7. Farewell and love
Happy reading ….
Joan began to open her eyes when the sun had started to illuminate the rooftop, she glanced at the clock that was wrapped around her wrist, the hands of the clock showed 05. 30, no wonder the sun had started to rise at this hour.
Joan started to wake up into a sitting position, she looked for the woman who was lying beside her last night, at this time Joan did not see the woman’s whereabouts but a letter lying beside her. Without hesitation, Joan immediately opened the letter quickly.
good morning Bro…
Sorry this morning I had to leave my Broter alone, I wanted to wake my Broter up but I couldn’t bear it because my Broter was sleeping very soundly. I also want to say thank you to my Broter for listening to my story last night and my Broter’s hug really calmed me down, once again thank you for your time Bro. I’m sure your time means a lot even if it’s for a second, but last night you wasted hours, I feel guilty for wasting your time like that.
When I woke up this morning, Bro, I immediately realized that you are a very good listener. To be honest, I am very happy to have a friend like you, but at that moment I realized that I was not good enough to be close to you even though it was as a friend. I’m afraid something will happen to you if you continue to be near me, whether it’s from my parents who are crazy about money or my fanatical fans. I’m just afraid that your Broter will end up getting hurt because of me, so I really beg you, don’t ever see me again, when I say accept you as a friend, it only applies to last night, the rest act like a stranger, I think that’s for the best for both of us.
Live well Bro with a woman who really loves you ! That’s my only request as a friend last night brother.
That’s enough of our meeting, Bro. I’ve prepared breakfast for my Broter downstairs, don’t forget to eat it, Bro. Think of it as my last gift for my Broter.
From : Liza Nathalia Hope.
Joan tore the paper roughly, then she threw the torn paper so that it was scattered throughout the room. She did not accept if the woman told her to stay away from her life.
After all, last night Liza had said that she wanted to be her best friend, then why did the woman immediately change her mind in just a matter of hours, this was very unfair to Joan. She felt very wronged by Liza’s unilateral decision.
Joan ruffled her hair. Frustrated, she took out her cellphone from her coat pocket. She quickly typed a name in the search logo on the phone app. She immediately pressed the call button on the Dafa manager’s contact.
” Hello , good morning boss ” said Dafa from the other side in the voice typical of people waking up .
“Hmm, I have an assignment for you Daf” Joan answered flatly.
“What’s the job boss?” asked Dafa in surprise.
” Find out where Liza is now , follow her wherever she goes ! If she is in her apartment please let me know , but if she is somewhere else you just need to monitor her and ensure her safety ! ” Joan orders using formal language , if during working hours both of them are always polite like a boss and his subordinates .
” Ok boss , I will immediately carry out the boss ‘s orders ” replied Dafa reassuringly the boss .
” Remember , I do not want Liza to know that someone is stalking her . You must do your job without any mistakes ! ” Joan warned .
“Yes boss, I will definitely monitor it closely. As if it looks like a ga—–”
Tut… Tut..
Dafa let out a shaky breath when Joan hung up the phone without waiting for her to finish her words.
While on the other hand, Joan immediately left the Rooftop to the 3rd floor which is a special room for the dining room. Joan’s eyes immediately sparkled when she saw all the food was neatly arranged like a 5-star restaurant, Joan’s stomach immediately rumbled when she smelled the aroma of the food. Now Joan’s eyes are captivated by rice The fried rice looked very tempting, Joan swiftly devoured the fried rice even though there were many other food choices that were lower in calories than fried rice.
Joan ate the fried rice voraciously, her irritation seemed to just disappear when she tasted the delicious fried rice made by Liza.
Joan could immediately conclude that Liza descended from her mother’s prowess who was very skilled in the field of cooking. Even though Zea was busy with her work, she always made time to cook something for her family.
This time, Joan really regretted not being able to get a woman as perfect as Liza. Let alone making Liza a wife, even just as a friend, the woman had rejected Joan outright.
Joan took a deep breath as she continued to chew her food voraciously.

This morning Liza and Dilan were rushing to the house of Dilan’s parents which was quite far away, it would take at least 4 hours to arrive in the city.
In the car Liza was just daydreaming about the condition of the man she left on the rooftop alone this morning. She was afraid that the man would be very angry because he did not keep his promise to be a friend to Joan.
Actually, Liza really wants to be friends with a man like Joan who always thinks of adults and always looks far ahead, but she is afraid that her relationship with Joan will actually have a bad impact on Rivenno’s family due to the actions of her own parents.
” Lo why Li ? ” asked Dilan who had been watching the woman beside him pensively with a confused expression .
