“Hei wait.” Rendra called Melani who was about to leave the class.
The girl turned around, looking at the source of the voice calling out to her.
“What's up sir?” Ask the girl politely.
“You're Lala's friend, mmm I mean, you're Laura's friend right?” Ask the professor.
Melani nodded her head. “Ya, why sir?”
“Ah no, I just want to know why Laura today is not in college?”
“Oh.. instead of just this time of absence I have said if Laura is not feeling well?” Say the girl. Not that he does not know, the girl knows very well if this lecturer has a certain purpose to his best friend.
Rendra nodded her head. “Only, I'm not so sure.” The man tucked his shoulder.
“Sorry sir, if it's done, I'll excuse you first.”
“Eh wait, there is still something I want to ask.” Prevent the 27-year-old.
“What else is it sir?”
“I want to know where Laura.” home address is Rendra.
Melani shook her head. He does not know where his best friend lives. For all she knew, Laura lived with Mr. Hugo, but she never asked for his address. Laura never told me.
“Sorry sir, I don't know.” Lirih.
“Don't lie, you're his friend. Everywhere together. Where you may not know where your own friend's address is.”
Melani sighed harshly. Apparently this man did not believe what he said.
“I really don't know sir. Yes, the previous address I knew. But now Laura no longer lives there.” Obviously the girl.
“You mean she moved?”
Melani nodded her head.
“Did he stay with an adult man?” Rendra seemed to be introgating Melani.
“If that problem I don't know sir. Sorry, I have to excuse.” Melani left her lecturer just like that. Let him be considered impolite.
“Where do you live, La?” Rendra Mumbled. “Do you live with that grown man? Who exactly is he?”
The man walked into his office.
“I'm sure there's something the girl was hiding about Lala.”

As usual, the start of the week was a busy day for Edward. The mountain work awaits at his desk. Many files require his signature.
“Why are you, Jo?” Edward asked the assistant, as he felt his assistant became more reserved than ever.
“It's okay boss. Just wanted to get the job done faster.” The assistant said without looking at the boss.
“I've known you for almost 8 years Johan Purnomo. There's nothing you can hide from me.” Edward was serious. The adult stopped his activity. He resuscitated his sturdy back on the back of the chair.
“Say what's the problem, Jo? I'll definitely help you.” Another imbibing.
‘My problem is with you boss. If your life is not complicated, then my life will be easy.’
“Johan.” Edward again threw a ballpoint pen at his assistant.
But the assistant did not budge in the least. The man approached his assistant.
“What's the problem, Jo?” Edward patted Johan on the shoulder to resuscitate the man.
“Hah” Johan flinched, as a pat landed on his shoulder.
“Say, Jo.”
Johan shook his head. He doesn't know how to tell the problem.
“Bos,. I— Johan paused his words. His spit is like a joke. He also drew and threw his breath rough.
“Bos.. Monica asks when I will marry her.” Said the 30-year-old man softly. He could only look down not daring to look at the superior.
“Then?”
“Then I can what boss? Don't I have to wait for you to marry miss first?” Johan's courage to talk to his superiors has returned.
Edward nodded his head.
“Until when is boss?”
“Until Laura graduates college.”
“Bos, it's still one year away.” Johan said in disbelief.
“Then from that, at least I got a lot of time to talk to mama and Felisha.”
“But should the boss sacrifice me and Monica in this matter?” Whether there was courage from where, Johan spoke like that.
Edward turned to the assistant. He could not believe what Johan was saying. It means that Johan harbors resentment towards him.
“Jo, you think like that?” Edward shook his head, “Don't think like that Jo. I have no intention of sacrificing your relationship. Trust me Jo, everything will definitely happen in time.” Edward said at length.
“I'm sorry boss, I didn't— somehow Johan's mood became sad.
“No need to apologize, Jo. I'm the wrong one here. If talking to Felisha was as easy as talking to others, things wouldn't be this complicated.”
Edward rested his body on the back of the sofa. He thought about many things. He is 35 years old now. But it is very difficult to determine his own life.
‘If you were still here, things wouldn't be this complicated. Please help me find a way out. I don't want to hurt Felisha.’

“Ah no, I don't want to die silly.” Laura uncovers her intention of jumping from the 20th floor of the building.
“Dad and my mother are good people, they must be in heaven right now, if I kill myself, not necessarily I will meet them.” The girl slowly walked away from the iron fence of the balcony.
“Family in the parlor also still need me.”
He threw his body on the sofa bed that was available on the balcony.
“Edward Alexander Hugo, you're so good at hiding things. So many secrets you keep.” Laura leaned her body to the left.
“About your relationship status, about the nightmares you often experience. What really happened?” The girl rubbed the side of the sofa beside her. The place where Edward was yesterday was holding him after they headed to the top.
Laura remembered something, she sat her body down and leaned against the edge of the sofa.
“Wait. If he has a wife, then whose nightmares and delusions are for him?”
Laura remembered when the man had a nightmare, then he would be delirious, saying ‘don't go, don't leave me.’
“Who is in your dream? Did the woman in the photo leave you?”
“Arghhhh..” The girl curled back up and flailed the empty space on the sofa bed.
“Why are you so many secrets, Mr Hugo? Don't you want to tell me a little bit?”
Tired of the many things she thought, the girl closed her eyes.
‘I'll marry you, after you pass’
The sentence flashed back in the 21-year-old girl's memory. To make his eyes open again.
“Yes, I'll stay here until I graduate. Count to pay my debt to you, Mr. Hugo. And until that time comes, I'll find out for myself the answers to everything you've kept secret.”
