THE FLO!

Bag. 20

I yawned wide as I entered my school gate. Of course I'm sleepy. Last night Brenda didn't let me sleep and I was forced to tell her everything from start to finish, about how Davin learned of my disguise. So I was forced to tell her first story in Bali. Brenda even gasped when I told her Davin kissed me. Even though Brenda wasn't teasing me, I knew that Brenda was trying to shake off her shock.

Since Brenda didn't want me to feel abandoned, she also told me about Phillip. She said Phillip was different from her ex-husband. Brenda was married once, when she was only eighteen years old and her ex-husband was ten years different from her. Nick is a rude man and often beats up Brenda. When I found out about his hobby, I acted immediately. I told Braxton and the police. Fortunately, the police arrived before Braxton killed Nick. After that, Brenda has a lover who is not much different from Nick. Although not beating Brenda like Nick did, but his ex-girlfriend likes cheating. Since then Brenda feels all men are the same. So Brenda until now has no lover. Then came Phillip. Brenda said Phillip was different from all the men he knew. Phillip is the most gentleman he has ever known. I understand because I was looking for data on Phillip. He is indeed an amazing man. The proof is that he still maintains his status even though his late wife died ten years ago. But if he plays Brenda, I'll act.

"Long in the morning!" a heavy voice beside me. I turned my head around and realized that Davin was walking beside me.

"Now, new father up to now? Shouldn't the teacher have come forty-five minutes before the bell?" ask me while frowning me. God, why is he this handsome? I want to hug his sturdy arm. And when she smiled, I knew I could melt at any moment.

"I woke up late. You yourself why is this so hot? You're sleep deprived?" ask Davin. "Your eye bags are spooky. Girls shouldn't be good staying up late."

Unfortunately, I stayed up because I was talking about my father! Answer in my heart. "I'm just feeling sad, sir. I'm going to leave this school soon."

I could see that his face was shocked, even though he had instantly eliminated it. "Are you sure you found your answer? What about Azka and Caesar?" the question was a lot that confused me. It's just my feeling or indeed the tone is heard...

like people panicking?

"My boss is on the phone. He said I should be back soon. Urgent said," my lie. I can't tell Davin the truth. I smiled at him while patting him on the shoulder. "Thank you, sir, for as long as I'm here you're helping me. I'll try to help you perfect your system."

I walked leaving him. I can't tell her that she's actually the reason I left this school. Even though she knows my disguise, but I can't have a relationship with her. Right now, he is a teacher and my status is his student. I lied to him from the beginning and he lied to me. I don't know who he is or who he is. I'd love to tell her that I liked her from the first moment I saw her but it couldn't have happened. I did love him but I couldn't start a relationship based on lies like this. It's true Brenda said yesterday. If I were to be paired with Davin, I would definitely be united with him, no matter how.

...***...

Stella's attitude had completely changed by one hundred and eighty degrees. He no longer judges everyone. HE EVEN LAUGHED AT A JOKE THAT WAS NOT ACTUALLY FUNNY! I was a bit worried about him but he told me himself that he was laughing out of pity at my friend who said that crisp joke. Not only that, he had also turned out to be much friendlier than before. He greets everyone, even Daisy who he just greeted to shock. To my delight, Stella followed my advice by trying to apologize to Caesar. I accompanied him to meet Caesar. Cesar was shocked at first but he understood. She said she wanted to forgive Stella a long time ago but Stella didn't take the initiative first. I'm glad that Stella's finally reconciled with someone else.

"Lo why?" stella asked as we were at the gate. I was waiting for Brenda while Stella was waiting for her invitation.

I smiled and shook my head. I even patted her shoulder. "Freya must be proud and happy to see you and Caesar reconcile again" I said sincerely.

Stella was startled at first but she smiled when she heard my words. "Thank you" he said sincerely.

Stella's car stopped in front of us. She was saying goodbye to me and I nodded while waving at her. And just before he got in the car, he looked at me. His expression seemed doubtful.

"I don't know if I should tell this story or not. I don't know if you're going to spread this story to anyone else" Stella said. Honestly, I don't understand what he's saying. I looked at him while frowning.

"What do you mean, anyway? Try to speak more clearly," I ordered.

Stella plays her hand on the car door while looking at me. "Lo can keep a secret?"

