The Journey of Young CEO Love

Part 39's. Tranquilize

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

Gio stepped his foot into his apartment listlessly. The incident where Ara lied to her is still clearly recorded in her brain. After cleaning up, Gio laid his body on the mattress and looked at the ceiling of his room. Today was so tiring for him, in the company with the brashness of his cousin who served as CEO where he interns told him to do so many jobs, plus the burden of his mind about the incident took care of his energy. He was tired, he wanted to sleep but had to think twice about doing that, he was not looking to meet his nightmare.

Gio sighed softly staring at the screen of his phone that did not stop blinking because of incoming messages from someone, but he ignored it. The call from his sister made Gio sit up and immediately shifted the green button.

"Where is ?", asked from across.

"Have you gone home from work yet?", asked Gea again.

"Udah, brother in the apartment, why ? Want to be picked up?", asked Gio.

"No, bang. Gea wants it, brother will come home no?", asked Gea again.

"Looks not. Tonight, my brother stayed in the apartment, said mother", replied Gio.

"Why the hell?" asked Gio.

"Kirain went home, Gea wanted nitip martabak. Yes Gea later asked to brother Zian aja, yes already good brother, later Gea said mother", said from across and then after saying hello Gea disconnected his phone.

Gio went out of the room and chose to sit on the sofa while playing his phone. The message from Ara had not stopped in asking for her whereabouts. Gio ignored that, he was still angry. He was not childish by ignoring Ara like this, but it was already his habit. If angry, he prefers to calm down until the mood returns to good. He opens up the type of person who if angry will koar-koar or rampage because he understands very well with himself. He was afraid that if he was angry and talked a lot, he would hurt others with his words or worse not be able to hold his own anger. He once hurt his sister because he was angry and ended up cursing Gea. He did not want it to happen again, especially to Ara.

Gio put his phone away and chose to lean his back on the back of the sofa, trying to close his eyes hoping that he would be allowed to sleep quietly this time. Today he was really tired and wanted to take a short nap.

While Ara after getting news from Gea where Gio's whereabouts, the girl rushed to Gio's apartment, not caring about the heavy rain that had been pouring down on the earth. Even the clock that shows at 5 pm was not ignored. He has to meet Gio. Besides, he's already contacted Aunt Ani if he's going to be home late.

After arriving at the door of Gio's apartment, Ara tidied up her appearance first, damp hair and a slightly wet shirt Ara let it go. Knocking on the door hoping someone opens the door but nil, several times trying the result remains the same. Ara tried to remember the password of Gio's apartment and then tried to suppress the numbers listed there, several times the experiment was finally open. The date of birth of his sister Gio used. What Gio did to his sister, I don't know Ara didn't want to think about it because she knew for Gio, her sister was everything. That's what he was to Gea.

Ara walked in looking for Gio after replacing her shoes with white sandals. Not yet looking for Gio, Ara had found the man sleeping in a sofa with a sitting position. Ara approached slowly not wanting to wake Gio up. Ara understood, Gio must be tired. The more Ara approached the more Gio's face seemed disturbed in his sleep.

"Nightmare again", murmured Ara who was already sitting beside Gio, rubbing Gio's frown and covered in sweat.

"What makes you so gini?", asked Ara very slowly.

"When can you be calm, when can't you ?",

"I see you who always lack rest but always force yourself to work. Do you not think at all about your health?", monologue Ara.

His hand was still rubbing Gio's forehead which was getting wrinkled in making Ara even more confused about what exactly happened to Gio. When he was about to hold Gio's hand, along with that Gio's eyes opened wide with hunting breath.

"Hey.", call Ara gently staring at Gio in the shade.

Gio silently still neutralized his breath and then clucked in annoyance. He wanted to destroy everything in front of him. Can't he just calm down for a second.

"Aarrrrgggghhh", Gio grabbed his own hair and shouted loudly making Ara surprised. The next second, the fitting of the flowers on Gio's table throwing into the wall made a shattering sound piercing Ara's ears. The girl was surprised instead of playing, the incident so quickly made her shocked.

Gio covered his face with both hands and the next few seconds heard a small sobbing sound that made Ara pulled back into her consciousness. The girl closed her body to Gio and took the man into her arms.

"Relax Gii, there I am" said Ara gently rubbing the usually strapping back that was now slumped weakly.

"Don't think about it, he'll go alone anyway" said Ara trying to calm down despite not knowing what he should do. He was only able to give her a warm hug to calm Gio down.

Ara never thought, this man who was stretched and hard was apparently storing his own wounds that even now he did not know what the cause was. Gio kept it to himself, not even his family knew of his weak state like this.

"Gue wants to die" said Gio interrupted by his small sobbing.

Ara took off her forced embrace and looked at Gio fiercely as her ears heard the remark. Ara felt dejaVu. Events like this have happened, the difference is Ara who is in the position of Gio now.

