From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapter 11. pity.. or love?

Aldo who was right in front of me just kept bowing, and he seemed to be unable to say anything more.

He was going to comfort me when I started crying.

But I refuse my body language. Because it felt like my lips were complaining, not wanting one word to come out of my mouth again.

I kept staring intently at the man, whom I occasionally saw he glanced at me with a timid expression mixed in fear.

"why so long?" finally that word came out of my lips.

"i'll call my friend again for a while" he said, in a nervous tone.

I saw Brother Aldo grabbing his phone, then talking on the phone.

"she said, 5 minutes later." she looked at me. " Clar.let me go now.. Pleeeeeaaase!!"

Wow... really sucks this guy!

He could have run away after everything he did.

"diem here! don't be a coward!"

Suddenly a black minibus stopped in front of my stall.

Then I saw Keanu get off the car in a lethargic step, and there were 2 slightly bleeding bruises on his face. Right on the left side of his lips, and on the right side of his eyes.

I approached him who was unlocking the rolling door, with a medicine box and ice cubes in my hand.

I just stood next to her without saying anything, until she finally turned to me.

"what are you doing here?"

"i. that's.." I pointed at the wound on Keanu's face. "i want to treat your wound.."

"already, don't do it. I'm gaping."

"what the hell? Look, that bruised guy too! Bloody, again!"

I dragged 2 plastic chairs inside the Keanu durian shop.

"don't protest!" my orders while sitting on that chair. "here.." I patted the empty chair next to me.

He finally complied..

And I started treating his wounds.

"you're here?" tanya, who occasionally grimaced in pain.

"really why? I'll take your wounds again!" I answered, while continuing to treat it.

"there's your boyfriend. What if he's jealous? Look, he keeps glancing over here.."

"don't you know! She's not my girlfriend.."

"oh yeah? But he comes here every day, right? what's he doing?"

"don't know! I banned him, but he kept me nyamperin. Bummer. Disturbingly know!"

Oh yeah, I just realized.. How am I talking to Keanu now, 'me-you', huh?

But gapapa.. Kasian also Keanu if I keep jutekkin.

"don't you go to the police?" I asked, after Keanu told me about his kidnapping.

"no need!"

"why?"

"i don't like to prolong the problem."

"but this is a crime! Your store has been harmed 2 times, not to mention your life is almost threatened.."

"already. gapapa! And I also don't want to investigate who did it. After all, in this world there is still a law of karma right? Surely God will retaliate and punish his actions in God's own way."

I haven't told Keanu that it was Aldo. If Keanu finds out, he'll definitely avoid Aldo!

I'd better process the case without Keanu's knowledge, through my police Om.

Yeah.huh, right?

"you're not so good at being people..!"

She smiled "don't praise me.. I'm not that good.."

"keep what's the name? Ah, I know! You are so stupid!"

He just replied with a smile..

Ahhe.. Her smile is so charming.. I just saw him pulsating this smooth..

Especially with his hair hit by the wind..

Wah.. God's creature is very handsome..!

"i know I'm handsome! But you don't have to look at me charmed like that.. Don't forget to blink!" the whisper was right in my ear.

Ouch.. Pack everything, again!

Shame to know..!!!

I immediately left after cleaning my medicine box, without responding to Keanu's words.

"Keanu might still be able to forgive you! But the law is still the law! The guilty must be punished!I'll process your case, and I'm asking, you don't run! Don't be a coward!!"

"Clar... I beg you. Don't report me to the police, will you?!"

"Quick get out of here! I'm so sick of seeing your face!"

"o.oke.I'm leaving.but please, Clar.."

I did not answer his request. I was too sick to even look at his face.

"go!!"

He finally left with a face that remained pierced.

I did not realize, it turns out in front of Keanu shop there is a pick up car that transports the duren.

And now he's moving those durens into his shop.

When I finished, I started to see people coming to Keanu one by one.

Yep! They were the ones who had been in the group asking for compensation to Keanu.

The man looked calm, with a smile that remained flat on his lips.

He's really generous like him. He even distributed his durian to the people without protest.

I just watched him from here.. My view of him looking annoying at first, has now changed.. Now I see compliments about that man.

He is a very kind, responsible man and cares deeply about those who need him.

Do I look like I'm licking my own spit?

A few days ago I just said not to like that guy because Nadia likes him.

But now, I could not stop staring at him with admiration that filled my gaze.

Drrrrrrrrrrrttt Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttt

I was shocked by the vibration of my phone.

And saw Ririn's name appear on the phone screen.

'hello.' I said, in an uninspired tone.

'hello Clar... kok lak bales-bales chat me anyway?'

'gue is busy Rin.' My voice still sounds lazy.

'lo angry with me because of my semalem I don't temenin lo ya?'

i'm silent..

'don't take dong. ntar beautiful ilang..!" goda Ririn's.

'kalo kalobek, I keep beautiful kali..!"

'hahahaha. pede lo is world level! hahaha.." said Ririn as she continued her laughter.

And I began to be provoked to smile, but still silent.

'Clar.. Aldo still likes it?'

'until now, still, but I don't think starting tomorrow!"

'lho.. why? Mmm.. surely he likes it the same way? Keep shooting you, and you refuse..! Bener right?'

'when did you become a fortune teller?'

'hahaha..must be my guess really right?'

I said or didn't I tell Ririn about Aldo's problem?

But Ririn must know that Aldo's brother is not as good as he thinks. Don't make my best friend wrong to like someone..

'Rin, actually I want to say something the same lo. from yesterday-yesterday.but you are busy mulu!'

'oh, by the way! What the hell?'

'this I can't talk on the phone, the problem is too long and complicated to make in the story on the phone.'

'do you think it's serious?! Yaudah I'll go home to work we meet in a regular cafe, okay?'

'okay deh..'
