...---Happy reading---...
Time goes by so fast, these two weeks Gio spent just being in the office. Due to apprenticeship reasons, Gio has rarely entered campus and now he is transformed as an intern at the office managed by his cousin, Aresal Ananda. His current position is no longer a CEO but an ordinary intern and he can blend in well. He pursues his graduation faster in order to easily manage his own company and can soon marry his girl-ehh.
Speaking of Ara, though, there was a bit of relief for Gio when he found out that his girl was also one week old and what made him even more happy was that she was apprenticed at the head office he was working with but now her father was take over for a while. But even so, he could know Ara's daily life and one more, every afternoon he could pick up Ara.
This morning Gio decided to enter the campus because there were some things he had to take care of. His mood was so good because last night he had met Ara. Only the girl was able to make her mood better.
"Gioooooo", the shriek of a girl makes Gio snort. He knew the voice, but Gio was paying attention to his ears, he did not want to ruin his morning mood today. His feet continued to step without bothering to turn around or respond to the call.
"GIOOOOOO", shouts from other people managed to make Gio's steps stopped and turned to stare flatly at Arsal, his best friend.
Okay now he will not only face the riotous girl but also his stupid best friend who is already god level.
"Why?", asked Gio after the two men arrived in front of him.
"You're an intern, you deserve a quiet campus there is no you" said Rania. Honestly with his apprentice Gio made him also lazy to kekampus because there was no man.
Gio did not reply, not even looking at Rania. He just stared at his best friend waiting for what Arsal would say.
"Lo's not in the company?", asked Arsal.
"Izin falter, I have business" said Gio.
"Why is this here?", asked Gio. Arsal was supposed to be in an apprenticeship today, but his best friend was suddenly here, which astonished him.
"Fog, lazy in the company mulu", he answered lightly. Arsal pulled Gio to continue in his footsteps as if there were only the two of them.
"About own company", said Gio.
"Anything must be used, young master. Do not like you have become a CEO even tired of being a member again", said Arsal again.
"The name is learning", said Gio.
"You have learned from before. He was smart from birth. Which should have learned a lot. I'm really excited" said Arsal.
"It's conscious", said Gio.
"Why don't you learn and wander?", asked Gio.
"My father is rich. Ntar if I learn to continue to get richer, I'm dizzy to spend my money how", said Arsal again.
Okay it looks like Gio has to multiply his patience stock. This friend of his is very difficult to be taken seriously, there are only answers that he gives.
"Sunny", said Gio.
Seeing Gio leave him alone, Rania does not stay silent to pursue Gio. Although annoyed at not being harried at all but he will not give up until Gio also learns to accept it.
"Later yuk road", take Rania.
Gio turned his head with raised eyebrows, "gue is busy", he said later.
"Busily mulu, there's never been a time with me" said Rania.
"Emang lo who am I?", asked Gio stabbing. Sometimes it is like that, the man's speech is sometimes spicy for people he does not like.
"He wants to go with me, Nia", said Arsal from the side.
"We're going to have lunch together. Don't you love?", asked Arsal then blinked one eye at Gio
"Crazy", muttered Gio.
"Oh Rania, that's it. Why are you chasing this two-door refrigerator, mending the same me" said Arsal.
"Sir, why. I love Gio", sahur Rania.
"But Gionya did not want to and Fyi Gio already had a girlfriend", said Arsal so excited to make Rania stuck in place.
Gio just sighed softly looking at Arsal's behavior. Should his best friend be leaking it, but it doesn't matter either. This excuse he could use to get Rania away from him.
"We had basketball practice together" Arsal said again, unaware of Gio's horror.
"They've been dating for almost a month. So you're the same as me, how ?", asked Arsal again.
Rania pulls Gio's hand so that the man stops stepping. Gio threw his hand out slowly then looked at Rania flatly.
"That's really?", asked Rania with teary eyes.
"Yes", Gio replied briefly.
"But why, Gio. All this time I fought for you, why would anyone else get?", asked Rania blankly.
"Gue never liked you. Ask yourself what I hate" Gio said.
"Gea", Rania said.
"Just because I was bluffing you by using Gea, you up to so much hate the same me?", asked Rania.
"Just?", asked Gio.
"Lo said only?", he continued
Gio stepped closer to Rania, slightly bowing himself to align with Rania's small body. While Arsal only observed the two, not wanting to interfere.
"If your apology can turn my sister's mental, I won't think twice. If you say sorry you can turn my sister like I never thought twice to learn to accept you. But.", Gio's words hang. The man then straightened his body and again gave distance.
"Lo never did anything bad to Gea, my sister was so traumatized and you said it was 'just'?" said Gio staring at Rania flatly.
"Waw, you're amazing Rania" he said again.
"Gue never hates people for no reason. I never hate people when they hurt me. But if it's about my friends and family, especially Gea without a second thought I'd hate that guy forever" he continued. After saying that, Gio turned around and left Rania who was still silently sculpting.
"Stop, Rania" said Arsal before catching up with Gio. He knows what his best friend is and he knows Gio if he can do anything.
"GUE WILL SELL ANYTHING SOAR LO CAN BE THE SAME ME", shouted Rania who can still be heard by Gio and Arsal. It was fortunate that the campus corridor was a little quiet until only a few people saw Rania shout.
"Crazy girl", muttered Gio.
...---🌻🌻🌻---...
"Ra, someone's looking" said a female employee who came to see Ara.
Ara frowned confusedly. Who, he thought. If it's Gio he doesn't even need to be like this. This is his company so he is free and during the internship Gio never met him if working hours like this, another he never met Ara before telling the girl.
"Who are you?", asked Ara to employees who have worked here for a long time.
"No idea, your friend. Meet first who knows what is important" said the female employee.
