Descending the stairs lightly, Brian prepared to leave with Alessia. The man wore ordinary clothes that seemed relaxed and depicted him as still young. Of course, Brian is still a student at a well-known university.Brian waited for Alessia in the television room while putting a watch on his wrist then turned around when he heard footsteps. But Brian then fell silent when he saw the girl's appearance.Holding back his laughter, Brian shifted his gaze from up to down the girl. Alessia's style remains the same, like a female bodyguard."Is there anything strange?" Alessia asked."No. But wait a moment," said Brian while still wearing his watch.As soon as he finished, Brian approached the girl.“Don't be too stiff or formal. It’s Saturday night, who comes home from work on a Saturday night?” said Brian while chuckling.Alesia's cheeks looked red, a little embarrassed by it.Brian for a moment to change Alessia's style a little. Even though she didn't understand, Alessia let go of what B
"It's me! You forgot, didn't you?” the girl repeated, even sitting in the empty chair in front of them.Alessia glanced at Brian who was glancing at her."You… looked familiar, but I forgot," Brian admitted uncomfortably.However, the girl laughed as if Brian's response was normal.“I thought you would forget. You've never really looked at a girl and then remembered her. You haven't changed at all,” said the girl.Brian glanced at Alesia again, confused. How did the girl find out?“It's me, Reyna. The girl who always follows you everywhere,-" said the girl.Brian squinted, trying to remember. In his mind, slowly the image of the face of the vague figure in his memory emerged, starting from a head of black hair, thin black eyebrows, slightly narrow eyes, a sharp nose, thin white cheeks, and thin lips that often smiled. , and a sharp chin with a small mole on his right jaw. This girl likes to talk, more specifically to annoy Brian who remains indifferent."Ah, the girl who always bother
Brian is always amazed. Alessia can change attitudes and feelings very quickly when faced with food. What's special? That girl always had her way of entertaining. Even though she didn't pay as much attention to Brian as usual, Alessia still ate her dinner happily. For Brian that alone was enough.“The girl avoided me, or spoke briefly to me, which made me feel uncomfortable. What's wrong?" said Brian as he watched the girl who was still busy eating.As soon as Alessia looked up and looked at Brian, the man did the opposite, pretending not to notice and enjoying his food.Someone in the distance watched with a small, sad-looking smile.Brian may not be good at relationships and is sometimes confused about how to act with a girl. Brian is not very good at taking the initiative in opposite-sex relationships, and more often keeps his distance, or if possible, prefers to avoid him. However, his attitude was enough to make several girls interested, including Reyna.Because, that's how Brian
"I'll just shop there," said Alessia, breaking the silence in Brian's car.The girl's index finger pointed forward, at the supermarket board not far from them."Okay," Brian said and concentrated.The road is quite busy with passing vehicles, so Brian needs to concentrate on crossing his vehicle and be careful to avoid traffic accidents. There was a policeman who helped Brian and then thanked the policeman. Once he managed to park in front of the supermarket, it turned out to be quite busy too."This place is quite big too," said Brian as he lowered his body to look at the supermarket sign."It seems the needs here are complete," answered Alessia, who had already untied her seat belt.Brian nodded his head and followed the girl, unfastened his seat belt and they got out together. Alessia was busy with her bag, rummaging through its contents and taking out a piece of paper that the girl had brought.Alessia invited Brian to come in. Even though her attitude looked normal, Brian felt th
Brian put his shopping in the back trunk and then closed it. Alessia breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl smiled."I'll bring this to the front later," said Alessia, showing the white plastic bag containing the snacks Brian had bought earlier."Okay. Let's go home, it's too late," said Brian.Alessia nodded her head and they walked to the side of the car then got in and sat down as usual. Brian still wanted to drive even though Alessia volunteered.It was getting late at night but it wasn't quiet out there at all, it was getting busier with people who wanted to spend the weekend drinking, or going to clubs and many other places to hang out until the morning.Brian is not that type of person, even though Brian usually spends his time until almost morning, at that time Brian is working."You want something?" Alessia offered.Brian glanced over and said he wanted a drink. Alessia gave Brian a drink.Silence. For a while, no one spoke. Brian concentrated on driving, and Alessia was sil
