Aretta & Secrets

Conscious of Fainting

I'mawakened. Unlike usual, this time I woke up without a trigger. No noise, alarms, or birdsong. I woke up in bed. Although it felt different but still comfortable and somehow felt very familiar, as if I had been in this place before. I stared at the ceiling and found a fancy chandelier decor. My mind branched out and immediately guessed, about how I could be in this place. My memory goes back to the incident, but I was reluctant to ask because this room was so quiet and again, I felt very safe to be here.

The room curtain opened and a gentle breeze blew through the open window. Even so, the atmosphere here is still very quiet. Several silhouettes of sunlight radiated onto the carpet and provided light in this room. I know it's at noon because of the sound of vehicles connecting with each other.

"Aretta's." That deep, manly voice caught my attention. I turned my head, then grimaced as my neck creaked a little.

"Slowly." The voice came back. My vision was still a little blurry due to the scorching sunlight, but I recognized the owner of the voice. I can guess, it must be Aidan. The figure towered and stood in the doorway. Aidan leaned against the wall leisurely. He wore khaki-colored shorts with a casual t-shirt and flip-flops. I recognized the black hair that had split sideways of hers, as well as the scent of cologne she was using.

Aidan stood with great confidence, but the look on his face did not match the faith he was in. He looked worried as he looked at me who was still lying on the bed.

"Don't move much" he suggested as he stepped in to kneel near me. I remained in my position, lying on my back comfortably and supported by several pillows behind my head and shoulders as a support tool.

"Do you remember what happened?" tanyakanya. He seemed to be checking on me and trying to look for signs of injury or memory loss. But unfortunately I remember very clearly the incident I had just experienced.

I nodded my head and my neck creaked again. The incident in which I was tortured was something I could never forget, but it was fine because I had promised myself that this was the last time.

I smiled as I clasped her hand, "I feel very happy," I said reassuringly as I calmed her down if I was okay.

"How can you be all right?" Aidan took his hand out of my grasp. He walked awkwardly beside me.

"Your own mama can beat you unconscious and bleed. I shouldn't have believed that when you said you were okay. You have to go to the police if you don't go to KPAI. Ah right, KPAI-"

"Don't!" I cut the sentence quickly, "you should know that this is my problem, and if you report to KPAI, then, I will stay in the orphanage because I am not old enough to live alone plus Gio's condition is not stable and Papa that I can not tell you about this. I don't want Mama to take revenge." Aidan seemed to be sighing heavily but he remained silent. Maybe hearing my words made her think again, "I wish it was the last time I saw Mama" I said, rubbing her shoulder gently, "i'm free now."

I stayed in that beautiful bed all day but after getting a long enough lecture from Aidan, I had to be willing to go back to sleep and not move. Surely I will do it with pleasure, then after that I immediately fell asleep in comfort in his bedroom while breathing the scent of himself left in this room. I fell asleep for a long time and woke up at lunchtime. The man greeted me while sitting on the window seat. He's already prepared my food on the tray and put it on the table.

When he found out that I was awake, Aidan's reflexes worked with a splinter. He went to help me and also put a tray on my lap to make it easier for me to eat.

"I have a few questions for you" I said for a moment. I was very curious to know what happened even though it was actually very easy to guess. However, asking directly to people who know is also more satisfying.

"How am I supposed to be here?" I asked again, Aidan had not opened his mouth to speak, I had already cut, "it might be better if you just tell me what has happened since I fainted." Aidan nodded slowly, I could see his slightly stiffened shoulders. Was the incident last night so severe that he wanted to forget it? But I can't stop here because I really want to know what happened.

"OKAY. But I'm not going to tell you the details, "no, "that night, Gio called me and he asked me for help in a panic. I came straight to your house and there I saw you lying on the floor with Gio beside you. Your mother was tied up at the foot of the bed, but what made me angry was, blood splattered on the floor. Because it is certain that it has you because Gio does not look injured at all. I'm scared, but I'm trying hard so I can come to you.

"Gio explained everything that happened that night, although it is not clear but I can catch what he meant. I didn't waste my time and immediately took you to a place far from your Mama's reach. At first I was the same Gio take you downstairs to your house.

"Maybe it sounds silly because now you yourself are in an amazing fit. I'm very grateful for that, but it really happened. You're the same Gio who knows best. So because of that incident, Gio sentusin made it straight out of the house without thinking anymore. After I compress the wound and clean you, the two of us also while removing your belongings from the house. Fortunately your goods fit in my car with Gio, so we do not need to call the services of the freight forwarder. After a short discussion, we decided that he was responsible for finishing your things in the new house while I was in charge of your business. So I'm taking you to my house."

Aidan's explanation was really long and clear, I didn't think one question would follow all this time. But there's another one that's stuck.

"How much do you want to tell Mama?" He chuckles cynically. Maybe a little did not expect me to ask the person who made me sprawl like this.

"We untied him and left him on the floor. Gio also carried his belt because it was his favorite thing." I chuckle at hearing it. Typical Gio once. The man did not want his belongings to be used for something unimportant.

Aidan asked me to go back to eating and I nodded, but there was still a lot I wanted to ask the man. This has more to do with why I was brought here than the room I used to use.

"Why am I in your room?" he took a small breath nervously, but quickly replied. Aidan said if his room is a place that gasket close to the entrance and again the bed is also not too high. About the bed memabg right, but unfortunately the position of the room is not right.

I just nodded not wanting to speculate much, anyways like this I could enjoy the smell of Aidan left here.

I went back to eating and she also gave me pain medication and water. After putting it all down, Aidan asked me again to go back to sleep. I nodded as he was also still faithfully waiting for me here.

I was already comfortable with my position when I suddenly heard two more male voices. I looked directly at Aidan but the man just flicked his shoulder no matter what.

At the same time, I heard footsteps approaching and entered the room. Turns out it was Gio, I smiled as a greeting for him. He walked over and sat down on an empty chair. There are still tears in her eyes. He also has no regrets. Just like before, she now also looks like crying but still trying to maintain her sanity.

"I'm sorry Aretta! I should have walked out from there more quickly. I should have put all my strength into it. I-i"
