Everyone was in the car. Gamal and Selia sat in the front, while Anton and Zara were in the back seat.
"This is all because of the behavior of the teenager." Selia starts the conversation in the car. "Have you ever heard the news about a teenager who burned a forest? The flood is getting worse because of her behavior!" said again.
Hearing the topic of Selia's conversation, Gamal and Zara reflexively exchanged glances through the rearview mirror. Because they both know who the teenage boy that Selia talked about. He is none other than Gamal.
When he was in High School, Gamal did not want to be helped. He was almost in prison for accidentally setting fire to the forest with a lit cigarette butt. Even so, the fact is hidden very closely by Afrijal. So not many people know.
Only Gamal and those closest to him knew. Including Zara herself. The incident was also the last time Zara dated Gamal. Just before Afrijal invites Zara to make a deal.
"Yes, I've heard of it. That's a kid more recalcitrant than me. Just imagine. He made the town miserable. Everyone remembers after the forest fire. Smoke is everywhere." Anton responds to Selia's speech. Both of them were unaware that the person they were talking about was in plain sight.
Gamal can only grip the steering wheel firmly. He did it to vent his frustration.
"That's really. Once the smog is gone, it is replaced by flooding. I hope the boy is taught a proper lesson in prison" Selia said. His words made Gamal gnash his teeth behind his clenched mouth. The man is trying to be patient.
"But it looks like the boy came from a rich man. Because the name is kept secret with the media," said Anton who still continues the topic of conversation about forest fires.
"Maybe the boy has changed. After all, the flood disaster is not just caused by the lack of trees. Rubbish dumped can also be the cause." Zara raised her voice to defend Gamal.
"But still the act of burning the forest is wrong" Selia responded. He stays in his stance.
"Man cannot escape from error." Zara returned.
"I knew. But humans have brains, right? So they must know the limits that shouldn't be crossed." Selia began to dislike the resistance Zara impressed cynical.
"You're talking, like you've never done anything wrong." Zara's heart began to grow.
"Yes, I'm a good boy." Selia won't lose.
"Wow. You must have been an angel. Gamal's very lucky." Zara and Selia's conversation started to heat up. Especially when Zara threw the sarcastic sentence.
"You insinuating me?" Selia finally looked back. Staring at Zara with a feeling of annoyance.
"Cell..." Gamal held Selia's arm. He deliberately did it gently, in order for the girl to stop arguing with Zara.
"Udah, don't fight." Anton raised his voice, after Gamal rebuked Selia.
Selia grunts sebal. He and Zara finally shut their mouths. Naturally both managed to lower their emotions. Especially when their car arrives at a hotel.
Zara, Selia and Anton get out of the car first. Then enter the hotel area. They approached the reception desk to reserve a room.
While Gamal, must park the car to a special place in the form of a basement. He got a message from Selia.
'Our room is at number 9.' Such was the sound of a short message sent by Selia.
"We? One dong room, 'inner Gamal. He stopped stepping just to read the message.
When he thought of himself and Selia, Gamal immediately remembered Zara. He was sure Anton had only booked one room. Moreover, their relationship is a husband and wife couple.
I don't know why Gamal was agitated. Feelings of unwillingness just appear.
'Why don't I take it? From the beginning, I knew Zara was married. He also went home to Anton every day. Why do I panic when I hear Zara's room with Anton?' Gamal clucked in annoyance. He showed a troubled face. Then walk to the front of the reception desk.
"Can you help me, Mom?" ask the receptionist with the hair curled.
Gamal sontak. He said, "I ordered a room!"
"Didn't it come the same Ma'am earlier huh? His mother ordered the room. And-"
"I'll keep ordering one more room." Gamal insists. He understood that the receptionist was just trying to tell. But Gamal has made a choice.
"Yes, that's it." The receptionist agreed. He immediately got the room key.
Gamal makes payments with a card. Then give some sheets of money hundreds of thousands.
"What money is this, Mom? Everything is paid by card." The receptionist did not understand.
"To shut your mouth." Gamal answered briefly. He immediately entered the elevator.
While the receptionist was confused, she finally understood. His hand quickly took the money tips given by Gamal.
Gamal finally enters the room where Selia is. The girl welcomed in a state of wearing only a kimono towel.
"I want to soak in the bath up first. You want to shower first? You see, it took me a long time to soak in the bath up." She was standing in front of the bathroom door.
"You go first." Gamal is no problem. She smiled and went into the bathroom.
Gamal sits to the end of the mattress. He picked up the phone and sent a message to Zara.
'For what?' that was the message Gamal sent. Zara just happened to read it. The girl was bored. Next to him was Anton snoring.
'You take a shower, but you're lazy.' Zara replied to Gamal's message.
'I ordered one more room. If you want, just go to room 20. It's on the third floor.' The new message from Gamal made Zara round her eyes. He who had been lazy back, reflexes changed the position to sit.
At the end, Gamal and Zara agree to meet. Before leaving, both of them certainly did not forget to tell their respective partners.
"Cell, I'm going to buy some warm food ahead. You want to?" gamal. Shouts in front of the bathroom door.
"Can. Buy me chicken porridge if there is!" sahut Selia's.
Gamal responded with the word okay. Then move out of the room.
On the other hand, Zara was busy shaking Anton's body slowly. After repeatedly shaking, Anton wakes up. It was only half conscious.
"Why... ah!" moan Anton while scratching his head with a slash.
"I want to buy food out. Want something, don't you? Let me buy it later," Zara bargained.
"Hmmm.. Buy me chicken noodles," Anton said.
Zara nodded. He quickly left the room. Zara came to the third floor. The girl knocked on the door of room number 20.
No need to wait long, the door was opened by Gamal. Zara stepped into the room.
