A World Without Seams

12

Rachel and Cecil sit in the back seat, while Bram drives with Tania sitting on the other side. They were only silent during the trip only occasionally was the sound of Cecil's sobs was still heard.

Arriving at Rachel's house they came down. They sit in the living room. Rachel brought cold drinks for all of them.

"Why you?" ask Bram to Cecil. Cecil just silently played a finger on his lap.

"Cil?" Rachel shook Cecil's shoulder. He just shut up and stay down. They don't want to force Cecil to speak. Rachel escorts Cecil to the guest room and lets the girl clean up and get some rest.

When Rachel returned to the living room, Tania was chatting with Noey while laughing. Rachel went to the kitchen to see Bram there.

"You know Cecil?" ask Rachel. Bram turned his back and drank water from his glass.

"Bram!" call Rachel again. Bram simply shrugged and left Rachel whose forehead was wrinkled questioningly.

"Darling, are we going to my house?" tania asked when Bram came.

"Sorry next time Tania, I'm sorry. I'll take you home. I'll stop by the day after tomorrow" said Bram.

"But why?" tania asked, disappointed look on her face.

"Why not, let me drop off" Bram asked. Tania tells Noey and Rachel and follows Bram outside.

"What the hell is it?" ask Rachel. Noey just shrugged his shoulders.

"Where is Cecil?" ask Noey

"Oh yeah almost forgot," Rachel headed to the guest room and knocked on the door calling Cecil. Cecil came out with a face still puffy.

"Have you not taken a shower?" rachel asked, Cecil shook his head.

"I don't have a change of clothes" said Cecil. Rachel patted her forehead then ran to her room picking up a pair of clothes and a towel. After saying thank you, the door closed.

Rachel did not take a headache and sat down with Noey to enjoy a snack while watching television.

Before long Cecil joined them, although his face and eyes were swollen he was fresher and already smiling.

"Your silence...?" point at Rachel as she looks at Rachel's forehead on the right slightly wound and bruised. Also on his neck and hands. He tried to cover up but Rachel by forcing a look at the bruise on Cecil's body.

"I'm fine" Cecil tried to avoid.

"No! This why? Story dong, if you don't want to tell a story I don't want to be your friend anymore" threatened Rachel.

"Well, what is it?" said Cecil.

"What do you think this story should be?" rachel asked pointing at Rachel's bruised body part.

"I fought with my guy" he replied slowly, tears flowing again.

"Certainly? he made your body bruise like this?" ask Rachel. Cecil did not answer, he just nodded. Rachel hugged him and calmed down Cecil who came back crying.

"Can I stay here?" cecil asked after his crying subsided.

"That's right, I'm here by myself. Most Noey who put me here. You stay here whenever you want" said Rachel.

"Thank you, Hel, I don't know where to go. I was afraid to meet Adit. He is the son of temperament and jealousy. Although he was finally sorry but I was tired of having to be an outlet for his anger," said Cecil.

"Since when has he been rude to gini?" ask Rachel.

"A year after we've been together" said Cecil.

"How are you quiet? not a story" said Rachel.

"I'm afraid Hel, I'm afraid you'll be victims of Adit, too,"

"We're reporting Adit, yes" said Rachel. Cecil shook his head strongly.

"No, I'm afraid he'll get revenge. Let him get his reward later" said Cecil.

"But... "

"Please, I'd like to see a reply for him. Prison will not deter him" said Cecil, squeezing his hand.

"Related?" ask Rachel. Cecil nodded for sure.

"I'm safe, he doesn't know where I am. That's enough" said Cecil. Rachel hugged him. Poor to see Cecil who turned out to often experience acts of violence.

Rachel was glad she wasn't alone in the house anymore. During this time he wanted to invite Cecil to stay at his house because he knew Cecil also lived in boarding houses. But Cecil often refused even when there was a get-together with office friends he preferred not to join. Maybe Adit is the cause.

Bram returns to Rachel's house after dropping off Tania.

"I'm fine" replied Cecil. Rachel and Noey only saw the interaction of the two of them.

"Look!" Bram forcibly pulled Cecil's hand and examined it.

"Udah, I'm fine" said Cecil.

"Flash all this," said Bram.

"Udah please, it's been a long time. It will soon be healed" said Cecil.

"You want a visa? let's report,"

"No! I don't want to,"

"But... "

"Please Bram, I don't want to. Don't force me. I can sneeze this. Okay?" said Cecil.

"Uhmmm... Can anyone explain this to you...?" rachel asked to interrupt the two people who were engrossed in her world and her attention.

"He. you are clear, later he does not understand," said Bram pointed to Rachel.

"I'm dead," protested Rachel.

"Emang" said Bram.

"Hihihi.he's my ex" said Cecil.

"YES?!?" Rachel couldn't believe it.

"It's a habit to get in, get in laler!" said Bram.

"Then anyway? Sure?" ask Rachel.

"Can't you believe I have an ex?" said Bram.

"Ho 'oh... AWwww, I,!" Rachel took it because Bram took her.

"The abbot." said Rachel.

"What?" asked Bram fiercely.

"Udah ah, you guys are fighting. Yes, he's my ex, Hel. It's been a long time and I didn't expect to see him" Cecil said with a smile.

"It turns out the world is as wide as moringa leaves, uh how do you want the same Bram, he did... "

"Beauty!" Bram cuts off Rachel's conversation in gibah mode.

"Hmmh.. error!" Rachel said.

"Sister, Noey is hungry," suddenly there was one sound interrupting. They all laughed, even Cecil laughed.

"Yuk, I'm buying. Where do you want to eat?" ask Bram. Cecil.

"When you eat at home? I was afraid to go out" said Cecil.

"Again, I'm tired too. It was just a delivery meal for all of us" said Rachel.

"Who paid for who?" ask Bram.

"You are the one, you're the one who's upset" Rachel said with a laugh.

Bram with a sullen face ordered food for all of them. While waiting for the order to arrive, they watched television.

Before long the food courier came, they immediately ate food while telling a lot of things.

"Sister, I was on the phone by chance. I got a part time job at the store. It's good to add later if you go to college" Noey said.

"Well, what's the job there? later you are tired, let my brother think about your tuition," said Bram.

"No ah, later if less new brother addedin. I want to be independent, brother," Noey said.

"Relatedly? all this junk money," tease Bram. Noey laughed while shaking his head.

"I'm iyes, anyway" said Rachel.

"Big No for you mah" said Bram. They all laugh.
