"LENE!" A woman's voice shouted to her.
Syene and Etan turned around. Syene's once slightly cheerful face instantly became sour when she knew who called out to her.
"What else is it?" Ask Syene lazily.
"Uh my goodness. You and Etan are in contact? So you don't want to be the old man's girlfriend anymore?" Lina asked insultingly.
"That's none of your business! With whoever I'm related to it's none of your business." Syene pointed to her cousin.
"Yes yes. It's none of my business. Ah, let me take a picture of you for me to make a collection. I'm sure after this you'll split up and this lousy cousin of mine will be looking for another old man." Lina directs her phone trying to take pictures of Syene and Etan.
BRINE
Syene brushes Lina's hand until her expensive phone falls to the floor.
"You'd better be glazed Lina! You say myself like a ja**ng, but you yourself don't even hesitate to get fucked by those old men you call that. Clean yourself up before you put a stain on someone else's body!" Syene just left Etan and Lina.
"Stupid!" It was Etan who went after Syene.
"SHENEY! JUST WATCH OUT FOR YOU! I WILL DEFINITELY REPAY YOU FOR TODAY!" Lina shouted without a care for the surrounding people who were already paying attention to her.
••••••
"Hey, are you okay?" Etan aligned his steps with Syene who was walking so fast.
"Stay away from me!" Let's say Syene's upset.
"Why? Because of Lina's words? You don't need to hear it, he's been like that since he was a kid." Etan tried to persuade his friend.
"Go Etan! I want to be alone." Syene threw out her hand, which Etan had managed to reach.
"Why? You don't feel confident anymore?" Etan pulled Syene's hand until the girl's steps came to a halt and turned around.
"What would it be like if I was in a relationship with a man much older than me?" Syene asked with teary eyes and trembling lips.
"There's nothing wrong with what you chose Syene. What's wrong is if you hook up with someone's husband or snatch someone you shouldn't have." Etan grabbed Syene into his arms.
"Why have I always been demeaned. Having no parents, being traumatized by something that took the lives of my parents, even when I found someone who made me feel comfortable and connected to him, it was all wrong in their eyes. Why do I always have to be wrong?" Syene punched Etan in the back.
"Already! Don't you think about what they're saying. What matters is that those who love you never doubt you. People who don't like you will always have a way to bring you down, but people who love you will never ask how holy you are. They'll stay and hold you in any circumstance." Etan calmed his best friend and stroked his long hair.
"Don't cry anymore. Let the truth punish them. Come on, I'll take you home." Etan broke his embrace and wiped Syene's tears.
"Sheen?" Someone called him and Syene already knew who it was.
"Other times. Thanks for the deal." Syene smiled and turned towards Griffith who was not far from her.
"Well.your life.complicated Syene." Etan gave a small smile looking at Syene and Griffith who had already moved away from him.
••••••
"You why? Is something bothering you?" Ask Griffith worried.
"I'm fine. Just my eyes were in the dust." Syene.
"Don't lie, baby! You're not good at lying. Tell me who's bothering you!" Griffith took his lover into his arms.
"Griff, what difference in our distant age will be our barrier to happiness? I'm afraid that one day it'll make our relationship complicated." Syene hugged her man as if afraid of losing.
"I'm just afraid our relationship won't be that easy." Syene looked up at Griffith's handsome face.
"Everything will be easy if you don't think about the words of an insignificant person. The opposite is true." Griffith cut her nose until Syene blushed.
"Why can you do that with Etan? Your phone I can't call at all." Griffith's friendly face had now turned into a bit of a jutek.
"Ah mobile. Still with Etan." Instead of answering, Syene whined.
"My answer is Syene Addison!" Griffith took off his embrace and held both of Syene's shoulders firmly.
"sorry. She came to me at college and invited me to eat together. I wanted to let you know, but she took my phone and held it." Syene was a little frightened to see the flash of anger on Griffith's face.
"What if he's mean to you? You're sloppy!" Griffith let Syene go and nudged his lover's forehead.
"I'm sorry. I really don't lie." Syene grabbed Griffith's one hand and pleaded.
"I'm sorry this time. But don't you ever repeat it again or I'll completely ban you from being friends with anyone including him." Threat Griffith.
"All right, dear Mr. Akayama. I promise I won't repeat." Syene cengenesan saw her man's annoyed face.
"Have it, his face don't pout like that!" Syene held onto both of Griffith's cheeks and pinched him lightly.
Griffith kept an annoyed face and stared intently at him. Syene smiled cunningly and approached her lover. Without a cue and a request for permission, the girl pressed her lips against Griffith's lips and kissed him gently. Griffith would not want to smile immediately to receive the lumataan of his lover.
"Ekhem...Sir in front is a cop conducting a raid." Drex cleared his throat loudly resuscitating the two lovebirds who were being drunk.
"What does this have to do with me, Drex? You're the one driving. Just disturb." They had to stop their romantic scenes because of Drex's disorder.
"I'm just afraid they think I'm bringing you a perverted partner." Drex smiled ignorantly glancing at the two especially Syene who hid her face on Griffith's chest.
"You just focus on your job! Don't talk too much." Griffith stared intently at his subordinates, annoyed that they were already interfering with his pleasure.
"How can I focus if they're making out behind my back?" Mumbled Drex did not accept. He stopped the car right in the area of the traffic police conducting a raid.
"While raiding what Chief?" Ask Drex pleasantries while showing the requested letters.
"Did you see this girl? Or did you get to meet him?" Ask the officer in front of Drex while showing a photo. Drex's eyes immediately rounded but he quickly returned to normal.
"I don't know Chief. I've never seen a girl that pretty. Have you finished the examination?" Ask Drex politely.
"May we look into your car and the trunk?"
"Please Chief. I just brought my boss and his girlfriend." Drex went downstairs to open Griffith's trunk door to the policemen.
"Everything's safe. Please continue your journey." Tell the police when they're done checking.
"Thank you." Drex got back in the car and drove off.
"I didn't expect Brennan to be so violent that it led the police to look for Arina." Syene became worried.
"Calm down! Arina will be safe there. Brennan won't be that easy to find." Griffith persuaded Syene.
"Hopefully."
