AND

CHAPTER 33

Arriving in Bandung, I entered the house and was surprised to see Sally sitting on the sofa while looking at me coldly. I think his mood is not okay.

I smiled cheerfully at him with an innocent face. "Hay baby, today you're not looking after the cafe? Close cafe?" I asked because I left my cafe with Sally.

Sally turned her face away and replied flatly, "Yes, I was going to the cafe to pick you up on the trip. But, when I met your friends, he said you didn't come home with them, you went home with them when."

"Yes, I went home with Bila. Sorry I didn't tell you. I used to want to be anterin until travel, but when maksa nganterin I took to Bandung. I don't feel good refusing an offer from Bila," I explained in a guilty tone.

"Where did you go? How was the old camera?" ask Sally

I was surprised, then looked at Bila's face in confusion. I've never seen a face like this. His eyes turned sharp like a shiny blade. Sally looks very angry. I feel so guilty.

"Mm, yeah, we. And my problem is why until here a little long because it was in the middle of the road we rest, just eat and talk" I replied in a stammering tone.

"Do you not know?" ask Sally in a high tone. "I'm worried about waiting for you here. I'm afraid anything happens to you. But you're even excited to talk to him."

My hands were cold, and I said, "Sorry Sal, I was wrong."

"Aren't you aware that there are people here who are very worried about you?" asked Sally with teary eyes.

"Darling, I didn't mean to worry you at all" I said, stroking his head.

I saw Sally breathing heavily. He turned his eyes away from me. "Yes," said Sally, holding her bag on the chair.

"But you have to promise me, you won't repeat" Sally said.

I nodded with a nod.

"So next time you know if there's anything it says, no one's hiding, no one's being covered up" he warned me.

I nodded in understanding, then smiled at him until he left. I've never seen him like that.

Sal, sometimes I can't be alone fighting over when, I need your help. I need your support. Otherwise, I'll think a lot more. And it's about the mistakes I've made. Moments like this I wish you were here, Sal, beside me.

I'm sorry Sal, for all the mistakes I've ever made. And all the love that is not intact to you. I'm sorry Sal.

I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't mean to cover this up with you Sal, I just didn't feel good about it because I was so caring about your feelings, sorry I'm Sal.

But Sal, I chose to be fine today, even though you started out with a sense of doubt. Next time I'll tell you Sal. It will be hard for me, and for you.
