Beautiful Monster
Why Begin?

Athira acts like a professional hairdresser. How not? She was really focused on making her brother look more beautiful than usual. Her brother's choice of returning to brown fashion confused her at first. "Aren't you tired of wearing these clothes? I mean brother matches any color because brother's skin is lighter."

What would bore Ignacia if she could keep Rajendra staring at her? Honestly, Ignacia liked her lover's gaze over time. Being in the limelight of someone who has been loved for years is something to be happy about. It was as if her man was not tired of continuing with her until this moment.

Athira could see the radiant face of her brother. Some will go out of town and have lunch with their lover. Athira volunteered to drive her brother to the station in a moment. Her sister was happy to see her brother happy. Ignacia was warned to stay focused on the surroundings even though she already felt safe by her mother.

The middle-aged woman leaned against the door frame, staring at the togetherness of her two children. "Begging Rajendra to pick up at the station later, Ignacia. So you don't get tired of taking public transportation." Ignacia already made an appointment with Rajendra at Dianti's place. He couldn't heed her mother's request just now.

Ignacia looked at herself from top to bottom. She was dressed in a knee-length dress and her hair made a little wavy looking beautiful. Not to forget the thin makeup that adds to the impression of life, his lips look redder and the corners of his eyes sharpen. Though she was just going out on a date, why did Athira and her mother have to look at her for so long?

This girl will be back tonight with Rajendra. There's nothing to worry about. Before leaving, Ignacia said goodbye to her father as well. "I'll go to Dianti's place. I've already made an appointment with him at his place of work." Ignacia will not be completely honest. He was afraid of getting any more questions.

His father observed his two children leaving on a motorcycle. They are reminded to be careful until they return home. Ignacia wears a helmet slowly. He could feel the gaze of his father earlier with a cup of coffee in his hand. His father could have sat in the living room and let the two go.

As soon as she left the house, Ignacia whispered to Athira whether her sister also felt her father's gaze. His sister certainly felt and wanted to tell his brother but his brother had discussed it first. Athira guesses if her father can tell if Ignacia is lying. Maybe his father's premonition was stronger because of what Rafka said back then.

Ignacia felt bad for lying to her own father. He had indeed made an appointment at Dianti's place, but it was not the girl he wanted to visit. His friend's workplace is near a road with easy access. So all of you promote your friend's workplace to her lover.

Before letting her sister go, Athira once again checked her brother's hair. The waves that he gave were not in the upper hair, but if the top was messy, the bottom one would also look chaotic. Ignacia was asked to check her hair again later. To keep her brother looking neat and beautiful before meeting Rajendra.

"I honestly agreed with my mom to have Kak Rajendra pick up my sister at the station. Don't know why I agree. It's also more romantic than waiting at the appointment place." Ignacia nodded her head in understanding. Just see what happens later. "Be careful, brother." Everyone had asked Ignacia to be careful since then.

Like something's gonna happen.

On the train, Ignacia checks her phone for any messages from Rajendra. There's nothing. The girl kept her phone until it was almost to the destination station. His eyes were fixed on the train window. The carriage here was in the middle of a stretch, Ignacia did not feel she had to be careful. There was no one around, so it felt safe.

Ignacia turned on the music as a friend. Beautiful Monster song that might bring magic. Hopefully it doesn't end like the last time Ignacia listened to this song over and over again. It might be best to listen to it once for the magic to remain.

Ignacia checks her phone again, Rajendra does not send a message that she has arrived where they will meet. I want to ask Dianti if her boyfriend has arrived. His friend may be quicker to contact than Rajendra. The man said he had been busy the last three months. It has just finished three months.

The station is very crowded. There are many good things about this station to get somewhere. Therefore Ignacia tightened her arms on the sling bag she used so as not to fall. Hanging out with people is not included in the plan. It's okay, just for a second.

There was no message from Rajendra. The man did not forget that today there was an appointment, right? Ignacia managed to get out of the station. He grabs the phone in the bag and tries to contact Dianti. "Oh hey am I interrupting your work time? I just want to know if Rajendra has gotten there. He didn't call me at all, so I'm a little worried."

Dianti's words calmed Ignacia down. Just now the man he was waiting for was standing in front of the cafe checking if he had come to the right place. Dianti hastily turns off the call so that his friend's lover does not suspect. Ignacia kept her phone with a happy heart. Ah but if this is the case, he'll make Rajendra wait.

The girl called her boyfriend. Ignacia might be late for the cafe, so she wants to tell Rajendra. "Have you reached the cafe? I just got out of the station." Ignacia looked around, looking to see if any taxis would pass. Taxis are easier and faster to get to your destination instead of buses.

"I just got in front of the cafe. You want me to come to you? We can spend some time early." Rajendra sounded impatient to offer himself up. Ignacia refuses, she'll get a taxi soon. "Alright then me-" there was a foreign voice that made Rajendra's speech intercepted.

Ignacia sharpened her hearing, trying to figure out what was going on. Like someone fell near his girlfriend. The voice that appeared so faint, there was a voice that was similar to the voices of women and men without a clear dialogue. Ignacia called out to her lover There was no answer until finally Ignacia managed to get a taxi.

