Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 6

The cynical grin never escaped the man's face shortly after receiving a short message from the person he was waiting for. Indeed, he said that he would wait for a short message of the woman's account number in the afternoon, but a Jullian was not unusual to wait. If it wasn't for wanting to achieve his goal, perhaps he would have gone berserk and cancelled his smooth plan of trapping Arnetta.

Good things come to those who wait, right?

The rumbling of his chest never stopped when he realized that he was now a US cardholder. He will carry out his plan as smoothly as possible. Without a gap, Jullian would have brought the woman to her knees the way she had long desired. Not caring about his pity for her, because that woman who dared to break his heart. Destroying the love he gave.

Arnetta is just a dirty woman.

"Look, you never stopped smiling. Not feeling sore?"

Hearing that voice, that smile instantly receded replaced with indecision within him. He knew his wife could easily read his movements. But this time Jullian will not let Lusi take the role here. He didn't need that woman just to snare Arnetta.

He turned around and stood with his chin raised in front of Lusi who was leaning his body on the doorstep of their room.

"I will get a reward for my patience."

"Arnetta you mean?" Lusi could not help his wry smile twitching. Somehow he again did not like the feeling that the world seemed to revolve around the woman. It's been a good five years he's been through without a shadow of the woman, but now the bully is back. Like trying to destroy his own.

Jullian did not care about his wife's clumsiness which would lead to jealousy. From the beginning he had said that their marriage was nothing more than giving benefits to each family. After Jullian gets Arif and Lusi gets a big project for his father, the woman should feel the same satisfaction as him.

Their marriage was simply a life on paper, which could one day be annulled as Jullian wished. Lucia has no right to intervene in the agreement at all. The woman never had any rights in that.

The man looked at Lusi lightly, while wearing his suit. "I thought someone should have forgotten his position."

The woman's face hardened. A beautiful parasite that showed tenderness instantly turned into an unease over the words of her husband.

"Do I have to show you that paper again?"

"Stop! I will never forget my position, Jullian. Me and you .. We get married only on paper, but what if I want more?" Luci hardened his jaw.

Jullian continued his movement to tidy up. Behind his movements that wrapped a watch around his wrist, he smiled with great care. Lusi's voice sounded discordant and strange to him.

More?

What hit the woman's head?

"You know .. I think you better develop your talent to be a poet. I was almost touched by your words."

"Julian ..."

"I haven't been interested in you since, .. You exchanged yourself with your sister who****** that." Say that before he steps away.

Luci clenched both his hands furiously. She was eager to shout her anger at her husband, but it felt like it would be in vain. Jullian would have been happier if he had done so. Better, she was patient and followed the game played by her husband. It's just that if Arnetta is behind his misery this time, he won't stay silent.

"I'll keep what's mine, Neeta."

While Jullian walked from his room to the room occupied by his hero. When he opened the door, a young boy was playing with his robot. Spacious rooms with superhero caratkter decorations such as superman and batman adorn the sides of the walls. Jullian remembered that he was very enthusiastic about welcoming the birth of the child, not with Lusi.

"Hi hotshot!" Call him from the doorway.

The boy turned his head and smiled happily when he saw the most beloved figure in the world. In high spirits, Arif, the boy ran over and jumped to the arms of the father who was already crouching to greet him.

"Dad, you want to go?"

Jullian turned his face away to observe the child. The face that was almost similar to the version of himself as a child was clearly plastered in front of his eyes. He smiled sincerely welcoming the question of the child. Jullian has always been in love with this child. He took care of it with his own two hands helped by two nurses. His love for Arif shuts down a reality that he has kept tight since his birth.

"Both days. I'll go take care of some things. Arif don't be naughty, huh?"

The light on the boy's face dimmed. Jullian hated the most if he had to see the face of the child dim. He knew that no one loved the boy more than him. In fact, as a baby Jullian almost every day brought the child to work. No matter the strange look of his subordinates. Jullian never calmed down leaving Arif in the hands of Lusi, who obviously never put love on Arif.

"Dad just for a minute. After that there will be someone to babysit you."

