Telling each other about life and experiences of each other, that's what happened to Raymond and Kareen since last ti until their dinner was over. They continued chatting in the living room while enjoying the snacks that Kareen had provided.
"By the way, why don't you invite Monica to this dinner?" asked Raymond who was sitting on a yellowish-white chair opposite Kareen who was across from a glass table.
Instead of answering, Kareen bent her face as if feeling sad about Raymond's question. huh, what's wrong with her? Is she acting?
"Kareen, what's wrong with my question?" asked Raymond with an investigating gaze.
"No, but I ... I don't know how to say it," Kareen replied hesitantly.
"Just say it," said Raymond angrily. "What happened between you and her?"
Kareen took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. She straightened her head back to look at Raymond who looked so curious. "Monica and I only get close in the office."
"You guys don't get close? Why?" Raymond looked incredulous.
"I don't know. Since she was promoted and I took her place as secretary, she has beco unfriendly to ," Kareen answered liedly with a sad expression on her face. Jeez! How could she even slander Monica who was helping her get a job and letting her stay temporarily in her apartnt, Damn clueless girl!
"Unfriendly? That's impossible. As far as I know, Monica is a humble, friendly girl and she cares about those closest to her. " Raymond still doesn't believe it, because he has known Monica for a long ti. Even since Bryana moved to Jakarta and managed the company, since then he has also known Monica.
Kareen smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, she's typical as you call it. But lately, she's been very angry with . I don't know what's wrong with , but I feel unwanted to live in her apartnt. therefore, I imdiately moved after getting a new apartnt with a rental price that suits my pocket. "
Raymond let out a rough breath. Glanced at Kareen with pity. "If you don't mind, I can reprimand her. you are sisters, it is not good to just be quiet with an uncomfortable heart. Don't let yourselves get caught in the cold war."
"No need," Kareen exclaid imdiately, then returned to bending her face. "I don't want her to dislike even more because I have shown his true attitude. Let try to approach her again," she continued.
"Hem. I hope your friendship will improve soon. You have to find out what was your fault or her fault. don't let sothing like this drag on for a long ti, it's not good because you are siblings and co-workers, " Raymond exclaid sadly. He looked at Kareen with a look of pity and admiration. Because she could be independent even though she lived in a narrow and simple apartnt.
"Yes, thanks for the advice." Kareen breathed a sigh of relief.
Raymond nodded and smiled. There was silence for a few monts, they enjoyed snacks and drank hot tea. Sotis they glanced at each other and smiled when they accidentally t their eyes.
"Kareen. I ... I want to tell you sothing," said Raymond with a shy smile.
"Yes, just say it," exclaid Kareen.
"I'm looking for a future wife," said Raymond then reached out his right hand to grab Kareen's hand. "I think, the right future wife is you."
"?" Kareen looked surprised.
"Yes, you. I was excited to you the first ti I saw you." Raymond clarified and his gaze beca sad. "I thought about giving up because you were always avoiding but tonight, I feel you gave a spark of love to ignite my dark heart. Why are you doing all this? "
Kareen got nervous and pulled the hand Raymond was holding. "I ... I didn't an ... I invited you as an apology because I ignored you ."
Raymond fell silent with pain in his heart. He looked at Kareen who was suddenly anxious. "Is it only because of that?"
"Yeah, I didn't an to make you like , because that's impossible," Kareen explained.
Raymond frowns as if he doesn't understand what Kareen ant. "What do you an?"
"I'm just a poor girl and you are a handso man who has everything. Monica always says soone like doesn't deserve you, and I think it's true I don't deserve you because Monica is insecure, sa with ?" Kareen even taunts Monica again. What does she want?
"Who cares? I never judge soone in terms of material or social status. I am a man, I have the right to choose and make the woman who is my life partner happy with what I have. I don't need a girl who is my equal. It's not important, it's not a necessity!" Raymond emphasized sowhat angrily. "And if Monica is like that, just let her. You should listen to your heart!"
"I think she likes you too. So, I don't want you to be close to , or she will get hurt." Kareen spoke with her face bent. The sight of Raymond, who looked displeased, made her guts fall.
"Who cares? If she likes , she should never ignore ." Raymond looks away, staring at the whitewashed wall where there is a photo of Kareen and Monica.
Kareen frowned. "Have you been in a relationship with her?" She asked.
"No," Raymond said curtly, then glanced intently at Kareen. "Forget about Monica. Now answer my question. Do you have a love for ?"
Kareen lowered her face and leaned her shoulders against the chair. "I don't know," she replied angrily.
Raymond let out a rough breath, then got up from the chair. "If you don't know, I'll find out. I'll go see Monica warn her not to keep making you feel inferior!"
Kareen fell silent. Raymond imdiately walked towards the main door of the apartnt with annoyance at Monica, he thought Kareen already liked him, and Monica ssed things up.
"Raymond, wait!" exclaid Kareen as she got up from the chair.
"Why?" asked Raymon curtly without turning his head.
"Don't bla Monica," cried Kareen who was already standing behind Raymond.
Raymond turned to stare at Kareen intensely, placing both hands on Kareen's shoulders. "I hate provocateurs the most, and she's brainwashed you into giving up expecting . Isn't that right?"
"She's not wrong. Here I am the hypocrite, I who are too afraid to step in to love you." Kareen looked down and showed sadness on her face. "I'm afraid to fall in love with a rich man like you. I'm afraid that soday I'll just be ignored when you feel bored."
Raymond fell silent looking at Kareen with a probing gaze. His eyes tried to search for the truth that the girl had revealed. "Do you love ?"
Kareen was silent but nodded slowly. Raymond imdiately pulled Kareen into his arms, kissing her forehead affectionately.
"Raymond!" Kareen released Raymond's embrace.
"Why? Are you going to let love be neglected when it finds a partner?" Raymond asked irritably, then grabbed Kareen's shoulder. "I love you too, Kareen. Don't care what anyone says. You even saw how Dean loved Bryana. Even though he's only a bodyguard, he still has the confidence to make Bryana happy. Don't look at yourself just because of an entity, status .... That's so annoying! "
