Male Charm Storage
Calm down

At first I wanted to go to a place of entertainment that might entertain me as the name implies. However, I took myself to Pierchic, a place I thought would calm me down.

The atmosphere given by this place is indeed soothing because it is located on the Arabian Sea pier. But once I set foot there, then I realized that this place should be visited by lovers. Contrary to my situation just left by the woman who is currently difficult for me to mention her name because I feel so disappointed with her.

I forgot, if Pierchic is one of the most romantic places for a date night. But, everything is done. So I decided to spend some time sitting in the corner.

I don't know why I'd rather order a few cans of soft drink than spend the night in bottles of booze.

From my place, I can see many couples spending time together here.

I stared at the nanar towards one of the matching pairs. In my eyes, they seemed to be making fun of my situation which might seem very sad. Alright, I will enjoy this night consciously while spending carbonated drinks that are not at all healthy.

I asked the waiter for help to give me the medicine box, I cleaned the wound in my hand whose blood had dried. Then wrap it with gauze.

I again lamented the woman's departure, she - who I don't want to say her name - should be here. I should have brought him with me so he wouldn't leave me like this.

The snare of love she gave me, made me unable to just let go. But why did he leave so easily?

In fact, he still used the facilities I gave him to buy his plane tickets. Why is he using all of that wrong? Why did he misinterpret my kindness to her? The freedom I gave her did not mean that she was free as she pleased to leave me like this.

He, he should have come with me. Wherever I go. I regret leaving him if I end up having to endure this deep disappointment from his sudden decision.

Twelvepm local time, I decided to return to the apartment. But on the way I almost hit someone, making me want to not get out of the car.

"I'm sorry, I'm not so focused. You okay, Miss?" I tried to ask the situation of the woman I almost hit, she seemed to curl up in fear in the middle of the road. It's my fault, I'm too fast in driving because it's still dominated by anger and disappointment.

Slowly, the woman complained to look at me. We were both surprised by each other.

"Celine..."

"Ng, Owen.." his voice sounded vibrating.

Celine was the only girl friend closest to me when we both attended Senior High School.

"What are you doing here?" I was quite surprised to find a figure I knew in a foreign country.

Celine looked set on a strange face, her expression was illegible. I took the initiative to take him to my car because it is impossible to linger in the middle of the road.

"Celine, are you okay?"

Celine nodded slowly.

"You live in this country? Tell me your address, let me take you home," I said as I installed the seatbelt.

Celine was still silent, I waited for her answer while setting the car's GPS to go to the address the woman was going to give.

"I have no place to live here" Celine replied at last.

I was surprised and looked at him in wonder. "Seriously? Are you on vacation here? All right, tell me where you're staying."

Celine shook her head weakly. "I actually ran away from my husband."

"What??"

"He beat me up, Owen. Please help me get out of this country."

I shook my head slowly. Moments of thought I finally drove the car and took Celine to my apartment.

I brought Celine not because there was a certain intent, but I saw her like Gloria, had a problem with her husband and wanted to get out of a country that was foreign to her. The difference is, towards Celine I feel pity but to Gloria I was indeed interested from the beginning.

"Come down" I said as soon as I arrived at the basement of the apartment I was living in.

"Where are you taking me, Owen?"

"This is where I stayed while I was in town. I'll order a different unit for you until your problem is solved."

"Owen, that's too much, you're gonna spend a lot of money on me. Just get me a hotel."

Celine nodded slowly. Actually the friendship between us had stretched because Celine who had expressed her taste to me, first. At that time I did not think to establish a thing called 'love', I was too busy taking care of business relics inherited by my late father. Both legal and illegal business. Not to mention the grudges of parents who would not want me to have to avenge.

Ever since I refused, Celine has drifted away from me on her own without ever asking. Maybe he's discouraged or something, I don't want to bother thinking about it.

In the past, I refused because I felt unworthy to be accompanied by any woman. I am afraid of having a relationship with anyone. I'm not interested in my own friend, either, Celine. Only once in love, to Zahra, that's all.

And now I love Gloria without thinking about the other woman. Unfortunately Gloria left me, so sad.

"Owen, I feel bad for your help." Celine looked at me with her shoulder face.

"Now I'm asking you, if it wasn't me, who would you be asking for help with?"

The woman bowed lethargicly, then shook her head weakly.

"Yes, let's just say that our meeting that happened to be today is my way to help you."

"Thank you very much" he sounded condescending.

"Yes, let's go down!" take me out of the car.

While walking towards the lobby, I called Jared to catch up with me.

I introduced Jared to Celine as soon as my assistant arrived.

"Celine, after this you can tell Jared whatever you need. He'll help you." I moved towards the elevator followed by Jared and Celine - after finishing with the matter of renting one apartment unit for the woman to live in.

"Ah yes, tell Jared about your household problems. I'll hire a good lawyer."

Celine looked at me dumbly, then her voice started to sound.

"You serious? Owen. Sorry for my behavior that was too childish" said Celine.

"Hmmm..."

"Do you have a problem?" Apparently Celine is guessing my situation.

"No," I said, trying to put on a smile.

"really? Your face looks tangled and that's it...." Celine pointed towards my hands wrapped in gauze.

"Oh this. It's only a minor incident wound." I glanced at Jared who was down, gave a code through the eyes so that he did not tell this problem later to Celine for example this woman asked him.

Celine nodded despite the look on her face not believing my words.

Celine came out first from the elevator because the floor of the apartment I rented for her was one floor below my unit.

"Don't tell Celine anything about my personal matters. Take care of the problem until it's over and help him get out of the country. If he has a residence permit here please help revoke that permit" I'm telling Jared.

"Yes, Sir."

"Have you got Gloria's address in Indonesia?" ask again.

"Here you go, sir."

"Alright, take care of our flight immediately."

"Sir, shouldn't we be the ones looking for Miss Gloria to Indonesia?"

"Why? I want to come get her!"

"Sorry, sir, but somehow I feel that Miss Gloria is still in our country."

"What??"
