Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
17. Dear, Seira

Edward looked at Kalula disappointedly. He felt something was wrong here. Why is Kalula suddenly in a hurry to find a boarding place?

"So Edo called you when I had business downstairs?" edward asked with a probing look.

Kalula did not answer but he just looked down. The chopsticks in his hand he still played to cover this scab. The good food in front of him didn't seem to make him tasteful.

Edward put down his chopsticks in a rather rough motion. It's emotional now. But he tried to destroy it himself. He did not want Kalula to equate it with Edo's temperament. In fact, their nature is more or less the same. Equally easy emotions.

"So the officer under her about parking my car. I mean my cousin's car. It's a little long 'cause I have to move first. You lied to me? The reason you haven't taken a shower isn't because of your sleep, is it?" Edward urges.

Kalula still kept his head down. He felt guilty for lying to Edward.

"You lied, didn't you, Kal? Edo called you? What did he say?" Edward became more possessive. He knew his attitude was excessive towards Kalula, but he really couldn't stand it anymore.

Yesterday he felt victorious. Now he was suddenly slaughtered losing like this.

"Yes, Ed. Sorry, I. Mama called Edo. He was clear about all this misunderstanding and he was honest about why I ran away from home. Edo is sorry. He doesn't know. He's nyesel. We're still better." Kalula explained slowly.

Edward's down. Actually he's upset. Kalula felt more guilty. But if he wants to think, actually Edward has no right to be angry about this. He's just a friend, right? Kalula was unconscious, he was already entangled in a strange feeling that was difficult to explain. Edward unknowingly tied her up.

"I lied about me staying here because I knew he was angry. I said we live a rame-rame, not just you. There are also women who work at the cafe. I told you so.

Edo told me to get out of here to find a boarding place. I said payday. Next week, right? But if it can be soon, I think it's better. If anyone knows we live in an apartment like this, surely people will also misunderstand us.

I'll get the money back as soon as I can, Ed. I'll find the cheapest hostel near the cafe. Let me not have to bother with transportation for work. Let me walk" Kalula said, raising his face and looking at Edward with a pleading gaze.

Edward was clearly devastated with Kalula's gaze. Kalula's eyes were his new world.

Edward obviously had money. Much money. Let alone to rent a boarding place a month, to buy a few units only he can afford.

"I don't have any money, Kal. Just enough for the cost of eating until payday. You have lived here for a while. Yea?

We're only a week away, anyway. I'll be looking for a boarding place, yeah. Who knows can be booked and be paid early in the month. Okay?" edward persuaded.

Actually Edward was not sincerely very helpful Kalula looking for a boarding place. His goal is to let him know where this girl lives. So that he can find a reason to come.

What is clear is that Edward did it because he did not want to lose track of Kalula.

"Thank you, Ed. If there is no you, I don't know what to do" Kalula said and sincerely held Edward's hand.

With that one touch, Edward collapsed again. He nodded and smiled. His emotions that were about to explode instantly disappeared.

They continued to eat dinner like nothing had happened. It's just that Kalula is more cheerful now. It turns out that what made him moody since yesterday was not the problem with his mother, but also about him who had a fight with Edo.

Edward tried to let go. Okay, the important thing is that he still wins at distance. This week he will be intense close to Kalula. Edo, who is far away in Tokyo, lost this. Never mind close, touching can not.

***

Later that night, Kalula refuses when Edward asks her to watch a movie in the living room again. Actually more because he was afraid of sleeping and leaning again on the sturdy shoulders of the handsome man.

"I'm sleepy, Ed. I sleep first, yeah. Tomorrow when I wake up in the morning, I wake you up. We run again in the morning. Okay?" kalula said cheerfully.

Edward nodded and smiled, then he walked into his room excitedly.

Well, he could no longer see Kalula's sweet dimples, thick eyebrows, and her beautifully-grained hair. The scenery he always looked at when Kalula was asleep.

Maybe this behavior is a little freak and disrespectful, but he really likes to see Kalula sleeping. Although sometimes the girl's beautiful curves tease her as well. But Edward didn't want to go crazy. If he missteps, Kalula will be released. He still wanted to look like an angel in front of Kalula.

Edward opened his laptop because he could not sleep. He tried to check the reports of the family business that his mother gave him responsibility for. Just be safe, no problem.

Edward was getting bored but the thought of Kalula who had improved with Edo disturbed his calm. He was angry, upset, and wanted to be angry. But then realized, from the beginning Kalula was not his.

His forehead wiggling. He then tried to remember, what information about Edo that Kalula had told him?

Regarding Edo's scholarship, Edward does not remember who the sponsorship company or the institution that funded Edo left for Tokyo. But he remembered at the university where the boy was attending.

Edward's hand immediately moved to type the keyword campus name on the internet. And what he was looking for.

There's not much he can dig. Student data is closed and cannot be accessed. He plans to investigate Edo.

Want to investigate the child through social media certainly can not. Kalula says Edo doesn't have any social media accounts. Edo says social media is a waste of time.

Edward daydreams. Through the official website of the campus he could only see the profile of the university, its faculties, its buildings, and finally he realized something.

"Wait, wait! It's..." Edward immediately glared at the photo of this campus building with more observant. He felt like he had seen it, but where did he...

"God! Seira! This is Seira's college!" edward exclaimed and he immediately grabbed his phone and opened his social media account.

Seira Laksema is her cousin. They grow very close to being small. But unfortunately they have to separate because after graduating High School Seira's parents divorced and Seira joined her papa moved to Japan.

Several times Edward and Seira still often connect through chat or comment on photo uploads on social media. Yes, they are indeed that close because they spend time from Elementary to High School in the same school.

A few days ago he saw Seira uploading her picture in front of this campus building.

Edward's hand moved to check the photo and it turned out to be true! Seira's last post was a photo in front of this campus building

Edward smiled happily. He sent a private message to his cousin.

[ "Seira, you went to Waseda, right? I need your help." ]

Edward clicked the 'send' button and smiled full of pettiness. He knew a piece of his message would be answered by Seira tomorrow.

Edward slept soundly, thinking about his next plan. About her mother is done. Now just find a way to get rid of Edo from Kalula's life.
