The Line of Destiny for Us

Chapter 6 - Light from the moon

A car with lights that are still on is in the spacious parking lot of the apartment. When the lights are turned off, the parking condition becomes a bit dark only illuminated by some small lights that are not too bright.

Someone got out of the car and walked to the other side to open the car door for the woman he loved so much. It was Laras, he came with Jerome and intended to play at his house.

At one time, Beryl always came home late and thought for sure the man had not come home at this time. That was the reason why Laras brought Jerome to his residence.

The two seemed happy, embracing each other with Jerome's hand holding something.

It could be said that Jerome was a desperate man, how not, because the man was still approaching Laras even though the woman already belonged to another man. All his life, Jerome would never be willing if Laras lived happily with a man other than himself. Vice versa.

"Wait a minute here, I'll change my clothes" said Laras, telling Jerome to wait for him in the living room. The man nodded obediently and sat there.

Sure enough if Beryl has not yet arrived home, it makes Jerome calm because of the absence of the man.

Jerome raised his sizable shopping bag, took out some snacks he bought before he came to the house.

"I really think I'm her husband" the man's monologue, putting the snacks on the table.

Not waiting long, Laras has returned in a different suit. Wearing an oversize sweater along with sepaha shorts with original bound hair, made Jerome's lips wide open because of the beauty of his lover.

"Stop looking at me like that!" The barrel pushed Jerome's cheek so as not to continue to pay attention to him.

Jerome chuckled, his gaze unable to shift from the beautiful woman who was now sitting next to him. 

"I keep thinking who owns this beautiful woman?" goda Jerome, hugging Laras' body from the side.

Getting a crush from his lover, Laras smiled with blushing cheeks. Jerome's arm that still holds him.

"Yours?" laras replied, at which point he had a sweet kiss on his lips.

"It will always be mine!" jerome firmly, poking the nose shaft of the pointed barrel.

They both now justify their respective seating positions, their main goal is to watch netflix together at the Laras house and now the woman is soon looking for a movie channel that they will watch tonight.

Two more hours of romance movies have been played. Laras and Jerome sat next to each other on the sofa facing the large television set before them.

Laras seemed to focus on the film he was watching, but Jerome could not focus and instead made Laras the object of his observation.

"You want cassava chips?" bargain Baras, direct the snack into Jerome's mouth. The man chewed on the food in his mouth with his eyes still fixed on Laras.

Jerome tilted the corners of his lips, leaned his head on Laras' small shoulder and felt the fragrance of the woman's body.

"My head is so dizzy that it keeps thinking about you," the man murmured, making Laras turn to the side.

"I just want the time when we're together to never end. We will live together in the future and have a child that we will nurture lovingly," he continued, looking up slightly to be able to look at Laras' face.

"Focus on the movie!" reply Laras, who honestly could not help but smile because of Jerome's words just now.

Jerome raised his head again, but it was still directed at Laras. The man approached Laras' ear while whispering something, "I can't focus because of you." Kissing the ear, made the master shudder amused also because of the whisper of seduction that Jerome said.

Laras looked at Jerome, the man's face was already flushed red. Both eyes of Jerome look cute, so bewitching himself with just that look.

Baras understood what the man wanted, even now Jerome was already holding his nape and started to lose bit by bit the distance between them.

Baras's eyes began to shut as Jerome began to gently sweep the surface of his lips. The touch of the man's hand on his face was very hot, either Jerome had a fever or his body was burning because it was now.

Slowly, Laras opened his eyes as the kiss became more demanding. The barrel had difficulty breathing as the air supply in her lungs began to thin, until the woman struck Jerome's chest in a gesture.

"Yourfy.." Baras can breathe a sigh of relief now, his red face blushing makes Jerome even more anxious to his woman.

"Can't you not be too pretty? I'm almost crazy every time I see your beauty" said Jerome, peeping at the Laras temple, moving up to the cheek and ending at the woman's neck.

As if affected by medicine, Jerome could not hold himself back at this moment.

While out there, Beryl just got out of the apartment elevator. His body felt very tired, he wanted to immediately lay down his body on the bed to rest. Walking in a very quiet hallway, Beryl finally arrived in front of her house.

He opened the door, and entered the house. Taking off the shoes he was wearing, Beryl walked in with a sigh.

Quiescent.

Beryl was pecking at the spot when she saw a woman and the man in front of her were making passionate fondle, ruining her view. Beryl's hands clenched, holding back the anger of seeing his wife's behavior with another man.

"SUBSTANT!" finally, the two of them immediately stopped their physical contact right then and there.

Laras was a bit surprised, but he sighed because it turned out to be just Beryl. Shameless, Jerome smiled and greeted Beryl, who had returned home. He was waiting for this to happen, it seemed like it would be exciting to see Beryl's expression when he found out his wife was playing with fire with him.

"You know what you're doing is wrong?!" Beryl moved closer to them with her high voice.

Instead of feeling guilty or worried about her husband's feelings, Laras even turned the ball lazy banyl. Not a bit Laras cared about the feelings of Beryl, even he did not care about the look on the face of her husband who was very angry at this time.

"You broke our covenant!" his grunts, but Laras did not heed them either.

"YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME?!" snapped, at that moment Jerome immediately got up and approached him.

"Have you always been like that to my women?" Jerome patted Beryl's chest with the back of his hand.

Beryl looked at the cynical man who was now smiling sideways at her.

