Episode 39's
Today is saturday. Mamah Ambar asked me and Axel to go home. Because Axel did not enter the office he agreed.
In the car Axel and I just kept quiet. I'm busy with both my phone and Axel focusing on driving.
"Emm Flo.." Axel's voice made me turn towards him but he still remained focused forward.
"What's up?' my answer.
"Later in front of mamah we have to act like husband and wife" he said.
"Like a husband and wife? Isn't it me and he's a husband and wife, huh?" whispered in my heart.
Ehh I forgot. He just thinks I'm an ordinary friend, right?
I'm staring. Maybe he noticed my look.
"What's wrong?" ask by focusing forward.
"It's okay. All right." I said at the end.
I'm back to focusing on my smartphone. Until my phone rings the sign of an incoming call.
KEVIN'S.
what's he calling me.
I swiped the green button on my phone screen and pointed it at my ear.
"Hello"
"Hi Flo again where''
"Again on the road"
"Where are you going?"
"Where am I going to do anything with you?"
"Jeez Flo how much you say that."
"Have stopped that drama of yours. What's up?"
"Hmm ok. It seems like I failed to become a Drakor player huh."
I chuckled at her words.
From the corner of my eye I saw Axel watching me. Let only.
"You are not worthy!"
"Huh! If I argue with you I'll lose."
Back I chuckle at her grunt.
"What the hell is it?"
"Mm no. I just missed you"
"Jeez Kevin. Just a few days ago we met and now you miss me?"
"Indeed. But I don't know. I just want to see that pretty face of yours every day."
"Ishh, you're all there. Alright-good. Looks like we can meet every day so you don't get tormented by your longing" I said jokingly but sounded serious.
Ckkiittttt
Axel suddenly stepped on the brakes. Until I was surprised. I looked at him sharply.
"There's a cat" he said flatly.
I saw nothing down there.
What's wrong with him.
Bizarrely.
I'm back to focusing on my phone.
"What's wrong?"
"There's nothing."
"Ohh. Mm Flo tomorrow if it's not busy tomorrow accompany me."
"Where's company?"
"Get me to Fairy Hotel."
"To hotel? Just the two of us?"
Ckiiiitttt
Again Axel stepped on the brakes suddenly. I looked at him sharply while he was just acting normal.
Has he gone mad.
"Cats". He said casually.
Cats again?
"Yes. Won't you?"
"Oh of course Vin. I'll keep you company."
"Jeez honey thank you."
"Honey? Since when do you call me Honey?"
"Ssttts. There's my ex here."
His whisper. I chuckle.
"Honey is up to you."
Ckiiiittttt
For the third time Axel stepped on the brakes suddenly. I growled at him.
"You're nothing!" ketusku. This can't be a cat crossing anymore. It's been three times.
"Dinosaurs crossed." he said flatly. I'm flicking my lips. Where there are dinosaurs today.
"What's Flo?"
" it's nothing. There's only nosy people here."
I said with annoyance.
Tiiiinnnnnn
Axel pressed the horn firmly. To make my ears hurt.
"Ishhh hippo just carelessly crossed." muttered Axel who I can still hear.
I'm sure he's crazy. Where there's a hippo in the middle of the city and across the highway.
Axel's crazy!
"What the hell is Flo?"
"none. There's only crazy people. Mm well tomorrow I'll call. I hope I'm not busy."
"OKs. You're a beautiful dancer."
"What do you want to do in a hotel?"
This time it was not the sudden brake or the horn that sounded but the sound of very loud music deafening the ears.
I turned off the music.
And I want to continue my conversation with Kevin. But Axel put the music back on. Turned it off. He brought her back to life. So it went on that I couldn't talk to Kevin and couldn't hear his voice clearly.
"Kevin, you're picking me up tomorrow at the apartment!" peekkiku in the car. I don't care Axel's gonna be mad. I'm the one who's the more upset she's bothering me to talk to Kevin.
