Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
21. Meet Seira

Fourth hug.

This is no ordinary hug. Edward always managed to be a tranquilizer in every wound of Kalula.

First, the same embrace amid the hustle and bustle of the streets and the romantic evening atmosphere of the capital.

Second, the embrace calmed down the first time Kalula knew her status as a stepchild.

Third, a hug when Kalula had a big fight with Edo and Edo said rudely to him on the phone.

Fourth, that,...

This embrace is deepening. Kalula spilled his horn. Edward knew he was craving a girl who depended on him, who he could manage to his liking, who was as whiny as Kalula.

The girl who last made her fall in love and break her heart was the independent and dominant type of girl. Perhaps it was because of that trauma that Edward was now more likely to like girls like Kalula.

"Shift you honestly to him if you can't continue this relationship. You want to eat this heart every day. Always worried that Edo was cheating there again. Anxious fear Edo tempted another girl.

Yesterday you were jealous and suspected she was close to Erina. Now it's more proven, right? Plus not just Erina now. But my cousin Seira is too.

Come on, Kal," said Edward, wiping Kalula's tears. His petty incitements began to blow slowly without Kalula noticing.

That night Kalula could not sleep. He sat on the sofa, curled up. Edward sat down beside her. They were silent, dissolved in their minds.

Silent.

But from the glass walls of the apartment, they could see that it was raining outside. It rained like Kalula's eyes that were rushing with tears.

"I sent a photo of the evidence to Edo. Once he wakes up, he will definitely see. I don't know what his reaction was. Tomorrow my schedule is off work. All day off I'm just crying here, Ed." Kalula said softly.

"I'm temenin. Tomorrow is my work day off." Edward.

Kalula was silent again. Edward held his hand. Kalula.

Who is cheating then? Who is the one who betrayed here? Edo or Kalula?

Kalula was always comfortable with Edward who was always by his side. But on the other hand, he seemed to not accept if Edo did the same to other girls.

That morning Edo woke up with a heavy head. There is no school schedule today. While still closing his eyes, he palpated to find his phone.

Yesterday he promised to call Kalula back. But just as his hand opened the lock button of the screen, his eyes instantly opened wide. Kalula sent him several messages at once at midnight last time Jakarta, meaning early morning in Tokyo.

Edo sat down and threw his blanket to the side. His eyes widened when he saw the photo file Kalula's submission.

There are 2 photos attached. The first photo is a screenshot image of Erina's post. There, Edo was photographed and the distance was very close to Erina. The second photo is of Edo with Seira.

Huh! The seira? How did Kalula get this photo?

Edo sat down with trembling hands. He knew Kalula must have thought this was a big misunderstanding. It really is.

But one thing confused him. How did Seira get to Kalula?

The only way to find out is to call Kalula. Edo was pacing back and forth in his room while trying to contact his girlfriend.

Aghhh! Kalula's number is inactive. Edo was upset

See the contact list on his phone again. Besides Kalula, he can find out through Seira himself. Maybe his picture with Seira who he just knew yesterday was up to Kalula. 

Edo immediately contacted Seira, but he did not mention his intention to meet his senior at the college. Seira welcomed his invitation to brunch at a restaurant not far from Edo's residence.

[ "You always say you don't like to play sosmed because you waste time. But you apparently have an anonymous account and do not follow me at all, but you follow Erina and you mention each other.

In addition, whether you realize it or not, in every photo post with the five of you, you and Erina are always close. You always sit together. Can you sit with the others?

I'm too tired Do suspects you continue. I already know the Erina gelagat that I like you from the beginning we met the scholarship selection time.

I think it's enough for Erina to be our barrier. But there was Seira too. I don't know where she is, but look at this photo. Seira claims you guys are close, even you shot him.

What do you want, Do? I'm tired already. I think since you went to Tokyo, our relationship has always been a problem. If you want to break it. Just now, Do. Don't call me first.

Find out for yourself what you want about our relationship. Continue or continue. But if this is the end again, mengeningan us the end."  ]

The message was written at length with abbreviated letters and lots of typos. Edo knew for sure Kalula was furious as he typed it. Edo bit his own lips in panic.

She remembers yesterday Seira saying she sent the photo to poke at her cousin. Then Kalula got that photo from Seira's cousin?

Edo shook his head. Instead of him guessing this indistinct, he better get ready quickly. Seira will see him in half an hour.

Seira stirred her orange juice with frowning brows. Before he came here, Edo had already contacted Edward.

Edward says improvise according to his role. The important thing is that Edo still believes in Seira and considers her to know nothing.

"Yes, I just sent that picture to my cousin in a private chat, Do. Not to sosmed or anything. I'm not chatting with him anymore because he's working in Jakarta again" said Seira.

Edo directly edited his eyebrows. In Jakarta? Okay, this just tapers to his guess.

"Seira, your cousin's a boy, right? What's name?" ask Edo impatiently.

Seira suctioned his drink then he seemed to think and weigh. If he lies, it will also be revealed for a long time. Better to be honest, right?

"Name Edward. Indeed why? Don't you know him?" seira said relax.

Edo instantly covered half of his face with a palm.

Aghhh!

Right, right!

Of the many names of Edward on this earth, Edo is very sure Edward's cousin Seira is the same guy who is close to his Kalula.

"Can I see the picture?" ask Edo.

"Can. Bentar, yes. I checked his sosmed account." Then, without waiting for long, Seira opened her phone and showed one of Edward's photos to Edo.

Goddamnit!

Right again! This is Edward who appears on his phone screen while he is video calling with Kalula. This is the bre*gs*k, Edo's mind with anxiety and emotion

"You don't know him, do you? We're different forces, Do. I'm the same as your senior Edward. Jakarta is big, Do. Why, anyway?" Seira is still a plain pretender.

Edo let out a long breath.

"Edward is a guy who is close to Kalula" said Edo slowly.

"Huh?" Seira's reaction was shocked.
