I open the door and looking at a woman with her hand tied to her back. Hanks kneed her, then opened her blindfold. "Let me go!" She keeps struggling to let go from Hanks' grip.
I cleared my throat. She stops and looked at me. Her face was pale, widened her eyes, and her jaw dropped. "Y-you!" Yes, me. Your nightmare.
I pulled a chair, then sits in front of her. "Yes, I'm your husband's boss, and that red-haired bitch's wife. How's your trip?" She tries to not make an eye contact with me. I will tell you why I kidnap this bitch, but I need an answer from her.
"I-I don't…" I don't like her negative sentence. She keeps begging me to not killed her, but the fact is. I don't want to kill her. I just want to have a talk with her.
I don't share memories with Lobak, but she keeps notify me what happened whenever we switched.
"I have… two offers for you." She nodding her head. "Offer number one is you should apologize to her, don't tell to her if I blackmail you, and… never show up in her life. Offer number two is you can walk away with your story, but I'll make sure you become the one who blamed."
She was stunned for a while. "Y-you are not going to…" I shook my head. I'm a human. Even I fantasy about knife, gun, and bazooka. I can help myself with not doing that.
"You bullied her again. I'm no hesitate to pull the trigger."
She nodding her head, then Hanks put back her blindfold and dragged her outside. Huh, what a waste! I walked to this wide window to look at the scenery. I took a deep breath and close my eyes.
Her attitude towards my girlfriend was sickening! She lived like that for years? What Rose doing wrong? It is wrong if she is still alive and healthy? I took a deep breath and exhale. Rose doesn't deserve to be treated this way!
None of people deserved that. None.
Flashback on
Rose was already back to working with me. I also asked Sarah and her boyfriend to have dinner with us. "She said you have… a vacancy job there?" I glancing at him. His name was Roy Yunadi, or I called him Dr. Chicken's Skin. He took a dermatologist and besides, he likes treatment himself with expensive skin care.
He told me openly that his favourite product was La Prairie from Switzerland. I surfed the internet for that brand and they got number one luxurious skincare in the world. I'm not trying to market them, besides they won't sponsor me, or make me their brand ambassador.
"Lobak? Are you okay?" Roy stared at me.
"I just… thinking about job right now, sorry. Next time, it won't happen again." I said. Sarah sits next to him and put her order in front of my tray. Rose rubbed my hand with her thumb.
"She's having difficulties on legal issue, Dr. Roy." God this situation was awkward. Roy nodding his head while chewing french fries. "she…" Roy accidentally nudges a glass of ice tea as he tried to pick a bowl of gravy.
"I-I'm sorry." Roy passed a box of tissue, and I helping her to dry the wet spot on her dress. All eyes on us now. Shit, I can empty this tissue box fast.
"I want to go to the bathroom." She walked with Sarah to the bathroom. Oh God, shit. I closed my eyes and keep lowering my head. What's wrong with it? It's just spilled tea.
"I'm sorry, Lobak. I don't…"
"It's fine, Roy! I just… want them stopped look at us!" I said as I lowered my tone. Roy leaving his seat to searching for the cleaner. Now, what!? I took a deep breath and glancing at my left and right. Shit. This is the worst…
*Prangg!
I searched for the sound came from and I found there. No, I rashly approaching her, and dragged her by my side. We're leaving Sarah and Roy.
"Are you okay?" I looked at my back. She lowered her head and tears fall from her eyes. I pulled her closer and embracing her. No one can hurt you. I promise no one can hurt you.
Flashback off
I closed the door slowly and looks at surrounding, does she already sleep? "Lobak?" Lamp suddenly on. "You already home?"
I turned my back and looked at her. There she is. Wearing a pink cardigan and her pajamas. She's not a red-haired bitch, but she is a dark brown-haired witch. She can cast a love spell by just looking at through her eyes. "You haven't slept yet?" This is what I miss for.
I'm missing someone who welcomed and say goodbye every day with an embrace or kiss. "I can't sleep." She said. "Have you had dinner? I can heat leftovers…"
"It's fine, babe." My heart racing fast, and I can feel my face getting warmer. "I… can heat it by myself. You should take a rest." I stroked her hair. Our eyes meet. She is one centimeter taller than me, but still I should lift my head to looking at her face.
"Why you go home late? Is that bad?" she asked.
I'm nodding my head and kissed her forehead. I won't say a bad thing happened around me towards her, but I should try to be more honest. The only problem with me is transparency, trust, and honesty. "Everything will be on track"
She stared into my eyes. "She came here and… apologize. Is that…" I shook my head.
I let go of her embrace and loosen my tie. "Let me…" I unbuttoned my vest as she loosen my tie. "Um… do you like tea or coffee?"
"Wrong answer." Rose furrowed her brow. I put my shoes on the shelf and walked to pick my briefcase. "If you got the question right—"
"It's coffee, isn't it?" You've got me. I'm approaching her and kissed her forehead.
"Just remember this. I like my coffee is black, on black tea cup, and please don't put sugar too much. One scoop coffee…"
"Okay, okay! I get it." She walked to the kitchen and boiling a pot of water for me. How lucky am I, right?
