From the Blue apartment, Fabian went home first, only to bathe and change clothes and return to drive his car down the slippery streets after the rain. The goal is Mega, where Gerald has specifically invited him and the other members of Pain Killer to come there to celebrate the young man's birthday.
Initially, Fabian intended to visit Baskara to his home so that they could leave together. But because Baskara said he still had other things to take care of, Fabian finally left alone.
Arriving at Mega, the atmosphere is still quiet because the clock is only showing at 7. After parking the car, Fabian walked casually into the club building guarded by two burly men in all-black uniforms. Since he was already a regular customer, the two security officers no longer bothered to carry out identity checking procedures so that Fabian could waltz in freely.
Inside the club, Gerald was waiting. Not behind the bar table, but at one of the tables that are usually where VIPs spend drinks. The young man is also seen dressing up, styling his hair and making sure the clothes he is wearing now are appropriate enough for a celebration.
"Dude!" Gerald waved his hand, his smile widening to the ears.
Fabian replied to the wave of the hand, then accelerated the pace so that it could get to Gerald's side soon.
"Lo really rented Mega tonight?" asked Fabian, after he sat across from Gerald. His eyes scoured the entire corner of Mega, only to find a few people sitting at one of the tables, where the men were all Gerald acquaintances.
"Yup,"
"Tumbens? Bokap lo ngga ngoceh? Right, what's in her brain is money?" asked Fabian in wonder. Yup, Mega is actually a club belonging to Gerald's father, and it is a secret that is only shared with all members of Pain Killer only. Gerald worked at Mega because his father asked for it, and for the salary business, they actually counted it like the salaries of other employees.
Gerald smiled wryly before answering. "Gue almost drained all the savings I had to make the old man want to rent Mega tonight." Gerald said it hurt a bit to remember how much money he had to give his father just to rent Mega.
Well, unlike the Pain Killer members who lost both parents' roles, Gerald feels still more fortunate. His father and mother still give affection to him, although not greater than that given to his older sister who now lives in Canada. Only, his father was a little unable to be generous if it had anything to do with money and business. Anyway, according to Gerald's father, there's no such thing as family in business. Profit and loss must still be calculated correctly, even if it must be discussed with fellow family members.
In the past, when Gerald was a teenager, he was upset by his father's principles. He felt his father was too stingy. But, as he got older and he began to plunge into the workforce, Gerald began to understand that a business should indeed go that way. Because so far, he has never found a business that runs smoothly if it still mixes money problems with family status.
"He's really good at bussines" Fabian said, and Gerald nodded in agreement.
For a while, no other chatter happened. Gerald began to busy menekuri poselnya that repeatedly bring up the ringing notification. While Fabian began to look around again.
Fabian spent only a few seconds researching every angle his eyes went through. Until then his gaze arrived at the bar table, and in an instant he was glued there for quite a while. Memories of his first encounter with Blue go back to greeting. How could the girl not even bother to get her acquainted. How she dared to raise her head so high to defend herself. And there are many other things that in an instant have managed to get their own place in Fabian's head.
Then, Fabian realized that Blue is like that. And, little by little he began to realize how his actions this afternoon were too hasty. Fabian begins to realize that his good intention to prevent Blue from getting into bigger trouble might just hurt the girl's self-esteem.
"Gue invite the Blue,"
Fabian turned his head back to Gerald, just as the young man was putting his phone on the table. "But he said he couldn't come, sprained his leg." Gerald said again.
Only a nod of the head could Fabian give. For he could not possibly have told Gerald that he knew more about the girl, and had even made her a betting target with members of Pain Killer.
"You're one campus, right?" ask Gerald while thrusting a glass filled with vodka.
Fabian received the glass, looked at it for a while before draining the concentrated liquid in a single throat. "Different faculties" replied Fabian. The empty glass in his hand he thrust back to Gerald, asking to be refilled.
Gerald was happy to pour him a drink, although technically he was not working as a bartender tonight. "But there's still a chance for you to meet, right?" ask Gerald later.
"Our faculty buildings are far from end to end, so even if there is a chance, the odds are only one in a hundred." Lying Fabian.
