Detective Haezel
FIGURE OUT

"Mas knows, doesn't he?"

"Wajah Charlotte just now May noticed, really like Mas Ezel, yes," Mayra chuckled but instead made Haezel become depressed.

"What is similar? Your feelings may be, May!" Haezel replied, responding to Mayra's speech with a laugh as well but instead sounded stiff.

"Like, Mas! Her chin-like nose looks a lot like Mas Ezel's!" Mayra rubbed Haezel's chin.

"There are also parts like this," continued Mayra again.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence," murmured Haezel a little lazily in response.

"But Zelyra does not look much like Mas Ezel"

"Zelyra looks just like me!" Sergeh Haezel fast.

"Zelyra's hair and eyes are exactly mine. Mami and Papi also said that Zelyra looked like me when I was five!"

"Say Mami, Zelyra is a little girl version of Haezel," Haezel said again revealing Zelyra's resemblance to him.

"Yes, Mom! Aye!"

"May will just tell," Mayra said, inserting her head into Haezel's arms.

****

"Open Head! Is your vacation over?" Randu's voice from across the phone instantly disperse Haezel's daydream. Daydreams about a conversation he had last night with Mayra, where Haezel's wife said Charlotte looked like Haezel.

"Not yet! My cut schedule is still until the day after tomorrow" replied Haezel.

"Then why call? Want to offer a souvenir?"

"Yes! What do you want?" Haezel asked in response to Randu's joke.

"anything. Just don't be the wife"

Praang!

Haezel chuckled when he heard the sound of an object that seemed to be thrown near Randu.

"Lea's raging?" Temptation Haezel on his best friend.

"I'm flabbergasted! Shit!"

"What did you want to say? I have to tame Lea!" .

"Go then. Later I call again," said Haezel at last along with his car that had arrived in front of the store as well as the laundry where Cheryl worked yesterday. Haezel was intending to see Cheryl again to ask for an explanation of all things.

About who Charlotte's real father really is and then about Reynold's whereabouts. And about the package that Cheryl sent to Haezel on behalf of Brother Aileen.

Haezel needs answers to all of these things.

Haezel kept her phone and got out of the car immediately. The man went straight to the shop owner's mother who happened to be on guard.

"Excuse me!" Haezel said his regards.

"What do you want to buy, Mom?" Ask the shop owner's mother who seems to have forgotten Haezel.

"You want to buy cold mineral water, ma'am!"

"All of you want to meet an employee named Cheryl's mother" Haezel said.

"Cheryl didn't come to work today" replied the shopkeeper's mother, leaving a bottle of cold mineral water on Haezel.

"He sick?" Haezel asked worried because Cheryl did look pale yesterday and her body was very thin.

"Not knowing."

"His mother bought milk yesterday and asked about Cheryl too, right?"

"His mother knew Cheryl?" Cecar the shop owner's mother on Haezel.

"Yes, I just remembered that we're old friends" Haezel scratched his non-itchy head.

"Do you know where Cheryl lives?" Haezel asked next with hope.

"At the hostel near the gym." Answer the shop owner.

"Where is that, Mom?" Haezel asked as he frowned.

The shop owner's mother finally described the plan for Haezel from the field to Cheryl's boarding houses which were located quite hidden.

After a bit of pleasantries and thanks, Haezel finally said goodbye and headed straight to Cheryl's boarding house.

****

"Cheryl!" Haezel knocked once again the door of the green-colored boarding room in front of him. It had been over fifteen minutes of Haezel knocking, but there was no answer from within.

Is Cheryl probably leaving?

"Chery! Charlotte!" Call Haezel once more while knocking on the door. But the therapist had no answer.

Haezel let out a rough breath, then chose to turn around and just go home. But just as Haezel opened the car door, her phone rang and Mayra's name was on the phone screen.

"Where's Mas Ezel?"

"It's still on the road. What was? Are you missing?" Haezel got into the car and spoke in a seductive tone to Mayra.

"Still long home?"

"Udah wants to go home. What's the matter, May? You want something to bring?" Tawar Haezel again felt that Mayra's tone was slightly different.

"There's someone looking for Mas Ezel at Aileen's house."

"Who?" Haezel asked slightly muttering, guessing that Siaoa was looking for him.

"Cheryls. He's coming with Charlotte, Mas!"

Haezel was stunned to hear Mayra's reply. The man was at a loss for words and his mind suddenly blanked! Confused what to say to Mayra.

Don't tell me, Cheryl went home to say that Charlotte was Haezel's real son! Then the woman took responsibility from Haezel.

Nah!

No way!

"Mas!" Mayra's reprimand from across the phone instantly disperse Haezel's daydream.

"Yes, May!".

"Be home soon, yes! Cheryl seems to want to talk something important."

"And-"

"And what, May? Cheryl said something?" Sela Haezel is impatient.

"And Cheryl looks sick, Mom!"

Haezel momentarily fell silent.

"Be quick to go home and be careful!"

"Yes! I'm going home now" Haezel said, rushing to start the engine. Then not long ago, the car has driven towards the house of Brother Aileen.

"Mi! The toys Lyra, Kak Tisha, and Abang Kenneth are very much," reported Charlotte who had returned to Cheryl who had been just sitting on the terrace of Aileen's house.

Though both Aileen and Mayra had allowed the woman to enter, Cheryl refused and chose on the terrace while waiting for Haezel to come. Unlike Charlotte who was immediately invited in and played by Zelyra. Even Haezel and Mayra's daughter also looks excited when she finds out Charlotte is visiting Aileen's house with her mother.

"Charlotte, let me use Zelyra's toy first, yeah! Don't be forcibly taken if Zelyra won't lend" Cheryl advised the princess.

"Zelyra is not stingy, Mi! All of Zelyra's toys Charlotte can borrow Zelyra said." Charlotte's story to Cheryl.

"Mommy's not in?" Ask Charlotte again to her mother.

"Mommy, just stay here" Cheryl replied, commenting on a smile.

"Many cakes inside, Mi! Charlotte was milk-fed as well as Zelyra's Mommy." Charlotte's story again on Cheryl who just nodded. Cheryl's heart feels sliced open because for five years she has not been able to meet the needs of her daughter. Even to buy Charlotte's milk, Cheryl had to work hard.

"Charlotte ate just enough and don't spend it all, yeah! Charlotte will have a stomachache" advises Cheryl again to Charlotte who immediately nods. At the same time, Mayra came out of the house with Aileen and immediately approached Cheryl who was still talking to Charlotte.

"Charlotte, don't you play with Lyra and Tisha anymore?" Mayra asked as she extended her hand towards Charlotte, who was now struggling with her mother.

"Come on!" Take Mayra once more.

"Charlotte's in again, can I?" Charlotte's permission on Cheryl who immediately nodded.

"Don't be naughty, yeah!" Cheryl's message before the five-year-old girl was picked up by Mayra and brought into the house.

"Ezel is still on his way" Aileen told Cheryl. Now there are only two women on the porch of the house.

"Cheryl will wait, brother! There are important things that Cheryl must say," Cheryl said while rem*s her two hands are grasping each other.

"Is this about Reynolds?" Guess Aileen whispered a little. Cheryl remained silent and did not answer.

"You know where Reynold is?" Ask Brother Aileen again and Cheryl remains silent.

"Answer, Cheryl!" Force Kak Aileen again along with Haezel's car which finally arrived in the yard of the house. Cheryl stared at the car and waited until Haezel walked out of the driver's door.

Haezel immediately stared intently at Cheryl who was also staring at him.

"I want to talk about one important thing, Ezel!"
