Loved Brondong Online
17. Arjuna Died?
"Mr? Even dumb," said Kiki smiling.
"Huh?" Lili snapped from her daydream.
"Geez, it was really dumb," said Kiki. Kiki also held both sides of Lili's shoulders from the front, turning Lili's body until her gaze pointed to the end of the boundary of the sea and sky. "Where do you like this place?" kiki.
"Yeah. Like. Thanks for coming here" said Lili.
"Yes, equally," said Kiki who released her hand from Lili's shoulder.
Kiki took her phone out of her pocket. "As I promised, I will read you a poem, Ma'am" he said.
Lili smiled clumsily. He feels strange about Kiki's behavior.
"Well, here it is. I took it from Google, nothing? Dengerin huh?" kiki. Lili nodded too.
"I want to love you simply
with a word that cannot be spoken
wood to the fire that makes it ash"
"I want to love you simply
with a signal that was not delivered
clouds to the rain that make it go away"

Kiki then held the back of Lili's right hand which was holding a stick flanked on her armpit. Lili's view was wide open.
"There's something I want to say. Weyli Hanggraini, actually I like you, love you," Kiki continued with a deep gaze.
Suddenly Lili's mind was filled with twisted film footage in her head. All about being with Kiki.
Starting from their annoying meeting, Kiki's heroic actions protect Lili from bad bosses, their introduction on the train, to their togetherness after the return of Lili from Mount Agungra. Kiki has helped Lili a lot as long as her legs have not healed.
Kiki's face instantly turned into Arjuna's. Lily blinked quickly. Of course the vision just now was just an illusion.
Yes, actually the one who has stolen Lili's heart is Arjuna. Although Lili initially thought Kiki was Arjuna because their voices were similar, but somehow during the escape in the forest with Arjuna made Lili feel her feelings were so strong.
Lili felt Arjuna was someone she had known before. Like the person he had known for a long time, who Lili no longer knew more precisely who it was.
When Arjuna's shadow disappears from Kiki's face, Lili immediately releases Kiki's hand.
Kiki's smile faded. Seeing that, Lili immediately apologized.
"Sorry, Ki. All this is too. too. " said Lili stammered.
"Too what?" ask Kiki.
"I mean, I'm not ready for all this" continued Lili.
"Have I made a mistake?" ask Kiki lirih.
"Have you ever told me about my worst past about the ocean?" lili.
"the sea? The worst past? So I've opened up some kind of old wound for bringing you here?" ask Kiki.
Lili also told about the deadly incident that had claimed the life of her boyfriend in the past. Lili said since then she has never been in a relationship with anyone again.
Kiki greeted Lili's head towards her shoulder. He rubbed it gently and apologized. Kiki did not want Lili to cry. He felt that these tears were shed because of him.
"You don't think about anything sad anymore, Ma'am. You can think of me as anything. Whether it's a sister, a friend, whatever it is while it makes you comfortable. I'm not going to force you to be my girlfriend" Kiki said.
They both looked at the sea. Lili's head was still leaning on Kiki's shoulder with her hand stroking Lili's head gently.
"I will always be there for you. I will always accompany you in your joys and sorrows. I promise. Even though we only have the status of friends," continued Kiki.

Time also changed. Lili returns to her apartment escorted by Kiki.
Kiki came into the apartment. While Lili went into the room for a while, Kiki turned on the TV and presented the snack they had bought earlier.
Kiki then sat on the sofa in front of the TV, pressing the remote while eating the sweet martabak that he had presented at the table.
Kiki does sometimes like to relax in Lili's apartment for a while before she returns home. This time Kiki was starving so he ate a new snack afterwards intending to go home.
Lili who had changed clothes joined in front of the TV.
"The body is estimated to have been found one week on the banks of the Calonarang River with conditions that are difficult to recognize. Fortunately, an identification tag was found along with a torn cloth that was allegedly part of the victim's clothes. It appears from the identification of the identity of a man named Arjuna..."
The news aired on the TV made Lili go wide. His steps accelerated to both sit on the sofa. His steps almost fell.
"What's up, Ma'am?" ask Kiki who is worried about Lili.
"Catch it, quick, take it down. The hotline is empty eight one three... Go, Ki! Help make a quick note!" lili.
Kiki complied with what Lili asked. Lili told Kiki about Arjuna. He is a stranger who gets Lili involved in the pursuit of kidnapping and occult phenomena on Mount Agungra.
Kiki tried to calm Lili down. He brought water to Lili, although Lili refused, but eventually drank it too. Lili became a little calmer.
Lili then asks Kiki to contact Celine and the phone turns into Lili's hand.
...
"Yes, seriously. I'm watching Kiki." Lili had a conversation with Celine.
Lili asks that she and Celine go to the autopsy center at the police hospital to see if it is Arjuna's body or not.
Unfortunately, Celine refused. But Celine promised to tell Lili when her job was idle. Celine would have both Lili come to that place but she said no for now.
Lily was curious. His intentions are not receded by the words of Celine who tried to prevent him from coming to the hospital.
After making the phone call, Lili's eyes went straight to Kiki.
"What, Ma'am? What's with me?" kiki asked as she was surprised by Lili's gaze.
"My company's there!" lili said as she pulled Kiki's hand and stepped quietly with a cane.
"But..." Although Kiki tries to find excuses, she still cannot refuse Lili's request.
Finally, Lili and Kiki left together. This time they actually went to the hospital to make sure the body was Arjuna or not.

Some time later, Lili and Kiki arrived at the police hospital. When getting off the car calls online, Lili leads Kiki on the walk. Although, Lili still needs Kiki's help, but she is now one step ahead of Kiki. Lili was so enthusiastic.
