Lying Above Love
She Already Knows

Hanggara seemed surprised by this question posed by Austin, he seemed silent for a moment because he did not expect that Austin would ask this question and in the end, Hanggara asked Austin why his nephew asked him that question. Austin says that he just wants to know if Hanggara already has a girlfriend or not and Hanggara tells his niece that he does not yet have a girlfriend.

“Really? So is there someone who attracts the attention of Om?”

“Yes, there is someone who attracts the attention of Om, why?”

“Who is he?”

“Why do you seem to want to know about it?”

“Oh, it's nothing just that I'm curious because it seems like Om has never talked about it.”

Hanggara smiled and then told Austin that there was something he needed to talk about and something he didn't need to talk about so he asked Austin not to ask any more.

Austin himself only silently responded to what Hanggara said but from the body gestures of Hanggara, he said, Austin himself can conclude that it seems like Hanggara himself is uncomfortable with the question he just asked and it seems slowly his suspicions are indeed true.

“But it is too early if I conclude they do have a special relationship.”

After meeting with Hanggara now Austin returned home and thinking about what had happened just now, Austin was still trying to find a way to uncover the secret between his mother and Hanggara.

“It is very difficult to unpack this.”

Until finally Austin picked up Chelsea at his school and on the way home Austin also told what he had done earlier with Hanggara, who was, Chelsea itself seemed surprised when she found out her brother was talking about sensitive things with his om.

“Why does Big Brother do that?”

“What's really why? I wonder what his reaction was like when I asked him that and om Hanggara's reaction really made me believe something was wrong.”

Hanggara called Belinda and told her what Austin had done to her during her lunch break, Belinda herself seemed surprised and could not believe that Austin began to dare to openly ask about it to Hanggara. Belinda thanked Hanggara for telling him about this, Hanggara himself seemed dissatisfied because he still had to cover this relationship from his children.

“I'm sure if we're honest with the kids they'll take it.”

“Don't we ever discuss this before, Hanggara?”

“Alright, I know.”

After that short talk, Hanggara hung up his phone and Belinda seemed to still be thinking about what Hanggara said to her just now. Belinda became unsettled and it seemed that Belinda was

starting to worry that soon his relationship with Hanggara will be revealed by his children and the fear is that children will not accept their relationship.

“No, I must not think badly first, I am sure that the children will definitely accept my relationship with Hanggara just this is a suggestion.”

Belinda took a deep breath to calm her troubled mind, she had to work and focus at the moment but in fact she was unable to fully focus because she thought of the worst possibilities in her future life.

“No, I can't keep this up.”

Belinda shook her head and then got up from her chair while walking back and forth in her study, she was really worried that these were early signs of her secret relationship with Hanggara

will uncover.

Sutikno seemed surprised by someone who wanted to meet him tonight and when he found out the person who wanted to meet him was Austin of course Sutikno was so happy, he asked Austin what brought his son to his house.

“I came here because I want to tell Papa that tomorrow I will work in the company mama.”

“Really? Is that all you want to tell Papa?”

Austin seemed silent for a moment and he seemed to be thinking about something before he finally ventured to say it to his father.

“What do you want to know, Son?”

“Does Papa know about the relationship between mama and om Hanggara? I honestly do not believe in the words of Chelsea at that time it's just that. somehow my mind says that they have a relationship.”.

“Indeed Chelsea told you what?”

So Austin also told Sutikno what Chelsea talked to him at that time, Sutikno was silent and listened to what Austin told him until he finally knew that his two children were apparently already

knew that Hanggara and Belinda were playing with fire all this time behind her.

“Is everything Chelsea says true, Pa?”

“Why did you ask Papa? Papa wasn't there when Hanggara and your mama went alone in the room.”

Belinda came home and she tried to be normal so as not to invite suspicion from Austin and Chelsea, her two children also seemed ordinary and did not ask anything strange

to him. Belinda and her two children had dinner together until finally after the dinner together, Belinda asked Austin something.

“Austin, Mama wants to talk to you for a minute.”

“What's up, Ma?”

“We can talk in the workspace only?”

Austin then followed what Belinda had told him just now, they both went into the study and there he saw Austin curious about what Belinda was going to talk to him about.

“So what should Mama talk to me about?”

Belinda let out a long sigh, and asked Austin what he had done this afternoon.

“What is Mama mean?”

“So afternoon you met with om Hanggara right?’

“Yes, that's right. What's the problem?”

“And you asked him something strange, right?”

“Not really, why did Mama ask that?”

“Please do not interfere too much in personal matters om Hanggara, you know if he has privacy?”

****

Belinda let out a sigh as she arrived in her room, and she really didn't think she had just talked to Austin about what Hanggara had told her. Belinda was actually worried that Austin would be more curious about his relationship with Hanggara but anyway Belinda did not want Austin to make Hanggara uncomfortable with the question asked by his son. As Belinda was about to get into the bathroom, her phone rang and when she saw the name on the screen she saw Sutikno's name there.

“You what else did he call me?”

Belinda seemed to answer the phone from Sutikno in a bad tone, Belinda asked what Sutikno meant to call her at this time.

“It looks like you're not okay, huh?”

“I don't have time to talk nonsense with you.”

“I just wanted to tell you that Austin already knows your relationship with Hanggara.”

“What did you say?”
