Rain Teach Me Strong
Take Home

Liora stomps her feet in annoyance, as Marshall rejects her and is unselfish and opts for basketball practice with her friends rather than with her, who in fact is her boyfriend.

Marshall leaves Liora's house and lets Liora sulk because she chooses to go home and doesn't care about Liora's anger. While Liora puffed her lips annoyed to see Marshall leaving without any hugs, as they often do when Marshall was saying goodbye to go home.

"Furniture... Sebel...!" Upset Liora, then Liora entered the house and closed the door.

Marshall came home using an online taxi, while observing the streets and happened to be a taxi that was riding through the hero road. Marshall's gaze was fixed on the figure of a beautiful woman with her nightgown attached to her body and she was Zee. Zee was walking towards the chicken pecel trader.

"Stop, sir," said Marshall, and the taxi stopped.

"Why, mas?" Ask the driver, glancing at Marshall from the rearview mirror.

"I'll just get down here" Marshall said, holding out the money.

"But, Mas. Is the destination still far away?" Say driver again.

"Yes, I know. But I'll just get down here" Marshall concluded, then Marshall opened the car door and got off.

Marshall then approached Zee who was in the chicken pecel tent. Unaware of Zee, Marshall sat down next to her. Zee's view is focused on the phone screen.

"Let's see what?" Kepo Marshall stared at Zee's face from the side.

"Eh! You're here?" Zee was surprised to see Marshall sitting next to him.

"If I'm here, it means I want to eat" Marshall said.

"Mangs! The catfish pecel was one yes," asked Marshall, and the chicken pecel seller nodded.

Zee refocuses on his phone and ignores Marshall beside him.

"Oh yes, if you may know. Where did you go to school before?" Marshall asked because he was confused about what to say, because Zee was silent.

Zee did not answer Marshall's question and simply glanced at him without answering. Marshall sighed, as Zee ignored the question. Is it difficult to ask her questions, so Zee does not want to answer them. Marshall thought, glancing at Zee.

Zee's chicken pecel was ripe and was already in front of him. Zee just ate it, and so did Marshall's catfish pecel. The two of them ate without talking, occasionally Marshall glanced at Zee who was eating his food.

Zee finished the meal first, after which Zee paid and went home immediately. Marshall, who sees Zee going home, stops eating and wants to drive her home, but Marshall pays first.

Marshall walked quickly to the side of Zee who first stepped on his foot. Zee looks astonished at Marshall who is now stepping foot into his boarding alley.

"You want to go home? Why the hell?" Answer Marshall.

"No need, I can go home alone without you," Zee declined.

"But I'm gonna take you home anyway" Marshall said.

"Raptain! you better go home."

"I don't want to go home before I take you home" Marshall said

"As much as you are!" said Zee.

Finally Marshall drove Zee home, all the way to his boarding house, Zee was silent. Marshall was also silent and confused about what to start talking about.

"Still far away from your home?" ask Marshall.

"No" he answered briefly.

Marshall scrunched his forehead when the two had arrived at a boarding house. Marshall stared at Zee, who was unlocking the door of his room.

"You're gnawing?" Ask Marshall.

"Yes," Zee answered briefly.

"Are you alone or with your parents?" Ask Marshall again.

"That's none of your business. Back home!" Get rid of Zee, 'cause Marshall's not leaving in front of his boarding house.

"You threw me out." pointing her index finger at herself.

"Yes, and I'm going to sleep" said Zee, then Zee opened the door . "Where home!" and after that Zee closed the door regardless of Marshall's whereabouts still standing in front of his boarding house.

"It's hard to be friends with him" Marshall grumbled as he looked at Zee's tightly shut boarding door, and Marshall walked away from Zee's boarding house.

Inside Zee peeks at Marshall from behind the window curtains, and Zee sees a disappointed look from Marshall's face. It's not that Zee doesn't want to be friends, but Zee is afraid of events like the old times repeating. Where his friends stay away from him after finding out he's a kid from pimps, and Zee doesn't want it to happen again. Zee tried not to get too close to anyone, for him there were no sincere friends. It was enough for him with this solitude and no longer wanted to be close to anyone, whether it was a woman or a man.
