HUG ME: Love and Friendship
FRIEND BUT RIVAL

CHAPTER 61

HOSH

HOSH

Drake was furious. But he tried to hold back his anger so that the black side did not appear in public. After all, Alan had already fallen limp from receiving some raw bogem from him.

"She's pregnant. And you, instead, made a fatal mistake today by hurting her heart. I'm warning you one more time. Apologize to him and make amends for your mistakes, or no chance at all."

Alan listened to Drake's words. Even he was a little surprised by Drake's words.

"Haaarrrrhh! Drake stood up and shouted to let go of his layered irritation.

He could have hit Alan to death. But given Luna's expression that stopped her as she was about to teach Alan that lesson, Drake knew that Luna was still expecting something from Alan.

"What are you guys doing?!!" the voice made Drake look surprised.

Behind him, his father and mother were already standing looking at him. Apparently, they've seen everything Drake and Alan did. And what are they fighting about.

Seeing the chairman before him, the shocked Alan hurriedly woke up even though his body still felt pain. While Drake who did not want to talk to his parents again was rushed away from there.

"Drakes!" call his father angry.

Everyone feels very dependent. They were so afraid because they were forced to be in such a gripping situation at that time.

"As I said earlier. I'm done talking. You don't have to worry about who I'm getting married to."

After talking like that, Drake left quickly without looking at his parents. Alan who saw and heard the short conversation was confused. Why does the chairman know Drake?? How thought.

Seeing his stubborn son leave, the unappreciated Mr. Halbert also decided to return to the company.

"Basstubborn," murmured master Halbert annoyed.

He looked at his wife and moved to Alan, saying, "You, take care of the problem here and do something about it. He pisses me off."

"Alright, dear," replied Madame Wendy quickly.

Just as Mr. Halbert was leaving, there was the sound of someone commenting on Drake.

"The disrespectful child. How dare he ignore you in front of everyone" said Pitt who came with Elouise.

"Pitt," Madame Wendy welcomed her son with pleasure. "You're here too, Louise?"

"Yes. Ma'am. It just so happened that I came to try some new clothing models coming for dinner invitation later," replied Elouise smiling and bowing her head.

Quietly, Elouise looked at Drake who had just stepped out of the elevator downstairs and walked sure enough to leave that shitty place. To be honest, he was still worried about his sister-in-law.

"really? Then let's go with mom. Incidentally, I also want to see that new model of clothing."

"Of course, with pleasure. Come, mother," Elouise let her mother-in-law walk first.

And since her mainstay son had already arrived, Madame Wendy handed the matter to him.

"Pitt, you can take care of it for mom, right? He insulted our family. So you're gonna have to give him a punishment."

Pitt turned to Alan, "Alright Mom. I must have given her the punishment she deserved."

TRUCKLOADS

Alan sat in the manager's office to get a reprimand for his audacity in cursing the chairman's son. Earlier, Pitt called Alan's manager or team leader directly and gave him an order to have Alan the troublemaker write a formal apology letter to the chairman.

Furthermore, if the chairman gave him an apology, then Alan would only get a penalty like a suspension. But if the chairman is still angry and does not want to apologize, then Alan will be fired.

"You know what your mistake was?"

"Is it because I'm fighting and making a fuss at work?"

"Not that."

"Eh? B isn't that? Then what was my mistake?"

"What of all the riots here, you don't know who you're hurting as much as you did, did you???" the manager named Brush was very arrogant.

"Eh? What do you mean father?"

"Drakes."

"Oh, you mean the unemployed guy?"

BRAKKS

"Sembrono! Who do you call unemployed?!!" as Alan's boss straight away, the manager was angry until he kicked the table.

"Ejiaaahhhh! Why are you angry?" Alan almost fell out of his chair in shock.

"Yes. Drakes. What do you think his last name is?"

"Last name? How do I know...."

"Well! I-i mean. If you don't know the full name behind it, you should be able to keep a little attitude!"

"What is his last name? Why are you so serious??"

PLAQUES

Mr. Brush slaps Alan.

"Basic stupid! He's Drake Halbert. The second son of the chairman. Alias is the son of Mr. Halbert and the rightful heir of the KS group!" mr. Brush glared and shouted furiously.

DHUAAR!!

"What?? J so he's the second son that's been talked about a lot??" Alan was shocked to death like he was struck by lightning.

"Yes! Do you understand now? Because of this frivolity of yours, I also got dragged along, stupid!!"

GLUE

"Sir manager. Then what should I do? Am I gonna get fired from this place?"

"Eitherway. First of all, you should make a written statement as an expression of apology."

"alright. I'll do it."

"But don't have fun first. Even though you have written an apology letter, if the chairman does not accept your apology, it is the same. So try to do whatever it takes to make up for your mistake."

"B good, sir."

DEG

After work, Alan has an appointment to have dinner at his in-laws' house to congratulate him on his wedding to Drew which will be held tomorrow.

Arriving there, Alan daydreams in the car at the thought of his reckless behavior towards Drake. It had been almost an hour he had arrived in front of the Drew family home. But not one bit he got out of his seat.

"Huaahhh!! Who would have thought, he was the son of the chairman who was often talked about because it was scary? Woe to me.." Alan banged his head on the steering wheel of the car.

