The sound of the cell phone ringing woke Tristan who had just fallen asleep. He sat on the edge of the bed and took the phone that was placed on the nightstand. His brow furrowed at the caller's name. He put his phone back and refused to take the call.
However, the phone kept ringing, much to Tristan's vengeance and forced to answer the call.
"Hello, what do you want?" said Tristan in a cold tone full of stress in every tone of his voice.
"Honey, what are you doing? Still mad at me?" asked Stevi, spoiled from the other end of the phone.
Yes, the phone call that made Tristan angry was a call from Stevi. Tristan just snorted at the soft words from Stevi's lips. Tristan answered after several deep breaths. He tried to contain his emotions when the word love came out. He used to really like Stevi's affectionate calls, but now it's different. Tristan's heart that had been hurt now became hateful to hear it.
"Stevi Amanda Sari, do you think ... you deserve to ask such a disgusting thing now? You are not the right person, so I will be angry with you. To me, you ... never existed. Don't be too confident to call me with such ridiculous nicknames," said Tristan with a smirk.
"I know you're still angry. I won't give up on chasing you back, honey. See you, this afternoon," said Stevi ending the voice call.
Praang!
Tristan slams his phone on the floor until it shatters. His anger peaked when he heard Stevi innocently call him with affection like five years ago. Stevi also said she wanted to chase Tristan without shame.
"Miss Sin!" called Tristan with a scream that made his voice echo throughout the room.
Sinta, who was preparing breakfast in the dining room, could hear it clearly.
"Yul, you continue to arrange the food on the table," Sinta ordered Yuli.
"Okay, Senior Sin," Yuli replied.
Sinta immediately ran to Tristan's room.
The sound of something breaking and Tristan's scream also woke Haruna from her dream. Only in a dream she could meet her family and now that dream was shattered by Tristan's screams.
"You high blood grandpa. It's still morning screaming." Haruna sneered. Haruna lazily got up and stepped into the bathroom. She stared at her reflection in the large mirror that was attached to the bathroom wall. Haruna saw the bruises on her neck. The wound from Stevi's strangulation yesterday afternoon seemed to have faded after Tristan treated it with ointment. She doesn't know what ointment Tristan applied. Haruna recalled when Tristan's finger applied the medicine, it moved slowly and very carefully. As if he was afraid that Haruna would feel pain if Tristan rubbed it too hard.
"He must be drunk, how could he have done it if he wasn't drunk, crazy?" Haruna muttered. She stepped into the bathtub which was already filled with cold water. Haruna doesn't like hot baths because they don't feel fresh, after bathing they feel hot and make her sweat. She soaked in water that had been mixed with jasmine essence.
While Tristan was still sitting on the edge of the bed in his room.
"Tell Levi to buy me a new cell phone and number. Tell him too, don't take too long," Tristan said.
"Okay, sir," said Sinta while picking up the scattered cellphone fragments.
"She, is she awake?"
"You mean, Miss Haruna? Do you really like Miss Haruna?" asked Sinta to be sure.
"Are you so old that you are so slow to understand my questions?" Tristan looked at Sinta in annoyance. He could not answer Sinta's question honestly. Answering the question in his heart alone, Tristan still couldn't.
Sinta just smiled with Tristan's anger. She never takes Tristan's words seriously, because Sinta already knows what her employer's nature and personality are like.
"Miss Haruna hasn't woken up yet. I'll wake her up now," said Sinta.
"No need. I'll wake her up. Just keep on working, Miss Sin," Tristan said.
Sinta just nodded before leaving Tristan's room.
Tristan washed his face then went to Haruna's room. When Tristan came in, he didn't see Haruna on his bed. His heart skipped a beat, a feeling of anxiety welled up in his heart. He was worried that Haruna would try to commit suicide again. Tristan ran to the balcony and looked down. He only saw two guards, his heart calmed a little. However, the thought of Haruna drowning in the bathtub made her worry again. Tristan immediately ran towards the bathroom.
Check!
"Aahhhh!"
Haruna crossed her arms across her chest, she tried to cover the twin hills that Tristan saw.
"You bastard! What do you want? Go!" Haruna shouted to chase Tristan away, but instead of going, Tristan came closer towards the bath. Haruna became more and more scared seeing Tristan getting closer. She had forgotten that Tristan was not a person who could be ordered just like that.
"It's terrible! Is he offended by what I said? I beg God, please save me," Haruna thought. Haruna's body trembled in fear as Tristan reached out his hand. Haruna closed her eyes tightly, she was really scared. Even though her body was submerged in water, her upper body was perfectly exposed. Haruna's two hands couldn't even cover her sizable twin hills.
Tristan dipped his hand in the water and his eyes widened as he felt the temperature of the water in the tub. His eyes reddened, Tristan's blood churned and his anger broke out. With emotion, Tristan grabbed Haruna's hand and pulled her up.
"Wake up!" rebuked Tristan in a deafening voice.
Plaque!
Haruna immediately sat back down in the bath.
"You! How dare you slap me!" Tristan shouted and pulled Haruna's hand back.
"Tristan, let go of me! I don't want to wake up," Haruna replied while holding on to the edge of the bathtub with one hand. Haruna struggled to get Tristan to let go of her hand, he tried his best to keep her body from getting out of the bath.
"You took a cold shower on purpose because you tried to kill yourself again, huh!" cursed Tristan.
"I don't like hot baths, who want to kill themselves. You bastard!" Haruna answered with a no less loud voice.
Tristan let go of Haruna's hand awkwardly. He had misunderstood Haruna, he even forced Haruna to get up from the bath. Tristan immediately turned his back to Haruna.
"Quickly get out of the bathroom or I'll force you out! I'll be waiting in front of the bathroom," Tristan said as he stepped out of the bathroom. Don't forget Tristan also closed the bathroom door.
"You bast*rd!" Haruna shouted as Tristan came out without apologizing at all.
His name wasn't Tristan, if he wanted to admit he was wrong. Tristan doesn't want to apologize even though he knows what he did was wrong. It was too embarrassing for him to say sorry. He just stood frozen in front of the bathroom door. Waiting for Haruna to get out of there. His heart was pounding remembering the incident earlier, when Haruna stood up before slapping him. That beautiful and pure white body aroused his desire. His magic wand also reacted, making Tristan feel awkward. He took a deep breath and exhaled a few times to calm his excitement.
