The Journey of Young CEO Love
Part 18 Bookstore
...---Happy reading---...
Gio excitedly stepped foot into the parking lot to get home soon. Ara had already sent her a message that the girl had come home half an hour ago.
"Gio.", call someone from behind Gio.
"Why else?", asked Gio to see who was approaching him.
"Who's return?", asked Arsal.
Gio snorted violently, his best friend always thwarting his plans. Somehow, Gio has to tell his best friend if he is fighting for someone.
"Today you turned back on your own first, I have business", said Gio lazy.
"But Gii..."
"Udah, tomorrow you can whine again" said Gio cutting quickly.
"Who told you to take me today" he continued before actually getting into his car.
With a quick movement, Gio got into the car and took his car away from the campus and his best friend looked at him with annoyance. Not caring about Arsal who has been tampering is unclear.
"There is no morals" cried Arsal annoyed.
Elsewhere, Ara is a little nervous about meeting Gio. Her memory was still so vivid with what happened last night, Ara was so embarrassed. Busy with his daydream when not realizing the white car had stopped right in front of him.
"You go straight home?", asked Gio after getting out of the car and approached the girl who was still daydreaming.
Unresponsive, Gio patted Ara's head slowly making Ara reflex conscious and looking up at Gio. The girl swallowed her saliva with great difficulty when she realized Gio's whereabouts. Again and again his memory back to the incident last night made his cheeks flushed in shame.
"Why?, are you sick?", asked Gio looking at Ara's face which suddenly turned red. Ara just shook her head slowly, as much as she could hide her nervousness and misbehavior.
"Bang Gio, Brother Ara", a shout from a girl averted her second gaze.
They were compactly staring at the little girl who was running towards them with a man who was tailing her with a faint smile.
"Kok hasn't come home yet?", asked Gio looking at his sister.
"Today Ara's sister can take a day off. Gea has a group assignment", said the girl while holding the hand of a man standing next to her.
"It just so happened that my brother wanted to borrow Ara", said Gio. Hearing that Ara was a little surprised, how is this, today she will be with Gio even longer and it is not good for her. He was still very ashamed of the man in front of him.
Gea's eyes squinted suspiciously at Gio who was just a lazy snort.
"Abang to the character of the same book Ara. You guys don't come home too late or your brother drags you home" said Gio.
"Yes-yes",
...---🌻🌻🌻---...
After saying goodbye to Gea, the man carried Ara darting to defend the slightly crowded city streets. The clock has shown the clock home from work makes the streets congested. In the car from then on there was only silence no one wanted to open a chat, Gio who was busy observing the streets and Ara who was struck by nervousness to not know what to open the topic.
"Emm Gio.", call Ara ventured to make the man wearing the black hat cleared his throat and turned his head for a while and refocused on the streets.
"For the incident last night", Ara closed her eyes at a glance not knowing whether to continue her speech or not.
Hearing that, Gio recalled the incident last night, making him slightly misbehaved but immediately diverted it by returning to a slow pace. The handsome man fixed his seat before discussing this, he had to apologize for his brash behavior last night.
Right on the quiet street, Gio stopped his car making Ara look at the man with a frown.
"Will..",
The man with the black shirt and black hoodie tilted his body looking at Ara who was looking at him confusedly.
"On last night, I.", Gio sighed courageously looking at the beautiful girl next to him who had returned to his head when the topic of last night was again discussed by Gio.
"I won't tell anyone. And I also want to apologize about being rude to you" said Gio.
"I just don't like you saying that, I'm so emotional. I'm sorry", continued the man.
"Iiisssh.".", annoyed Ara. He was really embarrassed to have to talk about it but why did Gio even talk about it.
"Kok mukul", exclaimed Gio with pinched lips holding back laughter.
"Too know", said Ara slowly.
"Yes if you're embarrassed here hug", said Gio.
"Mode"
Gio's laughter instantly broke, Ara's reddened face which was misbehaving hence so adorable.
"Oh Allah, it's very nervous, the wife-to-be" said Gio pinched Ara's cheek.
Hearing Gio's words, the girl was increasingly unable to hide her reddened face, her heart also reacted with a beat after hearing what Gio said earlier, whether she was joking or not, conscious or not, but it made him a baper.
"What did I say last night?", asked Ara to switch the conversation.
Gio's shrunken laughter was replaced with a flat gaze that made Ara unpleasant.
"You said you wanted to follow your father with your mother. What do you want to do ? Want to increase their burden to be ended because his son committed suicide" ketus Gio.
"That's not it" said Ara.
"Keep what ? I don't like you talking like that anymore", said Gio quickly.
"Yes, not anymore"
...----------------...
"Gii, my salary is already in even though it is not enough a month to teach Gea. How much more", asked Ara looking through the books on the shelf. At dawn he got a notification if his savings increased and he was sure it was a salary from Gio, but why so soon. Not not ungrateful but he felt his work was not worth the salary given. He knew enough himself to teach Gea a few days, if his salary was a little papa because it was still not long work, he had to be professional and did not want to eat blind salary.
Gio turned his eyes and smiled faintly, "don't know, it's the father who sent", said Gio, whether he lied or not.
"But really...",
"Sheh, itung-itung replace your salary at the cafe yesterday. It should have been payday but I told him to step back and teach Gea", said Gio quickly.
"Yes yes", he said resigned with a slow sigh. This stubborn man in front of him really could not guess, even he had just how many days to teach Gea but his salary had just entered and it was greater than the salary he had in the cafe before. Hah Ara was lucky, this morning he could buy medicine for his grandmother and cover little by little his savings and definitely cover his daily needs in the next few months.
"What book do you buy?", asked Ara, because since they came, there was not a single book that Gio held just looking around.
"Must make an assignment, but have not met" replied Gio still looking through the bookshelves of one of the shopping centers.
"What a book" asked Ara to take a look.
"Financial and accounting management", said Gio.
"Yes, you've been looking here, I've been looking next door. I also want to look for a novel" said Ara, who is possessed by Gio.
After a few minutes of touring the bookshelf, Gio finally found what he got. Not waiting for long, Gio went to look for the whereabouts of the girl who had accompanied him.
"Ara.", call Gio to look at the girl who is crouching to choose a book or what book.
Ara stood up and looked at Gio with a look of annoyance.
"I can't, there's nothing here" said Ara.
"It already exists. Let's eat first we go for a walk" said Gio.
Ara nodded her head and let Gio pull his hand towards the cashier.
"His girlfriend is beautiful, huh mas", asked the female cashier to see Ara and Gio alternately.
"Yes" Gio replied with a flat face.
