Chapter 7 - Painful Facts

How could she know the story if she didn't include the scene in the plot! No need to wait any longer, Tiffany immediately checked the room. It starts where the seconds Ara separates from her...

On the other side...

Ara is still unconscious, this time according to Gio... Ara is really drunk. Ara doesn't usually drink large amounts of beer because Ara herself knows her alcohol limits, she knows that very well.

"I'm... regret to meet you!." Ara shouted very loudly.

Whether it's Gio or Juna who was shocked by what the girl said, who did she regret meeting? And why?

"Ra... what are you doing?." asked Gio while trying to hold Ara's face to face him.

"GIOOOOO!!!." Ara immediately hysterically hugged Gio, and the girl immediately cried hysterically.

Ara cried while talking so that no one could understand what Ara was saying.

"Oh my God! Tiffany took so long!." Gio was getting annoyed waiting for Tiffany, it had been more than 2 hours since the girl had disappeared.

"JUNA! HELP! THIS IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND! WHY DO YOU ACT LIKE YOU DON'T CARE!."

Now Juna is the target of Gio's screams. Juna just rolled his eyes, he didn't want to serve Gio in a situation like this.

"I'm sure, more than you feel Gio, my worry is more than you worry about Ara!." Juna answered in his heart.

Tiffany was silent to see what was on her monitor screen at this time. It displays what was happening to Ara a few minutes before Ara got drunk.

"Ara herself did it?." Tiffany really couldn't think what was the reason the girl was deliberately drunk at this party, even though before that Ara was so excited.

"Eh wait, just now Ara was busy with Juna's handphone, right? That means..." Tiffany rushed to her feet and out of the room.

She ran back to the party room. Arriving there, Tiffany was surprised by Ara who was crying hysterically in Gio's arms.

"Emm..." She said slowly approaching Ara and Gio.

"So, how is it?." said Gio who was aware of the presence of Tiffany.

"The answer is in Juna's cellphone."

Tiffany pointed at Juna, while the man was confused why it was because of him.

"There must be something on your handphone, Juna. Ara by herself asked the waiter for this alcoholic drink, as you said before Ara would know the smell of alcohol, if she knew and didn't intend to drink it, Ara would refuse." continued Tiffany.

"Tiff, can I take Ara to your room first? It's because your room is closest to here."

"Yes, I can, Gio. The key to my room... your date of birth."

Gio froze for a moment, did Tiffany like this to him?

"O-oh okay." he said who then immediately carried Ara and went to Tiffany's room.

Juna approached Tiffany, his eyes turned sharp towards the girl, he didn't accept being said to be Ara's reason for getting drunk, even though as he knew before... he and Ara were fine.

"There's no need to look at me like that, I don't have the slightest fear of you!." said Tiffany by returning Juna's sharp gaze.

"It's better if you talk to see the real situation, why are you lying? I'm sure you didn't find the real reason and instead blamed me so Gio wouldn't be disappointed in you!." Juna replied which made Tiffany chuckle.

"Check your handphone, like what I saw before, Ara looked at your handphone for quite a long time, and after that, she called one of my waiters and it seemed that she immediately ordered alcohol at that time because it didn't take long after that the waitress came back to her and repeatedly -repeatedly brought Ara a drink when Ara called her."

"What's wrong with my handphone?!."

"Don't ask me, ask yourself! Check it yourself!." said Tiffany who then left Juna and followed Gio.

Juna was silent for a moment, he tried to think about what Tiffany had said to him. Honestly, he couldn't believe that he was the cause of Ara's drunkenness, what's wrong with her handphone? He didn't understand. Juna also checked his handphone, to find the truth behind Tiffany's accusations against him.

And then, Juna's whole body suddenly felt weak. He reads something that might be... this is the reason Ara's tantrum made her drunk.

"Ra... you already know huh?." he asked himself.

On the other side...

Tiffany sat next to Gio who was contemplating while looking at Ara who was sleeping on Tiffany's bed.

"Don't worry too much, Gio. Ara is just drunk, she was also crying... it means that Ara's consciousness will return, this isn't the first time she's drunk, right?."

"Easy for you to say, Tiff. You haven't known Ara as long as I've known her, this is the first time both of them were drunk... the first time she was drunk when she found out her father was cheating on her mom, and this time... I don't know what caused her to be drunk. Incidentally, I remember, as you said earlier, Juna was the cause of Ara's drunkenness. Explain to me, why?" Gio pointed his chair towards Tiffany so he could face her face to face.

Tiffany sighed repeatedly before she explained what happened. She tried to explain from the beginning, where she could tell if Ara was drunk because of Juna, when, and how. Hearing the explanation that Tiffany gave him made Gio furious, his emotions peaked. He didn't expect that the man would make Ara confused like this.

"I don't know what Ara saw there, Gio. Tiffany didn't know either, but for sure... it must have been too painful for Ara, until she was drunk like this."

"DAMN!!." groaned Gio who immediately stood up to approach Juna but was restrained by Tiffany.

"Let go of me!."

"Gio, it's useless now that you beat Juna. We don't know for sure what the problem is. Wait for Ara to wake up first, then we'll decide what to do... including if you still want to beat her, it's okay."

"Ara..." Gio said in a low voice but it sounded in Tiffany's ears even though it was vague.

"Be patience, Gio," said Tiffany, patting Gio's shoulder.

"Tiara, why are you suddenly sending photos and messages like that? Why are you sending photos like that and talking about a baby?" Juna asked in a low voice.

Tiara on the other side of the phone knew that now Juna was calling her while whispering and then laughing, listening to Tiara's laughter, Juna became annoyed.

"Don't laugh Tiara, I mean to ask you!" "It's fine. No need to yell at me like that, Juna. You know what? I was about to send it to you, is it my fault if Ara reads it? I didn't even know your handphone was with her!."

"But, a photo like that and talking about baby, why? Oke, no problem if you just talking about baby, I can tell Ara about her, about your baby! But, your photo. You never sent to me your photo, and why are you sending it to me today."

"I just wanted to ask if a dress like that suits me, it's not that I want to tease you, OH MY GOD!."

"Can you act more reasonably next time, Tiara? Because of this, Ara got drunk. She might be annoyed with me right now. You know, she always misunderstands our friendship, about our relationship, with this she will be misunderstood and could... she asked to break up with me."

"What are you afraid of, Juna? She loves you so much, it's impossible to break up just because I sent me a photo of me in my new swimsuit!."

"Tiara... ah never mind, I'm tired today. I hang up the phone."

"Yes, bye!"

Tutt...

Juna threw his handphone on his bed, he was dizzy. His head hurt so much right now, he was afraid that Ara would lash out at him.

"Ara, sorry..." he said quietly and sat down on the floor.
