Marcella looks to be focused on treating the wound on Zack's elbow that is bleeding with the drug that was purchased by Lidya.Of course he feels guilty and indebted and wants to repay the kindness of the figure of the man who has saved his life.
Meanwhile, Zack is now staring intensely at the face of the woman in front of him unblinking and busy with his own thoughts. 'The more you see, Marcella is very sweet and also kind.'
Just as he finished his own argument in his heart, Marcella's voice suddenly made him feel confused to answer.
Without taking her eyes off, Marcella still had not finished treating the wound on Zack's elbow. "You've just been looking for another woman!"
"Huh ...." Zack thought of the answer as he was confused to answer. "Actually ...."
"I've had a boyfriend and we've been in a relationship for over 8 years. So, I won't be interested in you or any other man." Marcella knew that Zack had always liked her and when the man did not blink, he reminded her not to continue with his feelings.
"This is how hard love is. I understand what you're feeling, so say it like this" said Marcella, who had just finished putting a bandage on Zack's elbow. He hoped that after saying that, he could make Zack forget about it. "The profit is not deep, so it does not need to be sewn."
Despite being confused to respond, Zack nodded his head and slightly moved his hand. Although it feels sore and painful, but do not want to show it.
"thank you. These wounds will dry quickly and some days also heal. About my feelings ...." Zack could not continue his words because it was cut by the woman who was cleaning the medicine and cotton that he had used to clean the wound.
"There's no need to talk about it because I don't want to hear it. I can't force you to throw feelings at me, but at least use your wits. I love my girlfriend so much and can't return your feelings, okay!"
Marcella stood up from the sofa and carried the plastic bag containing the medicine inside. "Oh yeah, before you go home, eat the hamburger."
"Aaah .. yes." Zack always felt like he had gotten a checkmate from the woman who had disappeared behind the wall.
'I won't give up as long as you're not married to your boyfriend. Even a marriage can end in divorce. Moreover, only in a relationship for years, ' murmured Zack who is still grateful for finally being able to get closer to Marcella.
Meanwhile, Marcella just went inside. She saw Lidya still talking on the phone with her voice soft, as if she did not want the conversation until she heard it.
"I won't bother you talking to your girlfriend. So, speak calmly here," said Marcella with a faint smile to tease the friend. "Continue, I'm eating with Zack up ahead."
Meanwhile, Lidya who was in confusion covered what she knew, squeezing her clothes as soon as she heard the words that plunged her friend into the abyss of destruction.
After accidentally reading a message from Erland, it happens that his lover called, but he was not in the mood because of pity on his best friend. That's what makes him talk very softly because it's like not having the energy just to talk to the lover.
'Marcella, how will you respond after reading your lover's message? I struggled to cover up my mother's taste, but you instead said you wanted to eat with Zack in this precarious situation, ' Lidya's inner self with her heart beating so fast.
Of course, at this time he was feeling very pity, but the figure of a man who still had not turned off the phone connection even added to his frustration.
"What the hell are you, honey? It was like being lazy to talk to me." The man across the phone was suspicious that another man was in the apartment because he heard Marcella's voice say a man's name.
"Do you want to trick me by saying you're just two there. Who was Zack just told by Marcella? Quickly tell me, before I jump right into it!"
Of course Lidya is now massaging her temple because it is really very dizzy. With his hands away from his ears, he got up from his position and walked to the bathroom wanting to explain everything in order to avoid any misunderstandings. As soon as the door was closed, he started making noises by telling him about the message he had read.
"Actually, Marcella almost got hit by a car for saving a teenager and luckily there was a fellow lecturer who immediately pushed to the side of the road to hurt his elbow. Therefore, he now expressed his gratitude by treating the man. That's it."
Actually he really wanted to curse the lover, but did not want the relationship to get worse just because of a misunderstanding. "I really feel sorry for Marcella."
It was quiet for a while, as there was no sound from across the phone. However, moments later, a baritone voice came from across the phone.
"Listen to me, baby!"
"Yes," replied Lidya who was currently seriously listening.
"Make your best friend busy after reading a message from her lover. Be the friend who is always there for her. Whatever Marcella does, you have to support her. Including the man who is currently there, it might just be an impingement."
When Lidya wanted to answer, the phone call had been cut off and made her feel very frustrated. "Why did he die?"
"If you knew this, I wouldn't have taken Marcella's phone because the first gamon was me. Geez, why do I have to know Marcella and Erland's complicated romance?"
By opening the bathroom door, he walked over to his best friend.
He racked his brain in search of ideas so that his best friend would not drag on in grief today. However, the baritone voice of a male figure who was none other than Zack made him smile smirk.
At first Marcella was enjoying a hamburger with Zack while talking. He was curious about what the man had done before when he was not teaching today. "Where did you actually go?"
For a while, Zack continued to chew food. Because he felt hungry after driving his energy when changing a leaking car tire.
"What else is it? I wanted to go to my best friend's apartment, but instead the car tires leaked." Back to biting the hamburger.
"Where is the apartment? Near here or far away? You better just go home and rest because you're still hurt." Marcella now holds out drinking water for Zack who is like a struggle to swallow.
"Slowly eat. I won't ask for it because it has its own," he sneered with a laugh.
However, the headband of the man who continued his eating after drinking, making him instead chuckle because of Zack's cute face when chewing food like a child.
"I don't want stress at home. Hence out. I told you this was just a small cut, so it's okay." Zack now moved his elbow to show no pain.
