Kiara who was sitting in front of Winata was really very nervous her hand that was placed on her thighs grasped each other tightly. He even squeezed his skirt.
He really did not expect if he would finally face off against Mitra Winata. Someone who must be pretty scary. Even very afraid of Winata and definitely the person who should be avoided.
Not long ago the man was ordered Winata to make tea has come.
" Thank you" said Winata. The waiter nodded and left.
" Come on Kiara's drinking!" winata.
" Yes sir" replied Kiara
" Kiara come on you have to be calm don't be nervous Kiara," said Kiara who tried to calm herself.
" Are you a writer?" tanya Winata suddenly reopened the conversation.
" Yes sir" replied Kiara.
" Can't you talk see me. Is there something wrong with me?" tanya Winata who saw Kiara who had earlier looked down. Kiara was seen slowly breathing out and raised her face towards Winata.
Kiara could see clearly. How is Winata's face. A face that looks very dignified. Very strict and maybe a little cruel.
What else Kiara heard some of Kevin's stories about Winata that clearly what Kevin told was the same as what he saw based on his assessment. From Winata's face.
" I saw some of your books, and they're all good" said Winata, speaking at ease.
" Thank you sir" said Kiara.
" I'm sure Kevin's dad must have found out who I am. He knows I am a writer and he knows it. If I come here often, what else does he know. Why is my feeling getting so unsettled, "inner Kiara.
" Aren't you planning on writing anymore?" ask Winata.
" There is a sir, but the timing is not right yet" Kiara replied.
" You better continue writing. Than you do useless things. Like dating. What is useful," said Winata as a mindir.
Like in a lightning strike. Kiara heard. Kiara is getting scared and more convinced Winata knows his relationship with Kevin.
" Not used? ask Winata. Kiara nods her head and Winata looks a thin smile.
" Continue your talent as a writer don't waste time in your youth. You're 19 years old. Obviously there's a lot you can do" Winata said.
" You are a visitor to this library. Visitors stay and read the most books. Yes Kevin also often visit this library," said Winata again who now offends Kevin.
" Om Winata already knows my relationship with Kevin," Kiara's mind seemed resigned.
" Oh yeah. I just found out. If you are also one of the people who contributed to the Lexus foundation. You're developing a school and a Lexus campus. But it's a pity that you're suddenly out and Lexus doesn't have a kid who's 1Q high anymore. Surely our foundation is very lost to you, it must be very dear" said Winata. Kiara just shut up. Because he resigned. He will only answer what he asks.
" Can be explained. Why did you choose to drop out of Lexus College?" ask Winata.
" What should I answer," the puzzled inner Kiara answered Winata's question.
" She!" reprimand Winata who saw Kiara was silent.
" I had aspirations to go to Harvard and I wanted to go there" Kiara replied. Winata seemed to nod at Kiara's reply.
" Have you been accepted?" ask Winata.
" I have been accepted. Just take the scholarship exam and re-enrollment" Kiara replied.
" so apparently. I also happen to know some people there. Including the person who takes care of the registration of new students. Which I might be able to talk to him. To get rid of people who will enter or not pass it," said Winata who continued to talk casually.
" What does it mean. Why is Om Winata talking like that," Kiara's inner self felt like something was going wrong.
" Yes in that matter it must be ordinary no" Winata said with a meaningful smile. But it was very scary for Kiara.
" Hmmm, you are also the son of Danu Bramana who works in my company?"ask Winata.
" Yes sir," replied Kiara who now spoke more calmly.
" Your brother will be promoted soon, too" Winata said.
" What does it mean why his speech so spread here and there. What he really wanted to say," Kiara's inner being completely clueless with Winata who was talking too much and made her wonder at the core of the words.
" Hmmm, let's have a drink. You don't get tense like that" said Winata.
" Yes sir," replied Kiara whose hand took a cup of tea and wanted to drink it which Winata had also started drinking.
" Where did you first meet Kevin?" tanya Winata made Kiara not to drink. And his heart was pounding more and more erratically. Like being struck by lightning with that question.
" What's in this library?" guess Winata. " You see your cctv is often with him here. Aging and looking very close," continued Winata.
Kiara's chest grew increasingly claustrophobic at the words and slowly Kiara lowered her tea title. He did not drink because he heard Kiara's words.
