“Why?! If your excuse is because we are not in a relationship then let's make it official so you can marry me. If you think about my brother Kier, well, he gave up to my stubbornness and he will accept it sooner. He can't do anything if we are already married… Jase, marry me, now!” I demanded him.
He stops from what he is doing and looks at him in disbelief. “Layla, don't lower yourself because of me. I really can't marry you, right now.”
“Why can't you?!” I yelled. “Why?! Because you don't love me?!” I said it like a reproach. “And what does that kiss mean?! You just kissed me because you are bored?!” I am suppressing my tears. He hurt me for how many times yet I am standing strong and still chasing him despite how hurted I am and lowering myself so much for him.
He didn't answer me.
“And the things that you did for me, are those are nothing to you? What about the flowers and meeting my family? How about when you are fetching me from work?!” I am yelling.
“Why is it hard for you to love me?!” If I can just teach my hurt who it should love, I did it, a long time ago. Why is loving someone so hurt and complicated? Why?!
Why can't he just love me wholeheartedly?
He turned down my proposal many times, and because Layla is not giving up that easily, until I didn’t get what I want I am here again, proposing to him again. I smiled bitterly, I can’t count on how many times he rejected me.
He wipes my tears but I push his hand harshly.
“I will court and marry at the right time, I want to be the one who will propose to you.” He said in a deep baritone voice.
He is giving me hope again.
Why is it hard to love?
Why do we need to experience hurtful situations to be happy in the end?
Why do I need to feel this?
“Daddy!”
Kier just arrived in Europe in Italy. He didn’t waste any time and see his friend.
“Fiero.” Conrad greeted him and they did fist bump. He removed his sunglasses. He has jet lag but he doesn't mind. Business is more important. He can rest later and call his wife before going to bed.
“Where the hell is Yeyuhda?”
He traveled from Asia to Europe.
“Who’s calling me?” a deep dark voice heard from upstairs and a masculine man came from it. A tattoo all over his body, he was just wearing a sleeveless shirt.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Yuyahda asked Kier.
Yuyahda has access in Black market.
“Dimwit, you're not answering my emails.”
“Oh, that?” He scratched his nape. “I Haven’t opened my emails and I am busy.” He reasoned.
“No, he is busy with his woman.” Conrad whispered and they all heard that. It’s not actually a whisper.
Kier furrowed.
Y tapped Conrad's abdomen and he sat on the sofa and they followed him.
“What the hell are you doing here again, Conrad?” Y, raises his eyebrow.
“I’m here again to eat. I am damn hungry.”
Y gets a beer near the small refrigerator, there’s a small refrigerator since he lazy goto to the bar counter so he decided to put a refrigerator near the table.
“You have been here since last week.” Y voice is in accusation.
“You’re woman is good at cooking.” He lazily replied.
“Leave my woman alone, Conrad.” He said seriously.
Conrad whispered to Kier who’s sitting beside him. “He gets that woman from the auction, he bid Billion dollars just to get that woman. He spends a lot of money just for a girl.” Y clearly heard what Conrad whispered. It’s loud and clear.
“Stop with that woman! You dimwit. Stop making accusations and conclusions.” Y open all the beer on the table.
“Nate will be here. He will follow me, he will just fix something.” Kier started.
“What do you guys want from us?” Conrad became serious.
Y gets a cigar from his pocket pants and offers them but Kier refuses.
“I’m planning to change roads. Being Police is quite boring. I need extra challenges and benefits. I need money.” Kier spoke.
“You’re damn rich, what would you ask for?” confusion is written on Y’s face.
“We’re planning to invest.” Kier is really determined.
Y emitted a smoke from the cigar.
“Black market is dangerous and besides, the mafia is protecting us.” Conrad explained.
“I can help you with one.” Y refused so easily. “If you come here for that matter you can go home.”
“I know what I am doing, Y.” Kier relaxed himself. “I know you are one of the highest ranks in black market, Y” Kier poured a beer in his glass. “I did my research and I won’t join this kind of thing if I didn’t think about it well.”
“You’re just putting yourself in danger.” Conrad sighed.
“I am about the money here.” Kier stated.
“And Nate is interested too?” Y asked.
Kier did not answer.
“10 Million is the starting price if you want to invest.” Y
“What?!” Conrad. “What the hell? 3 million dollars is enough.”
Y didn’t mind Conrad's reaction. “I’ll let you invest and help you get inside and I’ll protect your identity and of course, I need to get in return. 10 Million dollars is nothing compared to the money that you’re going to receive. It will grow 20 times.” He explains.
Kier tsked.
“You have a peaceful life if I am not mistaken. Why drag yourself in our mess? Don't join us, Fiero. Our life is already a mess and you wouldn't like to experience hell.” Y advised.
Kier saw the badge in his shoulder..
“Why would I put myself in chaos? Wherein you’re there to protect me. C’mon this is just investing Y, I won’t interfere with the business inside and I have my wife. I won’t let her implicate this one. You will do your business and grow my money.”
Y shakes his head. “You’re really an asshole. I thought you’re planning to be one of us?!” That is what he knows and this is what Conrad told him. Black market is dirty and risky. If you are stupid in just snap a finger you’re life will be the replacement of your stupidity. Y is protecting a government and government officials. They are all under him.
“I changed my mind and I'm here to visit my business and plan to build another one.” He simply said.
“Send the money tomorrow together with the money with Nate. The bigger it is, the better.” Y tsk.
Their money will be returned in a gold bar. He is doing dirty business outside and inside the black market. He had been
“We’re planning to visit Asia for relaxation and to see others.” Conrad announcement. “Since you are here, we will go there together.”
They haven’t remembered how they met each other and on how they became friends but, they only remember is, they have common friends or one interest connected them
