Milady steps into Sebastian's house.
A mother, apparently a housekeeper, seen from the uniform she was wearing, greeted her.
"Mother Milady? It's been waiting for Mr. Sebastian in the study,"
"Where's the room?"
"Straight, in front of the corridor turn left towards the park. The right door,"
"OK, thanks. No need to drive me well mom, please continue working,"
"Oh well ma'am, thank you." And he passed away leaving Milady.
*****
Sebastian was still glued in front of his computer screen with a frown. This time he wears black-rimmed glasses. Due to old age, his eyes can not be too long in front of the screen without glasses, or his head will be dizzy.
There are obstacles in the mining company in Russia, it looks like something is not right, according to a report from its intel. Gunawan, the person he assigned to oversee the project, later deactivated it due to personal problems. But all agreements are still in Gunawan's name.
Then according to his consultant, that precious stones from mines in Russia only have a rate of 75%. That means the quality is not as good as the beginning.
For a while, Sebastian will be quietly monitoring the next move. He still hopes all his employees show their loyalty as they first worked for him. He'll give Gunawan a little more time.
Milady walked into her room gracefully. The woman's eyes swept every corner of Sebastian's room.
The man watched Milady from above his glasses.
"Well," Milady looked around. He looks amazed. "It's different with your room in the office. This one's more..."
"What?" lick Sebastian.
"More 'living',"
"More messy, you mean?"
Milady grins.
But then hurriedly pouted again.
"I'm upset with you, again,"
"Hum..." Sebastian decided to re-focus on his computer screen that displayed the movement of the stock.
He knew Milady's reaction, so he decided not to take all the short messages from her.
He was lazy to hear the scolding.
"Not upset about Trevor's match, but because you decided to prank him" said the woman.
Sebastian looked at Milady again.
As usual, this woman always knew the purpose behind her movements.
Sebastian did not answer and decided to refocus on the computer screen.
"Sebastian," Call Milady, demand attention. "Don't pretend to be serious, the Stock Market is off on Sundays, that's the Friday report you analyzed,"
Sebastian chuckles.
"Like me dong" murmured Sebastian.
Milady clucked at hearing it.
Then the woman continued her 'activity', looking through Sebastian's study.
"Hm... Imaginary Interview with Bung Karno by Christiano Wibisono," Milady read one by one the book covers on Sebastian's shelf. The man watched Milady from above his glasses. "Under Soe Hok Gie's Red Lantern, Pramoedya Ananta Toer's Buru Island Tetralogy, Indonesia Under Lars Shoes. Wow, you have rare books. This is all that was once banned in Indonesia right?!"
"Where do you know, you're not even born yet,"
"My father once looked for one of them until he was in debt for a trip to America, finally he did not get it. Maybe he should look up to your bookshelf,"
"It looks like he's still going to choose to search for himself rather than to my bookshelf,"
Milady smiled cynically, "Why are people afraid of you,"
"Are you asking me or talking to me again?" ask Sebastian.
Milady chuckles.
Then the woman looked back.
"A room as good as this, the door is wide open, don't use the access code?"
"There was. I opened it just now, because you want to come in,"
"Hm" Milady saw the fingerprint scanner machine, the retina scanner of the eye and the number code.
"It seems that at home you spend most of your time here. It could be you who cleaned this room yourself, too" said the woman.
Sebastian didn't answer, now he's fiddling with his phone.
Trevor really didn't contact her.
This boy if it's annoying.
"What is the access code? 171703 again?" ask Milady.
"It's none of your business" sizzled Sebastian.
"Who knew you had fainted in the poisoning of an ancient book residue, or had heart disease locked away..."
"Shh! Wishing you a nice tuh, dong... I even wish I had a heart attack." - Sebastian.
"I'm sure there are a lot of people who pray for you like that." sighed Milady.
Sebastian took a breath.
He was no longer able to concentrate.
Not because Milady constantly invites her to chat, but because...
The woman's appearance...
Make the brightness rise.
Plain white t-shirts, tight jeans, flat shoes, hair tied up, and natural make up.
He showed his back neck...
Kids hair looks out of the loop.
Her hair was curly, not long but also not short.
And...
his hips...
"Sebastian?"
Sebastian was somewhat jolted to hear his name called.
Milady tilted her head at the end of the room looking at him with her signature prickly look.
Sebastian frowned, remembering the topic they were discussing just now.
Yes, it's about access codes.
"You think for yourself." said Sebastian.
"I thought...on its own...? Hm..?" uh...?" Milady frowning.
Sebastian sat down and opened his glasses.
And watch Milady's reaction.
A while later the woman came out, then closed the giant door of steel.
"Abastiaan, retinal and pleeaaasssee fingerprints...." Knock Milady from the outside.
