Dug!
Rebekah's heart seemed to be beating again after she froze knowing who actually the janitor is. Yes, the time was like stopped earlier, Rebekah was really very surprised to see the figure of this young woman.
"S-Susan ...?" said Rebekah who is still frozen in her position, she also still stared at each other with the figure she last met 2.5 years ago.
Susan Roberts, one of the 8 managers of the Terang orphanage, is one year younger than Rebekah, they had known each other since they were both still kids. Tim told Rebekah that there had been no news about her since 3 months ago, but who would have thought that Rebekah would meet her in this place.
The two of them had not met since Rebekah's mission to marry James Green began about 2.5 years ago, but the two of them still recognize each other, because their current look doesn't have much difference from how each other's look the last time the two met, from the tips of their hair to the tips of their toes, they are still very much like how they were 2.5 years ago.
"Y-you ... you're Susan, are you?! You're Susan!" continued Rebekah, who is still feeling shocked to see the figure she is seeing right now, she said this while touching Susan's shoulders and shaking them.
Unlike Rebekah who is already moving, Susan is still completely frozen, her gaze is still glued to her friend, who is just like a sister to her, she hasn't even blinked since her face met Rebekah's.
"Hey ... you ... you're Susan, right?!" Rebekah repeated her question while grabbing Susan's left hand with both her trembling hands, she then holds her best friend's left hand very emotionally, her voice also sounded a little trembled earlier, indicating that at this time the girl is trying to hold back her tears.
"Susan, are you all right? Where have you been all this time? Why didn't you give us any news for three months? We ... we are very worried about you and miss you so much," said Rebekah who finally could not hold back her tears, her tears then dripped from her pair of eyes.
Rebekah became very emotional not for no reason, all this time, she, Tim, Alan, and Laura thought that actually something bad had happened to Susan, considering that Susan's last mission was actually a very high-risk mission, but here she is now, meeting her best friend in a place that she did not expect would be the location of this moment that touched her heart deeply happened.
"Susan, why are you silent? Say something, answer me," said Rebekah, her face wet because of her tears. The look of worries became clearer on the girl's face when Susan didn't say a word, she just remained silent, staring at Rebekah in shock.
Rebekah, who is 8 cm taller than her best friend who has curly black hair, then gently touches her right cheek with her right hand because Susan's eyes are getting teary, possibly the effect of her not blinking at all since a minute ago, or it could be because she is going to cry.
But soon after, Susan brushed Rebekah's right hand away from her face very hard, shocking Rebekah and make her feel a little hurt because she didn't think Susan would do something like that to her. So far, Susan has never hurt Rebekah, both physically and in terms of words, even for the smallest thing, this is really the first time she has hurt Rebekah. Rebekah even took her left hand from Susan's left because of this.
"Get away from me, you whore!" Susan cried out to Rebekah with fury, she finally blinked her eyes, making her tears begin to dripping in her fury.
