The Debt Redeemer

73. childhood friends

"Can you tell me a little bit about Bachsmid?" Deka asked as she and Milla were in the car to where Bachsmid was. Meanwhile, Leo is in charge of being the driver who carries their car.

"Actually when it comes to uncle, I don't know very well. But, I know El better." Jaeab Milla with a straight forward view.

Deka scrunched her forehead while looking at Milla's face. Well, until now, Deka's gaze never separated from the woman.

"Els? who else is it?"

Actually Deka could tell all that info from Leo. But he thinks hearing directly from Milla would be better.

"He was my little friend and my only brother."

"Aren't you an only child?"

"I don't mean by blood, but I've taken it like my own brother. We used to play together when I was a kid."

Deka saw a happy face as Milla told him about this El.

"Sister El, son of Bachsmid's uncle. We met on my 7th birthday. Since then we have played together often. We also had a school even though El finally decided to go abroad to continue his education." Milla continued to tell about her closeness with El.

"Oh, just a little friend." Deka said trying to hold something inside her.

Leo who heard Deka's answer seemed to know what was in the damper boss. He could only smile at the sight of the situation.

"Oh, I thought the boss was a monster. It's still a human being, yes." Inner Leo who believes that Deka is jealous of this man named El.

Milla goes back to telling me a few things about El and her family. He told her everything in a passionate manner, as if his certificate was worth hearing. Deka was tired of hearing it. Somehow he felt like hitting the man that Milla told him about if he was in front of her at the moment.

"Ehm, it seems we've arrived." Deka's speech cuts Milla's story. Without further ado the man opened the car door because the car had indeed reached their destination. The place they stopped was a rest area located not far from the Deka apartment.

Deka went down first and he grasped Milla's hand to lead the woman down from the car.

Moments later, Milla stepped both of her legs out of the car. The shadow quickly ran towards Milla and immediately hugged her.

The man next to her was surprised. His one hand was already reflexively clutching the man's shoulder firmly.

"sister EL?" Reply Milla who made Deka immediately glared and released her grip from the man's shoulder.

"Yes, Milla. Its me. I'm sorry I always come late." replied El who unconsciously shed tears.

Milla returned El's embrace. For him it was like a reunion. How many years have they not met. And that made Milla dissolve in sadness.

"No need to apologize. I'm fine, all right." Milla knew El was a very busy man. So, he did not want to blame El who was his best friend was not there when he needed help.

As the two cried in his arms, Deka felt strange. He didn't like to see that sight. Though it should be natural to happen because according to Milla's story while in the car they have not met about 3 years. But Deka still doesn't like to see it.

Meanwhile, Leo who was beside Deka could only chuckle.

"Well, when else can a gini-like boss," Inner Leo held back his laughing voice afraid that they knew he was watching.

El let go of his embrace. It feels less ethical if they cry constantly. He should have made Milla laugh instead of grieving.

"Sud-but"

"Have not cried anymore" Deka cut off El's words and even pulled Milla into his arms, as if to calm Milla down.

"Hey, who are you?!" Tanya El gave a look of dislike to Deka.

Deka who heard that pinched his emotions. It was possible that the man would raise his tone nearby.

"Ah, sorry-sorry, I thought you already knew who I was, so I forgot to introduce myself. Introduce, I'm Deka, Milla's husband."

Deg, El's heart feels like it's about to pop. Deka's answer left her in shock.

"don't joke! You stranger! If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"