Sebastian clucked while typing something on his keyboard, then retinal code and fingerprints opened.
A number access code was pushed from the outside.
And Milady pushed that steel door inside.
He looked at Sebastian with surprise.
"God!! Is that really the access code?! No other code?! Here there are 6 sets of number codes that mean it can be more than a million possibilities, why do you even choose that series?!" Milady.
His cheeks were red, he looked embarrassed.
"Because no one would have thought..." Fizz Sebastian.
Of course, people will try to enter the room by trying some access codes. The first one to try was Sebastian's date of birth, then the date of birth of the people closest to him, then the number of his house, but who would have thought that the access code was Milady's date of birth... someone who is really someone else.
"Kh..." Milady Decak. "We have to be really neat closing our secret meeting or your room can be broken into by a thief. Straight into his conglomerate, sell one thing from here..." Milady is a little bit of a bitch.
Sebastian grinning.
"There are two more people who know, but have been sworn to death."
"Ohya?"
Sebastian nodded, "I make the same as the access code in the office. The Arman and the janitor know."
"So those who enter this sacred cave are only a few people..."
"My family's free to go in and out, there's a Trevor streak on the wall when he learns to draw if you notice..." Sebastian pointed at one of the walls with his chin.
Milady looked back and noticed the crayon strokes of the little boy. There's a picture of Superman but with a name. "Superdad, SebasMan!"
The woman chuckled.
"You're the first one to enter..."
"The first person to enter..." Birthday Milady. He stroked the crayon Trevor stroke. "In a moment, maybe 'our children' are doodling these walls."
Duag!!
Humped Sebastian reflexes banging under the table.
Milady glanced at him with a Sly smile.
Sebastian leaned over while complaining, trying not to look Milady.
Damnit damnit!
What does 'our children' mean'...
Absolutely provocative!!
The sound of Milady's nagging in Sebastian's ears was annoying.
"A week ago someone said they don't want to see me again... Now I'm talking about the kid."
"I didn't say I didn't want to see you again. I said, that was the last time I wanted to eat with you. Oh, yeah, my cut is healed?"
"Bakalan implied for life." Groused Sebastian
"Just complain..." Milady Decak.
"Who?" Reply Sebastian.
"I just nyakar on the arm... Not yet on the back... Or on the shoulder..."
A sly smile re-adorned Milady's face.
"It's not free, yeah..." Sebastian raised the scar on his arm that was still flushed red, not yet completely dry.
"I've been vaccinated..." Then the woman raised her hand to form a cat's scratch. "Miaws..." And meowing.
"Or... You have diabetes?" His face immediately turned worried. If Sebastian did have the disease, it was certain that the injury from him would be very dangerous.
"Fortunately, no." Said Sebastian.
Milady breathed a sigh of relief.
Sebastian stood up and sat leaning on the edge of the table, in front of Milady.
"Here, you..." Hisses.
Milady was approaching.
"Yes, Big Master..." Milady.
"Look... Big Madam..." Reply Sebastian. He crossed his two shields in the chest. "What do you mean send underwear to me? Do you want a laundry or what?"
Sebastian frowning.
"It is now my turn to ask well, Ndoro..." Milady.
"What does Kanjeng Gusti mean trying to match up the Young Master to another Young Miss? Is Ndoro not pleased with me? Or the... I want to be your queen?"
"Hm..." Sebastian Mumbled.
"Can?"
Milady.
More precisely, they were silent for a moment.
My tongue speaks for itself! Sebastian in my heart. I don't know why he didn't feel sorry to say it.
Is he playing me again? The insolent... Okay, I'll just follow the game! Thought Milady.
Milady approached until their thighs touched.
"You don't need my permission to approach." Milady.
Milady's hand touched Sebastian's thigh, then stroked him slowly.
The man just looked at her.
"Well, but baby... Because Trevor's already starting to melt into me."
And Milady showed a new diamond ring in her fingers that was usually plain without jewelry. Trevor bought her an engagement ring last week.
Sebastian's face changed.
From soft, now to furious.
Then looked at Milady sharply.
"Take it off." His order.
"This ring? Why?!"
"Let go... Or I'll let go." Snarled.
Milady.
"Just try to let go." Challenge Milady.
"Don't start..." Furious Sebastian while catching Milady's hand, then pulled the woman to come closer.
"I'll let go if you give me in exchange..." Moustache Milady.
"OK..."
Milady's eyes were wide.
"Huh? Okay?"
Sebastian smiled faintly and opened a drawer nearby.
Then surrender...
Black jewelry box. Size but bigger.
Milady looked at the man vigilantly.
"You reckless... If I change, what will I say to Trevor?!" Milady.
