Paul began to take his friend's problems seriously. "Sorry." He immediately apologized.
Jake is not a person who likes to waste time with useless things. His life is so crowded, his work is also very time consuming. Even he had no time to think about himself. He was a highly committed man who held fast to the principles of his life.
"I need a friend to exchange ideas. But there's no one to trust. What do they say when they know my story. They will surely mock me. And I don't want that to happen." Jake at length exposes.
Paul nodded. "good. Now I'll listen to your story. Tell me about the problems you're having. You can trust me." Paul promised.
Jake smokes his cigarette. "Name Lilia..."
Jake begins to tell a story about a woman who is disturbing his mind. It was none other than Lilia Hana. The woman who had lately haunted him with a deep longing.
A few moments later...
The beach wind hit the two who were talking. The birds in the ocean seemed to be chasing the atmosphere of the morning. The waves also seemed to be a witness to the things that Jake told his friend. His friend also seemed to understand the problems that plagued. He was sorry about the situation that happened.
Jake sits contemplating on the porch seat after telling Paul about the problem. Paul tried to advise her.
"I think .. You should apologize, Jake." Finally his friend spoke after listening to a story from Jake.
Paul seemed concerned about the situation that was plaguing his friend. He wanted to help but had no good reason to interfere in people's household affairs. He can only give his advice.
"Huh ..," Paul exhaled. "Listening to your story, I didn't expect that you would be caught up in this story. I understand your position. Your covenant with the master Peter has left you unable to do much. I can only hope that Mr. Peter cancels your covenant. That's all." Paul takes Jake's cigarette and turns it on.
Jake was silent for a moment. "I'm .. I don't know what this feeling is. But I'd love to meet him." Jake expresses his feelings.
Paul nodded. He understands. "But your situation is not possible, Jake. Moreover, Smith's son would not let Lilia off just like that." Paul smokes his cigarettes.
"At least I can see he's fine. That's enough." Jake took a deep breath while rubbing his face.
Paul puffed out his cigarette smoke. "You're in love with lovers. But you're lucky to be loved by him too. He really loves you, Jake. But he also needs certainty from you." Paul says.
Jake's quiet. He doesn't know what to say. He can only see what is happening right now. Logic is not working.
"Maybe you found something in him that wasn't obtained all this time. Your heart is so inclined towards him. Yeah, compared to Lea who only wants your treasure, it's better that it's Lilia." Paul says.
Jake swallowed his saliva. Lilia's smile flashed in her mind. "She's so beautiful" said Jake, which made Paul turn his head for a moment.
Paul realizes that his friend is in love. But Paul also understands if Jake doesn't want to admit it. He knows quite well what Jake's been like all along. Because it is not a matter of years anymore they are friends, but twenty years already know each other personally.
