Chapter 14. Uncovered

The next day at the Adijaya family residence, Luis woke up late today. Luis rushed into the bathroom, he didn't want to look creased in front of Winda. After a few minutes, Luis came out of the bathroom wearing a white kimono towel with dark gray trim on each edge, ruffling his wet hair.

Kyaaaaa!

Luis immediately raised his head, then he chuckled at the response shown by Winda. A few minutes ago when Luis was still in the bathroom, Winda had arrived and was told to wait in the room by Niko.

Luis thought about teasing Winda, Luis walked over to Winda, who still closed his eyes with his hands.

"Winda, you've come" whispered Luis in Winda's ear.

"What are you trying to do? Stop, don't get close," said Winda as she stepped back, but her legs hit the chair and fell backward. With Luis swiftly holding Winda's body that was about to fall, Luis embraced Winda's waist.

"Aaaahh ..." screamed Winda who was surprised to fall into spasm.

For a moment the two of them met their eyes, Luis looked cool and charming when his hair was wet, Luis slowly brought his face closer to Winda who looked attractive this morning. Winda was carried away by the charm of Luis. Now only a few inches distance between them.

The test ...

A drop of water from Luis's hair fell right in Winda's eyes, Winda suddenly woke up and pushed Luis's body. The two of them stood up straight again and showed each other's awkwardness.

"Um ... You better wear clothes first," said Winda.

"Are you annoyed?".

Winda was silent because she didn't know what to answer, Winda's cheeks flushed. Looks like Luis can interpret it.

"Change the bandages first, while I was thinking about what clothes to fit," Luis said, smiling mischievously.

Obviously, Luis wants to tease Winda. Luis really likes to be ignorant of Winda, for Luis to see Winda's flushed cheeks make him happy.

One hour later Luis was dressed casually to be home. After breakfast, Luis asked Winda to do therapy earlier because this afternoon he had a meeting outside. During therapy and walking practice, Luis took this opportunity to chat more closely with Winda. Winda also used the opportunity to ask something that had been bothering her.

"Um ... Luis, may I ask? But you have to answer honestly" asked Winda, getting used to speaking informally.

"Ask," said Luis.

"What's my fault so you always make fun of me," asked Winda seriously.

"I don't know the direction of your question," said Luis, confused.

Winda began to explain what she meant, namely from the beginning of the incident in the VIP room. Why suddenly without them knowing each other before Luis did that, then he was told to be a personal nurse for a patient whose injuries weren't so bad, and Luis had helped him when he was about to fall.

"You lied by pretending you couldn't walk without help, right? Shouldn't your leg still hurt while helping me when I was about to fall?" Winda asked repeatedly.

"Ah, you are quite smart. It is not easy to lie to you." Luis couldn't help it anymore. "I just need a reason to be able to approach you," Luis said sincerely.

Winda looked at Luis in surprise, he did not think that Luis would say that.

Niko approached when the atmosphere was so awkward, notifying that there was a call from Miss Lisa. Luis immediately received the cell phone Niko had given him and started talking to Lisa. It turned out that Lisa had returned to Malaysia early in the morning when Luis hadn't woken up from his sleep. Lisa only gave a message on her call that Luis immediately thought about what they talked about last night.

Phew ... Luis breathes a sigh of relief after closing his conversation with Lisa on the phone. Finally, he could be free from the witch. All control returned to his hands.

This morning in the parking lot of Kencana Medika Hospital, a red car was parked not far from the emergency department. Ari left the department after the night watch. Jesika immediately called Ari's cellphone number after seeing Ari walking towards the parking lot. Jesika gestured Ari to get into his car. Ari was surprised, this was the first time Jesika met him at the hospital after they officially had a relationship.

When Ari and Jesika chatted and occasionally kissed, Intan saw him from a distance, at first he only saw Ari's direction going because he was surprised because Ari was heading for another car, not his own. Then Intan even caught him making out in the car with another woman.

Jesika asks Ari to accompany him for a walk, even Jesika doesn't allow Ari to go home even if it's just to change clothes. Jesika prefers to buy Ari new clothes as well as hang out in boutiques and have lunch together.

"Accompany me, honey? I need fresh air, my parents' business really makes me tired. Want it ... please ..." if flirting.

Ari also agreed to Jesika's wish because there would always be benefits behind it. Ari likes to accompany Jesika everywhere even though the woman is a bit fussy, but at least Ari never spends any money, instead, she can get a lot of money from him.

Winda feels bored in the house, there isn't much she can do. Even though it is tiring because of a lot of work, Winda prefers to work in the hospital. Suddenly Winda's cellphone rang, a call from Intan.

"[Nda, you know what I saw this morning?]" Asked Intan.

"I don't know, I'm not with you, you weird" replied Winda.

"[I saw Ari was picked up by a woman, they even got in the car, then who knows where to go]" reported Intan.

"Maybe it's her cousin, ah, I'm still at work," Winda immediately hung up on Intan.

It was already noon, Luis decided to go to a meeting with Niko, he canceled his intention to invite Winda to participate in the meeting this afternoon because this meeting was so important and it would take a long time, Luis felt sorry if Winda had to be beside him frozen for a few hours, it must be really boring. So Luis prefers to go with Niko, but Winda remains at home and cannot come home before her work hours are up.

Luis has already left with Niko, Winda remembers Intan's words, Winda decided to go out to meet Ari at his house, Ari came home from work at night, surely he is sleeping right now, thought Winda.

He wanted to prove Intan's report because his best friend was often mischievous too. Winda felt that it was okay to go out because Luis said earlier that the meeting would belong. Forty-five minutes later, Winda arrived at Ari's house but there was no one else, the door was still locked.

"That means Ari hasn't come home yet, where did he go? Could it be true what Intan said? Who is the woman with Ari? Could it be that her cousin came to visit?" murmured Winda.

Meanwhile on the road not far from Ari's house. Jesika and Ari on their way home.

"Is your house still far away dear ...?" asked Jesika spoiled.

"One more aisle."

"Uhm ... I'll take a shower at your place, huh? Today's so hot ..." said Jesika while fanning her slightly open chest because her clothes were sexy. Jesika glanced a little at Ari who focused on driving his car.

"Ah, you make me hot too dear" Ari grinned.

"Hahaha ..." Jesika laughed with satisfaction to tease Ari.

They stopped in front of Ari's house, a house that was not very big but had a high, closed fence so that it could not be seen from the road. Ari also invited Jesika to enter his house, Jesika embraced Ari's arm spoiled.

When going to enter, Ari was surprised to see the gate of his house that was slightly open.

Who's coming? Ari said to himself.
