“How do you sleep?” asked Graciella who saw her friend finally coming out of her room. From yesterday afternoon until this morning Laura did not come out of her room at all. Even at dinner. Laura did not eat with them. Graciella and Xavier were enjoying their breakfast.
Laura gave a short, thin smile. Graciella looked at her friend's face. There is a black circumference and also a visible puffy eye. It seems he didn't sleep well. Wh why? Why is Laura doing better when she's with Antony.
“Eat,” Graciella said while giving plate to Laura. Laura took it and just kept quiet. Slowly chew her food. Occasionally take side dishes and also vegetables. Just a few mouthfuls of her stomach feeling nauseous.
Laura remembered. He went on a hunger strike after being kidnapped by Antony. He did not remember everything when he was unconscious. But, Calton said that Antony was so panicked and even scolded his personal doctor for stabbing so many veins. Remembering that made Laura smile, but her eyes hurt. Tears just gathered in his eyes.
Graciella could see the strangeness. A thin smile but sincere. Graciella then sees her husband who is silent, but Xavier pays enough attention to Laura. I don't know what Laura is thinking right now. But, for Graciella and Xavier this action was quite alarming.
“I'll call your mom and dad. Do you want to go home or meet here. I think it's better here first. Your father and mother who came to visit.” Graciella picked up a few pieces of meat and placed them on top of Laura's rice.
Laura was speechless, her chewing motion looking slowed down. “Can't do not contact them first.”
Graciella was silent for a moment, again she threw a glance towards her husband who was again flat-faced. “Why? They must have missed you so much. Your mother even met me to track where you are.”
Graciella doesn't think. How did Laura say that? does he miss his parents? Something is wrong with Laura. Yeah, looks like he really wants to take Laura to a psychiatrist.
“I just don't want to meet them.” Laura was silent after that. Graciella really feels alien to Laura who is now. This woman is the most cheerful woman with a carefree life. He also never shuts up. But now, he even pursed his lips tightly.
“Laura, are you really okay?” Graciella said it with a motherly tone. Put his hand on Laura's arm.
Laura took a deep breath then looked towards Graciella who was looking at her anxiously. He slightly pursed his lips then looked towards Graciella's stomach. He remembers how happy Antony was when he found out he wasn't coming on the moon. Wh why? He could miss this with Antony.
“How many months has it been? Must be very happy huh. Oh, my God, I forgot. I haven't congratulated you two. Finally united. Only a handful of people can unite with their loved ones ..” Laura's voice came down. He looked back at his plate. Shredding his rice a few times as if he was covering something up.
“Antony, day ...” Xavier's heavy voice sounded.
However, because of that Laura who had seemed not so interested and excited immediately raised her head. Suddenly there was a twinkle of anxiety in his eyes. Why her? have they reported it? Yeah, why didn't Laura forbid them from reporting Antony.
“Why him? is he okay? You didn't report what he did to me, did you? Right?” cerca Laura who suddenly had her weak voice was gone. Change strong interests.
“Do you guys really not report Antony? I'm asking not.” Laura emphasized it once again. Xavier is an influential person. If until she reported Antony's actions then, she would really be the unlucky bearer woman to Antony.
Graciella took a short breath. He then held Laura's hand that looked clenched on their dining table. Looks like Graciella is starting to understand what happened. Graciella gave her sweet smile.
“We won't do it.” Graciella smiled sincerely.
Laura finally breathed her leg. His shoulder that had been lifted because he heard Antony's name immediately went back to squeezing. “Thank you.”
“Did Antony treat you well there?” ask Graciella.
“Yes, she's good. Sometimes a little bit frustrating. But he was really upsetting. He likes to leave me alone. That's boring once.” Laura went back to eating her food. Speak in a tone he often uses. Seeing all that, Graciella instantly raised the corner of her lips. It turns out that Laura is only interested if there is a name Antony embedded in their chat.
“Not that I've told you that Antony is a good man.” Graciella's abducting again.
“Yes, especially now that he has changed so much. Youknew. Sometimes I get confused as to why Antony could be like that. Now he's so cute. He never asked me if I had eaten or not. Sometimes he also does not answer my question and just answer it with the words ‘Hmm’ is also annoying,” said Laura while shifting a little way to sit in order to face Graciella who is beside him. Graciella saw that. He finally understood.
“You fell in love with him?” ask Graciella to do point. At first I really couldn't have expected this. Graciella thinks that Antony may have been coercive and also cruel to Laura because of the actions of this woman first. He did not expect it to turn out he was wrong, this time he was completely wrong. Graciella was a little sorry for bringing Laura to this place.
Laura raised her eyes perfectly. Is it so noticeable? How he told Graciella about it when he always told her as he did not like Antony. She told Graciella that if Antony was the last man on earth, she would marry him.
“Ehm .. I.] …” Laura is confused as to what to say.
“Already, do not deny. I've been your friend for so long. I know what makes you dislike and what makes you so excited like this.” Graciella gave a teasing smile again.
“Entah, but I now feel so dependent on him. I think I want to always see him and be next to him. Is it love?” ask Laura. He's never been in love before. So he doesn't know if it's love?
“Of course stupid! You used to be so wise to advise me when you wanted to reject Xavier. Now you're like this! Uh! So my rescue mission yesterday was in vain! I feel stupid separating you from Antony.” Graciella chuckled at the innocent looking face of her friend. Laura becomes infected with Graciella's little laugh. “Tell me how can this happen?”
