Chloe silently lowered her head not daring to look into Ezra's father's eyes, while Ezra looked back with a serious expression.
"So why mother?" Ask Ezra's father who's already sitting on the couch opposite Ezra and Chloe.
"That's right, they're married. We are not invited to their wedding" Mother Ezra, who was sitting beside Ezra's father, seemed to be in a ruffled waist, focusing her attention on Ezra. "Ezra too, should have asked for the blessing of father and mother first. Let's have a discussion about the proposal. Don't get married!"
Ezra's father shook his head slowly while exhaling. "Your mother is right Ezra, you as a child should ask for blessing first. Want to put where the face of the father and mother later if you meet your wife's parents, if you come from marriage?"
Ezra scowled his forehead for a moment, A soft breath could be heard from the green-tinted man. How can he explain the truth, if mom and dad don't give her a chance to talk. While Chloe could only stare at the speechles with a forced smile on her lips.
"Ezra, you're all grown up, right? So know right and wrong. This way your father and mother will intervene asking for blessing from your wife's parents. Let's go now" said Ezra's father firmly who made Ezra look up.
"Mother, get ready first. All bring souvenirs made by Ezra," Mother Ezra intends to move from her seat, but Ezra first opened her voice with a serious expression.
"Dad, Mother! Stopit! Please listen to Ezra's explanation. Ezra could not explain that you did not give Ezra a chance to speak" said Ezra who immediately made Ezra's father and mother refocus their attention.
Mother Ezra who was standing now sits back. "Ah, I'm sorry. Now Ezra can talk,"
"We're both just coworkers, nothing more than that. I think of him as part of my family because he was my friend and Mr. Justin. She used to help us in the office so we met often" Ezra explained, hiding some of the fact that Chloe was in the dorm with her.
"Geez, that's it. Mother thought you were married, After all you always mention the word 'family' anyway. Mother misunderstood," Mother Ezra smiled shyly.
"Good aunt, Mr. Ezra and Mr. Justin also often help me in the office. That's why I also consider them part of my family," Chloe smiled faintly at Ezra's mother's attitude.
"Dad thought it was actually already married, Ezra was 23 years old and had no partner" Ezra's father chuckled with his jokes. I feel ashamed because I misunderstood.
"If I'm married, I'll wear a wedding ring on my finger. I don't want to rush into marriage. Mother's father," Ezra showed her the fingers of his left hand that had no wedding ring at all. Chloe followed Ezra's movements, showing Ezra's left finger justifying Ezra's words with a big smile.
"Well, even though your mother thinks it fits you. After all these years you never saw Ezra close to another girl. In addition to always sticking beside Justin," Mother Ezra chuckled softly which made Ezra immediately scowl annoyed.
The man took his cup and gulped the contents several times to divert his sense of regret because it is often called sticking with Justin. Although the truth is true.
"Hehehe, Aunty can. But not necessarily Mr. Ezra wants to be with me. I'm just a normal guy," Chloe little grinned, Rubbed her nape embarrassed.
"That's...!" As Ezra chokes at Chloe's words, the man closes his mouth with one hand and hurriedly lays down the cup. A thin hue again adorned his cheeks.
"Son, are you okay?" Ask Ezra's father to realize that Ezra is choking.
"Yes, it's okay. Just a little choking," Ezra nodded still closing his mouth, Then the green net glanced at Chloe.
"What does that mean? Is that some kind of code? But his tone just sounded ordinary, "Ezra thought he turned his face the other way.
"Oh yeah, by the way Chloe knows where Ezra is?" Ask Mother Ezra while smiling gently.
"In J.G Entertainment company owned by Mr. Justin. When I applied for a job there, I knew Mr. Ezra, "Lies Chloe clumsy.
"Duh, sorry uncle and aunt. Chloe had to lie so Ezra's sir wouldn't get in trouble again" Chloe Ringis said in her heart, Feeling guilty for having to lie but somehow he was forced to do so to keep his identity and Mr. Ezra safe.
