A Flavor
Like waiting for a bomb to explode
Alesia looked at Leon who was devouring her dinner. Alesia was still curious whether Leon did not remember who bramono was or did know but did not want to tell.
“You why the hell look at me so noisy? Is there something wrong with me? Or do you want to say something?”
Alesia sighed. Somehow Alesia always felt Leon wasn't completely honest with her.
“Sayang..”.
Leon took off the fork and spoon he was holding and grabbed onto Alesia's hand and held it gently.
Alesia was silent for a moment. Everything really confused him.
“Kak.. You really don't remember anything about Auntie?”
Leon's hand was immediately loosened. Alesia's question will definitely make Leon come back to lie if he does not honestly answer about Bramono and Santi.
“Eem.. Why?” Ask Leon clumsy.
“Yes I just feel a little worried aja.”
“Worry? About Auntie?”
“Not only about aunt. But about me too mr. bramono.”
Leon was puzzled by the answer given by Alesia.
“A week ago exactly the day you had a fever Mr. Bramono came here. Me and my sister met him. And you know what she said to me?”
Leon's heart was beating very fast. Leon was so afraid that Bramono said something to alesia.
“What?”
“Master bramono said he was married to aunty. He also told me to call him om.”
Leon grabbed a glass of water next to the plate containing half the meal and then downed it until half.
“Kak.. try you remember remember everything.” Alesia Pinta.
Leon was confused as to what to say at this moment. Alesia's worries were the same as her worries. It's just that the thought of alesia is not up to santi who will hate him even more if tau bramono ever has a relationship with his mother.
“I'll try to remember everything Ale.”
That's all Leon can say. Leon did not want to add any more lies to alesia.
Alesia silence. I don't know, Alesia felt Leon wasn't telling the truth.
“Already.. Don't think too much. You eat a lot well let Dede baby healthy.” Leon's smile was trying to calm down.
Bramono, what is your purpose in saying that to my wife.
“But brother.. I wonder why Mr. Bramono and aunt separated. Did master bramono hurt auntie? Or vice-versa? Aunty who hurt mr. bramono.”
Leon couldn't answer a single question
it was created by alesia. It's all too hard to explain even though Leon has answers.
“But aunt looks very dislike mr. bramono. Aunty even asked Rico for help so that Rico wanted to pretend to be his partner in front of the bramono. Does that mean Mr bramono hurt auntie?”
Leon shook his head slowly. His wife's mind was too far and long in responding to something. Leon really doesn't know what to do and says what now.
“Can be..” Reply Leon lirih.
Alesia sighed. If it is true that bramono who hurt santi most likely will hate him if he knows that bramono is part of his mother's past.
No, aunty can't know anything about mom.. Aunt can't know..
Leon took a breath. His hand again grasped the silent hand of alesia with various thoughts about santi and bramono.
“Yeah.. Don't think of anything unimportant. Your health is the most important dear.” said Leon softly.
“No importance sister said? this is very important to me, brother.. Aunty would hate me if she knew I was the son of a woman who had been close to Mr. Bramono. Maybe even aunty will assume Mr. Bramono is my father. And it's not impossible also aunty will consider my mother a woman who is not right. Like he rated me for my profession first.”
“Alesia.. But it's all over. Aunty and bramono's farewell has nothing to do with mom.. And auntie has no reason to drag you in that trouble.”
“You don't understand.. I really want to be close to aunty. I want aunty to love me as much as a aunt loves you.. I want to really compact rich aunt and pingkan first.”
Oh jesus.. His desires are the same as mine..
“I know Ale.. But all of that there is a process.”
“Until when? Aunty never wanted to accept me sister. He always antagonizes me. And now that auntie started out well Mr. Bramono emerged with two statuses namely ex-husband aunt and the person who was once close to my mother.. It would be very bad brother for me and aunt.”
Leon took a breath. What Alesia feared was what Leon feared as well. Santi may hate alesia again if you know the closeness of bramono and mother le first.
“Alesia, everything will be fine. Auntie won't hate you anymore. Auntie love you. And aunt also cares about you.”
“Ngak.. This time I can't believe you. Everything is clear. Aunty would hate me even more if she knew everything.”
Both of alesia's eyes were glazed as she stared at Leon. Alesia really will not be able to calm down.
“Then don't let auntie know.. That way everything will be fine.”
Alesia's tears trickled down but alesia quickly wiped them away.
“That's the same as we hide the carcass of kak that at any time will definitely be smelled also by aunt.”
Leon swallowed his saliva. I don't know why Leon is so good at lying. Leon even told Alesia not to tell her aunt about all the truth.
“Then what should we do?” Ask Leon who can no longer think long.
“I don't know either. It felt like I was waiting for seconds for a bomb to explode and destroy everything.”
Leon felt a tightness in his chest. What alesia said was like an insinuation to her. Leon also seemed to be waiting for the second of the explosion of a bomb that will destroy everything also ravaged his heart and love.
Why does it feel so crowded? Is it possible that Alesia would also hate me if she knew everything? Will Alesia stay away from me if I know I've been lying to her all this time?
Alesia took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Alesia would not be able to dodge if everything was open. Santi will definitely come back to hate him and maybe even more deeply hate him.
“Kak.. Do you also hate Mr bramono so much?”
Leon shook his head without saying anything. Leon was reluctant to answer because he was reluctant to continue to add great power to the bomb that would definitely explode someday. I don't know when Leon can't predict it. But Leon knew the bomb would destroy everything.
Leon grabbed another hand of alesia so that both hands of alesia were now in the soft grip of his big hand.
“Whatever happens later. And whatever you'll know later you have to believe one thing Ale.. I love you so much, I love you so much.”
