The sound of the Joana Apartment bell was heard, Joana who was sipping green tea on the balcony of the room inevitably had to move to open the door.
There was a look of Doni waiting impatiently while tapping his feet on the floor.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Ask Joana wonder.
"Jo, is it true that yesterday Xander visited you at the practice?" Doni let out a long sigh, a look of worry emanating clearly on his face.
"Come in.." Joana said to Doni who was still breathing.
Doni came in and sat on the living room couch, his eyes sharp towards Joana, he was looking forward to the answer his cousin would give.
"C'mon Jo. Answer!" His words were impatient.
"He didn't come to visit me." Joana answered listlessly. "He came to treat me." Further.
"Huh? He is crazy and cannot be cured. How could he want treatment at your place! Shhiiit!" Doni rubbed his own face rough while Joana looked down deeply.
"You move out of this apartment. Back to our Mansion!" Doni.
"No, Don. I was comfortable in this apartment and it was also very close to my practice. I can't."
"You know Xander's dangerous to you, right? You forget, as long as you're still in this country you're the responsibility of my parents including me?"
"i know's.. But I can take care of myself. Trust me, Don."
Doni sneered, he threw his gaze in the other direction.
"Keep yourself by being the samsak of his fist like he used to be?" Sarcas Doni's.
"Don's.."
"If your Daddy finds out that the man is free and seeks you here. You'll be forced to return to London." Silenced Doni, he stood up from his seat and stepped towards the exit. "If that happens, I can't prevent it and I'll let Uncle Nathan take you home." Doni.
"Don, I still want to continue my career here. You know that this is my dream and I've spent almost half of my savings to build that practice place and the equipment inside." Joana said.
Doni stopped his steps without turning towards Joana. "I know, that's why I don't want Xander to ruin all your dreams."
Joana sighed. "Hmmm, alright I'll move to your Mansion but give me a few days to get all my gear fixed."
"No! Do it quickly without taking days."
"But today I have a practice schedule, as well as tomorrow. I-i-"
"Snooze your practice and speed up your move!"
"But Don, I can't possibly cancel an appointment with all my patients."
"Do it for your own good!"
"Don..!!"
"There's no excuse, Jo! Sooner or later Uncle Nathan will know."
Joana just nodded, she could no longer refute Doni's words. Xander's sudden arrival really unsettles everything including Doni's extended family which also includes his family. Doni must have known all this from Sinta, his wife. However, Sinta certainly does not want to hide the dangerous things that will happen to Joana from Doni.
Joana returned to her room after Doni's departure. He began packing one by one his clothes and important items into a medium-sized suitcase. Actually Joana's equipment is also not too much, he has not even three years in Indonesia and soon he also has to extend the residence permit, he also has to extend the residence permit, because the psychiatrist practice that he just opened is going well and his patients have also started to surge.
Time continues to move and Joana practice schedule opens at 10:00 WIB. After packing up and getting Joana ready to get out of her apartment while pulling a suitcase, she will return to live in the family Mansion after returning home from today's practice.
Joana drags her steps slowly along the hallways of the Apartment that looks silent at certain hours. Maybe because this is a work day and many apartment residents have left their homes.
Joana walked towards the elevator located on the left wing of the building, her steps were regular and left a sound of a bang from the heels she was wearing because it collided with the marble floor of the apartment building.
When Joana's hand was about to touch the elevator button that was only a short distance away, the tiny hand was held and pulled simultaneously from the side. Making Joana choked and her eyes perfectly rounded staring at the tall figure that was now in front of her.
"Hallo my sweetheart..." Say the figure with a sly grin.
Joana brushed away at once hearing that voice that was none other than Xander's. He wanted to scream with all his might but Xander's agile movements and immediately smother him made Joana unable to dodge and had to submit in Xander's arms that silenced his mouth.
Xander drags Joana the other way. Joana realized that at this time no one could help her. He thrashed but his strength was inferior to Xander who held him from behind while silencing his mouth.
"Calm down, Honey!" Xander's whisper was right in Joana's ear. Joana relaxed her body for a moment. He realized, the rebellion of his body will only make him run out of energy and will not be able to make him win from Xander.
Xander opened the door after pressing the password with the number method. Joana heard a glimpse of the door closing then after the two entered into an apartment room with an aesthetic dark feel.
Xander released his embrace as well as the grip of his hand that had previously silenced Joana's mouth.
"What do you want?" Joana's first question after successfully escaping from the grip of Xander's body. Joana gave a rude snort while staring angrily at Xander but the young man giggled amusedly at Joana's anger.
"Don't bother me. We're done." Say Joana again. He was even more annoyed to see Xander laughing at him.
"Honey, can we talk without emotion? Someone in a profession like yours should be very good at self-control." Xander said calmly. The young man sat on the sofa and raised one leg to rest on the other. Her eagle eyes stared intensely at Joana with a deep gaze.
Joana regulates the breath and neutralizes her nervousness and fear. The woman was already too tired to face Xander from her teens. But Xander seemed never tired of chasing him, like he had no other victims besides Joana.
"Why do you keep chasing me, huh?" Joana crossed her chest and turned her face away. He must face Xander inevitably.
Xander grinned, seeing Joana's anger was his happiness especially if Joana was crying, bleeding, while venting resentment, it was the best sight for him.
"Honey's.."
"Stop calling me 'Honey', my name is Joana."
"All right.." Xander said, the grin did not disappear from his face. "Somewhat was on your mind when I saw my arrival but I miss you so much." Xander continued to look at Joana, again the gaze looked at Joana very intense and deep, Joana saw the longing was memamg in Xander's eyes. Xander doesn't lie and Joana can feel it.
"I-i don't. You'd better go back to London!" Joana answered nervously.
"Sit down." Xander patted the sofa beside him, hinting that Joana was sitting there.
"If you came here to take revenge for what happened a few years ago, then-"
"Jo, I've never had a grudge against you." Cut Xander.
"really? People like you are the most capable of cultivating grudges." Joana Struggles.
"I wanted to meet you but not for revenge."
"Then?"
Xander massaged his paplipis, then he looked at Joana with a sharp gaze making Joana feel bad things will soon happen to him right now. A bad premonition instantly strikes Joana as their eyes meet and are locked on each other. Joana frowned in wonder while her heart wondered what else Xander would do after about seven years there was no meaningful meeting between the two.
...Seriate......
