"Uncle Arka, Uncle Aksa, if Sabrina were to marry one of you, I wouldn't mind it. But I can't accept if she married Rio. Do you guys have any plans to get rid of him?" A cold look appeared in Mason's deep eyes.
Inside the CEO's office, Arka was sitting on his sofa relaxing, looking at Mason with a sharp gaze. "Why do you bother thinking about it?"
"Rio is only 19 years old," Aksa replied nonchalantly.
Mason's face grew even more grim at his words. "What if Sabrina likes him?"
"How could she like him? She just can't choose who she should make as her life partner. Therefore she just has fun with him," said Aksa.
Arka looked at him who was sitting on his desk. Then he took a document and tossed it.
As if he could read minds, Aksa reacted very quickly, dodging the flying papers and looking very proud. "You suck!"
"I heard that twins can have telepathy. Uncle Aksa, can you sense that Uncle Arka wants to beat you up?" Mason asked.
"Could you sense that Arka was going to steal your car and crash it?" Aksa asked back.
"I couldn't feel it. But before he did, for some reason I felt really pissed off," Mason replied.
"My brother and I have different personalities. And we don't have time to communicate from heart to heart," Aksa turned and looked at Arka. "Brother, I dreamed of Sabrina last night."
"I don't want to hear your dreams and I don't want to know," Arka said coldly.
"I don't want to hear it either," Mason also refused.
"Mason, go and book a restaurant for us to have dinner with Sabrina tonight. I will also contact Rio and Jason," said Arka. Jason is Jenny and Jonathan's son.
Aksa sat in his brother's working chair and laid his head on his hands, smiling. "If it's only boys, Sabrina must feel uncomfortable. I'll take Adel. Mason, you take Maddy."
"Maddy doesn't like Sabrina," Mason frowned.
"Then why are you still willing to compete with us?" Aksa snorted coldly.
"Uncle, we already agreed that we will compete fairly. How could I not go after a woman I like just because my sister doesn't like her?" Mason said.
Arka's long fingers tapped the table several times. "Take Adel and Maddy."
"Who will invite Sabrina?" Aksa asked.
"Uncle Arka, Sabrina is afraid of you so she doesn't dare not come if you call her," said Mason.
The corner of Arka's lips formed a faint smile but nobody knew what it meant. "Why should she be afraid of me?"
"Bro, you are very serious and scary sometimes," Aksa answered, grinning.
"Right…" Mason nodded.
"So you mean, just because Sabrina is afraid of me, it's impossible for her to choose me?" Arka could tell what they meant by those words.
"Don't expect too much. The bigger your expectations, the bigger the disappointment you will feel," Aksa looks as if he is the man Sabrina will choose.
Arka didn't care about his brother. "Come out. Let me contact Sabrina."
After Aksa and Mason left his office, Arka took his cell phone on the table and immediately called Sabrina.
Sabrina had just finished taking a shower and was ready for bed. She still feels jet lag and is very tired after a long journey.
When she saw the name on her phone's flashing screen, Sabrina was confused.
Should she pick up this call? Or just let it be?
"Sister, why are you not answering your phone?" Samuel, her younger brother, peeked through the door of her room, showing his small head with a curious look.
"Don't you have lessons today?" Sabrina looked at her brother.
"I have piano lessons at half past two, English lessons at three and I will go to play football at five," Samuel replied.
"Hurry up and go," Sabrina said.
"Sis, don't choose Mason because he is much younger. If you marry him, you have to call Arka and Aksa as uncle. Arka is too serious and scary. I suggest you choose brother Aksa instead. He is kind and has good character. I like him too," Samuel said before turning and leaving.
Sabrina took a dry towel to wipe her still wet hair while thinking about Samuel's words.
Even her 6-year-old brother knows that marrying Mason wouldn't work well for her. Mason had two uncles who constantly harassed and oppressed him.
Samuel also said that Arka was too serious and scary. However, in Sabrina's eyes, Aksa and Mason are actually not as good as Samuel thought.
