Second Change
Chapter 38's

"Lia..Lia.. It was so cool for your trip." Della cheered in our dorm room.

I was still clutched under the blanket in Della's rocking as soon as she saw me in the room after a week of disappearing.

I groaned and he showed me his phone screen that was still trying to open my eyes.

"Sister David turned out to be very tall, Lia." he cried again. "In this photo is clearly the face of Brother David. Better looking than Video Call."

I sat with half my body still in the blanket. Trying to escape the remnants of jetlag. I turned to Della's cell phone screen which displayed the contents of my medsos.

"Why did Brother David suddenly want to appear on your sosmed, Li?" ask Della again.

"I mean it." I answered with half-life consciousness and still hoarse voice.

From the beginning, David had warned me that he did not want his picture posted on any social media. For fear of inviting parties from television stations or editors to conduct exclusive interviews that are most hated. So far David has rejected dozens of media on the grounds of not wanting to appear in any media. But why did she manage to appear on my social media this time with various poses and casual clothes?

The story begins with the first post since I set foot in Japan. That's a picture of two Bento's we bought at the station. By caption: 'Our First Meal at Japan, after one year.'

After that post, my followers grew by two hundred in an hour. Those followers were none other than students on campus. No exception Pak Gil and Brother Zio. Then I told David that these two people often harassed me on campus. David's jealous spirit appears. He scooped my lips on the bed and then photographed it and then uploaded it to my social media.

"If they still bother you, tell me. I'll..."

"It's been.. It's been. This is enough." I touched his lips with my fingers.

And in the end, twenty posts over in Japan on average is the face of David. Day four, Katrine called that many media were asking for clarification from David about his appearance on social media. David laughed and asked Katrine to schedule an exclusive interview with the media.

"Seriously, Dave? Because of me." I said regretfully.

"It is time to bring yourself up. All promoting Dad's new project." David ended the media discussion with a kiss on my forehead.

I finally crawled down from the bed and opened one of the suitcases that was still lined up neatly. I took out a paper bag that read Issey Miyake and handed it to Della whose eyes immediately sparkled after peeking at the contents of the paper bag.

"Seriously, Li?!" he held the paper bag

I nodded confidently while smiling squeakily.

Della took out a black Lucent Bag with a three-dimensional look of triangular leather pieces arranged into a square in the entire bag. Della almost cried staring and stroking the bag since. I took this opportunity to get into bed to continue sleeping again. Because today is Sunday and it's still six in the morning. I yawned wide and went back to sleep.

***

The next day passed quickly. The midterms have passed and again the final semester exams are waiting in plain sight. David's time of abandonment has begun again. Every day Della and I are busy completing dozens of question sheets, making power points, making papers and individual guidance with lecturers. The results of the Final Semester Examination are certainly satisfactory. Finally A grade graced all my courses. And so is Della. Our rooms were filled with the boisterous cheers of both of us. This time I got a scholarship for next semester. I told this to David.

Then what happened?

The next morning, early in the morning, when the sun was still peeking lazily behind the slightly cloudy clouds. Someone knocked on the dorm door. Della opened the door, brother admin told me that an acquaintance of mine was waiting downstairs. A well-dressed, long-haired and bespectacled woman.

Della woke me up and accompanied me downstairs to greet the guest she said she knew me. I still can't guess if I have a brother with the traits mentioned earlier. Until the man finally stood in front of me.

I hugged Katrine who was just as happy when I saw her.

"Who are you?" ask me while lurking behind Katrine's back.

"Mr didn't come. He said Lia would get angry if you suddenly came here." he said as if knowing that I expected David's figure to appear from behind him.

"So, you're alone?" manywould be surprised. How David told Katrine to come all the way here by himself.

"Yes, alone." Katrine said wrongly.

Katrine rarely behaves like that. He is a confident person and does things for sure. But it looks like Katrine is hiding something. I took Katrine into the dorm room. It turns out Katrine is currently on leave after years of never having a holiday at all. Another awkwardness I felt was how Katrine could be on leave, when two days ago David said that there would be a meeting with investors about the development of the project. Since that day, David paced to meet investors out of town and midnight just got home. If the work is concerned with the project, clients, investors and shareholders, David should always involve Katrine. Katrine arranged all the schedules and materials and David studied them. Over the years, I've understood a little bit about David's work.

The third awkwardness is katrine far here but only stay for two days. But if it has not been on vacation for years, is not it more fun all vacation longer? Anyway Katrine's presence today in addition to leaving a frank & co necklace from David also leaves an awkwardness. Has not had time to invite Katrine to breakfast together, he was already saying goodbye. Yeah, that's fast for people who haven't seen each other for two years.

"Lia, who was that? It's really cool that her boyfriend wears a pickup suit in a blue sports car." asked the receptionist when Della and I were about to get out.

"Oh that, um." I panicked because the other brothers followed in curiosity. "His secretary is my boyfriend."

"Correct, the vibe is like a career woman. See that stiletton? Very classy."

"His girlfriend did you see that? Very handsome. I think that conglomerate."

Another awkwardness slammed into my heart. Blue sports car, suitably male and conglomerate-like. The unpleasant feeling of pumping my heart tightly and tearing my stomach.

"Del, I don't think I'm going to go with you" I thought I'd like to go into the room, calm down and call David.

There was actually a scenario that suddenly popped up in my brain that I didn't want to believe. What if actually David and Katrine came together, Katrine lied that David did not come and now they are both away, on vacation. If you are not on vacation, there may be a meeting with investors in this city. But why not tell me

My guess is supported by David's inactive phone. My mind's getting messed up. Unbecoming scenes appear mercilessly. The opinions of the brothers who saw were very sure that the man was Katrine's girlfriend. Then the blue sports car was a gift from David's father half a year ago as a birthday present. I still remember clearly that David said I wasn't fit to ride in a sports car. More suitable range rover or bmw that he often wear. Is it possible because this sports car is more suitable in use with the more elegant Katrine?

Ten times I tried calling David's inactive phone. A hundred times I have thrown out my increasingly wild thoughts. I don't know how long I've been sitting on the dorm room floor. Then my phone rings.

Della´s.

I lost the passion to pick up her phone and let her ring until she cut herself off. The chat ringtone reads.

Della: Li, pick up my video call quickly. We found his secretary brother David.

The next second my phone rang again. I immediately shifted the blue circle upwards. The blue sports car stopped in front of the hotel lobby from a distance and was covered in a strand of Della-marked leaves hiding across. Then Katrine came down from the car and a man extended his hand to greet Katrine's waist, leading her into the lobby. As they say, the man is in a neat, tall suit and definitely Katrine's girlfriend.

"Li, who is that man?" ask Della on the call.

"His face is not clear" I said.

Though I want to say, that from the back a little like David.
