Blue Scandals
40 - Mark 2

Meeting room in one of the luxury hotels in the center of the intersection of five Semarang was already filled with many people who wear black suits.

Although it was said to be a large gathering, the members allowed to come in the meeting were only about 17 people. Each is a division chairman or special assistant.

Tommy enters the room followed by Jun, Robert, Alex, Elena, and Ken.

Soon a 40-year-old man entered with 1 female bodyguard wearing sunglasses.

Everyone sat down with a serious expression, only Ken who looked unsettled.

“How are you Tommy?”

“Yes well, the older the more mature,” Tommy replied with a smile.

“Your child is already big huh?” said the man in the gray suit while staring at Jun.

After a short chat, the agenda of the meeting began. Jun spoke about the killings that took place in the border region. The hazel-eyed man conveyed all the results of the investigation that had been conducted.

The man in gray clothes occasionally nodded but occasionally frowned when he heard the explanation conveyed by Jun.

The man's expression looked serious as Jun began to discuss the circulation of the forbidden ob*t targeting minors.

“Before... ,” cut the man in the ash suit.

Jun stopped his report with a cold expression. He really doesn't like it when the conversation is cut. “There you want to ask?”

The 40-year-old man chuckled because for a moment he felt intimidated by Jun's cold gaze.

“I have read some reports and heard everything you have explained..Wherever this is also the negligence of Styx right?”

“True.. .”.

“I understand.”

The man in the gray suit seemed to be thinking. “I will convey to the center. Wait for the next news in another day.”

“So this meeting is only for things we can not hear directly the result?” asked Tommy with a flat expression.

The man in the gray suit laughed. “I'm sorry, but whatever makes the decision is not me. I can only say Notus' position in this case is safe and sanctions are definitely being given to those who break the rules. For more details of course ‘beliau’ who conveys.”

Tommy smiled despite still being dissatisfied with the answer.

“Then I go first.. I have an appointment with one of my old friends near here," said the man in the gray suit again.

Tommy nodded and let the man out of the room with his bodyguards.

Tommy refocused his eyes on everyone present in the room. They also began to talk about other topics.

Somewhere else…

Gio left the cafe sooner after hearing Nino's advice. Reza also helped because he was forced to.

“This is a dating place?” asked Reza in a soft voice.

“No idea, the info I got Zora again here.”

Reza looked around trying to find Zora. A few seconds later his eyes caught two familiar female figures.

“Sstt, Gio here!” reza said slowly as he pulled his friend closer towards the big tree.

Gio complied and silently looked in the direction Reza was looking at.

“Lu why?!” zora shouted in a high tone.

“You're dating Deon?”

“Aaan anyway? If so why? Enri?”

“Putusin him ra, he it's not a good guy.”

“What the hell are you? Deket no, rumbles, you think you who do you want to value people? You're jealous because I'm dating a popular guy?”

“If you knew he was popular, you would know he was troubled.”

“Gue says don't value people!” zora's voice was rising again. He seemed annoyed by what his schoolmate said.

“But ra... .”

“Urusin aja live your own! People who grow up in a harmonious environment and in a good place do not know what the same life of others? I like the most people who like the value of others just because of rumors without knowing the reality!”

Zora immediately left without turning her head, leaving the one-pointed female still silently peeking in her place.

“Lili...”.

Hearing her voice being called, Lilia turned her head.

“Aduh this you are told to wait a moment even where. Before going home let's say goodbye first to budhe Iin,” said the middle-aged man again.

“Tadi Lilia see temen here so nyapa bentar,” replied Lilia slowly.

Lilia still turned her head towards Zora leaving, her anxious expression unable to be hidden. He accidentally saw Zora being with a man.

Gio and Reza just raised their faces as soon as the two girls left. The two men looked at him with astonished expressions.

“Lilia why is it here with her father?” ask Gio wonder.

“Yes don't know, how come you're me? But I think Lilia knows something about her boyfriend Zora?”

Gio frowned. “Kok can know? I don't know you.”

Reza also looked confused. “Lu ask gih.”

“Kok me? Is that the same Lilia lu?”

Reza scratched his un-itchy forehead. “Gue isn't a minute ago. Lagian Zora your cousin.”

Gio let out a long breath. “Yes I am not familiar with him.”

The two men were silent for a long time, confused as to how.

“Judah back,” said Gio then yawned.

“Keep how's your cousin?”

“Ya how? I was told Lilia kayak is still ngeyel.”

Reza didn't say anything else. He and Gio also intend to return to the melon cafe.

During the trip Gio was still thinking about what Lilia had said earlier. “Za.”

“What?” Reza tried to stay focused on driving Gio's motorcycle.

“Close to home Lilia yuk.”

“Gue wrong denger?”

“No, I keep that in mind.”

Reza was silent, on the one hand he had not talked to Lilia for a long time. On the other hand he felt bad if his friend was in need of his help like that.

“Iya yes, but you are talking yourself yes.”

“Oke.”

Soon the two arrived at the village gate. Reza turned his bike towards Lilia's house. He breathed many times.

“Lu have been to Lilia's house?” ask Gio for an incarnation.

“Earlier group study time fitting SMP.”

