28 — Talk About Problems

People who behave badly are not necessarily called bad people. And someone who does good is not necessarily trusted by many people. Petra glanced at Vernon because the man always brought his wife's name into the discussion of Figo's problems.

In fact, right now, what should be wary of is their identity. Figo will not remain silent. He's gonna get help. And everyone who can help Figo must be from someone who is strong and has power.

Although Petra does not feel threatened at least she must be vigilant considering her former friend once betrayed Black Center.

"It's lucky you have such a beautiful wife. That woman must be blind to forgive you." - Petra.

"Say you're envious. Maybe the effect is old but not married. So I understood what you said just now." Vernon chuckled softly not provoked by Petra's words. Usually they will debate small issues. But it seems that Vernon would rather budge if Petra brought the name Kezia into the debate.

"Don't forget, we're the same age. I'm not jealous of you anyway. I've found my own woman" Petra said in a tweet.

Vernon chokes on Bi Tini's coffee. His eyes glared at Petra who was putting on an innocent face without sin. "You?"

"Why? Is that how bad I am in your eyes, huh? I'm more handsome than you. Especially the problem of fighting. Cih, shoot the enemy just miss. How can I take care of people's children?" Petra grinned seeing Vernon disapproving of his words.

Vernon just shook his head, he couldn't possibly make Petra battered considering Kezia was on top of sleeping with her son. "It's very confident." said Vernon.

When Petra wanted to return Vernon's praise, she couldn't continue because someone was watching them. Vernon saw Petra was observing someone behind her intensely. Finally, Vernon, slightly turned around to look at the man.

"Kezia?" Vernon murmured.

While Kezia only pegged on the spot after being caught eavesdropping on the conversation of the two of them. Then step down the stairs and approach to join Vernon and Petra.

"Why not sleep?" asked Vernon after Kezia sat beside him.

Kezia did not answer and looked at Petra sharply. This was the first time Kezia had met directly with the Chairman of the Black Center. At the time of the incident at his home, Petra was very closed almost unrecognizable.

Petra understood the laughter because Vernon was ignored by his own wife, "Petra Poliston." Petra reached out her hand to get acquainted with Kezia.

Not yet had Kezia returned Petra's hand, Vernon brushed Petra's hand away quickly. "Not to get to know him. He's not an important person" Vernon said.

Kezia just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Kez, why haven't you slept?" ask Vernon again.

Kezia looked at her husband, "I don't want to sleep yet. I want to hear what you guys are talking about." Kezia replied casually. "Why? Am I bothering you?"

Vernon looked at Kezia's eyes a few seconds later sighed softly, "No. But you better not hear our discussion." Vernon again sees Petra who is happy because of Kezia's interaction with Vernon.

Petra must have thought that Vernon belonged to a group of husbands - husbands afraid of wives. Who once wasted his own wife. Pfft...

"Then just continue."

Vernon gave Petra a code to end today's talks. Understanding the situation, Petra nodded faintly and stood up from her place.

Vernon looks relieved when Petra comes out of his house. The man's slippery mouth could have exposed it all to his wife.

"Let's go up." Vernon holds Kezia's hand but is rejected by his wife. "Kez.it's already night."

Kezia put on a sullen face and was annoyed that Vernon forbade him from knowing about the man's problems. And worse, the Chairman of the Black Center came to the house to talk to Vernon. Although it seemed ordinary, but to Kezia it was unusual.

Petra is the owner of the Black Center and its leader. Therefore, Petra must be a dangerous person and often kill people.

"Tell me first what are you talking about? Does this have anything to do with the shooting?"

"No. There's no."

"Then what?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow. Now we're sleeping. It's night, you can get sick. It's so cold outside."

"If you lie I'll hit you."

"You want to hit me now?I don't mind." Vernon gave a small smile seeing Kezia getting funnier as it held back the upset.

Kezia clucked, then hit Vernon's chest many times without an aba. Vernon just silently enjoyed Kezia's punch. Vernon was happy because Kezia was not afraid when he came into contact with her.

Kezia stopped his hand and dropped his head on the chest of Vernon's field covered in army green plain t-shirts. Vernon's body is very hard, instead of hurting Vernon, Kezia hurts himself.

"Have you?" Kezia nodded slowly and let Vernon stroke her hair. Kezia who was not going to sleep became sleepy because of Vernon.

"I'm sleepy."

Vernon chuckled softly then placed his chin on the top of Kezia's head. Keep moving her hands to stroke Kezia's hair. The woman in Vernon's arms secured her position and began to fall asleep.

Vernon stared at Kezia's room right in front of him. The shadows about his treatment used to make Vernon crowded. Moreover, his wife was now in his arms. I don't know why something was lost is back. Vernon's head was dizzy. But he quickly controlled it.

"Kezia?" Kezia did not respond to Vernon. The woman entered the dream world.

Vernon carried Kezia with his heart. And took him to sleep in the room. Time passes so fast. The woman has returned. Paving the way to correct Vernon's behavior due to his bad temper.

Bi Tini just came to clean the kitchen. His eyes saw Vernon climbing the stairs and carrying Kezia. A smile rose considering that the two people in front of Bi Tini seemed to get along and Vernon no longer did evil to Kezia.

May they always maintain a bond with each other. Let the past fade and rebuild trust. Until they fulfill the promise of living as ever spoken in each other's minds.

"Yes I hope."
