He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 167 - Sharing Compassion

*dira*

Reese is not really human. Why hasn't he changed too? After degrading Wendy, ruining my relationship with Laras, she's now trying to kill Clarissa. The poor girl not only suffered a broken bone and a minor concussion, but she was also blind.

I can't imagine what his life would have been like being part of the Foster family. He must have had a lot of bad treatment from Reese. Looking at the attitude of her parents, they must have never defended Clarissa and allowed their biological daughter to do as she pleased.

Poor Clarissa. It had only been a few months to meet his biological family, but trouble did not stop haunting his life. But Reese is already in custody. He won't be able to hurt Clarissa anymore. Too bad, going to jail and a career ruined just because of a man who is not interested in him.

Poor as well Brother Hadi. He does not remember what happened at the hotel. Who brought him there and what did they do in the room? Papa looks calm, but he always does so even if there is a big problem. Is there something Papa is hiding? There's no way Papa didn't ask Om Irwan to find out what happened to Brother at that hotel.

They are both very happy. My sister doesn't seem to deny her feelings anymore. Clarissa was also comfortable just putting her head on Big Brother's shoulder and holding his hand. We were not ashamed of our presence in that room with them. Happiness has never been theirs for a long time. Will there be another bad thing that will separate them?

“What's up, baby?” colin asked when we had dinner together. I just shook my head. “You didn't talk much today. Is something bothering you?”

“No. Just feel sorry for Clarissa and Sister,” I'm slow.

Colin looked towards the door of the room where Clarissa, Kak Hadi, and our parents were. “They are very happy. Why do you feel sorry?” colin asked confusedly.

“What if something happens that separates them again?” manyworry.

“They will find a way to be together again. Don't worry so much. Not good for your health and beauty,” god. I'm laughing a little. “Well, so much better.”

“What about your parents, baby? Have they made up?” askaku.

“We'll see on Saturday. They will be staying at the hotel this weekend. Dad's booked a room for three nights and two days. So, they will return to the apartment from their workplace on Monday.” Colin blinked one eye. A new habit he emulated from Wyatt. But I don't mind as long as he's comfortable doing it.

“Honeymoon, huh? Good idea,” my compliments are happy. “Saturday, does that mean they will come to the fashion show at the hotel?” askaku expectantly.

“Of course. Uncle's already given an invitation to my parents and Lily. You already gave me an invitation, so I don't need it anymore,” he replied enthusiastically.

Let's hope Uncle Will and Aunt Gista's relationship improves. So, I can come back to their apartment to visit. I'm going to be Colin's wife in the near future, it's time to get along with his family. I also need to plan a visit to her grandparents' house. They were very nice people, and her grandmother could cook a very good cake.

On that Friday, our lecture hall was still filled with conversations of students who did not believe in Reese's reckless actions. My friends and I just exchanged looks. We never discussed the incident on campus, just listening to people's opinions about the incident they saw firsthand.

Charlotte still blames herself for being late to help her sister. That was not his fault. Reese deliberately pushed Clarissa without warning and that was exactly what she had planned. He wants Clarissa to get hurt, for whatever reason.

That's what prompted me to come to the police station to see Reese. She no longer looks perfect with makeup, neatly arranged hair, and clothes and jewelry on her body. He was wearing an orange t-shirt and loose black pants.

“What are you doing here!?” He hit the iron bars that separated us. I took one step back, in surprise. “Go! I don't want to see your lick face! Get out of here!”

“Heh! Relax!” The policewoman who drove me hit the bars with a stick. Reese took a step back. “I told you, if you want to get leniency, be nice.”

“Be nice to this wicked woman!? I don't want to!” hardik Reese's.

“You call me evil? Who among us is in jail?” many challenging. “I also don't bother coming here. But I don't understand. You already have everything. What made you hurt Clarissa?”

Bizarrely. What I see is just the opposite. He monopolizes the attention of his parents until Clarissa does not get any affection from them. Even he had committed a crime, his parents still defended him by persuading Aunt Lindsey and Om Edu to release him from prison. Brother Hadi had already rejected him completely, he was still trying to get close to Brother. He's the one who tried to take Clarissa's.

“Why are you silent? What I say is true, ‘kan? Did Colin finally confess that he and Clarissa had a special relationship?” he said he challenged me. “He also did that first. I confessed I had no parents until I felt sorry for him and asked my parents to make him my brother. No I guess, it's all just a cover. But I acted faster. I take care of my parents, my belongings, and the young man I like about him. You should also do the same before it's too late.”

I smile. “I don't mind sharing with him. He and Brother are getting married, so Papa and Mama can love him. He wants to stay in our house, I don't mind either. Big brother is enough as his lover, he won't tease my Colin. After all my sister only loves him, Clarissa will not lack affection anymore.”

“Shut! Hadi doesn't love Clarissa! It's just for me!” the screams were full of protest.

“Are you not wrong to talk?” I laughed in surprise. “My brother has kicked you out of our house, rejected you repeatedly, and you dare to claim Kak Hadi just for you??”

“Everyone says no at first, later also he will love to die to me,” he said.

“When later? Have you forgotten where you are now?” I looked towards the narrow space that became his temporary home. “If you do not believe my words, I will send you an invitation. Sis Hadi and Clarissa will be engaged in the near future.” I smiled, then turned to look at the policewoman who was accompanying me.

“I won't let that happen! It's only mine! Clarissa can't be with him!” shout Reese. But his voice was no longer heard, as soon as the door closed again.

Pak Sakti looked at me with a worried face. I smiled at him. He did not want to take me to this place, but I managed to persuade him. I don't know why he was worried. This place is the safest place. How could these police officers let Reese hurt me. I proved it by getting back in the car safely.

Colin had to accompany his sister, so I went to the hotel alone. Vikal was waiting in the lobby, then we went to the back of the hall together. A committee immediately pulled me into a room and helped me clear the kebaya for the last time.

For a model like me, standing in only undergarments in front of others is common. I can't possibly wear that complicated kebaya alone. They all sighed in relief as soon as they saw the kebaya, cloth, and other trinkets fit on my body.

“Our business is done, so we can already go home.” Vikal approached me as soon as I left the room.

“From yesterday I was very calm. But I am now starting deg-degan.” I put my right hand on my left chest.

“Just learn. The day is approaching. I'm also pounding.” Vikal took a long breath. “We have dinner here only, yuk. I treat. Call your driver, we eat together.”

“Wah, whew. Did Mr Billy give you a bonus, so you want to pay for food in a place this expensive?” godaku while pulling out the phone.

“Ayo, fast. Before I change my mind.” He pulled my hand closer to the hotel restaurant. I called Mr. Sakti and asked him to come see us.

Since the restaurant provides food on a buffet basis, I can take as much food as I want. Vikal just shook his head and didn't forbid me. He knows that I exercise every morning. So, no matter how much I eat, my weight won't change drastically.

My family came with me to the hotel to follow the fashion show. Papa and Mama got an invitation to attend a wedding reception held in the hotel garden. So, Brother and Adi accompanied them.

Vikal took me to the back of the hall, while my family headed for the reception. There are a few models that came first. A committee approached me and asked me to sit in one of the empty seats in front of a large mirror.

“Oh, no!” cry Vikal who ran up to me.

“What's up, Vikal?” I was confused while looking around us. There were also some panicked organisers around the dressing room.

“Oh, baby. Why are you always hit by misfortune?” said sad. “The power you will wear is destroyed. Someone cut it until it becomes perca.”
