A World Without Seams

71

Rachel's roommate was excited when she saw Rachel return to the office escorted someone by motorcycle. Rachel just looked down embarrassed but did not respond to her friends' questions.

Finally Rachel was able to find her spirit back after all this time her mind was filled with question marks and other problems.

He ignored the pitying gaze of Andre. He knows Andre may have been disappointed because he hoped for Rachel. Rachel apologized to Andre many times.

Since Rachel was close to Jim, Bram seemed to put some distance between himself and Rachel. He doesn't want to be the cause if Jim doesn't get close to Rachel anymore. She wants Rachel to be happy with her choice. Does Bram have a heart for Rachel? Not currently.

Noey was also a little disappointed because Rachel had rarely invited him to hangout or just sit back at the cafe, spend dusk together after work and then go home. Noey misses the figure of the sister he always invited to tell him about many things.

Several times Rachel went home to her mother's house and stayed there. He was taken by Bram. It makes you happy because it is always visited by Rachel and Bram.

One day, at the end of the week. Rachel was relaxing on the porch alone. Andre came to see him without informing him first. They sit on the terrace.

"What's the matter Ndre? Tumben's here," Rachel said a little awkwardly. Because all this time Andre was seen to keep his distance from him. Either because Andre knows his closeness with Jim or because of rejection the other day.

"I miss.." she said slowly.

"Nwild..."

"I know it's wrong, but I can't lie. I find it hard not to care about you" he said. Rachel did not know what to comment, so she just quietly played the seat pad in her arms.

"Hel.. Can you give me one chance to open your heart" he asked.

"Sorry Ndre, but I have someone I have to fight for,"

"Is he Jim?" ask Andre. Rachel nodded.

"To be honest, he and I have been together for a long time, but there are many things that make us have to keep our distance. I hope you know Ndre, I can't leave him" said Rachel.

"Absolutely no chance for me?" asked Andre looking at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Sorry Ndre, sorry but..."

"Hul... You haven't seen my struggles all this time?" he said as he grabbed Rachel's hands and held them.

"Ndre... Not gini. Sorry if I ever seemed to give you hope, I..."

"You think I'm an escape?" andre asked, holding Rachel's hand. The kingly Rachel pulled his hand but Andre grasped it even more firmly.

"Not that Ndre, but..."

A car entered the parking lot. Then Bram and Noey came up to Rachel. Andre immediately pulled his hand back.

"Well, is he here?" bram asked, raising his chin.

"No, let's go in!" take Rachel.

"I said Hel, I have an appointment to meet someone. Excuse me.." Andre stood up and walked past Noey and Bram.

"If you hurt him a little, you deal with me!" whispered Bram while holding Andre's hand.

"Threat?" asked Andre while laughing sarcastically. He stomps Bram's hand, then walks towards the yard and pulls his car back from Rachel's house.

"Are you okay?" ask Bram.

"It's okay, let's go in!" take Rachel.

"Well, is he here?" lick Bram.

"Just play..."

"Next time, don't let him play here if there's no Noey or me" said Bram, with a flushed face.

"I don't want to be denied! All this time I let him hang out with you, play here. But now limit it!"

"Yes! But before that I need to know why?"

"Already! Just listen to me. Otherwise, I'll take you to your mother's house and I'll sell this house!" said Bram.

"You're over!" said Rachel.

"No! It's for you!"

"No! It's for your ego! What right do you have to forbid me from this and that?"

"Rachel!"

"What's? All this time I've been quiet. I don't dispute you. I asked why you were tickling. If you have a problem with him, solve it! Don't involve me!" said Rachel.

"It's not a problem I'm the same as Hel, understand dong!"

"Yeah, I'm tired of coming with you. You're a nobody. You just help me take care of me. Inget, I'm not a kid to look after and have to report to you!"

"Okay, so you don't want me to interfere anymore!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, if there's anything don't look for me! I've repeated it many times. Andre's not as good as you think!" said Bram. He grabbed a hat on the table and left them. After Bram gets out, starts his car and drives away from the yard and Rachel's tears come out. He sat down crying, upset. Bram always set it up and banned it for no apparent reason. Rachel also needs a reason to stay away from Andre or anyone else.

"Sister.." call Noey.

"I hate Bram, Noey! Why is he so cute!"

"Udah... There may be a reason. Brother calm down first, equally emotional. Later if it's not emotional, you talk,"

"Noey, males! Let her go! I'm males arranged this one,"

"But I mean Bram well. He didn't forbid big brother with Jim's sister, anyway,"

"Design your brother!"

"Sister! That's what it is! Noey is not taking anyone's side" Noey scratched his head.

"So don't want to rest! You too, if you want to eat it in the back. Brother's tired!" rachel said, she went from the living room to her room.

He lay in his room staring at the ceiling of his room while crying. He hated being a helpless man. And he also hated Bram who blatantly forbade it. Who's Bram? Just a close friend. Not more.

Andre sent him a short message.

Sorry if I disturbed you, sorry for what happened.

Just a short message. Rachel is lazy to reply. He ignored Andre's message.

Why is it so hard to be close to you?

Again, he sent Rachel a short message. Rachel turns off her phone and tries to take a nap. His current feelings were more painful given his commotion with Bram than remembering Andre.

Rachel is upset Bram does not understand what is really happening and scolds him. Lau blatantly hates Andre. What problems have they had in the past? Bram hates Andre so much? In the past, at school, they got along well. For some reason now his aura of hostility was more dominant.

Rachel slept facing the window that led to the playground. If Jim hadn't lost his memory. If only he could see Jim rehearsing back in the park. If Jim were there for him, Andre would not be here and there would be no animosity between Bram and Andre. If Jim... Waitaminute! Jim... Her...

Just be with...
