Don Gabriel Emerson lantern
Eps 61 - Suspicious
Gabriel looked at Firda's shady face that was currently sleeping, but the new clock showed at 8 pm and Firda had not eaten dinner.
Gabriel's phone vibrated, Gabriel picked up his phone on the table and he saw a message coming in. Gabriel opened the message that turned out to be from John, the message contained a request to drink coffee together because John is currently at the Gabriel Resort.
Before leaving, Gabriel enveloped Firda properly, then kissed her forehead gently and then she came out of the room.
In front of his room, there was Gio and two other bodyguards on guard.
"Gio, I want to see John. Take care of Firda, don't let anyone in" Gabriel said.
"Mr John?" gio asked in surprise and Gabriel simply replied with a murmur and then he left.
Gio seemed confused by the presence of John who arrived, he took his cellphone and sent a message to one of the Black Swan members who are still friends with Gio. Gio asks if John has an agenda, and his friend replies. Because after the attack and massacre on the ship, John ordered his men not to move and remain careful.
The message makes Gio even more confused, if the attack was only to reclaim John's property, then why should John be afraid?
Because as long as Gabriel is in power, Gabriel leads fairly, he also competes healthily with his opponents unless he is required to fight.
Gio again asked if the ship had been sent to Ukraine. And a more surprising answer Gio got back.
"The ship arrived in Ukraine a week ago"
"So whose ship did John take?" muttered Gio.
...... ...
"So you're here to take your wife on vacation?" john asked after he sipped his coffee.
"Yes, he was curious about me so I brought him here, to the office, to the hotel" Gabriel replied casually.
"Wouldn't that be dangerous to her life? Your marriage to Madame Angeline was kept a secret, but the enemy still knew it and he attacked her" said John.
"I know, I'm confused myself, I can't seem to refuse Firda's request. I was afraid that he would not believe me, so I wanted to be a little more open to him" Gabriel replied, he also sipped his coffee is still warm. While John who heard Gabriel's words chuckled
"Mr Gabriel, sometimes women are like that. But you should not let such feelings rule your heart, for in this world nothing is more painful than being lived by a beloved woman. I think you understand that because you've felt it"
"I know, but I also want to live a normal life, John. With my partner, have children, breathe together until our hair bleaches" Gabriel said.
"I have to go back to the room, I left Firda alone there" Gabriel said as he stood up.
"You seem worried about the young lady, Mr. Gabriel. Has anyone hurt her so far?" ask John who saw a different look on Gabriel's face.
"Yes, someone just happened to be deliberately trapping her. I don't know, as you say, I don't hide my relationship with Firda so there are a lot of possibilities." Gabriel said.
"Do you need additional bodyguards to keep the young lady?" john asks again "I can send my best man to look after your wife 24 hours"
"I'll call when I need her, John. I was really worried about him. I'm leaving first." Gabriel said again and John allowed Gabriel to leave.
Gabriel returns to his room, Gabriel sees Firda who has woken up from her sleep and is currently eating a bowl of noodle soup.
"What are you eating, Firda? Who brought him here?" ask Gabriel in panic.
"Gio, I asked Gio to get me some noodle soup. I want to eat noodle soup" replied Firda in the middle of his busy enjoying noodle soup that still puffing the smoke. Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you from?" Ask Firda then.
"Meet John" Gabriel replied, then he removed his jacket and shirt, leaving the trousers he was wearing.
"John?" ask Firda again, because Gabriel like him often met the man named John.
"I also want to." said Gabriel and he opened his mouth in front of Firda, Firda also fed her husband, then fed herself. And so on until the noodles are gone. After eating and brushing her teeth, Firda and Gabriel returned to the bed and Gabriel pulled Firda to sleep in his arms.
...... ...
The next day, before Gabriel takes Firda out of the Resort, Gabriel takes Firda to meet with John and introduces them to breakfast together.
Firda who saw John immediately remembered the middle-aged man, he was the man who was with Gabriel in his village first.
"We had met before." Firda told John, John only responded with a faint smile.
"Yes, he drove me to your village, Fir.." Gabriel and Firda nodded in understanding.
They ate at one of the restaurants there, and when close to John, Firda immediately inhaled the same perfume as the scent of the man he hit in the room.