Her cell phone is still ringing. Arka was very patient and waited for her to pick up the call.
"Who disturbed my sleep?" Sabrina pretended to say it in a lazy voice as if she had just woken up.
"Sabrina, I'll pick you up for dinner at the usual restaurant," Arka's deep but soft voice came from the other side of the phone. It sounded sweet and warm. Sabrina wanted to refuse the invitation, but when she wanted to say it, all that came out of her mouth was an incoherent mumble.
"Hmm..." Sabrina replied.
After the call ended, Sabrina placed her cell phone on her nightstand and charged it. She rolled over on the bed screaming.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…." She shouted with a pillow covering her face.
Three years ago, Sabrina was caught between three men.
Arka, Aksa and Mason.
She could not choose one of the three childhood friends. So in the end, she decided to flee abroad saying that she wanted to continue studying design.
She majored in product design with a focus on jewelry, to continue in her mother's footsteps as a jewelry designer.
Three years later, she returned to Indonesia after finishing her studies early. She was surprised to learn that her three childhood friends were single and looked forward to her return.
Now, Sabrina couldn't run away anymore.
She had to choose.
On her way back to Indonesia, she met Jason Srijaya, Jonathan and Jenny's son. Jason returned to Indonesia after a vacation with his friend, Rio Aditya.
That accidental meeting led Sabrina to know Rio.
An idea crossed her mind when she met him. She took advantage of Rio, pretended to make him her lover, and uploaded tons of photos showing their closeness on her social media.
She thought the three little friends would give up after they found out that she already had a lover. But who would've known that they intended to pick her up as soon as she arrived in Indonesia?
Sabrina had a pretty strong feeling that this wasn't a small party, but quite a big event!
She closed her eyes in annoyance, caught between three choices she couldn't make.
…
Hot…
Sabrina's whole body felt very hot like she was being roasted on a fire.
She grabbed her collar and saw a man standing beside her bed. He looked swayed as if he couldn't stand up straight. Or maybe she couldn't look him straight in the eye.
What's with her head right now?
"Hot. Is there water? I'm so thirsty," Sabrina stretched her hand towards the man.
The man brought a glass of water and supported her body by using his arms and brought a glass of water for her to drink. However, half of it got spilled, wetting her neck and shirt.
Sabrina looked like someone who hadn't drank water in a long time. No matter how much water she drank, she still felt thirsty.
"I want more," Sabrina said.
"What do you want?" The man seemed to be shaking his head. As Sabrina kept swinging her hand, her hand unknowingly nudged the glass the man was holding, sending it falling to the floor.
"You… You look so handsome. Your face is so charming..." Sabrina smiled like an insane person, looking at the man's lips as if wanting to kiss him.
She thought she was just thinking about it, but Sabrina actually kissed him.
As soon as she took the initiative to kiss him first, the man's lips seemed to welcome her and responded more aggressively. Sabrina couldn't match his aggressiveness and could only take attack after attack in silence.
The kiss made her body feel hotter and hotter. She felt like she was about to lose control.
She felt her face feel hot, as if standing under the scorching midday sun.
Her forehead was dripping with sweat and her eyes could not see clearly. She was like a flower that was blown away by raindrops, unable to do anything.
Sabrina felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know what was happening to herself.
Until the man's hand stroked her face and kissed Sabrina's lips.
Finally, Sabrina knew what she needed.
She returned the kiss and her reaction made the man feel happy.
"Sabrina, be mine tonight..." the man whispered in her ear.
She was trying hard to maintain her consciousness, but it was almost impossible. She felt like sinking in the sand and couldn't get up again.
Her consciousness seemed to be fading more and more. Her body felt like it was floating above the clouds.
Sabrina felt like she was on a boat as the waves gently shook her. She could only hold the man's hand tightly, hoping the waves would not swallow her alive.
She tried to keep her eyes open. And before falling asleep, she asked, "Who are you?"
"…. Atmajaya."
"Who? Tell me again what's your name. Say it one more time!" Sabrina suddenly woke up from her dream.