" Do you meet outside the country. Paris, America or Germany" Winata continued.
" Often wasting time in Lexus hotels" Winata continued. Kiara swallowed her salavina hearing it.
" Nothing is right" Kiara said with great courage. Maybe what he has been hiding all this time has been discovered and why else have to pretend like there is no relationship.
" I met him the first time on that plane as I recall. But Kevin said no. He didn't even tell me at all. Maybe if you ask him he will tell you," said Kiara who spoke really brave and a little challenging.
" I thought this girl. It's not easy to be fooled. He even looks calm when I say about Kevin," Winata's mind must thumbs up with Kiara's courage to talk to him.
**********
Kiara and Winata's wetting is over and Kiara has returned to the cofee shop where her brother waits in a trembling and curious manner as to what Kiara and Winata are talking about.
When he saw the sister had crossed the road and almost approached the coffee shop Rachel who was impatient immediately approached her sister.
" Kiara what she said. Are you okay. Did he say something hurtful. Or what did he do ?" rachel asked Kiara with a lot of questions by holding her sister's arm.
" No brother, there's nothing. Everything is fine" replied Kiara. Rachel scrunched her forehead. Obviously I don't believe in that.
" liks. Where may have told the same brother what he said to you," said Rachel who clearly did not believe her sister. Kiara took a deep breath and threw it away slowly.
" He was just asking. Why did I leave Lexus University?" answer Kiara.
" That's it" said Rachel. Kiara nodded.
" Time is just that" said Rachel who did not believe.
" Yes, he naturally asked that. Because with my exit from the Lexus foundation. Their shares are down. That's why he called me to chat," Kiara said with a little clarity.
" That's it. Let's go in. Don't talk here" said Kiara, who first walked into the coffee shop and left Rachel still confused.
" Time yes. Winata's partner just said that, "the inner Rachel who doesn't believe in her sister.
" What Kiara is hiding something. Or she does know Kiara and Kevin's relationship and she forbids it" Rachel's inner self guesses what side of the conversation it is.
" Kiara must be hiding something. His face was also very lethargic" he said again who felt something was wrong. Long hilly and guessing what happened. Finally Rachel followed Kiara into the coffee shop.

Sandy was washing dishes. Clarissa with the one who woke up down the stairs with the kimono she was wearing. He felt unable to sleep. Clarissa left the room to chat with Sandy.
And it turns out that Sandy was in the kitchen and was washing dishes. Clarissa smiled and walked over to Sandy. And directly hugging her from behind made Sandy a sudden shock. There were hands holding her.
" Why haven't you slept?" ask Sandy to continue her work.
" I can't sleep" replied Clarissa.
" Why?" ask Sandy.
" I don't know. I want to talk to you. So that I would get sleepy and finally be able to sleep" Clarissa said.
" I was washing. Finish this we'll have a chat" said Sandy.
" Hmmm" replied Clarissa. Sandy grunts smiling seeing Clarissa still hugging him .
" Wait there! I'll finish this first" said Sandy.
" I don't want to. Because of this I last held you like this" Clarissa Sandy said confusedly at Clarissa's words.
" Why?" sandy asked Clarissa to look at Clarissa with a serious face.
" I'll be home tomorrow. I have to neutralize the atmosphere. Before you suspect me," replied Clarissa.
" Oh, so. I guess I don't know what," said Sandy relieved.
" Why are you, afraid. I just left" Clarissa teased Sandy.
" Yes can be said. I'm afraid it can't be like this anymore" Sandy replied honestly. Clarissa smiled hearing that.
" We can still meet on campus instead of my room being free for you. So Kiara can be alone there," said Clarissa holding Sandy's cheek.
" You're really naughty" Sandy poked Clarissa's nose. Clarissa put her hand around Sandy's neck.
" I want to stay here forever with you" Clarissa said.
" I am too. I want to stay here too. With you" answered Sandy. Clarissa tiptoes and kisses Sandy's lips.
" I must have missed you so much" Clarissa said.
" I must miss you more, too" replied Sandy. They stared at each other and and their eyes fell on each other's lips and until finally the lips stuck together and kissed deeply.
They will be separated temporarily. So you have to let go of the miss first.
Seriate....
