EPISODE 29 DATING? (part 2)

“This is it, thank you senior.” Fimela. “Hm? Where's your home?” Ask Ivan. “You can't stay here right? It's still a school complex.” Sambug. “Senior will really drive me home?” Ask Fimela. “Of course. Didn't you agree?” Answer Ivan.

Fimela was silent for a moment, then she voiced her thoughts. “Are we not just theatricalizing?” Ask Fimela. Ivan gasped at Fimela's question.

So he just thought of this as a sweet charade? Ah, true. It's just a charade, what do you expect Ivan to do?

He developed a smile full of irony. “Ya, this is just a skit.” Answer with a bitter smile. Fimela felt a speck of foreign taste that she never expected to enter the recesses of her heart.

Whatisthis? What's with this regret? What's with this guilt?

“Hm? You why?” Ask Ivan. He saw a beam of regret on Fimela's face. “Eh? Me why?” The question just escapes. He did not know what to answer, because he himself did not understand his current feelings.

“No, it's okay. Do you want to go straight home or want to go somewhere first?” Ask Ivan. At the same time, Fimela gets a message from Arora and Chemira.

‘*We might be home late. Don't be in a hurry, just enjoy your day.’ – Arora.

‘Don't wait for us to come home and don't rush to go home. You can enjoy today first.’ – Chemira*.

‘Where are they going? I don't have any friends at home. If I don't go home, where am I going?’ Her thought. ‘Enjoy the day? What does it mean?’

He was too preoccupied with his own thoughts to ignore Ivan. “Fimela? What's up?” Ivan's question made him loose from his mind. “Ah, no senior.” Answer her.

“Hm, then, do you have a minute?” Ask Ivan. “Why?” Ask Fimela back. “Nothing. I just want to take you somewhere you might like.” His answer was a little wrong. “That's it, em. if you want.” Connect her.

Fimela thought for a moment, ‘What kind of place does she mean? He said Pocket might like the place, but does he know what I like?’ Her thought. ‘But if I go home, there's nothing I can do. Would I rather come?’

“Alright, I'm coming.” Fimela replied with a smile and this time felt very sincere. “Come, come with me.” Say it while holding Fimela's hand. “E-eh?” Fimela looked confused by her attitude that suddenly held her. But Ivan ignored him, he kept tightly grasping Fimela, he wanted to enjoy time like this.

They keep walking. Enter the area that is quiet residents, passing through various kinds of hallways also cross the bridge. Fimela was a little scared, they were getting into a sparsely populated corner. “Se-senior, where are we going?” Ask her softly.

“Not to be afraid, I won't do anything to you. I have integrity.” His reply calmed Fimela down. “Hm, alright.”

They passed by the houses of the people around, and like him Ivan often came here to see so familiar he was with the people here. They continued walking until they arrived at a fairly long and very quiet hallway, there were only a few people there.

When it almost reached the end of the hallway, a fairly large hole was seen on one side of the wall. Ivan invited Fimela in. “Come.” Her speech. Fimela was scared, but curiosity overcame her fear.

He went into the hole and found a large wasteland filled with various plants with beautiful colors and soothing eyes. “You like?” Ivan asked who went in there. “Hm, I like.” Fimela answered happily.

“So senior, what's wrong with my body?” Arora's question slipped an impatient tone in her sentence. “Can we talk about it elsewhere?” Zhuzu answered with a question. “Haah, okay. I don't know about the neighborhood, so can seniors lead?” Arora.

“Hm, how about city park?” Ask Zhuzu. “Serah.” Answer Arora briefly. “Alright, come.” Zhuzu said as he took the lead.

Arora follows in Zhuzu's footsteps, who he says will head to the city park. But Arora was a little unsure about that, since they just walked down the hall that was quite spacious but very quiet, there was no one there.

“Senior, we're going to the city park right?” Ask Arora. Zhuzu turned around and looked at Arora, “You don't believe me?” Ask her with a probing look. ‘I can't trust anyone from your family, including you.’ Inner Arora.

“No, I trust you.” Replied Arora with a lazy tone. Zhuzu was a little annoyed by Arora's reply, but he chose to ignore it and re-lead the way.

They kept walking in that hallway. And on one side, Arora saw a shabby little boy approaching Zhuzu. “Sister, are you back? What's up?” Ask the little boy. “Nothing, I just want to go to the city park. You alone? Where's your brother?” Zhuzu asked as he rubbed the little boy's head.

