Bab 24: Explain To me
Unlike usual, this time Elang refused Bang Jarot's invitation to accompany him to spend the night with alcohol and women at the man's rah-rah place.
After almost two hours of talking about the new assignment given by Bang Jarot, Elang immediately said goodbye because he was not feeling well. Even though he was suspicious, he finally managed to convince the man who he considered like his own brother.
Actually the Eagle felt bad for having to lie to the man. But there was something important he had to finish that very night.
The eagle strides fast and wide with clenched jaws. His fists clenched in anger and curiosity.
This is the first time he feels cheated outright especially by a girl.
I know what it's like to help someone, but it turns out that the reason given is different from the reality.
The eagle left the nightclub parking lot in a hurry. The black SUV car slid fast.

"Who are you really?" The eagle glared at Gladys.
The girl's brow furrowed. Instead of wanting to answer, he looked down while playing with his fingers. His gestures showed he was very nervous, but was trying his best to cover it up.
"W-what do you mean?" Gladys asked, forcing a smile.
The eagle chuckled, shaking his head slowly. Can't understand if he can be fooled by the girl in front of him.
The man reached into his jacket pocket and took something out of it. Then a sheet of photographs crashed violently on the table right in front of Gladys making the girl gasp. Especially after seeing who was in the photo.
"Can you explain this?" asked the Eagle, pointing at the photo.
"That's you, right?" The man asked again and this time with more emphasis. While his eyes were still staring intently and fixedly at Gladys.
"Answer!" snapped the Eagle who was getting impatient because the girl was silent.
"Wh-where did you get this photo?" Finally Gladys got up the courage to ask and raised her head to look at the Eagle.

Is this just a coincidence or is there an element of intent? But what's in it for the girl if he really intends to deceive her?
A series of questions ran through his mind as the footsteps hurriedly left the place. He even bumped into guests several times when he was about to head for the exit.
The brown-skinned man stepped into the parking lot with fast and wide steps. Then open and close the car door with a bang.
The engine started, then the SUV sped out of the parking lot of Bang Jarot's nightclub. Meanwhile, the driver seemed to be gripping the steering wheel with a hardened jaw, holding back annoyance and curiosity at the same time.
After a few minutes, Eagle arrived at his apartment. Quickly, he entered the apartment code then stepped inside and went straight to his bedroom which is now occupied by Gladys.
However, his steps stopped when he just opened the bedroom door and found the girl was fast asleep wearing her shirt that was only thigh-length. The beautiful sight in front of him made the Eagle gulp along with his chest tightening. After all, he's a normal guy.
Instead of wanting to wake the girl, Elang actually covered Gladys' sexy body with a blanket. Like hypnotized, the man was silent and did not quickly move from his position which was now near Gladys's face.
For a moment he looked at her beautiful and smooth face without even the slightest make-up. Bright skin, neatly lined eyebrows, long and curly eyelashes, also reddish lips that look slightly parted.
The creature of God with all its beauty unconsciously made the corners of the Eagle's lips pulled up. Only a few seconds, because a moment later the man shook his head and blinked rapidly. To get rid of the dirty thoughts that had crossed my head.
The eagle immediately pulled his body away from Gladys and stood slightly away while looking around the room. It felt a little strange to see a girl sleeping in his bed because so far the Eagle had never brought anyone, let alone a girl, into his private room.
Even when dating other women, Elang rarely takes them to his apartment, preferring a hotel.
Before he made a mistake and something happened between them, the Eagle immediately turned to leave the room. Opened the bedroom door and closed it slowly, afraid to wake Gladys.
His feet stepped into the refrigerator after taking off his jacket and then threw anything on the sofa. He took a can of root beer and took a sip as he walked towards the tv room and plopped down on the soft chair.
The big television turned on showing alternating programs because the Eagle pressed the remote button on purpose only as a distraction. He took another sip of the can of beer in his hand as he normalized his heartbeat, which felt boisterous for a moment after looking intently at the girl.
"Damn it!" The eagle squeaked in annoyance at his feelings. Even when seeing women dressed much sexier and seductive in a nightclub or other it's not this nervous.
The man finished the rest of the drink in one gulp, put the can on the table then got up and went into the room next to his. The eagle chose to sleep and put off his curiosity to interrogate Gladys tomorrow.
The next morning.
Gladys had showered and was still wearing Eagle's shirt because there really wasn't anything else she could wear other than this. It seemed impossible for her to wear her wedding dress again.
The eagle had just come out of the room when Gladys was busy in the kitchen. The girl turned her head, then suddenly her eyes widened when she saw the Eagle only wearing boxers and shirtless. Then he quickly turned his face away.
Gladys went back to pretending to be busy preparing breakfast trying to be as casual as possible. The eagle smiled lopsidedly at the girl's behavior, then suddenly he got an idea.
Why is your face so red?" Elang teased as he approached Gladys who still seemed to be trying to cover up her awkwardness.
The girl gasped as they got closer and held her cheeks. The eagle casually leaned against the side of the table where Gladys was preparing breakfast.
"Who are you really?" The eagle glared at Gladys.
The girl's brow furrowed. Instead of wanting to answer, he looked down while playing with his fingers. His gestures showed he was very nervous, but was trying his best to cover it up.
"W-what do you mean?" Gladys asked, forcing a smile.
The eagle chuckled, shaking his head slowly. Can't understand if he can be fooled by the girl in front of him.
The man reached into his jacket pocket and took something out of it. Then a sheet of photographs crashed violently on the table right in front of Gladys making the girl gasp. Especially after seeing who was in the photo.
"Can you explain this?" asked the Eagle, pointing at the photo.
"That's you, right?" The man asked again and this time with more emphasis. While his eyes were still staring intently and fixedly at Gladys.
"Answer!" snapped the Eagle who was getting impatient because the girl was silent.
"Wh-where did you get this photo?" Finally Gladys got up the courage to ask and raised her head to look at the Eagle.
