JUST GIVE ME A REASON
chapter 67. Harboring Heart Pain
...****************...
Her mother Lolita was a little relieved to hear Lolita's complaint. Because for six years Lolita never told anything about her household problems to her mother or Sophia. Because Lolita is afraid of being a burden on her family. All the trouble in her own damper in Lolita's heart.
" Want to buy more souvenirs not Lolita?!" asked Franco who was arranging luggage in the trunk of the car.
" No need. This is enough for my family. Go straight to my mom's house, Franco. Because I miss my mother and Sophia about her one week did not meet them" said Lolita told.
" Okay ready. I asked again about the fear you want to buy something. I stopped at the rest area later. If it's not too sleepy, I'll keep the car" Franco explained.
" Last night my mother called me and told me that last night Gatot was visiting my mother's house. He said he wanted to talk about our household. It even disfigured me. Judge you and I are having an affair because we're on vacation together. Maybe Gatot was very angry with me because I didn't want to go back to his house" Lolita said.
" Yes, be patient. You can stay in my apartment. If I could easily live in a house. The important thing is that you can calm down for a moment from the Gatot problem" Franco commented.
" I will not avoid Gatot again. I will meet and take Gatot to his house. All I want to take my clothes and stuff at home" Lolita explained.
" Want me to accompany?! I don't want you to go alone to Gatot's house. Afraid of bad things happening as you meet alone with Gatot" Franco explained.
" Don't bother Franco. If you accompany me to the house of Gatot there is a great debate and a great quarrel. I will ask Sophia to accompany me the most." Lolita told me.
" Yes if you think it's good to be accompanied by Sophia. Yes already. But if you need help, you can call me" Franco commented.
" Ready for Franco!! Thank you for your attention all this time. I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply. But someday I will repay your kindness" Lolita said with a smile.

On the way to Jakarta. Gatot called Lolita. Gatot still insists on telling Lolita to go home soon. Gatot's anger grew increasingly high and uncontrolled because of Gatot's jealousy towards Franco who was very close and very familiar to Lolita. Although Franco was Lolita's brother but their familiarity made Gatot's heart feel envious.
" Where are you Lolita?! You ignored my words and warnings to go home to Jakarta huh?! Or do you prefer to speak at a religious court?!" gatot said with ketus.
" I'm on my way to Jakarta. I'm talking to you because your ego and emotions are still sky-high. So that there is a chat we will only argue, argue and end up not finding a solution" said Lolita explained.
" Aren't you the one who avoided this matter?! I told you to go home instead you went on vacation with Franco on the grounds of wanting to calm down. Bullshit ah!! Tell me you don't want people to know that you're in a forbidden relationship, right?!" gatot said Lolita.
' Abaghfirullah!! You said it first!! Sorry, I'm not such a cheap woman!! If I'm having an affair, why would I marry you!! " lolita said annoyed.
" Yes if you don't want to be stamped cheap women go home!! Not even a vacation to avoid the problem in the deliberation of both not even the holiday streets" said Gatot angry.
" Okay, I'm waiting for you!! Watch out for you lying!! I will force you to come home with me" Gatot threatened Lolita.
" Now I won't lie, let alone avoid our troubles!! " lolita said as she ended the phone conversation with Gatot.
...****************...
Franco who overheard the phone conversation between Lolita and Gatot only fell silent. Pretending not to know. So as not to make the problem complicated. On the way to Jakarta Lolita and Franco did not talk to each other just listening to music in his car Franco. Arriving at Lolita's mother's house.
" Assalamualaikum" said Lolita's greeting as she knocked on her mother's door.
" Wa aleikum hail!! Mba Lolita finally came home too!! Mom here!! Mba Lolita has returned home from Jogjakarta in the same company ma Franco" Sophia told her mother.
" Thank God you've finally come home to Lolita and Franco. Thank you Franco for bringing Lolita home. I'm sorry Franco if Lolita during the holidays troubles you" said Lolita's mother felt bad.
" It's not a hassle, ma'am. I even took Lolita on vacation. Lolita rarely takes a vacation. Busy working Mulu. Never refreshing ", Franco told me.
" I'm sorry about Franco. Just keep your distance from Lolita. You see, you guys are always together and familiar. Fearful of the thought of the neighbors and Gatot that you have a love affair" said his mother Lolita rebuked Franco.
" It's nothing, ma'am. I understand that Lolita has a problem with Gatot. Nor will I disturb the domestic life of Gatot and Lolita. I even offered Lolita to stay in my apartment. Later I can stay with my college friends" Franco explained.
" I'm sorry Franco!! I don't agree that Lolita lives in your apartment!! You don't even bother. Lolita still has a family here ", said her mother Lolita giving advice.
" Yes it's okay Mom. I'm just offering you a place to stay. Instead of Lolita having to buy an apartment. It's better to stay in my apartment" Franco said, feeling a little disappointed.
" What's important is that we can still communicate and meet Franco. Maybe not every day. One or two times a week ", Lolita told Franco.
" It's okay Lolita. Most importantly I can still communicate and interact with you. Don't forget the project of our business both yes" said Franco reminded.
" Yes, we will negotiate with Mom and Sophia as well. Let them know about our plan" Lolita said with a smile.