TOK TOK TOK

"Darling, why are you still here?" Drew sees Alan's car and approaches him.

"Let's go in. Mom and Dad have been waiting for you since."

"Well, yes" he replied.

•••••••

TRACKS

Drake lit his cigarette and sat in front of the house. He was still thinking about Alan who might have cut off his relationship with Luna.

If that happens, then the baby in Luna's stomach will be born without a father.

"Did Terra know about this?" he muttered while squinting his eyes at Luna's house.

"Hi Drake!"

"Arthur?"

TOSS

The two men always do boxing greetings if they meet.

"Are you on patrol?"

"Yes. I happened to pass near your house. So there's no harm in stopping by for a second" Arthur said.

"Hmm,,,"

"Oh, yeah. Have you received any word from Joy?"

"Joy? Haven't. He hasn't called me since he left here. Aih, that kid. He could have forgotten me, "Drake nagged.

Arthur chuckles at Drake's words that Joy feels forgotten.

"Hehehe. No. There's no way she's forgotten you. Yesterday Joy followed my Instagram. Then we talked a lot about his daily life in America. During the conversation, he kept talking about you. So how could he forget a good uncle like you."

"really? Then he should have sent me a message upon arrival there, why did he make me wait for news," Drake was a little disappointed.

"I heard she lost her suitcase at the airport. So everything she brought with her including your phone number is gone. But just calm down. I gave her your number again."

"Seriously? But doesn't Flora and Bluo have my number? I gave it to them at the time."

"Hmm, if that's the case, I don't know. Just think positive. Maybe the kid's busy at his new school."

"Yes. I'd think like that. At least I knew he was okay" Drake continued smoking.

"Well, almost forgot. He also asked me what your account name was. Come to think of it, I never found your account either. Do you have it?"

"Instagram, yeah. No. gabe. I don't have it" Drake scratched his head.

"Why not have one?"

"Ehe. I'm not very active on social media. Only the necessary applications I have."

"Iisshs. Just be right. Are you grandpa? Why not keep up with the times and styles of young people??" ledek Arthur's.

"Yeah... I'm just lazy," Drake said casually while smoking his cigarette.

"CK, CP, CK. You're a freak," Arthur was astonished as he held his chin.

CLIP

"Why? Why are you looking at me like that?" Drake glanced at Arthur as the man continued to look at him in surprise.

"If you look around, how to dress is quite fashionable and always follow the latest trends. As I recall, I've also seen you wearing a shirt from that famous brand."

"You're careful too."

"Of course, my work requires carefulness in every case. For a case as small as this, of course I'll be aware of it immediately."

"All right, police officer. Don't take too much of my life. I'm not the prime suspect in your case" Drake replied grinningly.

"By the way, I can't believe you ended up being a cop like you wanted to. You must have worked hard to take the test. Even if it's too late, I'm serious about congratulating you" Drake continued, patting Arthur on the shoulder.

Arthur nodded while chuckling. Because they get back to being familiar and chatting casually like before, Drake also laughs with his friend.

"I didn't expect either, I could pass the police exam. You know what, back at my school?"

"Hm. You're a rancid prick who only thinks about dating."

"Hahaha,, Exactly! We were young once. What else can you do if you are not dating? I remember Bella. What's he like now, huh?"

"Ah, that innocent girl. Maybe he fell in love with an amit-amit guy like you, hikhikhik," Drake chuckled again.

"Heyy.. It's just that innocent girls seem to be the ones who are much more aggressive to men," Arthur recalled Bella, his girlfriend first.

"Bas with you," Drake knows Arthur's nature.

To be a friend, maybe Arthur is the best, but to be a girlfriend, it needs to be thought out carefully.

"But that popular girl, our Junior High School and High School friend. Elousise. Yeah, Elouise. Do you remember? He was fierce to other men's friends. There was not a single declaration of love from us that he received."

"But to our amazement, you who don't care about him, like to fight and make a scene here and there can actually date him. Whoaahs!! Great," Arthur clapped his hands in Drake's past.

"But by the way, why did you break up then? Is it because of graduation?"

Drake is silent and forced to remember his dark times. Therefore he also remembered the reason for breaking up Elouise that he knew a few months ago.

It's true, he, Arthur, Bella and Elouise have been schoolmates since Junior High. He dated Elouise as well from then on and held on to High School. But due to the fucking events of the past, Elouise cut ties with him unilaterally.

CK CK CK, I think love is indeed a secret of God," Arthur sighed.

SIIIIGINGGG

They sit looking up at the sky, like when they were Junior High School and High School. In the past, as close friends of teenagers, they often spent empty hours sunbathing on the school balcony.

Frequently too, they went to watch the team of cheerleaders who were training in the hall. On the team, there are Elouise and Bella. The beautiful girls they were dating at the time.

While reminiscing about the old school days, Arthur suddenly asked.

"Oh yeah. By the way, are you familiar with Lulu?"

Drake looked wondering why Arthur asked about Lulu. Then, with a diculum smile, he lowered his head and prepared to tell the story.

"Lulu? Sure oes. He,-"

But nevertheless....

Not even Drake finished talking, Arthur interrupted.

"He's sweet, yeah! I think I'm in love with him. A few times meeting him made my heart beat fast. I think God sent it for me on purpose."
