps Jun by your side even though you've hurt her pride."
Steven looked at the old man before him for a moment. Weighing what is the right sentence to throw at him.
"She can leave if she wants even if she likes my boyfriend. He didn't have to obey me by risking his life and heart."
"Comm ... You must know your girl's not the reason she's the only one. I'll solve your problems as long as you can get Jun back to me."
Steven clenched his hand. Of course it didn't go unnoticed by Pixu. But Pixu said nothing, he calmly waited for Steven's answer.
"You ... want Jun? What's for?" ask Steven. This time the suspicions that had disappeared a few years ago are back.
"Why do you want to know? Jun is nobody to you. He's just a loyal dog that keeps following you, right? I just want to have such a loyal dog to be my successor."
This time Steven laughed, "Don't fool me old man. Tell me what your relationship is with Jun. You got Ben to be the successor."
Pixu did not reply, he just smiled then got up. Tidying up her maroon suit calmly.
"That's my condition, otherwise don't expect me to help you. I'm going to announce to the world our good relationship." He started to walk away, but only a few steps did he stop. "By the way about the biological weapons you made with Aston, don't even think about using them on me. I'm not the kid yesterday afternoon you can fool" he said, turning around. Then continue his steps. Leaving Steven who was smiling wryly.
"Jun .. You failed why not say, damn it!" gerrutu.
Steven immediately grabbed the hanging suit. Wear it and choose to go home for now. He no longer had the passion to complete the work that still mounts on his desk.
.
Jun was drinking in his room when Steven just walked in. Steven was about to ask for an explanation and he was also struck by resentment. But his feelings of regret disappeared as soon as he saw Jun in a very chaotic state. Drunk but still in control. Jun turned his head as Steven sat down by the side of his bed.
"You're back, sir?" sapa Jun his heavy voice.
"What's wrong with you? Did Pixu give you so much pressure that you drank like this?"
Jun smiled, then shook his head weakly.
"He can't make me depressed. The old man won't be able to."
Steven noticed the contents of Jun's room, this was his first time getting in there. Looking neat and elegant, Jun's personality is visible in every corner of this room.
"Back Sir? Clara is asleep. You can rest as well." Jun said, he woke up with a stagger and dropped himself on the bed.
Steven breathed. He won't come out until he gets the answer he wants.
"What's your relationship with Pixu?" ask Steven. Jun did not answer.
In a fit of annoyance Steven turned his face down. Claims slowly when he sees that Jun has fallen asleep. Irritatedly he came out with a loud slam at the door.
When the room was quiet again, leaving the sound of his own breathing. Jun opened his eyes. Staring at the ceiling of his room with reddened eyes and face. He was heavily drunk, his head was filled with only one name. As much as possible to pressure his heart so as not to destroy everything. He could feel his feelings getting bigger and bigger. Jun was very afraid that it would become an obsession. He would ruin everything if that happened.
Jun sat on his bed, Steven's question suddenly taking his mind off. "What did the old man tell Steven? Why would he suspect me?"
