Valencia was so naive to believe Andaro's wound was a bathroom sink scratch, he would not expect the real cause of the wound that Andaro experienced, until his eyes looked bruised at the back of Andaro's hand.
Valencia's sharp eyes stared at Andaro in a mute, demanding honesty without question. Andaro who realized the meaning of Valencia's gaze just smiled, raised his shoulders, and was about to pull his hand from Valencia's grasp.
"Don't dodge!! " the bully Valencia kept Andaro's arm in his lap, Valencia fingers switched to applying drugs for inflammation in the back books of Andaro's fingers.
"It's up to you not to tell a story, it's just that I'm sick and hate lies. Don't expect me to ask or trust anyone who's ever lied to me." Valencia's voice was cold and like an ultimatum that turned on a timer. Valencia removed Andaro's arm, tidied up the simple medical equipment used, and was about to return the P3K box to its place before Andaro pulled Valencia's arm to remain seated.
"Val, sometimes being blunt is not a lie but it can be a way to protect someone."
"Klise. how to protect someone like that doesn't apply to Andaro. I'd rather understand what makes you need to protect me until you hide a simple reality that might have nothing to do with me!"
"Because this has something to do with you, Val, at least I think." Valencia frowned upon Andaro's reply, as though there were too many surprises he had experienced in recent times.
"If I tell you the truth why I got hurt and the assumption I had, can you promise not to be afraid and still depend on me??"
"Hanging??? hmmm not you know Andaro... I asked for your help because I want to be independent not depend on Daddy or Viktor.. But now the choice you give is to depend on you?? hufffff got into the crocodile's hole after avoiding the lion's mouth."
"I support you to be able to stand on your own feet without anyone else's shadow. But it seems like the situation right now you need Val's partner, you can't do it by yourself, please trust me."
"Okey... So don't use the 'hanging' language I'd rather promise I'll still be willing to make you a partner after hearing the stories you've hidden."
"okay. deal.. " They shook hands, but never missed, Andaro explained while still cupping Valencia's palm.
"My guess is, someone's been after you.. (Valencia was about to pull out his hand but was firmly restrained by Andaro's hand). Listen to Val. The incident last afternoon when you almost got hit by that motorbike was not an accident. This wound is a knife stroke from a biker that's gonna hit you."
Valencia was speechless. Andaro clapped Valencia's hands and put pressure on the warmth.
"I felt something was wrong Val, so when I was in the restaurant, I deliberately chose our seats that can still see your parked car.. and it turns out the rat will still return to the place where he left a trail to build the nest."
"You mean... The man came back and walked over to my car??" Andaro replied with a nod.
"Next you can see the evidence.I rushed out and did a fistfight with him because it seemed either the car seat or the wheel that was the target of his destruction. It's just too much of a coincidence that we think a wrecked car is a random choice and it just so happens to be a woman's car that almost gets hit by it."
Andaro felt his hand tremble despite Valencia's calm demeanor and face. The shell of the egg tried to hide its fragility, but the tremor of fear was already caught by Andaro.
"Val. don't worry, I'll protect you... Maybe it's too soon for you to hear, but I feel there's more to it than just caring for a colleague or a friend. I don't expect you to return my feelings just let me protect you."
Valencia looked at Andaro with eyes that began to glare with water circles that began to form. Not a cry of happiness, but Valencia feels its fragility has been exposed and yes Valencia does feel too many surprises that occur.
"Andaro, you can get a much better girl, I can't promise to be kind or happy for you."
Andaro's smile grew, at least the rejection received still has a chance for acceptance in the future.
"Don't you think now Val, you're not avoiding me that's enough for now."
"Sorry Andaro... " Calencia lowered her head with one free hand she scratched her head causing her beautiful hair to be a little messy, frustrating.
Andaro pulls Valencia into his arms.
"Ssttt.. calm down. for your confusion with me. Let's describe each problem one by one" said Andaro while designing tidying Valencia hair.
In Andaro's arms, Valencia found a space of tranquility and felt the void within him begin to fill.
Valencia began to speak softly, doing Andaro's advice to start tidying up the complexity experienced at this time.
"We have discussed it so it is no longer necessary you think about it, as a clue. The punishment that will come out will not be 4 years.my guess can be obtained in the numbers 1 to 1.5 years. So get this out of your burden."
"The divorce papers I took care of to end the relationship with Dion.. Is that the wisest step I can choose?"
"In this case, I will not take the opportunity with a subjective opinion.I think that if there is still love it is impossible to leave without saying goodbye and even leave a strange problem like this."
"Yes.he has left a problem more complicated than I can imagine." Valencia answered winged and rhetorical.
Andaro just patted Valencia on the shoulder and separated the distance by looking at Valencia fixedly.
"You're Val's strong woman, it's just that there are less problems to face but I'm sure behind all this there are mature women who are very strong and can solve every problem. Remember. you are not alone beb."
Valencia nodded capturing the power of Andaro's positive words.
"I still have two more problems Andaro." Andaro's eyebrows shot up as if asking without a word.
"If someone is after my life, what should I do?? we can't stay silent, can we?? what do you think my partner??" Valencia smiled, insinuating Andaro that after knowing there were people after him.. Valencia still make Andaro as a partner to solve problems..
"We're partners in crime. My opinion that if we stay in this house seems to be more beneficial to him who is watching you Val."
"Well Andaro.I also had thought that my car they had been looking for is not impossible my existence has been followed. Do you think I should go back to Daddy Hero's house?? that's the safest place I can think of."
Andaro nodded and moved back the P3K box, taking mineral water for him and for Valencia.
"I think that's a good choice Val. You can stay with Daddy Hero and I'll stay here until we find out who's after you"
Valencia regretted a little if they had to leave Andaro alone while a lot of help that Andaro had given for him.
"Look, call Daddy"
Valencia talks with Daddy listened to by Andaro, occasionally there was a voice Viktor who said that the same day Valencia had to go home but too soon to improve and it was agreed tomorrow is the latest Valencia to return to his big house.
Daddy Hero, hearing that Andaro is staying at Dion's house, expresses his disapproval.
π You, Andaro.. Did he also hear this talk??
πYes Sir, I hear you
π Listen to me son, tomorrow you have to come with Valencia stay at my house. There is no reason to talk now, we continue tomorrow.there will be a lot of talk between us. tut...
Andaro and Valencia looked at each other.. Valencia just shook his shoulders and smiled happily because now increased one other person who feels how dominant Daddy Hero is.
"Well Val. Now there's another problem that's stuck, tell me.
Long Valencia thought...
"Mmmm. That's still a spider in my room... "
Dueeengs... Andaro closed his eyes thinking of having to laugh or get mad with the last thorny problem Valencia revealed.
