"Um Lando?" Julia said. She sound a bit sad and her voice sound so low.

"Yeah?" Lando said, looking at her with the corner of his eye without moving himself. "I want to say something". Julia said.

"What does she want at the middle of the night?" Lando is not trying to be rude, never at all, especially Julia, he just wanted to say good night and be a bit romantic. He's try at least so that's good.

Lando thought him and Julia just gonna have a random chat before going to bed. Like telling childhood stories, in the same time they get to know each other. But all of them is wrong and none of them happen. Julia is sitting. Sounds serious.

He can hear the bed sheets sounds behind him. It's obvious for him that Julia is sitting. So Lando turn around from his shoulder, and laying his head properly on the pillow, looking at Julia with full confusion. Many questions starting to struck his head, something is not right.

Lando noticed that, before she start talking, she take a deep breath, and interview her own hand together. Sometimes she's fidgeting. Lando can found all her movements in one time. But don't get it wrong, he's trying to make sure if she's okay.

"I'm sorry". Sorry? That's only? Without details? Of course Lando will ask her back. "Sorry for what?" Lando ask, trying to find a good position to look at her face. Julia saw that, makes her a bit happy when Lando caring for her.

"You've done so much to me, but I treat you like a trash, you deserve better. So I'm sorry. I gotta be honest, all my thanks to you is fake. I feel so bad. Please forgive me". She said and explained everything as much as she could.

Lando have no words to say. Yes, speechless. Instead of that, he feel so disappointed and sad. It means, what Julia say and did to him before this, is fake. Fake? Why?  But Lando is patience person.

And he know that Julia have a problem. He understand her situation, what she's going through however they just met. Lando get closer to her and pull her on a hug.

A very gentle, soft, kind hug. Automatically, Julia start to cry slowly. Second by second, Lando starting to hear that she's sobbing quietly.

He hate seeing someone he really love is crying. So that's why when Lando saw her walk away from her dad, with tears streaming, he feel so uneasy.

With full of love, Lando rub her back and hug her a little bit tighter. Julia feel so comfortable. She got all the heat, she let out all her emotions, it feels like she's finally free. Half of it.

After 3 minutes on a hug, Julia break it politely. Julia quickly swipe her tears away to hide her ugly crying face. But it's not at all for Lando. "Thanks Lando, I'm so sorry". Julia said with full of emotions. Lando wasn't sure if he should do this.

Before he start talking, he inhale and exhale. "Julia, really, it's ok. We were strangers, that's how it happens. It's not your fault, nobody's fault. I understand you". Lando said,  stroking her cheek gently to wipe some small tears that still falling.

Julia nod. And there's actually another thing that Julia wanted to say. "You said we were strangers before this". Julia look up from the bed sheets.

Lando fill his head with confusion and scared. "Did I say something wrong?" He thought, scratching his neck.

"Um.. yeah?" Lando said with a bit sweats on the forhead. "So now, I accept you as a friend now. Stuff is fixed, we have a lot of connection, you're nice, caring, and I trust you". Julia said. No lies, no joke.
