I'M NOT A FLOOZY
Chapter 23

Palupi, stepped inside the villa and soon returned with a few snacks. Palupi walked gracefully while still wearing high heels to get used to it.

His heart grew curious in unraveling every story Liana who turned out to be very draining.

'The world is full of mystery. So complicated God creates living things with all the diversity created in life and life, ' Inner palupi while shaking his head. Palupi threw her body back on the seat at Liana's side, while slightly glancing towards Liana who was playing her phone.

Shortly thereafter, a conversation took place on his cell phone. Liana's face looks stiff and very serious in answering the phone. Liana was a bit away from Palupi, and was looking for a more comfortable place to talk without being heard by anyone.

Palupi was still faithfully waiting, while occasionally he siphoned the snacks he brought. But his eyes never escaped the sight that led to Liana.

'Liana, I hope you find the happiness you hope for. It's not just me who's lost my family and my parents. You also feel a lot of suffering. Fight alone in the face of your difficulties. Just like I lost the happy days of my childhood. I never felt what I should have felt, which was filling my life with joy filled with the love of my parents. Your story is more tragic than I thought. May soon open a path for you to the happiness you desire.'

The phone call ended, with Liana smiling and walking closer to Palupi again.

While munching on a snack, Palupi asked, "Are you sad and missing your brother, Liana?" Palupi asked as she continued to stare fixedly at Liana's eyes.

"Well, of course I miss him, but what can I do! It's all been happening. I'm a disgrace to my family, miss." Again and again Liana re-ignited a cigarette and sucked it deeply, as if able to forget the burden she had been saving herself.

"Actually if time could be turned, I would like to feel like I'm back in my previous life." Liana said while exhaling her cigarette smoke strongly.

"Unfortunately, the rice has become porridge Non. Hadeh, already. Rest is more than 30 minutes, we practice again yuk!" Liana got up and stretched out her hand towards Palupi, and was greeted with Palupi's sweet smile, unwilling to move from her seat.

"Oh Liana, shouldn't we rest first? I know you're not okay, don't push yourself. There's still time tomorrow" Palupi suggested to Liana.

Palupi tried to evade his obligation to train again. "Isn't my mom coming in a few weeks? Mr. John once said he would go back to his country first, and come back here with my mother."

Liana smiled at Palupi's refusal. He knew that the teenage girl was trying to buy time because of undergoing quite tiring training.

"Miss, actually I really want to hug you. It was like finding a sister who could accept my existence without judgment.

But I realized, of course, you will feel uncomfortable hugging me who is not normal. There's fear, you'll hate me after hearing my life story. I can't be a man anymore because my decision is final. But I was afraid and hesitated to embrace you." Liana's wry smile, while squeezing the tip of Palupi's nose with anxiety.

Palupi stood up and pulled Liana's hand to stand up. Without hesitation Palupi hugged Liana while whispering, "to me you are my beautiful and kind sister. I'll still think of you as my best brother and best friend, no matter what the world says."

They hugged like brothers and sisters. Palupi wiped away Liana's dripping tears. They smile back. Their hearts are filled with happiness.

Palupi teenage girl is much wiser in looking at the problems of life that surround her. He felt he had no right to judge Liana's chosen way of life. Let all problems flow like the flow of water in a river that flows from upstream to downstream. Life follows the path of destiny.

They sit back and enjoy the snacks that are still at the table.

"Do I now have to call you sister Liana?" Ask Palupi. "If so we deal yes. From now on do not need to call me as miss yah...? I'm not your employer, we're best friends to brothers, how about...?" Palupi thrusting her little finger towards Liana.

Hitting their pinky fingers, Liana replied, "Okay deal. But call me without calling me brother. Keep calling me Liana without brother frills. Because the name of that brother was only done by my men."

Ha.ha.ha... Their laughter is crisp like Sidoarjo shrimp crackers sounding kemriyuk.

John was suddenly among them. Of course, John's presence made them turn their bodies upside down. There was a sense of worry considering Palupi who had mocked John with Liana.

"That Cynn... Don't make people surprised can be no, heart eiyke ambyar difficult mungutnya, ish." Liana's spontaneous protest that made them laugh together.

Palupi dodged John's sharp gaze as if he was about to pounce on him alive. "Std... Lianas! Is Mr John listening to our conversation?" Palupi's eyes flickered, "she seemed to be angry. Look at his face so ugly."

After clapping his hands, John slowly approached, while carrying a long stick towards Liana. With a serious face John stared intensely at Liana.

Palupi, who also felt guilty, because of his words about John earlier, was concerned with what John would do with the small and long stick.

Palupi then followed John's line of sight which directed his eyes towards Liana's shoulders. Spontaneous laugh Palupi exploded and broke out while holding his stomach.

"You guys, it's a hairless caterpillar, from the avocado tree, why should you be afraid?"

As soon as she heard the word caterpillar, Liana screamed and ran around in fear. "Let go, please... I'm afraid that ludicrous little creature, beib geez.., eiyke can faint, toloooong...!"

Liana's nervous and silly voice made Merry run closer in a row, while carrying a feather duster. Merry immediately drove the rancid caterpillar from Liana's shoulder.

After the caterpillar fell off his shoulder, Merry saw the scene that invited a smile.

However, aware of his limitations, Merry returned to the house without saying a word.

Meanwhile, with a feeling of shame, Liana released her embrace from John who did not dare to move due to being hugged by Liana.

Palupi was still laughing at the behavior of Liana who was seen still spreading her shoulders, the caterpillar was already hiding because it was driven by a feather duster.

"Eh, sir, I've come home from work." Sapa Palupi who was trying to neutralize his laughter.

Liana apologizes for reflexively hugging John. John ignores Liana's apology. He approached Palupi and rebuked him. "Didn't Gulizar promise not to call me master?"

"Ups, sorry to forget." Palupi replied while grinning and covering her mouth.

"Remember, don't repeat it or I'll punish you later tonight!" John answered with a flat face.

"Hell boss, don't scare my beautiful sister. Pity if pressed on." Limpal Liana mediated the two, while trying to melt the suddenly stiff atmosphere.
