Turns out We're Stupid

A painful fact

" Bun, Pa Lia same Viona left first. Mother same Papa do not forget to come yes" Lia hugged her Mother tightly.

" Yes, we'll come" Papa said, gently patting Lia on the shoulder.

" Jaudah, Assalamualaikum" Lia released her arms and crucified her Papa followed by Viona who crucified Mother and Papa.

" How did you say to Rizky?" Lia asked inside the plane after they had passed through several checks.

Viona nodded, the girl let out a long sigh. Viona leaned her head and closed her eyes. Looks tired.

" Vi why?" Lia asked worriedly, not usually Viona like this.

" Huh, no papa mbak" replied Viona without opening her eyes.

Lia nodded, "Yaudah you're sleeping" Lia patted Viona's arm gently. Lia understood the girl did not want to be disturbed.

After an exhausting journey, Lia and Viona finally arrive in London. Lia was happy to enjoy the journey from the airport to Lily's house. Different from Lia, Viona instead looks lethargic and lackluster.

After about 45 minutes, they finally arrived at Lily's house by being escorted by the Rainbow Restaurant people on Lia's orders.

Lia and Viona go straight in because Satpam still recognizes them. Lia excitedly knocked on Lily's door. Before long, the door was opened, but what came was not Lily, but.

czech.

" Who?" Asked a middle-aged woman who looked elegant in luxurious-looking clothes.

" Sorry, I want to meet Lily? Ask Lia politely.

The woman scrunched her forehead, she noticed the girl in front of her.

" I am a friend of Lily from Indonesia "Obviously Lia who sees this woman is silent. Lia thought it was Lily's mother.

The woman looked surprised, but she covered it up. " You call him" replied the woman.

Lia smiled clumsyly, not expecting this woman to be so thin on him. Lia does know that Lily's mother is Indonesian.

Lia immediately picked up her phone and contacted Lily. The plan that wants to make a surprise fails. The girl moved away to contact her best friend.

" Hello Li" Lily said across the street.

" Where do you live?" Lia asked in a soft voice, occasionally the girl glanced back.

" uh? Why?" Lily asked confused, she did not understand the meaning of her best friend.

" Where do you live?" Urge Lia full of emphasis.

" I live in XX apartment on XXX street" replied Lily who was actually still confused.

" Okay" Lia instantly turned off her unilateral call and saved her phone back. The girl walked towards the woman.

" Thank you Auntie, we're saying goodbye" Lia bowed a little bit of her body a sign of respect. He pulled Viona who seemed unconcerned with the surroundings.

Lia walked out the gate with a hand that pulled Viona. Honestly Lia wants to curse Viona who looks so relaxed and bodo very. Even this girl was silent as she pulled him. But Lia held it because she remembered the place. The girl immediately called John, her personal driver who worked at Rainbow Restaurant.

The distance from Rainbow Restaurant to Lily's House was quite a distance. And that, of course, takes a little time. Lia immediately looked for a seat to wait as well as interrogating the strange-looking Viona.

Lia pulls Viona's hand into a garden that turns out to be next to Lily's house. Immediately, he sat down on one of the chairs there. Lucky this place is quiet, making it easier for Lia to talk to Viona.

" Vi"Call Lia without seeing Viona, she's sending John pepper messages to come straight to the park.

" Hmm" The girl didn't even look. He looked straight ahead with a blank look.

" What are you doing?" Lia asked gently, seeing Viona's condition made Lia become pity and not get angry.

Viona shook her head, she still did not see Lia. Even he averted his gaze, and Lia could still see those falling tears.

" Vi, with the mbak. You're Lily's sister. So, whatever it is you can confide in us. So Viona why are you?" Lia tried to explain so that Viona did not need to feel awkward.

Viona looked up, her eyes were already red from crying. She hugged Lia tightly. Shed those tears on Lia's back.

Lia patted Viona's back gently. He felt the girl cry. Lia doesn't know either, but most importantly now Viona has to calm down first.

Viona let go of the hug slowly, she wiped her tears and smiled faintly at Lia.

" Thank you" said Viona, she now felt calmer.

Lia nodded, she stroked the girl's back. Give tranquility.

" Miss "Call John walk towards them.

Instantly Viona wiped the rest of her tears. He bowed his head in shame if John saw her.

Lia gave a hand signal for the man to leave. John who understood immediately left after bowing his body slightly.

"Come on" Lia embraced Viona from the side.

" So you guys came to my house?" Lily asked in surprise, she was surprised because Lia and Viona had come without news and now she was even more surprised to find out that Lia and Viona had come to their house.

