The Substitute Lover

TWENTY

Jovin raised the call on his Phonesel, shifted the green button and placed the flat object in his left ear. Suddenly cold sweat began to descend the temple of the Youth, accompanied by irregular heartbeat.

He himself also did not know why suddenly his feelings became restless.

At the end a girl's voice came from it.

"hallo darling....."

The first word the girl spoke from the.

"who are you..." Jovin asked, his heart growing unsettled.

"astaga." Say it again.

"Adira?. Why did you change your phone number?." Jovin asked a little suspiciously.

"it doesn't matter, now meet me at Hotel XXX, I'm waiting for you." Pinta.

Jovin frowned, and questions began to appear in his brain. Why is Adira in the hotel? why is everything suddenly strange? or is there someone who wants to play me? I better confirm whether Adira is in the Mansion or not. Mumbled.

Not yet Jovin contacted Adira, the voice in the phone was again heard.

"if you don't come now, your Adira will die and you will regret it."

Threatening the girl, Jovin grew increasingly foggy . His brain stopped working. Without a second thought he immediately snatched his suit draped in his oversized chair. Running in no direction. Making Sasa, his personal secretary was surprised to see the behavior of his superiors, while reprimanding the Youth.

"Sir.... Where are you going? why the rush.?." Ask her to panic.

"later if my brother comes here, tell him that I met my girlfriend at Hotel XXX." He said, and went away.

Sasa only scratched his head that was not itchy, too confused with his superior. But yes, he did not want to interfere.

Stupid Jovin without making sure in advance whether his current lover is in the Mansion or not. The only thing in her brain right now is Adira.... Adira.and Adira. He did not want to lose his love for the second time.

Elsewhere it is right in the branch of the Nichol family company that is managed by Johan.

"BRAKKKIS...

"SIALLEN....

Johan had told someone to track the whereabouts of the girl, not waiting long for the position of the Girl was found.

"oh ... it turns out that you still haven't carried out your plan girl ja**ng." Johan rang, without knowing that Adira had already carried out a one-step plan from himself.

"oh I have to make sure that Jovin is still in the office, after all I promised to meet him and go home together. I can't wait to see what surprises the house guys have prepared." He muttered, and got ready to go to the branch office of the company that is managed by Jovin.

While at the Mansion, the Nichol family is busy with birthday preparations for the second young master. Abila was so enthusiastic about preparing cooking with Madam Nichol of course her was helped by dozens of maids. Suddenly Mr. Nichol contacted Mrs Nichol and told her to accompany him to go out of town right now.

Madame Nichol unkindly approached Abila.

"sad...pardon Mommi having to leave now, are you okay at the Mansion alone?." He asked while stroking the girl's shoulder.

Abila smiled as she replied.

"there's nothing, madam,." He said so politely.

"can you call me Mommi? like when there was Jovin, I already considered you as my own dear son.." He said, so motherly.

"no Madam, I'm just running errands. My position here is the same as the maids. I know enough of Mrs's limits, once Mr. Jovin's lover returns I'll be out of here." Sahutnya, even though it feels so heavy just talking.

"no dear.you are part of our family, never equate your position with the maids here hm! Mommi go, baby, take care of yourself." Pamit Madame Nichol, last kissed Abila's forehead. Abila just smiled at the woman's departure, wanting to feel like she was crying right then and there, if only she could not remember who she was. It was not appropriate for him to cry for someone who did not belong to him, he was like just a small pebble on the face of the earth, which would never be able to match the stars in the sky so far from his reach.

Adira smiled, reading the sheets that had just been sent by his men.

"oh...a contract letter huh?...ck...I don't think you're as innocent as I am Abila. Even you've worked at the night club, it's very sad." Excited, read one by one information about the life of his twin brother, along with a letter of agreement between Johan and Abila. It's too easy for her to get all the information about the trip.

Jovin enters the hotel room Adira told him about. His steps felt so heavy, he felt that something bad was going to happen. I hope it's just a feeling.

Jovin carefully opened the door of the room, because it was deliberately not locked by the occupant.

Jovin entered the room, how surprised he was to see the appearance of his idol girl. What is seen now The girl wears a dress that is so minimal even translucent, with a sleeping position tilted with one hand as a buffer of her head. One hand held a glass of wine, and occasionally sipped the pomegranate-red liquid from inside his glass. So noticeable the girl did deliberately want to tease her.

Jovin berahan stepped forward, lying if he was not tempted by the appearance of the Girl. But strangely, his heart seemed to refuse . Jovin is still confused by his lover's attitude, why is it so different from Adira who he met this morning at the Mansion?. Thought it.
