"WHERE ARE YOU TAKING DIRA, ARFEN?!" Axell asked after approaching and began to clutch at Arfen's uniform collar.
"Udah, Xell. Hold on to your emotions!" Lerai Verrel who suddenly came along with the others. Verrel's hand tried to pull Axell's hand that was still firmly perched on the collar of the Arfen uniform.
"Gue knows for sure, Rail. He's the one who brought Dira. My eyes are never wrong." Axell said he was very sure of what he saw.
Bastian pulled Axell along when he saw the man's hand clutch slip off the collar of Arfen's shirt and carried him slightly away.
"Take off me, Bas! I won't be able to diem, if you don't know where Dira is." Axell.
"Gue there's news that's sure to calm you down, Xell!" Bastian's whisper was slow, and could only be heard by Axell. Axell quiet. He looked at Bastian and then turned to look at Arfen he didn't like.
"Lo's wife is in the apartment. Mending Lo a flip." Bastian whispered again and successfully made Axell look at Bastian as if asking for an explanation.
'Bastian knows where?'
"Tomorrow I wait for an explanation from Lo, Bas!" Axell then left the place.
But, just as Axell was about to grab the door handle to open it, the man stopped the movement of his hand and turned to look at Arfen, "Our business is not finished yet." Say it and leave after the door opens.
"AXELLO, WAIT!" Call Arfen who is now following Axell's steps, but did not get any response from the man. Axell accelerated his pace. Axell doesn't want to see Arfen's annoying face anymore. There is a more important right than this. That ensures the state of Dira now.
"LO DENGERIN, XELL. HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO... YOU MISUNDERSTAND. NOT ME!" Shouted Arfen deliberately so that what he said could Axell hear.
And it's true. What Arfen said just now, Axell could hear it. Even very clearly. Not only Axell, all cafe visitors also listened to what Arfen said. Instantly Arfen became the center of attention of all visitors at the Serenity Cafe.
But what Arfen said earlier did not succeed in making Axell stop. Axell wasn't even interested, even turning his head. Axell preferred to continue his steps to go home soon and meet Dira. And left all his friends who were still in the cafe.
'Guess I don't care. I forgot all about it, Anj*ng!'
Even in his heart Axell still cursed. He was upset, why is it still reminded of events that even Axell had forgotten about him for a long time.
For Axell, what Arfen said just now was useless. It's all over. He was angry and did not care. After all, Axell already knew the truth.
"Gue wonder. Is it crazy, or is it crazy? Very fond feeling looking for problems with Axell, my Herman!" A sudden sneer came out of Bastian's mouth for Arfen.
Verrel who had heard Bastian's sneer chuckled in amusement, "Both times, Bas! Same with kek Lo! It's crazy." Verrel.
Bastian shook his head, "He's more insane than I am, Rel. As crazy as I am, at least I never try to make a name for what already belongs to someone else, Rel! Not to her." Bastian answered while pointing at Arfen and then left and followed by Verrel.
While Nayla and Melody have gone home first when they find out where Dira is and also make sure that he is okay.
"Lo what's the matter, anyway, bro?" Asked Reon who had been silent.
"Whose guess? You bothering Axello's girl?" Sahut Erka who was also curious.
Not answering, Arfen only shook his head faintly.
...***...
A girl walks out of an elevator with a black Hoodie wrapped around her waist. The girl was seen holding her chest area which felt increasingly crowded coming home from the park earlier.
The girl who was none other than Dira immediately entered his apartment when the door had been successfully opened. Take the hoddie off his waist and put it on the couch.
Dira then walked to the closet to find a paper bag that he might still keep neatly in the closet.
After finding the paper bag she was looking for, she returned to the sofa where she placed Hoodie which would probably later be the source of a series of questions from Axell, her husband. He grabbed the Hoddie and put it in a paper bag and put it in the closet.
Yes, Dira's asthma is relapsing. Even since someone took him away in a way that could be said to be unusual earlier.
Actually the person who took Dira away earlier had absolutely no evil intentions. He just wanted to meet and talk to Dira for a while. More precisely asking the news he heard these days from his best friend, Nayla. It's just, the way he took Dira away, wrong.
Flashback.
Grebb!
"Emmmbhhhs...
"Ssttt. don't be afraid, Dir. It's me." A familiar voice from someone who was now smothering his mouth.
Hearing the voice, Dira became able to calm down a little, at least, the person who did such a thing to her was not a bad person.
Feeling Dira who began to calm down, the man finally released Dira and switched to grasping the two hands of the girl.
"I'm afraid, I miss. Long time no see Lo, I almost crazy, Dira ... There's something I want to say to you too Lo, yes, Dir!" The man pleaded.
"But, Ar-
"Gue's gonna take Lo somewhere. Pleases... Want, yeah... Promise halt. I just want to talk to you, Lo!" The man's words cut off the words that would come out of Dira's mouth.
Hearing the pleading speech of the guy earlier made Dira look at him pity. However, before he married Axell, the guy who was none other than Arfen was the one who filled Dira's days. Accompany him in times of joy and sorrow. And Arfen is also the one who is always there when Dira needs him in any situation. Including accompanying Dira through heavy days when abandoned by Kaka and his mother.
Soon Arfen takes Dira to a flower garden. Although the atmosphere is still hot, but in the park there are many trees that make the garden feel cool. In addition to park benches, in the park there are also several gazebos that are provided for visitors.
Not wanting to waste time, Arfen immediately brought Dira to one of the gazebos. He needs to talk some things with Dira. Arfen knew, they didn't have much time, because right now there must be many who were looking for Dira's whereabouts.
"That..." Call Dira lirih. "... Do you really want to talk about me?" Ask.
Arfen sighed softly, realizing that Dira was uncomfortable with this situation. "Are you the same Axello?" One question came straight out unceremoniously from Arfen's mouth after the two had just kept quiet.
Dira stared at Arfen's face at a glance. The handsome face that had always accompanied him. But why, looking at Arfen's face now, suddenly appeared a sense of guilt in Dira's heart.
In the end Dira nodded slowly, "Yes." Answer's short.
Arfen smiled wryly. It was hard to accept what he heard from Dira.
'Why should he, anyway, Dir?' Inner Arfen sighed.
"How long is the road?" Ask again.
"New two months maybe." Dira answered while looking down at his feet playing with grass down there. He did not want to look at the face of Arfen who now Dira sure was staring at him.
"Lo happy with her?" Again the question came from Arfen's mouth. Really, it might hurt, but Arfen really needs this answer. The answer will lead Arfen to take the next step.
"Ar. I have to go home..." Instead of answering, Dira instead switched the conversation.
"Gear me, Dir! Answer my question!" Arfen breathed. "... I need Lo's answer."
Dira turned towards Arfen. It seemed like he had to do this for his best friend to stop expecting him. "Yes. I'm happy. Axell's a good man and he can always take care of me. Axell made me happy, Ar."
Arfen Kemabli smiled, a smile that was again forced. In accordance with the promise he had said that day, he will release Dira to the person who really can and deserves to be happy and take care of Dira.
"Means I really have to take off Lo, Dir?"