"Have I ever shared your secret about Freya?" my many. She shook her head. "Do you think I can keep a secret?" ask me again and he nodded slowly. "Lo can hold my word. You can tell me anything without fearing I'll tell anyone else."

Stella looked at me, still with a doubtful look. But he opened his mouth and said one thing that jolted me.

"There's actually a reason Caesar stayed away from me or Freya. Caesar is gay. Freya told me because I was confused about who to tell. When Caesar realized we knew what the secret was, he just stayed away from us" Stella said, leaving my eyes wide open. "But you promise not to tell anyone, huh?"

I fell silent and nodded. "Lo tell someone else?" me and Stella shook their heads. "When you fought with Caesar, did you spread his secrets?" ask me again and Stella shakes her head back.

"Gue's not that bad. He's my best friend, Flo, after all" Stella replied. Her face looked shocked as my hands stretched out and gently caressed her head.

After Stella's car, I'm sculpting. I was still confused by the info I just got. This means I'm only two suspects. Caesar couldn't possibly impregnate Freya because she was gay. Azka is also impossible because for the past year he did not return to Indonesia. It's just Collin or Davin. But Davin himself told me that he didn't impregnate Freya. But can I trust him? I closed my eyes and took my phone. I looked up Davin's name on the contact list and called him.

"Why, Flo?" greet Davin before I greet him first. I'm speechless. "Flo? You there?"

I'm throats. "I just want to ask you one thing, Father. Can I trust my father?" my many.

"You mean?"

"Can I trust you, Father? Same every word you say about Freya?" ask me inside. I was silent because he said nothing. All I could do with was the sound of his long sigh.

"It's not your fault why you can't trust me" Davin replied, puzzling me. "I'll give you a little hint about my identity. If you remember, you'll realize that I can't possibly have anything to do with Freya."

I frowned at me confused. What does he mean?

"Profotechs. Have you heard of it?" the question made my forehead wrinkle even more. What does this have to do with Davin? "So you really don't have a clue, huh? If you remember, you'll know who I am."

I couldn't ask further because Davin hung up. I'm sculpting. I've heard the name Davin said before. Profotech, short for Protection For Technology, is a security company. The company once interrogated my company for a hacking case that took place at an American defense institution. But what does the company have to do with Davin? There's no way Davin owns it because the age of the company is as old as Scott and as I remember the owner of the company is still alive and that person is fully American. I'm becoming more and more clueless. Who is Davin really?

...***...

"Why isn't your food eaten, honey?" ask my mom who made my daydreams go away. I was thinking about Davin so I didn't focus on my food. I lifted my head and looked at my mother with a smile.

"It's just a lack of appetite, Ma" I replied calmly. My mother was still looking at me but I smiled, trying to calm her anxiety.

"There's actually something Papa and Mama want to talk about" said Papa who made me turn my head and look at her. "Papa heard from Mama that you invited Papa and Mama to live with you in America."

"Why? Papa agrees?" I asked with half hope.

Papa's cleared his throat. "Actually Papa is still in doubt, however it feels less responsible if Papa leaves Papa's job in the middle of the road..."

"Then...?"

"Maybe Papa and Mama can only catch up in about two to three months. Papa won't take away Papa's chance to be with this one and only daughter of Papa's" replied my father, who widened my eyes.

"Serious papa? Papa and Mama will be staying with Flo in America?" my many. Mom and Dad nodded at the same time. Unknowingly, I immediately got up to my feet. "Mom and Dad don't worry. I'll take care of everything. Anyway Papa and Mama just need to sit sweet and all the immigration issues will be over."

The father who saw my happy face laughed. He seemed impressed with my enthusiasm. He shook his head. My attention was shifted when I heard the sound of my doorbell. Maybe it's just Brenda. She did tell me that she wanted to visit my house today. When my housekeeper wanted to open the door, I immediately held him down.

"Let me, Bi," I said to Auntie, my name for my maid. Aunt nodded and left me.

I walked to the front door with a very happy heart. I'll stay with my parents in America. I no longer need to live far away from my parents. I even smiled when I opened the door. But my smile was gone when I realized who was standing behind the door. His shocked face when he saw my face was the same as my current expression. We were both shocked.

"Flo? Why are you here?" asked Caesar who made my heart seem to stop.
