He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 107 - Release Control

We all look in the same direction. Clarissa who had just hit the table rounded her eyes and looked at us one by one. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, but he could only gulp heavily.

I smile at the picture of what's in his head now. He must be looking for the right reason to explain why he was suddenly angry to hear what Big Brother said. Today doesn't seem like a good day for me, nor does she.

“A-I want to go to the toilet, so .. a-I ..” he said his own confusion.

“I also need to go to the toilet,” said Charlotte saved her brother. He glanced at me. Understanding what he meant by the look in his eyes, I also said goodbye.

Brother Hadi stood up so I could get out of my chair. Charlotte and Clarissa walked ahead of me. We just kept quiet while we were in the toilet. Charlotte and I waited until Clarissa came out of the room she was in.

“Don't look at me like that,” Clarissa said to both of us as she walked towards the sink to wash her hands.

“Indeed how do we stare at you?” charlotte pretended not to know.

“I'm not jealous of Hadi's story earlier.” He looked at us seriously.

“Ooo .. you are jealous of Hadi's story earlier.” Charlotte taunted her brother, and we laughed amusedly. Does Clarissa think we can be lied to? Let alone us, I'm sure everyone knows that he was jealous of the women you were telling me about.

“You are really annoying.” Clarissa threw the tissue she was wearing to dry her hands at Charlotte. “Now I don't know how to go back there without making myself ashamed.” He sighed loudly.

“You needn't be ashamed, Clarissa. We all know you have a special feeling for Hadi,” Charlotte said. Clarissa opened her mouth in denial. “No need to lie. Me and Dira are not people you can lie to. You two, listen to me. Don't waste your time denying your own feelings.”

“Why are you even talking to me? I don't want to hear.” I turned around, intending to get out of the woman's toilet.

“You've opened the door for Colin to enter. When you act like this again, you do worse than Colin did to you, Dira.” That Charlotte sentence stopped my steps. I looked at him questioningly. “You hugged him at the airport. Why?”

Oh, that's what he meant by opening the door. “No special reason. We're talking about the tragedy and I don't want him to blame himself on it.”

“You sure that's the only reason? Then why did you lose control with the attitude of women on campus earlier on Colin?” ask Charlotte again.

“Women on campus?” ask Clarissa who is interested in the direction of our conversation.

“Iya. Her name is Valeria and looks familiar to Colin. I do not know what happened, suddenly Dira was angry and Colin was forced to take him out of the department office so as not to interfere with the course of the seminar.” Charlotte shrugged both of her shoulders. “I helped Colin break up when the girl tried to hurt Dira.”

“Hadi ever told. He said the girl liked him and did not stop trying to get close to him, even though Hadi had already rejected him.” Clarissa looked at me confused. “If he wants to be close to Hadi, why would he even fight with his sister?”

“He didn't know I was Dira. Only you can recognize me with these glasses and hats.” I pointed at the tool I used to wear to cover my identity.

“I don't understand. Did he say something bad about Hadi so you were angry?” ask Clarissa who is still confused.

I took a quick breath. “He insulted Colin. That's why I'm angry. Can we go back to the table now? I'm so hungry.”

I don't want to discuss my feelings for Colin with them. I got out of control, and I promised myself that the same thing would never happen again. Fortunately, Charlotte and Clarissa are just as hungry as I am. They agreed and we went back to the table.

We were very lucky because the food had been delivered and friends had already enjoyed their meal first. I let out a sigh of relief as the food finally filled my stomach. The older brother sitting by my side chuckled at how quickly I ate.

Me and Big Brother just kept quiet, engrossed in our food. Adi and Lily are heard discussing the game that Adi played. Lily must have gotten used to the story because her brother is also an online game addict. Charlotte and Wyatt didn't waste their time making me jealous of their affection.

I deliberately did not look at Colin so as not to arise misunderstanding. But hearing Clarissa's laughter, I couldn't help but turn my head towards them. Colin was telling a story and Clarissa listened to him carefully. Their faces were so close, it made me start to feel uncomfortable.

“Kak, why is the grilled meat kneaded so?” ask Adi wonder.

