Just Love Figurant
Chapter 34
A visit this morning was made for Lusi. The man who had married her was still struggling in the kitchen to make breakfast, when Lusi was still drifting in a dream. Not only the noise in the kitchen area is disturbing, but also the sound of a bell in front of the apartment, not also able to make the woman awake immediately.
The woman's body felt pain all over her body, although last night she did not do much activity. Maybe too tired, or too tormented inner, to make Lusi reluctant to wake up because his body feels heavy.
Marcel's mother and father visited, to see their beloved daughter-in-law. Whether because the mind slowly begins to bond, or indeed by sheer coincidence, Inora, Marcel's mother suddenly longed to visit her son and daughter-in-law.
"Mother, Dad?" greet Marcel later, when he saw his parents at the door, "why come not tell first?"
"Intentionally, we wanted to surprise you. Where's your wife?" inora asked with a soft maternal smile.
"He's still asleep, probably still exhausted" replied Marcel.
"What are you guys finished with?" ledek Dion, the father with a witty face.
"Emmm, no," replied Marcel clumsily. There was no tiring bed activity last night, as Marcel has not touched Luci in recent weeks.
Inora and Dion then sat in the living room neatly arranged. Not to forget, Inora put the food that she brought from home, containing a healthy diet for her son and daughter-in-law.
"Let me wake up Lusi first, Mom. Then the food you brought, let Marcel take it to the kitchen. Marcel cooked it up, for breakfast," Marcel said.
"Oh my God, my son, you really spoil your wife. Thank you, son, you've taken good care of your wife" Nora said.
"But I thought you didn't have to wake Susi. Let him rest well" Dion felt uneasy for what reason.
Like there was something that made Dion doubt. Although Dion is not Marcel's biological father, the man is most sensitive to how Marcel feels. Understandably, since Marcel was small, even Inora was not that close to Marcel, even Dion was much closer to Marcel.
"Alright, later let Mother who sing the food of Mother's daughter-in-law," said Inora later.
Marcel did not have time to answer, the man's phone vibrated, a sign of a call coming in for him. Renata's name is listed, with Marcel's heartbeats overdue.
If Inora and Dion knew about Renata, Marcel would have been beaten up by the mother who gave birth to him.
"Mom, I'll pick up the phone for a bit" said Marcel who hurriedly headed to the room, and ran towards the balcony.
"What's up, Ren?" ask Marcel then.
"I want to see you right now, Marcel. Let's meet, come to my apartment, there's something I want to tell you."
Renata.
"What now?" ask Marcel again.
"You busy? If it's busy, it's okay I'll wait for you until you can come."
Answer Renata.
"My mom and dad came to visit. I can't make a quick appointment, 'cause they want breakfast here with Lusi and me. What if it's an hour or two ahead?" bargain Marcel.
"Well, I'll wait for you."
A one-sided closed call, Marcel turned around and walked into the room, looking at the sleeping Lusi with a wistful look. There are a lot of things Marcel would love to say, especially apologies. But unfortunately, Marcel is not able to for now.

With wide strides and thronged, Marcel walked down the hallway to his apartment. The man was wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts, black hat and black mask.
Middle-heart blindness Marcel is natural at the moment.
A unit opened its doors, revealing a wailing Renata staring left and right, observing the surroundings. Lucky the situation is quiet.
"Marcel, you came alone, didn't you?" asked Renata after closing the door.
"You want me to come with Lusi?" marcel asked raising his eyebrows. The man was suddenly sensitive since his scandal with Renata, quickly smelled by his sister, Hestia.
"That's not it, you're this," Renata replied with a pursed lip of annoyance.
"What's up, Renata? What do you want to talk to me about?" marcel asked later, and sat his body on the sofa.
Luci approached Marcel, giving Marcel a bottle of mineral water. That's how, Renata even knows Marcel's habits.
"I was waiting for you at the cafe and you didn't come. That's not what I'm worried about, Marcel, but there's someone who comes and intimidates me" Renata later said.
"Who?" only Marcel opened the bottle and gulped down Renata's mineral water.
"Hestia Atmadja, your Papa's daughter," Renata replied later.
Marcel was choking, and his throat was suddenly deadlocked even just to swallow water.it was surprising, but this was the reality.
"Host? Really true?" ask Marcel then. The man's eyes widened, clearly shocked by the news Renata delivered until he choked
"He already knows our scandal, Marcel. What do we do?" ask Renata later.
"Lantas, what else did he tell you?" ask Marcel. Really, if Hesti had dared to take a step so far, that meant that it was indeed the girl monitoring him.
"He asked me to stay away from you and end our relationship" Renata replied quietly.
"Damn it, the boy!" paraphrased Marcel with an unsettled heart, "just watch if he dares to go any further."
"I'm afraid he's open his mouth and your extended family knows, Marcel. I, I can't actually, betrayed Lusi this far, but I also love you very much" Renata said with a sad look.
"I love you too, Renata," Marcel said, taking Renata in his arms.
They just don't realize yet that the effects of their love can destroy everything.