"Aren't you ashamed to admit a woman who's not yours at all!" His words just now made Jerome angry, to the point that he pulled Beryl's collar and lifted her up.

"Get me talk!" press Jerome, gnash his teeth.

There was no response from Beryl, the man just silently looked at the man who seemed eager to beat him up.

"STOP IT!" peeking Laras, broke both.

Beryl could have said that, Laras only belongs to him at any time.

"Can you go first? I have something to talk to Beryl about!" pinta Laras on her lover.

Jerome let out a rough sigh, and left with a raging feeling. When the door was closed, only those who were in the room. Barrel stared coldly at Beryl, also the other way around.

"Your words to Jerome were inappropriate" Baras said, making Beryl laugh at him.

"What you just did with your girlfriend here" she replied. 

"Don't we agree before? I don't care even if you sleep with your boyfriend. But.don't do that here! What if your parents or my parents came suddenly and saw that, just like I just saw. I think you're the one who's going to lose the most" Beryl said.

Plaque.

Baras slapped Beryl's left cheek, staring at the man who was taller than her.

"Why do you not know yourself so much? You forgot whose house this is? What right do you have to forbid me?!" emotions Barrel.

"My father bought this luxury apartment. And he helped you until you were this successful!" Laras accused Beryl, who was still standing in front of him.

"Who benefits the most in this marriage? Why are you acting so haughty and forgetting everything" he continued.

The barrel moved its legs one step closer to Beryl. The man's tie, his two clumsy hands tried to justify the collar of Beryl's shirt that was messy because of Jerome's actions, then he pulled the man's tie until Beryl raised his head.

On tiptoes, Laras brought his face closer to Beryl's ear to say something.

"If it wasn't for my family, your family would be broke and you might live a hard life" he whispered.

"I just wanted to warn you. Never cross your boundaries.." Baras grinned, then retreated distancing himself from Beryl.

Whether the man was angry or not, Laras now went out to meet Jerome who was certainly still waiting for him in the parking lot.

It looks like tonight he will stay at his girlfriend's house, because being at home will only make him more upset with Beryl.

Beryl was still on the spot, her hands clenched firmly withstanding the already burning emotions due to the utterance that Laras had made. If only she wasn't a woman, Beryl would've beaten her mercilessly.

Huffing a rough breath out of Beryl's mouth, his eyes looked at the messy snack on the table and the television that was still showing the film and they had not turned it off.

The man's left hand moved to loosen the tie he was wearing, he turned off the television and went to the room without cleaning up the scattered snacks first.

He was very tired, rethinking the behavior of Laras will increasingly make his head dizzy.

For now, Beryl is trying to calm herself down in the room.

...****************...

A person slept covered in a medium-sized bed, his small body began to tremble even though his eyes were still clenched from falling asleep.

Zeline clasped her hands together on the pillow, cold sweat began to pour over the surface of her face.

Within seconds, the pair of pretty eyes opened. Zeline's breathing was severed, her chest going up and down trying to calm down.

The woman felt calm because it was just a nightmare, but there was also a sense of annoyance because she could not sleep quietly every night.

Zeline's body moved to sit on the bed, her head turned to the side, looking at the scene out there through the large window of her room which she accidentally did not close with the curtains.

Zeline always turned off her room lights and made the moonlight out there as her sleep lamp.

"Can't I sleep in peace" said Zeline, hugging her still-blanketed knees.

Zeline shed tears on the quiet night, she felt lonely, she felt sad and worried about something that kept bothering her mind.

The woman's face lifted again, her cheeks wet from crying. All he wanted right now was calmness, Zeline wanted to sleep quietly and stop having nightmares.

Staring at the perfectly round moon, Zeline's feelings began to calm down when she saw it.

Zeline shuffled to grab something from inside her nightstand drawer. He obtained the usual sleeping pills he consumed every night, then he swallowed one of the drugs without the help of water at all.

Hopefully Zeline can sleep peacefully after taking the medicine. He rested his body while facing to the side. The woman's lips muttered, singing a song to calm herself down.

Thinks. Is there anyone who is going through a hard time as well right now, and making the view of the night sky a cure? Zeline only hopes for happiness for herself and people who experience similar things with her.

Stop singing. Slowly Zeline's eyes clenched due to the effects of the drug that made her become sleepy.

Away from there, there was a man watching the moon out there through the window. Beryl folded her hands together in front of her chest, not taking her eyes off the beautiful scene she was currently looking at.

The night is getting late but Beryl can not also fall asleep because she is still thinking about it. Beryl wants a divorce, really wants it. But he again thought about his mother who had not yet recovered from her illness.

The words from Laras made him angry. It could be that Laras thought all the achievements he had done with the results of his hard work were considered only because of the help of his father. 

All right, tell me right that the residence they currently occupy is a gift from Father Laras as a gift from their marriage.

But.. Laras' father had nothing to do with what Beryl did.

He managed to maintain his father's company that was going bankrupt, with his efforts not because of the father of the woman.

"Don't cross the line? He should also know my patience has its limits" monologue Beryl.

The man turned around and walked over to pick up his cell phone which was on the bed. The achievement of the object, Beryl slightly fiddled with his cellphone and ended up calling someone. That was his secretary.

As the call was connected, Beryl began to speak. "Find me a profile about a guy named Jerome Ghazwan, all about him starting from his family members, his job, and what he's been working on lately."
