Chapter 16

David is out of the electronics store. While carrying a tote bag containing a phone that was still tightly sealed, at least David had to be paparazzi following.

Everything seemed safe, then David got back in the car. "This is lady". David held out the tote bag.

July than accepted it. "Thank you. Now take me home. After that you can meet your lover."

That sentence made David jolted. Insinuated and displeased. "Not, lady. I can meet her in another time." David refuse. Would not it be inappropriate to say yes? Feels like an irresponsible bodyguard.

"It's okay, after this I have nothing else to do. I'm only in the room until tomorrow morning."

Seen from the expression on July's face, David could tell that July was still sad. What July feels may be boredom because these few days feel like a plant that is not free to do activity.

"All right, miss. If you allow me, I will see her." The car was moving at a moderate speed. There was no conversation in it until the car reached the yard.

"Afternoon miss..." Icha greeted July while sweeping the living room. While holding a broom, Icha looked down politely.

"Afternoon Icha." July smiled. Even seen lowering his head while waving his five fingers. While July was already gazingin while clutching a bag and carrying a tote bag, Icha actually looked pensive and frozen without blinking. Without being felt the handkerchief he was holding fell to the floor to produce a fairly loud sound. That's when Icha woke up from her daydream.

Hurriedly bent down still half conscious, Icha grabbed the broom handle that fell. Shuddered quicly after standing up and then Icha patted his cheek quickly alternately. "Am I not dreaming?" still patting his cheek while blinking. "Is it really Miss July? is it true?" without feeling both Icha's eyes are teary. Not feel it, even two holes have caught my snot because i was sobbing.

"Hei!"

"Yes, what?"

Someone tapped Icha's shoulder until she jumped in surprise. The broom she was holding feel down again along with her two feet on tipetoe.

"Uh, madam. I... was daydreaming." Icha nervous

Felt gritted teeth, thinning both lips. His brows knit together tightly. "what are you thinking?"

"Ah, not madam. Nothing" quickly waved his palms. "Excuse me, madam." Bent over and grabbed a broom and hurried into the kitchen. Raising both shoulders Tesa then went inside. Instead of following Icha, but going to the room.

"Maybe July is in the room." Tesa mumbled. Open the door and then enter. "I forgot to ask David. Where he want to go." Still muttering in the quiet atmosphere of the room.

As she took off her clothes, Tesa asked again. "where did David and July go earlier, huh? Is the savety from Jordan really safe?" grabbing a towel, Tesa turned into the bathroom. While in the bathroom, her husband turned out to be home and now he in the room. Take off the coat and shirt.

Jordan's gaze looked all of the room, seen on the edge of the bed there is a bag and cell phone lying. That means Tesa was in the bathroom. Jordan's guess was right because his ears could hear the water splashing from inside the bathroom.

"Are you inside honey?" shoute Jordan.

Did not get an answer right away, but Jordan heard the sound of the water from inside the faucet stopping running. Maybe Tesa stopped it.

"Yes" she said. "Just wait, i won't be long." While Jordan is waiting for his wife to take a shower, switch first to a room on the second floor. There was a girl sitting on the balcony in a towel robe and another rolled up her wet hair.

On the balcony, sitting in a chair with a round table beside it, July was busy unpacking the box containing the cell phone that she had just bought this afternoon. Do not know , If this a concidence or not, but the phone that David bought has a colour that matches July's preferences. That is gray.

After installing the started card, July started to turn on the phone.

Apart from waiting to connect with his studio friends, July is actually very curious abaut what is being reported on the tv screen. Honestly, after that incident, July has never watched TV or social media news from her phone at all.

Starting with opening his social media account, July was immediately jolted with various posts by several people. Starting from a sweet word as if defending July, to ending in a striking post that mentions July as a woman of the night openly.

Clutching the phone that was still on, July wanted to slam it again until it was crushed to life. However, this is not the right way.

If we feel right, show it. Do not hide. Strange voices like the horns are encouraging.

"you will see my reply later." Bluff July. Her eyes were still sweeping the phone screen that kept scrolling down.

"this morning, we were shocked by the failure of the marriage of a model star in an advertisement. The failure of the marriage was due to a clear accusation that July had an affair, unfortunately, from our side, no one has been able to find out where is July. In the breakdown of a marriage." A gossip account showing news about July and Alex.

Unmoved, July remained calm. His eyes continue to stare at a video that plays automatically alternately.

"Good afternoon Mr. Alex. Can we talk for a minute?" a female reporter and several cameramen are chasing Alex. Follow him until they actually get an answer.

"Sorry, I'm busy." Was all Alex said before disappearing into his private car.

July got up from the chair. Still holding his phone, one hand on the left, pulling the glass door. Closed it until it was really tight, then after locking it July pulled the curtain so that the sun exposure in the afternoon sun did not dazzle the room.

"wait for my arrival." July said. She put the phone on the nightstand. Sitting on the edge of the bed then July slammed his body with her legs still dangling.

Took a deep breath, July's two eyes started up at the ceiling. For a moment his eyes blinked, his hands cupped his face to throw away all the bad images.

"I'm innocent. I'm not having an affair. I don't want people out there to think of me as a slut."

July looked down again. Shifting her ass closer the nightstand beside the bed.

Grabbed the phone, then July dialled someone's number. Fortunately, the previous July had saved all the numbers or important people, so contacting them was not difficult.

"Pick me up around nine." Says immediately when the phone is connected.

Didn't give the other person a chance to talk, July then disconnected the call. Put it back on the nightstand, then crawled on the bed, close her eyes, rest the body that feels very tired.
