Once Upon A Heartbreak

Chapter 48

CHAPTER 48

Back to Ivana’s P.O.V

Saya menatap wajah Jerome.

“You love her so much, hmmm, J?” Saya berbisik. “Sanggup kau fall into Braxton’s trap for Sapphire.” Ck Ck, Jerome, Jerome.

Ekor mata saya menangkap gerakan Braxton dan Shandra yang sedang melangkah keluar dari Black Sins. I can still see them sebab Shandra masih belum padam the torch light di handphone dia.

Braxton is looking at me.

Saya menghembus nafas lembut dan mendekatkan bibir saya pada bibir Jerome.
“I’m sorry, J.” Dubs dubs dubs jantung saya. “Tsk tsk, Saph.”

Braxton and Shandra walked out. Sempat saya dengar dorang berbisik.
“Let’s fuck in the toilet laju-laju.”

That made me smile. Kau memang bah, Braxton. Tidak pernah dan tidak akan berubah.

And it all starts right now.

PAK! PAK! PAK! PAK! PAK!

Kylie sedang mengambil video dari luar Black Sins.

Black Sins and White Lies dua-dua ada outdoor screen yang boleh slide open untuk members menonton a live porn show. But with the permission of the couple di dalam Black Sins.

Oh the PAK! Bukan BAPAK!

Itu saya tepuk tangan. Who doesn’t like a live porn show?

Saya tidur sama Jerome? NOT.

Not gonna happen. But I had to play my role well.

Ah, Ivana Terrence! Yes, yes, yes, thank you everybody. Yes, thank you for all the compliments of my acting and my masterminded plan. Thank you for complimenting the plot twist I made. In my mind I’m bowing down to receive standing ovation from the crowd after accepting my first Golden Globe for Best Actress. Hahahaha!

“Wha… what are you doing out here?” Kylie terkejut. Tapi terus dia tersenyum dan memeluk saya. “I know I can trust you, Van-van.”

Mata Kylie berkaca-kaca.
“You got a replacement because you didn’t want to betray me. You’re the best bestie.”

Saya tersengih.

“Show’s over, Kai.” Saya mengunjuk the screen dengan memuncungkan bibir saya.

Jerome menumbuk kunun si Braxton tapi tidak mengena. Mau juga saya ketawa tapi berdosa nanti. Ketawa dalam hati sajalah.

“Siapa the perempuan yang ganti you, Van-van?” Kylie tanya saya.

I just tilted a small smile.

You will know soon, Kai. You will know soon.

Saya mengusap lagi rambut Kylie.
“Don’t think about it, okay? Yang penting I jaga our friendship.” Saya bilang dengan lembut. “But promise me.”

Mata Kylie membulat.
“I promise.”

I smiled at her naïvity.
“Don’t tell Braxton that the girl who slept with Jerome is not me.”

Kylie terdiam. Saya menyentuh lengan Kylie.
“You know Braxton’s main purpose is to make Sapphire hate Jerome, right? He wants Sapphire to feel as betrayed by Jerome as how she felt when she found out he betrayed her with Shandra. Right, Kai?”

Kylie mengangguk. Saya sambung.
“So let him think it’s me. Or else…” Saya menunduk, pura-pura sedih kunun. “He’ll tell your dirty little secret.”