"New friend?" Arif smiled displaying a row of his front self that came off two. Jullian was at that moment and there was always at whatever moment Arif went through in his life.

"Yes. He's a good man. I'm sure you'll be friends."

For a moment Jullian looked at Arif with a bitter smile. He did not know whether Arnetta would accept this child or not after receiving her treatment. Bad thoughts about the woman about her heart. What if the woman harms the child?

Butno. He knows the woman. Rather than Lusi, Jullian entrusted Arif to her. Arnetta could not bear to hurt his son, after he saw how Arnetta looked at Arif for the first time at home.

"But I have to get home quickly. I'm lonely."

Jullian nodded and kissed the boy on the forehead. He will return as soon as he can. After his return, Lusi will definitely go again to Singapore and Jullian does not care what business there.

Seeing Arif is like seeing a shadow of himself in the past. How hard it is to be ignored by the parents who are clearly in front of him. Visible but unobtainable. Jullian doesn't want Arif to feel the same way. He had promised to love Arif all his heart. No matter the Secret that until now only himself and Lusi of course know.

Jullian will still love the boy even if Arif is not his real son.

**

Because wounds never know the time to spread pain.

Looking at the place that was once occupied and storing memories, did not necessarily make the woman indifferent. He turned his head slightly - not nearly a split second he looked at one of the restaurant benches visible from the hotel lobby. A bench that reminds him of past memories that he cannot just throw away.

One of the benches now inhabited by lovers who were looking at the view of the night sky out there brought Arnetta back into the shadow of an old film about her and also someone. Now the promise he made, that he would no longer be trapped nolstagia evaporated like the wind. He was still having trouble and hoped this bitterness was a dream.

Arnetta tapped her anxious side of her foot. He waited in the lobby of the Horrison hotel with a gaze that floated somewhere. Half an hour .. he waited for the figure he was waiting for. He didn't know if he should be afraid or anxious. The two feelings seemed to merge into one. After receiving proof of the incoming money transfer, he had signed an invisible contract to repay Jullian's kindness. The man has kept his promise. Now Arnetta must keep his promise as well.

This place was supposed to be a place that he could not walk. Too many sweet memories make her nauseous. The feeling of wanting to spit something out of his mouth clumped together into one at the base of his throat, accompanied by pain that was clearly felt in his stomach.

Waited ...

He hates to feel that honestly. However, as a self-knowing woman she tries to understand. Jullian is free to rule himself. The man has provided a service that may never be replaced. Because of that man, tonight his mother could have surgery. Arnetta would ask for nothing more than the gratitude he would repeat to Jullian.

Soon the ringing sound from his phone rang. Some people who were around him also looked at the object that had been hiding behind his hands. Understandably, Arnetta still uses an old mobile phone that sounds just a loud tone of ear-bending.

Just go up to the 5th floor and in room 531 my guest is waiting for you.

- Jullian -

Arnetta sighed. A little disappointed he felt when he knew that he would not meet with Jullian. He wanted in his little heart to wish tonight to see that man's shady smile. Arnetta missed that smile.

Without lingering any longer, he immediately stepped his foot into the elevator. Lucky as he walked up to her, the door opened and several people came out of it. Arnetta pressed the number 5 on the elevator button. He was alone in the iron box that was delivering him to the floor indicated by Jullian. His heart rumbled. Before this he had indeed accompanied some guests, but the people he used to meet were the type of drunkards who might never recognize him.

Working at a nightclub and being one of the hosts made Arnetta used to this. Where he works he is protected because it is a rule he will only pour drinks and then go or wait for them to gamble in the corner of the room. Just looking at the level of a Jullian Basuki, he doubted that this guest was just anyone. Certainly if it was Jullian's business partner then that person was an important person. Using a light green short-sleeved dress below his best knee, he hopes that his appearance will get a good response from guests Jullian.

When the sound of the elevator to disperse the short daydream. The hallway was deserted bright yellow light rays with red carpet makes Arnetta bristling. His heart was making a fuss in there until he had to press against his own chest. Many times he tried to exhale heavily. Arnetta was sure he could.

