His Purpose
94. Punishments

"Honey ..."

Gabriel smiled gently touching the pair of arms that had just wrapped around his neck. He looked back and found the moist face of Valencia who seemed to have run out swimming.

"Where? Have you met Gibran Wiranata?"

Gabriel nodded.

"Certainly? Was he really meeting my family back in New York?"

Gabriel seemed to think. "I'm sure not. He just met Mom and ... Grandpa."

He did not know what to call the two men. They never even considered him a family let alone intersect.

Valencia slightly pursed his lips while thinking. "What's the point of going there?"

"Is he tired of being watched by David Willis?"

"Honey, isn't he a little stupid? Why did he have to go to New York when Willis had not found his whereabouts with certainty?"

"You're wrong. My brother went there because Willis already knew he was in Indonesia. Looks like Rayan Adibrata is the reason."

"Your former future-in-law? Why her?"

"They must have been after the Maria family as a fishing line. Listen to Rayan Adibrata recently cooperated with a foreign company."

"Then?" Valencia still doesn't understand.

Gabriel looked up, his long fingers faithfully rubbing the lover's arm. "I found out that the company was still part of Willis on behalf of someone else. Rayan Adibrata doesn't know."

Valencia opened his mouth in disbelief. "They're crazy ..."

"Mary ..." Suddenly Valencia became sad.

He remembered their meeting in Thailand. It was the first time he had greeted Maria in person, having previously known only from the few media that happened to tell about her.

He's good, that's the first impression Valencia get. Honestly, there's a little bit of guilt lingering in the chest. What would happen if the woman knew everything? What ...

Cup.

"What are you thinking?" gabriel whispered to ask. He just kissed Valencia's chin.

Valencia was a little aghast before he smiled, moving into Gabriel's lap. His hands were around the man's neck. "What ... do you still love him?"

Gabriel frowning.

"Marya," Valencia continued.

For a moment things became quiet. Gabriel and Valencia just looked at each other.

"My offer still stands. If you want to go back to him I can help you."

"What did you say?"

It could be seen Gabriel's look turning hard. "Do you still think of me as a toy? By the time you've fully succeeded in having me, you want to throw me away, right?"

"Valen, I know maybe you think I'm a weak man. Even to this day I have not been able to fulfill my promise to marry you. But please give me a chance. If I can't ask you nicely, then I'll take you on the run with me, with our son. Please be patient."

Damnit. He followed the words of ridicule from his brother.

It's not like that. You don't understand, what I'm worried about is you. They could hurt you if we were together.

Valencia smiled closer to the face, landing a lip on Gabriel's lips that immediately greeted him full of longing. These days they are separated because Gabriel is busy running his company in Indonesia, as well as meeting Gibran who he says lives in a remote place, the reason why they are difficult to communicate.

"Don't make me feel guilty for taking you from Maria." whispered Valencia in front of Gabriel's face. Their breath was puffed up after a kiss.

Gabriel clenched his arms around Valencia's waist, pulling him closer and closer before grabbing back the lips greedily.

"I decided to betray him, not you" he said between kisses.

Unbeknownst to Gabriel, Valencia's eyes shone blankly against the ceiling above him. He only resigned when the man took him to the bed, stripped the towel and bikini that had been attached to his body.

Nope. I teased you .. at Gibran's request.

"Squat down!"

"Stand up!"

"Squat down!"

"Stand up!"

Laura grimaced at one of the servants that Maria was being punished for. Nearly thirty minutes into the sentence, there was no sign of Mary stopping him.

Maria snorted, "That's my goal. It's too easy to break it straight away. Who told him to flirt with my husband."

Laura bit her lips. Indeed, the waiter was wrong. He was also surprised to see the courage of the girl who tried to seduce his master. Laura clearly saw the girl accidentally dropping herself into Gibran's lap while in the dining room. He tripped his leg.

What the ...

Jesus, Laura even almost took out a curse that Maria used to say.

Gibran came to the backyard shortly. He glanced at the servant whom Mary was in the midst of the law before drawing near to his wife.

The waiter threw a pleading gaze that Gibran clearly ignored.

"Sugar," he called out to the top of the woman's head.

"What!" sewot Maria brushed Gibran's hand off his two shoulders.

Gibran chuckled slightly, "You look like a sulking Moru."

"I mean Koko I look like a tiger, do you?!"

"Hm." Gibran.

"Less aj—"

"The beautiful tiger that is said to be a myth in this forest."

Maria gnashing. "Is there such a myth?"

Gibran nodded back. "You curious? Come on, I'll tell you. It's time for you to take a nap."

Mary's eyes narrowed. "don't want. Koko must have persuaded me to help her." He pointed at the servant in front of him with a cynical look.

"What are you doing! Quickly continue! Squat down! Stand up!"

"Laura!"

"Yes, Madam!"

"Whip again his legs!"

"Okay, Madam!"

Gibran sighed at the behavior of his wife. Secretly he laughed amusedly which even made Nick look at him in horror.

Suddenly he could not distinguish which bucin where psychopath. For some reason, Nick actually felt a bad feeling for the waiter.

Sure enough, Nick's unrest was evident during the night when Gibran secretly asked some of the bodyguards to drag the girl to the south lane. He knew where they were taking him. If not thrown into the forest, drowned in the lake, it is likely that the servant will be put into Moru's cage.

"Nick, you don't have to feed him tomorrow" Gibran said with a big smile, turning around to leave Nick swallowing a lump of saliva.

Nick ran after Gibran. He was aghast when he met a snake that suddenly emerged from the bush.

Dor's!

"Until when are you gonna stand there?"

Kontan Nick was flirted with equating his steps with the master. "Tu-Mr. Why did you do it?"

"What?"

"The waiter."

"Oh. Blame him for upsetting my wife. His heart rate's rising. His blood pressure also rose because of it. It's very dangerous for our baby."

Gibran called a doctor without Maria's knowledge. The woman was secretly examined while asleep.

"But .. are you not afraid if the Madam finds out?"

Gibran looked at Nick. "He won't know. Unless someone tells him."

"What's wrong? Why are you so scared?" gibran continued with a thin grin.

"You miss Moru? I can get you in there if you want."

Nick screamed, "Tidaakkk ...!!! I could have sworn to keep this secret from Madam! Forgive me, Sir!"

Gibran smiled coldly. "good. You know I won't hesitate to shoot you in the head even if you've been with me for decades."

Nick nodded like a frightened dog. Gibran did not know, he was more afraid of being dumped instead of being shot dead. His loyalty is no joke. For him Gibran is a hero who comes when he is down.

I will be loyal to you.
