'Don't find out about me again, we broke up!
Lala.'s.'
A message sent by a foreign number just now, which turned out to be from Laurent. Initially, Channing did not want to believe it, but the name 'Lala' not many know, especially about their breakup. So, you can be sure it is Laurent, who may use a new number or just borrow it to someone else.
'What's the problem actually? I'm sure there's something you're hiding.'
A message Channing wrote. But, baby, just tick one. When I tried to get on the phone, it was inactive. Apparently, the number just now is special to send messages only, without being used to wait for a reply.
Realizing that, Channing got up and was again pensive. Of the many things that happened, slowly there was an annoyance that infiltrated between the barriers of longing that was so hot. Laurent's departure, which holds a big question mark, tarnishes his self-esteem as a man.
If there is a thorny matter, wouldn't it be better to discuss it with him? If you choose to go and stay away from him, isn't it the same as doubting his ability? If there was no longer any trust to depend on him, then what was he still hoping for the girl for? The nature of men taking care of women. But if the woman is unsure and prefers another place, where will the relationship go? Isn't it just a bland, meaningless story?
"It's not me who doesn't want to try, Lala, but you're the one who forced me to put an end to all this. If you really love me, you should trust me, not even this. Now, I don't care anymore. Fuck your real reason. We broke up. Even if you come back later .. everything will not be the same as before," Channing said while deleting the message that Laurent sent just now.
Channing then throws her phone into bed. The rough village came out of his lips. Upset, furious, and somehow feeling what else his name is. It was all so raging and made him uncomfortable.
In the midst of that uncertain feeling, tucked a question in Channing's mind. Who knows where Laurent is? The new guy who bought Jose's house or Laurent's best friend? Or is it... Is there anyone else involved in it?
Ahh, I don't know! The more I think, the more confusing everything becomes.
Not wanting to continue to dissolve in his mind in an uncertain direction, Channing rushed towards the bathroom and soaked for quite a long time there. It takes a little quiet to relax the mind.

That night, Channing did not eat together downstairs. He prefers to eat his dinner with Binar— in the lounge, in front of their room. Both because Axel prefers to go down. He said, all ready to watch the concert.
"Eat a lot, the abis take medicine. Let it heal quickly and can go to college again" Channing said on the sidelines of his feed. He said so because since then Binar did not intend to eat his food.
"Aren't you busy?" Binar's answer is actually a question that is far from the initial topic.
"Yes, sorry, yeah."
He smiled, "It's okay."
"Because I was busy, my phone was silent. So do not know if you are the phone," said Channing, throwing lies to reduce the disappointment of Binar.
"Yes, it's okay."
"By the way, how did you get Evan?" ask Channing. He also wondered why Evan had until there was a gap to get close to Binar.
"I also don't know, suddenly Kak Evan passed by the time I was waiting for a taxi. Instead of waiting and do not know until when, where the head is already dizzy, so yes already, I just want to take her."
"He didn't say anything, did he?" ask Channing again.
Binar shook his head, "Nothing. What's the big one, anyway?"
"Yes ..times it's weird."
"Sir Channing is that sewot? Hayo ... jealous huh?" goda Binar with a big smile.
But unfortunately, Channing did not respond well to that. He took a deep breath and stared fixedly at Binar.
"I'm serious, Bin. Evan's a playboy, I just don't want him to take you and hurt you. Although he's my friend, but I don't want to get hurt because of him."
"If he wasn't a playboy, would he have approached me?" The question was a little trap, making Channing confused in choosing the right answer.
"Bin, eat first. Later the cold hunt is not good even," said Channing. Instead of answering wrong, he preferred to throw another sentence.
However, it became ambiguous for Binar. Channing has refused. Now, even shift the topic. Binar thought, maybe the seeds of love are now starting to grow in Channing's heart. It was just that it was still faint, so the man had yet to realize it properly.
"I can't wait until then, brother. Now that your boyfriend is gone, hopefully .. your heart is slowly opening for me. I sincerely love you, Brother," Inner Binar while bribing her food. That was tasteless, suddenly so good on the tongue. Apparently, love can also be a flavoring.
Soon, the two had finished all the food. Binar had taken medicine and was ready to rest in his room.
"So, how'd you hear about Laurent?"
His statement was quite normal. However, it feels awkward for Channing, because this afternoon he had received a message from Laurent. As if it was a coincidence.
"Do you have time? We're meeting yuk!" Without further ado, Channing immediately expressed her intentions. Although not expecting Laurent again, but he still wants to know, who would know the whereabouts of Laurent and deliberately lie to him.
"But it can't be long, it's quite malemic because" said Nesya from across there.
"Just a minute."
"All right."
After agreeing on a place to meet, Channing terminated the phone call. Then, get ready for a while and then go to the cafe which is quite far from his house.
About a half-hour drive away, Channing arrived at the cafe. Apparently, Nesya was already waiting there. Understandably, the distance of his house is indeed quite close to that place.
"What made you invite me to see you?" asked Nesya after ordering a drink.
"Do you know where Laurent is now?"
Channing's question made Nesya frown. He was shocked by the accusations.
"If I knew Laurent now, I wouldn't have called and asked you, sister," he said.
"Can it be a charade? Sorry if I suddenly accused you of gini, but I have an accurate reason. Last night he sent me a message with a new number. He forbade me from finding out about him again. And after that, the number was off, I couldn't reply to the message. Logically, he could not have sent a message like that if no one spoke. And so far, only you and the new guy who lives in Om Jose's house knows that I'm trying to find Lala."
Hearing Channing's long reply, Nesya was a bit too drunk. He doesn't know where Laurent is. However, the statement just now completely cornered him.
"The new person is someone else, there's very little chance of interfering with my affairs with Lala" Channing continued.
Nesya was still silent, not knowing what to say.
"I wouldn't expect him anymore. They broke up, yes. Until whenever it will break up. But .. I just want to know who lied to me. All I want to say, if here I have sincerely released Lala. In the future there will be no name for him in my life."
Nesya increasingly can not dwell. He could only shake, as a form of denial of what Channing said.
"I___"
"Sister, I really don't know where Laurent is. I swear by anything, I really don't know anything" Nesya said. He could no longer hear the accusations.
Now change Channing who is silent. He looked at the look on Nesya's face and looked for a glimmer of lies there. Unfortunately, there is no.
"Back from here I dare to woe if what I say is a lie," continued Nesya.
Inevitably, Channing began to believe in the girl, because there were no signs of lying.
"Is it really just me and the new guy who knows? No one near you knows, brother?" After seeing Channing silent for a long time, Nesya ventured to ask.
"You mean?"
"Maybe there's someone close to you who knows this, because I really don't know anything."
Nesya's answer made Channing think hard. Other than Nesya and the new guy, only Digo knows. However, there is no way he is lying, because previously he was the one who told about Laurent's move.
At a time when the mind was almost dead-end, Channing was reminded of her closest person—Binar. The girl once followed him and saw firsthand when she broke up with Laurent. It's possible he's also following again and knows he's still trying to find Laurent.
"But, since when does Binar have Laurent's number?" inner Channing. His mind began to worry. Many questions that at one time arise and are broken by other statements.
Could Binar be involved in Laurent's departure?
Seriate...
