My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
Crying Without a Voice

Being in an elevator with Leo is not really Syera's desire. Although Fandy was there with him, it did not reduce the nervousness and fear of Leo.

Slowly Fandy grabbed and clasped Syera's hand. Finally Fandy knew the reason Syera had become nervous and scared since then. He was sure that Leo had said something really bad to the girl.

Syera turned to Fandy, seeing him smiling without taking their hands off. Although difficult but Syera tried to return Fandy's smile, as if giving a message if she was okay.

"Have you always been like this?" smiling sinisterly, Fandy clasped Syera's hand tightly. "People who don't know you will think that you are lovers. Are you planning to make bad rumors about the Suntama family?"

"Sister Leo!"

Fandy turned his face to Leo. He has already clenched his hand and will throw it into the mouth of Leo who speaks as he pleases. Patience all this time has its limits. Even though only as an adopted child, of course, Leo has no right to talk about Fandy and the people around him, especially this time also brought Syera.

"Why, what did I say wrong?" furing emotions Fandy.

Fortunately Syera held Fandy by squeezing Fandy's hand that had been holding his hand. Syera shook her head asking that Fandy not be provoked by emotions.

The elevator doors open as the inside of the elevator heats up. Bima came out first followed by Leo who walked from between Syera and Fandy.

"Aw!" Syera staggered and fell because Leo hit her shoulder so strongly that her hand grip with Fandy slipped.

"Sandals are better suited to your feet. Don't you feel sorry for the shoes you wear? Such fancy shoes don't fit well on your feet" Leo left them both.

The anger that had been buried seemed to be no longer able to contain Fandy. He helped Syera stand up and get out of the elevator.

"Don't go anywhere and wait for me here, okay?" message Fandy leave Syera after getting in the car.

"Where is Fandy going?" worried Fandy did something bad.

"It won't be long." Fandy smilingly rubbed Syera's head.

BUGS...

BUGS...

BUGS...

Bima could only watch the scene before her eyes without daring to interfere. Before the fight between Leo and Fandy, Bima had divorced both of them but Leo asked him to let them both.

Fandy left Shera in the car and immediately searched for Leo. When Fandy saw Leo was about to get into his car, he pulled his hand and without saying anything punched him in the face. Because Leo is not ready to fall down after getting a blow from Fandy.

Not wanting to lose and without saying anything Leo stood up and returned Fandy's punch. The dispute between the two then stopped when Bima sounded the horn so strong.

Both were shocked plus the light of the car lights that Bima deliberately turned on. The opportunity was not wasted Leo who then hit Fandy and pushed him to the front of one of the cars that also parked there. Fandy endured the pain because something hit his waist.

"Let's go!" Leo said to Bima leaving Fandy holding his sore waist.

From inside the car Leo can see the whereabouts of Shera. He was sure that the girl was waiting for Fandy there.

"You're going to pay for all this" said Leo, holding the corner of his lips where there was a slight patch of blood there due to Fandy's powerful punch.

Slowly Fandy walked while tidying up his appearance so as not to make Syera suspicious or even worried. He commented on the smile when he approached his car and tried to withstand the pain in the waist due to being hit earlier.

"We go home" Fandy said without looking at Syera after getting into the car.

"Sister Fandy, that's brother's face why bruises?" looking at Fandy's entire face.

"So accidentally slipped and fell."

Soon Fandy drove his car. His sick waist had to try to hold him. But it is too stupid for Syera not to catch that. Syera knew that Fandy was holding back the pain through Fandy's facial features that shriveled at the forehead and temples while enduring the pain felt.

Fandy continued to drive his car even a little increase in speed. Syera held Fandy by the hand as the man was about to get out to open the car door for her.

"I'm sorry for worrying you. Now you go in there."

As Syera got out of the car, she waved her hand before entering the house.

"I'm also not a fool you can lie to easily. After this you will cry in your room by shutting your mouth so that no one will hear it" muttered Fandy, replying to Sherah's hand.

"Wait a minute. You don't have to go back to this house and cry alone in your room."

In his room Syera spilled all that made his chest tight and sore. She cried hard on her little bed. The thin blanket that had been for years accompanying her sleep became a friend as she cried.

Take it easy, no one will be disturbed or hear the cries of Syera. The girl had gotten used to holding everything herself back since being in the Suntama family home.

As loud as he cried, he covered his mouth with both palms.

In front of the bathroom mirror Leo looked at his face that was hit by Fandy. He smiled and laughed even considering the incident. He returned to the room and grabbed his cell phone from his pants pocket.

He grinned at each photo in his cell phone gallery and then made a call with someone.

"Yes, sir." Sapa Bima from across the phone.

"Follow him when he goes to that place again and don't forget to take his picture."

"Good, sir."

The call was immediately switched off by Leo. He laughed again and

PTAKKS...

The scratch on Leo's neck was clearly holding back anger after slamming his phone against the wall.

..........

The days of the Syrians went on as usual. Everything went well, nothing or anything strange or bad happened during these almost two weeks. I never met Leo again. He hopes everything will be fine until the next day.

As usual Syera woke up early and helped Aunt Retno before going to campus and work after her lecture hours were finished.

"Make it Fandy?"

"Yes, bi. Can you?"

"Yes, that's why Fandy is the son of Bayu and Mila's mother."

Syera put food into the provisions for him to give to Fandy when going to the campus. Fandy has been so kind to her and thinks he is like her own brother.

After preparing Syera slid into the apartment where Fandy lived. Syera waited for the elevator to the top floor open with carrying the supply box she prepared for Fandy.

The elevator to the upper floor opened along with the elevator next to it that led to the lower floor.

Without Syera knowing someone caught his existence before he entered the elevator, even the supply box in his hand did not escape the attention of the person.

Syera gets into the elevator while Leo gets out of the elevator. Leo was tidy and ready to leave for the office.

"Have you done what I asked?" leo asked Bima who was waiting for him in the car.

"Already, sir. As you asked, I did. Just isn't it too much to do that?"

"Just do what I ask."

"Good, sir. Sorry if I interfered."
