The school bell rings echo on the whole building, indicates that the class ended. Georgina fix her things in silent as the others bid goodbye to their teacher. After talking with her mother, she only realize something. If she can't let her go then, it's better to ruin each other.
"G-Gina, let's go home toge—" she stand up before Marga can approach her.
"Hon, are you going home? Don't you have anything to do after class?"
"I have personal thing to do,"
She's about to leave the room but Jaceriel grab her wrist. "Any problem?"
"I'll talk to you later,"
After saying those words he let go of her hand, let her leave the room with no question. He look towards Marga who is still in shock because of what she acted and turn back to where Georgina. Eyes will never lie even your mouth can, he knows something is going on but didn't know any details. He shrug his head and went outside also.
On the other side, Georgina went to the rooftop—hopes to see Giovanni Javier and her instinct is right. He's standing in front of the railing propped his right hand under the chin while the other one leans on the railing. Like her, he's under the deep thoughts watching the sunset. A long silence echo between as the strong winds came, made their hair fly away with it.
"Do you need anything from me?" He asked without looking back.
"I'll help you to get revenge on my mother, tell me your plan."
"You should think twice Gia, even if you help me with this plan it doesn't mean I'll forgive you. This is just an interest for your debt."
"I'll pay the interest first then,"
She heard him chuckle as he walk towards her direction with serious gaze. All of a sudden, her heart skips a beat, just looking at him with those gaze and the way his hair sway as the wind blows make him look cool. The moment she realize all the thoughts runs through her mind, she look away—clasp both hand. Giovanni stop in front, lifts her chin to face him. For a moment, they just stare to each other.
"The debt you owe me is our personal problem, we should deal with it ourselves but the interest is a problem that our parents got involve too." He said brushing his thumb on her lips that gives shivers down her spine. "If you want my forgiveness then obey me, if you don't its fine. Let's just stick with paying the interest... Do you understand me?"
"A-ah..."
"Is it a deal or not?"
"O-okay, I'll do it. Both the debt and interest," she said. "I'll pay for everything... Tell me whatever you want."
"Good. Let's see each other in the cafe near the bus stop. Jin is already waiting there." He let go of her chin and walk away.
******
It's already past six o'clock in the evening when Giovanni came to their meeting place. Almost thirty minutes past since she came to meet Jin. She didn't get bored besides Jin fill up some information about the plan.
There's a lot of people inside the cafe, noises from here and there echoes as the background music plays. Both Jin and Georgina already ordered some food to eat while waiting for him.
"Do you want me to buy a drinks for you? Why it took you so long?" Jin asked but instead to answer he sit beside him.
"Sorry for the long wait, it's just I can't leave Kiela for a while..."
Georgina almost splash the drink in front of Jin on what she heard but lucky to handle it right away.
"Gina are you okay?"
"Y-yeah... Let's proceed to the plan,"
Giovanni get something inside his bag, it's a brown envelope. He give it to her, though still confuse she accept it and look what's inside. There's a document of bank transaction, phone calls and picture inside. All of it has something to do with her mother.
"This is only the information we gathered through connection. You can tell that there's something wrong in there. Since she start to manage your family business, a frequent bank transfer happened. There's also a same number she's been calling this past few years, a same account ti transfer money and same person to meet up with," Giovanni said.
"You're mother has a power and connection we can't even reach but..."
"She's laundering money from the company," the two man look at her with surprise.
"Gina, how did you kn—"
"It's not like I know it for so long," she said, scan all documents. "I don't know how the business world works but this man is a money launderer." She pointed out the picture of the man who's her mother talking.
"How did you know? Do you have any connection with a money launderer now?" Giovanni asked.
"Back when I was in States, his face is all over the country. Who knows he'll hide here."
"Since you know that, let's skip the explanation. Our plan is to make your mother go to jail, evidence is the thing we need. Pictures is not enough, a concrete evidence is what I want."
"Van is right, we need to find a hole in her perfect mask. Hidden properties by using a laundered money, laundering transaction and the launderer..." Jin added. "Your father can hel—"
"No. Dad is not doing well, I don't want him to burden the evil doings of that witch. It might be a long process but I'll try to get information inside the company."
A silence came between the three again. Georgina look at the picture again as she grit her teeth in anger.
"Jin will continue to follow her since they never met before, I'll do something about the launderer and widen my connection so, the thing you need to do is to find a concrete evidence inside your family company and her hidden properties. Hope the plan is clear to all of us," Giovanni said.
"I'll do it."
They stay inside the cafe for a few minutes before going out. Jin told them he'll go ahead because he need to watch for her mother so, they let him.
An awkward silent came in-between them as soon as Jin is gone. There's a one meter distance gap while waiting for a cab to came. The cold wind blows as a thundersounds came. You can't see any stars above or the moon. It seems like any minute the heavy rain will come. Her guts happened in just a few minutes as a huge drop of rain came. Many people run towards in front of the cafe, sheltered themselves to not get drench. Since people got pack, Georgina has been pushed beside Giovanni.
There are many noise in every direction as the sound of raindrops echo. She try hard not to look on Giovanni's direction but someone accidentally push her behind. She almost lost balance but an arm wrap on her belly to support. Again, a loud beating sound of her heart came as if it won't stop.
"Hey, don't push people infront. It's dangerous." He said to a man behind her.
"S-sorry, my bad."
He let go of her as soon as she stand properly. They become silent again while waiting for a cab to came but no one pass by. It takes another twenty minutes of wait before a cab stop in front of them. Giovanni open the back door and turn to her.
"Get inside," he said.
"H-huh? N-no, go home first."
"I said get inside,"
"We have opposite wa—"
"Should I drag you inside or let the other take the cab?"
"O-okay,"
She went inside the car and as soon as he close the door, the driver starts to drive. No words came out to her mouth, just a pure awkwardness. She look outside the window to distract herself since her heart doesn't stop from beating fast. At first the drive went well and smooth but in the middle of the main road, a traffic jam came and they get stuck on the same location.
She's about to close her eyes but notice a familiar place near them. It's an old park, the fountain looks old and not even working but the tree house are still there. The place look an abandoned one, any minute they can destroy it and change for a better one. Back then, it's a place full of memory. A special place that Giovanni and her treasure the most. A slight genuine smile escape her lips as she remember the past when they are still together.
"Ma'am are you a regular to that place?" The driver asked.
"A-ah... Y-yeah, before."
"It's a good place but they'll going to make it an amusement park very soon."
"I-I see..."
She lean on the window and close her eyes. 'There's no such thing as permanent in this world,' she thought to herself as the past came inside her mind.
