Chapter 16: Friend?

That day Roger is silently looking outside the window of their recording studio. He light up his ciggie and exhale the smoke and looked again from a distance. Then suddenly he heard somebody entered the studio...it's Freddie with John and Brian.

" My! Why you're so early today! Kinda weird!" Freddie  said to him.

He didn't mind Freddie and still looking outside the studio.

"Freddie is right...it is very uncommon for you to be here so early...is there anything happened?" Brian asked.

"No...nothing...it's just i woke up early and i decide to go here...there is nothing for me to do at home". Roger still looking at the window.

"My! Why are you talking but not looking at us? You really are weird today!" Freddie annoyingly said.

Roger didn't said anything..still looking at the window.

"So...as all things are clear now and we are all saved by the press conference yesterday...how is our 'husband to be' blondie!" Freddie asked teasingly.

"Fuck off Freddie! i am not on the mood to catch up your silly jokes!" by that time he looks at Freddie and the band as well and feeling annoyed.

Freddie saw something on Roger's forehead even he covered it with his hair.

" Hey! Why do you have a plaster on your forehead? May i take a look?!" Freddie said holding his head.

" No..it's nothing! Don't mind it!"

"You know me dear Rog! The more i am curious, the more i really want to know! So let me see!" Freddie hold again his head to face him .

" No Freddie! I-"

Roger didn't finished what he is about to say as Freddie removed the plaster on his forehead. And they saw a small lump on his forehead.

" Is that a lump?"

Freddie burst into laughter. Brian and Deaky slightly laugh too. While Roger covered his forehead with his hand and slightly bite his lower lip.

"What did you do this time.huh? Banged your head on the wall?" Freddie continues to laugh. Brian and Deaky too are now laughing.

"Go! And laugh as long as you want!" Roger is annoyed and looked again outside the window.

" Ok.. i will not make fun of you anymore...but tell me... Why do you have a lump on your forehead!?" Freddie asked.

"That fuckin' girl... made it!"

" You mean... " Ms. Strawberry Cheeks" made it? But how?"

Roger didn't say any word for he is really pissed on what she did to him.

"Hey! Rog! What's your favorite pet again?" Freddie asked.

"Sheep...why did you asked?" Roger suddenly felt obscured.

"... And you said you are wrestling sheeps right?..maybe you should know how to wrestling "rams" too! For "Ms.Strawberry Cheeks" is like a ram!"

Freddie once again burst into laughter!

"...but you know Roger...i think Jilliane will not going to do it without a cause." Brian said.

" I do not know why she did it!? I just told her that ever since i met her my life became a complete mess...and she is a jinx!" Roger said.

" ...so that is why!...no wonder now she gave you a headbutt!" John said.

"...and now...Rog is paying the price!" Freddie said and once again laughed.