"You still here?" Alessia's voice brought Brian out of his reverie.The man looked up and saw Alessia walking towards him. Brian put a small note in his trouser pocket and smiled at Alessia."I still want to be here," admitted Brian, directing his gaze to the cellphone screen in his hand.“You want something? Snacks, perhaps?” Alessia offered.Brian looked up again, silent for a moment."Yeah," said Brian."Okay. Wait a moment," said the girl. Brian nodded.Alessia returned to the kitchen to prepare the evening snacks they would eat at the table. Brian looked back at his cell phone, thinking in his heart.Is Brian trying to protect Alesia's feelings by ignoring Reyna? Even though meeting the girl was quite fun. Reyna can make Brian follow the flow of the conversation, while Alessia listens more."What is my relationship with her?" Brian thought. His eyes moved to glance at Alessia.The girl had been accompanying Brian for several months, and because she was used to it and felt comfort
Morning has replaced the role of night. Brian carries out his activities as usual and is now sitting at his desk after breakfast. Brian intends to read the entire contents of the file on the USB which makes him curious whether it is a company secret or just learning material.Brian wasn't sure if all the data was wrong. While engrossed in reading the sentence structure and rows of numbers as a transaction report or company net profit, Brian realized something was odd."The employee salary budget was suddenly cut for no reason even though the company's monthly net profit is quite extraordinary, but the employees have to suffer. Oh, come on. They are not slaves," said Brian while staring at his still-silent computer screen.The file that Brian read was a report from the finance team which handled many things including data. Brian realized something was wrong.“Some reports are inaccurate. But where does the money go?” Brian thought.Exhale roughly. The man again read every sentence very
Back to busy Monday activities. Brian went to the office feeling light. Bringing his car as usual, Brian greeted the team members who were with him in the parking lot. James always looked neat in everything except when he was drunk."You seem to be in a good mood today, Brian?" James noticed Brian in the elevator.Brian glanced briefly then smiled."That's good. "It has to be like that," said James with a smile.In the elevator there were not only the two of them,- but also employees from other divisions.“You stayed up late again?”Brian's attention was drawn to the front where the sound came from."Well, what can I do besides staying up late, even on holidays," said the long-haired girl who looked a little messy.“You should just let it be. That's not your job. Besides, what do you get from working overtime on Saturdays and Sundays besides being tired?” commented the short-haired girl. The girl's gaze fell on her partner who just sighed.Brian listened to what they were talking abou
For a long time, he was silent in the room with his reflection in the mirror. The big event finally took place tonight, at one of the five-star hotels owned by the Kent Group. Brian looked at his reflection in the mirror. Everything was ready, and he looked perfect in a navy suit, Brian let his hair a little messy to make an impression, after all, that was his style. His watch was on, and so were his shoes."Let's go, Young Master," said Kiara, peeking at Brian from behind his bedroom door. The girl's smile always seduced him.Brian turned around,- and nodded.Kiara welcomed Brian, hugged the man's arm affectionately, and even laughed happily as she walked down the stairs in a long-sleeved, knee-length navy dress, just like Brian. Manda didn't want her daughter to show off her curves so she designed a dress that was closed but elegant. Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.
Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop
Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”
After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would
"I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise? Brian doesn't know, but now the question is why his mother left after trying to survive
“You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so
"So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?" Brian asked in a weak voice.Brian's chest was now rumbling, there was a feeling of tightness touching his chest. What might Brian have heard from Azil about his mother making secret decisions?Azil sighed, focusing his gaze on Brian who was waiting to hea
Brian's busy life is always the same, studying, practicing, and working. Spending time doing many things doesn't make him feel bored, the man is enthusiastic about continuing. If no one reminded him to rest, Brian would drown in his busy life.Alessia is like a living alarm for Brian, the girl reminds Brian when it's time to rest, have lunch or dinner, and when he should go to bed early and wake up. Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now? I'll pick you up," said Brian."No need. "I've arrived," said Azil."Here?" Brian turned around and looked for his uncle."Yes
Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
