Don't Blame Me

Just Want to Make Sure

Now Foryn is sitting in front of Zoel. He has been smiling ever since he came.

“Can you stop smiling?” asked Foryn who finally opened her voice.

“Fyuuuh ... Finally you talk. What am I wrong to the point that you silenced me like that?” asked Zoel curiously.

Foryn shook his head. “There's nothing wrong with you. It's just .. I'm rethinking, do I really have to come here? Why did I feel so cheap ..” murmured Floryn who again disturbed a piece of lemon in his tea.

Zoel folded his hands in front of his chest. His body he retreated to lean on the back of the chair.

“You are not a cheap woman. What's wrong? Is there anything important you want to say?” ask Zoel.

“So morning my best friend and her husband died ..” Floryn said. "Until now I haven't seen his body or even taken care of their funeral. Police said there was still an autopsy to be performed."

Zoel loosened the folds of his hands. He knew it must be sad for Floryn. Now the sitting position is more advanced and low. He tries to be more sensitive to the interlocutor.

“I'm so sorry, Mom.”

“Actually, you know who killed them. And I've told the police everything ..” explained Floryn.

Hearing such a puzzling explanation, Zoel had no idea what to say. He was silent and looked a bit pale.

“Zoel?” call Floryn when she sees that figure not responding to her words.

“Eh, yes?” sahut later.

“You're fine, right?” ask Foryn to make sure. “Your stomach hurts again?” he added.

“Ah, ti-no. I-I mean, what did that sentence of Mother just mean? You report me to the police?” Apparently Zoel caught the meaning of the other conversation.

Now it's Foryn's turn to be confused. The next second, he patted his own head. To the stupidity he just did. If heard again, Floryn's sentence is very ambiguous.

“It .. I mean Jack. You know him. He's the one who tried to rape me ..” explained Floryn in the end.

“Gosh ... So that guy who killed your best friend? Can you be sure?”

“Yes, the police found evidence and fingerprints everywhere. They said Jack's motive was theft, because all of Cika's valuables had been used up he took her away, ” Floryn replied.

Zoel knew that Floren coming to see him must have had a clear purpose. The woman couldn't possibly come to him just to have a light chat and eat a snack.

“I'll protect you, Ms. Floryn. Don't hesitate. If necessary, I will sleep in the car and stand guard in front of your parents' house ..” Zoel said with confidence.

Of course, it made Floryn a little amused. All day he had some unpleasant news. From his mother, from the police, and from Enrik. But Zoel made her want to laugh.

“Oke .. does not mean that. The police have asked me for a lot of information, and I've explained everything I know including what happened that night. So, most likely the police will see you soon,” explains Floryn.

“Gosh .. I guess what's up. Take it easy, Mom. I will answer the police question correctly. We didn't do anything that night, so I feel safe ..” Zoel murmured.

Hearing that, Floryn felt ashamed of herself. He remembered exactly what happened that night. It might not be a big thing for Zoel, but for him, the night was out of bounds. He never showed his body in front of men other than Enrik. Then appeared Zoel who saved her and ‘mau don't want’ saw her almost naked.

“Good if you think like that.” Floryn raised her hand to look at the current time. It was almost six in the afternoon. That's a sign he should go home because the police say, don't wander around in the dark. It facilitates crime. “Alright ... Then, I'll go home.”

“Eh, do you really want to go? Mom doesn't pity me?” asked Zoel, who had held onto Floryn's hand, not to go far.

Floryn looks confused. “Poor? Would you like to come home with me to the house?” ask Foryn.

“Not so .. these few days there is no news. Can we have dinner first before you go?” ask Zoel expectantly. “At least, eat appetizer, how?” Zoel still persuades.

Floryn's confused. He should not be seen with Zoel in the process of his divorce at this time.

“Sorry, Zoel .. I'd better go home now. They said, I can't stay out of the house too long at night,” explained Floryn who was really bad.

Zoel looks disappointed. However, Floryn's safety is far more important than anything else.

“Alright then. I am disappointed ...,” said Zoel with a forced smile.

After finishing his drink, Zoel drove Foryn back to the car. He knew that there could be no such thing as coercion. His relationship with Foryn is still very raw. Anything can happen in this phase.

In the cafe yard where Floren parked the car, it looks quite crowded. The garden lights are also on. Usually, at night the condition of the cafe Zoel will be much more crowded outside. The visitors do prefer the concept of out door, because they can smoke freely.

“Then, when can we meet again?” zoel asked shortly after Floren got into his car.

“Hhmmm .. I can't be sure. I have to attend the hearing and of course you can't come. And from now on, my activities are limited during the day,” explained Floryn.

Zoel smile. “Oke ...,” said weakly.

“I go first.” Foryn smiled at Zoel.

However, before Floryn could close the windshield, Zoel held down Foryn's hand on the wheel.

“Wait!”

Floryn stop. “Ya?”

“I just want to make sure ... You know that I like you, right?” ask Zoel to the point.

Floryn swallowed the saliva with great difficulty. What answer should he give? Da?

“You know that all this makes me .. not calm. Sorry ... should I wait when the problem is finished.” Zoel took his hand off and retreated from there.

Floryn knew that she was too indifferent to that figure. They both know and have that feeling. Unfortunately, things are not on their side at the moment.

There are a series of problems that require more attention from Floryn. He just wants to finish everything first.

“We must not look very close, Zoel. Notnot now. I'm sorry ...,” said Floryn. He couldn't bear to say it. But how else?

Zoel. Looks like he knew that Floren would still be like that. Maybe it's not the time. Maybe someday there will be a time. Or perhaps, what Floren felt was not the same as what he felt. Could it be that he is in the ‘Sebat Teman’ zone only at this time?

Seriate.