531.

The room that was located at the very end of it made his heart beat uncharacteristic. He tried to think positively that the woman he was going to be with tonight was a good person. Jullian couldn't have tried to hurt her. That guy is a good guy too.

In just a short moment, the door of room 531 opened and displayed a middle-aged figure wearing a towel kimono. Seeing all that, Arnetta could only stare in disbelief.

"You're finally coming, baby." Said the man with a sly grin.

Arnetta almost shouted seeing not just one man there, but there were four men inside there wearing a towel kimono. The look of all the men looked terrible.

"A-I .. like the wrong room." Arnetta. The shadow of Jullian's face flashed through his mind. He remembers how Jullian sincerely helped him and explained that his work only accompanied his client's wife.

"Arnetta. Jullian must not have picked a girl wrong."

DEG

His body suddenly froze. Panic mixed with tension. One of the men there mentioned a name he should never have heard.

"here! Come with us. I'm sure you'll be satisfied." Terrible funny.

GREPS!

Arnetta screeched as the old man who opened the door pulled her in. He thrashed with all his might. Her crying was already on the tile when she almost entered the room. He screamed that the old men would let him go.

"No! No!" That was all he could repeat when his stuffing had already started to become his last attempt.

"Srush! No cry. We'll cheer you up, baby."

The three old men finally stood up and tried to bring Arnetta into the room. Arnetta's roar was as meaningless as the four of them were about to lead him in.

"Don't! ... Aaaargh!" Arnetta kicked anything no matter that his leg started to hurt. His head was dizzy and his myopic sight was no reason for him to stop.

'SRAK'

Arnetta was getting thrashed as her dress arm had been torn by one of the man's hands. He was terrified. He wants to get out of here as soon as possible. He's really scared right now.

"Damn it! This woman is too noisy!" Said one of the old men who had ripped off the sleeve of his dress.

'PLAQUE'

The pain and heat on her cheeks made Arnetta realize that she was not strong enough to resist. The face of the mother who was waiting for him in the hospital became the only strength left for him. With all her might, Arnetta tried to release her body that was almost lifted off the floor. He's not giving up tonight.

Whether gaining strength from nowhere, the woman floated her feet at the old man who dragged her into this room. Seeing his partner in pain, the three loosened their grip and made Arnetta prepare to flee. When he was outside the room, Arnetta ran as fast as she could. His body was almost hollow several times. Bida heard the cry of the old men who called him and had heard that one such person was swearing at Jullian.

Arnetta doesn't know and doesn't care. His fear has risen. He can't do this. His brain was still sane enough to sell himself. And his heart, it's so painful.

***

A woman ran through the cold night air. Her clothes that no longer have perfect form was not touched. The cold night wind was not a taste for him. Tears continued to bathe his face as he continued to turn his head back, and hoped that the men would no longer pursue him.

When he saw a dark and narrow dead-end alley, the woman ran to it. He crouched behind the wall and sharpened his hearing. Meanwhile, the only thing he could hear was his crazy heartbeat. His breathing was outnumbered by a voice he could only hear himself. Other than the rumbling sound of his heart, there was something painful inside his chest. The shadow when he realized that this was all just a trap.

Life is not as good as the story in the novel. Bitterer. Everything bitter.

That sentence still refused to decay in his brain. He could hear the sound until now. The woman felt that the sentence was laughing at her, mocking her who still expected eternal love.

There aren't. All is pain and bitterness. All is nothing more than a pseudo-shadow that only she sees as beauty. The fact that the good past can change the fictitious future. Until now, at this moment, the pain was increasingly penetrating into his bones.

Heart hurts. He was shaken by everything that had happened. Jullian tried to sell it. He could never have guessed that Jullian would have treated him this low. It's... Arnetta felt herself as inferior as a prostitute.

"So, after you ran away from me, you're hiding here, honey?"

The woman's body suddenly froze. His related hand felt extremely cold as the sound pierced directly into his senses. The woman did not dare to raise her head. He could not see the man looking at him as hatefully as he had just a moment ago. He could not see the hatred in the man's eyes. He can't.

