ASA IS FADING
CHAPTER 9. Responsibly

"You've been on holiday for a few days now, Ji. I thought you weren't going in again." Tukas Chika sees her best friend changing clothes in the dressing room. Jihan looked at Chika. The girl looked at him with a somewhat different look.

"Where are you going? Tumben's been on a long day off?"

Jihan smiled faintly while taking a slow breath. "I'm not feeling well anymore, Chika. Tired again."

"You sick?" Chika watched Jihan more closely. Jihan's face was a little pale. His eye bags look a little swollen. Not because of pain. Jihan is not feeling well but not because of illness but because of stress thinking about what happened between her and Sami. A cold man with a million charms. The figure that had made him crumpled in the arms of the married man.

Jihan smiled wryly. What is he expecting now? Wish the man had heard his words the other day to take responsibility? Wish Sami would save her from the troubles of life that are crimping her now?? So ridiculous. Jihan shouldn't be that easy to believe. He should not have believed. The proof is that he must now return to this damned work. Inevitably he returned again to the nightlife to serve the guests who looked at him lustfully. Full of passionate looks. Jihan took a deep breath. It seems like he has to realistically look at life. The proof is now that he stands here to move on. He must endure this harsh reality. His life is not easy. A loyal economic urge stalked him like he was still holding out to keep pushing him into the gulf.

"What am I really doing, Chika?" Jihan reassured her best friend once again. I hope the girl believes his words.

"Aren't you long?" Chika approaches Jihan who is still not finished changing clothes.

"It's still a while." Reply Jihan without passion.

Chika looked to sigh slowly while tidying up the lipstick on her lips that felt a little messy. "If so I go in first. I'm staying okay, right?"

"Yes there first."

"Oh yeah, Ji." Tukas Chika for a moment before stepping out of the door.

"I'm in VIP two. Which room are you in?"

"I'm in room one." Reply to Jihan after thinking for a few seconds. Chika then waved her hand before passing.

Jihan now looked back at her face in front of the mirror. His face looked a little pale. The slightly swollen eye bag then he polishes back with liquid concealer to make it look more normal. His slightly paled lips he rub a little moisturizer and lip tint to make his face fresher. After feeling more presentable and refreshed, Jihan then decided to enter into the VIP room one according to the shift schedule she got today. Jihan's getting ready to serve her karaoke guests tonight.

Jihan stepped foot into the VIP room. There was waiting for a part-time client who already seemed impatient to be accompanied. Jihan gave a sweet smile as a warm greeting to the guest. The man then asked Jihan to pour him a drink. Jihan complied quite casually. Then choose some songs that feel in accordance with the tastes of the client. After a while everything went normal without any interference but soon things became chaotic.

As Jihan was singing, a hand gripped her arm tightly. Then within seconds pulled her slender body out of the dimly lit room. Jihan who did not expect could only resignedly follow without being able to fight.

"Please." Tukas Jihan tried to escape from the man's clutches when they were away from the crowd.

"What are you doing in there, huh?" Sami's hoarse baritone voice sounded cold in Jihan's ears. It turned out that the man who had dragged her out suddenly while on duty was serving clients. Jihan took a deep breath trying to calm down her sudden heartbeat that was racing in shock. Why did Sami suddenly come looking for him here?? What does that man want from her again?

"What does it have to do with you? We have no business anymore, Sami. Why do you keep bothering me? Why are you messing with my job?" Said Jihan by trying to resist the annoyance. He really did not expect this cold man to come back looking for him. Sami's hand finally slipped. Leaving a slight numbness on the girl's arm. Jihan grimaced with pain. He rubbed his arms while looking at Sami with an annoyed look.

"I told you to quit this job. Why don't you understand too. Did you not hear what I said yesterday??Is it still unclear, Ji?" Sami asked with a sharp look at Jihan. The glint of emotion from the eagle's eyes made Jihan's guts faintly. He was bowed for a moment and then again challenged the man's gaze after the annoyance regained control of the heart.

"No business you said?? Forget everything??" Sami asked in an expressionless tone. He then gave a rude snort when he heard the sentence that the girl had just thrown. Is this girl out of her mind? It was so easy to tell him to forget everything that had happened. Everything they did a few days ago. After Sami fucked her. Take something precious from the girl.

"Yes mas. Is that still unclear?" Jihan replies back to what Sami told the girl before. Now everything feels even. Jihan challenged the sharp gaze of the eagle's eyes. He did not want to fall so easily to this man who was barely suitable for him. Jihan knows herself enough. Sami is too perfect. It couldn't feel like he had. Moreover, she is just a comfort girl who accidentally has been covered in a puddle of the night world.

"What if you're pregnant? What if my seed is in your body? Did you not think about that possibility? Why don't you think about getting there, huh?" Sami clasped Jihan's shoulder with both of his sturdy hands.

"Maybe not mas. We only do it once." Deny Jihan fast. He refused to accept the possibility. It was also impossible for her to get pregnant if she only did it once. It felt very impossible for Jihan.

"Are you sure you're not pregnant? Although the possibility is small but still the possibility for it exists. You could've gotten pregnant because my seed was embedded in your body." Sami tries to convince Jihan. He loosened the grip of his hand from the sweet girl's shoulder.

"It's impossible for me." Jihan is like muttering. For a moment he hesitated. The fear of reality began to take hold of him.

"What if you're pregnant with my son? What are you gonna do? Are you still going to reject me?" Sami asked with a serious look. He looked at Jihan's face which seemed to start turning pale.

"Imstrapped to you." Jihan continues to argue. He shakes in disbelief.

"Don't keep rejecting me, Jihan. Do you want to make me an irresponsible man? You want to make me a coward? That want you?" Sami started to ride.

"But I'm married. What about the family? Mas's wife?" Jihan finally threw the question. It was his consideration to continue rejecting Sami's presence. He knew that man was not single. Sami has a family. He has a son and a wife. What about them? Jihan couldn't possibly ignore that fact. It is impossible to close your eyes. It was a bitter reality that would be a stumbling block in his relationship with Sami. It won't be easy for him.

"I will still be responsible. You don't have to think about that. Let's look ahead to Jihan. If it turns out you're pregnant, you don't reject me anymore. You need to stay with me. You can't run away anymore." So firm Sami's words. His face looks very cold. There was no hospitality there at all. It seems like they don't want any more compromise. Jihan thermangu. His body felt weak without energy.

"You heard me, right?"

"Yes..."

"Don't argue anymore."

Jihan dilemma.

How does the complicated relationship between them continue???
