Once his work in Yogyakarta was completely finished, Langit immediately booked a flight with a morning flight even though today there is actually a lunch invitation with the campus there. But, with a heavy heart Heaven rejected him. His longing for Shien that was stirring in his heart made Sky choose to go home as soon as possible. Moreover, it has been almost four days now he did not hear from Shien because the busyness made him not have time to contact the girl either via chat messages, phone, or video.
Guilt rippled in his heart as he saw the barrage of messages and missed calls from Shien as soon as he turned on his phone. Sky intended to call Shien back and told him that he was going home, but kept him out. The sky decided to surprise the girl by coming to her office later.
The sky arrived in Bandung at about eight in the morning. The rain that hit did not discourage the sky to continue the journey home to his apartment. The sky had to clean up and change his clothes first before meeting Shien later.
Arriving at the apartment lobby, Sky was surprised by Terry who suddenly shouted his name when Sky's feet almost stepped in to get into the elevator that had just opened.
The sky turned next to raised eyebrows, astonished that Terry could be in his apartment building. As he remembered, only a few people knew he lived there. It was just the people closest to him. Or maybe Terry was about to visit his relatives who also lived in the same apartment with Sky and happened to meet? Or Terry himself has an apartment unit there? The questions appeared in the head of Heaven.
“Hai, Brother.” Sapa Terry smiled brightly while tucking the child's hair using his pointy finger behind the ear.
While Heaven just silently looked at him questioningly.
“At last we met too. I went to the hospital yesterday, but he said you were out of town.” Terry continued to say a little clumsy because he found the usual Sky reaction. Too ordinary. The man was even impressed to look at him without interest. In fact, he has dressed up as beautiful as possible and wears a sexy dress in the cold weather today.
“What's up?” Sambar Langit finally, did not want to waste time serving Terry.
“Kakak haven't read my chat?” Terry asked to be sure.
The sky rolled his eyes lazily. He remembered Terry had sent him a few messages with the words that were insulting to Shien, and Heaven did not touch him at all.
“If you come here just want ugly Shien, you better go.” The sky was cold, then turned around and again pressed the elevator button to reopen the door.
“I'm not lying that Shien is not as good as you think. Shien way the same other guy behind you.” Terry said behind the sky.
“Keep why?” Ask the heavens without intending to look over. “While what you say is true, it won't make me see you or anyone.” He continued, refusing firmly and blatantly, making Terry who heard him instantly clench his hands in anger. His delicate jawline seemed to tighten restraining furiously.
Terry couldn't believe it. When other men are competing to get it. But Heaven rejected him without thinking, even when he himself came directly to him.
“Ck, I'm not sure you can trust that before you see this. And you will surely regret choosing Shien.”
The sky again ignored Terry's babble which he thought was rumbling it, he then stepped into the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator door to close again, Sky noticed Terry who was now busy opening the contents of his bagya before then entering the elevator and handed an envelope map to the hands of Heaven directly.
The sky frowned inexplicably, a little confused. What exactly is the contents of the envelope that Terry gave her? But Sky guess it was something that would provoke Shien again.
He just made up with Shien a few days ago. The sky does not make sure he will not believe anything.
“In there is proof that what I say is true.” Obviously Terry is once again, but that doesn't make Heaven care at all.
Not waiting for Heaven to say his words, the girl then left, leaving behind the sky that was pecking with her flat face.
Shien was too lucky to get everything easily. But not with the sky. Terry wouldn't let that happen. He has loved and targeted Heaven for more than ten years. If Heaven cannot be his, then others must not either.
********
The sky came out of the bathroom, already complete with his new clothes. His face also looked much fresher, although he felt his body was still very tired.
The movement of his hand that was drying his hair stopped as his gaze caught the map of amlop that was given Terry lying on the dressing table.
Although Heaven does not want and try not to believe or be affected, but it cannot be denied if his mind is quite disturbed by Terry's speech.
The sky opened the envelope. He gasped, but still tried to calm down as soon as he saw the contents of the map amlop. There, there are more than ten photos with the same object, Shien and the figure of a man who is very familiar, Sagara William. The object in the photo is a little blurry, but it can still be clearly seen.
The sky looked at the photos one by one with frowns between believing and disbelief.
The photo taken from a distance while Shien and Sagara were at the airport, they hugged in there. Not only that, some photos show Shien and Sagara coming in and out of one of the five-star hotels in Bandung. There are also photos that are clearly visible when they enter a hotel room, and in the photo also show their closeness to others, such as when Sagara embraces and ruffles Shien's hair.
Sky recalled some time ago Shien told her that he would meet the Author who cooperated with his company. But, Sky did not expect if it was Sagara. The second brother of Jingga who was quite close to him.
