Arthur sat down next to Raya.
" so you mean 'Layla was not kidnapped but she deliberately ran away from home and hid . But he called you. That's what you mean ? " ask Arthur.
" yes that's what I think sister "ansaid Lian who sat on the floor holding her head that was exhausted in her first brother's shake.
" but there's one thing you don't know about this. Layla did leave the house about 1 month ago and it has been about 2 weeks since her footsteps disappeared. although only the last traces though. as long as there is information and evidence that Layla is fine, then her parents will be a little calm" said Arthur
" But sister, as far as I know, Layla is not a person who easily runs away from home so easily without any reason" said Calista .
" yes, you're right. All of this has a reason. Actually from the beginning Layla refused to be betrothed . various ways she did just so that her parents canceled the betrothal, but all failed. therefore she left her house "Athur replied
" HUH !! WHEN ? WITH WHO ?! WHERE IS THE MAN ?! " stunned Calista and Julian together.
" you remind me a few months ago, papi sama mami went to the grandfather's kingdom. From there mommy and papi know the plan . But we can't interfere either". " said Arthur
DDRRRT DRRRTT
All is instantly silent as Julian's phone on the table vibrates displaying Layla's name and mobile number.
" just pick it up. But remember , be ordinary , as if we don't know the problem. If he is, answer me here " said Arthur
Lian nodded then received the call not forgetting the loudspeaker.
" Yes who am I talking to ? " ask Lian in a soft tone
" is Mr Playboy the fish stamp there ? " ask Layla with an adorable tone.
" ah with my own. are you the Mosquito brake ? " ask Lian in a seductive tone
" hahah I'm pretty gini time in say mosquito. hahaha "laughter Layla from across the phone.
Both Calista and Arthur gawk at Lian and Layla's talk which sounds not like cousins but more like a couple teasing and joking.
" ah ah ah. I said Mosquito . Playboy base fish" Layla said.
" yes, who asked , who started first who "ansaid Lian
" aha. Lian, where are you now ? " ask Layla
" i just came home from college, now play to Arthur's apartment, hehe Kak Lista bring the prospective sister-in-law loh .. " said Lian as if no one else heard their chat even though Lista and Edward were being talked about nearby.
Edward who was drinking while watching was choking when he heard Lian call him 'candidate-in-law'.
For a moment Edward's eyes collided with Calista's eyes, then threw each other's faces even though they were both flushed with shame.
" Who !! really. haha good . said congratulations to Lista yes. hmm Lian, I'm bosen ni. out playing yuk " said Layla.
From the sound of forced laughter, everyone knew that Layla was envious and sad because only she could not choose her own heart.
" okay tuh. lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah out of here so their mosquito repellent . hahaha.. oh yes, , where are you anyway ? how do I keep picking her up ? " ask Lian because Layla's whereabouts are currently still nowhere to be found, although she calls Lian at this time.
" okay again. aar I shareloc yes. if you pick up, whatever you want to use what, the car can motor also be. I'm free . as long as you " layla said softly but she did not realize that the 'origin with you' speech sounded quite clear to the ear of Edward who was sitting the furthest from Lian's phone. let alone Lista and Arthur who were sitting beside and in front of Lian.
It's just that , Lian herself did not heed that and considered it ordinary.
Because the one thing that makes Lian at the age of her teens is already closing her heart.
" okay .shareloc yes.I left" said Lian.
" hem. I wait for ya " replied Layla then decided on the call.
" Lian . You and Layla have something ? " ask Arthur
" Lian looks like Layla thinks of you as more than a cousin . Besides us and she's not a cousin with blood ties either. Don't just play around outside and try to open up again "lista's turn is talking.
" Then ? it's not that you know who, what and why my heart can be closed " said Lian flat and cold even her eyes turned sharp.
at first glance it was not like the current Lian.
" h already.forget it . I go first, this is already the address" said Lian took her jacket and came out.
Calista and Arthur stare at Julian's missing back behind the door.
" want to see when he's like that" said Lista slowly
" that's why Lis.sister is sure that someday the key in her heart will melt and the door will open again.We also can't do anything about the problem" said Arthur.
Julian drives his car at medium speed to the address Layla gave him.
15 Minutes later.
Julian's car stopped in front of a small hut not far from the city center.
" is this the address ? " jonathan wondered. Then get out of the car.
However , came out a figure that he recognized from inside the small hut.
" Yo ! haha was surprised to see my new home.let's go in first " said Layla approaching Lian .
Lian simply followed Layla who pulled her hand into the small hut.
When inside the , Julian was shocked to see the contents of the hut that there was only a small closet accompanying the tiny table in the middle .
" hey . Don't insult my house . Come on" said Layla pressing the tiny table then BRAAAK .
Open a ladder to the bottom.
Layla keeps pulling Lian's hand leading her down.
" welcome to my home" said Layla spread her hands as if welcoming the arrival of Lian in her secret house.
The basement is transformed into a residential house that is no less luxurious than a five-star hotel.
the facilities are also complete, there is even a laptop located neatly on the table, a collection of computers that Layla just used.
But one thing that caught Lian's attention, all the items she gave and also the photos of them were both displayed beautifully on the wall of the room.
just a picture of the two of them, with no third person.
" when did you wake up ? " ask Lian
" from when did ya. haha I forgot. had ah. yuk out playing " said Layla took her bag .
" oh come on. but, sometime I can play here again right "ask Lian . honestly , that room suits her taste.
" of course I can "answer Layla with a sweet smile .
Finally , they just go out to buy food and drinks . they are busy with games on the computer .
Both look happy & without knowing simple happiness it will not last long because of a decision .
To Be Continue 😘😊🤗