Ckiittttt
He stepped on the brakes suddenly. This time my patience is over. I'll scold him.
"It's here!" resounding. Then he got out of the car. I clenched my mouth and looked around. Right this is in front of the house.
"Alright Flo. Thanks."
"Yes." Yeah."
I ended the call. And get out of the car to the house.

With an annoyed face Axel entered the house. Ignoring Him sitting on the sofa. Ambar came from the kitchen.
"Axel you've come, baby? Where's Flo?" ambar said enthusiastically.
Axel did not answer he just kissed his mamah cheek and went to his room on the second floor.
"He why Ann?" ask Ambar to Anya.
"Ga tau tan's. He is not rich in love with Flo" said Annya and laughed with Ambar.
"Mommy." said Flo who just came in.
"Jeez Flo mamah misses you dear." Ambar hugged Flo fondly.
"Flo's also kangen mamah." Flo replied. Ambar broke their embrace.
"Hi Flo." said Anya who was standing next to Flo. Flo smiled. And hugged Anya.
"Hi ann." she replied, they ended their arms and walked to the dinner table.
"Today I cooked a lot. Especially for you" said Ambar as he walked towards the dining table.
"Wahh, this must be delicious, Flo got hungry" Flo said as she rubbed her stomach.
"Yes let's eat." take Ambar. They sit in chairs.
"Bi Mar please call Axel." tell Ambar to Bi Mar who is washing dishes.
"Good Madam" said Bi Mar and he passed towards Axel's room on the second floor.
"Flo, Axel why? How does her face look so upset?" ask Anya who is sitting in front of Flo.
"Don't. I don't know." Briefly Flo. He put his shoulder out.
Axel arrived at the dining table still with his unfortunate face. He sat down next to Flo. When Flo wants to spoon the rice into Axel's plate he prevents it.
"I can do it myself." he said. Flo took off the spoon and went back to eating her food.
"Why are you Xel?" asked Ambar who was confused by Axel's attitude.
"Ga papa mah." replied Axel.
"He ain't in love Jatah kali tan." Anya said with a teasing smile.
Hearing Anya's ambiguous speech in Flo's ear made her choke along with Axel who stopped his activities and stared intently at Anya.
Uhukks
Uhukks
Uhukks
"Jeez Flo be careful, baby. Slowly eat it." said Ambar who rubbed Flo's back gently and thrust out drinking water.
"What did I say wrong?" asked Anya because she felt in sharp eyes by Axel.
"Ngga Ann's. I'm going to eat again" said Flo when he was calm.
They continued to eat in henig.
_
Mom and I sat in the back garden. Just the two of us. Anya was in her room because her leg was injured in a chair clamp. And Axel. After eating, he went straight into his room. I don't know what happened to him.
Maybe Nadya didn't tell me.
"What is your relationship with Axel?" ask Mamah Ambar. The question confused me what to answer.
"Yes that's how it is." I answered briefly.
"Pardon Axel's cold attitude like that dear" said Mamah sadly.
"Ga papa mah. Flo can deal with it." I tried to cheer up Mamah Ambar so as not to be sad anymore. I can't bear to see it.
"Actually that's not Axel's real attitude. He changed 92 percent of his original attitude. Everything changed seven years ago. It's getting colder as it is now. Mama was sad to see him like this Flo. Mamah knew she was hit hard by Papah and Arsya's departure. He's very broken. Including mama."
Jesus,Mama. Don't be sad anymore, dong.
I rubbed Mom's arm gently. As if giving strength.
I let mommy cry. Letting him spill all his sadness that he has been so long.
"Until now Mamah has not been able to accept that Mama's husband is no longer there."
"Why are you talking rich?" soft ask.
"Color has not been found to date."
Whahuh?
His body has not been found?
"Mamah has asked the police to look for him. But they say that Mama's husband is no more. With evidence of his watch, his shoes and rips were found in the ravine. The police claim that Papah ate a beast."
