58 Intention To Betray A Friend

Kalea sent a message to Aluna but even until lunch break her best friend still didn’t reply to her messages. She was worried about what happened to Aluna so she didn’t give any news. Because she was too focused, she didn’t notice someone sitting in front of her. She was now in the cafeteria, at a table that fairly ended.

“You always have an unsightly face. How can Arthur still put up with you?”

Kalea immediately looked up when someone spoke like that to her. She sighed. “I’m worried.”

“Your best friend didn’t go to college today, right?” Zeline asked nonchalantly while eating the salad she ordered earlier. She must live a healthy lifestyle and diet to maintain her body shape is maintained and beautiful.

Kalea nodded slowly, she was still staring at the screen of her phone. Hope the message notification from Aluna appears there. Zeline rolled her eyes lazily.

“You’d better pay attention to your food, glaring at your phone won’t make your friends suddenly reply to your messages,” Zeline said, who was too tired to see Kalea like that.

The corners of Kalea’s lips curved downwards, confirming the blonde girl’s words in her mind. Wearily, she ate the tuna stuffed sandwich she ordered. “It’s unusual that Aluna doesn’t tell me if she doesn’t go to college,” Kalea said sadly. “Even her other friends don’t know about it. C-could it be that Aluna was kidnapped?!” Kalea screamed in panic.

Zeline looked at Kalea flatly, then took a deep breath. “Kidnapped by predators.”

“Predator? Did you see him? What did that guy look like?!”

.....

“Huh? How do I know, I’m just talking! Maybe that person really doesn’t have any intention of going to college. You’re too much,” Zeline sneered.

Kalea shook her head quickly, not confirming the blonde girl’s words. “No way. If it’s like this, I will go to her house. At the same time, give today’s materials and assignments,” Kalea concluded.

Zeline rolled her eyes once more, her thoughts with Kalea clearly different.However, she was still not sure.

In the afternoon, after the lecture was over, Kalea actually came to the Aluna family’s magnificent house. After being escorted by the worker who was at the gate, and she thanked him. Just as she was about to knock on the door, a servant opened it first.

“I-I’m Kalea Orlin Lovaata. I want to visit Aluna who doesn’t go to college today,” Kalea said, smiling awkwardly.

The servant smiled faintly, she knew very well the girl with the brunette hair because she often played together with her young lady, although not as often as before.

“I remember you, Miss Lovaata. Please come in,” the maid replied as she ushered Kalea into the house.

“Oh, Sis Lea?” someone called, Kalea turned to a tall man who was now smiling at her.

“Hendery.” Kalea returned the smile.

“Long time no see, how are you, Sis?”

“Good, how about you?”

Hendery smiled broadly as he nodded enthusiastically. “Me too! Oh, what brought you here? Meet my sister?”

“Of course.”

“I thought you wanted to meet me,” Hendery replied, pursing his lips. Kalea chuckled amused at the behavior of Aluna’s sister.

Kalea was so well received by Hendery, she was indeed quite familiar with a man who was two years younger than her. Not only Hendery, but their parents also treated Kalea kindly. Sometimes, she is jealous of the condition of Aluna’s family who are happy and love each other. Because she didn’t get it from her own family.

“Then let me deliver, you can go back to work,” Hendery said to the servant.

“Very well.”

Hendery also escorted Kalea to Aluna’s room.

“I don’t know if she didn’t go to college today,” Hendery said. Because when they were having breakfast together, Aluna looked fine and seemed ready to go to study on campus. “You know that, sis?”

Kalea shook her head slowly, they were talking to each other since they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. For some reason, Kalea can talk casually when she is with Hendery, maybe because she already treats her like a little sister and Hendery’s personality is friendly and cheerful like her brother. Finally, they arrived at Aluna’s room.

“Would you like me to accompany you inside? I’m also curious about my sister’s condition.”

“Ah, for now, let me accompany Luna,” Kalea said gently and politely.

“Oh... okay, fine!” Hendery smiled sweetly until his eyes looked like a thin line. “Then I’ll go back to my room. If there’s anything, please tell me, okay!”

Kale nodded and smiled. After Hendery left, Kalea started trying to knock on her best friend’s door.

“Luna, it’s me,” Kalea called. However, there was no response from within. Finally, Kalea started to open the doorknob which turned out to be unlocked. She found her best friend curled up on the bed wrapped in a white blanket.

Kalea stepped closer to her best friend. “Luna, are you sick?” Kalea asked worriedly as she sat in front of Aluna, placing her hand on the girl’s forehead with the burgundy hair. However, it didn’t feel hot, her body temperature was fine.