"Can't say that, Gii" said Ara gently trying to understand Gio, although it was undeniable in his heart that he cursed Gio for saying that sentence.

"Gue tired. I want to calm down for a moment but I don't know how" Gio said a little screamed.

"Didn't want to see me calm down, just a little bit. Does he not like me who does not know anything but I who play everything myself. I want him to go, I want to calm down", racau Gio grabbed his hair. Ara silently looked at Gio letting the man pull out his teardrops.

"I used to love him he never even hurt him but why am I now the one he tortured gini" shouted Gio. For whatever reason, he's tired.

The look on his face and his gaze was enough to explain that he was tired, wanting to get away from this state, a state where guilt was haunted to some extent until when.

"Gue's not wrong at all", said Gio.

Ara quietly did not know what to respond like because she did not know what kind of situation Gio had experienced to make it like this. Her chest was a little tight when she heard Gio say he loves someone. Ara trying to think positive does not want to increase the burden of Gio's mind.

"Gue was tired, Raa", and Gio dropped his head on Ara's shoulder.

Ara sighed softly as Gio finally kept silent no longer, he let Gio calm down while rubbing his back. Minutes passed, Ara heard Gio's regular breathing.

Ara helps Gio lie down on the sofa, then stares at Gio's long face. His hands stretched out to tidy up Gio's hair.

Ara sighed softly and then moved towards the room to pick up the blanket and envelop Gio, while she sat beside the sofa while continuing to look at Gio's calm face.

"Where are you?", asked Arsal who saw Ken just coming home at this hour.

"Do I need to answer?", asked Ken.

Arsal sighed softly his brother why the harder the day.

"Sit down first, I want a story" said Arsal trying to soften his brother. Although always fighting but in his little heart Arsal he longs for a time where he often shares stories and complains with his brother

"Gue was tired" said Ken about to step up, but again he held back as his mother came and sat down beside Arsal.

"Come home" said the middle-aged woman.

"So my brother stopped by the cafe first, Ma", said Ken softly. Only with his mother was he so soft. As for Arsal and his father alike, hard.

"Ken to the room first, ma", said Ken then stepped away after getting a nod from his mother.

"Arsal after brother first yes, Ma", Arsal rose from his seat.

"What do you want?", asked Rini, her mother.

"Die, Ma. Young man", said Arsal chuckling softly.

"Don't fight anymore" Rini recalled.

"Rini's mama. If not khilaf" said Arsal ran slowly up the stairs.

"Khilaf keep you up", said Rini made Arsal laugh. The middle-aged woman also did not know the reason her two sons often fought and fought. They used to be nothing like this, but after finishing in the gray period everything changed, more precisely when the girl was not around.

Arsal entered without permission and saw Ken sitting on the edge of the mattress while staring at the figura attached to the wall of his room. Arsal snorted, saying he hated it but their photo was still on display there.

"Ekhmmm", Arsal cleared his throat making Ken stare at his brother fiercely. It's always like this.

"Gue told me how many times, never go in my room" Ken recalled.

"You get to when the hell you lived in the past continues" said Arsal sitting on a sofa near the mattress.

"Don't interfere" said Ken Ketus.

"Gue needs to interfere, because I'm also part of you" Arsal said casually.

"Everyone has a past including me, but the difference is I don't want to constantly live in the past while you are really reluctant to move on" said Arsal.

"Lo know what the hell, Hah?", asked Ken. I don't know the discussion is like actually managed to provoke his anger.

"Lo hates people for no apparent reason. I know more than what you know but because you are basically stubborn and selfish, so never want to hear people's explanations first" said Arsal at length, said, looking at Ken with a mocking look.

"Lo remembers what he did for you, remembers what he fought for you, remembers he's your ever-present friend. One mistake he didn't actually make you forget all the good he did?", asked Arsal smiling obliquely.

"Where is your brain?", asked Arsal again.

"What the hell's wrong with him?", Arsal incessantly attacks Ken with questions that are actually just that - it makes Ken sick of himself.

"Udah years, bang" said Arsal tried to make Ken soft but still his efforts always failed. Ken is really stubborn. Arsal hit Ken's head with a large stone.

"Gue won't let him take mine for the umpteenth time", Ken's vision stared intently at Arsal who was sitting far away from him.

"Nobody took lo's, Ken", said Arsal casually. Return to call Ken without frills brother.

"Lo try it, open your mind. Think of it a little bit, the brain is still in use, do not just make it a display" said Arsal chuckled softly.

"Get out", snapped Ken.

"Gue actually here want to restore your brain function but because you snapped, do not be afraid I bonyok again" said Arsal stood up from his seat and went out.

"Find out before you hate, Ken. Before you admit things further and further add to your regrets later" said Arsal who stood on the doorstep . After saying that, Arsal actually left Ken speechless.

"Why indeed ? He was wrong", though",
