“About Cross, how do you know, Darling?”
Hengky who was walking beside me smiled softly, his finger crept into my finger, grasping tightly, making a warm feeling as if it was flowing slowly into the body,
“Mm... possible male instinct?”
I turned my head, looking at his face that somehow now looks more handsome in my eyes, “You are great, dear.”
“Oh, I guess you want to scold me again,” he said with a fad smile.
I looked down embarrassed, “Sorry.. I shouldn't have been like that earlier.”.
Hengky did not answer. He just kept smiling while tightening his hand.
“What Gilang and Shinta really will be imprisoned?”
Hengky's eyes were busy looking for something. As he found what he was looking for, he pulled my hand, “we sit there first.”
The tenth floor turned out to contain not only a bowling alley but also a very beautiful rooftop garden. The dark afternoon sun seemed to embrace us so that we could sit under it while enjoying the twilight.
I circulated the view, there were some tall plants in the corner. Small tables and unique chairs neatly lined up facing the front of the building. There are also chairs with long models coated with a sofa base that looks very comfortable near the wall. Above it is lined with small lights with warm colors to beautify the rooftop when the sunlight begins to dim. Some hidden lighting near the plant adds to the impression of warm and comfortable.
“Looks like a lot of things are still stuck in your mind.”
I confirmed my sitting position,
“I just thought, if Gilang case was brought to the police, then Nisa's parents would also get involved and find out about something that I believe Nisa desperately covered it from her parents. It feels like de javu. I've been in that position and I don't want Nisa to experience the same thing.”
Hengky folded his hands over his chest, his eyes looked at me in astonishment, “You are always busy watching others. It feels like just yesterday you said that you will not release the person behind terror and hacking?”
“Yes, this is all wrong. I want Gilang punished but I also do not want Nisa and other friends to suffer like me.”
His eyes made me feel wrong. I scratched the head that was not itchy, the corner of my eye caught Hengky still looking at me without blinking.
“Ayolah... say something..” say masygul.
Hengky's laughter broke. He stood up and grabbed my head into his arms, making me feel the muscles around his stomach and the warmth of his body,
“You gemesin anyway if it goes awry again. When else can I squirm Naya who usually does not want to lose the same I became obedient like this?”
I reflexively moved my lips and let go of his embrace, “Satisfied deh because this will not happen again.”
“O yes? Ah, there should be other cases that make you more dependent on me.”
“Ih, word is prayer loh!” I said pretend to be angry.
Hengky laughed, he walked back to his chair, he said,
“Humm... I'm starting to think Gilang shouldn't have been taken to the police. His family background is almost like mine. From childhood he was taken care of by his grandmother, his parents were dead. Whether he's stuck in the wrong relationship or lack of parental affection, which is obviously whatever the reason is, the mistakes he can't be forgiven.”
“Then, is prison the right solution?”
“Entahlah. Looks like I'll hand it over to Mami's Social Foundation. There are many teenage and adult children who have committed similar crimes with Gilang. I do not understand why Mami is willing to spend free money just to accommodate and build them.
Obviously, a lot of kids after getting out of there, they turn out to be better and quite impressive individuals.
Oh yeah, you know Alfian's sister, the Dedi?”
I'm nodding.
“His sister was treated at Mami's Foundation. Since then Alfian has felt like he owed me.”
I blinked my eyes. Hengky told me about an amazing thing in a very simple tone. Making it look like what his family has done is nothing.
Two male servants in their twenties suddenly approached us, their eyes looking worried, they politely bowed towards Hengky,
“Sorry, Sir. We didn't know you were visiting here today. Do you want us to empty the room? Or grab some snacks and drinks?”
Hengky rewinded his head, his forehead wrinkled in astonishment, he casually flicked his hand, “Hey, relax! If I need you, I will come to you. Don't bother running here.”
“T-but, we....” one of them bowed, his fingers squeezed each other, he looked terrified.
“What's up? You know very well I don't want to be treated special, do you?”
“How can the prospective successor of the company Papi not be treated specifically?”
The baritone voice that sounded so authoritative in my ears shocked us. We simultaneously turned to the source of the sound.
A middle-aged man with a height of 185 cm, looks excited to wear a gray suit complete with a black fedora hat and his face, O God... this man was very similar to Hengky. White skin is clean, black eyebrows are thick regular, eyes are sharp monolid, as well as the shape of the nose and lips that often make me envious.
I always say it feels unfair if men get a natural red lip color whereas I should always apply a lipstick or at least a thin lipgloss just to make my lip color not look pale.
Wait a minute, don't tell me this guy.....
“Papi?”
Oh, Naw! Complete already!
How could I meet Hengky's father with this appearance?
The man cleared his throat, he turned to the man in his thirties beside him, “Fired the two. How could they not recognize my son from earlier?”
The faces of the two servants grew pale, they clenched their hands, begging for mercy.
Hengky's jaw hardened, he walked in front of the two maids and then turned a little towards them, “Who dares to fire them, then will face me.”
I looked at the alternation between Hengky and his father. At a glance, I can already understand that their relationship is not going well.
“Did your Mommy never teach you manners, Hengky?!” hengky's father's tone of voice was high. He confirmed the position of his hat, covering up the shame after being denied by his son.
Hengky snide laugh, “Stop joking, Pi. Papi wants to continue this fight until morning?”
Deheman's voice rang out loudly from Hengky's father. He walked ahead of us and sat in the garden chair. Proudly he pointed at the two maids, “Hey, quickly get me a drink!”
The faces of the two men changed rapidly. Smiling with relief they bowed respectfully then immediately half ran away from us.
Hengky sighed in annoyance, he walked quickly towards me then pulled my hand, “Come, Naya. We'll just go home.”
“You don't want to explain who that woman is, Hengky?”
I turned my head towards Hengky's father, his eyes making me very uncomfortable. He looked at me from top to bottom and laughed mockingly.
“Don't ever think Papi could touch mine.” Hengky said slowly but with an intonation of emphasis on each of his words.
“Since when are you allowed to choose women as you like?”
Hengky throw a pissed breath, “Then, just throw me out. Simple, right?”
Without waiting for an answer from his father, Hengky immediately pulled my hand away. He asked me not to look back. Ignoring the screams and scolding from his father's mouth.
Arriving in the elevator, I began to realize that Hengky's hands were shaking. I quickly turned to her, looking at her face with worry,
“You're okay, Darling?”
“For God's sake, Naya. I really want to kill that old bastard now!!”