She smiled weakly, closing her eyes. “I didn’t expect you to come here, Lea.”

“I’m worried because you’re not usually without news like this. At the same time, giving the assignment and materials earlier,” Kalea replied as she opened the contents of her bag and gave her notebook so that Aluna could copy it. She also offered some of Aluna’s favorite foods to make her friend happy again.

Aluna looked at it all flatly, then she smiled faintly. “You’re really good, Lea.”

They were silent for a long time, Kalea didn’t know what else to do to make Aluna happy again as usual. She didn’t even dare to ask what made her friend look so gloomy that she hadn’t come to class today.

“Lea, I have a question.”

“Y-yes?”

“Did ... Arthur stay at your place yesterday?”

“Hm? Yes. What’s wrong?”

Aluna was silent again, annoyance began to eat away at her heart. However, she couldn’t show it to Kalea. She looked up again, staring at her best friend’s hazel beads.

“Do you have any special feelings for Arthur?”

Kalea was a little taken aback by the question. “E-eh?”

“Just answer.”

“A special feelings? What do you mean it’s love?” Kalea asked to make sure, Aluna nodded. “Well, I don’t have those feelings for him. It’s clearly stated in the contract,” Kalea replied.

Again, the contract, Aluna was fed up with everything in the contract, even though she didn’t know what was in it. However, not only Kalea, but Arthur also always emphasized that there was nothing special between the two of them beyond the contract. However, if they continue to reason so, it is as if they are forced and limited by the contact paper.

“Then if there is no contract, will you like him?” Aluna asked again.

Kalea was silent, feeling that her best friend now looked strange. “I ... don’t want to like that man at all. I told you, Arthur isn’t a good man for one woman. I don’t want to be offended by loving someone like him,” Kalea replied firmly.

“So you really don’t have feelings for him?”

“I just feel ... there is a person who can take good care of and care for me when I don’t get that anymore from my dad,” Kalea replied, her face slowly looking sad after remembering what happened when her father was still beside her.

“If that’s the case, then you only think of your relationship with Arthur as father and daughter?”

“Maybe? But I don’t know, I don’t want to think too much about it. I really don’t want to fall in love with Arthur,” Kalea replied again, emphasizing that she really didn’t want and wouldn’t give her heart to a man like Arthur. “You too, Luna. Bettern’t like Arthur.”

‘But I already like him?’ Aluna thought, she was now looking at Kalea with a meaningful smile.

“Arthur is dangerous. Rather than that, isn’t there a guy on campus that catches your eye?” Kalea asked, making Aluna knit her brows.

“On campus?” Aluna asked back.

Kalea nodded and said, “Haven’t you been in high school since high school? Honestly, I’m a little curious ....”

Aluna laughed softly, her mood slowly getting better. It seemed that she had heard Kalea’s statement that her best friend didn’t like Arthur. “Nothing, they do approach me a lot. But what’s the point if I don’t like one of them?”

“You’re very popular, Luna,” Kalea said honestly.

“No, really! I’m also sure if you change your geeky appearance while on campus, you will become the center of their attention,” Aluna replied very confidently. Even though she didn’t want that to really happen, she didn’t want Kalea to become a charming figure who would surely hypnotize the men who were already crazy about her and turn to Kalea.

Let’s say Aluna doesn’t want to lose her fans. She’s already annoyed enough with Zeline, and doesn’t want another destroyer even if it’s her best friend.

Kalea smiled bitterly and shook her head, not agreeing with Aluna’s words. “I have no intention of changing my appearance.”

“For fear of bad rumors coming your way?” Aluna asked.

“You’re right.”

“Don’t worry, your secret will still be safe with me. I also don’t force you to change, do what makes you comfortable,” Aluna said with a sweet smile, much sweeter than sugar.

“Thank you, Luna. You’re my best friend.”

Maybe?

“I hope you can find a good, loyal, and rich man. So that you can get away from Arthur completely,” Aluna said while stroking Kalea’s back gently. A thin grin plastered on her cute face.

Kalea smiled bitterly, she hoped that would happen even though she didn’t know when a good man would accept her as she was.

“You have to believe it, Lea. I’m sure Arthur also wants good things to come to you,” Aluna continued as she released her embrace and gently patted Kalea’s cheeks.

“I also want you to find a good man,” Kalea replied.

“Sure! I’ll definitely get it!”

Without Kalea realizing it, Aluna had hugged her so tightly as if thrusting a knife so that it stabbed deeper into Kalea’s body.

She really wanted to betray her best friend.
