Rental Girlfriend
Acting Time

Tension and awkwardness wrestled with the atmosphere of the dining table number 12. Two men were sitting together with a young and beautiful woman. Their faces showed discomfort to each other.

One young man named Angkasa took the girl's hand and held her tightly. "Ra, I mean it. Blue needs you, he's fucked up,"

"Ehem!" The girl named Kiara cleared her throat as she clasped her hand from the clutches of the glasses young man. "Sa, actually Blue has nothing to do with me anymore, but, why are you asking me? I'm sure there's someone more appropriate for you to tell me" the girl continued.

"You only, Ra! Nothing else" said the young man again.

Kiara silently looked at Kala from the corner of her eyes, she was worried that the cold-faced handsome man would get angry and snap at her. "Sorry, Sa, but I think you're wrong. I'm here enjoying my hour with atasa-, ...."

"Love!" sahut Kala suddenly.

"God!" tukas Kiara was surprised. Suddenly, Kiara and Angkasa looked at him. The unexpected words from Kala's lips made Kiara climb up. He snorted and shook his head. "Don't say weird,"

"Lho, you're my girlfriend, aren't you?" kala asked Kiara, then she set her eyes on Space. "So, Young Master, what this lover of mine said is true. You're the wrong person and my lover, it has nothing to do with whatever it is you call Blue,"

The face of Space was filled with disbelief. Highlight his eyes looked at Kiara and Kala hesitated. When the smart enough to know the look of disbelief from Space, then he approached Kiara and kissed the pinkish ranum object belonging to the girl.

"Well, she's my boyfriend!" kala said after peeping Kiara.

The man's face was flat and expressionless. Compared to the upside with Kiara's face that increasingly red. The girl was sculpting and unable to respond to anything, perhaps even her consciousness started to drift away.

Seeing the courage of Kala kiss Kiara makes Angkasa sure, that Kiara and Kala are indeed a real lover.

The spaceman breathed a long and rough breath. "Call me or Blue, our number is still the same as yesterday,"

After that he left while patting Kiara on the shoulder who was still unconscious. While Kala, the man sues Kiara with questions that are endless. "Who is that guy? I don't like him! It's not polite, cut off the activists of others! Hmh! Who is Blue anyway? What's your relationship with them? Why do you have to help Blue? Why is he?"

Kiara gave her palm to Kala. "Stop! Let me breathe!"

Kala sat back down to his place and made room for a moment for the girl he had just let out. His innocent face continued to stare at Kiara.

"Explain me! What the hell did you just do? But before that, we separate this first from work. In this second, I will not consider you as my superior. We are a grown man and woman! Well, explain!" kiara urged, her face still flushed red from embarrassment and annoyance.

It could be at a time like that, Kala kissed him. Kiara's heart seemed to be played by the man in his almost 30s.

Kala smiled. "Your friend needs proof, Kiara. He'll keep pushing you if I don't act so recklessly as I did,"

"Yes, tap-, ...."

Kala cut Kiara's words again. "Now, it's your turn to answer my question!"

Kiara looked fiercely at her superior. He had no choice but to answer Kala's question. "He's Space, my ex-boyfriend's best friend. Blue is my ex-lover, it all started with me looking for a rented lover, ...."

Kiara also recounted the beginning of her meeting with Blue. From them to a fight in the middle of the road, a messy dance party, Blue who calls him to be a hired lover until his marriage to Angeline is cancelled, until the last moment, when the, he learns that Blue's parents have deceived his father until they fell into poverty and he decides to end his relationship with Blue.

While Kiara told me, Kala ordered drinks and snacks to accompany their evening chat. While chewing he nodded in response to the story of his assistant.

"That collapse is my father's part" Kiara said sipping her drink.

Kala's bead follows Kiara's movements. Kiara's body language implies a pain that the girl has long harbored.

"Fight on, justice will be on your side" Kala comforted. "Then, don't you ever call your ex-boyfriend again! From now on, you're my girlfriend if you're out of the office! Understand!"

Kiara's forehead was furrowed and her two eyebrows were interlocked. "What do you mean?"

As he snorted, he stood up, and extended his hand towards Kiara. "Just obey my orders that you still want to work with me. Come on, let's go home!"

With hesitation, Kiara welcomed Kala's helping hand and the man clasped Kiara tightly. Kala's hand felt warm inside Kiara's grasp.

Upon arrival at the apartment, Renatha fell asleep with the television on and the girl fell asleep on the couch. Kiara smiled and she wrapped her best friend's body gently. He wanted to tell Renatha what had just happened.

The next day, Renatha screeched. "Kiarah! No way! What then? What then? What are you answering?"

Kiara's face turned red. Yes, he had already told her what happened at the dinner with Kala last night and as imagined, Renatha's response was very comforting to him.

Similarly, when he told me about his meeting with Angkasa and the man's request to bring Blue back.

"Lho, still running?" ask Renatha

Kiara put her shoulders together. "I don't know,"

Despite answering coldly, deep down inside Kiara, she was very worried about Blue. Where is he now? What is he doing right now? Is she happy with her marriage or is she not even married and still in search? Is he healthy or sick?

Kiara was silent. "But, I also thought about how Blue, Re, is doing,"

"Let's teach you to think of him. After all, he was in your life" Renatha said.

"Then, do I have to call him?" ask Kiara again, even though she already knows what her best friend answers to this question.

Renatha was silent for a moment and like Kiara's guess, the girl shook her head. "no need. Just focus on your life right now, Ra. It's enough of your business with the Bramasta family not knowing that!"

Although Renatha forbids him from contacting Blue or Space, Kiara's little heart is driven to do so. He was eager to find out how his ex-girlfriend was doing.

So, after arriving at the office, Kiara also ventured to send a message to Blue.

"Hey, how are you? Yesterday I met Angkasa, were you okay?" kiara asked in her message.

Soon, the reply from Blue came. ("Blue is fine and we are currently enjoying our honeymoon, Kiara,")

Kiara's heart seemed to stop while reading the message from Blue. Not from Blue, Angeline to be more precise. Soon, Kiara deletes the message and blocks the number.
