I've Pawned Myself In Heaven On Earth

Brian's Apartment

Creak!

The two men who initially saw each other turned their heads towards the sound, where the door to the room that Brian was about to open turned out to be open first.

Gretta stood there with her arms crossed, smiling a little as if she had heard nothing before the two of them.

"What's wrong? Why are your faces like that?" asked Gretta, hiding her displeased face well behind her angelic mask.

Chiko was the first to answer with a shake of her head. "Nothing, just asking if your identity has been given or not."

After saying that Chiko decided to sit down, he went back to Gretta with a regretful heart for lying to that woman, the woman he liked.

"Oh! What do you think, if you already have an identity? Isn't that right, Bri?" Gretta said, looking at Brian still with a small smile and a nod she accepted.

"Yes of course."

Brugh!

Chiko casually sat on the sofa, glanced at a laptop that was turned off as well as what was next to it, then turned towards the door.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"This is going to eat," Gretta replied as she walked over to the sofa and sat down next to the man who asked. "I was going to eat, but you came in a hurry and yes, that's it," she added, explaining, then grabbed the sealed lunch box and opened it.

"Ow."

There was no further response, Chiko glanced at Brian with an eyebrow raised, making the man he was staring at look away and entered the room without a word being said.

Slam!

The atmosphere in the living room was quiet, only Gretta could be seen enjoying her meal, while Chiko chose to stroke the mane and the owner of the mane glared, though she didn't deny it.

Not long after, the door opened again and Brian looked relaxed in a change of clothes.

He sat on the single sofa, watching with a burning heart as his friend played with the mane and the woman herself was silent.

Jealous, but never mind, even though he said the words like and love, he still couldn't have the woman completely.

"I'm leaving with Chiko, Bri. Thank you for your help," Gretta said after finishing her meal.

"Can't I just take it?" Brian offered hope, but unfortunately Gretta shook her head.

"No, I'm with Chiko."

"The car will be faster, baby," said Brian adamantly.

"It's okay, Bri. You better rest, I've bothered you with my request," repeated Gretta explaining.

She smiled gently, seducing the handsome man on the single sofa there who finally nodded, ignoring the sharp glances of the other men.

Seems like he doesn't like it, when the woman is called baby by his own friends.

"Fine if that's what you want," Brian said relentlessly.

Gretta smiled happily hearing that, then turned to Chiko whose face was flat, sour.

"Come on, let's go!"

"Yes."

Gretta stood up first and grabbed the small bag she was carrying, followed by Chiko and Brian who escorted the two of them to the front door.

Brian also only watched from behind as the two people walked side by side, though not hand in hand like a couple.

It wasn't until the two of them got into the elevator that Brian closed the door to his apartment.

Slam!

Ding!

Gretta and Chiko got out of the elevator together, then walked towards the lobby door leaving the luxurious apartment on the outskirts of this city.

The two of them walked side by side, without a vehicle and using only their feet to the club where they worked.

"Why not accept Brian's offer? Why would you prefer to walk with me?" Chiko asked without turning his head.

"Why? Emh.... Just because you want to, it's healthier to walk."

"The truth is tired, not healthy.," said Chiko.

"Are you tired of walking all the time? Trying to buy a vehicle, so next time when you pick up or go with me and Geana it won't be difficult anymore," Gretta said casually.

"I can buy a car," said Chiko quickly.

"Yes, believe you. If you try, let alone a car, an airplane will definitely be bought," Gretta said as she turned her head and smiled sweetly.

"If you want-

"Not because of me! For yourself, for your own pleasure. Do whatever for yourself first, then for others, Chiko," Gretta interrupted quickly, explaining while holding the man's hand, then lifting it.

"I'm not always by your side, you know that I've pawned myself to heaven on earth . So, don't expect too much from me, okay, Chiko. You have to get another woman who is more everything than me."

Chiko paused and stopped in her steps, making Gretta stop as well and then look at the man with a small smile.

"It's okay, as long as you haven't found her you can be with me, but don't protest with my wish," added Gretta, adding more salt to Chiko's wound.

How could I let you go, Chiko thought sadly.

"Come on! Ana must be waiting for us. Ah! After the debt is finished, don't worry, we will have cell phones, so we can still keep in touch via messages and calls."

Gretta spoke again, this time while pulling Chiko's hand so that she walked back to where they worked

Finally, Gretta and Chiko continued their journey in silence, even though their hands are now intertwined.

Club Red Rose City M

Geana is seen standing in front of the entrance, waiting for her sister to arrive, who has been at Brian's apartment since afternoon taking care of her identity, without going home first.

"Tsk! Where are the two of them," Geana muttered impatiently.

Her lips were bitten nervously, before finally heaving a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them at the end of the road.

Ah! Finally...

"Nanda! You better hurry up, put on make-up, here are the tools and I'll be waiting at the bar counter like yesterday," said Geana when the two people she was waiting for arrived in front of her.

"Okay! Wait for me there, just a moment," Gretta said without wasting time, immediately took the small bag that Geana held out and left the two without waiting for an answer.

Geana and Chiko were left who were also about to leave the woman. But they had to stop and stop when they heard a classic question.

"Your face looks sour."

"It's nothing, it's been like this from the start," Chiko answered without turning his head.

"Did she do something that upset you?"

Geana asked again, but this time it was only a short answer and the man stepped back, entered the club area and left her alone.

"Nothing."

"Tsk! Actually, what's wrong with them, I'm always the last one to know what happened to my own sister," Geana grumbled, looking at the man's leather jacket-covered back with an irritated glare.

The toilet

different from Geana grumbling in front of the entrance, in front of the inside mirror. The toilet itself has Gretta who is putting a light powder on her face.

She looks serious with her make-up activities, without realizing that several people have entered and locked the door and then stand behind her with a look of disapproval.

Tap!

"Well, look who's beautifying herself here."
