The sky looked hostile, drizzle began to pour down on the earth, making residents run to save themselves from the rain even though it was drizzling.
A food delivery man had just stopped his motorbike in the parking lot when he saw someone he knew. Attracted by his curiosity and heart-wrenching reaction when he saw that he was sure that the girl was his girlfriend.
"No way Clarissa." The man said, refusing to believe it. But make sure your heart and body are united to work together for the truth.
Short steps, the man's mind didn't want to believe it but the man's heart and body didn't want to turn around.
The girl was so spoiled by a man who was quite tall, wearing an expensive suit, from head to toe, even those shiny black loafers that Brian wouldn't be able to afford them no matter how many years Brian saved. Forget how the man looked, the center of Brian's attention was the girl the man thought was his girlfriend.
Brian Dhariftan, the food delivery man, followed them as soon as they got the keys to the hotel which he believed was a five star, they became more intimate even though they were blocked by security. Someone blocked him when he wanted to follow the two people.
“My lover is there, sir. I have to catch up," said Brian impatiently.
“You may not enter without permission, sir. Please come out," said a security guard who looked stern.
"But…."
Before Brian could say incentive, the man shoved him roughly, pushing him away from the door. But Brian didn't run out of ideas, the man looked for a way to get in and confirmed that it was his girlfriend.
After looking for the entrance, he looked back, followed the janitor, entered the corridor, the elevator and arrived at the floor where Brian was sure his lover had arrived.
"Room five hundred and eight," he muttered, remembering the hotel room number he accidentally saw earlier.
The ninth floor is a row of five hundred rooms. Brian stared at the number on the door with clenched fists, chest pounding, mind confused. What would he do there if it turned out his suspicions were correct that it was his girlfriend?
Okay. Brian called at door number 508. His hands were clenched tighter and tighter, even from outside he heard a strange and disgusting sound. A voice he often heard in dark places.
“He couldn't possibly do that. No, maybe." Brian's mind couldn't believe it, but his body couldn't move.
All he had to do was force the door open and arrest her, after that what would he do if his guess was correct?
Take a deep breath. Brian swallowed his saliva then raised his hand to knock on the door.
One, two, or three taps and nothing is heard when opening it. Brian gave up but then he heard the sound of the door opening. What will he do now? The man opened a gap in the door, should he go in or is that enough?
Preparing himself, Brian finally opened the door and entered the room and what did he see? Dam! His guess was correct!
“Clarissa?” He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the girl, naked, on top of a man's body.
The two people who were wrestling intimately turned around.
Brian's knees buckled when he saw that his girlfriend had betrayed him.
“W-what are you doing?” he asked in disbelief.
Feeling disturbed by the arrival of uninvited guests in the middle of their hot lovemaking activity, Clarissa chuckled and pulled the blanket up to cover part of her body. Casually getting off the hotel bed, her bare white feet stepped out.
Brian's attention was diverted, but his body was quicker to act. The man approached Clarissa and held her shoulder a little tightly.
“What do you mean do it with him? You…."
Brian couldn't say a word. Events that he never expected would occur in their relationship.
“Well, as you can see, we had fun.” Clarissa smiled proudly. “Which a man like you will never experience.”
"But you are my lover, Clarissa!" Brian shouted.
The man on the bed who had been watching came from behind and immediately pulled Clarissa into his arms.
"Be careful what you say to my lover," said the man, not accepting what Brian said. “Do you really think that my precious little girl loves you?” he said, then kissed Clarissa's lips deeply.
Ten seconds, and their lips just broke.
Brian froze in place with his eyes wide open. His lips were pressed tightly together. His fingers clenched tightly until the veins on his hands popped out.
“Stop it!” Brian's wrath. The man separated the hug between Clarissa and her sexual partner.
Clarissa suddenly pushed Brian's hand away from her body and slapped the man.
“You shameless bastard!”
"What did you say?" Brian looked at Clarissa in disbelief, ignoring the stinging throbbing on his cheek caused by the girl's slap.
