Chapter 16: Delinda (Part 2)

Now here we are. We already gather at our favorite spots to hangout. "It's your fault, Lobak." Sarah said. "Why you don't tell her the reason that you broke up with her? She deserves to know. Even a cheater wants to know about it!"

I think Sarah misunderstood about what happened here. "Sarah, I'm not cheating on her, okay? That day, my senior, Aoi, wants to buy a present for her boyfriend, but I met Delinda there with her friend." I took a sip of my coffee. "I even don't know she was there that day. All I know is she will go home late. That's a cyclus."

"Hold on!" Kenzie interrupts. "When did you suspect her has an affair with someone? You should talk about it, Lobak with her. Don't jumped into conclusion." Okay, here we go again.

"You should go home to your wife, Kenz. She always sends me a message or called me. Even she came to my house to ask you where have you've been! Don't give a person advice about something you didn't do!" I think I was wrong if I asked them.

I massaging my temple as I heard them arguing about Kenzie where about lately.

"She's cheating on me!" I walked

I lied if I said I don't care about them. I care about both of them. Argh… this is tiring. Should I ask Rose about it? I massage my temple because this situation. Kenzie and Sarah become a mouse and cat every time they interact.

Sometimes, I wonder why both of them liked to argue in the public place. Oh God! I can't breathe. It's better I asked her about this before I passed out. I grabbed my key car and suit.

"Where are you going?!" Sarah looks at me.

"I will talk to Alya about it. You guys can finish your argue. My head wants to explode right now." Maybe Kenzie's wife can help me.

She's the sane one. I don't want categorized them into abnormal, but the fact never lied.

"Here's your tea, Lobak." Alya pulled a chair in front of me. "How's Kenzie? She's at your place, right?"

You owe me this time, Kenz. "Yes, she's at my place." Alya seems worried about her. Should I ask her for the sake of Kenzie? No, let them figure it out by themselves.

"I saw the news. Is that true? Y-your condition gets worse?"

"Don't worry, it will heal as the time goes by." Don't forget about what the purpose you coming here. "Um…" She gave me a sign to keep silent.

"I should go home because Kenzie told me to go home."

Next time, made a reservation first. Alya packs her belongings, then leave me alone with other customer. Did Rose like sushi? My cats obvious loves them. Delinda hates fish.

She said because it's anchovy and has a lot of bones. It remains to me our to our first date.

Flashback on

"Umm… what is this place?" She looked at the surround her.

"Japanese restaurant. I already made a reservation just for the two of us." I said.

"You poor, Lobak. You-" I raised my eyebrow. She slapped my shoulder and gave me a middle finger.

"A popular girl like you never have an attitude? If you don't change that. I will punish you." She slapped me several times and pouted.

"Why did you hide it from me?!" I shrugged my shoulder.

"I'm poor, but my dad was rich. It's not an achievement to be proud of."

Delinda stared into my eyes. "Where you get the money?"

"I worked part time to bring you to this place. He founds a loophole in our National ID. You know how it goes." I said casually.

Delinda rolled her eyes. "I don't know either that you were a criminal."

I shook my head and took a deep breath. "I even an informant inside the deep web." Delinda smack my head again.

I laughed. "Is that funny? Next time, I will kill you with my mom's kitchen knife. My dad will sharpen the knife for me always." She crossed her arms, then looks at the other side.

"I did it for you, Del. It's our first date." She looks at me. She looks beautiful with that t-shirt.

"You want to impress me?" She asked.

I nodded.

The waitress put our order on the table, and she closed her nose. "Is that fish?! Can you sit far away from me?"

I face palmed. I forgot she doesn't like fish.

Flashback off

I sit next to Delinda and passed her a cup of a coffee. "Do you remembered our second date?" I nodded. "Why you choose this place to talk? It's because this place was our favorite place?!"

"Let's we talk, okay? I don't want our problem affect to our professionalism."

She chuckled. "Typical you," she said. "I don't know where to start, Lobak. It's already…" I put my finger in front of her lips.

"Why you always go home late? I wanted to ask you, but I know where it goes. I attempted not to become too controlling of you, but…" don't cry, Lobak. "It seems you didn't care anymore. I'm happy about your graduation, night life, your job and everything about you. I'm happy for you always."

No words came out of her mouth. It's painful to continue this. "Is that the answer I've been waiting for?" I nodded.

"I don't want opened this to you because… it took a long a time bury this painful feeling."

Delinda did not respond to it. "That's why you…"

"Yes. I don't want to talk about it until…" I can't breathe. I picked my phone, then called Hanks.

"Lobak, are you okay?!" I walked to the parking lot, leaving her alone. Delinda shouldn't know this.

I opened my car door, then get inside to the driver's seat. I opened my gloves compartment for looking my meds. Where the fuck is it?! I loosen my tie and un-buttoned my shirt.

Shit. She shouldn't see me like this. I turned on the engine, then leave to a nearby hotel. I remebered there's a three-stars hotel nearby.