'SRAK'

"Parr...!" The woman grimaced as her head was forced up and was convinced that her hair had slipped into the man's rough grasp. His face continued to duck, not daring to look at the owner of the hand that was now in front of him. He knew that no matter how much he asked for forgiveness, the man would never forgive him. His piercing sharp eyes had already become a marker of his anger.

"You've already begun to play tricks on me, Arnetta." Fierce speech.

The small hands followed the hand of the man who was weakly grabbing his mane. He hoped that the compassion he had been shown would be seen now. But, as he peeked out from behind the empty crack, the man seemed to be grinning horribly. Things he'd never seen before.

"A-Thank me, Jullian. I beg you." Her great-grandchild. The woman no longer knew what she could do to alleviate this pain. He could not think clearly, other than begging for mercy from her. Jullian had to forgive her, for her sake as well as her mother who was waiting for this moment.

Jullian loosened his trap on the woman. He brought Arnetta's face slightly closer to him and placed his lips in front of the woman's ears. "Finally, .. You know what your position is now. You are nothing more than an*****, Arnetta. I bought you very expensive."

DEG

Arnetta was once again frozen. It felt like the world had just hit his head. The cold that was not the wind that night spread instantly all over his body involuntarily. The words that jolted his consciousness heard were very clear and kind from the man's lips. The sweet word that he had always remembered shattered instantly.

"If you don't want to serve my guests, fine ... From this moment on you must serve me. Like it or not, you have to do it or the old woman's life will be in my hands."

No sweet promises, now Arnetta knows her dark life will await her. He will be destroyed, certainly destroyed in the hands of this man he loves so much.

***

Jullian mercilessly stomps the defenseless body of Arnetta on his bed. The darkness he had deliberately created made the weak figure already yak visible. Her tiny body that was moving after Jullian had actually sustained a deep wound. Both Arnetta's physical and soul were destroyed. The woman has been damaged after what she received tonight.

Arnetta cried, without anyone knowing how fast the tears were flowing. His voice was over to cry out for forgiveness. The pain in his body is like a complement to his heartache tonight. He will never forget tonight. It is enough to realize that any effort he makes to defend himself will end up in vain. I don't know how much longer Jullian will torture him even though his breathing has shortened.

"I never knew that you were still so narrow, ******. Did you satisfy them in any other way?"

Jullian's voice sharpened as he moved his body tore apart Arnetta's defenses. Once terbesit pity and amazed when he knew that the woman he now dagahi almost untouched. But, a sordid shadow of the way Arnetta satisfied another man again drew vengeance on him. He wants this woman to be destroyed.

That woman is not a virgin. He knows it. And it is the most hated given there is another man who first menagahi this woman besides himself.

Jullian's large hand violently pressed against the side of the face that was no longer shaped. The wound that is now his makeup is undeniable again has become a complement to the pain he is experiencing today. The man had already slapped him after Arnetta carried out an attack in self-defense. The woman's back was full of wounds.

Yes, Jullian beat him up because Arnetta kicked ************ guy like he did at the hotel.

His chest tightened, he wanted to scream but was unable. He was paralyzed to numb. The fact that the figure he thought could ease his wounds was a beginner in the story of his suffering. Arnetta believes she will be destroyed in this man's hands.

"You should have known your destiny would only be a whore and be under my feet. You're gonna die in agony until you beg me to kill you, baby."

When the release entered Arnetta, the last tear fell as a cover of the painful shadow. Darkness picked up the rest of his consciousness and dropped himself in a dream.

Jullian soon broke away from Arnetta.  He saw a tiny body full of wounds that he incised. The man had already turned into a monster. Arnetta must be unconscious by now. He believed the slow movement of breath he saw was not a form of consciousness of the woman.

Grievous.

Seeing the woman helpless slightly pinched his heart. He wanted ... to want the woman in a different way, even if it had been five years. But his heart was broken. The mistake of Arnetta that left him in a state of disintegration further tormented him.

"If only we had met on different streets, then I would have adored you so much, Arnetta." His murmur was cooled with tears falling down his cheeks.