Whahuh?
How could that have happened. Robert could not walk at the time.
I was confused by Mamah Ambar's words.
"Police only found Arsya's body near the car. At that moment, Mama was completely destroyed. They thought they would not be saved again. But thank God for sending you to save Axel. Thanks to Flo."
Mamah Ambar hugged me with a constant cry. I returned his embrace.
"No need to say thank you, Mah. Think of it as a return to your kindness 15 years ago" I told Mamah Ambar.
"Then did the police investigate the case?" my many. I wanted to scrape a little information about the incident after I left.
"Police said the accident was on purpose. Someone intentionally wanted to harm them."
Greaty!
Like I thought.
"Then?" my many.
"The police are looking for evidence. To date, they have not received any evidence. The culprit's too slippery."
"Do you suspect someone?" ask again. Who knows if there's a loophole to find out who's behind this.
"Yes. My mother suspects someone. But now he's gone missing like he's swallowed up the earth. No one knows where he's going."
"Who is she mah?" my many. Mamah Ambar looked straight ahead. But with an injured look.
"Mamah suspects Prayogo. Mamah believes he's the mastermind behind this."
Prayogos?
Who her?
"Is mama sure? Then why didn't Mamah report it to the police?" if Mamah Ambar is suspicious of her. Why not report it to the police. Let the police look for evidence.
"Your sure. Because only she holds a grudge against Mamah's husband.Mamah is afraid of Flo. Mamah fear. If Mamah reports she could hurt Axel. Moreover, the letter of terror sent to mamah. That's what makes you even more afraid. Prayogo is the one who's reckless."
Terror letter?
What did Mamah Ambar mean by that letter in that apartment?
Is that really terror?
"You're afraid of losing Axel Flo. I lost Papah and Arsya. Mamah didn't want to lose Axel." mamah cried sobbing in my arms. I can't bear to see it.
"You just calm down. I'm not gonna let anyone hurt Axel. I'll protect her." I managed to make Mamah Ambar a little calmer.
"Thank you dear" said Mom at the end.
I got a little slit for all this. I'll find out who Prayogo is. I'm sure he's the mastermind. He has a grudge against Robert. That must be the reason.
I'll find out the truth. As soon as possible.

No one knew since then that anyone had noticed Flo and Ambar.
Axel who noticed the two of them from the second floor balcony but did not hear what they were discussing.
"What mommy loves Flo so much. What if Mom finds out I'm going to divorce Flo? Is Mom gonna hate me?" ask Axel in your heart. She did not expect her mother to be so close to Flo that she cried like that in Flo's arms.
Ambar was never like that on Axel though. Just on the Papah alone and on Flo Ambar behave like that.
_
By the pool Flo is sitting with Anya. They were sitting in the Gazebo over there.
"Tante Ambar where's Flo?" ask Anya.
"Mamah out. He said he wanted to see her." Flo replied. Anya just nodded her head.
"Mmm Ann's. Can I ask you something?" flo asked as he looked at Anya who was focused on her Handphone.
"Can. Just ask." replied Anya who is still loyal to her phone.
"What do you have to do with Dave?" flo's question made Anya stop her activities and stare at Flo.
"What's wrong? Why are you asking like that?" ask Anya back.
Flo's nervous. He cursed himself. He shouldn't have asked Anya like that. Maybe he'd better just ask Dave. That's better.
"Ohh. No, I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell a story, that's okay" say it as often as possible. But his heart was already beating. Afraid she'd misspoke and Anya's mad at her.
Anya took a slow breath. And looking straight ahead.
"What is Flo the guy I can trust?" ask Anya in my heart. A second later Anya smiled at Flo.
"I trust you Flo" Anya said, fixing her seat facing Flo.
Flo smiled. He feels calm now.
