Chapter 20

TURN Reza bring Laras go to one of the big malls in the city of Seoul. Reza deliberately didn't tell Laras so that Laras would be quiet without protesting. He immediately got off first when he just turned off the engine of his car, and Reza immediately ran to open the door for Laras and help her get out, his left hand protecting Laras's head from hitting him. While the other hand he left to be a handle for Laras.

"Thank you."

"It's okay, it's okay if I brought you here? I have an appointment with Rara. While we're out for a walk, haven't you ever gone out during your stay at my house?"

"Yeah it's fine, isn't it my duty to accompany you?"

Reza shook his head

"It's not a chore, so put your mind to it."

Reza gently grabbed Laras's left hand to lead him to walk together into the mall, Reza took Laras to one of the cafeterias to wait for Rara's arrival.

"What do you want to eat Laras?"

"me?"

"Yeah, who else can I ask."

Laras smiled.

"No need, I'm full Reza"

"No-no, you need to eat something. Poor baby. I know when people get pregnant they'll want one of those foods, so why not you?"

"Hmmm...maybe because my baby knows his Mama's situation, so he's not too fussy about asking for something."

"Really? Then let me treat today, you can eat whatever you want. Wait here, I'll order it for you."

Before Reza moved towards the place of ordering, Laras grabbed his hand first.

"Not too much, just enough."

Reza nodded slowly.

"Yes"

Laras seemed to be observing the activities of the people who were now passing by outside the cafeteria as well as those who were inside waiting for the food to arrive just like himself, in the direction of the order Reza was busy ordering with his cell phone stuck to his ear. Maybe Rara who was on the phone, was busy observing his surroundings, Laras's gaze was distracted by his cell phone ringing because of an incoming message.

Laras finally lowered her head to reply to the incoming message, less than a minute a reply was returned by Laras, she was increasingly confused about what to answer.

TUK...

Laras looked up again when she heard the sound of a tray being placed in front of her, and it turned out to be Reza who had already gotten food for her.

"Busy replying to whose messages? Until you don't know that I'm back." Reza asked, sitting back down.

Reza was silent.

"Owww__like that. Well just keep going."

Reza's expression immediately changed, he also immediately took his cell phone to call Rara again.

In a meeting room , Rio moved his feet restlessly. Just now he apologized to Dinda, but now? The monitor in front of him even showed Laras's smiling face at him. Rio shook his head noisily to bring his consciousness back to his mind.

His free hand took his cell phone in his inner jacket pocket, with his eyes occasionally looking at the large monitor on the opposite end of his desk he skillfully typed something into his cell phone. To contact someone, Laras. Even now, he forgot the last time what he said to Laras when he gave his wife a personal cell phone.

_where are you?

Laras

I'm at a mall,

Now I'm waiting,

Reza is ordering food

We both are waiting for Rara,

He said there was an appointment, what's wrong Rio?

Rio chuckled softly, why did Laras have to eat out? Does he not eat at home instead Laras cooks? But one thing he didn't think about anymore, luckily Laras wasn't alone with Reza, at least Rara was there. Rio went back to typing something.

What did you order?

Don't eat weird stuff ?

(Send).

" Wait ! Why did I send it?!" Rio unconsciously shouted while the meeting was running.

"Boss, boss." Rizal who was in a chair not far from Rio tried to call Rio who suddenly shouted

Rio seemed to wake up. He immediately turned off his cell phone.

"Kheemm...sorry. Please continue." He ordered the others, Rio took a deep breath to normalize his forked mind again, not forgetting to drink the water that had been prepared on his table.

"Is Laras going to reply him? What a shame." – Rio.

.

.

Rara, who had just arrived, immediately joined Reza and Laras who were eating their food.

"Ow yeah...we haven't met. My name is Rara." Rara held out her hand as a sign of the introduction of her and Laras.

"Laras."

"Wow__I didn't expect Reza to be so docile towards you, wasn't the last time he yelled at you in front of the campus? Aigoo___ actually I wanted to beat him up at that time. He was a bit annoying."

"Rara." Reza said with a threatening look at Rara.

"Hehehe...sorry, but, may I ask you Reza."

"What?"

"Is it because of Laras that you can move on from your ex?"

Reza glanced at Laras and Rara in turn.

"Reza you have an ex? I just found out. Your ex must be beautiful." Laras said with a smile towards Reza.

"I don't want to talk about it here, you've forgotten it too."

"Really! Wow, I didn't expect it. I remember very well how you were so heartbroken that time…..hahahaha."

"RARA!"

"Oops...sorry." Rara put her hands together in front of Her face but with a mischievous smile that couldn't leave her lips.

"Reza, don't be like that." Laras warned, she touched Reza's hand which was clenched on the table.

"Forgive me." Reza faced Laras, it was better to see Laras than Rara. His hand is now raised to clean the stain on the corner of Laras's lips.

On the other hand, Rara couldn't help but smile because she saw her best friend who was so sweet to Laras, but one thing that now made Rara wonder a little, what he noticed was no longer Reza's attitude towards Laras. But the distended stomach hidden behind the big clothes wron by Laras. Pregnant? That's the first sentence that came to Rara's mind, Laras and Reza had never discussed Laras's husband. If there is? Reza couldn't possibly be sweet like that.

Her best friend is hiding something.
