Duren's charm, my friend's Dad
Chapter 20

The days have changed and I haven't gone to work in a club in a few days. There was still a bit of trauma over the events of that time. Even though the boss I worked for apologized for what happened back then and said he wouldn't let anything like that happen to me again. He also wished I didn't quit my job. I know that there are a lot of good customers who ask me a lot, they already know I'm not the woman who was there. In fact, often give me tips even though I only accompany them to drink.

I don't intend to get out of there either. As long as my father's debt is still piling up, I have no other choice but to take on such risks at that time.

Today is my schedule to teach tutoring at Lila's house. Several meetings, I also did not see Lila's papa. Lila said her papa was on business outside the city but I thought maybe she was avoiding me on purpose. I don't know, it's good we didn't meet. I was confused as to how to meet him.

"Fanya, we stop by the mall first. Take a walk, will you?" asked Lila, we are currently on our way to her real home.

"But Papah said you can't go, Lila. Did you ask her permission?"

"Not yet, but not at home. Take it easy, yes. Wait a minute, just eat for a minute and go home."

I nodded in agreement, not a bad idea to also go for a walk. I haven't done that in a long time. I don't know when I last went to the mall. I don't have time to please myself.

We agreed to go to the mall first. Not far away.

"Come, Fanya. Cepetan come on."

"Yes, wait a minute."

Lila impatiently dragged my hand. He was so happy to go to the mall. See for yourself the little boy who just set foot in the mall. Ehh or maybe he's the same as me, considering his papa is busy. Who he usually goes for a walk. Having a lot of money is not always fun either.

"You know, Him. I haven't been to the mall in a long time. I usually go alone, but I get bored. Now I'm going with you so I'm really happy."

"I haven't been like this for a long time either. My time is up for work."

"Funny too yes, I'm nothing less but lonely. You lack money but have a warm family. Especially your sister, she's so funny. When will I play again at your house. Your mother's so nice, I'm at home."

"Ohh yeah, tomorrow. I let my Papah first. Eehh there's a new movie, look yuk," Lila pulled my hand to the movie ticket sales.

"Lila, you sure want to watch. We'll have a little lesson."

"Nothing, ever. Yuk, stay here."

I finally indulged in Lila's desire to watch one of the hit romantic movies. After we ate, we went back to Lila's house.

"Seru turns out if it goes the same temen. Play again sometime."

"Now that you live to learn properly, I do not want to disappoint the opportunity given by your papah to teach you. Next week there's a midterm, if the grades don't change, I can't teach you, Lil."

"Lohh why? No one said it like that. You're gonna have to teach me to get to university."

"No, Lila. I don't want you to waste time studying with me but nothing changes. You're looking for a better teacher."

"I don't want to, if it's not you. I don't want to teach anyone."

We arrived at the residence of his father Lila. When he got out of the car, Lila was a little surprised to see his face.

"Why Lil?"

"That's Papah's car" he said with a surprised face. "Have you gone home?"
