Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
69. Bad Gossip Seira

Edo felt the sound of his own breathing getting heavier. He is like a criminal figure who is cornered and can not do anything. Yes, Erina is like an unforgiving interrogator.

He should have gone home sooner and taken a shower first. He should have checked his condition before appearing in front of his friends. At least get some glass.

The new Edo this time is very close and physically intense with women may not be experienced for this. He was also surprised by the lipstick.

Or maybe Seira did deliberately leave that mark? I don't know.

Erina, Ajeng, Beni, and Aldo were still staring intently at Edo. They were certainly waiting for Edo's mouth to open and talk, but Edo was still silent.

Edo knew he would not be able to argue or make any more excuses. This situation was too powerful to corner him.

"Sorry." Finally the words of that piece alone were able to come out of Edo's mouth.

Erina let out a long breath so that everyone could hear. The others certainly knew Erina was upset. They are equally upset. They consider Edo to be outrageous.

"Do, it's none of our business what do you want out there. Including you want to do the same with your girlfriend. The effect is that we judge you. You're just worried. Moreover, Seira's track record among the children of the other student community is very worrying." Erina the leader forced herself to speak again, but in her heart she was fed up.

Among her other 4 friends, Erina felt responsible. So when there was one that he felt was straying from the path, he worried half to death.

"Seira's good." Edo spoke softly while looking down. He was too embarrassed to raise his face in front of Beni who was sitting right in front of him.

"Yes indeed. But friends? Hey, he's a big deal. You know what the character is. Yes, beautiful, friendly, easy to blend, easy to like people.

Do, our senior brother at the art school is the same age as him. He plays a lot too and slums here and there. Tau no, early Seira here, he had caught the police together with his friends at the party." Erina deliberately paused her story to see Edo's response.

"Why ketangkep? Now he is fine and not punished. Why, anyway?" Edo seemed to be trying to defend Seira even though hearing the fact just now made him shocked as well.

Seira was arrested by the police? Wh why? Because what?

"Yes, his American friend was taking a drug. You know it. Until entering the newspaper and became a hot topic among the Tokyo student community." Erina inexplicably wanted to make Edl's eyes open and leave Seira. Honestly, he was kind of unwilling to see Edo's togetherness with Seira.

Erina felt Seira was a snake and Edo was her tender prey.

"But he's free, right? The proof is now college and all right." Edo denial and keep denying the facts. I don't know why he did this.

Edo knew Erina wasn't the gossip girl type. So what he's telling you is definitely a fact.

"Yes, because he's underage according to the law here. Entering the club is not possible either. He's really smart. Said his friend in Jakarta he even entered the acceleration class.

Just yeah it is. In the early days here until now, the association is worrying. Some even believe Seira can be free even though the test results are positive because of the influence of the wealth of his papa. I don't know." Erina seems to be getting tired of convincing.

Edo was trying to keep denying the facts. Erina was long and tired. So did the others.

"Maybe it was a mistake. Keep the rumors exaggerated." Edo is still trying to straighten out when in his heart sure that the fact is crooked.

His belief was Edo reinforced with his memory of every word aka the comments of papa Seira when he stopped by their house, even staying overnight.

"Oh, he again. Take care of him, Do."

"Oh, Sei. Not an American friend. Mercifully. There go upstairs."

"Papa really surprised you more often at home these days. But good. Edo seems like a good guy. Not like your old friends.

Ajeng the innocent looked at Erina's expression and grew even more anxious. He also spoke unexpectedly. Maybe he meant to help Erina convince Edo. But the result is even more misunderstanding.

"Seira also shared her photo. Yes photo te..."

"Ajengs. Stopit! Hitherto. That's not to say. Later we will think we bring up the past people. Everyone knows Seira denies that fact. In the photo he said it wasn't him. It's just like it." Erina tried to end the words from Ajeng's unfiltered mouth.

Ajeng just grinned.

"But similar. We saw yesterday when we were told about Nita?" The mouth without brakes started talking again.

Erina glared at him until the child was silent.

Edo who initially felt his position was being judged now raised his face. He felt a bit unacceptable and curious at the same time when the Seira case was mentioned.

"What photo, anyway?" Edo began to wonder.

Erina clicked her lips in a fit of anxiety and pulled out her phone from the brown coat she was wearing.

"This. See itself. I didn't know, Do. But we're told seniors because they know you're close to Seira again. Yeah don't care but I'm afraid you're in trouble here." Erina showed me the forbidden photo that had been discussed since.

Edo picked up Erina's phone and brought it closer to her eyes because of her feelings.

"Yes in the face is a bit dim because at the night club. But the picture is obviously that crazy. 80% of the kids believe it was Seira. We are no comment. You either believe it or not." Erina took her phone out of Edo's hand.

Edo was still pensive. Yes, he knows time in the dim. The girl who was crazy in the photo was Seira.

"He's drunk, Do. Often said the children. Even fitting into campus was not too aware. Rather he is. I don't know what's wrong with his family, but he's beyond his reasoning. Now if he's with you again, we don't know what you're doing. Honestly, Do. We're just worried about you. Not to interfere. Seira's..."

"He never took me to places like that. We're just at his house..."

Edo stopped his own words when he saw Beni's eye glint. Beni wanted to continue. "Why is he at home?"

"Sorrys. Gini maybe you guys misunderstood about this former lipstick. But trust me, we are not only... Aghhh! Seira helps me a lot. About college, assignments. And papa Seira is the architect. I like talking to him at home. The kind of company that you show me, I don't even know. Don't fret. Seira is good, really. You just misunderstood."

And all was silent with Edo's last sentence. "Seira's good. You just misunderstood."

"okay." Erina answered softly then resumed eating awkwardly, as did the others.

Edo was wrong with his own behavior.

Was it wrong to defend Seira? Seira who he knew so well turned out to have a past like that?

But doesn't everyone have then bad? Edo unknowingly attempts to build his own wall of trust for Seira.

"Sorry, I ruined the mood, yeah." Edo finally spoke after all silence.

No one's saying. Including Erina who was chatty reassured him.

Edo placed the chopsticks in a rather rough motion on the plate. Everyone immediately looked.
