Badboy and The Beast
BBTB #19

Diandra exhales many times when stepping into the house. With a tired face, Diandra passed Gavin sitting on the sofa.

"Dian."

Diandra stopped her footsteps and turned around to approach Gavin.

"Why ?"

"Where's Lo ?"

"Meet Mochi"

As Gavin's face changed, Gavin slightly gasped at the name.

"Mochi ?" reset Gavin.

Diandra nodded.

"False deh, Mochi became Sister-in-law," said Diandra.

"You mean ?"

Diandra looked at Gavin." Mochi wants to get married."

"Have ? who's the same ?" ask Gavin curiously.

"James Gio."

"Gio ?" repeat Gavin again.

"Yes. Gio Atmajaya, my classmate Mochi."

Gavin. Diandra felt sorry and happy because Mochi finally got a man who was very sincere about himself. But, seeing Gavin helpless like this, Diandra became heartless.

"Lo love Mochi ?"

Gavin got up from his seat without answering Diandra's question. Gavin took the car keys on the desk.

Diandra just wiped his face. Diandra can only pray that whatever decision is best for Mochi, Diandra will support her.

Gavin knew his purpose this time. Gavin just wanted to apologize in person. Gavin did not want to disturb Mochi's happiness anymore.

A few minutes later, Gavin arrived at Mochi's house. Mochi's house this time was different. The house is minimalist style, with a garden and many beautiful flowers in front of it. Gavin smiled wryly as a luxury car parked neatly beside the house.

Gavin stepped out of his car. Gavin knocked on Mochi's door.

"Assalammualaikum" said Gavin.

"Waalaikum-salam," Mochi replied in surprise.

Gavin and Mochi looked at each other. Gavin looked at Mochi from top to bottom. Her hick girl had already turned into a modern girl. Mochi wore a black blazer on a white tank top and a matching knee-length sponge skirt.

"Who's coming baby ?"

Gio caught up with Mochi who was not coming back from the front opening the door.

"Gavin ?"

"Yes. I'm sorry I came here just asking Mochi for a minute. I need to talk, can I ?"

Gio looked at Mochi who was staring at him with a teary look.

"30 minutes. I think it's enough."

"Thank you Gio."

"Let's go Mochi, we'll talk outside" Gavin awkwardly asked.

Mochi followed Gavin's footsteps, looking at Gio. Gio turned his gaze. Mochi followed Gavin, got into the car.

Gavin's car leaves Mochi's yard.

"Lho, Son Gio ? Mochi where's it ?" rita asked who saw Gio at the door.

"Mochi goes with Gavin Mother."

"Gavin ? why did you let Gavin take Mochi Gio ? if anything happens to Mochi how ?"

Rita was worried. Rita is very angry with Gavin who intends no good on his only puppet princess.

Rita turned her head, frowning her eyebrows confused at Gio's ambiguous words.

The awkward atmosphere that Mochi and Gavin felt, was the same as when they did not know each other. The atmosphere in the car changed. No songs, no topics of conversation. Gavin and Mochi were both silent. Mochi who turned his gaze outside the glass window noticed the green shady trees in his pass.

"Lo happy, Mo with Gio ?"

Mochi turned to hear Gavin's question.

"happy."

Gavin just nodded. Gavin takes Mochi to a lake with vast green grass. Gavin got out of his car that Mochi was following.

"Lo is now beautiful, it's fitting that Gio falls in love with you," said Gavin looking at the lake with a straight look.

"Gio isn't you a jerk."

Gavin smiled and nodded.

"For that, I just want to apologize for all my mistakes and attend your wedding."

Mochi looked at Gavin who remained straight staring at the expanse of the lake. Mochi's tears escaped wetting both of her cheeks.

"I've forgiven you."

Gavin turned his head and approached Mochi with tears continuing to flow.

Gavin wiped away Mochi's tears that kept dripping.

"Lo don't cry. What is it you tangisin ? you can't cry anymore. Now, you've got Gio always there for you."

Gavin stared right at Mochi's bead of eyes. Mochi also looked at Gavin. Mochi, who could not bear it, hugged Gavin and spilled all the pain and longing. Mochi's shoulders trembled with her sobs that slashed Gavin's heart.

Gavin hugged Mochi tightly.

Gavin unraveled his embrace as Mochi's cry subsided slightly.

"A-i-a-aku—"

"Stop. Don't say anything anymore. I understand. I can feel your feelings.But, I don't deserve the same lo Mochi. Lo well, whereas I—"

Mochi placed her index finger on Gavin's lips.

"I love you. From a long time ago, my feelings never changed" Mochi said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, it's hurt you too deeply. Perhaps, letting go of lo with Gio is the best option."

Gavin closed his eyes neutralizing his grief. Gavin took a step closer to Mochi. Gavin kissed Mochi's forehead by covering both eyes with tears that without Gavin knowing flowed by itself. Gavin wiped away her tears quickly, before Mochi realized her. Mochi opened her closed eyes when Gavin finished tucking her forehead.

"You love me ?"

"No. I've never had the same feeling about a hick. Lo don't ge-er, I just kissed you because I still remember the romantic moment of the movie I watched."

Mochi just smiled faintly.

"Yaudah, I'm relieved now. All the problems are over, and I can live quietly without your shadow," Mochi turned around with a relieved smile and stepped her feet.

Mochi was speechless when a pair of hands coiled around her abdomen from behind.

"Ga-Gavin."

Gavin whispered in Mochi's ear, "just shut up and listen. Gavin Angkasa has fallen into the charm of a hick."

Mochi smiled widely. Mochi turned around releasing Gavin's hand.

"Eat him don't be proud ! should you ?" Mochi taunts Gavin.

"Oh, so you know me ?"

Mochi scowled wide. Mochi runs before getting Gavin's rampage.

"MOCHI ...!"

Someone who saw them from a distance just smiled bitterly.
