Astrid stood at the door staring at Karen and Farel. Flo could see the disappointment on Karen's mother's face. Flo, however, was unable to do much. The choice remains in the hands of the girl.
Karen, you should be more concerned with your mother's feelings than this man. Your mother's love, much more sincere than her. Flo looked at Farel with her eyes on her tail.
"I want to introduce you to Mama" said Farel.
Flo turned her head and looked at Farel, "For?" tanyakanya.
"I want to make you my fiancee soon." The man smiled at her sweet smile.
Flo was momentarily stunned. Many questions in his head that appeared after Farel's statement earlier. He felt that Farel was too quick to make a decision.
"Why so rushed? Our age is still young" Flo subtly refused.
Anyway, they just got into a relationship. There will be many people who think, if Karen is the girl who snatched her friend's lover. Moreover, Karen and Gisel's relationship was quite good at the moment.
"If I can, I even want to marry you tonight" whispered Farel.
Flo glanced. This man was really happy to act as he pleased. It was very desirable for Flo to strangle a selfish man like Farel. Lazy arguing, making Flo turn her face and look outwards.
They were in the car to get to campus. "Did she think getting married was, as easy as turning the palm of the hand? It's as if I were talking!" muttered Flo annoyed.
Farel who heard the murmur broke. The man touched Karen's fingers on the girl's lap. Flo is shocked and almost punches Farel, in case the man does not rush to remove his hand from Karen's fingers.
"You're a martial artist, aren't you?" tanyakanya.
"Slightly," Flo replied without distracting from the outside.
"So, you almost twisted my hand" Farel added.
"Sorry." That's all Flo can say.
If I'm honest, Flo doesn't like Farel one bit. That guy was too selfish for a Flo. Not to mention, his indecision to Karen who ended the girl was planning to rot. However, in the end, Karen also suffered and chose to die.
Is he unaware of his mistake? You fucking jerk. I would like to******self to be a dust flake.
The rest of the trip was spent in silence. Every now and then, Farel would turn his head and gently rub Karen's hair. His face continued to show a happy smile. It was, seen from the corner of Flo's eye.

Farel parked his car not far from the cafeteria. In a hurry, Flo immediately went down and left Farel. Not wanting to lose Karen, Farel goes after her. His wide footsteps made Farel able to catch up with Karen.
Many eyes looked towards them. Of course, that makes Flo uncomfortable. His face looked more upset. Deliberately, Farel was embracing Karen's shoulder. Makes him more upset.
"Get your hands off!" Flo let go of Farel's hand that was coiled around his shoulder when he heard Arsen's rebuke.
"Arsen!" flo was surprised. Flo's two eyes puffed up looking at the anger on Arsen's face.
Arsen immediately stepped pulling Karen's wrist. Hiding Karen behind his back. Farel did not take it seriously.
"You've hurt her enough!" Farel scrunched his forehead not understanding.
"Hurt her?" Farel repeated Arsen's speech.
Meanwhile, Flo, was surprised to hear Arsen's words. His mind began to suspect, if Arsen was among the people who wanted to make Karen back. Could he be the one to put me back on the line? what purpose?
Flo could no longer hold back the curiosity that filled her mind. He pulled Arsen's arm strong, and made him turn around. Flo's eyes panned sharply.
"What do you mean? How do you know the trouble between me and Farel?" Arsen looks calm and dignified.
Ah, dammit! If it wasn't because I wanted to come back soon, I would've beaten this guy!
"Attrid's aunt told me. He called me earlier." Flo looked at both of Arsen's beads.
Flo sighed violently and closed her eyes. What Astrid was worried about was true. A second later, he opened his eyes again. Without saying goodbye, the girl left the campus.
Farel and Arsen who repeatedly called him did not he gubris. Flo stopped the taxi from the front of the campus. Ask the driver to go to the address he said.
It didn't take too long, he arrived at Astrid's bakery, Karen's mother. He went in and looked for the gentle woman.
"Mother's here, Nin?" ask an officer.
"It's inside, Mba," the young girl replied.
Flo smiled and walked into Astrid's room. However, Flo still prioritizes politeness. The girl knocked on the door and entered. Astrid did not look surprised to see his arrival.
"Mother." Again, Flo prioritizes politeness. He approached Astrid and kissed the back of her hand.
Astrid continued to stare at him without blinking. That obviously made Flo a little misbehaved. Flo also cleared his throat to neutralize the throat that seemed to be choked.
"Bun, Karen wants to ask you a question?" ask Flo.
"About Arsen's arrival," Astrid casually guessed. Flo nodded his head. Astrid tells Karen to talk.
"Where, Mother, do you know the trouble between Karen and Farel?" Flo immediately asked the point.
Astrid looks silent. Flo looked at Karen's mother's eyes inside. Trying to find the answer from the gentle-looking woman's eyes. While from the subconscious there, Karen's soul entered the eyes of the mother.
For a second, only silence enveloped the room. Astrid cleared her throat and fixed her position.
"Because you've looked different since you didn't go after him anymore. You look more mature, too." Astrid's reply, made Karen's soul instantly speechless. As if he thought, how far is it from his mother?
Flo looked down at the old man's eyes, "Is that how I was with, Mother, first?" tanyakanya.
The woman shed tears. However, as fast as lightning he removed. Flo kept looking at Astrid's eyes. Karen herself had already felt a tightness in her chest. He realized his past mistakes.
"Yes, you used to think only of him. As if Farel was the center of your life." Astrid lowered her face. He didn't want to make his daughter sad.
Flo clutches Astrid's body. He does that, hoping Karen feels his mother's pain. Without Flo realizing it, he cried, because Karen's soul was sad.
"Sorry, Mother." That's all Flo can say. You cried?
Now I know, the reason I can't go back. The key is in you, Flo
"If you hadn't done all this, maybe you wouldn't have worried too much about yourself" Astrid said expectantly.
"Karen will try. Karen doesn't want to make you sad anymore. Sorry, because all this time Karen can only make you worry" said Karen.
Apologize to your mother. Spend your time. Hopefully, your relationship, is much better after this. Flo, deliberately let Karen's soul control her own body.
