Pulchritude Case
Page 08's

The scorching sun stings the skin, the sweat sliding freely throughout the body. Yardan rubbed the sweat coming out of her temple. That guy just climbed a mountain, uh joking. This day around looking for job vacancies, but the results are still nil. On average they seek workers with a minimum limit of high school graduates. Now the new Yardan regrets having wasted her education because of the mistakes she once made.

It's enough effort today, time to go home and rest. Tomorrow he will continue to look for a new job. His hands are light, although sometimes still painful. Yardan took off her t-shirt while reflecting in front of the rectangular-shaped glass. He posed like a bodybuilder. Breathing deeply until her distended stomach looks flat.

"Jasmine, do you think Dad's a good fit as a bodybuilder?" Now the widower raised his arm, showing his deflated biceps.

"Oh, looks like I should exercise."

"Dad, stop! Aren't you ashamed?" Jasmine glanced at a woman who had been staring at her father.

"Why embarrassed? Dad's body looks cool mom-,"

O_o

His body was accidentally exposed in front of a virgin. Deline pecked at the doorway without blinking. Hurried Yardan grabbed her shirt while putting on a big smile to just melt the atmosphere. Inwardly shouted loudly in shame. Messy, why did he not realize the presence of the girl in his house. Though from the mirror reflections show the form of Deline who stood rigidly back there. If you're asking why is this hilarious widower acting so weird? Yep, earlier during a tour accidentally Yardan saw a poster of a bodybuilder idol. So, that's the ending. The practice of posing imitates the idol.

"Hehe, Miss."

Deline shook her head, between wanting to laugh and embarrassment after seeing the ridiculous mannerisms of Jasmine's father. "I swear, I brushed Mr. Kim."

(⁠*⁠_⁠*⁠)

Yardan forgot that today her son has a home schooling schedule. The most embarrassing moment of his life. He walked slowly to the room. For a while hide first from this silliness. Jumped onto the bed and hid his face behind a pillow while shouting loudly. Of course his voice was heard by the two women from outside the room. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Daddy is ridiculous, brother. Sorry if the behavior is strange," said Jasmine was tired of the absurd behavior of the father. Understand that, the souls of the fathers are so.

°°°

Danesh kicked down the table, his eyes showing mounting anger. The employees make a big mistake to mess up a project. Cooperation between his father's company and one of the luxury brands certainly failed. The vagueness of tasks and roles in work is the source of miscommunication. Because their mistake makes Danesh scolded all-out by Natha.

Unclear job descriptions result in overlapping and chaotic planning. Plus the seniority factor in the project. Some are selfish and self-governing without regard to their roles and duties. Danesh chose to leave the office for a while, he wanted to get some fresh air to temper his emotions. Hours of checking the details of the project made his head smoky.

"It turns out you're alive, Vin." Danesh cerocos.

"You think?"

Danesh chuckles a little.

Surprises>.<

Yep, both are friends during High School. The full moon finally met again. Danesh and Kevin have been separated since their respective careers. Moreover, Kevin is preoccupied with his work as an intelligence. Served in the field and rarely returned to his hometown and even home. He didn't have enough time to just hang out with his family or friends. Coincidentally in the same area, they decided to meet for mere pleasantries.

Because Kevin's job this time is not to follow someone, so he often has free time. Searching for the missing corpse made him relax a lot, he found the case not too difficult. And also, he was actually lazy to settle the case. Now they're in Kevin's apartment kitchen. The host presented a bottle of champagne to greet his old friend.

"Where do you know I'm here?" ask Kevin while pouring champagne into a glass.

"Farrell,"

"Ah, that boy." Kevin pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him.

Danesh took out a pack of cigarettes. He hesitated as he looked at the police in front of him. Kevin nodded, allowing him to smoke. Well, this is the other side of Danesh. He was actually a heavy smoker, but when he was near his sister he did not show his habit.

"My head almost exploded thinking about work. Know it? They useless employees screwed up big projects until Dad scolded me all-out—oh, shit." he complained while lighting a cigarette.

