The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 76

The event went well, the invited guests enjoyed the dishes provided. Chef deftly grills meat in a grill for guests who want to enjoy a bequeathed dish.

On the other side of the park, Sinta was enjoying her mocktail in her hands alone away from the crowd. Sitting in a garden chair looking at the beauty of the garden in the light of the lights.

"Only by yourself ? mind if I join ?" A foreign voice of a man interfered with his daydream.

Sinta looked at the man she had just seen this time. "Actually yes, I want to be alone." Answer Sinta ketus.

The man only smiled hearing Sinta's reply. "Beautiful women should not sit alone when others are excited there." Said the stranger while looking at the crowd of invited guests.

Sinta turned her head to look at the crowd of invited guests to hear the man speak. "I want to be alone." Sinta says.

The man then sat down next to Sinta, ignoring Sinta's words to not want to be disturbed.

"You don't seem to understand my words." Sinta said after seeing the stranger sitting next to her.

"Print Son."

"Huh !" Sinta's reflexes did not understand the stranger's intentions.

"My name is Pratama's Son you can call me Son."

"I'm not asking and I'm not interested in knowing your name." Sinta said ketus.

"It turns out the nature of Sinta Ibrahim like this, not friendly with others."

Sinta was surprised to find out the man knew her. "You know me ?"

"Of course you know, the ones who came to the show tonight were all your family business partners and we know all the members of the Arian Ibrahim family."

"So it turns out." Said Sinta starting to like the open and honest nature of the man beside her.

"Why don't you join the others ?" ask the curious son.

"With the others who do you mean ?" Sinta asked back. "I felt like an anti-mosquito when I joined up with Brother Zack and Alanna. It's boring being with mom and dad, being with Johan is more impossible." Sinta added with a grim countenance.

"Therefore I rarely see you on shows like this ?"

"That's how."

Their attention was shifted to the approaching footsteps from behind.

"I've been looking for you." Johan said in an annoyed tone to Sinta.

"What are you looking for me ?" Sinta ignored the upset tone Johan showed her.

"You disappeared from the show so your parents told me to look for you." Johan said as he glanced at the man sitting beside Sinta.

"How are you doing Johan ?" The son stood up to greet Johan as he reached out to shake hands.

"Good news, Pratama's Son." Johan welcomes the hand of the Son. "I didn't expect you'd come all the way from Singapore to attend tonight's event." Johan said formally.

"I couldn't possibly not have come to attend the invitation from Arian Ibrahim."

"You haven't been to Indonesia for a long time."

"Yes, I rarely go back to Indonesia since taking care of the Ibrahim family's hotel in Singapore." The son said with a friendly smile.

"You're too condescending, you're serving as General Manager there not without reason because your family owns the second largest stake after the Ibrahim family." Johan.

Sinta as a listener became aware without having to ask who the real Pratama Son who had invited him to tell a story but it did not make him interested in knowing more about the man.

"Sister Johan said earlier that mama and papa were looking for me, where were the two of them ?" Sinta asked cutting off the conversation of the two of them.

"They're in the park where the event took place." Johan replied turning his attention to Sinta.

"Show me." Pinta Sinta's.

"All right, I'll show you." Johan. "Excuse me, I must accompany Miss Sinta." Johan said goodbye to the Son.

"Please." Putra Saying. "Next time we meet and talk." The son said to Sinta before they turned away who was only nodding his head back by Sinta without smiling.

"So they're here, maybe someone asked them to talk somewhere else."

"It doesn't matter if I go inside ? I want to rest in my room. This show is boring because there's no one I know and who I can talk to." Sinta complained of putting on a lazy face.

"Didn't you just chat with the Pratama Son ?" Johan asked in wonder.

"We don't talk, he's the one who suddenly talks."

"You're not interested in him ?" Johan asked curiously.

Sinta frowned hearing Johan's words. "I'm not a woman who likes without knowing her first."

"Didn't you do that to me ?"

Sinta threw her face away hearing Johan's words. "That was then, not anymore. You rejected me at that moment." Say Sinta with a tinge.

"You were a child, you didn't know the difference between love and attraction and something new."

"I'm not a kid who can't tell the difference between those two things." Sinta muttered slowly.

Johan heard but pretended not to know. "We'll meet your sister to let her know if you want to go back to your room." Johan said to divert the conversation.

"All right." Sinta said, knowing clearly the meaning of the words of Johan who did not want to discuss this further.

They enter the house through the balcony of the living room that connects the garden. They found Zack and Alanna sitting relaxing on the living room couch in the corner.

Sinta sat down, joined them on the sofa. "Sister Zack, I'm tired and want to rest early." Sinta.

"Why ? you're not well ?" Zack asked.

"No, just tired."

"Go get some rest."

"I'll take her upstairs." Johan interrupted.

"Yes Johan, take Sinta upstairs." Alanna quickly said before the others replied.

"I can do it myself." Sinta refused. "Just go upstairs, I can't possibly get lost in my own house."

"I'll keep you up." Johan insisted on making Sinta sigh in resignation.

"As far as you are." Said Sinta walking towards the stairs towards the second floor.

Alanna just smiled faintly looking at her second-hand behavior.

Zack looked at Alanna. "Is there something funny ?" Zack asked curiously.

"It seems like someone is starting to not be able to hide his feelings." The mysterious Alanna.

"What do you mean ?" Zack doesn't understand.

"Johan looks like everyone else. He usually looks calm and can control his feelings but now he looks like a restless person."

"Thulkah ? I see it as usual."

Alanna is worried about seeing the insensitive Zack. "Huh ! Mas Zack is not sensitive at all."
