"Oh sir, I didn't order anything." Adel said when he saw some food in front of him.
"Eating is still a protest!" The Emperor answered, who had eaten first.
It seems Adel was not appetite at that time, seen from the way he chewed food that tends not to be excited.
Adel complained of pain when a tablespoon slightly hit the wound on the edge of his lips, "Oh!" This made the Emperor look at him.
"Why?" The Emperor asked a little worriedly.
"It's okay sir, this was a spoon nudge, so it's kind of sore." Answer Adel.
The Emperor nodded slowly, "By the way why did you have such a wound?" Ask Emperor.
Hearing the Emperor's sudden question made Adel instantly choke on his own food.
"Have a drink first." Said the Emperor who had offered Adel a drink.
After improving Adel then answered the previous Emperor's question, "This is yesterday I again ate, continued accidentally bitten and wound gini sir." Adel was lying.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes as if knowing the lie Adel made, "Lo lied right? Next time you find a reasonable excuse, which might be the one to bite in that part, ngaco you!"
"It's up to you if you don't believe me, anyway why am I lying." Adel's annoying nature starts to come out after all this time.
"That's a slap wound." The Emperor's words shocked Adel even to the point of not being able to continue eating.
"Seeing your expression, it seems like my guess is correct." Continue Emperor.
Adel pretended to laugh in order to cover up his lie, "Hahaha you psychic huh? You know so well."
"Who's the slap? Bokap lo?" The Emperor was completely unaffected by Adel's attempts to lie in front of him.
"No one slapped sir, I'd say it was a bite."
"Do I report you for violence?" The Emperor's words stopped Adel from lying and became a crime.
"Don't!" Adel becomes nervous for fear that the Emperor will actually do what he says, especially until now Adel still thinks that the Emperor is the son of police officials, what the Emperor said a while ago in the restaurant while helping him.
The Emperor smiled sinisterly before saying, "It seems like you have to learn to lie again. Just got kicked out of fear."
"I mean father?" Ask Adel confused.
Adel seemed like he wanted to tell something but he looked worried, seeing that the Emperor tried to calm him down, "Yesterday I've told you about the time in the rooftop? If you need a story buddy, you can tell me. Don't keep it all alone, or you'll feel what it's called numbness."
It is true, after telling the Emperor, Adel's feelings became very relieved as if the burden on his shoulders was slightly reduced. Because all this time, the girl had never had a friend she trusted to share her story with.
"I got caught working in a restaurant." Adel said after being quiet for a long time.
"Can't you?" Ask Emperor.
"When I got angry yesterday with the man, it turned out that in the restaurant there was a papa secretary who saw, then recorded it and he sent it to papa." Adel averted his gaze and exhaled a long breath, "And it ended I was scolded all out and slapped until a wound like this." Further.
The Emperor shook his head in disbelief, "Well you get all that? And you don't want to fight that?"
"Talk wrong, be quiet. Even in that house I had to breathe carefully so that no one else would know of my whereabouts."
The emperor clenched his hands on the table, "Suck! What kind of a man is he?!" The Emperor really could not see the violence in front of him, much less the violence against women.
"Lo don't want to report to you, do you? He's gone too far." Continue Emperor.
Adel lowered his head deeply and shook his head slowly, "Papa is quite influential, I don't want to smear his name if I report papa."
"Why? At least if you report in bokap lo, it can make you free from the violence he made." The Emperor tried to persuade Adel.
"Because I love papa." Adel's answer left the Emperor inexhaustible. How could such a cruel man still get the affection of the child he tormented.
"Lo is crazy, huh?! You still love the same people who torture you for trivial reasons?"
"I can't make them happy, maybe if I keep quiet and nothing happens, it can make you realize that I love him so much. And more importantly can make your heart melt and want to give his affection for me." Adel smiled as he said that, there was a hint of hope emanating in his eyes.
The Emperor was silent for quite a while after hearing Adel's words, he became reminded of his treatment of Rendra lately. His heart was slightly slapped, how could a girl who had been treated improperly still love the person who tortured him so much. While the Emperor who clearly knew the state of Rendra who was sick of the fault of the young man himself, did not care and even ignored him, even though the Emperor knew, but he knew, Rendra only lives alone in this city.
"Why sir, why is he suddenly silent?" Adel's question broke the Emperor's reverie.
The Emperor smiled wryly and said, "Gue doesn't know what to say, what your heart is made of until you are willing to be a puppet to get your own love."
"Although I was desperate, I thought again that it was a big mistake I had made. And I'll start again from the beginning and it'll last as long as I can." The girl showed off a spirited smile that amazed the Emperor.
"Hold on, and look for me if you need anything." Emperor Saying.
"Thank you sir."
