Bernard

The girl was obviously shocked when she saw Arielle. Arielle is sure about one thing. She was the woman who bumped into him. She the girl with the man she called 'babe'. He can't be wrong. He's sure about it. That indicates the girl is cheating on Alain.

The girl even looked at Arielle. He's sure Alain doesn't know the what his girlfriend is doing. He needs to know about it so Arielle waited for him at the stairs. Luckily Alain came without the girl so he confronted him.

"Alain, you need to know something about the girl you just accompanied earlier."

"That's my girlfriend. What about her?"

"She's fooling you! She's dating another guy." Arielle became nervous and he didn't know why.

"What did you say?" The expression on Alain's face changed.

"T-that's true. I saw her at the mall. She was with another man. They even called each other babe and then - -"

"MY GIRLFRIEND WILL NEVER DO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING! IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE INTO NOW? DESTROYING RELATIONSHIPS ?!" he raised his voice. Alain is very mad. Arielle began to breathe heavily due to the tightness of Alain's grip on his shirt.

"What I've told you is true." even though Arielle had speaks difficulty, he was able to say it clear to Alain.

"F * CK! I thought Diether was right that you were different from them, but I proved you were worse than other gays. Tell me, are you tired of flirting with Diether so you are now destroying our relationship?" For the second time, Arielle slapped him. Arielle is crying.

"I'm just saying what is true, but I'm the one who turns out to be bad here." Arielle is crying heavily, because of Alain. Alain realizes that and removed his tight grip on Arielle's shirt, and Arielle instantly ran and left Alain. He doesn't want to receive other hurtful words from him.

He is crying again, because of Alain.

Arielle went back to the parking lot. He just remembered that Edrien is waiting there. He wiped away his tears and hopefully, Edrien won't notice that he cried.

"Let's go? Wait, are you crying?"

"No, I'm just tired. I just wanna go home so bad. Let's go?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Let's go."

As expected, Edrien offer a ride and drove Arielle home. When they arrived, Adrian ran towards his brother and got a little bit confused why Arielle is with another man.

"Who is that guy?" Adrian ask his brother.

"He's my classmate. He wants to meet you"

Edrien stayed at Arielle's place for about an hour. He played with Adrian and had a good time with him. Adrian reminds him of his younger brother who died few years ago. Adrian also had a good time talking and playing with Edrien. He feels comfortable with his brother's friend.

Before leaving, Edrien hugs Adrian and promised to come back sooner. He even thanked Arielle for letting him meet his brother. He is very thankful that he met a young boy, a loving one, who reminds him of his brother.

It's Sunday. Since there are no classes, Arielle thought of taking Adrian to the coffee shop, so that he can watch over him more. He consulted to his boss first. He quickly reconciled as well as his co-workers, especially KC, him and Adrian are very close. KC actually volunteered that he would just take care of Adrian in his office.

"Ummm .. Arielle, can you take the order of those two? They've been fighting since they arrived. That girl is scary." Lance said while pointing at the man and woman sitting on the left side of the coffee shop. The girl was facing their direction and then the guy is facing opposite to them. Good thing they don't have many customers yet because for sure, like Arielle, they will also be annoyed with the girl.

"Okay." He's getting closer to the girl and from afar, you can hear its loud voice.

"So this is the solution you want to do? To break up with me? The hell, babe!" the girl said loudly with a slap on the table.

"Why not? It's the only thing I see to end all your quarrels, doubts and confrontations about nonsense things. It's boring, CHRISTINE. I don't want to always fight and argue with you anymore. Let's stop this." The guy said calmly. So it's the girl to blame.

"Ah .. Excuse me, Sir, Ma'am .. may I hav- - -"

"Can't you see we're talking ?!" The girl angrily said.

"I'm sorry." Arielle still have to control himself especially he's in the middle of his work.

"I think you're just a new staff here. The one I usually order, that's what I will order." said the handsome guy. Arielle blushed.

"Two minutes Sir. Excuse me."

"And you still managed to order?" He even heard the girl's rant.

"Ummm .. Jansen, do you know who that person was? He said that he will have what he usually orders."

"That's Bernard. A cappuccino, cold orange juice with no ice, and a slice of dark chocolate cake."

"I didn't notice it was Bernard." Lance added.

"Who's that?" Arielle asked them.

"You don't know Bernard?" Jansen laughed at him.

"I'll tell you later. Take these to Daddy Bernard first."

Well, Arielle find that Bernard is kinda interesting. Handsome, pointed nose, brown eyes.

"Fine! If that's what you want!" Arielle heard that girl's annoying voice again. Scandalous girl, that's what Arielle is thinking right now.

"Excuse me Sir. Here's - - -" the girl suddenly pulled away the tray Arielle was holding, and the juice and coffee spilled to Arielle's clothes.

"Can't you see we're talking? Go away!" She's about to slap Arielle when the guy grabbed her hand that should have landed on Arielle face. Due to what happened, they now have everyone's attention.

"Is that what you're saying I shouldn't let go of? You're just showing me that it's the right thing to broke up with you." The guy said seriously.

"What happened here?" KC has arrived with Arielle's brother.

"Brother, what did she do to you?"

"Adrian, let's go. It is forbidden for a child to see and hear." Lance pulled Adrian away.

"First of all Christine, please leave. Before I let my guards drag you out, or I will pull you out myself." KC is also serious about what happened. Arielle instantly felt embarrassed by what happened.

And since Christine had no choice, she left the coffee shop. If Arielle hadn't been able to hold back his anger, it would have been a war.

"Are you okay?" KC suddenly asked.

"You idiot, why didn't you stop your dragon-like girlfriend from scandalizing my coffeeshop?" KC slightly punch Bernard on his shoulders. Arielle got confused if they know each other.

"That's why I broke up with her." Bernard replied

"Woah! It's good that you already did what's right1"

"By the way, Arielle, he's Bernard. He's one of my best friends."

"Hello. I'm sorry for what happened." Arielle blushed.

"No, it's my ex's fault. I'm the one who apologizes for what she did to you."

"Arielle, I have an extra shirt in the office. You can use it for the meantime."

"Thank you Sir."

"Come with me and I will help you get dressed." Bernard added..
