CEO'S OFFICIAL MATE
CHAPTER 41; Nostalgia

“You really are like the drama figures I used to see!” muttered Luna involuntarily which made the table laugh spontaneously.

“You too often see the drama..” replied San Hyuk politely, “all that are there are just fictitious,” He threw his best smile that makes Jagad more alert.

Jagad can not deny that San Hyuk is a charming man. In addition to his height which far exceeds him, San Hyuk also has a beautiful face. Wealth and high office are perfect for women to be attached to him. This also made Jagad wonder how could such a figure fall for Aleya beyond all the flaws that the woman had.

Not only that which disturbs the heart of Jagad. Aleya's arrival today surprised him greatly. Unlike when he visited her in the apartment, the Aleya he saw today was very different from the picture he got from the first time he met. The woman really looks exudes charm like a successful and independent career woman. The dress that was perfectly attached to her body did not imply that she was a mother with one child.

“Kakak...I mean sister..ehm...really, I am confused how to call you Miss Aleya...” not only to San Hyuk. Luna was also fascinated by Aleya's figure. To Luna, Aleya was also like a figure that emerged from within the drama. He is not even like the Indonesians if he does not look at it carefully. When compared to San Hyuk, Aleya's skin color is slightly darker. But when compared to him, Aleya's skin looked even paler. Luna wondered what beauty products made her look so young.

“Quite call me Aleya, Brother Luna..” Aleya smiled politely at her future sister-in-law. That thin curvature made Lena blush in shame.

“Kak Jagad never told me about you, so I never knew that brother had a sister..” Luna obviously wanted to make the atmosphere between the two melt. He could not continue to face Aleya who continued to show her cold attitude and tended to speak very little.

“That's natural because I've been abroad for too long. You didn't see his look? It was like he wanted to kill me. Hehehe..” says Aleya teases Luna.

“Jaga speaks to you Aleya.” Chrisma did not like the tone of Aleya who seemed to quip the Jagad. He didn't want even the slightest fire on the dining table.

Maybe in Luna's eyes everyone looked warm and threw smiles at each other. He did not see the alert signal that everyone was putting up. He innocently invited Aleya and San Hyuk to speak.

“You don't understand that I miss you? You can be arrogant and forget where you came from, heh!” although Jagad packed his sentences in a joking tone, it did not necessarily make Chrisma and Thomas confused. Even Thomas had not yet opened his mouth after he heard the words of Jagad before Aleya came.

Thomas's body was there, but it was different from his mind that floated somewhere. The secret he had been hiding now seemed to be at the tip of the son's tongue. How did the universe know its secret?

Thomas' jaw hardened, there was another fact that made his heart burn with emotion. If indeed Jagad realizes that Aleya is still a half-brother to him, did he intentionally damage the girl?

“DIAM!” unknowingly Thomas hit the dining table and made the whole pair of eyes look at him question mark. Except for the corn of course.

“Papa..” Chrisma did not expect her husband to be that angry in front of everyone.

“Not good bedebat on the dining table. Finish your meal, only then do we chat comfortably!” realizing the mistake he made, Thomas deliberately quibbled and made the dinner feel so cold even though the dishes served were very special. Luna even tried to refrain from commenting on every dinner served. He's afraid. This was the first time he had seen his future father-in-law angry.

***

“Where is your son?” as soon as the dinner was over and the atmosphere became more relaxed, Jagad immediately sat down next to Aleya who was sitting on her own at the bar counter.

“What do you drink?” aleya asked ignoring Jagad's question. He didn't want to look intimidated by that person.

“I didn't expect you to keep that bastard.”.

“Wow..woww..you are now really not like the Aleya I know..” The jagad went down the hair on Aleya's cheek before gripping the woman's chin with her index finger and thumb.

“You think I won't change after you do that to me?” Aleya grabbed onto Jagad's wrist and removed him from her face.

“I do what?” Jagad raises his eyebrows while pretending to be innocent.

“It turns out you're not growing up and just holding on to that past to keep running my back, cih!” Aleya clucked and pretended to belittle Jagad.

“I just did it to show you my love for your little sister.” The jagad now grabbed Aleya by the shoulder and patted her softly.

“Sayang?”

“What dear is not enough? Then love?” jagad's eyes grew more and more twinkling as he saw the ripples of change on Aleya's cold face. Does that mean he managed to break into his defense.

“Bullshit love!” Aleya. Although this was out of his habit, he was eager to do so. The jagad is more cunning than he thinks in terms of playing on his feelings.

“Do not underestimate my love for you, dear!” Jagad tightened his grip on Aleya's shoulder, “finally I can love you again from now on..”.

“Are you crazy?”

“What's wrong with me showing my love as a brother to his sister?”

“Jagad...” Unexpectedly Robin was already between the two brothers. He caught Jagad's hand to stop pressing Aleya. After the dinner, the guards and secretaries were allowed in and enjoyed the dinner.

“Halo Robin, do you miss him so much?” The jagad will not let go of his hand from Aleya. He could see the face of his best friend who was now like a dazed person. Unlike his battle earlier this morning which seemed to want to meet right then and there, Robin now did not even dare to look Aleya in the face even though they were already this close.

“How was your dinner Brother Robin?” Aleya tilted her head in order to see Robin's face. The man continued to give his back to Aleya. He didn't even answer the question.

“Sit!” this time Jagad's speech pitched an order rather than an offer.

“No, I'll go..” replied Robin still ignoring Aleya.

“What are you doing? Why rush?” The jagad pulled Robin's arm and held her back with all his might, “I just told you to sit here. Doesn't this feel like Robin's nostalgia? The difference between you and my sister is not on the same bed.”.

“You!”
