Love is Noiseless
Chapter 35's
The wind blows Layla's face. The girl was sitting in a garden, facing the beautiful monument in the middle. The wind he felt could repel a moment of restlessness in the heart. Layla looked straight ahead with sadness. Inevitably he must be honest with Bayu, so that one burden on his shoulders can feel more relieved. Layla can only hope that Bayu can forgive her mistake.
An ice cream suddenly appeared in front of Layla's face. The girl immediately smiled, her favorite strawberry ice cream. Soon Layla took the ice cream and smiled at Bayu.
“Mas knows my favorite,” said Layla with great pleasure. The girl immediately enjoyed it.
Bayu sat down next to Layla. He looked at his lover's face with a glance. Want that second also he has Layla completely. But the girl was too chuckle with the stance. He would not give anything to Bayu before they were married.
“Now you can explain it, La?” ask Bayu in a slow tone.
Layla immediately stopped enjoying the ice cream. He looked again at Bayu, his feelings were worried again. “I think Mas better not know. Everything's fine, Mom. There is nothing to worry about,” said Layla who is still trying to keep it a secret, even though she knows it will not be useful.
“The more you dodge, the more I want to know what you're hiding, La.”
Layla breathed a long breath. He ventured to explain it.
“Mas must promise not to be angry with anyone. I also have to promise to keep it a secret. Mas also had to promise not to bring up his leverage again someday.”
“I promise, La,” said Bayu who can't wait to hear Layla's explanation, “Now tell me what really happened.”
“A-I,” said Layla closed her eyes, ”aku was forced into marriage by the owner of the company, Mas.”
Bayu was silent, he heard that with a face that did not believe at all. “You were forced to marry, La?”
“I have to save my sisters in the orphanage, Mas. For that I must marry.”
Bayu laughed, he grabbed Layla's chin until they looked at each other. “Your joke is hot change, La.”
“I'm serious, Mas. And I'm married,” Layla said as she showed me the ring on her left hand.
Bayu gulped, he shook his head. “You doubled, La?” tanya Bayu made sure.
“I'm serious, Mas. The place you drove me last night was my husband's home.”
“This is crazy, totally crazy. It's only been two weeks since we broke up, and you're married?”
Layla breathed a rough breath. “I love you so much, Mas. But for this I really had to.”
“You were forced to marry, and you only obey?” ask Bayu who still does not believe what Layla said.
“Mas take it easy, I can take good care of myself.”
“Quiet how?” tanya Bayu who looks restless with Layla's words, “you married another man and you told me to stay calm?”
“I can take good care of myself, Mas. Until this second she never touched me at all,” I'm Layla who hopes Bayu can trust her.
“But you live at home with him, La.”
“It's only temporary, Mas. He and I both did not want this marriage. We will part ways when his goal is reached.” Layla grabs Bayu's hand, “I beg you, Mas trust me, I never betray you, Mas. I do this also for my sisters in the parlour. If I hadn't married her, my sisters in the parlour would have lived on the streets.”
“You've been out of the parlor, why else take care of them? Especially until you sacrifice yourself like this.”
“Now you know how important the parlour is to my life? I can't just shut up if they need me.”
“Mas will never lose me. My life is for, Mom. I will take good care of myself for, Mas,” said Layla rubbed Bayu's shoulder, she resigned Bayu embrace him.
“I can only trust you, La. Don't let that man touch you. Quickly finish everything, then come back to me,” witty Bayu.
Layla nodded in Bayu's arms. "Thank you very much, Mommy. I'm willing to believe me" Layla said with relief.

Dinan enjoys his dinner at the dinner table alone. That was a normal thing for Dinan. Since he went to America, also since he came out of the house, Dinan was used to living everything alone. Does not rely on others to meet the basic needs of his life. Starting from cooking, cleaning the house, even washing clothes was done by Dinan himself when lazy to go to the laundry.
From childhood, Dinan was used to it. When the father went to take care of his business to various regions to abroad, Dinan at home was drained of energy to clean up all the work. My mom did that. Not infrequently Dinan was beaten all-out when refusing let alone fighting.
The man breathed a rough breath. Dinner was over, he drank a glass of water and cleaned his hands with a tissue. The man pulled the phone out of his pants pocket. Ever since Mr. Marc doused it with water, Dinan had not come to the house again. Now he misses Risa. The little girl who became the wallpaper of her cell phone.
Dinan heard the front door open. The man breathed a rough breath. He stood up to get some drinking water.
“Sorry, Sir. Today I am late to go home again,” Layla said when she stood in front of Dinan.
Dinan was still looking at his glass which was being filled with water. He did not look at Layla at all. “Eat, you must be hungry,” said Dinan.
Layla gulps. He saw the dining table. There's grilled meat with soy sauce fish in there. Confused, who is cooking.
“Father buy food outside?” ask Layla to make sure. Dinan had never scolded him except for when he knelt in front of Mr. Marc. Especially until the KDRT to him, made the girl much more courageous to face Dinan.
“I'm the cook,” said Dinan, he turned to Layla who was still watching the dining table. He looked at the girl flatly.
“Wah, Father is great, Father's cooking is fragrant, make me hungry,” Layla said innocently.
“From the beginning I never misjudged, all women are the same. No one can be trusted among them,” said Dinan who ignored Layla's praise.
Layla turned to Dinan. He was confused as to why Dinan spoke like that to him.
“Means, Father?”
“Take your plate and eat immediately.” Dinan walked towards the middle room.
Layla noticed Dinan with her heart pounding for some reason. Not yet Dinan left the dining room, he stopped and turned around, looking again at Layla who was still watching him. “The orphanage kids were moved earlier this afternoon.”
Layla nodded, the news that should make Layla happy was even hollow because of Dinan's words earlier.
“Are you not happy?” ask Dinan to make sure.
“Happy, Sir. I'm glad my sisters got a new and more decent place. I have heard from other colleagues. The land is now wider and far from the center of busy people,” said Layla lying, he did not know the news at all.
“You must be happy, but do not think to go first, you must be here, there are things you must do to face father.”
Hearing Dinan's words, Layla recalled something. “Pak, are you sure you're moving the orphanage children as soon as possible?” layla asked again, he still felt Mr. Marc's suggestion was the best.
Dinan just shook his head, he then left, leaving Layla alone there. The girl sat down onto the chair where Dinan was sitting earlier. I don't know why she feels so uncomfortable. What was Dinan's sentence to himself? Did Dinan think that he was like the women who hurt Dinan like the story of Miss Eva?
