Friends Who Destroy
BC 67

"Here you go, ma'am, I'm reluctant to talk about this." Faruq replied avoiding the rinsing that made him uncomfortable.

"You're this." There was a visible annoyance on his face.

"Mom..... Can keep Alexa, I have other business." asked Faruq to look seriously at his mother's face.

"Where are you going?" jasmin suspects her son is trying to do something.

"Work ma'am" replied Faruq who found the right reason to ease his mother's worries.

"Ooh..... Alright." Ms. Jasmin nodded her head.

"Let's pick up the afternoon after work mom." Message Faruq as he steps away.

"All right....."

The two split in the opposite direction.

During his working hours, Faruq never forgot his agenda after returning home from work, even if he was not so focused on his work today.

He had the clock on his left wrist. His mouth clucked, disappointed by his vision who found the scene that seemed to change in the slightest. So long in Faruq's feelings.

"Farooq..... Why did you just get to this page....??" Ask a man who dresses like any other employee.

"Sorry sir, I'm not focused." Faruq replied honestly while holding his head with both hands.

"Please don't bring the problem at home or anywhere else to this office. I don't want the office job to be neglected with the problems you're facing."

Said the man saying firmly while looking at Faruq who looked focused on the laptop screen in front of him.

"I'm sorry sir, next time I'll be more professional again sir." Faruq said in the end.

A few moments later the working hours were over, Faruq who was not focused immediately and left his office impatiently. He took himself to a large office in downtown Jakarta.

His eyes were observantly staring at the main door of the building in front of him, paying clear attention to everyone who came out from there.

An hour passed, but he did not find what he was waiting for. The surroundings were already blackened by the night, there were only a few people still walking out of the building.

Shortly afterwards, a man in a white suit came out the main door, followed by a man who Faruq believed was the man's personal assistant.

Without warning Faruq rushed to the man who was none other than Leon.

BBUUGGG

A huge blow just landed on Leon's face, giving him pain that Leon was unable to express.

Jack hurriedly dropped the map in his hand, replying to Faruq's punch with the same action. But the man seemed to feel no pain at all, he only grimaced staring at Leon with a wry smile that carved on his lips.

"Where's Ghea???" Ask Faruq slowly. Faruq repeated his question in a tone that he elevated.approaching the man who was just smearing with a single blow of his hand. However, his body is restrained by Jack's attack, which faithfully protects his master.

Leon squinted his eyes, feeling something was awkward with Faruq's words.

"Wait a minute!!!"

Leon stops Jack's ready-to-mash next fist into Faruq's face.

"Where are you hiding Ghea?" Shouted Faruq again, staring intently at Leon.

"I haven't seen him in a long time, I think he's ignoring me for a cheap guy like you." Leon snorted, feeling reluctant to look at Faruq who was already soaked by the sweat of his anger.

"Just....!!! I don't trust you one bit." Faruq's flick challenges Leon. He was sure that Leon had done nothing to his lover.

"I can't lie. How could I hide someone." replied Leon.

"But..... Thanks for the information, I'll be looking for it soon. Let's see which one of us manages to find it first." Leon so boasted of his position in front of Faruq. Then Leon immediately walks into his car, leaving Faruq to be astonished by Leon's reply.

"If you're not with Leon, then where is Ghea going??" faruq's mind is getting cloudy now, he doesn't know where else to find information.

With Faruq's lunglai walking into his car, he stared at the reflection of his shadow on the central rearview. Look how useless he is. Feeling stupid with a position that he cannot use at all.

"Do we need to take this case to the police station, sir?" Jack asked her to give her opinion.

"No need, it's just a minor matter." Then Leon smiled wryly as he continued on his way to the car.

"Where are you going Ghe....??" A desperate tone was clearly heard from his trembling lips.

Helping breath several times he exhaled rough, while turning on the car engine and forwarding it to a place. On the way he continued to daydream, thinking about a new lover of heart some time ago he met again after two years never met.

It took longer for Faruq to reach the hospital where Alexa was treated, he did not forget to pick up the woman who was his wife.

With a shaky step Faruq entered the room where Alexa lived this morning. But the room was empty, no one was there.

Faruq glanced at the watch on his left arm, it was already nine more hours. The desperate man clutched his head violently, as if realizing a foolishness he had just committed.

"Sus.... The patient this morning in this room where is it??" Ask Faruq to a nun passing by there.

"Having come home with his mother this afternoon at six." The answer Faruq had guessed before was finally heard.

"Good thanks." Faruq replied and then walked out of there.

Faruq grabbed the phone in his pants pocket, looking for a contact inside.

"Hallo mom....." Sapa Faruq when the call has been connected.

"Where have you been..... Why is your number off this afternoon?"

"Have you gone home?"

Faruq asked something else instead, not caring about the question that Jasmin asked.

"Yes..... We've come home by taxi online." Jasmin replied with a slight annoyance at her son's mistake.

"I'm going home now." Then Faruq ended his call, put the phone on top of his car dashboard, brought himself home to the house where he lived.

While in the room, Alexa seems very upset with Faruq's behavior that clearly does not care at all. It's a long way from work, then where did Faruq go these four hours?.

Alexa did not expect if he had to be in a situation like this, he thought gradually Faruq would fall for him, let alone see the dullness of his body, no man would refuse him.

However, in fact, Faruq is not a man like most men he knows so far. He's clearly different. He had misjudged Faruq all along.
