The Alaska Dea

Chapter 40: Behind a smile

"OKAY. I want an explanation." Arin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, releasing all the emotions that had been choking her since this morning. "So, are you guys really dating? Oh no, Mr Aska likes my friend?" Arin shook his head "Oh not really. Did you like Dea Aliska Rahayu?"

"Yes"

Arin snorted bitterly when he heard Aska's steady reply. Let's get ready to be busy making clarifications to reporters now.

"And lo" Arin's view is fixed on Dea "Lo also likes the same Mr Aska?"

Usually Dea will seem timid to acknowledge and choose to be quiet. But seeing how his best friend nodded his head made Dea sigh, between relief but also anxious because there would be a lot of work waiting for him. If lasting may not matter, but if it runs aground in the middle of the road, the name Dea will obviously be back in a link with Ardigo.

And the biggest problem that Arin needs to face is explaining to the Echoes. A guy who lately is so annoying in the office but will turn out like a kitten outside the office.

"The problem is Echoes, let me clear it directly to him"

From Arin's eyes that I now immediately bear fruit sparkling to hear Aska's speech just now. But only for a moment when remembering the Echoes this morning. Echoes will obviously still target him to give an excuse even though Aska has advanced first.

"No need. It's my job as Dea's manager. One thing I asked of both. Hide and seek if you want to date. After the agency gives a new decision we think about the continuation. Is it okay, sir?"

Dea took a glance towards Aska who was sitting at the side. He may have been used to relationships secretly. Dating in a car was never done Dea. But obviously not with Aska, dating him means Aska must also be ready with all the consequences.

"I don't have a problem. As long as my girlfriend's Dea"

Hueeka.

Arin almost vomited while Dea blushed to hear it.

"As a manager, it is. Now as Dea's friend"

Dea and Aska's gaze returned to Arin who spoke.

"Gue tipped Dea sir. You must have known the story of Dea's love story before. I hope not to be the second jerk to get into the red data as someone I want to doain die"

Aska nodded. Grab Dea's hand, then hold it tight. Getting Dea alone is difficult to ask for forgiveness, Aska certainly will not waste Dea who is already in his grasp.

This time she breathed a sigh of relief that Arin showed. Glancing at his phone that rang and the name Echoes there, Arin throws an irritated couch cushion at Dea.

"Follow, I'm out of history" complained Arin, standing while squeezing his own car keys.

"At the very least for a moment when he was angry, it turned into girlfriend mode" Dea replied with a wide grin.

Arin who had previously stood up, suddenly sat back on the sofa with perfectly round eyes. "Lo knew? From where?"

"Oh, so really it's Gema sir?"

"meaning? What's the one with Gema sir?"

"Kaos in the guest bathroom. I thought I had a sister. Oh, so has anyone reached nginep?"

Arin shook his head in panic. Aska smiled looking at everything.

"Which bathroom? Don't be weird, in my house, in the bathroom, nothing?!!"

"Crazy!!" tukas Arin who directly walked out of the Dea unit. Leaving his friend who was laughing out loud.

Aska who had just observed, now increasingly fixed to look at Dea who laughed amusedly. It wasn't like the beginning of their meeting where Dea showed a fake smile and laugh in front of reporters, but this time her laughter sounded so crisp and sincere that Aska felt like she was falling back in love with Dea. The hope, the laughter and this face will Aska see for life.

"Beautiful" said Aska lirih.

"Why?" asked Dea because it was not too clear to hear Aska's murmur.

"Pretty. It's pretty"

Dea's laughter dimmed instantly replaced with misbehavior. Arin had already left and they were just the two of them now, Dea could no longer relax and control her expression so as not to look misbehaved in front of Aska, perhaps making breakfast for the two of them could reduce the pounding of her heart.

But as if Aska did not want to take it off at all, Aska also stood up to pull his hand and make him sit back on the sofa.

"I want to say something to you" said Aska softly.

Dea lowered her head to hide the face of her pillow when she found Aska looking at her so closely. Dea's face was plain, wearing no makeup at all, and it was a disgrace to a public figure like him.

"Can you see me?"

Oh why does that sound so soft and serious. Dea raised her head slowly and a very handsome Aska smile greeted her.

"I want to say something"

"I'm hungry" Dea replied directly. Really if too long in this position Dea will be out of breath so nervous.

"Totally laper?"

Dea nodded in spirit, since knowing Aska, Dea knew that the weakness of this man was when he put on a clear face. And sure enough, Aska finally nodded her head and scrambled Dea's hair.

"Let me cook. You take a shower first"

Dea shook her head "I'm aja. You can go home first, later when the food is ready, I'll call. Don't go through the balcony, through the door"

"How many hours are finished?"

"Two hours. Shower and cook, 2 hours"

"Hoooo I have a stomachache then"

"You what?" ask Dea. A little anxious when he saw Aska's expression pretending to be thinking.

"OK" replied Aska. "But hug first?"

"You stink. So mending home first huh dear Alaskan father?"

Aska laughs. According to him just as Dea pushed her out of the female unit. Aska's smile was still expanding wide until the door of the Dea house was closed.

And that smile disappeared instantly.