"Me and Dave used to be dating. I love him so much, so much he. He never got mad at me even though I was wrong. He always apologizes first. Until three years ago I just left him. I hate him. He ignored me. He hides me for no reason. We met but he did not greet me. It hurt me. I asked him to meet me at the park but he didn't come. All I saw was he was walking with a girl. I ended our relationship immediately. And I went to Korea. I hope he finds me and apologizes. But it's not." Flo was pensive to hear Anya's story. Anya was crying but made no sound.
"Are you asking what happened to her?" ask Flo. Anya shook her head.
"For what? Obviously he was with another girl. It was clear enough for me." Anya replied then she rubbed her tears violently.
Flo sighed lightly and then he smiled.
"What if the girl you saw was her cousin or her brother?" ask Flo. Anya looked at Flo in confusion. Why can he say that.
"You know Ann. Dave is a good guy. I call him a forced man. Because he always forced me. He was very protective of me and Nela. He'll be upset if we don't have breakfast. He values women and relationships. He'll pout if we finish his favorite milk shake." Flo told me with a small smile. Aya who heard that laughed a little.
"He hasn't changed." muttered Anya who was still heard clearly by Flo.
"He hasn't changed. And it will never change. Until anytime. The proof is that he's still faithfully waiting for you." said Flo then he looked at Anya who seemed confused by Flo's words.
"You mean?" ask Anya.
"He still loves you to this day. Although he didn't tell me but I knew from the look in his eyes when we met at the cafe. He's still expecting you. The proof is that he's staying away from all the women and just wants to be close to me and Nela" Flo said.
"If it is true. Why didn't he look for me when I went to Korea. Why didn't he prevent me." Anya said a little annoyed.
Flo smiled a little.
"Do you say goodbye to him?" ask Flo. Anya shook her head.
"You broke off the relationship unilaterally without hearing the explanation right?". Anya nodded her head. His eyes showed regret. What Flo said was right.
"You cut off all communication tools with him, right?" again Anya nodded her head.
"How did he find you? You just left. And let him be ruined until now. I know you still love each other." . Anya looked at the words of Flo. He realized he was wrong to leave Dave without asking what happened.
"Then what should I do?" ask Anya with a sad face.
"Meet Dave. Talk to her. Ask what happened at that time. Give him time to explain. Don't let you regret Ann" Flo said. Suddenly Anya hugged him. Flo was startled and almost slumped backwards.
"Thank You Flo. Thanks for your advice. I'll try." Anya said. Flo returned Anya's embrace and smiled faintly.
"Together." reply Flo.
"Non. Excuse me for the drink." Bi Mar's voice made them decipher her embrace.
Bi Mar put two glasses of orange juice on the table.
"Thank you Bi." said Flo.
"Together Non." replied Bi Mar. "Non Anya it miko come" said Bi Mar when he wanted to turn his body to return to the House.
Flo confusion. Who's Miko?
Is her lover Anya?
"Heii miko dear." said Anya enthusiastically. Flo jumped from her seat when she saw Miko approaching them.
Miko is meant by a cat. Flo doesn't like cats.
"Why Flo?" ask Anya confused.
"I don't like cats. Amused!" he said shudderingly looking at the cat in Anya's arms.
Anya chuckles.
"I didn't know you didn't like cats" Anya said as she rubbed the cat's head." It's a gift from Dave." Anya said.
Flo kept retreating backwards.
Suddenly the cat jumped towards Flo. Flo was shocked and shouted until he was unconscious if he had reached the edge of the pool. And......
"Well...!''
"Non Flo!"
Anya and Bi Mar shouted at the same time.
Byiiuurrrrr
Flo fell into the pool. Anya confusion. Don't know what to do. Flo screams for help because he can't swim.
"Fw! Oh, my God, what should I do." Anya's confused. He couldn't help Flo because her leg was still sore and in a bandage.
Bi Mar was panicking as well. He didn't know what to do because he couldn't swim.
"Bi call Axel bi!" an increasingly confused Anya's cry saw Flo waving her hands up.