“Oh,” reply Gio briefly.

The motorbike ride by the two teenagers stopped at a house with a large yard.

A simple house that looks harmonious with lots of flowers and plants makes it look beautiful. Gio who was the first time to Lilia's house really felt amazed.

Hearing the sound of a motorbike stopping in front of his house, Ani came out of the house.

Reza who saw Ani's mother immediately approached. “Excuse me ma'am, Lilies are there?” reza asked as he extended his hand to shake hands.

Ani's mother scrunched her forehead. “Oh, this is Lilia SMP's friend first huh? Reza?”

“True bu,” replied Reza slowly.

“Loh who is this?”

“I'm Lilia's friend one High School, mom. My name is Gio.”

“Oh so, let's go in first. Lilia just got home some time ago and is still bathing now.”

“Oh we wait outside aja deh bu,” said Gio while glancing towards the park bench.

“Oh yasudah, what do you want to drink? Long time no friend Lili came.”

“Eh no need to ma'am. Oh yes, emang Lilia out of where bu fear I even disturb her rest,” said Reza slowly.

“That Lilia has finished following her Papa nganter goods ordered budhenya."

“Oh so.”

“Wait a minute yes, I made you a drink.”

Bu Ani went straight inside the house, leaving the two awkward-looking young men behind. Reza and Gio were sitting on a park bench in the left yard.

“Home is very cool, calm so, surely this is the owner who is also cool,” said Gio while looking around.

Reza was silent, he looked unsettled. Thinking of what to say when to meet Lilia later.

About 5 minutes later Lilia came with 2 glasses of iced tea. The girl's look was neat and fragrant. Lilia looked with a strange look at the two teenagers.

“Consider the ice, happen to be very thirsty,” said Gio then immediately drank the ice.

Reza pecked at his place, for some reason he felt ashamed.

“So, what's the need to get home? Tumben really,” asked Lilia with a flat expression.

“I just nganter Gio, he said someone wants to be asked,” replied Reza still with a down.

Gio looked at Reza with a confused expression. 'This is if by the way Lilia must use the word ‘aku’ ‘kamu’ right?" gio said in his heart.

Reza averted her eyes reluctant to look at Gio. He repeatedly cursed in his heart because shame suddenly appeared after behaving as he pleased.

“Anu, that's. I want nanya.. “

“Use the usual language you use just to make it more delicious,” said Lilia cut.

Reza held back her laughter but still looked the other way. Gio let out a long breath.

“Gue wants to know about his girlfriend Zora.”

Lilia was silent for a moment with a flat expression. “Why not name yourself to the person? You were there too, right?”

Reza and Gio looked at him with shocked expressions. They don't know if Lilia found out when Reza and Gio were hiding.

Gio sighed again, he knew for sure Lilia did not want to interfere anymore let alone Zora already said things that might upset the girl.

“Gue Zora's cousin. I know everyone has their own privacy, but I'm worried. I can't nanya directly because surely Zora does not want to answer, but I'm worried.”.

Lilia was silent, looking at the table made of wood roots, she sighed. Although he did not want to interfere, but he could not ignore if there were brothers who worried about his brother.

“Deon, his girlfriend's name, school at SMK 2 R. People know about rumors of him changing girls and getting involved in theft...”

“Seriously? How do you know the rumors like that?” ask Gio wonder.

“Temennya Fani who do not know, actually not only that aja... ,” said Lilia doubtful.

“There again?”

“One of my friends who had one Junior High he once said, Deon lecehin new teacher who is still young.”

“What?”

Lilia looked the other way, she felt uncomfortable talking about it. “The incident is not much known because the school closed it under the pretext he is still considered a child and does not know where it is and what is wrong.”

Gio scrunched his forehead. “What form of abuse kayak?”

Reza immediately interjected because he saw Lilia looked uncomfortable. “Hmmm, you still have your friends contact it?”

Lilia sighed. “She's one school with us, Mia.”

Reza nodded in understanding then gave the code to Gio so as not to ask any further.

“Judah then we say yes Lilia. Thanks yeah. I wait on the motor ya Za,” said Gio then away.

Reza took a long breath. “Sorry suddenly come without telling you first.”

“Nothing really, if there is a need. Oh yes, congratulations on starting a career early as a model.”

Reza was silent, he didn't know what to say. “Still.”

“Oh yes, you do not need to avoid or hide again if there is me. Don't think too much about my reaction or be confused about what to do. I'm the one who should apologize for making money again.”

“Not so... .”

“Udah awaited Gio tuh,” said Lilia cutting while smiling.

Reza smiled bitterly and then pampered. She was grateful that Lilia cut her words, because if she didn't, maybe she would say nonsense again.

“Udah Za?” ask Gio to make sure.

“What's up?”

Gio only laughed a little then immediately harrumphed. He waved at Lilia who was still staring at the two young men.

“We go to Mia's house?” ask Reza.

“Tomorrow at school, go back first. My father came home, so this afternoon I have to be home,” replied Gio with a serious expression.

Reza did not answer and immediately rode his friend's motorcycle with moderate speed.

Everyone is silent with their thoughts. No one knew there would be an incident that would probably make them blame themselves.
