My Idiot Girlfriend is a MAFIA
EPS. 24. Trying to rise.

Qilin entered the house, and what happened was that his heart again felt tight. Usually every time he comes home, Justin will run to greet him and hug him.

The house was empty and it felt cold. No more Justin's laughter, his silliness and all his behavior.

" What are you doing Justin." Qilin Mumbled.

Qilin sighed trying not to cry, it was the second time he was in residence by the person he cared about. First he was abandoned by his adoptive father, and now Justin.

Qilin sat on the sofa and looked up, he saw the sky of his house.

" You can Qilin, didn't you when papa died too you can get up and be fine? Justin and you are two very different people, your world is not the same." Qilin Mumbled.

" You just have to get used to being without Justin, and get back to living alone like you used to." Mumbled Qilin again.

But what he said was nothing like what he felt, his heart was tight. Unlike when he lost his foster father, this time there was a strange and as if even more suffocating feeling.

Qilin woke up and went upstairs, to Justin's room. He touched on the book he was going to read with Justin, now the book will only be a closet display.

Qilin rolled up her sleeves, and tied her hair originally, then she started to fix Justin's room. Qilin arranged all of Justin's books, and put them on the shelf, and continued cleaning the others.

Qilin finally came back crying, when he was about to fold justin's blanket. Qilin hugged the blanket while crying, tired, Qilin threw herself into Justin's bed, and fell asleep.

To esokan day..

Qilin woke up when he heard the sound of the rain being so swift. Morning, Jakarta in the big rain and driving.

" JDERS!!"

" Yes!!!!" Qilin shouted and hid himself.

One that no one ever knew, even Justin.. Qilin was afraid of lightning. Justin did not know because for one month Justin stayed with the Qilin, never rained.

" Hix.. Hix.. Hicks.." Crying Qilin.

Whenever there was a rain of lightning, the Qilin would hide itself under the blanket while crying.

Qilin was afraid of lightning, because when he was a child he was left outside the house by his adoptive mother. At that time Qilin was 4 years old, and he was left on the porch alone because his adoptive mother's biological children were crying.

Gigi tells her mother that Qilin pinched her, Qilin's adoptive mother instantly got angry and dragged Qilin out of the house in the middle of the night as the heavy rain drove, then locked her outside.

At that time, Qilin was afraid of the driving rain, nor did she ever dare to do anything that offended Gigi and her mother.

Qilin touched Justin's necklace around his neck, then closed his eyes to expel his fear.

Until finally the rain subsided, the new Qilin dared to open the blanket. Qilin got up and went down while carrying Justin's blanket.

" Reda, please." Qilin Mumbled.

At the cafe, Rena is serving customers, there is also Fendy there who always stands behind the coffee machine as a barista.

" I'll visit Qilin." Rena said to Fendy while breaking the table.

" I'm coming with you." Fendy.

" ck! You can't be a little braver, what? You like Qilin, don't you?" Rena says.

" I like him too not necessarily he likes me, right?? I don't want to force a relationship, I'll approach it slowly." Fendy.

" Fen, listen to me, Qilin likes you." Rena says.

Fendy choked on her own saliva and heard what Rena said.

" Don't talk carelessly, Ren.." Fendy.

" You don't believe it? I asked her once, whether she likes you or not, and she smiled at me." Rena says.

Somehow Fendy's face became red at this time, Rena who saw him laughed.

" Look, not yet what your face is so red. Be quick to act, women don't like to act first, it must be men who act first." Rena says.

" Ck, go.." Fendy.

" You said you wanted to come too." Rena says.

" It's not so." Said Fendy, and Rena was grinning.

" ck! Ck! Just this time I saw an old tree like you get embarrassed." Rena says.

" I'm going, bye.." Shouted Rena and ran out.

Fendy really could not help his smile, he throttled many times to neutralize his feelings.

' Qilin likes me?' Inner Fendy.

Meanwhile, Rena knocked on the fence of the Qilin house many times, then Qilin came out from inside.

" Qilin, I'm visiting you." Rena says.

" Mrs.." Qilin smiled.

Qilin opened the fence of his house and invited Rena in. Rena also embraced Qilin, as a sign of encouragement.

" Have you eaten?" Ask Rena.

" Not yet, it was raining so I didn't have time to buy it." Qilin.

" Now, incidentally, this is me bringing food for you, eat it." Rena says.

" Thank you, sorry to bother you." Qilin.

" I'll take it, where I may bother, eat it." Rena said, and Qilin nodded.

Rena saw that look at her old house, it seems that Qilin is a neat person, because the house looks very neat, different from when she and her mother were occupying, first.

" I'm hitching the bathroom." Said Ren and Qilin nodding.

Rena went in and urinated, after finishing and was about to wash her hands, Rena realized that there were two glasses with two toothbrushes.

' Qilin has two toothbrushes?' Inner Rena. Rena saw the towel hanger, and there was a towel with two different colors, Rena closed her mouth.

Rena came out, and looking at the Qilin that was eating, Rena sat down with Qilin again.

" Qilin, who are you staying with?" Rena asked, and it distracted Qilin.

" I live alone." Qilin.

Rena was staring at Qilin, even though in the bathroom there were clearly two towels and two toothbrushes of different colors. But Rena did not dare to ask any further, she respected the privacy of Qilin.

' Maybe he has a brother who is here.' Rena's mind tries to think positively.

" Rena, when did you marry her? You said you wanted to get married?" Qilin asked after finishing his meal.

" Oh, mmm. My husband-to-be has not been granted leave from the company, so I'm waiting for him to get his leave." Said Rena, and Qilin nodded his head in a nod.

" Rena, thanks for the food." Said Qilin, and Rena chuckled.

" We're friends, aren't we?? You always hang out with your own friends." Rena says.

" To be honest I've never had friends, you're the second person who thinks I'm a friend." Qilin.

" second? Gee.. I'm a little disappointed to hear that." Said Rena with a sad tone made.

" Who's first?" Rena and Qilin became silent.

" Ekhem! don't tell me it's Fendy." Rena said, and Qilin smiled. Qilin couldn't possibly say that Justin was the second person to consider him a friend, brother, and his own.

" Ah, no fun.." Said Rena, and Qilin chuckled.

" Well, you're beautiful when you smile." Rena says.

" You're not working?" Qilin asked, and immediately Rena patted her forehead.

"My God, I forgot. Bye Qilin, tomorrow I will come again." Rena immediately ran out.

Qilin shook his head looking at Rena's ridiculous action. Qilin got up and went into the bathroom, and she saw Justin's toothbrush that was still in the sink.

Qilin was about to take the toothbrush and throw it away, but he undoed his intention. Finally he just let Justin's toothbrush be there.

' You will only be a memory, which I will never see again, Justin..' Inner Qilin then touched the pendulum necklace that wrote Justin's name.
