(Not) My Crown Ruler

The night before the hour had shown at nine o'clock in the evening.

At the dining table of that luxury apartment.

"Oh yeah? Honey, if anything says same to me!" louis said as he scooped up the cereal drink in front of him.

"Yes. It's nothing, really. Just started to go where. Budhe said, missing from HPL is normal,” said the beautiful woman via video connection.

"I forgot that today you should be born. So busy. Sorry, honey," said Louis.

"Not what. Not born yet either. Maybe he knew that his dad was busy. That's why he chose to play first in the stomach," said Anisa.

Louis smiled as he sipped the cereal in the spoon he was holding.

"Today I plan to meet you. We haven't seen each other in a year. Very happy, I swear!" said Louis.

Anisa chuckles across there.

"Laugh at me!" said Louis.

"Lebay very prospective father," said Anisa.

Louis smiled at the pregnant woman's laughter.

"Oh, yeah. Betrand how's he doing?" ask Anisa.

"He's not awake yet" Louis said. "But I called Steve. I told you Betrand was here. Let them calm down" Louis said.

"Grandfather?" ask Anisa.

Louis took a long breath. "I haven't seen Grandpa, but a........."

Pyaasarrr....

Louis surprised. He stopped his speech. The sound of a broken object was heard from the guest room, where Betrand was.

"What's wrong?" ask Anisa.

"There's a broken voice!" said Louis. "Darling, I broke down the video. I'm gonna check into the room first,"

Anisa nodded. "It's okay, it's okay" the woman replied.

Louis smiled. Immediately he turned off his video call connection with the lover, then got up and rushed to the guest room. The place where the man he had found this morning was lying in a shabby building.

Yes, Louis who since morning took care of his cousin. He took her to the apartment, cleaned her body and changed her clothes. Poor thing, his cousin is really fucked up right now.

Chequek...

The guest room door opened. Louis rolled his eyes in all directions. Betrand wasn't in bed. The handsome man then approached the open bathroom door. Then...

"Astaghfirullah haladzim" said Louis slowly. He saw there the glass of the sink was broken. Water flowed from the tap, making a pool of red water mixed with blood in the sink.

Yes, the mirror was smashed after being punched by the frustrated man with all his might. The drops of blood from the handbook and the glass splinters were flowing, dripping, mixed with water pooled in the bathtub.

Betrand seemed to be clenching his hands. Stare sharply at the shattered glass, which casts a shadow of himself and Louis behind him, though it is not so clear because of the crack.

Betrand further sharpened his gaze.

"This is all because of your twin! Anj*nk!" betrand said with tightened teeth.

Louis took a long breath. "Yes, I know he's wrong. But the affair happened between two people. Not one person. Infidelity will not happen if there is no will from both sides. It's not fair that when an affair occurs, only one person is judged!" louis was calm but on target.

Betrand did not answer. He was still silent with sharp eyes staring straight ahead.

"Gue understands your feelings. If you want to feed your emotions, go ahead. This room is free for you. Want you to fuck up, please. If only just renovating the apartment, my money is still enough. Whatever. I am free here. Just don't kill yourself and kill someone."

"If you need anything, you can tell me,” said Anisa's lover was calm. The man then passed away leaving Betrand there while closing the bathroom door. He then rushed back to his dining table, enjoyed his cereal again and contacted his girlfriend again.

Not that it does not matter, but not someone who is disappointed it sometimes also takes time to be alone. He is already disappointed with man, it feels to add to the burden of his mind and heart with lectures and advice is not the right thing for now. Maybe later, when Betrand was already feeling better. Right now, let the man enjoy his disappointment and heartbreak. The important thing is that he does not hurt himself or anyone else. Let her heartache be enough she felt. There is no need to vent it on others who will end up only hurting the person themselves. Louis was ready to facilitate Betrand's deification. He was ready to give a place for the man to vent all his emotions until he felt better.

Meanwhile, a few hours later. When the clock strikes at eleven p.m., it's in a narrow alley not far from the city's elite housing complex. A matic motorbike driven by a young woman appeared to stop beside a noisy exhaust motor owned by a young man there.

The woman with the black jacket and the matching colored helmet appeared to turn off the engine of her vehicle. While the young man who now appears to be in contact with a long-spirited man appears to smile.

Yes, it was the Eagle and one of his companions named Didit. The two men are in a quiet meeting with a former Didit school friend who is known to work as one of the servants at the home of the country's conglomerate, the Davis Family.

"Nobody's been following you, right?" didit asked the friend who was known as Aya.

"Nothing, anyway. But I swear, I'm scared, Dit!" said Aya.

'Lo calm down. I'm back tomorrow morning!" said Didit.

"Gue was nervous from earlier, Dit. Afraid of being caught!" said Aya.

"Don't you say yourself that he hasn't been home in days? And you're also the one who said that homeowners rarely see CCTV footage if nothing matters?" ask Didit.

"Yes, but it's just, I'm afraid," said Aya.

The eagle who had been silently piggybacking on Didit while enjoying his cigarette seemed to throw the butts of the nicotine object it came from.

"If you come with us. Not for two hours, though. Abis that I will turn the laptop back to lo," said Eagle.

Aya seemed to think.

"Yes, you go with me. If we're done, you can bring back your employer's laptop!" said Didit.

Aya still seems to think. Then...

"okay, deh. I follow. But not for long, yeah!" said Aya.

"Yes, just calm down. Later, the money I promised you I'd love you!" said Didit.

Aya nodded.

"Yes, follow me!" said Didit who then turned on his motorbike and passed away from the place followed by Aya behind him.