Rajendra could be reached again after two minutes of indistinct noises being heard from the end of the call. "Sorry, there was a little problem. You're already on your way here? I'll wait for you here." Ignacia was getting worried. What noise is there around her boyfriend? Rajendra sounds fine, though,

As soon as Ignacia arrived, she saw Rajendra standing by the side of the road as if waiting for his lover to come. Ignacia immediately ran small towards the man who was not looking at her. It must have been hard for him to find his lover from the large number of people on the sidewalk. Rajendra's body almost staggered backwards if it didn't hold back immediately.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. You should have just waited inside." Slowly Ignacia looked up, staring at her lover. But to be honest he's happy Rajendra is waiting for him here. "You look more handsome now. Are you okay as long as I'm not around?"

His lover chuckled, tightened his arms and held the hand of Ignacia on his waist. Mana Maybe Rajendra's not okay. Rajendra was happy to see Ignacia again. That must be the reason why he looks so handsome. His aura changed because of happiness.

The two entered the cafe together, holding hands like happy lovers in general. Dianti was still in her post when the two entered. Ignacia could not help but smile once she met her friend's eyes. Rajendra still seems unconscious, so he ordered without knowing the eyes of the cashier with his girlfriend.

They went to the third floor as per Ignacia's recommendation. Dianti gave a teasing look at Ignacia before they disappeared on the stairs. It feels good to be here with Rajendra. The third floor is pretty straight. Their lunch will be fun here.

"What happened when the voice call was? Did something happen?" Ignacia kept staring straight at her lover. Although Rajendra had been waiting casually, the strange voice Ignacia heard earlier was still a big question. "It's okay, you can tell me. I heard other people's voices there too."

Rajendra seemed to think of a good answer. "I turned to look at this cafe, then there was someone who was like pulling my bag from behind. When I looked, there was a woman holding onto my bag and fell. He looked so in pain that I called a taxi for him to go to the hospital. I don't know him."

Ignacia's gaze pointed at the backpack her lover was wearing. It must have been the bag Rajendra used to do the bustle today. Ignacia wouldn't have asked anything if she hadn't seen anything suspicious in the bag. "Are you sure she was just holding on to your bag? Are you sure there's nothing the woman took from you?"

A rush of men in front of Ignacia checked her bag. Sure enough, something's missing there. But Rajendra had just gotten it back from Ignacia's hands. Now someone's taking it back. The man hurriedly got up to check if the keychain was still in front of the cafe. Someone can't take it!

Ignacia wanted to follow her lover but her steps lagged. He could see Rajendra looking riled up when he noticed the sidewalk. Ignacia could see all her lover's movements from up there. Through the window next to his second chair. Though Ignacia was already very happy, why is Rajendra so upset?

Both orders arrived. Ignacia hastily picks up from the food elevator and catches up with Rajendra. What matters is that their tables are marked. "How's this? I can't find him" the man murmured when Ignacia arrived. The girl behind him was just as panicked. He has never seen Rajendra this stifling.

"You haven't found him yet?" Ignacia asked. He was about to approach but his steps stopped due to the gaze from the owner of the thick eyebrows. Rajendra looked at him and shook his head slowly. "Hey don't be so sad, we can look for a similar one if you like it very much. I'll give it as a gift later. It's okay, Rajendra."

"But that's your gift." Rajendra seemed to lose his spirit. The last time he had felt so guilty and used a silly mask to cover up his own feelings. "I'm sorry I accidentally lost it again." Whoever took Rajendra's valuables, please return them.

Both suspect the woman who had diverted Rajendra from the voice call with her lover must have broken the chain until the ghost bird disappeared. Maybe someone took it without knowing if the owner was very sad when he lost it. Rajendra energy is flying.

Dianti watched these lovers from behind the love table. Ignacia asks her lover to go up first while she asks Dianti for help if she sees an owl-shaped keychain in front. "That thing is very valuable to Rajendra, so I hope it can come back soon. He felt bad because it was gone."

His friend never expected this. A Rajendra he knows is unlikely to cry over a lost object. Rajendra looks a lot different. But if this thing came from the girl who spoke to him a few seconds ago. The street in front of the cafe is always crowded. Everyone can take it without anyone knowing.

Above, Rajendra tries to look fine. He smiled, dancing Ignacia's remark that everything would be fine. Ignacia will bring Rajendra to buy another keychain after eating here. Both of them start eating, they should immediately fill the stomach so they can walk as much as possible.

"I'm sorry I let you down." Rajendra looked at Ignacia timidly. Ignacia could understand. This guy said he liked the gift. Ignacia will also be disappointed in herself if she gets rid of something Rajendra gave her. Especially if it had accompanied him during this long distance relationship.

Ignacia took the hand of her lover that was on top of her thigh, she held it gently. Try to channel positive energy and calmness. Very dear, even though Ignacia uses her owl key ring to accompany her to meet this keychain pair. Maybe next time Ignacia can bring the two together someday.

Something felt vibrating from inside Ignacia's bag. There's a call from someone. Rajendra doesn't mind and lets his lover pick up the call from whoever it is. The girl swiped the green button on the phone screen, "Oh Feby what's up?" Who would have thought his co-worker would call.

"I wonder where I can meet Rajendra. There's something I have to give her."

The girl automatically looked at her lover who was eating. What does Feby want? "Why look for Rajendra? Anybody want you to arrive? He's with me now." The owner of the name turned his head, confused as to why he was in an Ignacia chat with someone.

"Where are you guys? I have something to give you."
