Not Runaway
CHAPTER 21
Vina stared intently at the eyes of the friend sitting in front of her while chewing the fish n chip. The mood of the mall that afternoon was rather quiet. They like to hang out in the day and work hours to avoid the crowds.
"Rin you ma Richie. Swear to. It's a whole hell of a story" Vina said after she heard Airin being with Aiden.
"I know Aiden's cool, but you don't think Richie's feeling." continued Vina.
"Eiitt. wait for Vin. Kesel may, but by the way, donk common sense. First, I actually don't have the heart. Second, I think it's Richie's feeling. You don't know if I'm really upset, want this it's afraid of Richie's will, afraid he's angry. Yeah just how else, maybe sooner he'd better know this. And one thing, I match her to Hannah Fang's class girl. Great right?!" Airin tried to defend himself even though he seemed forced.
"Yes I know Rin, you're not that bad. You know I really want you to be happy ever after the same Richie. He's super good with you en Vely" said Vina. Then Airin told me about Richie's mom calling him.
"Oooooo-o.. Is that why you ran to Aiden? Afraid of aunt Desy?"
"Ga is bego. Afraid of Aunt Desy, too, but I didn't choose Aiden for the runaway. She's that.adult." Airin smiled.
"Lo think Richie's a bocil??" Vina keeps trying to defend Richie. Airin snorted in annoyance.
"Aiden it..Mmmh.I'm hard to explain Vin. You know I can't possibly accept a guy I don't like. Especially after this long time. I was just thinking, he's the one I've been waiting for." Airin tried to make Vina understand her decision. He knew Vina wanted the best for him and Vely.
"Pinter really yes the choice of words lo. It's hard to argue." Vina smiled softening sign.
They split up in the mall parking lot. Airin does not have many friends. Only Vina was the closest and always there. We do not need many friends, only one who is willing to lend a hand in our time of need, and accept if we want to share happiness. More than one friend? Thanks God, a bonus for our lives.
Airin spotted a black BMW sedan not far from his parked car. The car is very suspicious. Backward is unclear. Airin was just afraid his car was hit by that car. Or the guy in it a car thief? Airin. Finally he dared to knock on the car glass. One tap. Two taps. The driver's car's glass drops after the third knock. A woman in her 50s wears sunglasses. 'It's not a thief, ' thought Airin.
"Sorry, is Mom okay? Mommy sick?" airin asked after seeing the nervousness of the woman.
"Mmm.gini.. I can't park this car." said the woman embarrassed.
"Oh, may I help you, ma'am?" Airin smiled, he knew the woman must be feeling a bit embarrassed. Airin smoothly finished parking the luxury car. He returned the car keys to the fashionable aunt who was waiting. The black glasses had already been released, so as not to seem arrogant, the woman thought.
"Thank you Mba, my driver suddenly got sick. I have an important appointment" said the woman.
"Together, Mom. Will you be able to get out of the car?" Airin asked doubtfully afraid of offending the woman.
Airin left the mall for the RAF office.

"Shinta, you're really late" said a woman who was no less fashionable. There were still five women who seemed to be the same age gathered in a luxurious restaurant.
"Yes, Mr. Tarno is sick. I couldn't park, I was so shy. Fortunately helped by the same one mbak mbak in the parking lot earlier." explained the woman who turned out to be named Shinta. They started that monthly rally. Seven socialite women who do not seem to need to think about the cost of living considering the nominal fantastic charity.
"Desy, so who was Richie carrying yesterday?" merry asked, the only bright red-haired woman there.
"Friend's son. Didn't meet there on purpose, so they played together." said Desy loudly. As if I knew someone was going to talk about it now.
"Oos..Kirain's boyfriend's son, like Richie, is very happy. But that's a pretty girl, Des." continued Karenina, another woman with three necklaces perched like stairs around her neck.
"Yes, pretty indeed. But unfortunately she's a widow, so I've ordered Richie not to get too close." Desy was actually lazy to discuss this. He did not want to vilify Airin, but indeed he did not like to see the closeness of his son with Airin.
"A widow is not good?" Shinta got into the subject.
"Not so. Yes, if you can't." replied Desy.
"I heard your grandson Darren won the karaoke race at school?" ask another woman.
"Well, you know where Sil is?" Shinta smiled proudly.
"From Friska, she's a Darren school. Whoa, really is her mother's descendant." Silla immediately closed her mouth as if knowing that she had spoken wrongly.
"Sorry." he continued.
"It's ok." Shinta responded casually to this matter. They all knew about Aiden's problem. Understandably, Aiden's wedding used to be held very lively. Almost all the great businessmen and officials were invited to the party. And of course Aiden's divorce news was far more frenzied than his marriage.
