5 House Party 1

It's a big news for the whole country.

There were numerous interview request for Lix but he didn't want to attend any. Rhan just went back home to get some of her things, she's not planning on staying in the house Rhian bought them but when Rhian told her that everyone's digging her information, she immediately asked Rhian to help her get her things. 'I can't let the people know I am just living in an apartment, it's embarrassing for Lix,' Rhan thought while putting her clothes in her luggage.

Rhian hired workers to get some of her heavy things while she helps Rhan with her personal belongings. "Rhan, what happened last night?" Rhian asks with a teasing expression. Rhan blushed, "Nothing!"

"Oh, really?" Rhian pokes her cheek but suddenly Rhan's phone rang. It's Hayn, one of her current boyfriend. She has received numerous messages from her boyfriends and she answered them all and broke up with them. They are all nice guys who are only friends with Rhan but are called boyfriends.

"Yah?" Rhan answered.

"So, we're not boyfriend-girlfriend anymore?" Hayn laughs.

"Yes, but we're still friends like now, we just can't call each other boy/girlfriends," Rhan laughs while looking at Rhian.

Rhian wants to strangle her sister for calling her boy friends her boyfriends and that she say that she's dating all of them. When in reality they are typical boy friends and that they are only seeing each other because Rhan's friends with them. There are people who call her a slut but she doesn't care. Rhian blames Rick for what is happening with Rhan but it's her little sister's fault for choosing bad things.

"Yep, yeah. I'll send the draft on... maybe tomorrow or next day."

Rhan turned off the call and looked at Rhian, "What?"

"You have another project?" Rhian asks while putting Rhan's art materials on a box.

"Yes, it's a novel by some random dude who's into swordfighting," Rhan answered.

Rhian suddenly blushed, she's thinking of other "swordfighting," since she's that type of girl, Rhan looks at her with scared face. Rhian's almost drooling while imagining the new project of Rhan. "Oh, come on! You're disgusting, Rhian! It's literally swordfighting!"

Rhan suddenly received a call from Lix, "Where did he get my number?" She asks. "I gave him, you guys are married but you don't have each others number," Rhian answers while wiping her drool.

"You put his number on my phone?" Rhan showed Rhian her phone while it's ringing. "Yeah, I did."

Rhan just stared at her phone and waited until Lix dropped the call. "You're mean, Rhan. You just got married and you already want to stop," Rhian checks Rhan's dresses before putting them on a box. Rhan is a girly person, she loves dresses and jewelry, but she's lowkey about it. She'll rather wear jeans or shorts when she went out but when she's inside her apartment, she's wearing dresses, like now.

"I didn't even want to start it, you know that," Rhan answered.

"But you're hurting his feelings. By the way, they are already working on the share of father in Mr. Westria's company."

Rhan just nodded. She hates that she's stuck with someone she doesn't love because her father need it.

They finished packing her things and are on the way to their house when Rhian noticed that Lix has missed call Rhan for 65 times already for the whole day. Rhan just checks her tablet to avoid seeing his calls.

"If you're not going to give him a chance, you wouldn't know," Rhian said while looking at Rhan worriedly. "Just focus on driving, Rhian," Rhan answered.

They arrived at their house. Rhian choose a house which is farther from the main city, it's quite far and it's located on a mountain. You can see the whole city on the balcony and it's view at night is majestic. The balcony has a small pool and the garden has a numerous numbers of flowers.

Rhian has been preparing this house for almost two years when she got sure that Rhan's getting married. Even though she doesn't want her little sister to get married to a man she doesn't know, she can't do anything. Her father needs it.

"Wow," Rhan said when she pass by the garden. Due to her embarrassment and iritation this morning she didn't notice the garden. She didn't even looked around the house. She immediately called Rhian to pick her up while Lix drove himself alone.

"Look around, I'll fix your things," Rhian said as he orders the workers where to put Rhan's things. Rhian prepared a separate work room for Rhan because she know how much she hates to be disturbed when working.

Rhan went around the garden then she found a pond with fishes behind the house and a bird house. Rhian knows Rhan more than Rhan knows herself. She loves nature, plants and animals are her favorite. She smiled while taking pictures of the garden and pond.

She went inside the house using the back door and went upstairs. She went to the balcony, she found a small table with four chairs and a parasol standing beside it and her excitement sparked when she saw the whole city under the sun.

After feeling the breeze and admiring the view, she went inside, there is the kitchen, the dining room, living room and a library. There is a wide empty space dividing the place. The left side is where the dining room and kitchen are located, on the right side, there is the library and living room.

She went upstairs again, there were two rooms which has "Rhan's Space," and "Lix's Space," signages on the doors. There's also an entertainment room and an empty room beside it.

