The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 39 - Not a Surprise

Alfa was sitting on the front porch with Leon when the cold night air began to hug each other tightly. Both of them looked ahead. Looking at the white building right across the street. Wrestling with their own minds. It has been almost two months since they stopped the busy planning of the exhibition, because Alfa had to be hospitalized some time ago and the process of therapy that took a long time. The room that has been cleaned, the paintings of his work and the photos of his camera shots that are neatly displayed are now dusty again, there is no free time for him to return to touch his favorite items.

“Alfa?” Leon asked with a moment of head.

Alfa who was holding her coffee cup answered with just a look at her head.

“What Davian was your best friend for a long time?” Unexpectedly, Leon said back his unanswered question at that time.

The man smiled. “Iya. He's my best friend since I started my career in photography and joined Blueict.” Alfa stared fully at the young boy beside her. Interpret the expression he showed there. “You have something you want to tell me?” Properly, Alfa drew the bait after the bait was finally welcomed.

“I saw him many times coming to Tiara when you were not home. Do you know that? Is that reasonable?” Leon tilted his body. Surprised because it turns out Alfa was just relaxed, not at all surprised by the words and questions he made.

Alfa sipped her coffee again in one small sip. “Sometimes, you have to be stupid to be smart. I know all. I know what he did and planned. How could I not know, the chemistry of a friend is almost the same as the chemistry of a mother to her child is not it? One point of view change you know, that's if you're sincere. But it turns out, I'm the only one who's sincere here. Davian...” The breath sounded heavy, as if trying to prepare with the bad words he was about to say. “Davian traitor.” Alfa drank her coffee rough to the toilet and placed her cup on the side table.

Leon grazed. He sat back in a straight position. Lost words.

A few seconds passed in silence, before boldly Leon finally spoke. “You know everything? But why did you just leave Davian alone?” The forehead creased deeply, on the mimic of his face. Expressing curiosity that he did not expect, he himself was surprised.

“I didn't let it.” Alpha daydreaming. The flashes of events then opened wide before his eyes. How bitterly he was forced to put on his smile as the flames of anger burned down his grief. He is grateful to have been a person who can withstand anger, until now, he is still thinking of the best way to end his pretense drama with Davian.

He did not expect, it turns out Davian himself who intercepted Tiara to spread rumors one year ago. Alpha angry? Yep. Sure oes. But he felt intrigued to learn more about how his best friend would act. Davian turned out to be just a labile man who had absolutely no stance. His attitude and heart were easily swayed in a single shock.

Even now he can laugh with satisfaction because with the accident, Davian was able to melt and sympathize, and undo his intention to return to approach Tiara. Why are there so many hypocrites around. Alfa seemed to be standing right in the middle of the theater stage red mosquito net. Knowing exactly how they are in front and behind. But unfortunately, no one noticed. They were still comfortably doing each other's tricks.

“I will certainly act. However, I have to consider many things because this matter is very complex.”

“Maybe I can help?” The man touches one finger towards the base of the nose, correcting the position of the glasses.

Alfa raised her Eyebrows, then smiled and sneered. “You want to involve that innocent you into my complicated life? You take care of the side effects yourself.” Fold both hands in front of the chest.

Leon laughs.

“Why are you so interested in my life? Is it because it is full of drama that makes you encouraged to drip sweat and tears?” Alfa smiled amusedly. Not surprisingly, at a young age Leon was able to behave more mature than his age, not drifting in the temptation of young people to spend days with pleasure.

“Hmm... I just feel the need to thank you for the many things you have done for me.” Tying both his hands to his lap.

“So?” Mimic Alfa's face was seen judging with her sharp smiling expression.

Leon looked up. “Kurasa... thus.”

“Good. Follow me.” Alfa got up from her seat. Staring sharply at Leon who was dumbstruck by the sudden invitation. With nanap, he finally nodded his head and joined in standing, waiting for the next Alpha attitude.

******

Alfa and Leon were in two different cars, swapping places and now they were sitting behind the wheel. Thanks to his patience with therapy, Alfa did not hesitate to immediately retrain the muscles of his feet by setting foot on the accelerator and brake pedals, after no more pain and soreness in his leg bones.