Ahh, that's not what's bothering him. But, Sky did not expect if Shien had a very close relationship with Sagara. And why did Shien have to pick her up at the airport and hug? Why did they both go to the hotel?
The sky is starting to fade. His head began to be filled with unreasonable thoughts.
Two adults walked into the hotel room. . , I don't know, the sky didn't want to continue thinking about it.
Shaking his head quickly, the sky then moved, then took his jacket and car keys. The sky had to make sure of it to Shien himself.
********
The sky came to Shien's office, but he found the girl's room empty. Similarly to Fina and the other secretarial staff, Sky did not see them on his desk. Sky thought, maybe there was an important meeting and he decided to wait in Shien's room, but he was used to it.
However, the next second an Office Boy who would clean up Shien's room came and told Sky that Shien had left the office since morning. But the OB did not explain or say where Shien had gone because he did not know about it.
Exhaling his coarse breath, Sky then took the phone in his jacket pocket to contact Shien. And just now he turned on the phone, a chat message from a number that Sky did not save his name came in. Message from Terry.
The sky is clucking. But even so, he still opened the chat message.
“Romantic two-way chocolate drinking.”
Sky read the chat message, then his gaze turned to the photo that accompanied him. The photo shows Shien sitting together in a cafe with Sagara. They look very relaxed.
The sky knows the place. Very know because one week ago he attended the opening of the current Liblary Cafe concept coffee shop, he even gave a bouquet of flowers to the owner, Sagara William. One who rarely returns, and once he returns will not return abroad. Langit recalled, Sagara said that he had found a reason to settle in Indonesia.
No. gabe. The sky could not accept it if the reason was Shien.
After that, Sky moved from his seat and decided to return to the apartment. Not forgetting he sent Shien a message saying that he would wait in the girl's apartment.
As if not enough with all the photos given Terry, who managed to make his heart gamang. Upon his return to the apartment, Langit gets a package from Anonymous which is deposited at the security post.
And he felt his heart heat up when he saw the contents of the package. Shien's pictures with Nathan. It looks like night. Some photos show Shien playing splashing water in the pool with Nathan, some of them showing their closeness while playing with rabbits.
Sky knew they were friends since childhood, but seeing the closeness of the two, clearly made Sky jealous. So jealous that Heaven wanted to hit them. He wondered, could they have more feelings than friends?
For thirty minutes the sky was silent on the sofa of the apartment lobby looking at the photos with a feeling of remorse. His heart was so gambled, wondering what kind of person was Shien really? Does he not know her enough?
In the next second, Sky's gaze turned on the quite familiar car that had just arrived in front of the main entrance of his apartment building. Although from a distance, Sky can clearly see Sagara coming down from the car with his yellow umbrella, then open the car door for someone, and Sky does not need to guess again. It was obvious that someone was Shien.
The sky could feel his entire muscles convulsing, and his blood boiling within seconds. All the calm that he had been desperately trying to maintain now melted away for a moment.
********
The sky sensed someone approaching him as soon as the apartment door opened, and it was certain it was Shien.
“Surge you!” Excited the cold Sky while releasing the hands of Shien who suddenly hugged his stomach. Then he turned around, then pushed Shien's body violently, thus making the girl fall and hit her back against the bookshelf. The girl seemed to be grimacing in pain.
The sky looked at Shien in surprise and felt guilty at once, he actually unintentionally pushed Shien to such a fall. But even so, it did not make Sky run to help the girl stand up.
Jealousy had completely eroded his sanity until he let the tired-looking Shien wake up on his own.
“Ceiling, you why?” Shien asked puzzledly, also surprised by the sudden attitude of Heaven treating him that harshly. His heart throbbed pain, followed by his tears that began to pool.
Shien rubbed his shoulder arm that was slightly agitated due to the impact with the bookshelf. He then walked limping and sat on the sofa, his legs getting sicker not strong enough to be invited to stand for too long. Fresh blood seemed to seep from the gauze that wrapped the wound on his leg.
“I didn't expect it to turn out like this is your behavior behind me.” Sky quipped, then sat down next to Shien by taking a seat at the end of the sofa.
“I don't know what you mean.” Shien was upset. What was he doing behind her?
“What is your relationship with sister Gara?” Immediate Heaven, his eyes sharply filled with intimidation.
While Shien blinked in confusion, still failing to digest Sky's remarks. Shien also had no idea who the person Sky had mentioned earlier.
“Sagara, Jackson William's. Are they not the same person? How close are you to him?” Repeat Sky as if understanding Shien's confusion.