"Oh, it's worth knowing. Justin must have known you before Ezra. Uncle right, right?" Catch Ezra's father while sipping his coffee.
"Right uncle," Chloe gave a small nod, Glancing at Ezra who seemed to be silently listening to the chatter.
"Then during your first meeting, was Ezra being rude to you, son?" the look on Ezra's mother's face seemed anxious, Instantly making Chloe silent for a moment.
The memory of Ezra's words when he was first partner with the man suddenly flashed in his mind.
The Flashback
"You!"
Chloe's attention is centered on Ezra who looks at her blindly and resentfully.
"Don't fuck with me! Just be careful if you try to make a bad report about me," said Ezra cynically, Moving his right hand to demonstrate as if he was cutting his own head. As if saying 'You're Dead!' to Chloe if Chloe makes a bad report about Ezra.
[Note: (Season 2) Partner]
Flashback Off
"Even though the incident had passed, for some reason the words of Mr. Ezra at that time were still ringing in my head. I realized at that time Mr. Ezra hated me so much, the first time I met him was indeed creepy. She didn't even hesitate to almost kill me back then," considering that she just made Chloe sweat cold, she spoke a while.
"That..–"
Chloe's sentence came to a halt when she felt a small repugnance at her feet, The moment of blue netra glanced at her feet then turned to Ezra who looked at her flat, But the green net seemed to glint implied meaningfully behind it. As if asking him to lie.
"Ten-Of course not aunty, Mr. Ezra is very good even. Even in the office he often helps me if I am in trouble. All the office employees respected him as much as Mr. Justin," said Chloe smiling forcefully, Hiding her depressed mentality because of Ezra's deathly gaze.
"Duh sir, I helped you. His gaze should not be fierce napa?" Chloe thought grimacing because of Ezra's gaze.
"Oh, thank goodness then. Mommy is just worried in case Ezra's rude attitude recurs again. But it seems that Ezra will not behave like that anymore," Mother Ezra smiled with relief, Looking at her son who was staring back with a thin smile like a puppy who was excited because praised by his master.
"Good work, son, I hope you keep this attitude. Do not let the rude attitude recur again," Advice Ezra's father patted his son's shoulders gently, Smile berkrisma did not fade from the middle-aged man even though his face was a little wrinkled strokes.
"Thank you Mother. I'll remember" Ezra looked down happy to get a pat from his father.
"Ah, Now Mr. Ezra is showing a happy puppy-like expression. I don't know if the compliment means anything to her, but thank God that Ezra's sir is happy" Chloe breathed a sigh of relief. At least he did not feel depressed anymore because the death gaze of Ezra was gone.
"Mother's father, I want to go to the toilet first," Ezra's permission as he climbed up after the clap was over, Both of his parents just nodded. And Ezra steps away leaving Chloe there with her parents.
"Son Chloe, if I may know why Chloe chose Ezra. Though there are still many men out there who may be better than Ezra, Mother is not bad at Ezra but mother is only worried about Ezra's future because all this time only Justin is close to him," A worried tone emanated clearly from the middle-aged woman, Making Chloe ponder for a moment.
"To be honest I don't care where I feel, although the type of Ezra sir I don't blame him. Because Mr. Ezra has struggled to change his attitude. I guess Mr. Ezra deserves better," Chloe explained smiling gently, Her gaze looking shady.
"You're really very kind, son," Ezra's father smiled, looking relieved at Chloe's reply. "So uncle was also worried because for years Ezra was only close to Justin, and it might be difficult to get him a partner. Thank goodness now she's meeting a girl like you, son,"
"Ezra was honestly a good boy, He always obeyed our orders. But since Justin's longtime friends may also change his attitude, Mommy apologizes that Ezra was once rude to you, son,"
"Nothing uncle aunt, I understand the attitude of Mr. Ezra. Mr. Ezra behaved the same because he wanted to protect Mr. Justin, somehow Mr. Justin is a superior and friend for Mr. Ezra. So you could say Mr. Ezra does not want to lose a figure like Mr. Justin," replied Chloe with positive thoughts.
Making both of Ezra's parents smile at hearing that.
