A Flavor

Feel guilty

“You must eat a lot of feet to get well.. You don't want me to sip so you can't get sick.” Said Alesia while feeding Leon who was just silent and sitting leaning on the bed.

“I don't want to bother taking care of you brother. I just don't want you to get sick.. You are strong.” Alesia again.

Leon smiled faintly hearing that. Alesia was so painstakingly treating him. Starting from compressing, replacing the shirt that Leon wears with a plain white shirt, to feed Leon.

“Iya.. I don't hurt Ale.. I just sleepy.”

“Hhmm.”

Alesia. Maybe Leon did not want to be considered weak because of his pain so Leon always said he was just sleepy.

“Iya.. You just lack sleep.. But.. Why did you get less sleep? You didn't sleep well last night?”

Leon swallowed the food he had chewed. There is no way Leon would answer yes. Alesia will ask why and what.

“Eem.. Maybe because of ketapek and work times well.. Sometimes you can't sleep if it's past 12.”

Leon wasn't completely lying. Leon will be difficult to close his eyes if it is past midnight.

I'm sorry I haven't been honest until now baby.

“Oohh. so.” Alesia believes.

Leon spends the food painstakingly fed by alesia. Leon was actually already very sultry with his own lies. But honestly for now also not necessarily alesia can understand.

“This time you rest again, brother. You can't go where the pokonya.” is

“Iya darling.” Nod Leon with a sweet smile on his lips.

Finished feeding Leon alesia out of his room with a tray where on the tray there are plates and glasses empty and Leon.

Doesn't Leon remember who Mr Bramono really is? Brother Leon does not remember the relationship of Aunt Santi and master bramono first?

Alesia was confused as well. Bramono said he was married to Santi. And bramono is also part of his mother's past.

What is the reason they separated? Did master bramono hurt auntie? Or maybe the other way around?

Alesia shook her head. Too many questions were lodged in his brain. Too much is also something that Alesia wants to know so that alesia feels dizzy herself.

“Already, anyway it's none of my business.” Alesia's disconnect then passed from her bedroom doorstep and Leon.

Week pass.

Santi continues to be cold to Rico who continues to be loyal to accompany him wherever he goes. Although Santi continued to refuse and tell him to leave, but not the least Rico moved from beside the beautiful widow.

“Rico please you go from before me now. You know what not? You it makes me ashamed of your appearance.”

Rico bowed his head staring at his own appearance. Everything Rico wears is not expensive. Everything Rico bought at a cheap price. For Rico as long as everything is appropriate he wears it does not matter even about the price though.

“So my aunt wants me to look like what?”

Santi clucking. Santi is comfortable being near Rico actually. Santi feels unselfish and always protected when Rico is next to him. But Santi could not get rid of his fear and rahanya. Rico was good but Santi couldn't believe it. Rico would've hurt her, too.

“I want you to disappear from my life.” Santi replied firmly.

“If it's aunty's will I'm really sorry because I can't.”

Santi sighed. Since morning Rico has been in his room. Rico keeps her company and Rico keeps looking at her while Santi is focusing on his laptop.

“Rico I ask good both with you. Or me.”

“Or what aunt? Aunty wants to call a security guard to drag me out of here?” Sela Rico relax.

Santi narrowed both his eyes looking at Rico annoyed. Rico is so stubborn now.

Rico got up from his seat on the sofa across from Santi's desk and slowly walked up to Santi. Rico himself is confused why it feels so strong on Santi. Even stronger than his feelings on alesia first.

Rico sits himself on Santi's table. Casually grab the yellow map and Rico opens it.

“About mr bramono, what is the relationship between aunt and her?”

Santi. Santi then melengos. Santi did not want to discuss anything about the man who had hurt him so deeply. Because it will all remind Santi of the pain he had felt.

“You don't need to know what about me and him.” Santi said coldly.

Rico shook his head slowly. Rico feels he has to know everything because Rico loves Santi.

“Did he ever hurt aunty?” Rico asked trying to pry information.

Both of Santi's hands clenched. The shadow of his past pain began to swirl in his mind. Santi's heart was in pain again. His chest was crowded with water that had inundated both of his eyelids.

“Tante, whatever it is I will listen. I can take it. And I will try to do everything best for aunt.”

BRAKK !!

Santi kicked off his desk full of emotion. With both glassy eyes Santi cast his glare at Rico who was shocked by what Santi had just done.

“Tante..”

“I told you you don't need to know anything about me and that guy. You are only a child and you will never be able to understand.” Press Santi restraining her emotions.

Rico swallowed his saliva. There was a wound behind the sharp gaze that Santi placed on him.

“You're just poor Rico. You don't deserve to be next to me. You shouldn't be here either. Because what? Because your cheap shoes litter the floor of my room.”

Rico held his breath for a moment. Rico believes Santi didn't really intend to insult him. Santi was just trying to get Rico away from him.

“Then I will remove my shoes aunt.” Rico's smile was calm.

Rico got off the desk Santi then immediately removed the shoes and black socks he was wearing.

Santi who saw that was snarling. Without Santi noticing her tears dripping and sliding freely on her tapered cheeks formed a tributary.

Lord.. Strengthen me.. Strengthen my heart..

Rico who saw Santi reluctantly looked at him smiled. Rico believes Santi is a good woman. Santi is a great woman who can hide her kindness with her judes mask. And that's something that not everyone can do.

“What else from the stuff that stuck in my body that made this room dirty? I'll take it off aunt. I also don't mind cleaning this room if aunt wants.”