“Ordinary work associate, ordinary friend. He's Aunt's student, I've known him for a long time. But there is nothing meaningful from our relationship.” Answer Shien as he is. And it didn't take long for Shien to understand that the man sitting next to him was angry, although he was still confused as to where Sky knew Jackson from.
Why should Heaven be angry? Shien did nothing wrong.
The sky snorted violently. “What ordinary friends should pick up at the Airport keep hugging? Do regular friends have to go to a hotel room together? Ordinary friends should be this close?”
Sky then throws all the photos of Shien and Sagara that he took from inside the envelope map.
Shien gasped, but did not show his surprise. Look at the photos one by one.
“Ck, what cooperation do you do in the hotel room?” Sky sarcasm asked, making Shien look up and look at him with a dislike look. Shien really did not like Sky's words just now. He was like accusing Shien of doing something non-existent.
“Do not haphazard, Sky.” Shien's law doesn't accept. Shien was trying to explain something, but the Sky did not want to hear it.
“What's off? You even come to the cafe during business hours. Intentionally, would you do me?” Pointing at the Sky, making Shien even more furious.
“That was because it was in the office. . .”
“Udah deh do not need to make a classic excuse use office affairs all.” Sela Langit quickly, making Shien's explanatory sentence swallowed back. The man instead threw the other photos towards Shien. “And not only her, you also mess with Nathan.”
Shien took one by one the photos that the Sky had thrown, then looked at them with a frowning forehead. “Where did you get all these photos from? You secretly worried about me?” Ask with a probing look.
“Udah deh, Shi, you do not need to worry about talking.” The Exclaiming of the Sky, made Shien look at him disappointed.
“I don't know where you got this photo from. But it's obvious you're wrong pa-”
“Why the hell, Shi? Why should there be other people around you? Or do you like to be watched like that, yes?” Sambar Sky was angry.
Shien who heard that looked at him sadly. It turned out, in Sky Shien's mind was such a person. Doesn't he really know Shien?
“Sky, you hamu should be horrified me du. . .”
“I didn't expect, Shi.” The sky did not give Shien a chance to deliver his defense sentence.
“You are from the outside very sweet. But, inside you are destroyed.”
Shien squeezed the end of the dress he was wearing with trembling hands, as if channeling the pain that was now slowly beginning to creep in his heart. Her tears welled up again, her heart completely hurt hearing Heaven scold her like that.
“Yes said people. You are an accomplished seducer. Best woo I've ever met.” Add Sky.
Shien wiped away the tears that had fallen on his cheeks, then looked at the Sky as sharp as Heaven staring at him. He did not expect such words to come out of the mouth of Heaven. Shien felt his heart heat up after the Sky reached him.
“It is very clear that you never gave me a little trust.” Shien. “You dare say anything to me. How dare!” Shien shook his head with a gaze full of disappointment as well as sadness.
“I didn't think you'd be more willing to believe the same person who sent this photo than me.” Shien was tired. Shien's head was filled with various unfinished things. Her transplant operation is off, Shanna's attitude to her, her new book that people claim. And now the Sky was adding to his headache, when Shien expected the Sky to be his place of leaning, his place of sharing, at a time when his heart could hardly bear to accept all the suffering again.
But what did Shien get from him now? The sky had just added to the wound in his heart.
“What I saw in this photo is enough to explain everything.” As for Heaven, he did not want to listen to any explanation from the girl's mouth.
Shien smiled smirkily. “It turns out your mind is only this shallow, huh?”
The sky was silent while throwing its face away. His explosive anger in the heart made his ears seem clogged.
“Everything you see in this photo is wrong.” Shien was desperate. The sky did not want to hear him, and Shien was at a loss to explain where the situation was like this.
“Not trying to evade, Shi.” The sky does not want to hear anything more.
“Oke, what do you want?” Shien asked not to argue anymore. Shien was already too tired today, his ears would no longer be able to hear the words Sky that might again hurt his heart if the man continued to talk about something that Shien clearly did not do.
“Ending everything?” Challenge Shien with a trembling voice.
The sky turned its head, staring at Shien with a sharp gaze as if ready to skin him. He grabbed Shien's chin.
“Do not ngaco you.” He said coldly, then threw the grip of his hand on Shien's chin with a full jolt, making the girl feel an ache.
“Consider your behavior from now on. Do not be close to brother Gara, Nathan, or other guys who may be around you besides me.”
The sky then stood up from his seat after he gave Shien an ultimatum, then moved on and out of the apartment. Leaving Shien who was sitting speechless with a blank look.
Shien's heart ached remembering the words Sky had just now. It hurt so much that he couldn't cry. Shien wanted to escape from this situation right now. Go far away until no one can hurt her anymore.
