Missing You: David

75. New fact

Zea was doubtful whether her decision was right. He felt guilty about Emily. He fails to be a good, understanding friend, even to his own best friend.

Harry was shocked to hear the words spoken from Zea's lips.

“Why? What am I wrong?” ask Harry.

Zea shook her head and replied that Harry was not wrong.

Harry stared fixedly at Zea and said, “Let's find a way out together, I beg you,” ask Harry not to leave him. But, today's incident was enough to surprise Zea. Her best friend gets a lot of pressure, but she herself is busy being happy with the man her best friend loves.

“Zea, please don't back down. We find a solution together, I'm sure Lily will be fine even if it's without me.”

Zea nods and the two return to Harry's house to pick up Zea's belongings and go home.

The next day, Zea left for work and did her usual activities. He was used to being a host. So that there is no more awkwardness and fear like before

“Zea, how are you,” greet Tasya when they meet in the make up room.

“Hai, I'm fine. Yesterday we just met, Tasya,” Zea said bluntly.

Tasya smiled and some of the people who had been there left the two of them in the makeup room.

Tasya is closing in on Zea, “Ze, there's something I want to talk about.”

“What?” ask Zea curiously.

Tasya approached and showed a photo on her phone.

“What is this?” ask Zea who doesn't know anything.

“She's Emily's mother, so all this time Emily is the daughter of the Finance minister and director of our company.”

Zea's eyes were wide open listening to Tasya's explanation.

“Bad news, many say your removal and Emily's appointment in the current position due to the influence of her mother.”

Zea was silent, she indeed thought it was possible. But, who Emily's mother is and her true identity she doesn't know at all.

“Then, Ze you should know this. Emily became friendless, everyone in the office stared at her with a condescending look.”

Zea was surprised to hear Tasya's words. She became worried and wanted to see Emily right then and there. But, he was suddenly called Robert because the event was about to start.

“Ze, we start soon yes,” said Robert.

Zea could only agree and hurried off to the studio.

"I'll see you at lunchtime, wait for me to come home" Zea told Tasya.

Zea begins to appear confident, only that her mind is on Emily. He felt that he should get to Emily as soon as possible.

At lunchtime, Tasya went out to eat with his co-workers. So that the two of them can't tell you about the problem anymore. So, Zea searches Emily's office and finds Emily left at 10 and hasn't returned to the office yet.

“I'm downstairs, let's have lunch together,” Harry wrote in a message sent to Zea.

Zea agreed and rushed down, she also wanted to share the story with Harry.

Harry waited in the park near Zea's office, in a chair under a tree with a lunch he had prepared.

“Zeze,” call Harry when he sees Zea walking and standing sculpting while looking to the right and to the left.

"Have you waited long?" ask Zea.

"No, just now."

"Here sit," Harry asked as he pointed to the chair beside him.

Zea just nodded and said, “There's something I want to say.”

“Bby, after we eat yes.”

“Good.”

The two agreed to eat first and talk afterwards. After he finished eating, Harry gave the fruit to Zea as dessert.

“Eat this, sweet” said Harry as well as stick the honey pineapple fruit in the fruit skewer he gave to Zea.

“What's up?” ask Harry.

“Tasya said, his office friend excommunicated Lily, and the bad news they blasphemed Lily's rise as a newscaster is now the result of his mother's help.”

Solve one problem, Zea's mistrust problem. Now they must be faced with feelings of sadness and pity when his friend is placed in a bad position. Harry and Zea knew very well that Emily was bullied often for her lack of confidence. Zea knew full well that Emily felt that there was something Emily could not deal with on her own, which was the chaotic feeling of being bullied. Emily's mentality is weak, she used to be not confident because of the body shape that she thinks is less perfect, she is tomboyish, she is, until the increasingly strong self-confidence attached to him because of the high negotiations that he received first.

"Would you meet Emily together?" take Harry.

Zea nodded in agreement, the two of them will leave when they get home from work. Zea doesn't know where Emily's house is. Only, Harry knew because they knew him first. In fact, Harry was not surprised by the fact that Emily was the son of a rich man and an important person. What worries Harry is the fact that Emily is getting bullied again.

After work, Zea waits for Harry by the side of the road. After leaving work, Harry rushed to Zea.

"Come in" Harry asked when he was near Harry.

"We go to him at his house, yes" asked Harry.

"Did he live in an apartment near you?."

"I rarely see Zea, almost never."

The words from Harry made Zea more convinced, if Emily get a lot of pressure if living with her mother. Because, as far as Zea knew before. Emily never wanted to live with her mother, even getting out of the house was the choice she wanted to make. Far from the mother he thought was home, but it wasn't.

**

Arriving in front of Emily's home complex. Harry tried to speak to the security guard, asking permission to be allowed to go home.

Only, he was not allowed even though he had a long conversation for more than 20 minutes.

"How's it?" zea asked as he waited for Harry to get back in the car.

"Said Lily's mother, no one is allowed in. But, the security guard said Lily was out in the morning and not back yet."

"Where is he?" think Zea.

"You want to find where he used to play?" take Harry.

"By," answered Zea.

The two went straight to the park where Zea and Emily used to exercise, sit down and have lunch. Restaurants and some places. But, nil. Until 20:00, the two could not find Emily's whereabouts and decided to go home.

In front of Zea's house, Harry saw a car parked there. A woman was also standing at the door of the house.

“That's not it, Lily,” said Harry.

Zea who was releasing the seat belt turned to the house and right, there was Emily there. Without warning, Zea went straight down and ran towards Emily.

“Lily, are you okay?” ask Zea.

Emily, who was sitting at the door, stood and looked at Zea with sad eyes. Harry also caught up and stood behind looking at the interaction of the two.

“I'm sorry,” Emily said.

Zea shook her head and immediately hugged Emily. The cries of both broke and were unstoppable.

After crying, Zea invited Emily in. Harry, who understands the situation, chose to say goodbye so that the two have time to talk.

"Zea, I'm sorry" Emily said.

Zea, who was in the kitchen, brought Emily warm milk tea.

"You don't have to apologize, I've forgiven you."

"How are you doing?" ask Emily.

"As usual, you're on your own? I came to your house but you're not there."

"I was out of work, but I didn't come home."

Zea was silent and did not reply, she looked at the story-telling Emily looking down at the tea cup in her hand.

"Do you want to stay here with me, Lily?" tanya Zea offers.

Emily smiled and shook her head, "Tomorrow I should go home, and go for a long time. So, I can't keep up with your request."
