The Substitute Lover

TWELVE

At the end of each day, Abila was able to breathe a sigh of relief as she was freed from the Nichol family. He can rest in his apartment without being watched by the young master who is quite possessive. Although he is still guarded by several Bodyguards outside his apartment, but nothing is not too disturbing as well. Abila can only pray before going to bed, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day than the previous days.

But it turns out that the next day the goddess Fortuna has not sided with her. The more his life gets more unlucky. Jovin never even gave the slightest freedom to her. The young man could only have Abila follow him wherever he went. Though Abila really wanted to meet with her friends, but not given permission . Until he really felt so sick of being treated like that. The young man's life was too monotonous, colorless .

Only one that Abila was afraid of if he was always near the young man, he was afraid of falling too deep by the love that grew at all times. The more Abila spends her days with Jovin, the more love that grows in her heart, she is afraid she can't hide that feeling. It is true that Abila said she did not love Jovin, but her heart rejected that remark.

And in the end Abila vented her emotions on Johan, because because of the actions of the young man she became trapped in this complicated feeling.

Abila invites to meet Johan at her Apartment after returning from the Nichol family Mansion.

"Why did you tell me to come here hm? you miss me, don't you?." seduced Johan while raising her eyebrows.

Abila just rotated her eyeballs, too lazy to hear the speech of this young man beside her.

"ch.... disgusting, why do I miss people so-moment like you ha..?" decih Abila throws a sofa pillow over Johan's face.

Johan chuckled crisply.

"then..why did you ask me to come here? you need something?." she asked later, seriously.

Abila just shook her head slowly and replied.

"no... I don't need anything, when will my suffering end Brother? I'm lazy if every day to accompany Jovin everywhere." he lamented.

Johan sat facing the girl and smiled so gently.

"really ? for reasons of laziness ? not for any other reason?." more precisely a statement was not a question that the young man asked.

Abila tilted her head, asking.

"what does Brother mean?."

"i'm sure you understand what I'm saying Bil, because I know you're not a stupid girl."

"i really don't understand what you're saying, sister." again.

"huh, should I explain? okay I'll explain. You just reasoned to be lazy to accompany Jovin, because actually you just want to avoid him. You're afraid of your feelings, you're dismissing your interest in Jovin. Is everything I say true Abila?." Johan said with a lift next to his lips.

Abila widened her eyes, her taut fingers squeezed the ends of her dress, until her nails looked white.

"ba...how do you know?." she was so scared.

" only a fool doesn't realize it." he said flatly.

Abila was sobbing, she was afraid because what she felt was all wrong.

"ma.. I'm sorry Brother. I'm sorry." so heartbreaking.

Johan approached the girl's body and clasped her into an embrace.

"you're not wrong, no one knows when that feeling will come. If you feel love for Jovin that's natural, every day you're with him, receiving his attention. No doubt your love will grow by itself. But I have to remind you, you will only feel pain in the end. Jovin loves you only because he thinks of you as Adira. I don't want you to feel disappointed later. Although to be honest, I'd rather agree that Jovin is with you than Adira."

"i have to how....? what should I do, sister?." asked Abila in frustration.

"it all depends on you, only you can control everything" he replied, stroking the girl's black mane.

The next day Abila does her usual routine, going to the Nichol family's Mansion to meet with Jovin.

Abila went straight to Jovin's room.

"honey... May I not come with you today to the office?" he said.

Jovin approached Abila and sat down beside her.

"i'm just bored." whine her.

Jovin smiled gently as he thrust a black card at the girl.

"emmm.this ."

Abila was confused, with a question mark filled look.

"what's this?."

"black card. "answer her with her innocent facial features.

"yes everyone knows that it's a black card, you idiot." he said.

"didn't you just say that you're bored, first if you're bored, you always want to go for a walk and shop ."

Abila was still silent while thinking.

What's really inside her brain, I don't think that Adira used to be so materialistic.

"ah.. lah do not think much, let me accompany." said Jovin, maybe his lover is currently wanting to be accompanied, batin.

Jovin grabbed Abila's wrist, without hearing the girl's rejection.

"hey. how about your job." asked Abila a little scream.

"a day off is okay, right? for my beloved's sake." he said so casually.

Abela smiled a little.

If you were really mine, I would feel like the luckiest girl in the world. But it is all just an assumption, it can never be real.

They also entered a luxury car that was ready to be tendered in the courtyard of the magnificent Mansion.

Jovin drove his car somewhere, which Abila did not know about.

Jesus, where else is this young man going to take me? just be careful if he dares to take me to the hotel and do something that is not-no. I'll mutilate until her pride is exhausted.

Abila unceasingly grumbled in her heart with lips torn out.

Jovin who felt strange asked.

"honey... Why are you pouting?."

"actually where do you want to take me?." instead of answering, Abila just asked back.

"somewhere, we'll have fun baby." replied Jovin with a cheerful smile.

Abila bit her lower lip.

Well....he said he wanted to have fun, he meant to have fun which how? oh God please take care of my virginity.

Unknowingly Abila covered her chest with both of her palms.

"honey...you're cold? why hug your own body like that?." asked Jovin with his innocent look.

"he.he.no, I'm just a little uncomfortable because the AC's on." her bland snick.

"oh... Why didn't you say that earlier? let me turn it off now." Jovin shut down his car's AC. And continue the journey without making any more noise. Before long the car stopped in front of a shopping mall for Branded's largest goods in the city.

Abila was a little confused, why did this young man bring me here? so all my thoughts were wrong?