Kevin tilted his head with a half smile. It's not usually that she sees Danesh depressed. His best friend was massaging the temple.

"The president-elect cannot complain. You look like a loser,"

Danesh smiled obliquely. "Presidential candidate?" She laughs. "I don't want that position at all,"

"Where is your lover?"

"Who?" pause while thinking. "Oh, Olivia—I don't care where she is now."

"Decided?"

"There's actually no breaking up between us, but I assume this relationship is over. How else, he just acted like he didn't think I existed." she explained.

Regarding romance, Danesh is not someone who is crazy about love. For him, the career he is working on is the main thing. He wants future insurance by investing in the business or venture he is currently pursuing. The matter of marriage was later, now Danesh is planning his old age savings to live prosperous when he married later.

"You're handsome and rich, but your love's fate isn't as smooth as the money in your account." Kevin laughed with satisfaction.

"Stress,"

Her relationship with Olivia has been going on for quite some time, but the last few months the woman has felt she is too busy with her world. There is rarely a chance to spend time together. Feeling sidelined, Olivia changes and doesn't consider Danesh her lover anymore. It's not all a big deal. When someone has sacrificed while he does not appreciate it at all, yes already, it is up to what to do. Danesh sets her free and considers this relationship to be over.

Now silent, they were immersed in each other's thoughts. In the middle of enjoying a smoked cigarette, Danesh suddenly chokes. Her chest was hot, she ran to the sink and coughed. Red liquid came out of his mouth, Kevin stood up when he saw the unusual condition of his best friend. While Danesh's body is getting weaker accompanied by a severe cough.

"Why Dan?"

Danesh rubbed his face roughly, he tried to catch his breath and went back to sitting on the chair. Coughing with vomiting blood that suffered Danesh had long known. However, until now Kevin did not understand what disease he was suffering from.

"What are you sick of? Check it out, right?"

"I'm just exhausted" Danesh grabbed his cigarette. However, the intelligence brushed off his hands violently.

"Are you stupid?" Kevin grinned. "See your condition. You always thought it was the effect of fatigue, and now you want to continue smoking again?"

"..."

"Preferably go to the doctor and check your condition. It's been years haven't you been uncomfortable in this situation?" his nag.

The manager yawns and positions the sitting lazily. He avoided eye contact with the chatty man before him. Danesh has said he is fine, there is no dangerous disease in his body. Look, until now he's alive. Ah, he did not want to prolong this matter. The goal came to meet Kevin wants to find a fresh wind, instead he got a nagging that ruined his mood.

"Pamit first, there's business." Danesh grabbed his suit, then left.

"Mr Dilbara! If you get to why, I won't think of you as my friend anymore. You hear?" Kevin followed behind him while shouting.

°°°

The happy cry of a child certainly makes the hearts of his parents calm. Today after she finished teaching, Deline took the father and son to the shopping mall. At the Happiness Mall, which is not far from their apartment. It was nothing, the girl just wanted to make Jasmine happy by just taking her for a walk. It may not be the first for the two to be at the Mall, but the boy said he wanted to see ice-skating people dancing on the surface of the ice floor.

Hearing that little wish with a flash he instantly made it happen. Not to forget, they explore the various rides available inside the Mall. Starting from Wooden Brick, Miniature Doll House, mini train and ending by trying the family photobooth. Like a small family, they have fun with joy. Joking, teasing each other until a romantic moment makes the three forget themselves with their respective status.

"Why is old Deline, Dad?"

"Maybe it'll be over soon, too" comforted Yardan as she carried her daughter.

They were waiting for Deline to finish her business at an electronics store. Earlier when they had fun the phone fell to make the object not turn on. Yardan accidentally meets his ex-wife. The woman held the boy, none other than her son with the new husband.

"Oh, hi, how are you? Stay like before?" his greeting, he intended to pinch Jasmine's cheek. However, the boy hid his face behind Yardan's shoulder.

"Jasmine, do you remember Mom?" The woman tried to talk to the child. For a long time they did not meet, even though they had divorced still as a mother still save longing with the figure of her little daughter.