" Yes but that woman is Lo's mom, right? He's kind of like we are. That's why I immediately called Lo and immediately said from there "Say Lia a little upset.

" Where does Viona go?" Lily asks who just realized Viona doesn't exist.

" Oh that was right before Lo opened the door he went straight to the bathroom" replied Lia, the girl wanted Viona herself to tell her the matter.

" Oh yeah, what's Dave saying to Lo?" Ask Lia curious.

Lily's face changed. He lowered his head. Trying to hold back the tears that wanted to fall from her beautiful eyes.

" Li, why?" Lia was holding the shoulder of her best friend. Look worried.

Lily wiped her tears, she shook her head. Slowly, he raised his head. Makes Lia jump in shock.

" Lo why?" Ask Lia worried. He really doesn't understand today. Why are all her friends crying?

" You know what? I was smiling and sad" Lily smiled wryly.

"uhuh? mean Lo?" Lia's question didn't understand. How could his best friend be sad when he was getting married.

" So......

Flashbacks

That afternoon, Lily was being treated in her room. He applied a face mask to keep his face smooth and glowing. This girl is very attentive to appearance. By playing hp, Lily leaned her head.

But only a few moments later, the door was knocked. Making Lily lazy had to move on from there. He went out of the room and opened the door. There are rules in this house. Housekeepers cannot open the door. I don't know what the reason is, but everyone in the house obeyed it.

Lily opened the door slightly irritated and with a face mask still on her skin. Making the man who came round his eyes surprised and anxious with the appearance of his lover.

" It's really pretty" Praise Dave right in Lily's ear. It made the girl freeze on the spot.

" Davy? Why didn't you say you wanted to come here? And you know where my house is?" Lily panics a little if her parents suddenly come home and find Dave at home.

" Why, why darling? Can't we? I'd like to meet the Candidate-in-law" Dave said with a big smile.

" Y.. That's not Dave. But right, eem you uselessly came here. Because my parents are not home. It's not home" Lia replied nervously. He was afraid Dave wouldn't believe it.

Dave nodded, "Yes, I can go in" Dave went in without waiting for Lily to answer.

" Bentar yes, I want to wash my face together for you tea" Lily went to her room.

Dave looked around the living room. There are many pictures of a woman and a man who look old. Maybe it was Lily's parents. But, what makes Dave wonder is, why aren't there any pictures of Lily?

Dave's gaze was fixed on a middle-aged woman who placed a tray containing tea and some snacks. The woman looked down and left without speaking. Dave just shook his head in wonder, he went back to observing the photos in the room.

" Sorry old yes" Lily said as she walked over, the girl sitting next to Dave.

" Aren't you" answered Dave watching Lily's appearance.

" why? Is something wrong?" Lily asked who was watching her appearance.

Dave shook his head, he smiled faintly. " It's beautiful" she said honestly.

" Ah you can" Lily pushed Dave's hand slowly. He blushed in shame.

" Oh yes, it feels like your face is more beautiful and fresher" Dave said, answered by Lily's small ruckus.

" So I always care, so that my skin remains bright and fresh, also to be more glowing" Lily smiled brightly.

" You're like an ad you know" Dave chuckled when he realized his girlfriend was advertising beauty products.

" Ih you, I've explained why I've always been grooming" Lily grumbled to a hard pat on Dave's arm.

" Yes, you want care or don't stay beautiful and always the best in my eyes" Dave hugged the girl's arm making Lily blush in embarrassment.

" Oh yeah, what time did your parents come home?" Ask Dave to drink his drink.

" Em was like a long time ago. If he goes abroad. So he didn't come home today. Well if Mama, he said there was a business and it seems like he came home a bit late" Lily explained hoping that Dave understood and immediately went home before his parents came home.

" So you've been lonely at home all this time?" Dave asked staring intensely at Lily's face.

Lily grumbled inwardly, why did this man even discuss it anyway. Though that is not the main point of Lily's intention earlier.

" That's it. But I was alone at home. I feel independent and nothing bothers me" Lily answered lying, obviously lonely at home.

" Oh" Dave pretended he didn't know about it. Though, he could clearly see the sadness that radiated from Lily's eyes.

After that, they chatted lightly. Joking, laughing, making out, finishing the food at the table. Until the two of them did not realize the day had begun to afternoon. Dusk began to say hello.

" Mommy are you a long time away?" Dave asked a glance at the clock on his wrist.

" Em didn't know, but I thought I was coming home last night" Lily replied a little nervously. He hopes his words are right.

Dave breathed a long breath, he smiled faintly. " It's not time I met your parents. I have an important meeting at 5. So I gotta go" Dave stood up from his seat.