Zhuzu left quickly from there, leaving behind Arora and the little boy. “Beautiful sister, are you her boyfriend Brother Zhuzu?” Ask the little boy to Arora. “Not, I'm not her boyfriend.” Arora replied, looking down and rubbing the little boy's head.

“You're still a kid. It's not time for you to know about dating.” Connect Arora with sweet seyum. “Sister, you're so beautiful. Why don't you be Zhuzu's girlfriend? He is a good man.” The little boy's words vividly, made Arora shake her head.

“Who taught you to talk like that? The decision to be with someone can not be taken easily, must have a lot of consideration.” Answer Arora. Then suddenly there was someone pulling him from behind and then directly hugging him. “Aaa! Release!”

“Beautiful, how about you just be with me? I guarantee you'll be satisfied.” A foreign man suddenly came and hugged her. “Hey, ugly. Release my beautiful sister.” The boy threatened.

“Heh, are you threatening me?” Ask the man sharply. He and the little boy seemed to be sending each other warning signals. “Let go of beautiful sister if you still want to have a future.” Answer the little boy boldly.

“Bare you too, I want to know what you can do.” Exclaim the man with confidence. “Hmp, hmph.” Arora wants to tell the little boy to get out of there. But could not, the man smothered his mouth and held his hand.

“Silence. I'll let go of the little boy if you follow.” The man's whisper in Arora's ear. “Not a pretty sister, don't follow her. He's dangerous.” Say the little boy. “Heh, boy. You don't be brave, you won't be able to do anything. This is my area of power.” The man replied more confidently than ever.

Shortly after, there came a few more people. They have big bodies and look very strong with big muscles in their bodies. “Hey is beautiful, follow me. I guarantee the little boy will be fine.” Whisper again.

“You, release him.” Say someone in the back. “Heh, who are you? Dare to interfere in my affairs.” Answer the man in a annoyed tone. “Sister! You're finally back.” Say the little boy while running towards the source of the sound. Arora could not look back, but she knew that voice.

That's Zhuzu.

“I think you're wrong about something.” Zhuzu said as if he had come across the foreign man. “Hey, don't come near or I finish you.” The man threatened. “This is not your territory.” Zhuzu.

Along with the launching of the sentences, there was a rumble from the opposite direction. The sound grew stronger and closer. Before long people came to bring various types of goods that could hurt.

“This is my area.” Connect Zhuzu. After the sentence was launched, those who had just come immediately took up their weapons and started attacking the army of foreign men. “Hey, you. Quickly finish them.” The man's orders to his men.

While his men are fighting, he wants to go sneak up from there with Arora. “You, stop.” Zhuzu said by pointing a small silver needle from behind. “You can't leave yet. Release him.” Reciprocity.

“You, I won't let go. She's mine. My men will take care of you soon.” Said the man confident that his men would win. “Common, release him.” The sentence was uttered with great emphasis, making anyone who heard it shudder in horror.

“You..” Before the man finished his sentence, Zhuzu stabbed his body with those silver needles in certain parts. His body turned lunglai and immediately released Arora. “Huaa, beautiful sister. You survived.” Said the little boy while running around hugging Arora.

After the man's body fell down helplessly, Zhuzu simply ignored him, leaving him lying on the ground. He prefers to look at Arora. “You okay?” Ask Zhuzu. Arora looked at those beautiful blackish-blue eyes. “Hm, a-I'm fine.” Answer Arora.

Zhuzu stretched out his hand, “Do I help you stand?” Ask her. Arora felt her legs limp from fear, and she chose to accept Zhuzu's help. “Hm, thank you.” The answer.

Then the noise that had surrounded, began to subside and finally disappeared. “Bos, we've finished them.” Said a young man who was as shabby as the little boy earlier. “They should be flanked, boss?” Ask the other young man again.

“Bring them to the police station, let the cops finish.” Answer Zhuzu. Then he went and got a big plastic bag. “This, share.” He said while giving the bag to one of the young men.

“Thank you for that one.” His words were sincere with a gentle, friendly aura. “Cause, boss. We'll definitely protect his boss' girlfriend. We won't let you down.” The man replied as he touched the food in Zhuzu's bag.
