The Love of Kalila

Dem Suspicious

"Where?" ask Marcel to Lila when his mother is gone.

"What's the matter?" ask Lila back.

"That mom is actually going to go home, not me. I have been here for three years never told to go home, even those who come to my place." explained Marcel about the implied purpose of his mother.

"So?" Lila hesitated to answer what.

"So you agree not to come with me to Batam next week?"

Lila still cleared her throat, the 'no' answer was already on her mind, but somehow it didn't come out through her vocal cords. It was as if his heart and brain were out of sync to answer Marcel's question.

"But om and Nana?" lila's voice asked again. Afraid that Marcel would get angry because there was no answer from Lila's lips.

"If it's Jhony I'll say it."

Deg. Marcel's words just now didn't seem to be playful, visible from his serious-looking, fiery eyes. What would Om Jo say if he knew Lila was going to visit Marcel's parents. If only this news spread, it is certain that the loss is his om who must withstand embarrassment for his actions.

Along the way to the house, Lila kept thinking. It seems he has gone too far into Marcel's life. And either will be as big as his feelings for Marcel. The possibility of heartache he would feel so terrible if the man returned to his wife's side.

They were in front of Jo's house. Fortunately, it was Om Jo who welcomed Marcel. As usual the shocked face was shown by Jo. The old man was probably so shocked. Didn't he give Marcel a subtle warning about Lila and her trauma.

"Oh yes om, I'll take Lila to Batam next week. It's probably two or three days if I'm not busy." Marcel opened as the three fell silent while observing each other's speech.

"Huh? Why?" of course Jo's shocked om is not a bitch. He who knew Marcel since he was in High School, knew exactly who was in Batam, until he took Lila there.

"My mom invited Lila specifically." Answer Marcel casually.

"But..." Jo still accepts reality.

"I'm not forcing. If you let me take Lila and keep her there. So you don't have to worry. But if om doesn't allow it, I'm forced to refuse my mother's invitation." Clearly Marcel again with hidden intent in his sentence.

"But son Marcel, what if...."

Lila who was curious about the follow-up sentence om Jo had to be disappointed when Marcel ambushed the conversation swiftly.

"Nothing will happen. I promise. I'll protect Lila. No need to worry."

Jo did not answer. His eyeballs he turned while thinking of the right answer. Honestly, inwardly, he refused. But Lila's face looked enthusiastic.

"On Nana.." continued Marcel again.

"Alright, Lila go and take care of yourself. Tell Nana and see you visiting friends there."

In other words, Jo agreed that Lila went to Batam with Marcel. He also helps give us a reason to use if Nana and her aunt ask.

Om Jo's worries disappeared immediately upon seeing Lila's happy relieved face. As the old man who was once young he knew, his nephew was being ravaged by the love virus. And his assessment of Marcel was not always negative either. He knew the boy was kind and polite, because he had once been Nana's closest friend. But because of one thing, everything changed. How his behavior caused Nana to turn into an enemy, breaking their relationship because of that too. And the reaction om Jo so see the figure of Marcel was because of the same thing as well.

As soon as I saw Marcel with Lila, I don't know why Jo was a little relieved.

***

A few days later.

"Well bro?" carlos asked as soon as he saw Dem was busy with his phone.

"We gather again, please do not nge hp if again collected. You know the time I've spent meeting you!" joking around Fandi.

"Lo unemployment eyes! My shares where there are yes. At Marcel hotel, this club, your restaurant ******!" pongah Fandi pointed at Aji using the bottle he was holding.

"Thank God you were born to a rich family that does not need to be difficult. Most difficult bokap lo, have a child can not dipake gini!" reply Aji.

"An**r!" almost a fistfight occurred between the two sohibs until Dem finally opened his voice.

"Btw, where's Marcel going?" tanya Dem entered into the conversation after her chant insinuated about hp.

"Go back to Batam. Yesterday's kissy Aunt Henny again the same way L....." Answer Aji lightly.

Soon Fandi smothers Aji's mouth which is famous for a little bucket.

"Who's the guy?" ask Dem curious.

"Chickens together. Gatau. New time." Carlos replied no less.

"Who else called from earlier, bro?" tanya Fandi switched the conversation.

"Oh, this is Lila. The number's off, it's been a few days can't be contacted."

Hearing Lila's name, the three compactly gulped full of distress. How not, they all know Marcel went to Batam with Lila.

"Thou.. M.. Mungs... Kin.. Busy again, bro. Yeah busy. Or a family vacation." Fandi replied stammeredly afraid of mispronouncing.

At first Dem intended to ask why his friend's attitude was strange, only to be undone when the woman's voice deafened their nervousness.

"Demmmm!!!" call Lea in the middle of the crowd of men and immediately wrestle spoiled to Dem.

"Oh, Le!" reply Dem which has been commonly used as a tool for the woman. He doesn't feel uncomfortable. It is precisely the uncomfortable Dem chum.

"Centil lo!" maki Fandi could not see the sight in front of him.

"Where's marcel? Pantes there's nothing lacking in my eyes." look for Lea among the four men there.

"Turn back to Batam he said, I also just found out." Answer plain plain Dem.

"Oh," Lea got up from Dem's lap and sat down in the next chair, joining in on the conversation.

"Btw Martha is back in Bali?" lea's initiative opened the chat.

"Heem," answered the four compactly.

"Ha, really Marcel. There's a new toy that's been thrown old. I just started to fit in with Martha. It could be for the sake of a girl as clean as that shroud, Marcel dumped Martha."

Fandi and the others were a bit panicked by the chatter. They were afraid that Lila's name would be by Lea. Instead of hiding the facts about Lila that Marcel already had, they were more afraid if Dem and Marcel were fighting only because of women.

"Pain girl?" dem asked confused.

Quickly Fandi who was facing Lea nudged the woman's leg as a gesture not to discuss the matter of Marcel's mistress. Fortunately he understood. For a little he also drove Lila to the stable of Marcel.

"Yes that.. I went to my friends first!" lea's permission was immediately scrapped so.

The peculiarity of Lea's unusual attitude and the wry smiles of the sohibs made the previously indifferent Dem become suspicious. There's something hidden from him about Marcel. But he doesn't know what it is.
