The next day, the,
When the sun was almost overhead, with the scorching heat ready to burn the skin, Rose had just finished with a series of exercises.
Just as she opened the room door, her phone on the dresser rang and shook. His lighted screen revealed an incoming call. Victor contacted.
“What's up, Brother?” greet Rose while sitting in front of the dresser. Occasionally he wiped the sweat on his forehead and around his neck with a small towel draped over his shoulder.
…
“What?! Don't joke, Brother!” While staring at the mirror on the dresser, Rose smiled pias at the reflection of herself. Unsure of what he just heard.
…
“They came too? Oh, my gosh! This is unbelievable!” He also nodded his head which suddenly felt dizzy. And still sweating.
…
“What business did they come here for?” Stifled Rose his body back, while wiping the sweat on his forehead, with his little towel. He also began to wonder.
…
His brows furrowed and shriveled even more when he heard Victor's lengthy explanation. The woman listened carefully. I don't know why his instincts feel a bad feeling.
…
“What?” As if exclaiming wasn't enough, Rose shouted at the person on the other end of the line. He even stood up, so surprised and unable to believe what he heard.
“Eric?” rosa muttered while widening her eyes.
…
“But, Kak-“ He flopped again into the round chair that became the pair of dressers. His face turned lethargic.
…
“Whatever they want to do! But I don't want to meet them. Point!” With a single puff of rough breath, Rose decided.
…
Rose's expression was getting ugly. Victor's words made his face water look upset. He doesn't like, doesn't want to. The reluctance was obvious, when he was about to protest back.
…
“Alright, then! I'll tell Ben first. I'll call you again!” break it with a pouting and unreserved face.
...
“Yes, Shrewd! Brother knows, Sister is even more chatty than Bella! Huh!” sergeant Rose was upset. He then hung up the phone. Then throw the phone on the bed.
“Hish..!” Dumped Rose her breath quickly and violently. His head feels like it's breaking now!
All those bitter memories, the past he didn't want to remember, why did they have to come to the new life he was building?!
Rose wiped her sweat again. Not only sweat, but currently restless and restless as if he was flushing the body, making it uncomfortable.
Ben's!
Yeah, Ben! He must immediately communicate this with his lover. Rose felt the need to ask Ben for his opinion. Because his lover was a big role in the healing of his psychic, who had been sick due to trauma.
Does he have to obey his brother's request or not?! Because what he will do later, as well as the people he will meet, are all related to that. The bitter memories he had thrown away.
Rose immediately got up and walked towards the secret door. But when he got to the door, he abandoned his intentions. Soon, Rose lowered her head. His sense of smell is craving something.
“I'd better take a shower! I don't smell so good!” Then Rose smiled very widely, like a horse.
He also turned around. Walk towards the bathroom. And postponed his intention to meet his lover.
Time, he found Ben smelly like this?! Shame, right!
***
Rose was quite surprised, as she entered Ben's room through a secret door. Actually not only the woman, but the person who was there was just as shocked.
Apparently, Ben is currently having a serious conversation with Baz and also Relly. The sheets of the files were scattered on the table. Similar to their faces.
Maybe, for Ben and Relly, they weren't too surprised. Because they are used to it. Unlike the case with Baz who just found out, if there is a mystery door in the corner of the room he currently occupies.
“Sorry! Then I'll come back later!” Rose grimaced, feeling unwell for interrupting the serious time of all of them.
The knob of the door he was still holding was pulled back by him. That secret door will be closed again.
“Wait a minute!” call Ben to stop his girlfriend. “Join!” take Ben then, with the chin raised.
“Do I not bother you?” Rose opened the door again while making sure. After all, he could still convey this later. After they are all done with their discussion.
“It's okay, Rose!” Relly nodded, agreeing with Baz.
Miss Rose had never bothered even once, if they were in serious conversation. Sometimes, the woman gives them ideas.
“Come!” pinta Ben gently. His hands were stretched out, asking to be welcomed.
“Have, then!” rose murmured while closing the secret door. The woman hoped that she would not interfere later.
As they share the distance, Rose receives Ben's hand. He sat himself by his lover's side. Baz occasionally stole a glance at him.
“I'm curious..” Baz voice open. Everyone turned their attention to him.
“That door is already there, or did you deliberately make it, knowing Rose would stay here?” Actually, Baz was just a fad about asking this question. He simply did not expect that, that strange person could have an idea like this.
“That door has been around for a long time. I also know if the door is connected to the next room,” explained Relly representing his boss.
That assistant, or even some of the White Tiger officials already knew the secret door, like Zayn or Anggie. However, before Miss Rose came, the door and the room next door were never used.
The room that Rose now occupied, was actually Ben's room anyway. But the cowboy hat man prefers to rest in his room only. After all, there is also a small room behind the workspace that is quite spacious.
Ben often falls asleep on the couch. With his haphazard style, typical of men.
“Oh! I think-“
“What?” Ben immediately replied, even though Baz had not finished speaking. “You think I deliberately made that door, so that I could stalk my own lover, do you?”
“Fright!” Baz instantly agreed while flicking a finger. He smiled impudently, without embarrassment.
“You!” Ben immediately showed off his fangs, ready to prey on Baz right now.
“Already, Ben! What you said is true, right?! You like to suddenly come into my room through that door,” Rose's wounds. He wants to mediate the problem. But he did not realize if it even made his lover more cornered.
“Ha... ha... ha...!”
Relly and Baz were auto-stupefied by Rose's plain revelation just now. So honest, that even Ben couldn't resist.
Yeah, that's the truth, right? Rose muttered inwardly as she spread both of her shoulders.
Ben's face darkened. He's cornered now. Somehow, after Baz's presence there, he became a laughingstock for everyone. Heh! Ben was upset himself.
“So... is there anything you want to see me?” ask Ben to Rose. Instead, he immediately distracted all of them. That guy's a bitch, too, so the clown's always being laughed at.
“Oh, the.. “ Rose looks doubtful. He pinched his lips for a moment.
“My father is coming, and is now at Brother's house.”
“Ya already, we just meet!” ben is easy.
“His problem, he came along with my mother and stepbrother. Also... Eric!” Rose immediately dropped her head. He's looking down deep.
Then, Ben embraced it to give strength. He knew it was hard for Rose to decide.
“You what are they all coming here?!” Rhetorical questions spring from Ben's cynical sneering lips.
Baz also raised his eyes. He knows enough, the sad story of Rose long ago. Eric was quite curious about the name. Who her?
Not only them, but Relly also raised a dislike gaze. The man also knows enough about the story of his own troubled nona past.
“I will leave all my decisions to you. But it's good, if you come. Either way your father came all the way here. No matter how big of a mistake he was, he was still your parent, Rose!” ben said he was trying to stay wise.
“I...”
Seriate…