Without a second thought Bi Mar ran into the house to Axel's room. He knocked on Axel's door.
Tok.dok..
Tok.dok..
Tok.dok..
Bi Mar kept tapping Axel's room nonstop. Until Axel came out with a very upset face.
"What the hell is Bi!" axel said with annoyance because Bi Mar disturbed his sleep.
"That.it.non..Flo den's. Non Flo." said Bi Mar nervously and frantically into one.
"Why with him" he said flatly. It seems Axel is still upset.
"Non Flo in the pool swim Den" said Bi Mar.
"Ck, kirain what. Let it go." Axel said, then he wanted to go into his room again.
"But den..."
"Just let Bi." Axel replied quickly and wanted to close the door.
"Non Flora is drowning!" peekik Bi Mar along with scream Anya from outside.
"AXIS!!"
"What?" axel said he was surprised.
"Why not say from earlier bi?!" axel said in a panic. He dashed quickly down the stairs towards the side door that led to the swimming pool.
"What about aden. From earlier he said just let it go. "bi Mar grumbled confused.
Axel ran quickly towards the swimming pool. And found Anya who was panicking calling the names Flo and Axel.
Axel looked at Flo who had drowned at the bottom of the pool. His face was panicking.
"Flora!!!" his screeches. Then Axel jumped into the pool. He swam quickly and reached for Flo's hand. Take him to the pool.
Help Bi Mar and Anya. Flo's lying by the pool. He's already passed out.
"What's going on. Why is it like this?" axel asked in a panic.
"Flo..Flora.wake Flo.." Axel twitched Flo's cheeks. But Flo still didn't move.
"How is this?" ask Axel. A little obvious to the worry on his face.
"Make Xel's breath." Anya said. Axel stiffened hearing that.
"The cave?" point Axel at himself.
"Who else is he? Lu is her husband. It's not a cave or Bi Mar. Crazy times you!" said Anya who was upset with Axel's attitude.
Axel silently looked at Flo who was already pale.
"Aden come quickly. Later non Flo why-why." urged Bi Mar who was as panicked as Anya.
Axel's heart skipped a beat. Slowly he brought his face closer to Flo's. Getting closer and his lips were already above Flo's lips. He gave artificial breath. For the third time Flo coughed and pulled out the water he had swallowed.
Uhukks
Uhukkk
Uhukks
Axel, Anya and Bi Mar breathed a sigh of relief. Flo's fine.
Axel lifted Flo's body towards the Chamber and laid her on the bed. Flo fainted maybe she was exhausted and in shock.
"Ann change Flo's clothes." Axel said to Anya who was standing at the door.
"Lu is the one who changed. You are her husband." Anya said.
"Lunatic lu. The cave period changed his clothes." said Axel who was shocked by Anya's words.
"Why are you surprised? Don't-don't you.." Anya's words hung she squinted her eyes at Axel.
Axel's nervous. There's no way he'd say if he never touched and even slept separately with Flo. Axel's face flushed. He's looking for an excuse.
"Don't-don't what?" axel said as casually as possible."The cave was also drenched. If the cave changes its clothes. He might get wet too. If the cave first change clothes. He can catch a cold." Axel said at length.
"True too." muttered Anya." Yeah you changed your clothes already. Let the cave change Flo's clothes." Axel breathed a sigh of relief hearing Anya's words.
Axel was in front of the closet. Anya asks him to take Flo's underwear.
"Xel take her underwear Flo dong." Anya's request. Axel surprised.
"Lunatic you! Take it yourself!" ketus Axel then he entered the bathroom quickly.
Anya grunts.
"Suami-wife freak!" Annoyed annoyed.
Just to take Flo's underwear Axel did not want. Because he's embarrassed to touch it. Sleeping with Flo, he never did. Especially touching.
Touching Flo's underwear to her was the same as touching Flo's body.
Strange man!!