Liza woke up from her daydream, she quickly turned to the source of the voice “I’m not sure why – why lan, I just feel dizzy”
Dilan wrinkled his forehead , he did not believe the woman ‘s words , the Liza he knew was someone who was used to long distance travel .
“Just go to America, which takes a long time Lo is strong Li, when my parents’ house only takes 4 hours You’re not strong Li?” Dilan asked to solve his curiosity.
“I also don’t know lan, my head suddenly dizzy all of a sudden” Liza replied while massaging her forehead slowly like someone who was feeling dizzy.
Dilan stared at the woman in disbelief, this time he began to believe her words.
“Recently, is your schedule really busy, li?”
Liza nodded at Dilan’s words “Not bad, because I have to shoot almost every day because the director of the drama I’m playing wants to speed up the broadcast of the drama, he said the director wants to immediately work on a new drama when the project is finished”
Hearing the explanation from Liza , Dilan shook his head not understanding anymore with this woman who always does not think about herself and prefers to continue to be professional in her work .
“Li, can’t you just take time to rest for a while? After all, you have a lot of money, why are you trying to work so hard?”
Liza looked away at the car window. “Those who have a lot of money are my parents, Lan, not me. I have to work that hard because I don’t want to depend on them anymore.” Liza answered in a disappointed tone.
Dilan was silent for a moment , now he understands why Liza did that . Maybe her parents would throw away their only child if Liza did not obey one thing they ordered .
“Well, if you’re dizzy, you better go to sleep Li, I’ll wake you up when you get there!” Dilan ordered which Liza immediately obeyed, the woman immediately closed her eyes, because she felt sleepy because part of her night’s sleep had been spent chatting with Joan.
Now the atmosphere in the car is instantly quiet , Liza is sleeping with her dreams while Dilan is still focused on driving without saying a word because he does not want to disturb Liza who is already asleep .
4 hours have passed, at this time the car they are riding is parked neatly in a simple house but it looks very beautiful because the house is filled with various kinds of flowers that have been neatly arranged by Dilan’s mother.
Liza immediately got out of the car with her pillow face, she repeatedly yawned because the drowsiness was still attacking her.
Dilan carried Liza, whose life had not yet been fully collected, the two of them immediately knocked on the house slowly.
Knock knock..
” Assalamualaikum Father , Mother ” Dilan knocked on the door many times because he had not received any answer from inside .
“They’re at home right?” Liza asked, the woman was afraid that Dilan’s family wasn’t at home at the moment, because Dilan didn’t tell her beforehand that the two of them would visit here today.
“They rarely leave the house, Li, unless there is a family event”
Liza shaped her mouth like the letter O ” Ooh maybe they are in the kitchen this time so I can not hear ” Liza said , the woman immediately changed her position from standing behind Dilan to being in front of the man .
Now Liza began to take over to knock on the door of the house .
Knock… knock… tock…
“Assalamualaikum Auntie, uncle, this is Liza”
With just one knock , someone from inside immediately opened the door with a very happy expression .
The middle-aged woman immediately hugged Liza with joy “Oh my goodness, the beauty didn’t tell you if you wanted to come here, if you knew you would definitely make your favorite food”
Said Renata who was very familiar with Liza like the relationship between a mother and her daughter.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Dilan just glared at the show , he was annoyed that he was being completely ignored at this time .
“Hmm, it’s just Liza who is called. Have you forgotten Dilan, Mom?” Joan sarcastically, who immediately distracted her mother, Renata swiftly turned to hug her eldest son.
“Oh my goodness this is the most handsome mother’s child, why didn’t you tell me if you wanted to bring your future wife to this house?”
” Liza does not want my mother to know that we are coming today , because she does not want you to bother cooking something ” Dilan explained to his mother .
Renata looked at Liza with a sullen face “You don’t bother Auntie, how come Li, after all, Auntie is very happy when you come here, next time if you want to come here, just tell Auntie first!”
Liza nodded at Renata’s words with a smile that continued to stick to her beautiful face.
” Come on in ! ” Renata immediately took Liza ‘s hand and entered the house followed by Dilan behind her .
Now they are in the living room , Liza immediately sat on one of the sofas next to Dilan .
” Li , you were here with Dilan first . Auntie wants to get something first ” said Renata , who had just walked off to the kitchen to prepare food for Liza and Dilan .
Liza is already used to this kind of treatment from Renata, she has come here several times, Dilan’s family always treats her well, while in this family Liza can really feel a greater sense of love than what her parents gave her. alone .
