Pinnacle POV
The weight of the heart actually leaves the father and mother. If only Arya, my only sister did not live with Father and Mother, I might not return to Jakarta. I'm not sure Arya will stay long but this time it may be long. According to mother's confession last night, Arya is heartbroken and wants to forget her lover. May a handsome man who is five years older than me be able to move on immediately. I don't even know how old Damar is. Argh ... Why do I even remember that stubborn man? Whatever age is none of my business.
My wild daydream was immediately cut off by the sound of Dave Koz's All I see is you song. One of my favorite singers. I pulled the smart phone I had tucked in the small bag that hung beside me.
Again the name Damar appeared on the screen. Of the many contacts I've gathered so far, Damar is the one who calls the most. What else would a big-nosed man want?
"You're in Jakarta?" ask Damar once the connection is connected. I didn't even get to say 'hello' first. This guy really pisses me off. Do I have to make a report of where I am at all times?
"Yes, my plane just landed." I pulled the red suitcase containing my shirt away from the item claim place.
"I'll pick you up" he said again in a stern tone. I am tired of his every intention. Can't he just leave me alone? He had no other job more important than calling and asking about my whereabouts.
"No need!" I refused firmly. If I interact with her often, my heart is weak and easily falls in love with the attention offered free of charge. I don't want to! I want a clear relationship. I'm not young either, I don't need a boyfriend but a husband, a future husband.
I don't want to be the main character directed by a handsome man who is loved by many people. I want a serious relationship with anyone with good intentions.
"I'm on my way, wait there!" his orders are not to be disputed. I nodded slowly to Damar who could not see him.
The man who managed to make my chest shake did not know the inner struggle I was going through.
I have to say a good word to end this. I must be willing to miss a chance close to that moneyed man. Just look at the car, the jeep that I hit a while ago is definitely not a cheap jeep that is usually used to transport wooden beams.
A red, metallic BMW sounded its horn several times before stopping in front of me. Fancy car that only contains two seats makes me feel. Oh God, I want to buy it too.
I diverted the field from this blinding sports car. Looking for a jeep car owned by Damar who is familiar to me.
The red car in front of me again honked before getting out of the car. The man who had been teasing me for a few days got off that red car. He wore a black suit except for a silver tie that hung neatly around his neck.
"Come in!" He walked around his car and stopped right in front of me. Not opening the door like it usually happens in romantic movies but he took my mini suitcase and put it in the backseat. Run around the car and then look at me.
I obey without saying. One of my dreams of riding a luxury car is granted, even if only nebeng. At least it has materialized because it is impossible to buy it considering my salary is only enough to cover the needs of life for a month. I had to have a career earning hundreds of millions per month to buy all my dreams and even though in reality money is not everything, but everything needs money.
I observed the interior of the car dominated by the brown color. Luxury cars are different.
Damar who had been sitting the henchman behind his steering wheel glanced at me.
"Belt!" he said briefly before driving his car. This soft-spoken car drove at a slow speed leaving Soekarno-Hatta airport.
A quiet atmosphere accompanied our journey. This beautiful man was too focused on his wheel and did not heed my existence which managed to make my heart flinch. I don't know what's in his mind?
I remember saying he was going to pick me up at the airport. So this is what it's like to have a handsome driver who secretly pisses me off. Upset that he had been quieting me for a while.
"This is not the direction to the apartment ...," I said realizing the road I used to walk was different. I glanced at him, waiting for an answer.
"We'll have lunch first." He answered without looking. His eagle eyes focused on the black asphalt road in front of him.
"No need, I'll bring stock." I refused that invitation. The lunch mum packed from home was still intact in the box in my black backpack.
"There's something we need to talk about!" This time Damar glanced at me with a serious face.
"There's nothing we should talk about!" I said just as seriously. What kind of talk does he offer.
"Beep!" I shriek. Her tone of voice made me freeze. Not because his voice was high but that low tone was full of threats. His facial lines tighten.
I froze. The atmosphere was quiet again until we arrived at a restaurant. The restaurant is not familiar to me. Several cars filled the restaurant's courtyard. A common sight considering the lunch hour has just begun.
I followed Damar's steps down from the car. This handsome man stopped and looked at me with his black eyes.
We ordered food without sound. Damar said nothing but to eat the dishes voraciously. It looks like he's hungry. I smiled seeing him.
My phone rang and Leon's name appeared on the screen. Damar was watching me closely. After touching the green button I heard Leon's heavy voice.
"I'll see you after this, yes, sorry, I'm guilty of you. Yeah, sorry," I said before hanging up.
"Who?"
"Leon"
"Daughter?"
"It's none of your business!"
"Then, where have you been these three days?" ask her with a cynical tone.
"You deliberately disappeared to avoid me?" Inquiringly. Damar straightened his body that was upright. His eyes watched like a hungry eagle.
'If he knew, why did he still ask.' I can only hide.
"Who's avoiding you?" elakku. Even though it is in fact.
"So, what exactly did you do the last three days?"
Damn, apparently Damar won't stop until I answer all his questions.
"Personal issues." I don't like to explain personal problems to strangers, especially when it comes to the man now sitting opposite me.
"So, you are so happy ...," he urged. He stopped scooping the rice and made me look sharp.
"Enough! I can't do all this. These lies, your lies," I said angrily. My shrill voice made several pairs of eyes turn to our table.
"Just keep your voice down."
"I don't care, I don't want to get involved with you. I have paid off my promise. That damn car, how much does it cost to repair? I paid for it all but you have to promise not to bother me again."
"Just be quiet, we can talk!"
"No! it's not going to be okay what starts with a lie. You should know that, a lie will only give birth to a new lie and so on. I can't do it. She's your mother, she'll want the best for you. Why not try it first, I mean you can meet and acquaintance first, if there is no interest you can refuse it. You wouldn't be asked to marry her right away, would you?"
"Finish your lunch, then I'll drive you."
"No need!" I said in a sniffle tone. He returned to reward me with his cruel gaze. I exhaled softly and said, "Tell you," I said then turned my attention to the dish in front of me. My appetite is gone but I can't let this food end up in the trash. I'll scold you if you know.
The mood became quiet. Damar feels very far away. I don't understand what's really going on. Said he wanted to get away from his life but this heart thrashed wanting to be close. My heart throbbed as these two eyes clashed in the air a split second before he threw his face away. What's wrong with my heart? What do I really want?
Why don't I just try?
'Try what?' Damnit damnit! Another voice in my head spoke.
I shook my head slowly to deny the foreign feeling that seeped in slowly. Any feelings I have for her are not important. I must prepare my heart to love whoever my future husband will be. Not give it to Damar who is not clear direction.
