Possessive Love
Candour

After Alivia's dismissal, David has chosen Rangga as his personal assistant. He deliberately chose a man who would accompany him wherever he went, just in case he was no longer trapped by a seductive woman like Alivia. Because if he falls apart, besides destroying his reputation as the CEO of the biggest company, it will also destroy his relationship with Aretha, and he does not want if that happens.

That morning Rangga had just entered David's room and said that there was someone foreign who wanted to meet with the superior. Not long, then Rangga came out of the room and asked the foreign figure to immediately enter the room David, after the master asked him.

The young man dressed in all black with a mysterious look seemed to walk into David's room. David greeted her kindly, then they started a warm conversation.

"So he's the only son of Mr. Rudolf, the owner of the RB Group company," said David grinning, after seeing some photos and identity files that he got from Denis, who was not involved in the incident, the secret agent he assigned to spy on someone.

Of course David knows Rudolf very well, the owner of a hospitality company where David and his family are the biggest investors in the company.

"Denis, you make sure this guy won't make a mess, and keep following him!" david's orders. "I don't want anything bad to happen to my potential fiancee" he added.

"Good, Sir!"

"Sister, there's something I need to talk about with you" Aretha told a phone line she was on with Richard.

"But this is important" he added, after a rejection from Richard.

"It's about David. I beg!" Aretha looked begging. "We have to put an end to all these lies, I can't if we keep covering this up" he explained.

"But, Kak–"

Tut!

The phone connection was cut, after Richard expressed rejection on the grounds of being busy with work. However, a little Aretha did not believe him. He was convinced that Richard did not intend to tell David about it. Moreover, the man cut off the phone line, before Aretha finished speaking, without saying goodbye anyway.

Aretha let out a long sigh, then landed her body on a soft mattress in her room. The incident two days ago really made the girl a little frustrated. He felt guilty when he remembered the reality he had hidden from David.

Richard's uncooperative attitude made it difficult to step up. If only the man could work well together, it might make it easier to end it all. However, what is the power of Richard as if he did not want to end all that.

In fact, later Richard had never again contacted Aretha, after he had never been absent before, even though he just sent a short message asking for news and other unimportant things. Somehow the man suddenly changed as if avoiding Aretha. Even if Aretha contacted him first, Richard cut off the phone line without saying goodbye.

Drt .. drt .. drt ....

Shake the phone instantly disperse the girl's daydream. He flinched, then immediately received the expected call from Richard. Maybe there was a signal interference so the phone was disconnected, he thought.

"Hello, sister," said Aretha, after successfully pasting the flat object in her ear.

"Sister?" the familiar voice across there sounded shocked. Aretha immediately looked at the screen of her phone. Surely the caller was not Richard, but David.

"Mas David? I'm sorry I didn't think you were on the phone" Aretha said a little nervously.

"Who should you call that brother?" ask David.

"That's ...." Besides hesitating, Aretha was also confused as to what to answer.

"Who? Richard?" ask David.

DEG!

Aretha's heart was beating, why was David's guess right on target?

"Bu-no, that's my senior in college," replied Aretha nervously. However, David only responded with a clucking voice.

Sorry, Mas .. again I have to lie. I promise I'll be honest with you about me and Richard's brother, but not right now. Later if we meet. I-i promise.

"Later tonight I'll pick you up" said David.

"Where are you going?" ask Aretha.

"Take the ring" replied David.

"Or .. you took it yourself, I was lazy to go out of the house," added Aretha.

"I want you to be the same. Anyway I picked you up at seven!" David seemed to enter and immediately hung up the phone, after Aretha agreed.

***

Later that night, Aretha and David are seen in the car. They're on their way home, having taken the engagement ring they ordered two days ago.

Before returning home, they had dinner together at a restaurant. There Aretha intended to confess that honesty, about herself and Richard. However, after a rethink, he did not want to ruin his romantic atmosphere with David just like that. What if David suddenly couldn't accept, then got angry in front of the crowd? That would be very embarrassing of course.

Their engagement day is approaching. Honestly Aretha does not want if she is engaged to David, but there is still something she hides from the man. So David had to figure it out before it was too late.

"Mas." Aretha seemed to turn her head towards David with a slight hesitation.

"Yes, Honey?" David Reflect held Aretha's head while smiling with his eyes still focused on the steering wheel.

"Can you please stop the car for a second, please?" asked Aretha who suddenly made David look at her for a moment in wonder.

"For what, dear?" david asked in wonder. "Is there something you want to buy?" coined.

"No. It's just .. there's something I want to talk about," explained Aretha a little pause. " important!" he put on a serious face.

"Well, wait a minute, I'll find a quieter place first" replied David.

David focused more on the direction of the steering wheel, slightly accelerating the speed of the wheel while looking for a quiet place from the vehicle traffic. The road that night was very crowded. Although it did not make the road stuck. However, quite a lot of vehicles are passing by.

At a crossroads, David seemed to turn his car to the left, deciding to choose a road that was not so crowded with vehicles.

David stopped his car not far from the intersection. The man positioned his seat facing Aretha, then smiled at the girl before him. "What do you want to talk about?" tanyakanya.

Aretha sighed for a moment, trying to neutralize her nervous feelings. "Mas, soon we will get engaged, and for me it is a serious thing not to play games" Aretha said, hanging up her sentence. "Therefore, I don't want anything to be covered between us" he explained later.

Again David covered his smile, then his hand grabbed Aretha's cheek, stroking it gently to make Aretha close her eyes for a moment. From the cheek, the hand went down to the chin. As fast as lightning David had pulled Aretha's chin and brought her face closer together, then kissed the ripe lips gently.

There's something different. There was no rejection from Aretha. Although he did not return the kiss, but the girl seemed to enjoy it to make David immediately grinned happily.

Not long after, David removed his lips from Aretha's lips. Aretha who was still in doubt rounded her eyes. "Mas ...," she looked down at the man before her. .

"Sttt!" David held Aretha's lips while looking at her deeply. "You still doubt my love?" tanyakanya.

Slowly, Aretha lowered David's hand from her lips. "Not that," he answered, then fell silent for a moment. "Will I be angry if I make the same mistake?" tanyakanya.

David was a little surprised by Aretha's question. Why did Aretha suddenly ask like that? What mistakes has he made? Her thought.

"Why should I be angry? Is not man a place of caliphate?" david said as he slipped Aretha's hair into his ear. I don't know why David likes to hold the girl's fine hair.

"Mas .. I want to admit honesty. The truth that I have been hiding from you. I hope you won't be angry about it" Aretha said.

"What?" David looked at her questioningly.

"I ...." Aretha hung up her words for a moment. David is still focused on waiting for answers from his lover.

Aretha breathed back. "Actually ... kkk .. kak .. kak Richard is my ex, Mas!" I closed my eyes because I was nervous and scared.