"Ah, So this is yes chemistry of certain people. His thinking is different than people in general, the chemistry of this girl can change Ezra's perspective on him even the people closest to him. Looks like you didn't choose the wrong son Ezra," thought Ezra's father still smiling. He was happy that Ezra had found a suitable partner.
"We may not always be able to accompany Ezra, especially he is a busy person. Well, then, can you ask Chloe one request?"
"By aunty, Chloe will definitely do everything Chloe can if aunty asks for it,"
A gentle smile rose again on the woman's face. "Please take care of Ezra yes, he already has no one but us,"
For a moment Chloe was stunned to hear it, For some reason she felt sad as if it was a will. But the girl brushed off the negative thought and nodded happily while smiling cheerfully.
"Definitely! I will try to take care of Mr. Ezra. Although Mr. Ezra refused, but uncle and aunt also tried to let Mr. Ezra not alone," Reply Chloe still maintained her smile. "This is Chloe's promise, you know,"
"Yes, we will definitely also try for Ezra's sake," Ezra's father nodded.
Chloe smiled again, until shortly after the conversation. Ezra approaches Chloe while looking at her parents.
"Mother's father, it looks like we have to go home now. I have to drive him, " said Ezra, holding a dull-looking book in his hand.
"Ah, why not just stay here a day? Mommy still wants to talk to Chloe's son, "Ezra's mother looks sullen because Ezra and Chloe want to go home.
"Sorry mother, but the tengi–'s familyI mean Chloe's family must be looking for her. So we couldn't take long," Ezra hurriedly said, Almost to the point that she mentioned Chloe Tengil.
Chloe glanced for a moment with a look of speechles. "The call has not changed until now,"
Mother Ezra was still pouting and pacified Ezra's father. "Here you go, let them go home. Ezra was also busy, sometime they could come back here anyway. Isn't that Ezra?"
"Yes,"
"Yes, be careful on the road. Take care of Chloe ya Ezra's son, "Ezra's mother finally let Ezra and Chloe go despite still disagreeing.
"Yes, we're saying goodbye first" Ezra gave a small nod and stepped out of the house first.
"We went yes. Aunt uncle" Pamit Chloe before catching up with Ezra who left first.
**************
Ckkeeiattt!
Ezra pulls his car over on the side of the road, turns off the engine and appears to be fiddling with his watch. Chloe who saw that was a little peeking.
"Why sir? Why did you rush home?"
"I got information from the system in my watch clock that someone was trying to track us down, he was trying to hack the system" said Ezra seriously, Still focused on fiddling with his watch. "Therefore I hurriedly brought you home so that my parents wouldn't get involved,"
"Oh so," Chloe nodded her head, Before long the girl felt the watch she was wearing shake. Her blue net glanced for a moment to find the phrase 'Danger' written there with the screen turning dark red.
"Jamku why? Sir there's a 'Danger' on my watch," Chloe pointed out, Feeling a little panicked in case the clock breaks.
Ezra turned his attention, frowning for a moment before taking off his own watch after turning it off.
"Take off the clock, give it to me!"
Chloe took off her watch at Ezra's behest, she gave it to him and was well received by the man. Some time Ezra fiddled with Chloe's clock, until finally he turned off the clock and kept his and Chloe's clock in the dashboard of the car.
"For a while we don't use the clock first," Ezra re-started the car's engine and ran the car. "This must have been the police,"
"If they get this far looking for us, will the hostel be found out?"
"No, the location of the dorm is very secret. That place is untraceable because there's a protector from the dimensional tree,"
"Oh, the tree in the middle of the forest is not far from the dormitory, right?"
"Yes,"
"After dropping me off, did you really go back to the hostel?"
"How else, I have to keep that dormitory safe. And you're fine there as long as I'm not around, remember if you meet Victor or the Red Devil. Tell me right away, "Ezra's advice without taking his eyes off.
"All right, sir, I get it,"
After a silence covers Ezra and Chloe on the way home, Chloe chooses to take a nap to relieve her fatigue after a long trip.
