191 Fuck What Happened

Again and again Dariel saw Arthur’s chaotic state. The eyes of the man with jet-black hair looked empty, as if half of his life was gone. It was not alcohol that accompanied Arthur now,

but it was the umpteenth time the man had drunk coffee and smoked. Dariel was confused, had not his best friend found Kalea’s location? It was not that long ago that Arthur was so happy to know.

Ah, but if you look at Arthur’s condition like this, Dariel is starting to understand the results.

“Lea doesn’t want to see you?” Dariel asked to the point as he sat down in front of Arthur. Taking a cigarette, he lit it and took a drag. However, Arthur did not respond. He put out the remaining cigarette and reached for his cup of coffee. Dariel sighed heavily. Really, even seeing Arthur like this made him crazy. “Stop drinking coffee you’ve had too much,” Dariel forbade as he grabbed the glass Arthur was trying to reach.

Arthur did not protest at all, keeping his head down. Today’s events really shook him, he did not even understand himself.

“Dude, tell me what happened. Did you really meet Lea or not?” Dariel asked again patiently.

“Yes. I met her,” Arthur replied casually. “Only briefly. She kicked me out.”

“Why?”

“She got sick of me. I don’t know the reason for her sudden departure yet, she won’t explain. Saying that she’s just an obstacle in my life because I still want to play freely with many women.”

.....

“Isn’t that true?”

“But-... that was back then. I know I was wrong, but I want to right that wrong. Do I no longer have a chance?” asked Arthur, now looking up at his best friend. His gaze was so hurt, it was even worse than Dariel who was by Arthur’s side when Arthur broke his heart from Aurora.

“It’s not me who decides, it’s Lea. If you really love her then prove it sincerely. It must be hard to get Lea to believe when she knows so well how you’ve been behaving. You were wrong, and so was she. Wrong for getting carried away in this contractual relationship. But we also don’t know who the feelings are anchored to, ” Dariel said starting to talk at length advising his best friend. “But you were wrong for playing with her feelings when she told you that she really loves you.”

Arthur flinched, taking in Dariel’s words one by one. He confirmed it in his mind. He had played with too many women, thinking he could do anything without sincere feelings involved. Treating women so well and sometimes even overdoing it that they end up having feelings for him.

“Now what are you going to do?”

“Bring her back here,” Arthur replied quickly. His hands slowly clenched into fists, remembering what he had seen today made him feel all over the place. Heartache, disappointment, sadness, jealousy, all mixed together. “There was another man beside her.”

Dariel raised one eyebrow, moving the cigarette to get rid of the smoke. “Who?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know, you bastard! He’s too close to Lea, even pretending to be a hero,” Arthur snorted in annoyance.

“He’s handsome?”

“I’m still much better looking.”

“Don’t joke.”

“You think I’m joking?” Arthur retorted, his eyes glaring at Dariel. He was in full lion mode, not to be disturbed in the slightest. “But he looks younger.”

“Ah, so now your rival is the village man, huh. He’s handsome, and younger. Doesn’t it match Lea?” For some reason, Dariel was making Arthur more and more annoyed and anxious.

The look on Arthur’s face was getting sour, he really hated Dariel’s words because he honestly thought so a little.

“What is their relationship?” Dariel asked again.

“I don’t know, asshole! I’ve only been there once and got kicked out straight away!” grumbled Arthur, no longer able to contain his anger. Arthur got up from his seat, rubbed his face and sighed heavily. “I can’t go on like this.”

Dariel watched as Arthur picked up his cell phone and dialed someone.

“Juan, for tomorrow and for the foreseeable future, please represent me in managing the company. I have some business.”

[What? Why all of a sudden-]

Arthur immediately ended the call.

Dariel was so dumbfounded, the cigarette on his lips fell out. “Hey, what are you talking about? Where are you going?” Dariel asked.

“You know where I’m going,” Arthur replied and then left for the room. Dariel felt bad, he followed his best friend.

Arthur was busy picking up his suitcase and stuffing some of his clothes into the box.

“Are you going on vacation?”