She opened hers and saw Rhian fixing her art materials, she wanted to go inside but she got more curious of what's in Lix's space.

Rhian noticed Rhan let go of the door and she followed her to see why she's not entering. Rhian saw Rhan trying to open Lix's space, "It's locked, he has the key, are you curious?" Rhian smiled at Rhan's flustered face. "No, I was just curious," Rhan mumbles and covered her mouth. "I know," Rhian chucked and went inside Rhan's space again.

Rhan roams around and saw the master's bedroom upstairs where she and Lix slept in. And while she looks inside, she remembered what she did to Lix. He has to go out wearing turtle neck even with the hot weather to hide the kiss and bite marks on his neck and arm.

"Why am I so... ugh!" Rhan punches the pillows. She stands up and went to the balcony of the room. It has clear glass doors so you can clearly see the room with only while curtain over the glass.

It's higher than the balcony downstairs, you can see things higher and the beach can be seen. They used to go the Barnela Beach when they were young, it's been years since her last visit.

She went out of the room and she saw three other rooms. It's all empty except for simple bedroom furnitures. She thought what were the rooms for until it hit her, "Children's Room," Rhian said. Rhan turned around with blushing face.

"You really think I will spend the rest of my life with that guy? Are you crazy? I said I don't even know his birthday!" Rhan shouted.

"Tomorrow," Rhian said.

"Tomorrow?" Rhan tilted her head.

"TOMORROW?" Rhan exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Yes, I'm planning on throwing a party here, if, of course, you're fine with that since you own this house," Rhian said.

"Of course!" Rhan agreed with sparkling eyes, 'Party!' she thought.

Rhian knew why Rhan agreed, it's a party, but Rhian is not planning on bringing alcohol. She just noticed Rhan's condition whenever she's drinking alcohol, though she's not sure if Rhan is sick, she needs to be careful.

"I'll be going," Rhian said while waving goodbye.

They ate together and talked about the party for tomorrow. The plan is that Rhan will act as if she doesn't know it's Lix's birthday. She has to act cold, though she is already cold towards Lix and she will have to wait for Lix to get home, but she has to act with Hayn that they are flirting outside the house as if she just got home too.

Lix got home late last night but she slept in one of the children's room and locked it. She really doesn't want to face him. She hates to see him. Lix didn't bother to knock on the door because he heard her phone rang when he messaged her a good night.

The next morning Rhan went out early. Lix was still sleeping when she sneaked out. She wanted to make breakfast but she doesn't want to as well.

"Hayn, do I really have to buy him a gift?" Rhan asks while they are walking around the mall. Rhan has to wear a hoddie now because if people will recognize her, they will probably bother her.

"Yes, he's your husband. Don't be like that, Rhan. You're such a sweet girl, you know. Even though you were forced to marry him, you're just in the same boat with him," Hayn said while checking out watches.

"You mean, he might be feeling the same way with me?" Rhan walks around the men's store while thinking of what gift to give Lix.

"Maybe. By the way, can you tell me what he usually wears?" Hayn asks but he just got a blank stare from Rhan. They just met the other day, how can Rhan know. Especially that this girl is dense about her surrounding.

"He's Lix, right, the singer?"

Rhan nods while checking out a shirt but Hayn suddenly lost his hope, "He's a star, he has it all, we can't give him anything." Rhan laughs, she thought she's the only one who thought of that.

"But, how long will it take you to paint his face, Rhan?" Hayn asks. They are eating on an Ice cream shop after looking for a gift that can't be found.

"Well, it depends, if it's a canvas which is 8 by 11, maybe 2 hours, that's the fastest." Rhan loves to paint using water colors, before she can even be a comic artist, she has been into art since she's a kid.

"Well... I am thinking, why don't you just paint him?" Hayn smiles as if he jst discovered something no one has ever found.

"Are you crazy? I know he already received numerous gifts like that from his fans."

"But it's from you, his wife, the most important woman in his life," Hayn said.

"Are you crazy? If he hates me like I hate him, it will still look like it came from a fan."

"No, no, no, no, no. I hate when you think negatively, Rhan. It somehow corrupts my optimism."

"Because it's true."

"No, okay. Paint a picture of him no one has ever seen."

"Some painter painted with just their imagination."

"Ugh! Paint something that no one has ever imagine!"

"What, his *beep*?"

"No, a lot of fans already imagined his *beep*."

"If you really insist, I'll ask Rhian for photos."

After checking photos Rhian has sent, Rhan's eyes were caught by his photo. He was looking at something, his smile was so genuine and happy. It's a side photo but his eyes are sparkling, "What's he smiling at?" She whispers. The place looked familiar, "That's our high school, right?" Hayn said while looking at the photo as well.
