At Least I’M Free

"Where are you now?"

Type Lilya and send the message to Arvin's contact who appears to be offline.

Lilya understood her best friend was doing this so that no one felt the need to tell Sarah. Even so if Lilya did not stop by and immediately went home, maybe until whenever she would believe in the chat. Now the question is, where would Arvin really go if not to go home?

"Yes, this is a child. many boongnya already."

Yoke!

Lilya was jumped when a light clap landed on her shoulder.

"Are you okay, son? The shopping is too heavy, right?"

With a quick movement Lilya put her phone back in her pocket. He also looked. "E-engga really auntie, this is so easy! Oh yeah, this auntie's going to the hospital again huh?"

The rush of Lilya shifted the topic. Although the heart wants to quickly find the existence of Arvin, but now the most appropriate thing to do is to remain calm and normal.

Meanwhile responding to Lilya's question, Sarah looked down at the white service shirt she was still wearing and smiled. "Yes, maybe abis made dinner aunty have to go on errands again."

Not to know, this routine has become a tradition. Sarah will go home to cook and prepare for the night watch. Although exhausting, he did all this with all his heart.

"So the nurse is difficult too yes," said Lilia who only responded with a smile.

"Oiya, how's the school going now? Every aunt asked Arvin the answer he must be all right, but it was his own father who became a victim."

Lilya was silent for a moment, she did not expect Sarah would openly say it, very inversely proportional to her son who had to be cornered first and just wanted to tell a story.

"Anu.. aunt, I'm so sorry."

Sarah smiled gently. "Aren't you surprised to hear that? Means you know already? Arvin must have told me."

"That's how..." Lilya let out a heavy sigh, she no longer knew if what she said now was the right thing or not. "It must be heavy aunty, but aunty is not anxious I will definitely help if there is anything. Don't hesitate. The investigation part has gone, and soon the culprit must have been stuck."

"Son Lia..."

Although still maintaining his smile, tears began to stick out from between Sarah's eyelids. "Thank you, you are a good boy. Actually from yesterday aunt confused how, even though the police have come here, but still aja..."

Slowly Lilya approached and hugged Sarah. Sarah's feelings clearly voiced the pain. Although he has long been divorced, but as a human his conscience can not be lied to.

"Patience to aunt.sorry Lia can't do much." Said Lilya while patting Sarah's shoulder.

"It's not your fault, it's the tant that's too sensitive" Sarah said, taking off a hug and wiping her tears.

"Oiya aunt, how about I help you cook instead?" Lilya eagerly looked around the food ingredients in the tote bag.

"You're the best at riding people's moods...." Sarah massaged the nasal bones between her eyes and muttered, "Try Arvin's rich you..."

"What aunt? I'm sorry Lia's less tenuous tad-"

"Eh, but what really is this?" Cut Sarah while approaching and choose the ingredients that will be cooked. "You haven't come home yet, have you? What if your family is worried?"

Lilya chuckled "That's it. Ntar them I'm reporting. My home is from here, different from one complex doang. Well.. itung-itung while waiting for his balesan chat anyway..."

...* * *...

The sound of waves and fishing boats tied to the dock became a beautiful sight on the water as blue as the sky. Behind him, among a row of fish storage warehouses on the coast, stands a mangkrak building that has long been left behind. On the rooftop, silhouettes of young men who were sitting cross-legged watching the activities of fishermen who were preparing boats and fishing gear.

Several times the young man yawned while propping up his chin, counting the time until the 'he' he was waiting for arrived.

"Thank you!"

The shout was followed by the appearance of Lilya from the direction of the stairs. The girl walked quickly with a face as red as a tomato. Anyone who saw it must have realized that his anger was mounting.

"Lo was as good as boong, so now I have to pick it up to the place?! Really-just yeah!"

"Well, who asked Sherlock who? Though the cave has said it can go home alone too," said Arvin while staring at Lilya who just stood up while folding her hands in the chest.

"It's good to think of philosophical things" said Arvin, "keep looking, where else can the cave enjoy a super authentic expression that if not from fishermen who are ready to go to the ampe tomorrow morning."

"Lo boongin everyone for the sake of it? I swear I don't know anymore." Lilya crouched down and touched Arvin's forehead. "Lo's still sick, you idiot."

Arvin quickly brushed off Lilya's hand and shifted away. "Cave got the flu, you don't get any serious ntar-Uhuk! Uhukk!"

Lilya who was upset was now only able to hold back laughter because of the behavior of her best friend. While Arvin hastily took the mask from the swish pouch and put it on.

"Huf! How else, because I also lo be kek gini. Oiya, did you stop by the pharmacy?" Lilya pointed at the white crackle pouch that appeared to contain the medicine.

"Yes that. Yakali cave take all the drugs in the UKS."

Staring in the shade, Lilya flanked her wind-blown strand of hair behind her ears. "You can ask me to buy it..."

Arvin was stunned, unconsciously drifting in the beauty that he had been ignoring. His silhouette, his reddish hair fluttering like fire in a painting set in the indigo and magenta sky seemed to drag time into eternity.

"Ehem! By the way, you know how the cave doesn't come home?" Arvin switched topics, he cut off eye contact and chose to re-observe the fishermen.

"Yes, I met Nyokap loah, all of you helped him cook." Lilya sat sticking her legs to the edge. "Lo why the hell did he want to meet nyokap lo? Though he again needs to be cemented tauu."

"Simple anyway, the cave does not want to increase the burden of his mind, besides the cave is not you who know how to entertain people." explained Arvin.

"Ummm. but yes vin, I'm curious about the same alesan ortu lo divorce. Because from what I'm stalking nyokap lo there's still a sense of the same ex."

Arvin shields his chin with boredom. "Getting started, if you're curious the talk is not filtered..."

"Ups! Is she?" Saut Lilya immediately covered her mouth with both hands.

"Gua can not tell a lot, because they divorced when the cave was still leaked. But the kekanya gegara affair deh."

"Have you ever found that detail?"

"Old cave getok your nutmeg."

"Hehe.. okok sorry." Lilya stretched her body while observing around. Indeed, this place presents an evocative sight, but still the expanse of the sea that has no limits it can not buy his heart that already hates the things smelling waters.

"Yeah! I don't like the smell of the sea! go home aja yuk, you'll still be sick ga well long in the damp place of kek gini." Lilya was about to rise but was immediately held back by Arvin's hand.

"Just a minute, the cave was here." Pinta Arvin with a flat tone.

Lilya sighed and sat back down. "It can't be deket-deket let ga ketangsangan..lah this is even mode."

It was as if Arvin had hurriedly removed his grip. "Nake it."

Lilya chuckles. "Halah... said that you were afraid that you were still at home, right?"

"Well, that also includes..."

The two of them were silent, drifting with their respective thoughts.

"Oiya rather than join here mending I show you something interesting." In the spirit of Lilya took out a piece of paper from inside her bag.

"Apaan.." Arvin's curious expression changed immediately when he saw the paper containing the data of the students he knew so well.

"Gue has made an agreement with Huga, about us to the Central Bank of Malem-malem will be safe as long as we investigate Ersya. To be honest I was also surprised, the cake Huga very suspicious of the same ana-"

"Why should he?!" Arvin took the paper and watched it closely.

Lilya. "Why is that why?"

Without poking the question, Arvin closed his eyes and began to sink into a dark memory he had long wanted to forget.

"He's..."