"Believe, right? You are like a lover who is very worried about his partner," he said, who briefly stared at Marcella's facial expression as soon as he heard her words. However, the crisp sound of laughter from the figure of the woman who looked so beautiful, further fascinated him.
"Recycle your food and go home soon! I'm sorry, if I throw you out for not wanting you to think that way again." His appetite was suddenly destroyed when he remembered the words of Zack, so that now he did not finish his food.
Meanwhile, Zack who felt a little disappointed because he had been expelled from there, but still wanted to talk to the woman who made him crazy. That's why he was looking for a way to linger there and silly sentences escaped his lips.
"Is there an empty apartment? I'm looking for a place to live for my best friend. He said his apartment was being renovated by the owner. At the very least, it took several months until it was renovated." He wants to work with his best friend if there will be an empty apartment next to Marcella.
Hoping to come there often in order to stop by the woman's apartment because she will not give up on getting Marcella.
When Marcella intended to answer, the voice of her best friend did not make her give an answer and only listened to the figure of the woman who had just come out of the room.
"There was. I'll ask the owner later because it happens to have his number. If it's still empty, your friend can stay there for a while." Lidya turned to look at Marcella who was just silent without saying a word.
"How do you think? You don't mind, do you?" He already knew where Zack was heading, who obviously wanted to be close to Marcella, so he hoped that they could get closer because of the anger at Erland who cut off communication.
Though the only hope of a long distance relationship is communication and he knows if his best friend will be hit after reading Erland's message later.
At first Marcella just sniffed her shoulders, but out of pity for Zack's friend, finally let out a voice, "Call right now and ask Mrs Weasley. We've been comfortable living here for many years, surely his friend will also feel at home because there's never a problem here."
Lidya reflex instantly raised her thumb. Of course he tried very hard so that Zack's friends could really stay there. "alright. I'll call you first."
Meanwhile, Zack who felt there was an opportunity, did not stay silent. Because he wants to be close to the figure of a woman who he thinks has its own charm and makes him feel curious about all the things that are in Marcella.
He is indeed a man who likes to change partners because he gets bored quickly. However, his feelings of joy for Marcella never subsided and grew bigger.
'I will not waste this golden opportunity. By coming here often and reasoned to stay at a friend's place, even though I am the one who lives, ' he murmured who is now waiting to get good news from Lidya.
Marcella looked at Lidya who seemed to be calling the owner of the apartment. Until he can guess everything when he hears the words of his best friend.
"It is still empty and can be occupied immediately if you want," said Lidya who just turned off the phone after talking to the apartment owner.
The look on Zack's face instantly turned sparkling as his path to approach Marcella gained a bright spot. "Then I went to my friend's place to tell him."
"Didn't you feel indebted to him? So, just assume you return his kindness. Looks like he really needs a ride. You can help him by delivering to his friend's place," said Lidya who now patted Marcella's shoulder.
At this time Marcella just smiled wryly because it was like being charged at a return of gratitude. He was even very lazy to be alone with Zack.
Unlike Zack who did not want to trouble Marcella. "no need. I can take a taxi.
"God! Pity you for taking a taxi." Lidya could not continue her words because it was cut by Marcella.
Not wanting the lie to become more rampant and disrupt his life, Marcella immediately stood up from her place and made up her mind.
"You better deliver it! I'm really so dizzy. I'm so tired today." Directed a sharp gaze to Lidya because she wanted to teach a lesson so as not to try to get closer to Zack.
Though already know if he has a relationship with Erland, so today very upset and feel strange to his best friend.
He walked inside and headed to a private room. Then closed the door of the room without caring for the two people who were currently staring at him with a gaze full of questions.
Lidya knows if her best friend is upset with her, but is very sure that soon she will need her shoulder to lean on when crying.
'Forgive me, Cella for today being weird and making you angry. You will realize if I do all this for your own good so as not to feel lonely when I cannot communicate with Erland.'
Lidya's daydreams instantly froze upon hearing the baritone voice of the man next to her.
"I'll go home by myself in a taxi. So, no need to drive me. Your attitude was so exaggerated, that it upset him. Now persuade him not to be angry with you because I don't want to make your relationship bad" said Zack who is now relieved to finally get himself close to Marcella.
Lidya is currently taking her business card and giving it to Zack. "Later call my number if your friend is ready to move. Let me tell the owner later. Marcella won't be angry for long because I know her very well, so there's no need to worry."
Zack, who immediately put the business card in his pants pocket, now walked to the exit and was escorted by the woman who made him feel very strange.
Especially knowing if the woman was like trying to make it close to Marcella. Though knowing if his best friend has a lover and it was dancing in his brain, but did not find a definite answer.
"Accept for everything. I'm leaving." Zack waved his hand and walked towards the elevator that led him into the lobby.
When the door of the iron box in front of him closed, he re-thought what was in the brain of Marcella's friend. "What does it mean to try to get me closer to Marcella? Does he not like the lover of his best friend?"
"Why indeed? Aaah .. I feel like I would like to ask the woman directly to find an answer, but if the rush will instead make her ilfil me. Slowly but surely. This is what I have to apply now." Zack felt like a man in ancient times for not bringing a cell phone to contact his best friend.
Finally had to come to his best friend's apartment to ask for help so that he could be close to the woman he had long liked.
"So, like this live without a cell phone. I'm even like a primitive person because I can't contact my best friend and have to take the trouble to get to him." He walked out after the elevator door opened and waited for a taxi in front of the apartment.
Sometimes he smiled because he had imagined he would often meet with Marcella in the office and also in the apartment. "I'll soon be able to get you, Marcella."
