Canticles

64. Lilian

Bayu smiled and then shifted away to receive a phone call from someone Lilian believed to be her special friend. Lilian used the opportunity to escape. But before going out he had to turn his head and saw Bayu was making a video call with a woman dressed as** and even tend to have long**ng to make him sick.

From a distance of several meters Lilian could hear Bayu's conversation with the woman. Although using a foreign language, Lilian knew that the woman was teasing Bayu by showing her body through the video call connection.

At that time Lilian realized that Bayu was no longer the same Bayu as a year ago when Lilian received her love. Bayu who is now in front of him is only a perverted man who justifies all means so that his desires can be fulfilled immediately.

Lilian arrived at the courtyard of Bayu's house and immediately ran out towards the highway. He does not care about the call of Bayu who continues to pursue him. Luckily, a taxi stopped in front of Lilian. The taxi driver opened the door for the girl and shouted to Lilian.

" Go in Neng...!" call the taxi driver in a loud voice.

Lilian nodded and went into the taxi. After that the driver advanced his Taxi at high speed leaving Bayu who shouted furiously because the hunt was off.

In Taxi Lilian cried loudly to make the old Taxi driver was pity.

" Thank God he didn't chase. The patient Neng. Scorch let her fear diminish," said the taxi driver as he thrust the tissue box at Lilian.

" Thank you sir..," Lilian said as she grabbed a few pieces of tissue to wipe away her tears.

" Together.., " said the Taxi driver with a smile.

Then Lilian mentioned her home address and the Taxi driver nodded in agreement. Half an hour later they arrived at the front of the house and Lilian immediately handed over two hundred thousand rupiah to the driver.

" It's mostly Neng.." said the Taxi driver.

" Gapapa sir, take it for you. I can not repay the kindness of the Father because it has helped me escape from the breng**k it..," said Lilian.

" I do it sincerely because of Allah Neng. Save it for Neng, make snacks." said the Taxi driver as he put a piece of money hundreds of thousands in Lilian's palm.

" But sir..," Lilian's remark was interrupted by a quick cut by the driver.

" I just want to promise you one thing. In the future Neng must be careful and not easily believe the same sweet mouth of men, no matter how close your relationship..," said the Taxi driver with a serious face mimic.

The words of the taxi driver made Lilian moved. He nodded then said something that made the taxi driver sigh in relief and then smiled.

" Yes Sir. I promise to be careful, " said Lilian with a choked voice.

" good. I say yes, Assalamualaikum.., " said the Taxi driver then forwarded his Taxi leaving Lilian.

Lilian rushed in as the door opened. Lilian's arrival was greeted by Rex who seemed to be standing behind the door while looking at her suspiciously.

" Sister why, where is Bang Bayu ?. Didn't Brother just go with him...?" ask Rex.

Instead of answering his sister's question, Lilian cried and ran into the room. Rex looked at the older brother with a confused look. But a second later Rex shook his head.

" Ck, dating people are really drama. Far away kangen, if you meet a storm. You freak.." - Rex grumbled as he passed.

But since that day Rex never again saw Bayu come to visit the house. Several times Rex tried to ask but always got an unpleasant response. In addition to forbidding Rex to discuss Bayu, Lilian also warned Rex not to open the door for Bayu if he came to visit later.

" I have to know why I can't open the door for him. That's not polite, sister...!" rex protests riled.

" But Brother was afraid to meet him Rex..," Lilian said softly to make Rex surprised.

" Fear why ?. Bang Bayu rough same Sister ?. He hit Brother ?. Wherever you go, sister, let me reply later...!" said Rex angrily while raising his sleeve.

" But promise don't tell me the same father Mother Yes Rex, please..," Lilian pinta.

Then Lilian told him what she was going through. Hearing Lilian's story, Rex was furious. He promised that he would make Bayu regret if he dared to come and harass his brother.

" Sister calm down. It's a secret we both have. I'm not going to say that bajing*n that deketin brother again even if only the tip of the nail..," said Rex while hugging Lilian tightly.

" Thank you Rex. This time Big Brother really hopes that you can act decisively with him.", Lilian said.

" God willing, Brother." said Rex steady to make Lilian smile.

Since then Lilian let her brother be a free body guard for her. Knowing Lilian was always escorted by Rex made Bayu did not dare to approach Lilian. One reason is because Bayu knows if Rex is deep in martial arts. In addition Bayu also had seen the way Rex got rid of the people who disturbed his beautiful sister.

Although always looks relaxed on the surface, Lilian is actually afraid to fall in love again. He closed the door of his heart very tightly because he had difficulty believing the sincerity of the man who came to him. Bobi, Taufan and Rangga were only a few men who had been close to him. The rest Lilian always kept her distance.

In addition to the younger brother, Lilian only felt comfortable and safe when adjacent to Gama. But unfortunately since that night's kiss incident Lilian seems to build a high wall to protect her from Gama's reach.

That night it rained heavily on Jakarta. The rain that had fallen since that afternoon made the air feel very cold piercing to the bone.

Gama seems to close his jacket because it cannot withstand the cold. He stood by an upstairs window watching the highway jammed by the puddles that filled the road. The riders must be extra patient when passing if they do not want to be mired in a hole disguised by water.

While observing the road, Gama saw a motor driven into his workshop by two people who looked soaked.

" Why is the bike...?" greet Ipung kindly while helping push the motor into the workshop.

" No tau Mas. Suddenly broke down in the middle of the road there.," said the man while opening his helmet.

" Sit down first. Let us check for a moment" Ipung said.

" Ok, thank you. Lian here, why outside...!" call the man in a loud voice.

Hearing Lilian's name being mentioned, the three Gama employees turned their heads and smiled at Lilian.

" Lillian's sister anyway, who's kirain...!" sapa Riki represents his two friends.

" Yes, how are you guys...?" lillian asked stalely while smiling.

" Alhamdulillah both Mbak..," said Ipung, Edi and Riki together.

Lilian circulated her gaze and her gaze stopped on the figure of Gama who was currently descending the stairs.

Gama calmly approached Lilian and greeted the girl and the man who had come with her.

" Don't expect you to know the owner of the workshop and his employee Li..," whispered the man cynically.

" They're my sister's friends. It's only natural that I know them.., '" said Lilian reluctantly.

Gama did not seem distracted by Lilian's answer. He was busy watching Lilian's wet clothes. Then Gama took off his jacket and put it on Lilian's shoulder.

" This pake let him not catch a cold," said Gama as he passed.

Lilian looked nervous while the man who was with her seemed to stare dislike towards Gama.
