Preview: How many girlfriends do I have, Jani?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Can you give me some time?" Jani made an offer.
"How long?"
"I don't know, I just need more times." Jani looked into Arga's eyes seriously.
"Okay, I'll give you some time but..." Arga hung a sentence that made Jani frown.
"But what?" Jani can't wait.
Arga seemed to take a slow breath and smiled warmly. "I don't promise I'll stop looking for you even if you reject me later, so just get ready." Arga stood with a smirk.
Jani is confused by Arga's attitude. She felt uncomfortable with Arga's last sentence. It was the man's intention that made Jani gape. She knew very well that Arga wasn't kidding. Even though she will stay with Dana later, Arga doesn't want to let her go. What about this? Jani felt goosebumps for a moment. Arga is now more like a psychopath. She was anxious and uneasy, afraid that Arga might act unexpectedly.
"What's wrong with you?" Arga seems to have caught Jani's uncomfortable gestures.
"It's okay, can we get out of here?" Jani started breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Why?" Arga asked flatly.
"I wanna go home." Jani lowered her head to hide her nervousness.
"Okay, let me take you home." Arga walked ahead of Jani who was still sitting with her stupid expression.
Not feeling Jani walking behind him, Arga stopped his steps and looked back. "Should I carry you?"
"Eh? You don't have to, I can do it myself." Jani hastily stood up and half ran after Arga.
They both sped towards Jani's boarding house.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the car they were traveling in. Jani was still silent thinking about the thousands of blasphemy she had made for her stupid thoughts earlier. Jani reads too many fiction novels with extreme stories according to her. Was forced to sleep by superiors then married. It doesn't stop there, she will often be hurt because of her husband's attitude and oh don't forget the third person too!
"Are you dizzy? Let's eat first, okay?" Arga asked worriedly.
"Eh?"
"Why are you dreaming? Shaking your head with your hands too?" Arga pulled over the car and stopped.
The street they were walking on seemed deserted.
"Hey?" Arga leaned in to see Jani's face more clearly.
"What do you want to do?" Arga seemed surprised by Jani's spontaneous reaction, who stepped back and covered her chest.
Arga gaped in disbelief.
"Wait! Did you ever think that I would hurt you?" Arga asked not believing Jani's thoughts.
"Erm that… that… that…" Jani stuttered in response.
"You think I'm that bad?" Arga pulled his body and leaned his head on the driver's seat then chuckled amused.
"Why are you laughing?" Jani pursed her lips.
"I swear! You're really cute, it's only right that your boyfriend is so overprotective." Arga laughed louder.
"You're really scary after all!" Jani was annoyed with Arga's reaction, which seemed to mock her.
"Hahahaha wait a minute." Arga then stopped laughing, looked up and leaned his head towards Jani again and this time Jani kept quiet while showing her annoyed face.
"You think I'm a guy who can do that with someone I haven't tied up with even if it's just a fiancé?" Arga looked at Jani seriously.
"Emm… that… that…" Jani was suddenly nervous.
"Get rid of all your dirty thoughts, I'm not a jerk who lustfully sleep with innocent girl like you." Arga smirked.
"I'm not innocent!" Jani is in a hurry.
"Hmm?" Arga tilted his head while frowning.
"I mean, I'm not a junior high school girl who doesn't know anything and in theory I understand, just… it's just…" Jani didn't dare look Arga in the eye.
"Just what? You don't understand the practice?" Arga pulled back the corners of his lips as if mocking Jani.
"I understand!" when she realized what she said, Jani immediately covered her lips with the palm of her hand.
"Okay, we'll see honey!" Arga smiled triumphantly.
Jani cursed her stupidity today. They don't know why Jani looks so much like a junior high school girl!

Jani closed her boarding house's door and stepped into her room. However, her steps stopped when she passed the living room of her boarding house. She immediately showed a lazy expression to see the man who was staring at his cellphone before realizing Jani was coming.
"Where are you from?" said the man sitting in the living room chair.
"I went to somewhere with Arga." Jani then continued her steps towards her boarding room without looking back.
Dana hastily stood up from his seat and chased after Jani who was already in front of her boarding room. "Arga?" Dana repeated the name.
After successfully opening the door to her boarding room, Jani stopped right at the entrance and turned to look at Dana. "Yes Arga, the boss in the office and I don't think we have an appointment tonight so please go home." Jani was about to close the door but Dana was prevented from doing so.
"Wait a minute!" Dana managed to enter Jani's boarding room and closed the door.
"Just open it! For fear of being slandered," Jani said with eyes still staring at Dana lazily.
"What's wrong with you?" Dana grabbed Jani's wrist.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired, I want to sleep." Jani let go of Dana's hand then walked over to put her bag and went to the bathroom.
Dana stared at Jani without blinking until she disappeared behind the bathroom door. Dana sighed. He had a bad feeling about this. Dana decided to sit on the rug beside Jani's bed. The man opened his messaging application. There was an incoming notification from Reyna which made his smile rise. Reyna was still as attentive as ever. After replying that he wasn't working late, Dana decided to play a game while he waited for Jani to finish bathing.
In the bathroom, Jani cursed herself for forgetting to bring towels and a change clothes. Her work clothes had been put in the washing machine and now she was prestige if she had to ask Dana to help her get her clothes and towels. After considering Jani finally gave up, she opened the bathroom door slightly and poked her head out.
"Erm!" Jani managed to make Dana shift his gaze which was originally on his cellphone to the girl who was still in the bathroom.
"Are you done?" Dana asked after shoving the phone into his trouser pocket.
"That… I want to ask for help getting towels in front of the boarding room with clothes in the closet, can you?" Jani looked at Dana doubtfully.
Dana smiled and then stood up and nodded. After taking a towel outside the boarding room, Dana opened Jani's closet to get clothes for the girl to change. His smile was perfect when he saw all the clothes in the closet neatly arranged.
"Here." Dana handed Jani the clothes and towels.
"Thank you, Dan." Jani was embarrassed because Dana was holding her underwear.
"Big size." Dana smiled meaningfully.
"You pervert!" Jani slammed the bathroom door which suddenly made Dana chuckle in satisfaction because he managed to make Jani blush with embarrassment.

"Why are you here, Dan?" Jani started the conversation after she sat across from Dana.
"Looking for my girlfriend." Dana smiled warmly.
Jani hated times like this, because her faith was always weak when Dana was being gentle like he is now. "Which girlfriend?" Jani tries to look normal and doesn't forget to smile.
"How many girlfriends do I have, Jani?" Dana stopped his smile because he didn't like Jani's question.
"I don't know, Dan. Maybe there are other than me?" Jani is fishing for Dana.
"It's not funny Jani, you know my girlfriend is only you," Dana replied calmly.
"Yeah, maybe there's something else." Jani smiled again. "Like who you kissed in the car when you were in the basement of the apartment, maybe?" Jani stopped smiling for a moment.