"Let's go. You can say that it's gone, or you want to save it first." whatever."
"You're serious...?!"
"Wear that from me, or don't wear anything." the man growled once more.
Milady strangled.
Yes Forgive... It turns out that Sebastian is actually easy to sulk and childish.
Plus Bossy and his arrogance make Milady want to scratch it once more!
Inner Milady.
He's being jealous.
I'd rather obey than have the problem spread everywhere.
Thought the woman.
But then again, his mischievous thoughts came out.
"Hm... I'm wearing it from you on one condition."
"What else?"
"I'm asking for a kiss."
"okay."
Milady stunned.
Wait for... Thought Milady
Like something's wrong...
"I want to kiss her on the lips, you know!" Milady stressed his desire.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Sebastian.
Loh...?
How quick is the response?!
Wait for...
Don't be lured, Milady. There must be other subtle wits...!
He's a sneaky guy!
Sizzle Milady to herself.
Well, but he's in love with this silver-haired cunning fox.
I don't know how many tails there are, maybe more than nine... The fox demon, maybe.
"Don't quibble again well you, this time I'm serious.s...." And Milady gaped as the box opened.
Oh my God, it's so pretty...!!
A pair of sapphire rings and bracelets!
Not too big, and impressed simple, but very in accordance with the wishes of Milady, compared to Trevor's color is only white and monotonous, this one as if made for himself specifically.
"The ring is a pair with me." hiss Sebastian showed the ring on his ring finger, bearing the symbol of the Bataragunadi family, with a sapphire.
"Trevor and dad are also wearing" he added. "And again, sapphires are commonly used everywhere so I guess if you wear it won't be flashy."
Sebastian grabbed the ring from his box and inserted it into Milady's right middle finger.
"Pass..." Hiss the man.
"I never said the size of my middle finger."
"One look I already know your size."
"You experience as well? As used to give gifts of jewelry to women..." Telisik Milady's.
"Not really, it can be reckoned with in actual probability...."
Milady grunts. Feeling upset but salute and happy.
Jumble...
Then Sebastian took the sapphire bracelet from his box and draped it on Milady's wrist.
Even the size can fit...
Shit, Sebastian...! Milady.
The longer left, the more cool the man looks...
And the more Milady drifts away with her romantic atmosphere...
The man escapes the ring from Trevor and inserts it into the jewelry box. Then put it all into the desk drawer.
He held Milady's hand and lifted her up...
Then kiss the back of the woman's hand.
"If only.." sizzled. "If you could really be mine... I'll stop looking and take a break from my current job, spend my old age with you..."
Milady looked at the man with...
I don't know how to describe it.
Sebastian feels older, more somber...
What happened to him...
"Maybe to the mountains, or our two favorite places, where there are only us, no one disturbed." the man looked at Milady with a laugh.
"It's just you and me... Maybe little Milady. Some junior Milady..."
Milady gasps.
Rather than happy, he felt sad.
"Sebastian.." isak Milady. It felt like his throat was dry and his eyes were hot...
"You... Don't know how much I love you... From the beginning... And when you disappear, you immediately change all your contacts... My world is instantly blurry." Sebastian looked down at Milady's fingers in his grasp.
"And when we meet again, I even have to give you up for the one who..." Sebastian took a deep breath.
"It's tired." he added.
"If you belonged to someone else, you would have taken it by force. I kidnapped her and I exiled her to the end of the world... But this one..."
Trevor is Sebastian's world.
His true love as a father...
And he was very worried because he thought Trevor was entangled in the love of a poisonous snake.
"Sebastian... If any... Another woman besides me, whom Trevor can approach, in order to forget Ayumi...?"
"I'll get you." Sebastian replied quickly. "But I haven't found anyone else yet..."
If this is the case, Milady will have to ask Ayumi for confirmation. How he really feels about Trevor.
Who are the men in the detective's photo... Who often in and out of Ayumi's apartment...
And is it true that Ayumi has a hidden grudge of her parents' death to Sebastian...
Milady stroked Sebastian's jaw.
"This time you're being selfish... For yourself... for our sake...?" hissing Milady.
"I can't." Sebastian. "If anything happens to the child... I'll be sorry. How is my responsibility to God?"
"So... You prefer to sacrifice your feelings. Sacrificing me..."
"I'm sorry.." sizzled Sebastian.
The man looked straight into Milady's eyes. The regret he felt, the sadness he felt, the heartbreak that plagued him, all seemed real from his gaze.
Milady felt sick...
Pain in the chest...
Stuffy...
And Sebastian pulled her into his arms.
"I'm sorry... I'm..."
The man whispered between Milady's neck.
"Just until your wedding... May I have you...?"