She is Emma, a 33-year-old woman and now remarried to a businessman. Looking at her dress style now shows that the woman has lived her life well. Gold, branded clothes and luxurious facilities he has enjoyed. It was fortunate that Emma met a single man who took her as a wife. His dream of living as a rich man has come true. And he looks young until now.

"I didn't expect that if we met in a place like this—Yardan, would you take good care of your daughter?" Emma noticed her second appearance that looked old-fashioned and unfashioned.

"If you want me to buy you a shirt or other necessities, just say so. I have enough money to do charity, ah sorry I mean to support your daughter." he continued sounding heartbreaking.

He didn't want to respond to her, it was up to him to insult her like what. For the Yardan there is no point in arguing with a fool. Meeting him was just a show off of wealth and making insults, disgusting. Yardan now hates his ex-wife. He's nothing more than a sycophant. Instead the man is grateful to have been separated from a woman like Emma. A bad mother just abandoned her child. Asking for divorce when you know the illness Jasmine suffered. Because it would be troublesome in the future, he chose to end the relationship. Plus the economic conditions are below average, making it stressful and depressed.

"Dad, let's go home. Jasmine didn't want to meet Mom," she whined.

Yardan rubbed his back. "Hey baby, we-we,"

"Ah sorry, I'm old huh?" deline approached the two.

Emma stared at the girl from head to toe. He smiled faintly guessing their relationship. Deline looked at the woman, and a strange feeling began to strike her. Something unusual he was feeling. Yardan immediately invited him to leave, she did not want to linger around the annoying woman. If it continues to be treated by Emma's bad nature, it becomes more and more so.

You must be wondering how the two met, right? So they've been dating since they sat in High School. Emma is Yardan's upperclassman, they fall in love with each other while following the same extracurricular. Relationships go so well that great love makes both forget themselves. Emma's pregnant outside of marriage. At that time he was still in the 3rd grade, while Yardan was below him. Events that affect the future, make them quit school and end up in an unwanted marriage at a young age.

Since that incident both sides of their families relinquished responsibility and let life be independent. At that time Yardan took pains to support his wife, working as a janitor. Pick up trash from the side of the road, then switch as a gardener at a school. All he did was to welcome the presence of his baby.

Complaining is of no use. Dare to take responsibility, right? The biggest regret in Yardan's life was that she had disappointed both of her parents. A fool who has ruined a girl's future. Yardan felt she did not deserve to be forgiven for all the bad behavior she had done in the past.

Deline glanced at Jasmine whom her father was holding on to. The child's epilepsy relapsed on the way home, of course, causing him to panic. Jasmine was unconscious, until now Deline was still upset in her worries about the child. The first experience of seeing someone convulsing because of genetic disorders he suffered.

Seeing Jasmine's condition like that made her unable to bear. She thought about how Yardan felt when she found her daughter in an abnormal state. As parents, you must be sad. During this time only sedatives as a neutralizer of the disease, and somehow impact what if consumed in the long term.

"Would we go to the hospital, sir?" The question finally came out.

"No, I gave him the medicine. You don't have to worry—my message if at any time Jasmine experiences something like this without my presence, would you please give her some medicine? That'll calm him down."

This day the weather is hot, at night it feels sultry. After driving the two home, Deline decided to swim. The swimming pool available at the sister's house made her curious these days. Now is a good time to try it. Enjoy the fresh water at night.

The sound of the door opening distracted him. Deline thought her brother had gone home, but it was wrong. The longer the sound is heard as if made up. As if someone plays the door in a way that is opened and closed continuously. The girl stopped her activities, she grabbed a towel and approached the source of the sound.

"Sister Dan?"

The wind blew against his skin. The cold atmosphere enveloped the atmosphere of the middle space. Okay, there's no mistake that the creature that showed its existence yesterday again. Deline took a deep breath, she knew there was the presence of something uninvited. Never mind, it is better now to take a shower and rest. There's no point in serving those nosy creatures.
