US: The Irreconcilable Story
Chapter 18 Alibi

"Stop here, Khen." I asked Khenzie to stop after the car drove quite far from the crowd.

Khenzie followed my words, he stopped the Brooklyn car. I hurriedly opened the seat belt and got out of the car, opening the trunk of a Brooklyn car.

"Why do you actually, actually?" Khenzie got out of the car and approached me.

"Diem!"

My eyes were fixed on the small black bag, tucked under the car seat, I picked it up.

"Syan." it seems that Khenzie was also surprised to see the contents of the bag after I opened it.

"This is what?" asked Khenzie, who I'm sure actually she also knows what her eyes are looking at right now.

I hurriedly grabbed the cell phone and took a picture of the bag in the Brooklyn car.

"Why inject this much, keep the white powder that's in that little plastic...."

Khenzie seemed reluctant to continue his words.

"Grey." I subconsciously said that out loud.

"So all this time Brooklyn.... an addict?"

"Original, I'm goosebumps Syan." Khenzie continued, he rubbed his arm.

I put the bag back in its original place, I took one step closer to Khenzie while looking at Khenzie seriously.

“Gue can trust you, right, Khen?”

Khenzie was silent for a moment then smiled faintly.

“Iya.” Khenzie replied, briefly.

We drove to see Brooklyn in the hospital.

“After knowing Brooklyn turned out to be a drug addict...what will you do next?” Khenzie asked me while looking straight at the street.

I glanced at Khenzie who was sitting to my right.

“Gue don't know.”  I answered Khenzie's question with flogging feelings.

“Lo won't report this case to the police?” ask Khenzie, doubt it.

“Gue scared, Khen. I can't squirm the person I love crouching in the iron bars.”

Khenzie sighed, he lowered his car glass slightly.

“Gue know you love Brooklyn but Syan.. if you lo ngebiarin Brooklyn continue to like this just like you do yourself.”

I was silent at Khenzie's words, staring down the street through the car window.

“Honestly far from inside I said, if I was afraid of Brooklyn after knowing he was a drug addict, I was afraid he was venting his hallucinations the same I even when thinking about it already made me creep.” my inner in heart.

Once in the hospital, we went to Brooklyn, apparently Brooklyn was allowed to go home, his condition was better after getting an infusion.

“Honey, have you been here long?” I asked Brooklyn, who was sitting in the chair in front of her nursery.

“Lumayan.” Brooklyn moved out of its seat.

“How does the doctor say?”

“Good, I've been authorized to go home.”

“Yaudah, let's go home.” Take me.

“Khen, you know my car only has two seats so..”.

“Iya, I can go home by myself.”  Khenzie interrupts brooklyn's words to say something Khenzie doesn't want to hear, a word that sounds subtle but actually has quite a stabbing meaning.

“Astagah, baby I forgot.”I patted my head.

“Forgot what?” ask Brooklyn, curious.

“So Mama asked me to buy meat in the supermarket, you can go home alone?” i'm alibi.

“Kok that? Gapapa, I can anter you. Your home supermarket is right?”

“Hah! No need, mending you go home and rest. I don't want you to be tired.” I was being nice to Brooklyn just to make her unsuspecting that I was lying to her.

“I'm sorry, I'm not sick anymore.” Brooklyn kept pushing to get me home.

Brooklyn stared cynically at Khenzie.

“Just because of him, I got worried.”

“Gue?” Khenzie raised his right eyebrow, looking seriously at Brooklyn .

“Udah yes, I'm tired. I want to go home.” I left Brooklyn and Khenzie, upset with Brooklyn

On the busway, Khenzie asked me.

“Syan.”

Khenzie and I were standing next to each other.

“Gue can it be something?”

“Ask, tumben lo ask permission first.” Answer me

“Tante didn't ask you to buy meat at the supermarket, did you? You just make excuses to not go home with Brooklyn, really not?” Khenzie seemed to be able to read my mind.

I glanced at him for a moment.

“Iya.” answer me, briefly.

“Why? Why do you shy away from him?”

“Gue scared, Khen.” said me, slowly.

I looked into Khenzie's eyes, and so did Khenzie.

At night, in my room. I stared at the picture frame above the drawer next to my bed, where my potoku and Brooklyn were displayed there, in the photo we looked very happy with the last laugh that was immortalized, he said, brooklyn's look at me seemed to imply that she really loved me.

“Lyn, I don't know what to do in front of you after I know you're a drug addict.” I grabbed the picture frame and then looked at it.

“How can you ruin your own life? How can you break the trust of me and your parents? I'm honestly disappointed, Lyn. I'm disappointed!” tears unconsciously flowed down my cheeks.

I got lost in the emotional feeling that was present because of Brooklyn, then suddenly from the outside came the sound of Bang Aksa calling me, he was knocking on my bedroom door.

“Syan, please open the door. Bang Aksa want to chat bentar.” exclaimed Bang Aksa from outside my room.

“Iya, briefly.”  I wiped my tears.

I got out of my bed and opened the door.

“You chat about what, Bang?” I asked Bang Aksa, after the door opened.

“Chat in aja.” Bang Aksa went into my room.

I followed him from behind.

“You were in the hospital?”

Bang Aksa sat on the sofa, while I sat on the chair that was in front of her while pinching the tip of my thumb.

“Iya.” I replied, briefly.

“Ngapain?” it seemed like Bang Aksa was trying to test my level of honesty, I was sure he already knew what I was actually doing in the hospital earlier, I knew it from the look on his face that seemed to hold back anger.

“Brooklyn sick.” Answer, downcast.

“Now you know, why did Brother and Bang Arsa never like your boyfriend?”

The question that Bang Aksa asked made me speechless, not warty.

“He's not a guy who pantes make dapetin your love, Syan. So, Brother ask you to stay with him and forget him.”

“But Bang, Shana love so much Brooklyn.”

Bang Aksa threw away his face for a split second.

“Love?” Bang Aksa stared fixedly at my two eyes.

“What kind of love do you mean? Love should provide comfort not the other way around.” Bang Aksa.

For a moment I loosened my head, holding the back of my neck which was agonizing.

“How to? How do I forget people who have been part of Shana's life for the last 4 years?” I stared wryly at Bang Aksa's eyes, emotional.

I saw both of Bang Aksa's eyelids shaking, his eyes shining.
