Impossible Love
17. The Hidden Little Secret

Throughout the day since meeting Amelia's parents, it seems Fredi is increasingly convinced if there is a mystery behind the case of the death of Amelia and also the disappearance of Dedi, it seems,

Fredi kept trying to guess what really happened to both, and what he had to do so that all the problems could be solved and he could go home soon,

Tok...

There was a sudden knock outside the door, and, surprised Fredi who was after breakfast this morning he prefers to be in the room to be able to unpack the belongings of Dedi and Amelia who are in the box while focusing on the problems that occur, while thinking about the problems that occur,

"Yes in,"

Fredi said as he pushed the dus containing Amelia and Dedi's belongings again under his feet,

After hearing Fredi invite in, the door was then opened from the outside and it looked Mbok Sur standing there,

"Mas, there's a guest,"

Mbok Sur said,

Fredi frowned, frowning,

"Guests? My guest or my mother?"

Fredi asked confusedly,

Gawat of course he thought, if it turns out that Dedi has some friends that he does not know his name, because of course, if close friends until he does not know his name, because of course, if he does not know his name, they will immediately feel Fredi is not a person they know,

"Guest Mas Dedi,"

Mbok Sur replied, which made Fredi nervous,

But, Fredi quickly tried to behave as usual as possible, because he did not want to later Mbok Sur also became suspicious of Fredi's attitude that was too much different from Dedi's habits, and he also became suspicious, especially if he looks nervous a little bit,

"Nwg... Who the hell is Mbok?"

Fredi asked then, who while standing up,

"Mad's sister Amelia, Mas,"

Mbok Sur said,

Hearing Mbok Sur's answer, Fredi seemed to immediately gasp, because one of the people he most wanted to meet just came alone now,

Fredi nodded, too,

"Alright, Mbok, I change clothes first,"

Fredi told Mbok Sur,

The middle-aged woman nodded, then closed the door to Dedi's room, which Fredi currently occupied for a while,

Fredi then walked toward the wardrobe owned by Dedi, choosing a shirt that strangely all black and gray only, the color is black and gray,

Really just those two colors, and almost all of them are also plain models without any writing or drawing,

It seems, Dedi is indeed a fairly closed person, and it is not easy to show his feelings, he said,

Fredi then chose a gray t-shirt with short sleeves, which when he pulled the shirt suddenly from under the t-shirt was attracted by a piece of paper that then fell to the floor,

Fredi momentarily looked towards the floor where the piece of paper was there,

He bent over to grab the paper, which turned out to be a letter,

Fredi momentarily unfolded, and read the writing he knew was not Amelia's,

Good Mas Dedi, I know maybe this shouldn't happen, but the heart is still the heart, he can't be set where and to whom it falls.

Amelia, I know you've been with her for a long time, even since your childhood you've been close like brothers.

So I also realized that there would be no place for me. But, at least, let me express my feelings, if I have fallen in love with you, Mas Dedi.

Rani's.

Fredi was momentarily stunned after reading the letter he had just found among Dedi's t-shirts in the closet,

Isn't she Amelia's sister?

Fredi of course immediately like getting one small clue from all the cases he now faces.

...****************...

"More Mas,"

The figure of the girl greeted with a smile that was so sweet yet made Fredi somehow feel uncomfortable, she said,

He immediately lost respect for the girl, who was Rani, Amelia's sister, who secretly wrote love letters to her brother's lover,

Obviously, for Fredi it is unjustified, because with what Rani did, it means consciously he could try to stab his brother from behind,

"Yes noon,"

Reply Fredi then in a flat tone of voice only,

The house is now back quiet, because after breakfast, his mother Dedi drove Mr. Giman to the city to check out their family's meubel shop,

Besides there are also some affairs that Fredi himself does not know and he did not try to ask to know,

Fredi then sat in the guest room chair, a wooden chair from teak carved Garuda bird with a seat of red velvet cloth, red color,

On the guest table there is a row of three and also a box of cake boxes,

"Mother cooking specifically for Mas Dedi, if this is Mas Dedi's favorite cake that is usually bought by Amelia from Uwak store, then Mother also deliberately bought it when she returned from the District,"

Rani said when she saw Fredi looked to look at the bushel and the cake she brought and he put it on the guest table in front of her sitting,

"Oh,"

Fredi looks just meng oh right, making Rani look even more awkward in front of Fredi, making her look even more awkward,

"Ngg.... How is Mas doing? Ngg... L'm... I heard Mas didn't come home for almost a week or..."

"I'm fine, as you can see, right? I'm healthy,"

Said Fredi interrupted Rani's unfinished sentence, making Rani so look happy a smile that looks once forced, making Rani,

But, Fredi did not seem to care, he did not like this girl like Rani, who could love his own sibling partner, it was really sickening for Fredi, she said,

"Well, thank God, because Mother is also worried about your situation, so I asked her to come to ask in person,"

Hearing Rani's words, of course Fredi just smiled obliquely,

He was definitely not a fool who could believe it just like that,

How could Rani say her mother was worried about Dedi's condition, while this morning her mother clearly met Fredi on the street,

Fredi who must have been known as Dedi should have been enough to let him know if Dedi was okay, which means he did not have to ask his son to come to Dedi's house to find out,

For a moment Fredi then looked out of the house that he could see from the main door that seemed to be left open by Mbok Sur when he invited Rani in and sat down,

From Fredi's place, you can see a rickshaw parked with the rickshawman sitting while the fan-fan with a small towel, and,

"Well rickshaw?"

Fredi asked Rani, then,

Rani nodded, though,

"Yes Mas, Mr. Munir, who used to go between Amelia and here, is still familiar, right?"

Rani asked with a probing look,

Fredi who realized Rani's gaze was not the gaze of the person who asked to talk just plain look nodded,

Rani gave a fleeting smile, a meaningful smile.