"For months I was patient with you, put up with you who couldn't even give me anything." Clarissa snorted. "Wasting time! I thought you would be of some use, but even up to now, I haven't gotten any satisfaction from you. What a pathetic man!”
“But you know, I tried my best to fulfill all your requests. "You can see that I worked hard for it," defended Brian, still trying to explain it.
"I do not want to know! From now on, we have no relationship whatsoever. You are just a pathetic and shameless poor man!”
“Clarissa!”
Brian took a step forward but was blocked by the man.
“How impudent. I said don't bother my girlfriend, you bastard!”
Bugs!
One heavy blow hit Brian's jaw so hard that his body staggered. Not accepting what the man did, Brian returned a similar blow.
Bugs!
It hit the man's cheek as he fell backwards, only for Clarissa to hold the man's body.
“What are you doing, huh?” Clarissa was furious, her eyes almost came out of their sockets. “Honey, are you okay?” Clarissa asked worriedly at the man who was trying to straighten his body and wiped the corner of his lips with the back of his hand, apparently bleeding. His gaze was fixed on Brian who was breathing heavily, anger consuming him.
Brian tried to straighten his body. Instead of his jaw hurting and the corners of his lips bleeding, it was his heart that was worse seeing that his lover was actually more worried about another man.
Clarissa called security quickly before Brian threw another punch at the man. It didn't take long for two burly men to come to the hotel room and immediately ambush Brian.
“I remind you. Don't ever appear in front of me again, you bastard!” Clarissa said sharply. “Get him out of here!” he ordered the two people who immediately dragged Brian's body out.
Brian struggled, calling Clarissa's name but the girl ignored him.
The two security men continued to drag him out of the lobby, then Brian was thrown out of the hotel, collapsing on the rain-wet asphalt. His breath rose and fell, he couldn't believe what was happening. He stared at the hotel blankly.
Staggered towards the parking lot where the motorbike was. Brian's cell phone rang in his trouser pocket. The man received the call but immediately took the object away from his ear when he heard a woman's shrill voice that almost burst his eardrums."Consumers complained that the delivery took a long time and wanted their money back as compensation!”Brian realizes that he should be doing his job as a food delivery person. But now, he saw that his motorbike box was wet because of the rain. Brian opened the box, the food was cold.“Why are you silent, huh? Hurry back and cancel that delivery! You have to compensate for the delay, dammit!” cursed the woman who owns the restaurant which provides delivery services.The connection was lost before Brian even explained the reason. I don't know, his mind is now blank, his heart feels empty so he can't think clearly.Brian didn't care about the rain pouring down on him, he had to immediately return to the restaurant. Thinking that the restaur
Just to ask Brian, he had to get hit first before he could get an answer.The short, stocky man laughed, the sound bouncing around the small, messy room. It's nighttime, how could that man laugh like that?“Are you asking or are you stupid, huh? Look at this!" The man held up a piece of paper right in front of Brian's face. "This is proof that you are the guarantor for the money borrowed," he said."Loan? Debt? What do you mean? "I don't understand at all," admitted Brian."Do not understand? Here's the proof. You are Dion Wirana's guarantor. "Without further ado, you'd better pay within three days or I'll have you surgically removed to remove your precious internal organs." The man moved his finger from Brian's chest down, pretending to dissect his stomach.Brian was silent.The man who acted like a boss motioned to his subordinates to leave."I've never made any agreements, or even borrowed money from you guys," said Brian, stopping the short man in his tracks. "How could I have to
Brian immediately transferred the money to a mini market that provided money transfers. Luckily, this time he was able to immediately send him for treatment, his uncle's breath and life.“I just sent it. Use it to pay," said Brian when calling Dion, his uncle's son.Silence. There was no answer from the other side, there was only silence, no sound at all apart from sighs. Brian could feel something was wrong."What is it? Why are you silent?" Brian asked Dion to talk."I just paid the administration, but they said it was only enough for the opening, examination fees, post-operation and so on, it wasn't enough at all."This time Brian was the one who fell silent when he heard Dion's words. Not enough? How can it be that expensive? Even though he thought the money he had just sent was enough, but why?"Brother Brian, I will tell you after the operation is finished. Now I'm closing." Dion ended the call but Brian was silent and couldn't believe what his younger brother was saying."Not e
