Trapped in the First Kiss.
17. The Helper.
Richard who was immediately hypnotized by Intan's beauty, forgot to disconnect the phone, even though the person who called was in sight. He still stuck the phone to his ear, while staring at Intan without blinking. But Intan who saw it was even upset. Because he didn't realize that the person Richard was calling was himself.
"Mas, who's calling again?" ask Intan but Richard did not answer at all. The cold man was already like a lost man.
"Mas... Who are you calling?? Want to go to the show??" Intan immediately raised the tone of voice, which made Richard aware and immediately misbehaved.
"I, I again contacted Kevin," Richard replied as he tried to avoid eye contact with the beautiful girl.
"Let's go!" he shouted and immediately entered the parked car.
As usual, Richard the polar bear just focused on driving, without any intention to apologize to Intan for the incident. His attitude further irritated Intan. And because he did not want to be influenced by what was in his mind, Intan also chose to enjoy his favorite music. Just now that the music was buzzing, Richard was already staring at him about to make a sound. But he had not yet opened his mouth, Intan's voice was already blaring, singing Umbrella's song, following the original singer Rehanna.
Richard finally got away with what happened. Sometimes he shook his head to see Intan who was like a professional singer, performing Umbrella with a voice that was really not pleasant to hear. It turns out that the famous celebrity Intan has a voice that is so bad when singing. But that lack, did not diminish even the slightest bit of his confidence. And Richard who could not afford to stay too long in that situation, immediately added the speed of his car without a sound.
"Turn off music! My head was dizzy to hear your singing" exclaimed Richard, after their car was about to enter the grounds of a building where the event took place.
Intan who was almost out of breath sang in an irregular tone, immediately obeyed Richard's orders, and leaned on the back of the car seat speechlessly. His frustration with Richard, could finally be channeled by singing since the trip a few minutes ago. And he was not at all concerned with Richard's assessment of his singing, which he himself realized was so bad to be entertainment.
Just down the car, Intan and Richard have been welcomed by so many journalists, who just finished interviewing Aldo the famous actor who is known to be so close to Intan.
"Mbak Intan, ask for a moment," said one of the reporters, while bringing the recording device closer to Intan.
"What is the future husband of Mbak Intan is the right choice? Because what is known to many people, if Mbak Intan is also close to Mas Aldo."
"Oh yeah, he and I are close. But only a co-worker. And if it's about my future husband, he's definitely the right choice for me. Because there is no woman, who is wrong to choose a man as handsome and as great as him. So there's no reason for me to say it's not right." Intan's answer is so clear.
"If so, we ask her future husband."
"Are you not afraid of a rival? By the way, this Madam Intan is very beautiful, and idolized by many people. It could have been her Madam Intan involved in love location with her co-star."
"No. I'm never afraid of anything." Richard's answer was like a mobster when asked by the police.
b"Oh, yes sir. Well if that's it. Thanks for the time." The reporters instantly goosebumps hearing Richard's reply, also seeing his expression.
For three hours the event took place. Intan who was sitting side by side with Richard, suddenly visited by Toni Aldo's assistant. The man asked her to come with him. And Intan immediately followed him, without telling Richard, who was busy chatting with some of his business clients.
Toni brought Intan to a room that had been prepared for the meeting of Intan, Aldo, and several others. After greeting everyone, the beautiful girl immediately sat right between Aldo and a man. They talked about working together for almost an hour.
Richard, who was only then aware of Intan's departure, began to look back and forth with an unpredictable expression, between anger, worry, or confusion. And not for long, he was approached by Alif, who came to ask for Intan's whereabouts. While Intan is still in another room, it starts to be confused because Aldo has not returned from the toilet since a few minutes ago. At that time he was sitting with several people from the agency that offered cooperation.
"Sir Boss, where is Intan?" ask Alif.
"Try your phone!" exclaim Richard.
"No active boss." Alif's answer, which made Richard start thinking about incoming messages on Intan's phone.
"Okay, maybe he doesn't want to be disturbed" Richard said, turning to his business clients. Alif went straight back to his place.
Intan who was waiting for Aldo's arrival began to worry, when he saw the state of some men who were with him. Those who were drinking a few bottles of drink, started talking about dirty things.
"Mbak Intan, isn't there a recording artist that can be used for one night?" ask one of the men, who is about 45 years old.
"I, I don't know either" replied Intan nervously.
"If you can't?" ask the others.
"No, I can't sir. I, I already have a future husband." Intan grew increasingly frightened, looking at the gazes of several men before her.
Sensing the situation was not conducive, Intan immediately pulled the phone out of the bag, and contacted Richard. But no phone had yet been connected, a man sitting close to her, had pulled her to kiss her.
"Don't Sir... What the fuck is this Father?? I'm not the woman you're talking about." Intan immediately pulled out her hand, but the man instead hugged her, which made her phone flung under the table.
"Don't... Unleash it... Mas.. Mas Richard help me." cried Intan in tears, shouting Richard's name.
The man tightened his arms and again tried to kiss Intan. While some of his other colleagues, just sit in their respective places while laughing. But all of a sudden, the door was locked, kicked very hard by someone. And that person was none other than Richard. Richard was silent for a moment, staring at what was happening.
"Sir Richard.. You, you here too?" ask the man who wanted to harass Intan. Hurriedly he let go of Intan and rewinded the position to move away.
Without answering anything, Richard immediately stepped forward and beat up the man mercilessly. Repeatedly his punch landed on the face, and lastly on the abdomen, which made the man fall on the floor with a face covered in blood. While several other men, immediately prostrated to beg Richard for mercy. And at that very moment, came Aldo with Alif and others.
"Although Mr. Richard, we do not know it will happen like this" said several men simultaneously. But Richard who had been controlled by anger, even hit them until they lay helplessly lined up on the floor.
"Intan, what's going on??" ask Aldo in shock.
"They almost raped me when you went to the toilet. Why didn't you tell me you were gone all this time?? Don't you set me up??" tanya Intan with tears, standing facing Aldo.
"I, I don't know anything Tan. Please don't misunderstand me" Aldo said as he reached for Intan's hand. But Richard quickly stopped him.
"Don't bother him, if you don't want to be the same fate as them." The cold man immediately grabbed onto Intan's shoulders, and stepped away followed by the assistants.