" Yaudah ga papa. You be careful yeah. I'll take you to the front" Lily also stood up and followed Dave who walked first. Inwardly, the girl was relieved that Dave had come home before her mommy came home.

" Be careful" Lily smiled sweetly as she waved her hand.

Dave smiled widely, he returned Lily's hand. But the man did not leave. Even he walked backwards to see Lily until his car.

" There you go back" Lily smiled anxiously at her lover.

" I love you" Dave put his hand to his lips and kissed his hand and opened it to Lily.

" I love you too" Lily smiled sweetly. But then the smile changed when he saw a woman staring intently at him.

Dave scrunched his forehead, he looked back. Dave tilted his head, trying to guess this woman. Ha, he knows! This must be Lily's mother. With a wide smile, Dave politely slapped the woman's hand.

The woman looked flabbergasted. He walks away indifferently. His steps stopped in front of Lily. "Who?" Ask the woman cold.

Lily glanced at Dave. The man seemed surprised to hear it.

" Him....."

" I'm Dave, Lily's future husband" answered Dave walking towards them. The man was shocked when he heard this woman could speak Indonesian.

Alice looked cute. He walked away without saying anything. Makes Dave wonder about it. Lily was afraid something would happen.

" Dave you go home, "Lily pushed the guy's shoulder slowly. Urge him to go home quickly.

"Li, why? She who? Your mama?" Dave's question held Lily's hand which kept pushing her.

Lily looked at that face. " I'll explain later, you go home first" Lily said.

" Lily, what's wrong?" Dave asked confusedly.

Lily answered, Alice shouted from inside the house. Make Lily come straight in without caring about Dave anymore.

" Yes Mom "Lily bowed her head. Not daring to look at her angry-looking mommy. The girl did not even dare to sit down.

" Sit" Pinta Alice in a low and stressed tone.

Lily immediately sat down, but she still bowed her head. Honestly, this was the first time for Lily to be scolded like this. But in the girl's heart, she felt happy. At least, his parents still care about him.

" You're dating?" Ask Alice flatly.

Lily hesitated. He squeezed his finger down.

" Why not permission?" Alice asked to raise a ladder.

" I'm sorry" Lily said softly.

" You don't appreciate us" Alice looked at Lily with a strange look.

Lily looked spontaneously. It doesn't mean that at all.

" It's not that, but we rarely have time for the same" Lily said again bowing her head.

Alice took a long breath. " You know, you should be grateful. You live well with all the luxuries that exist. While she was, she lived a tormented life and finally left" Tears fell onto the middle-aged woman's cheeks.

Lily was surprised, who did her mom mean? The girl looked up and was surprised when she saw her Mom crying.

" Mom, what does that mean?" Lily asked confusedly.

Alice looked at the girl, she actually could not bear but because this girl was she lost her child.

" You've grown up, you deserve to know the truth. All this time, we deliberately didn't throw you away because you were a child. But now you're big, and you already have a potential husband "Alice staring fixedly at Lily's face.

" sthat mean?" Lily asked hesitantly, She was afraid to hear something she did not want to know.

" Ten years ago, I gave birth to a daughter. I brought him home. But someone kidnapped her, who she was, but she was after our son. Until, we can find it in a dumpster. We immediately believed it was him. But when you're 7, we only know the truth. Apparently, what we took was not him, but you. And our son is dead because of the kidnapping. You know, we still adopted you even though we didn't give you the affection "Alice wept so bitterly considering her son who died sadistically from the kidnapping.

Lily froze in place, she didn't know what to do. Time stopped, leaving him unable to do anything. Lily was like dreaming. It felt like he had fallen into a very deep abyss. His tears were dripping with great force as he tried to understand. So this turned out to be the reason. He just found out, his heart hurt, hurt, it turns out they were not his parents.

" Prilly, please don't use that name again. Prilly Alice Michael, our dead son. So you don't wear that name anymore" Pinta Alice was cold, her tears just kept sliding freely onto her cheeks that were beginning to wrinkle.

Lily was silent, she was flinching. It hurts so much. Until his eyes blurred and he did not know what happened after that. He only heard someone calling him with great worry.

Flashback off

" Continue?" Lia asked doubtfully, as she saw the tears that kept falling on Lily's cheeks.

Lily shook her head, "I was taken with Dave and he bought me this apartment. And yes, he wants to marry me as soon as possible, 3 more days "Answer Lily smiled bitterly.

" Lo be patient" Lia hugged her best friend tightly. I can't imagine being in Lily's position.
