The Journey of Young CEO Love

Part 24. lying

...---Happy reading---...

Gio pulled Ara slowly into his apartment and told the girl to sit next to him. Gio looked at Ara closely, from earlier if asked if there was anything Ara just kept quiet and shook her head slowly making Gio really upset. Already said Gio does not like to be lied to and Gio the type of person who is difficult to be lied to but this stubborn Ara makes Gio really frustrated. How not to worry, Gio had already seen for himself the treatment of those people to this girl, he was afraid that they would do it again and make Ara hurt even worse.

"Open it myself or I open it" said Gio staring at Ara coldly.

"Udah no need. No papa Gio" said Ara trying to calm down.

"I can't believe it" said Gio again staring at Ara sharply.

Ara gulped her saliva roughly looking at Gio who seemed to be angry at her.

"I want to work" said Ara was about to move but her hand was immediately blocked Gio made her movement stop.

"To me who opened it" said Gio forcing Ara to sit down and forcibly removing Ara's hoodie.

"Gio.".", annoyed Ara. Not only upset but also nervous and worried if anything happens. Ara was sure her back was bruised and if Gio saw, she would ask further and there was no way Ara was telling the truth. One more thing, this is in the apartment and they're just the two of them. It's nothing, Ara believes in Gio but there's no harm in keeping watch.

After successfully removing Ara's hoodie, Gio who was about to reveal Ara's back shirt stopped because Ara's tiny hand held her back.

"Why do you want?", asked Ara nervously

"Liat, it won't be anything" said Gio flatly.

"No, Gio. It's not papa" said Ara stubbornly.

"Well", though",

"Not want to", though",

"Liat, Ara", annoyed Gio.

Sighing softly, Ara slowly released her hand that was holding Gio. Free he held back, this man will force until Ara wants to. Withstanding the shame of half-dead, Ara let Gio unravel his clothes and see what happened to his back.

Gio's eyes widened to see Ara's reddened and bruised back, her hands clenched with anger. Gio roughly pulled back Ara's shirt and turned the girl's body a little rough.

"Say" said Gio briefly. Ara frowned not understanding.

"W-what?", asked Ara confusedly

"Tell me who did it" said Gio demanding.

"No papa, don't talk about it" Ara shook her head slowly.

"Say Ara" said Gio holding back indignation.

"Fall in the room" Ara's alibi. Gio continued to highlight it with a sharp gaze making him afraid to look into the eyes of the man.

"Don't believe it", Gio remained firm on his stance.

Ara sighed softly and then lunged at Gio's body until the end of the two lying on the sofa with Ara's position that overcame Gio's body.

"I don't papa" said Ara hugging Gio. The hearts of both beat faster and it was able to feel each of them. Actually Ara was embarrassed to do this but if it wasn't this way, Gio wouldn't stop asking.

Gio's hand was lifted back in Ara's embrace and occasionally kissed Ara's head crest leaning against her field chest.

"What has happened?" asked Gio. Ara just kept quiet and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Don't want a story?", asked Gio who returned softened. His hand moved rubbing Ara's long hair.

Ara just kept quiet not retaliating, she really wasn't ready or would never even be ready to tell Gio this.

When Ara was about to take off her embrace, Gio just did not want to let go and tighten her embrace.

"You're not in today" Gio said.

"But Gio..."

"I'm the boss", cut Gio quickly.

Ara snorted annoyedly but rightly so she just kept quiet and did not refute at all.

"Yes but let go first, you must rest" said Ara about to break away.

"Gini aja's. Accompany me to sleep tight", said Gio tightened his embrace while closing his eyes, again and again Ara was only able to sigh slowly, this man who was hugging him was indeed a forcible and Ara could only follow him.

"Sick?", Gio asked gently making Ara nod slowly.

"Here I swipe to not be sick again" he continued. His hand was already moving rubbing Ara's back gently with lips that were unceasingly kissing Ara's head crest.

"Gio dear Ara", he whispered.

"Your brother hasn't come home yet" said Muti holding the hand of a girl who was about to climb up the stairs to Ara's room.

"She doesn't care" said the girl. She is Rania, today she came looking for Ara to ask for money. His father cut his allowance because of his declining value.

"Nia, you can't do that" said Muti trying to catch up with Rania who had climbed the stairs one by one.

"Nia needs money, Grandma. Nia borrowed it instead of taking it" Nia said again.

After arriving at the door with the decoration of the name Ara, without a second thought Rania immediately barged in and looked for what she wanted.

"Where is Grandma?", asked Rania.

"Grandmother doesn't know", said Muti.

"Grandmother who said it herself or Nia who was looking" said Rania again staring threatingly at the mother of her father.

Muti sighed softly then pulled Ara out of Ara's room. His grandson is stubborn, he won't stop until he finds what he wants. Muti continues to pull Nia until the first floor makes Rania really angry.

"What the hell grandma" annoyed Rania stomped her hands rough.

Muti sighed softly looking at the attitude of his granddaughter this one, Rania and Ara used to be so close but now ? To Rania, Ara was only her enemy not her sister. Whether what caused it, Muti also did not know that clearly he really did not like the rude attitude of Rania to Ara, his favorite grandson.

Muti turned into his room and then a few minutes back and looked at Rania in the shade. He never differentiates his grandchildren just that it looks different because Ara who does not have parents and lives with him maybe that makes them consider Ara more privileged. Muti handed over several hundred pieces of money to Rania. The money that Ara gave yesterday was forced to give Muti to Rania so that this girl does not spend her cousin's money. Muti sometimes messianic with Ara who had to work hard alone but the result was always he shared like this, not even just himself to his cousin's sister Ara also gave if they forced like this.

Rania smiled happily and took what Muti gave her.

"Why not before" said Rania girang.

"That's Ara's payday this month, you don't ask her again" Muti warned.

"Yes", he said while putting the money he got into his tote bag.

Muti only shook his head looking at Rania's attitude. Then without excuse the girl turned around and left Muti who was still staring at her in silence.

Right in front of the door of the minimalist house when Rania had just opened the door, Rania was surprised by the arrival of a man wrapped in a black denim jacket and matching colored pants who also looked at her no less surprised. Rania looked at the man from top to bottom and then looked back into the man's eyes.

"You......"
