Badboy and The Beast
BBTB #33

Gavin grimaced while treating bruises on his cheeks and temples. Gio and Gavin had a fistfight while at Mochi's house. Gavin relented because he did not want to see Mochi cry anymore.

"Gavin, how come I'm like this?" zura asked while treating Gavin's wounds.

Diandra, Zura was still silent when she found Gavin coming home with a bruised face. When they asked Gavin, Gavin was silent.

"Gavin's okay, Ma," he replied weakly.

"Son, who are you fighting? Gio?" guess Diandra.

"Ma, Gavin was confused, what to do now? Mochi's in Gio's threat. If Gavin helps, the result is not Mochi alone, but, his family, our family," Gavin softly looked at Zura.

"Gavin, do what your heart says right now. Don't be selfish, just because you have a happy desire to be with Mochi" Zura advised.

Gavin fell silent, Zura and Diandra looked at Gavin.

~Flashback~

"Jn ...."

Gio stepped closer to Gavin, Mochi as well as Haris and Rita.

"A happy family, isn't it?" syndir Gio.

"Son, Gio, please sit down. Same father Bunda—"

Gio raised his hand up cutting Haris speech.

"Gio wanted to tell you something. The day after tomorrow, Gio will marry Mochi."

Gavin stared at Gio sharply.

"What do you mean, Gio! Mochi hasn't agreed to your request!" gavin sarcasm.

"Lo doesn't know yet? Mochi agreed," said Gio looking at Mochi.

Mochi swallowed his saliva looking at Gio's unfriendly gaze.

"When do I agree, Gio?" mochi asked timidly.

Gio smiled as he approached Mochi.

"Have you forgotten the presence in your womb?" Gio whispered softly in Mochi's ear.

"But, Gio, I'm my— ...."

"Remember, Mochi. All decisions are in your hands. If, you don't want your loved ones to suffer," whispered Gio grinning.

Gavin who saw the look on Mochi's face changed like fear approached Gio. Gavin pulls Gio out.

Bugh! One blow Gavin slapped on Gio's jaw. Gio just laughed disdainfully.

"Huh, Space Gavin, cih! You think, what's so great? You just wait for news, the company lo collapses!" gio Ancam.

Gavin who did not accept increasingly emotional. Gio repulsed Gavin. Gavin and Gio get hit. Haris tried to break them up.

"Gavin, Gio, stop!"

Gavin breaks away with Gio. They are equally bruised on the face. Gio wiped the blood on the corner of his lips.

"Gavin ...." Mochi called Gavin softly with tears dripping down, in Rita's arms.

Gavin clenched his hands tightly.

"Gavin, Gio, you better go home. Residents will be disturbed by your quarrel" Haris said.

"Listen Gavin, I'm not kidding. Again, you go so far, I make sure, your family will suffer," he said.

Haris took a breath. Haris is convinced that Gio is not the right person for Mochi.

"Gavin, are you okay?" tanya Haris approached Gavin.

"Son, Dad. Gavin asks, I'll take care of Mochi. All decisions are in Mochi. Don't force Mochi to do something she doesn't want."

Haris patted Gavin's shoulder.

"Without your asking, I'll always look after Mochi Gavin."

"Thank you, Dad," Gavin smiled faintly.

Gavin stepped closer to Mochi.

"Can Gavin talk to Mochi, Mommy?"

Rita nodded. Haris follows Rita into the house.

Mochi hugging Gavin suddenly spilled all her cries. Gavin returned Mochi's embrace.

"Ga-Gavin, what should Mochi do? Mochi did not want to, something happened with Gavin," Mochi explained.

"Hey, who said? I'm fine, Mochi. You don't have to think about me. Now, you think health is also the fetus in your womb," said Gavin rubbed Mochi's cheek.

"But .. I don't want to marry Gio," Mochi replied lowered her head.

Gavin held Mochi's chin facing him.

"Mochi, follow what your heart says. I love you, but don't make our selfishness fatal to our loved ones" Gavin advises.

Mochi fell silent. Gavin was right, he should not be like this.

"Gavin, you should know, I love you so much" Mochi said.

Gavin frowned at Mochi's ambiguous words.

"You should never think negatively Mochi. I hope you're always okay" Gavin said.

Mochi simply replied to Gavin with a bitter smile. Mochi hugged Gavin again.

God, is this my last hug with Gavin? Mochi was crying inwardly.

Gio hit the steering wheel strongly. Gio's teeth were struggling with emotions. Gio drove his car above average speed.

"Gavin *******! Look at Gavin, you're going to suffer" said Gio.

Gio drove his car home. Gio parked his car carelessly. Gio stepped out of the car.

"Gio, you're new—"

Mama Gio hears Gio's car, opens the door.

"Where is Ma?" tanya Gio stepped into the house sitting on the sofa.

"Papa's in the office, what's up Gio?" ask Naura—Mama Gio.

"Gio wants, Gio's marriage is accelerated with Mochi, the day after," the pinta Gio looked at Naura.

"Why all of a sudden, Gio?"

"Gio wants to have Mochi soon, and, Mama, Papa will soon have grandchildren."

Naura frowned at Gio's words.

"Just calm down, Son. Papa has taken care of everything" said the Eagle who came suddenly.

"Papa? Why didn't this talk about Mama?" sela Naura protest.

"Ma, Papa doesn't want anyone to interfere with Papa's plan. Papa doesn't want, one person to hurt Papa's grandson."

"Good-grandson? What do you mean, Papa's grandson?"

"Mochi is pregnant with Gio's child" she said.

"What's? Gio, you're kidding me, right? It's impossible, you're kidding."

Naura shook her head in disbelief.

"Ma, this is true. That one-night mistake became like this" Gio continued.

"Gio! My mom never taught you to behave like that! You can't force Mochi to marry you. You know that, right? Mochi must be tormented, if you force her, son," recalls Naura.

"Ma, Gio's actions are right, wanting to take responsibility. What wrong? Gio wants to marry Mochi," Gio replied.

"Ma, just calm down. Everything's gonna be fine. Nothing will happen to Mochi" the Eagle continued.

Naura's feelings were not calm. Given, Mochi only considered Gio as an older brother, nothing more. As a mother, Naura could only hope, what she thought would not happen.

"Mama is afraid, Mochi feels depressed if you speed up this marriage. As a woman, Mama understood Mochi's feelings, Gio," Naura said looking at Gio who was sitting leaning against the sofa.

"Ma, there's no other way. Mama know? If Gio did not act immediately, Mochi would fall into the hands of others!"

"Gio, if Mochi is indeed destined for you, Mochi will be with you. If you force that which is not destined for you, Mochi will go" Naura explained.

"Naura! You don't have to interfere. Enough, you prepare whatever is needed the day after tomorrow for Gio's wedding. You don't want to, see our son happy? I think it's in return for what we've done so far to the Mochi family" said Elang.

Naura fell silent. Naura prayed in her heart, if later, Mochi and her family were fine.