“I’m too lazy to answer stupid questions,” Arthur snorted and kept busy with his gear. He did seem to want to get away from the penthouse he had bought Kalea. He slept there more often now, even though his heart ached and longed for the brunette.

Foolishly, love comes late. Arthur realized too late that he too loved his sugay baby.

It does not matter that Kalea is probably very sick of him and does not want to see him again, but Arthur was sure there was still a little bit of love from the girl for him. Plus Arthur still does not know what made Kalea decide to leave with such deep feelings of hatred.

***

As usual, Kalea’s life in the village was peaceful. In the morning, it started with breakfast with Kai and Ilene. Now, she often made lunch for Kai to encourage him to work. Though Kai had forbidden it because he did not want to make Kalea tired, but Kalea’s stubbornness was much more donating. Finally, Kai has no other choice as long as Kalea does not push herself too hard.

And after the cooking activity, Kalea worked at the tavern. She still remembered clearly what Kai asked her to stop working at the tavern immediately because her stomach was getting bigger and she had to rest more. It looks like today she will tell the tavern owner first before actually stopping working.

“Huh? You want to quit here? What’s wrong? You haven’t been working for long,” Robby asked, looking surprised.

“I’m so sorry, Manager. For some reason, it’s with a heavy decision that I resign,” Kalea said really badly. It was true that she was still working relatively short, even though she wanted to work there. However, what else could it be, what Kai said was also true. It was indeed Kalea’s fault for pushing herself too hard.

“Hmm, alright. I can’t force you, Lea. Just keep coming here,” Robby said with a big smile. He also patted Kalea’s shoulder lightly.

“Of course, Manager. Once again, I apologize and thank you very much.”

“Hey, never mind. It’s okay! Well, although it’s a little sad that your cooking really fits in here and is so good.”

“Can I stop working this Sunday? I can still work until Sunday,” Kalea asked with a faint, hopeful smile.

“Of course! That’s better, I won’t have a heart attack if you tell me suddenly,” Robby replied happily, his smile growing wider.

Honestly, Kalea already thinks of Robby as a father figure to her. He took care of her, told her what was wrong, and appreciated every time she or another employee did something good. That’s why Kalea was so sad that she would not be working at the tavern anymore.

That day, Kalea actually intended to keep herself busy so that the image of yesterday’s events would disappear from her brain. She did not want to think about Arthur; he should not have been looking for her. Had not she just been a nuisance and a hindrance to him all this time? So why come to see her all of a sudden? Was Arthur not satisfied with playing her?!

It was finally time for Kalea to go home. After saying goodbye to Robby and the other waitress, she met Kai who was waiting for her as usual. And for some reason the way back from the tavern to the house felt long, the topic of their conversation was getting thinner until it caused a long silence between them.

“By the way, Lea. I bought you something this afternoon. I hope you like it,” Kai started to open the topic again.

Kalea frowned, confused. “What is it?”

Kai chuckled amusedly at Kalea’s curious look. He stroked the girl’s brunette hair gently and lovingly. “You can see it later at home. Just be patient a little longer.”

Not long after that, they finally arrived. Kai opened the gate for Kalea, it was completely unlocked except at night.

“Tonight, let me cook dinner,” Kai said, which Kalea immediately protested.

“Isn’t this my schedule?”

“Lea, you’re getting tired. Get plenty of rest, okay?” Kai tried to persuade the girl who was younger than him. A sweet smile graced his handsome face. Hoping Kalea would melt even just a little.

“Alright, but-”

“Lea!”

Kalea’s nether-eyes were perfectly rounded, her lips stopping after hearing the voice she had heard yesterday.

She was coming again.

“Wha- why did you come here again?!” Kalea screeched in annoyance. Her surprise was compounded when she saw Arthur carrying a large suitcase. What did this jerk want to do?!

Just as Kalea was so shocked, Kai’s forehead frowned strangely at Arthur’s appearance from top to bottom.

Arthur stuffed his hands in his pants pockets, his footsteps getting closer to Kalea until he was right in front of the girl. The sweet smile that Kalea used to see often, now she saw it again even sweeter.

“Starting today, I will live in this village with you.”
