Seeing the look of that disappointed face, Merlin suddenly realized his joke just now. He's trying to get things back together.
"No. I was just kidding. Don't win my words with a serious face, young master."
"Your joke hurt my heart."
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"That's all?"
"Well .. that's all. What then? What do you want again?"
'When did you realize this feeling, Merlin? But ... If you are insensitive until this second, it is also not your fault. Rather, it is my fault, because I do not have the guts to express my heart to you. Not everyone can understand the feelings of others. Because we are not shamans or fortune-tellers who know the contents of people's hearts just by looking also observe the face.'
Dicky was silent with his own thoughts. While Merlin, again gave a strange look to the young man who was before him at this moment.
"Dic, daydreaming in the morning can't be, you know" said Merlin as he prepared to leave Dicky.
"Wait on! Don't go yet. You're coming with me, right?" dicky asked, holding Merlin's hand, to keep the woman from leaving.
"Looks, no. Because I don't want you to do anything no later."
"You mean? What's not-unlike?"
"You bought a hotel on my behalf, that's not the right thing for me, Dicky."
"Not really where, Lin? Tell me what's on your mind right now."
"Dic, I'm not ready to accept the hotel on my behalf. You know why? Because the hotel was so incredibly expensive. Maybe I can pay for everything you gave me. While what I did for you there was not a small pinch of what you gave me. How can I repay you later if you keep making me owe you big and big again?"
"Easy. You want to know how you can repay me for everything I gave you, Merlin? You stay by my side forever. Then all that I give you doesn't need to be counted anymore."
"Crazy. You want me to stay until when, hm? Until I'm numb to that?"
"Dead of taste? Mean you?"
Merlin looked so nervous at the question that his words were unintentionally spoken by himself. With great difficulty, he thought of a way out to free himself from the words he made.
"E .. forget it. As the day gets longer, I'll get ready now. I'll come with you to the hotel you want to go to."
Dicky let Merlin leave him. Although he was still curious about the intent of the words Merlin had spoken just now, he did not want to hold back and force Merlin to remain in place. Because by chance, what Merlin said was very true. The day was getting late, if he did not leave immediately, then the great spectacle would be missed.
Almost fifteen minutes passed, Merlin had just descended from the top floor in a slightly still limping street style. Seeing the arrival of Merlin who tried to walk quickly by dragging his feet, Dicky felt guilty. He immediately moved from the place where he had stood before.
"Eh, where are you going?" merlin asked as he saw Dicky walking up the stairs getting closer to him.
"Don't ask too many questions. Just look at."
"Well but .. said we're in a hurry. You .... "
The speech was suddenly restrained when Dicky was already beside him. Then, Dicky quickly takes Merlin into a hug for her to carry.
"Don't say much. We're in a hurry now. If I don't help you get to the car by cradling, then we're gonna miss the big show."
Not wanting to continue arguing with Dicky, Merlin chose silence. He didn't answer Dicky's words anymore. Because by chance, what Dicky said just now is true. After all, the curiosity about the word big show that Dicky said many times made Merlin's heart want to get to where they want to go.
Luckily, the road they passed did not get stuck in traffic so it did not take long to get to the hotel. When the driver opened the car door for Merlin, Dicky was already next to the driver.
"Here I help" said Dicky, leaning over to see Merlin trying to raise his leg.
"Eh, there's no need. Don't do anything no-no here. I don't want to be the center of attention of strangers because of your gentle demeanor."
"Mm. .. I wouldn't be insolent. Just chill. I will not do anything that goes beyond the limit. I'm not gonna make your white face turn red anyway, Lin."
"Dicky enough. Don't start again okay."
"Yes-yes. Come on!" Dicky immediately extended his hand to hold Merlin.
Not wanting to argue, he immediately accepted the helping hand. Because coincidentally, he did need that hand to walk normally without any pain.
They walked in with ordinary faces. But, Merlin suddenly rounded his eyes when he saw a man who was no stranger to him. That man is none other than his father.
Merlin continued to notice Bondan looking very panicked. That unusual facial sharpness made Merlin feel curious.
"What's up, Lin?" ask Dicky who already knows what Merlin noticed. But he pretended to ask.
"Eh, ti-no. It was like seeing someone just now. But .. ah, forget it. It doesn't matter."
"Oh yeah, where are we going now?"
"We will .... "
Dicky's speech was held back when they heard a hysterical scream coming from their front. In one of the rooms there are also many people who are crowded.
"Dic ... What happened at this hotel? Why are there so many people there?"
"Don't know. Let's just look to make sure!"
"Ta-but .... "
"It has. Just follow. You're curious aren't you? So, let's see!"
Merlin accepted the invitation. She kept holding on to Dicky's arm to help him walk forward. Merlin's eyes rounded in shock when he saw the hysterical Mita rolling over on the front floor of the room.
"No! My son can't do that dirty thing. It can't be!"
"What's impossible, huh! You don't see the reality of what your son did just now, Mita! Your child slept with a man before marriage. Lord .. what sin did I commit to receive such shame. Your son who I thought was a good girl turned out to be a cheap girl." Bondan spoke without thinking. He also did not feel ashamed saying those words in front of the people.
Meanwhile, in the room, Jenny was curled up in the corner of the room with a body wrapped in a thick blanket. As for Yoga, he sat on the floor with a bruised face.
