Chapter 8 - Hidden Relationship

It was the umpteenth time Janu had invited Kalila to go to a clubbing place so that Kalila became accustomed to such a place. It was awkward at first, but as the day went on, Kalila seemed to enjoy it. She also seemed to enjoy the dance floor with Janu and other friends.

Even though Kalila hasn't touched the drink yet, Janu looks like break his promise to take care of Kalila. Janu looks unconscious due to drinking too much alcohol. Instead, Kalila took care of Janu and took him back home accompanied by Reva and Doni.

Kalila wrapped her arms around Janu's body and laid him on the bed. She took off Janu's shoes and covered Janu's unconscious body with blanket.

"Lila, don't go." Immediately Janu grabbed Kalila's hand but hs eyes were still closed. Janu opened his eyes slowly and quickly sat up. He seemed to reach for Kalila's body in a drunken state.

"I can't, Mas Janu. I have to go back. My parents will be angry." Kalila said with her body already sitting on Janu's lap.

Janu didn't respond to Kalila's words and instantly smacked Kalila's lips. Kalila widened her eyes in surprise and her heart skipped a beat. This is the first time a man has kissed her.

Instantly Kalila's body trembled and was afraid that she would act stupidly if she responded to Janu's kiss. Moreover, at that time Janu was unconsciously touching Kalila due to the several alcoholic drinks he had been drinking.

"Mas, don't be like this. You're still drunk. I want to go home." Said Kalila who managed to break Janu's kiss.

Janu looks frustrated, but Kalila immediately lays down Janu's body again. She also rushed out of Janu's room and left a message to the assistant who was at Janu's house to take care of him if something unexpected happened later.

Tap!

Kalila closed the door of Doni's car, which had been waiting for her with Reva all along. Yes, Doni and Reva waited for Kalila to take her back home.

Kalila immediately panicked when she glanced at her watch which was already showing ten o'clock at night. Unknowingly she bit her thumb to calm herself from the worry.

"Lila, what are you doing? Why are you nervous?" Asked Reva who turned to the back seat and found Kalila with such a panicked expression.

"I'm afraid that Mas Adam will be angry with me for coming home late." Kalila said

"Still ten o'clock. Just relax." Reva replied in a very calm tone

"Wait… Adam?" Doni asked who immediately frowned and tried to confirm to Kalila "Adam Mahendra?" Doni asked as he turned his face to the back seat.

"Yes." Kalila answered briefly.

"What? Janu is dating Adam's sister?" Reva asked wide-eyed surprised at Kalila

"W-why? You guys are also enemies with my brother?"

"N-no. But, all of our generations already know very well what the relationship between Janu and Adam is." Doni continued while scratching his head

"Then, Janu knows you are his sister?"

"Yes, he knows." Kalila answered cutting Doni's question. Doni and Reva glanced at each other in amazement. As if still can't believe this weird thing. Something that shouldn't be possible, but reality says otherwise.

Kalila entered her house quietly and walked slowly like a thief. All the lights seemed to have been turned off and she did her best not to make a sound so her parents and Adam wouldn't wake up and interrogate her.

Kalila breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, none of her family woke up when she returned home. Kalila rushed to turn on the light in her room.

Tech!

"Where have you been at night? What time is it, Lila?" Adam asked who was suddenly in Kalila's room and standing in front of her.

"Oh God! Mas Adam!!" Kalila said in surprise as she rubbed her chest. "Can you not come into my room? It's really scary!" Said Kalila annoyed

"Answer my question, Lil!"

Kalila snorted harshly and rolled her eyes "Sorry, Mas Adam. I was going out with my friends."

Adam approached Kalila "Your clothes smell like alcohol. You must be going out with Janu, right? Don't lie!"

"What the hell?! I told you I was going out with friends."

"You think I don't know Janu's nightlife habits?" Adam said by raising his left eyebrow and looking at Kalila sarcastically.

"Lila… Lila… You might be able to lie to Dad for not having any more contact with Janu. But you can't lie to me, Lila."

Kalila sighed "Yes, I was going out with Mas Janu. But, I don't drink, I swear." Kalila was finally honest with Adam because she had been caught red-handed by Adam, who really couldn't be fooled.

"Don't think you've graduated so you can live as you wish without rules, Lil. Remember, you still have a long way to go. Not to mention your education to become a judge later." Adam said

"If anything happens to you, I will never help and will not consider you to be my sister again." Janu said and immediately slammed the door to Kalila's room roughly.