Leon also started Alfa's Sport car engine and followed behind where his car was running. He was only asked by Alfa to follow only to which destination he would go, of course with a distance that is not too close so that they are not caught doing the plan. Alfa is disguised as she is wearing a hat and jumper that she covers on the head, as well as Leon.

Thirty minutes they circled the streets of the city at low speed and their car moved further and further away from the Alfa residence. After stopping at a red light several times, Alfa stopped her car right by the side of the road at a quiet nightclub.

Wow... Alfa took her to a nightclub? Is it not wrong?

Leon was still silent in his place, waiting for the next action of his boss until in the first five minutes, Leon saw the clock on his wrist and looked briefly at the mobile phone, I wish there was news that could throw away his fret at that time.

Alpha looked around. A cynical smile appeared on his face after a few minutes, which he had been waiting for finally came as well, asking him to immediately approach. The black sedan parked some distance across it became the center of his attention. The one who has been following him all this time.

Because there was no movement from him, Alfa immediately contacted Leon to get out of his car and immediately entered the closed club area. The building does have only one access entrance gate with high walls towering to the right and left. Behind it, there are ornamental bamboo trees that collect and cool during the day and of course safe on dark days like today to hide.

“Leon, comein. Slow down before the entrance. Keep yourself busy with your phone.” Alfa said just like that after the call from her was connected.

“Good.” He said then released the phone from the ear because Alfa immediately cut the phone line.

For a moment he tidied up his appearance, then got out of the car. In accordance with Alfa's orders, Leon walked leisurely through the guard gate after a brief dialogue with the guards there. Suddenly, his steps came to a halt and he took the phone from inside his pocket exactly two meters before the entrance.

Alfa looked closely at the movements that were happening around him. He smiled with satisfaction as Leon entered the club. And, the moment he was looking forward to came as well. One man dressed and with black eyes came out of his car. Noting with certainty, that the Alpha he was looking for had entered the club. The man quickly crossed the road and entered through the gate.

After the situation was conducive, Alfa got out of her car and walked cautiously closer to the black-bedoed man. Fortunately, there was no one else around and he immediately dragged the man's hand and patted his body onto a dark bamboo tree without a light.

Alfa's left hand tightly gripped the white shirt worn by the man made him flabbergasted, widened to find a figure who was ready to hit him. Although in the dark, but dim light because there are small irregular reflections of light that contributed in harming them both make the man once again widen his eyes.

He knew exactly who this person in front of him was. Gheo Alpha. He glanced at the man still standing at the door of the club whom he initially knew to be Alfa. Ill-mannered. It's been framed.

After studying the facial expression of the man who seemed to have grasped the situation, Alfa tightened her grip to make the man complain.

Alpha growling. “July!!... You keep following me! I can't believe Mrs Helmia told a nut spy like you!” In one hard blow, Alfa smacked her fist into the man's left cheek.

A violent sigh accompanied by a whisper of pain and fear appeared on his face after he sat on the ground due to the Alpha punch that felt very stinging on his cheek.

Leon turned his head after hearing a foot movement behind him. He had his phone in his right pocket and his hand was embedded there. His body stiffened watching how Alfa strangled the male shirt in front of him and punched his hard punch. He had never once said that an Alpha who looked so gentle and romantic could be violent.

Oh, this is what they came here for. Alfa wanted to trap the man. But, who is he?

“Alfa...” The man spoke while panting, trying to normalize the pounding of his heart that made his breath hunt. “It's not like I want to harm you," he said. Feeling very shocked because unexpectedly, Alfa will know the movements.

Alfa. “You should have been fired! What does Mama want from me?” Rubbing his mouth violently restrained his anger and turned his head quickly as Leon suddenly was already beside his body, talking through claps on his shoulders. Be calm.

Julius looked down as if he was faced with a big dilemma. These two people who are after and are being targeted by him are important people for him. He respected Helmia and Alfa as his superiors. So, which one should he choose?
