"Eat!!" tell Samuel to Ivana. The girl shook her head while pushing the dinner plate that was proffered to her.
"Let's eat! Don't act like a child!!" samuel jolted, couldn't be more patient in dealing with a girl of Ivana's age.
Ivana folded both lips with teary eyes holding back tears of sadness. For his heart was too fragile, and he could not accept Samuel's harsh treatment of him.
"Why are you so bad? You're not like Matthew, he's very kind and gentle with me." Ivana's protest sounded soft.
"Matthew, Matthew and Matthew are what you call. How many times have I told you, I don't know the guy by that weird name!" samuel's jolt slammed the plate until the contents on it scattered.
Ivana's cry broke, the girl roared like a child. "I want to go home. Give me back to Matthew...!"
A woman, wearing glasses, went into the room and told Samuel to come out. "Let me persuade this girl. You go out and get me a new plate for Ivana."
Although Samuel refused to move. However, the woman's words were like a spell that bewitched her just like that. "Alright, please give the child understanding."
The woman with the eyes nodded for sure. "That's my part. Now, get him some food!"
Without any further refutation, Samuel headed for the kitchen. Although his mouth was muttering because he still felt annoyed by Ivana's behavior that was so spoiled.
The young woman smiled kindly and walked up to Ivana and sat down in front of her. He looked warmly and began to speak very softly. "I'm sorry Samuel, he's really good. It's only possible that his profession, which often deals with criminals, makes him that violent."
Ivana sighed and nodded small. "But I don't understand yet, why was I brought here? I'm with Matthew safe. We live in a secluded place that no one knows."
"Well, Samuel can tell" answered the woman with a faint smile. "He came at the right time" he added, cleaning up the food.
"He's, isn't he, a freak. That's why I know my hiding place with Matthew" Ivana argued. Why was it that when he was near the man he was mature, but in the presence of Samuel and these strangers, he became a plug.
The woman laughed a little. "Samuel is weird. If only he wasn't my best friend, I'd have made shark food."
Ivana laughed at a joke that she thought was funny. However, he recoiled his mouth because Samuel went into the room while looking suspiciously.
"You guys gossiped about me?" samuel asked, giving a container of food to the woman with glasses in front of her.
"It's none of your business!" the woman then laughed. The sentence is the final sentence often uttered by Samuel.
Samuel clucked and threw his face. Choose to quickly move away from the two women in front of him, before the mood intensifies.
"I don't know your name yet" Ivana said suddenly.
"Yes?" sahut the woman. "Ah.. My name is Jeanny," she replied, smiling sweetly.
"Are you the lover of that strange man?" ivana asked again, frowning.
Jeanny did not answer Ivana's question. However, from the knotty smile engraved on her lips it was enough to explain how the woman felt, towards the man who had been with her these few months.
"Now, you eat first. Want to eat alone or am I a bribe?" jeanny asked, shoving a piece of peanut butter bread into Ivana's mouth.
The girl snorted and pulled the bread from Jeanny's hand. "Eat it alone, I'm not a child!"
"Good..." Jeanny rubs Ivana's head, giving comfort to the girl's heart.
While outside the room, Matthew seemed to be pacing around unsettled. Sometimes his head turned towards the closed door. He no longer wanted to wait any longer, to bring Lucas to justice by using Ivana as the key to the man's ultimate crime.
Moments later, Jeanny had finished her task. He came to Samuel who was visibly angry. "The girl is calm. I ask, be more gentle with him. He is not a criminal who should be harshly interrogated and pressured constantly. We don't know, do we, what the kid's been through?"
Samuel sighed and put one of his hands on Jeanny's shoulders. "I'm just too worried."
"I understand your position." Jeanny smiled sweetly.
"Thank you Je, I can always count on you." Samuel smiled no less sweetly.
Jeanny patted the back of Samuel's hand. "That's what friends are for...."
Cone lips, flattened back. And a wide smile was imprinted on that handsome, masculine face. "Well, I want to talk to the kid again. I can't wait any longer. Because of those criminals, it will gradually know of its existence here."
Jeanny. "Remember my message, Sam!" Lower your tension and ego if you want to get the girl's heart."
"Yes-yes, baffles...!" Samuel pinned both of Jeanny's cheeks and ruffled her hair. "I'm in now yeah...."
The young woman smiled and blinked her eyes. Gaining approval through body language, Samuel just went from the presence of his close friend. Because he doesn't want to waste a minute's time. Because the longer he moves, the harder Lucas will be to touch.