"It's okay, it's almost lunchtime too. There meet first" said the woman with the Vera nametag.
Half-heartedly Ara nodded. Actually not good but want how else, right said the woman earlier, who knows is important right.
After descending to the ground floor and walking towards the company's cafeteria-like room, Ara reached someone sitting by herself and Ara was sure Ara knew the person. With a forced move, Ara approached the person and without permission sat down before him.
"What's the matter?", asked Ara to the point.
"I want to talk to you", said the man who is none other than Ken.
"Yes, what's wrong. I don't have much time" said Ara.
"Stay away from Gio" Ken said straight to the point.
Ara frowned confusedly, can Ken see the look of dislike when on Ara's face when saying that.
"What right do you have?", asked Ara not like it.
The man in a white shirt in front of him is outrageous. Ara does not like if her personal life is disturbed and who she is to have to manage Ara's life.
"Gio's not as good as you think, he's evil Ara. He's nothing more than a psychopath" Ken says.
"Dear your words" said Ara wrathfully. He doesn't like it when people belittle Gio, so much so that Gio is a psychopath.
"What are you talking about like that. You know him ? Not" said Ara again.
"I know him better than you, Ara. Believe me" said Ken not to lose.
"I can't believe it" said Ara again. To be sure, her lover was even so kind to her.
"Why should he be Ara?", asked Ken again.
"I can even handle more than he can handle" Ken said.
"The feeling of people no one knows, and I like him is not because of what he has" said Ara upset, could-be men judge him like that.
"Well, you forced me. I will show you what kind of person he is" Ken said with a slanted smile, seeing that Ara was a little frightened.
"I want to work again" said Ara got up and wanted to move but had not been able to move away, checks on his hands managed to stop his steps.
"Lepasin", snapped Ara, but free. Once Ken's movements managed to lift Ara's body and force her into the car. The aura is revolting, of course, but it feels useless if the energy compared to Ken's energy is unusually strong.
"Sorry, Raa. You forced me" Ken said after forcing Ara to come with him. By driving his car, Ken occasionally turned to Ara who was still trying to form a bond of his hand that Ken had tied earlier.
"You're so insolent, no way" said Ara annoyed. His hand was already sore from rubbing against the rope.
"Gue has said, I will get you both in a smooth and rough way. And it seems that the subtle way is not effective, even you are more choosy of others, so I use the rough way" Ken said hearing the way and Ken's tone made Ara more frightened. Ken is a reckless person and what he has said he will do.
"Lepasin Ken", pinta Ara.
"Will not", said Ken.
Ara snorted and went back to silence, focusing on unbinding on her hand. He did not want to die in vain in this man.
After a few minutes of driving, Ara and Ken stopped at a place where they didn't even know what it was. Ken gets out of the car and forces Ara down and drags the girl along with him. When the door opens, Ara can see the room like a room used for exercise or even a swimming race. And this room is very, very spacious. Ara swallows the salivary rough, will Ken drown him to death or will kill him and make his body into the pool. Ara can't think straight anymore. He was afraid and hoped that someone could save him from here.
On the right side close to the dressing room, there was an empty room that Ken used to hold Ara. Why did Ken bring him here, because only this place was far from the reach of the people and only this place was quiet at this hour. She could have taken Ara to her apartment but her mother always came there every afternoon. She did not want to shock her mother for watching her torture women.
"Detachable. Why did you bring me here" asked Ara still trying to escape.
Ken was silent and focused on tying Ara's small body on a bench. When it was finished, Ken got up and stood before Ara.
"Lo stay here, the cave will take you away from this country. Until someone else doesn't see you anymore" Ken said, causing Ara to panic.
"Please Ken. What do you want?", asked Ara with teary eyes, Ken's words just managed to disturb her. What Ken can't do, anything can happen. His obsession with Ara could make him do that. And if that happens who's looking after her grandmother.
"You want me?", asked Ken to point to himself and bow to align his body with Ara.
"You", he replied as he stroked softly Ara's cheek.
Ara turned her face away from Ken's touch.
"Gue can do anything right now here, Ara" Ken said with a piercing look.
"There's no one. It's just me" Ken said again. His hand raised raised Ara's chin for the girl to look at him.
"We can do that so you can be completely mine" Ken said. Ara's tears escaped when she heard Ken's words, for whatever reason she was afraid.
"Gio", muttered Ara slowly hoping that the man would come and save her.
"Don't mention her name, pretty", Ken remembers being gentle but scary to Ara.
"He's not coming" Ken said.
"Giooo" said Ara boldly.
"Gue said don't mention her name", Ken snapped to Ara's surprise.
"Gio Gio Gio Gio Gio Gio Gio Gio" Ara said boldly.
Plaques
One slap landed on her cheek making Ara turn her head with a stifling sting, the corner of her lips ripped and let out fresh blood. No problem, he has often felt it.
"Gio" said Ara even louder.
"DIAM", Ken snapped thunderously.
"GUE SAID SHUT UP. DON'T MENTION THE NAME HE'S IN FRONT OF ME" Ken said again with mounting anger.
"Giooo" cried Ara fearlessly.
Looking at the stubborn Ara, Ken holding Ara's powerful jaw with one hand made Ara again shrouded in fear. Ken drew his face closer to Ara's. The thumb of the man gently rubbed Ara's pink lips to make Ara bristles. Ara tried hard to escape but failed.
"Gue said don't call him in front of me" Ken warned again.
"Gio", muttered Ara while sobbing softly. Wishing the man she had mentioned her name would come and save her.
Okay Ken was getting sick of it, he had to teach this stubborn girl a lesson, Ken was getting closer to Ara's face, when he was about to kiss Ara's lips, the sound of the door opening violently shifted the attention of the two.
"Lo touch him, you're dead"