"But it's still a chance, even if the numbers are small."
Fabian raised next to his eyebrows, starting to not understand where Gerald was going to lead this chatter of theirs. "Lo tell you what exactly?" asked Fabian, lazy to guess.
"She's a good girl,"
"Nobody said he was an asshole." Sela Fabian's.
Gerald sighed. "Let me finish my talk first" he protested.
"Well," Gerald straightened his back, within seconds turning his gaze into much more serious. The young man looked straight into Fabian's eyes, pausing long enough to look at Fabian's bead all the way inside. "I think .. you can try to open your heart to see him further. I mean ... you're the only one who never seems to have any interest in the opposite sex." Gerald impressed so carefully when delivering it, and Fabian knew clearly why the young man did it.
"But you said that she's a good girl" said Fabian, then chugged her Vodka again.
Gerald nodded, while Fabian smiled at the nod. "If she's really a good girl, you shouldn't ask me to do that. You know I'm a bastard,"
"You're not," elak Gerald.
"I am." Fabian Final. And it was really a final decision, because Gerald was no longer given the opportunity to talk more.
...****************...
The night, the more invited guests who come to Mega also more and more. Gerald had to repeatedly move from table to table to table, to simply greet the guests he invited and mince words after receiving a birthday greeting, until then he decided to return to the table where the four members of Pain Killer were.
Gerald didn't come back alone. He brought along four sexy-dressed girls whom he then introduced one by one to the half-drunk members of Pain Killer.
"Pick whichever one you like" Gerald said after he finished introducing the girls. Even though their names are not even remembered by members of Pain Killer because they were never interested in the names of the girls.
"Not yet, I'm off." Baskara said, while reaching for a glass filled with whiskey and then downing it.
The unusual statement certainly made everything on the table glare in disbelief. Because it had never happened before, a Pramudya Baskara refused a girl, let alone being offered to her for free.
Among all those struck by the astonishment, Fabian became the only one who was aware of another strangeness from Baskara even since the beginning of the young man's arrival to Mega a few hours earlier. There was absolutely no enthusiasm that Fabian saw from the young man. It was as if Baskara had come here not for fun, but simply to appreciate Gerald having been willing to invite him.
If you remember better, Fabian actually felt that Baskara's behavior had been strange since the Blue upload that shocked the Neosantara universe appeared. But Fabian has not had a chance to find out more about what happened to Baskara because he was busy thinking about Blue.
"Why? The girl's less hot?" Gerald said that out loud, making the four girls he brought look at each other then seem to start looking at their own looks.
"They're good. I'm just not in the mood" said Baskara. The young man then looked at the four girls in turn, put on a faint smile and looked back at Gerald. "I'm afraid I even fit the potatoes and make these beautiful girls disappointed."
Gerald let out a loud breath. "But I've prepared four of the best for you guys,"
"Do I make Reno," said Baskara lightly.
"Lo's eyes!" Reno with an ominous tone that had become a habit."I only have one, how can you play three?!"
Baskara chuckled softly. "I don't know how either. Think for yourself,"
After saying that, Baskara got up from her seat. He took Fabian with him, pulled out his arm and then slipped his fingers and tightened them with Fabian's.
The four girls who are still waiting for their fate suddenly focus wrongly on Baskara's actions. Various random thoughts started wandering in their heads, then one among the four smiled faintly at the thought.
While Reno, Juan and Gerald who already knew how absurd Baskara's behavior actually felt irritated because they knew the young man deliberately behaved so to lead the opinion that he was gay. Baskara does like to use that way to subtly reject a girl.
"Don't run!" prevent Reno. The young man blocked Baskara's other arm. "This girl is waiting for anjir" he continued, half whispering.
But Baskara has decided to spend the night with what kind of activities. So, Reno's hand on his arm he threw a slow blow. Then, he lowered his head, brought his lips closer to Reno's ear and whispered. "All of you have Fabian, make you too. It's good, you can play four."
Then Baskara straightened his back, and immediately pulled Fabian away just before Reno's booming voice filled the entire Mega.
