"Is there anything you want to eat? I can tell Mamat to come here." Bastian didn't answer Liora' question.
He didn't like it when he was with Liora, but his hidden lover asked him about his wife implicitly.
Liora realized the question was wrong, but it was on purpose.
"I feel bad, it's the middle of the night. Yesterday you just came back from the hospital, he said Arsa had been treated. But now you are here instead." She said, still wanted to add oil to the fire.
"You'd rather I stay at home than accompany you here?"
Liora was confused, he should have answered 'yes', but he wanted Bastian by his side. She didn't want when the film crew and others saw her in her current state that they would think about replacing her with someone else, she wanted to keep her role as the main character of the film.
If Bastian was here, he would also only allow a few people to visit her. The rest is not allowed, with Bastian's hands she can do what she couldn't do as a junior artist.
"You want me here, that's for sure." Bastian said answering her own question.
Liora smiled shyly, she really wanted Bastian here.
"I am allowed to go home tomorrow." She said to Bastian.
"Okay, then we'll move to a house outside the city, so you can also rest. Lately, I've seen that you often receive contracts up to full time all day and make me wait a long time to meet you." Complained furiously to his girlfriend.
Liora chuckled, she was indeed pushing herself further to be at the top and showing those who used to belittle and despise her know that they had dumped the wrong person.
"I want a banana, take it..." She asked in a spoiled voice towards Bastian who chuckled because of it.
"How much?"
"Just one."
"Mine, you want?" asked Bastian suddenly.
This made the atmosphere freeze, the two of them stared at each other silently before Laras became embarrassed and covered his face with his hand that was not infused.
"Why do you talk like that!!!" Liora shouted making Bastian burst out laughing.
If Sarah saw this, she might immediately lunge to slap Bastian who was so mean to her. Even to smile and laugh together is quite difficult, not even going home once a month. It was so painful to look at, it pierced the chest until it felt like it was going to burst.
....
The next morning, Liora' inpatient room had a handsome guest. He has an aura that is so majestic and luxurious, his sharp flow is wrinkled, his beautiful eyes are looking down at Laras who immediately feels intimidated and asks Bastian for help by squeezing his hand which is near the bed, then his eyes turn to Bastian who seems to be naked.
He is his best friend, a close friend as well as a friend who was always there when he wasn't the big man he is today. His figure has always received special pride and honor in Bastian's heart, he still didn't expect him to know if he was here. Has anyone else told it?
Until the figure of Anne came in with a scared and uncomfortable face, she didn't expect when she came to the shooting location to pick up some things she had left behind she met a friend from their CEO who didn't know anything about Liora and Bastian's relationship, she came to the shooting location to look for it. Liora by going to him directly.
In fact, he did hear rumors that Laras had a relationship with his best friend Bastian. He just wanted to directly confirm with Liora before asking Bastian. Because if he asked Bastian first, the man would protect his hidden lover instead of telling the truth in front of him.
She is Petra Devi Mahendra, a young entrepreneur who followed in his father's footsteps by entering the business world, a textile company also has a big share in the best international fabrics. With his knowledge of the finest fabrics and materials, his name became big with Mahendra's name behind him.
"I thought it was just a rumor, so this is how you behave behind your wife's back?" Petra's voice was like a statement.
Anne behind him rubbed her two hands looking at Liora who looked annoyed, she silently said.
'I'm sorry, he forced me to come and threaten that I can't work anymore!!'
Of course Anne is more in love with her job, she didn't mean to betray Liora. She is realistic and knows that Petra is as powerful as Bastian and won't be able to help her if she gets into trouble with nobody but the manager of his hidden lover.
"Petra, it's not like what you see." Bastian dodged even though the evidence was evident in front of his eyes.
He was quite surprised that Petra used standard language on him, not usually but he realized that the formal language that came out of his mouth was terrible when Petra was in a bad mood and she was angry.
"You should know how we used to make an agreement, but it turns out you made a mistake so don't blame me if you start to approach and harass!" He said with a warning that was immediately understood by Bastian.
His eyes bulged, he could not accept if Petra came into his life to disturb the household he had.
"Not really!! You can't take anyone from my side, remember that our agreement is Petra's absolute thing!!" Bastian made a high pitched voice that shocked Anne and Liora.
There was something they were hiding and only belonged to the two of them, Liora saw how his lover lost his temper in facing Petra who was not even bothered by her anger. He kept his cool with a relaxed cassock and long trousers that wrapped it together with the latest sandals from a famous brand that there are only 10 in the world.
Liora felt uncomfortable, she seemed to feel that after this she might find it difficult to get Bastian's attention. She had to know what the problem was between the two, if she wanted to dive into the two of them to become a stumbling block.
Petra tilted his head handsomely and gracefully, he was a burly man, muscles in almost all parts of his body were formed beautifully even his home shirt couldn't cover it. The beautiful muscle bulge with his proportioned body shape aroused the eyes of anyone who saw it, he smirked to look at Liora who was pale as if starting to realize the situation would no longer be safe.
"You have realized before being explained by your own lover, that's good." He said with a charming smile.
