The Side Away

19

Ever since Laura decided to stay in her apartment, Gino has changed her habits a little. Before Laura was there, she was used to waking up early in the morning wearing only shorts without clothes. Then do some light exercise before finally going to work. But after Laura's presence, Gino no longer did the habit. And the person most grateful to see that change is David. The man continued to stare at her as Gino came out of his room wearing clothes complete with the scent of perfume emanating from his body.

"Look at that lecherous and happy look" said David as soon as Gino set foot in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" tanya Gino suspects the man is making a mess in his kitchen. "Are you cooking scorched porridge again?"

"Didn't you see a crab that big?" david asked annoyed.

"It's not usually you cook crabs, is it because of Laura?" gino's question confirmed the oddity.

"Your girl wants to eat seafood, you just ignore her."

In addition to dirty mouth sometimes David can be relied on at certain times. Gino leaves the kitchen and knocks on Laura's door, the girl has not left the room since yesterday's incident. He did not force Laura to forget the incident, but David who understood the girl better made her jealous. About Laura's desire to eat the seafood, Gino didn't even know it.

The door of the room opened, revealing Laura's face. The sadness was heartbreaking but Gino did not have the courage to dispel the girl's grief.

"La, you want some seafood?" ask Gino to make sure.

Laura nodded in response.

"I doubt David's cooking, if you don't mind. We can eat at my restaurant, the food is good and it's definitely halal" said Gino awkwardly seeing Laura not react with his invitation.

"Where?" ask Laura.

"It's not far from here."

During the trip to the restaurant, Laura did not make a sound and Gino felt the silence made him sympathize with the girl. But what was currently troubling him was not that silence. But the ring, which was still on Laura's ring finger, turned out that the girl had not let go of the thing. Does that mean Laura hasn't let go of the relationship?

Laura, the girl she loved since she was in junior high school. Now turned into a beautiful girl of twenty-three years old and was not within his reach.

Gino began to slosh past his destination, he was forced to turn towards the restaurant.

"No, is your relationship with Mika?"

Gino glanced at Laura at a glance then looked back at the crowd in front of him. He has trouble driving on slippery roads filled with snow.

"Why are you asking me about that?" Gino asked back.

"From the beginning you must know the relationship between Mario and Mika, why do you hide this No?"

Luckily the car was already in the restaurant parking lot so Gino did not step on the brakes suddenly. The question made him feel guilty, Gino shouldn't have kept that secret. And the impact on Laura's disappointment.

"Sorry La" said Gino, not daring to touch the girl's eyes.

"I think you're going to change, but you're still the same person. No, isn't it enough for you to let me down and get hurt?"

"Sorry."

"If from the beginning you were telling me that woman was Mika, maybe I could understand why Mario was acting so strangely. Now I can't do anything but get stuck in this relationship. No, why did you help Mika keep this secret? Is it because you fell in love with her?" ask Laura streak.