I looked at her, then at my hand she meant. Without me noticing, I no longer held a knife to cut meat. My hand was clutching the meat tightly on the plate. “Ah, the meat is delicious, yes. Gently again. I just want to feel the texture directly.”

Adi laughed a little. “Alright, if Brother says so.”

Brother paid our food bills, then we returned to our respective vehicles. In order not to act stupid anymore, I had to avoid looking in the direction where Colin was. She and Clarissa were still talking intimately and I could no longer deny that I was jealous.

“Kak Dira needs to talk to Colin. And Brother Hadi needs to talk to Clarissa. What you did at the restaurant was very sad,” Adi said after our car came out of the restaurant area.

“What do you mean?” ask Hadi offended.

“Silver eats with annoyed face on happy day Brother. What's his name if it's not pathetic? And I know why you're angry. Colin spoke very familiarly with Clarissa. Yes, ‘kan?” challenge Adi. Hadi's sister just closed her lips.

“Sister jealous with Clarissa and Colin?” I just don't believe it. “This is exciting news.”

“Same with Kak Dira. Isn't Brother jealous earlier?” This time Adi taunted me. Hadi laughed loudly at it.

“Heh, little boy knows what adult matters? You just play the game, do not have to comment on what happened in the restaurant earlier.”

“Second sister is the son of Mahendra Mighty, should Sister imitate Papa in romance affairs. Unyielding even if the person he loves loves loves other people and tries to get away from them. It was just his name fighting for love.” He looked at us lightly. “I can even act better than the two of you.”

“Close your mouth. You know what about love?” kak Hadi said defend himself. “Clarissa that severed our relationship. Why would I force him to stay with me?”

“Fight for love? What am I lacking in fighting for Colin?” I said along with Brother. “She cheated, Adi. Cheated. Please ask Papa how it feels to be betrayed by the person we love so much.”

“Yes, Cole cheated. But at least he fought so you could be together again. Clarissa wasn't. He never came back to repair our relationship. I was in front of his eyes, he was busy chatting with my best friend. Cole is the same.” My brother turned to talk to me.

“What's wrong Colin? He was just a regular friend of Clarissa. If you want to talk to Clarissa, why not sit by her side? Why is Brother sitting next to me?” I said I don't want to lose.

“What am I sitting next to the girl who thinks I don't exist?” Brother grunted annoyedly.

“Sister, he hit the table hard with jealousy. Where does he think Brother doesn't exist??” I said trying to open his eyes.

Brother opened his mouth wanting to reply to my words, but he locked up his intention. He looked at me intently. “What did you say? She jealous?”

“So, I believe in the reason why go to the toilet?” Me and Adi laughed in disbelief.

“Stop. You two are so brave to laugh at me,” Brother said in annoyance.

“Both of us understand now?” adi asked with a triumphant face. “Talk to people you like before you act even more pathetic.”

*******

Meanwhile in a car~

Wyatt laughed out loud, making Clarissa even more upset. He tried to hit the young man, but Charlotte got in the way. “He's not wrong, Clarissa.” Charlotte bit her lip so she wouldn't laugh with her boyfriend.

“See! You also laugh at me!” clarissa exclaimed in annoyance at the expression of her sister.

“You are jealous because there are many women who approach Hadi and the reason you hit the table is because you want to go to the toilet??” Wyatt's laughter exploded.

“Honey, enough! You can laugh in your room later. Don't be here!” Charlotte tried to cover the young man's mouth with her hands. But Wyatt held the hand and kissed the back of his hand. Charlotte's face flushed.

“Ukh. Stop this! You guys make me nauseous.” Clarissa pretended not to like to see her sister's affection with her lover.

“Mual or jealous?” goda Charlotte's. Wyatt laughed again. “Comely make up with Hadi, then you will understand why we can't be far from each other.”

“No, Charlotte. I need a better woman than me. I'm not as strong a woman as he says I am. I once gave up, then I could have given up again if something bad happened to us.”

“So, you're ready to release him forever?” challenge Charlotte. “Are you sure you're ready to see him with another girl?”
