You're My Antidote
When Power Acts

The king stepped into the place he used to visit when his mood was bad like this.

The deafening sound of music immediately greeted him. The confusion of the atmosphere in there did not eliminate the loneliness in the King's heart that always felt empty. Uninhabited empty.

His feet stepped on the second floor, where he and his friends used to order. Adit was seen sitting on a mobile phone with a liquor bottle.

"Wei bro. came at last." cried Adit excited as soon as he saw it. His best friend was always excited. Very inversely related to himself.

"Why the face? Very scuffed." Adit said when the King did not answer his greeting by directly sitting and drinking in his friend's glass to the toilet.

"Rere's not here yet?" ask the King. Ask their friends who have not yet arrived.

"So he said he hadn't finished the meeting. So come a little night." Adit's style of speech is more relaxed than the King who is still stiff since he first set foot in Jakarta. "So you're here to have fun with me too or to have **** with Rere?"

The king only raised one corner of his lips. He and Renata who they call Rere more often are indeed friends with benefits. They are friends with physical intimacy and s*sual without any formal ties or commitments. The king even forbade Rere to put his heart on him. Because up to any time, Rere would never get what the girl wanted.

Their relationship is only to meet each other's biological needs. The king will come whenever Rere needs, and vice versa.

It all started a year ago when Rere had just broken up and the King accompanied Rere to vent his heartache with alcohol and ended up waking up in a hotel room with a state of nudity.

From then on, Rere volunteered to be the King's bedmate.

At first the king refused. They have been friends for quite a while. It was strange to sleep with a friend.

But Rere convinced him with all the talk of infectious diseases that the King could suffer with his habit of changing women.

Although the woman who slept with the King did not come from comfort women. But the women who are crazy about the man and ready to throw themselves at any time on the King's bed.

For this the King agreed. On one condition, Rere was not in a relationship with anyone. Because the King does not want to be considered as a bully.

And either Rere who really wants to explore his FWB or indeed there is no man who interests the woman, until their relationship has continued for that long.

"Papa told me to get married."

Adit nodded. It seems not surprising with the news he brought. The news that has made him angry since.

Naturally Adit is not surprised, because at their mature age, parents do want them to build a household.

Adit has even done dozens of blind dates that his parents arranged. But unfortunately none of the women of his parents' choice can attract his best friend.

"Ajakin aja Rere married. He would want to marry you. Than just lo tunggangin when you need it." said Adit with a sip of his drink.

Sharp glances the King gives. "Me and Rere have nothing to do. Besides, you've already given me the woman I'm supposed to marry in three weeks."

The king cursed when Adit spouted a drink in the mouth that partially hit his shirt.

"I-I mean you're in soul mate? and you take it so?"

Unfortunately Adit just clapped his hands to see he nodded. It may not be possible for a King who is very anti-committal to be easily forced to marry an unwanted woman.

But what could the King do if his papa had already used his power to force him and Rani to accept everything the man arranged.

"Keren bokap lo. Can make a king finally want to let go of the long term." Adit laughed satisfied. Laughing at the fate of the King. "Who? Who's the unlucky girl who should be your wife?"

The king hit Adit on the back of the head who mocked him. "She should feel lucky to marry me!"

"OKAY. Okay.. So who's the lucky girl?" Adit rubbed the head that he had just hit still with laughter.

"Rani." The short answer from her made Adit stand up instantly with clenched hands. As if ready to hit it.

"I don't want to!" the King's servant before his friend judges him. "Papa forced us both."

Adit sat down in a doldrums. Raja knows his best friend already has a taste for Rani when the two first meet.

When Rani met him when the brawl. For Adit, Rani looks very cool dare to come to the middle of the battlefield. From that time on, Adit often told the King that Rani would be his wife someday.

Adit is brave when it comes to fighting. But the problem of love, until now even the man has not dared to express his feelings that have grown for many years.

"Sorry Dit. I can't do anything about this one." The king patted his best friend's shoulder slowly.

Adit nodded, either understanding or resigned to everything the man heard.

Both of them looked when the door opened. Rere's pretty face with a charming smile immediately fell.

"Sorry's late."

Only Rere will sit down, Adit is already standing and wearing his jacket. "Gue pull it out."

"Lho.. I just came. We have fun first.."

As if not hearing what Rere said, Adit just passed by. Not even looking at him at all.

Although the King had never been in a relationship with a woman. But little did the King know how disappointed Adit was at the moment.

"Why is it, Ja?"

The king gave only a smile. There was no intention to tell Rere about his marriage. I don't know what the king should do with this woman next to him.

Rere told me his daily life as usual. But none entered the hearing of the King.

He was still thinking about Adit. Is Adit angry with him?

"Kingaa.. Do you not understand me?" Rere whining pissed.

"Sorry.. I'm thinking a lot."

Rere let out a rough breath. "Lo same Adit again on why the hell? so it's not gini."

The king remained silent and did not answer.

"If so, how do we move?" Rere had put an arm around his neck. The king knows what place Rere is referring to. If not the apartment, the apartment is Rere.

Rere was already going to stick their lips together when the phone in King's pocket rang.

The king kept the woman's body away from him. His forehead frowned when the name Om Rafi was listed there. Because his omnya will only contact him when there is something important.

"Halo-" has not finished his greeting, Om Rafi has interrupted.

"Where is the King? Mama's in the hospital."

Not waiting for long, the King immediately snatched his car keys. Leaving Rere calling his name.
