Friends Who Destroy
BC 03

Have you had dinner?" Ask Alexa from the living room.

Faruq who had not reached the room stopped his steps.

"I told you, never cook for me..... Just save your energy for something more useful" replied Faruq ketus, then he immediately went into the room and cleaned himself.

In the living room Alexa could only cry, she did not expect that Faruq who she knew as a man with full of tenderness, could change drastically when she was with him.

Alexa feels very fond of Faruq when she sees how soft and romantic he treats Ghea, she thinks that Faruq is the man Alexa has been looking for all this time.

Alexa's heart always hurts every look at Faruq and Ghea's happiness. He thought that if Ghea had gained a lot of happiness, a man as perfect as Faruq should be Alexa's. Alexa is trying to get Faruq.

Especially when he heard that Ghea had to continue school in Jakarta in order to continue his father's company. The envy in Alexa's heart grew.

Alex is increasingly intensively making plans so that the two can separate and Faruq can become the property of Alexa completely.

Now the plan has been successful, but in fact the happiness that he really craved it never got Alexa. He could never win Faruq's heart from Ghea, even though he had made up a story to deceive the two.

"Why the Ghe..... You've always been luckier than me" said Alexa alone.

With a little annoyed Alexa tidied up the dining table that had been painstakingly prepared for Faruq. But the effort never got a good appreciation from her husband.

Alexa has often received similar treatment, but she is still reluctant to give up just like that.

In the room Faruq opened his laptop, while drying his still wet hair. He opened an email to check the incoming message. But the woman he was waiting for never gave him any more news after his last message saying he was getting married. That was over half a year ago.

"AARRRGGGHHH"

Faruq's chuckles were irritated. He knew that Ghea had ignored him, but the love in his heart still lingered there.

He tried hard to forget Ghea but his efforts could not bear fruit. He misses the woman he should have hated.

Faruq had also tried to accept fate and tried to make peace with the circumstances. But when he tried to accept Alexa, at the same time his hatred for the woman even more.

He even often stayed at the office because he felt lazy to meet with Alexa when he returned home.

......................

"What.....???"

Papa Ghea was very surprised when he heard the explanation from his daughter.

Ghea immediately bit her lower lip, she knew that her papa would not be easy to ask for permission for her leave.

"Kalo indeed Ghea wants to rest first, give him a few days reward.... Pity her" replied a woman who looked very beautiful in her fashionable clothes.

Ghea looked at her stepmother coldly. He knew if his mother meant to give that permission because there was something else that he might plan.

Mr. Morgan looked at Ghea with a questionable gaze. This is very unusual, he knows that his son is very disciplined and very competent about company matters. So it's very suspicious if he takes a sudden leave of absence for reasons that sound illogical.

Ghea grinned and smiled broadly to reassure her father.

"I'm just taking a few weeks' leave..... I miss my hometown" Ghea tried to negotiate with her parents.

Mr. Morgan only sighed harshly, then continued his morning breakfast. He thought it was useless to argue with his son this one. Mr. Morgan understood very well that Ghea had a strong position to stay with his wishes.

Ghea smiled with satisfaction, despite not saying anything, she knew if her papa agreed to her request by force or could be said to give up on negotiating.

"Waaah..... You have the talent of conquering your opponents with just a smile....." Praise Daren Ghea's sister with a chuckle.

"Daren..... You help papa keep an eye on the company while your brother takes time off" Mr. Morgan said as he put a piece of bread in his mouth.

Instantly Daren grumbled.

"Why should I? I have my own busyness pa.." replied Daren as she flicked her lips towards Ghea.

Ghea just looked down while chuckling.

"Let Daren focus on his studies, there is still Roy. Compared to Daren, it looks like Roy will be much better to replace Ghea for a while" Cristine said.

Everyone at the dinner table was silent. They all knew Roy was better, but seeing Cristine's facial features and gurgles made them think that Cristine had planned something to take the company from the Morgan family. Of course they should be vigilant.

"Didn't Roy already study in the appropriate department to lead the company, and also he has started participating in several jobs in the company. At least he has more knowledge than Daren"

The woman said at length without lifting her gaze in the least. He only focused on saying while cutting the sanwich in front of him with a knife and fork.

Mr. Morgan could only swallow to reduce his nervousness. He was worried about who he was, his wishes or his wife's wishes. Instantly the atmosphere at the dining table became quiet and awkward.

TIINGGS

Ghea put the fork and knife on the plate.

"I'm done. I'm leaving now" Ghea said as he stood up from the chair.

He grabbed a brown jaz on the back of the chair where he was sitting.

"Wait..... I want to come with you" said Daren following his younger sister who had walked first.

Miss Cristine smiled as she looked at her husband who was still silent and did not finish her meal.

"How's it?" Ask Cristine soft bu.

"I'll think about it" replied Mr. Morgan briefly as he passed from the dinner table.

"Ooh come..... Look at your father Roy!! She always put her children first, she doesn't even think of us as her family members" Cristine complained as she looked at Mr. Morgan's back, which then disappeared behind the wall. There was clearly a look of disappointment drawn there.

"Stop that ma'am.....!!!! Don't do anything that will get us in trouble" Roy warned.

"Then what should we do? This is our chance, should we waste an opportunity like this?" replied, Cristine was upset.

"I've devised a better plan" said Roy later, smiling slylyly.

" Really??"

Cristine's smile instantly expanded instantly. His eyes sparkled, he felt very excited because his son understood the situation and was on his side.

Roy nodded then downed a glass of warm milk in front of him.

......................

The night is very late, but Alexa's eyes are still awake. I don't know why he had such a hard time sleeping that night.

He thought about his marriage that felt bland. Alexa feels hurt by Faruq's treatment that seems to not care about him.

With a slight annoyance he approached Faruq who was indeed sleeping separately with him. He opened the door slowly.
