I'm Still Waiting for You
Man is a big liar

Edward, Aunt Kinan and Arya went to the Jing family residence, they all got in a car that was followed by many police cars behind it. They stagger there under the sky that is turning dark. The atmosphere on the road also began to feel cold because of the wind that was blown strong.

Edward, in his private car, looked calm looking out the street from the window. The man's face was very cold, even Arya who was driving beside him involuntarily felt her body instantly goosebumps. Feeling that the Jing family will vanish tonight, in Edward's anger.

Aunt Kinan who was sitting in the back passenger seat continued to stare at her phone with a restless facial expression. And the gaze of the woman continued to turn to the window. Looking around like looking for something.

Aunty Kinan even repeatedly called someone from his phone, but there was no reply from the party he contacted. ‘Sial!! Why that guy?!! Why hasn't the phone been picked up anyway?’ inner Aunt Kinan with annoyance.

“What are you doing Auntie?” edward asked from the front passenger seat. The man's voice sounded so cold that it made Aunt Kinan abruptly raise his gaze towards the front. “A-ahh.no, I just called Stella. He hasn't been seen since, and even I tried to contact him but it wasn't answered. I'm afraid he got lost in town because this is the first time he's come here”

Edward squinted his eyes “ First time? Are you sure?”

Aunt Kinan was astonished, he did not understand what Edward meant. But come to think of it, Stella seemed to be very brave around the city without her companionship. Even the woman seemed to be memorized by the road route that people usually pass. “Eum...y-yeah, why?”

“That friend of yours, he looks foreign to me. I hope Auntie can keep her distance from him” said Edward who made Aunt Kinan even more confused. “Asing? Strangers, you just met. Just get to know you guys yet, so there's no harm if you feel Stella is a stranger”

“He is indeed a stranger who can be a friend or foe”

The phone of Aunt Kinan that had been connected, made the woman quickly stick her phone to her ear. “How long was the lift? Where are you?” Ask Aunt Kinan deftly. “Sorry Kinan, I had a business for a while so I can just pick up your phone.” answer from the phone in a quiet voice but can stab the heart making Aunt Kinan unconsciously tremble. “Where are you? Why don't I see you coming with this group?” Aunt Kinan repeated her question.

“Ohh...I'm here, I'm just not in your line. So that's what makes you unable to see my car”

Aunt Kinan sighed “Now you follow the police car behind me huh. Don't get lost!”

“Good, it won't happen!”

After hearing the answer, Aunt Kinan turned off the phone and put the phone back in her small bag. “Are you sure none of this would harm Natasya?” ask Aunt Kinan after saving her phone.

“Now, I don't know. Because all I'm thinking about right now is getting him home safely. And if I find it full of wounds, then I ask your permission to destroy everything in the Jing” residence Edward replied in a voice that sounded staring in anger.

“Hn...why? Are you afraid if Yudha first tells about Aunt Elisha's death to Natasha?” edward asked with his eyes. “Eum..not really, I just..” Aunt Kinan was silent. Not continuing his words made Edward again say “If you are not wrong, why are you even afraid to give an explanation to him?”

Arya who was there, couldn't help but laugh. Until finally the man let go of laughing, and made the 2 people in the car suddenly turn their heads towards him. “What are you laughing at?” edward asked with a sharp look at Arya.

“No sir, I just feel funny with your words.” Edward remained silent. “You said as if you weren't like him. Though it is very clear if you and Aunt are both cowards.”

Hearing this, the two people fell silent. Not to argue with a word Aryan. While Arya again said “Honesty in that life is indeed a lot of people who argue against it, while the lie in that life is the happiness that people enjoy. Because many of them always cover up bitter honesty with beautiful lies, just to make someone happy.

But you won't know that someone you lied to will suffer more and be disappointed in you if you'll continue to lie to him. I think it's better to know the harsh reality than to have to accept a beautiful lie, but it will be exposed later. They are all equally sick, and many people do not want to accept them. But other than accepting the reality, what can we do again? Running away from reality? Or make a delusion that makes someone forget the harsh reality?”

“You talk like that, as if you've experienced it” Edward sneered.

While Arya just laughed, then said “I have never experienced it, and I have never felt it either. Because I know, if it will hurt.” “Hurtful? Yes, very painful” added Aunt Kinan from behind.

“Tante, I'm sorry if I said anything bad. But if you're willing to take my advice, then I'll be very happy.” Arya glanced at the rearview mirror of the car to see Aunt Kinan sitting in the rear passenger seat. “It's okay, I'm so grateful to you for saying that. Because I was a coward, I lied to Elisha, the mother of Natasha. And I too.have lied to Natasha of this dark life”

Edward rolled his eyes, “The man is a big liar, but when he was lied to by someone. Then he will be angry and not accept with such treatment, even though clearly the man himself who started it”

“If that human being is a big liar, then why are you still a part of them? Why don't you have the courage to explain everything? Are you afraid he'll be disappointed, angry, or hate you?” reply Arya who made the atmosphere in the car become quiet.

Arya again continued her words, “However her reaction will be, it is a later affair. Because your goal is to set him free from lies. Not to hurt him. But if he is angry, disappointed even to the point of hating, then let it be. Indeed, when knowing the truth, it takes time to accept it.”

Edward and Aunt Kinan heard this, and his heart was amazed at the words of Arya. “Smart once you spoke, where did you learn that from?” ask Edward with a sneer.

“From miss Tasya”