The life that Brian believed was fine with his limitations is now destroyed. He no longer had hope. People despise and insult him who has nothing. Is happiness so expensive to achieve for someone who was born poor and without parents? Is a happy life only for those whose families are complete and have money? Dreams just need to be achieved without having to try?Brian walked under the rain that fell that afternoon. The sky was dark with the roar of lightning striking. His mind was in a mess. The words he heard, the looks in his eyes, and the actions of people destroyed his soul which for the past fifteen years had been trying to survive. Do they know, it wasn't easy for Brian to get to this point, when he had a dark childhood in the care of his uncle, because his aunt didn't want him to be seen as a burden, but his uncle still defended him, cheering him on in the midst of torture and hurtful words. what his aunt said. Not to mention his cousin who confiscated all his belongings, tortu
But Brian didn't immediately open the package. His attention was focused on the contents of his house. He looked over his belongings, considering which to throw away or not. There are not many things, sofas, shelves and everything else except a small TV are part of the rental house.Brian went into his room, the contents were the same, he didn't bring much apart from books and clothes. He decided to clean it first, then take a shower, then think about other things like calculating how much he had to spend from the money he put into the account. His feelings were still mixed, between joy and fear. What if after the money is used, someone comes to take it. What he spends will be more.Brian packed all his books and dirty clothes, put them in the moving boxes he had, only one box and one suitcase of clothes, the rest he would leave at home.“Tomorrow I have to look for a new house,” he thought under the warm shower.His body was almost shivering with cold, he was stupid for not taking a
Bruk! Bruk!His fist hit one of the street thugs and he fell. What Brian did surprised them. One by one they started to attack but Brian had the upper hand, he kicked, threw punches, and even slammed the big bodies of the thugs and they fell in an instant.Brian trains in self-defense and takes advantage when the men are off guard. But that only knocked them out, it didn't make them faint at all. There was no time left, Brian grabbed the girl's hand and ran from there and two thugs got up to chase him.Brian took advantage of that little time. He realized that thugs like them wouldn't be easily defeated, that's why he just knocked them out and then took the girl to escape.“That way. Chase them!” One of the thugs shouted in a loud voice.Brian continued to run while pulling the girl's hand who kept looking behind her in fear. Brian then changed his running direction, turned, and continued to pull the girl. There was a small alley, Brian brought the girl closer to him. They caught thei
“By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet My name is Alessia Antheari, you can call me Alessia," said the girl as she reached out her hand to Brian.For a few moments, Brian just stared at the girl's outstretched hand in front of him, hesitant to be with her because once they touched, it was like lifelong contact with Brian."Are you sure?" Instead of answering, Brian asked a question that confused the girl."What?"“Are you sure you want to shake hands with me?”"Why not? So what?"Brian didn't answer, looking at the girl's hands which turned out to have long and beautiful fingers, as if he took good care of them."That means, you have to be with me for the rest of your life," said Brian, directing his eyes at the girl."I don't care. You were the one who saved me, sir. So, okay.” Alessia raised her hand again to shake Brian.Seeing the girl's confidence, Brian raised his hand and shook it."Brian Dhariftan, you can call me Brian, no sir," he said.Alessia smiled broadly as soon a
Brian went to one of the houses, whether it was a beautiful mansion in an elite area,- or one of the units on the top floor called the penthouse. Throughout the journey, his mind was busy guessing who would be willing to spend money on poor people like himself."So, where are you going now?" Alessia asked. The girl sat next to Brian on the bus that would take them to one of the houses."I don't know. I'll check first which one I feel comfortable with," Brian answered without looking at the girl.Their introductory handshake was like shaking hands for a servant and master contract. Brian had explained it and Alessia didn't mind because she would only follow whoever had saved the girl from disaster. If Brian didn't come, maybe his honor would be tarnished. Brian was surprised to hear Alessia's words. This tells Brian that there are still people who protect his honor, just like Brian.Both houses can be reached by bus or taxi, the distance is only about twenty minutes. The distance from
