Almera's Gigolo
38. Pov Alex 4.
The jewelry exhibition of aunt Rosi Kemala.
why did Almera come here too, I thought that Almera had never visited a place like this, but once, I muttered in my heart.
I deliberately tried to avoid his gaze during the exhibition ceremony, even Aunt Rosi who was standing next to me until looking at me because I began to get nervous about leaving the exhibition tonight.
"what's wrong, Lex?"
"may I go now"
"why, there's someone you want to avoid"he asked directly into the core of the problem.
"i just feel, I'm not comfortable being a auntie tonight"
"why, because of the woman" she said pointing at Almera with her chin.
"i'd better get out now" I said straight away from him without giving him the explanation he wanted.
Aunt Rosi just squinted at me leaving her in the crowd.
I stood in the balcony of the building which was some distance from the event, I looked at the night sky of the capital that seemed to be flickering by various lights.I turned on a cigarette hoping to feel better after sucking it.
Long time I stood there, so it did not feel one cigarette was up I smoked.
I'd better get away from the exhibition without seeing Almera, I thought then stepped up to mean back to the exhibition room.I don't want him to think I have a special relationship with aunt Rosi, as he thought all along,even if he doesn't tell me directly.
But just now I intended to say goodbye to aunt Rosi I was surprised by the screams of Anggela who tried to hold Almera's body sideways,looking at it reflexively I immediately ran to catch his body so as not to fall to touch the floor.
"Almera" cried out with worry, but seeing many important people in the exhibition hall, aunt Rosi immediately ordered me to bring her body to the health room in the building.
"i will take you straight to the hospital "my words in a very worried tone.
"Alex, Pliss, don't get a lot of reporters outside right now if you take her to the hospital now my reputation could be ruined"
"but, he suddenly fainted what if something happened to him!"answer me angrily.
"we'll get Handoko's doctor here right now but don't take her to the hospital until my show's over"
Seeing the face of aunt Rosi pleading with me I couldn't bear it,moreover, I see he has told his secretary to call doctor Handoko who is a famous doctor who is often used by artists and businessmen as a personal doctor including by aunt Rosi herself ,I finally gave up on taking Almera to the hospital.
After Handoko's doctor told us that Almera's condition was okay, he fainted just because of fatigue I could only feel calm.
But there was a message coming in from my Scot bodyguard, who said that before Almera fainted she had a serious conversation with aunt Rosi.
Immediately I approached aunt Rosi who was still standing in the corner of the room.
"aunty let's talk outside" I said, taking her out of the room,and told Anggela there was something I had to do for a while outside.Angela understood what I meant so she just nodded her head watching me come out with aunt Rosi.
Arriving in the break room without wasting time I immediately asked aunt Rosi.
"what aunty did, to the point of making Almera, so shocked that she fainted"to the point.
"what do you mean, I didn't do anything" he replied, looking angry.
"then the aunt must have said something so sensitive that it surprised her" I asked again.
"what right aunt said that" I said furiously and involuntarily clasped the middle-aged woman's shoulder loudly.
"Alex, get off the pain" he said with a pale face.
"tante has no right to say about the origin of the necklace that Almera wore around her neck" I said, releasing the grip of my hand on her shoulder.
"what right do you forbid me to tell him," he replied in an angry tone to me.
"because the necklace is his"
"you mean I don't understand, Lex"
"Margareta was my mother, and the necklace Amora wore back then should have been hers"
"so.."tante Rosi looked very surprised to hear what I just said.
"yes, I am the son of Margaret and the sister of Amora".
instantly aunt Rosi hit me and hugged me tightly, I could feel her tears wetting the shirt I was wearing.
Seeing him cry bitterly while hugging me tightly, I immediately returned his embrace while trying to calm him after a while finally crying rante Rosi was subsided.Has hold my hand tightly while staring at my face with the gaze of a mother who missed her child so much.
"Alex, I'm glad I'm still given the chance to meet you, sorry to find you just now"he said with eyes that returned glazed because touched by the fact that I was the son of his close friend who was thought to have also died in the accident.
I don't know what to say to the woman in front of me, my feelings are so mixed right now, and my throat is choked.
"aunty,." I said in a raucous voice
"don't say anything Lex, that's why Smith would love to know this"
"I've met Grandpa"
"really?, thank goodness then you don't know how much he lost to the death of your father, mother and brother Amora, not only that Smith's situation I was also devastated at that time,I can't believe two women who are very important to me, go together" she said with her eyes glazed back as she said that".
"yes" I replied, looking blankly ahead.
"you must have suffered a lot during this time" he said as he gently stroked my cheek.
"it used to be, but as time went on I felt better, as auntie sees now" I tried to smile at her.
"yes, you're a strong man, so how can Ceo of the Wijaya group be the actual owner of Margaret's first necklace"
"it's a long story until I find out that she's the young girl I met at Granpa's farm when I was 10".
so I'm sorry to you for getting you in trouble right now" she said with a guilty expression"
"no aunt papa, I did mean to say it but there's no time to say it yet"
"it's fine that you're still worried about her condition that you'd better take her to the hospital" she said, telling me to go back to the health room to see how Almera is doing now.
But just as I was coming out of the dugout where my aunt and Rosi were talking, I saw Almera walking out of the infirmary with an Angel hand in hand.
