Half Cinderella

Half Cinderella
Now You're No One



Nightfall.


Aoran Residence.


Around 9:00 wib, Aoran was in his study.


Shrinking her face, Aoran was busy reading the documents on her desk, occasionally typing on her laptop screen, her eyes focused unmoved. Slowly Anasya entered, slowly approaching her focused brother. Breathing in, Anasya tried to open the conversation.


"Ehem. Brother." Call gently.


Aoran turned his head and saw Anasya standing up. Anasya looked nervous, her fingers plucked one by one. Anasya had been spoiled for Aoran. But in terms of work affairs, Anasya was never allowed to interfere.


"Dad." Once Aoran turned back to focus on typing.


"I heard that one of Aoran's projects is having problems." Ask slowly, carefully speaking.


"M." Mmm." His words without expression. Aoran continued his work.


"Can't I say something." Anasya said closer. He tried to look calm. "Actually, the people that the sister demands are Batara and Robin, they are her brother and Ardella's lover, Sis" said Anasya slowly, she tried to say that Batara and Robin are family from Ardella, Ardella, family from their own friends. Anasya also stared at Aoran's reaction to her words.


Hearing as Robin was Ardella's lover, Aoran smiled faintly. "Love." Mumbled.


"I know Batara and Robin, they're good people." Saying back.


"It's business, you better not interfere. If they were good people, surely the law wouldn't be wrong." Talking starts to get cold. He looked at Anasya with a hostile look. Aoran gave a reason for calling the law.


"But brother."


"Anasya, Enough." Aoran's gaze began to get angry. Aoran who does not want to involve Anasya in his fight, or bring him into his revenge.


Aoran stood up and left Anasya, she did not want to vent her anger on Anasya who knew nothing. While Anasya stood up, hearing the sound of a clap from Aoran, her heart pounded in fear. Never had he seen his beloved brother snap at him, but today was the first time he was snapped.

Next day.


Ardella went back to the office, she felt uninspired. Almost 10:00 wib, Aoran has not arrived. He waited at work, occasionally looking at the door, hoping it was Aoran.


Anasya gave the news that she could not help him, therefore Ardella was a little anxious. He who is currently feeling that he will not be able to, but for the sake of the loved one Ardella will try it. He will try to talk to Aoran, if he can he will help to prove that his brother and Robin are innocent.


Chequek.


Door opens. Ardella stood up. Look towards the door.


The one who came in and came in was a woman. The voice of the woman's footsteps stepped closer to Ardella, her stature looking resolute. His style of walking showed authority.


"Where are the documents the Boss gave." He said, extending his hand, occasionally the finger was moved.


Ardella recalled Aoran's words, that Parto would help her finish her work when she was absent from the office. When examined by Ardella the document had not been completed at all, everything was still the same when she last worked on it.


" I'm sorry, I haven't finished it yet." Slowly saute. At times the woman seemed annoyed at his words. Ardella also could not do anything, half of it was not completed by Ardella.


The woman was angry. "Are you not working." Said snapping. "Don't the boss tell you to finish it in 3 days." Crashing hard while hitting the table, the woman looked at Ardella in annoyance.


The memory plays back to when Aoran said that he would be helped by Parto, but now why is this situation even happening. "What boss asked for that document." Saut Ardella wants to know more details. He thought there would be an extension of time, but why was he scolded instead.


"Yes. How dare you ask. Do you think you feel great." Baring at Ardella, a hostile look was seen on the woman's face. "Make yourself more useful in this company." The woman exasperated, Once pushing Ardella, a little push, Ardella stepped back. He took the treatment of that woman for granted. He didn't even know what woman he was now facing from the department.


"Tomorrow morning, it must be done." He said he put a finger in Ardella's eye.


"alright. " She said slowly.


When the woman left, Ardella fell to her feet on the floor. During his work, he never had any employees bother him. Am I now of no use. Ardella's feelings were currently confused.


He got back up, taking his glasses, Ardella focused, quickly moving her hand. Even for lunch he forgets.


***


One by one the employees went home. When Ardella realized to look around, outside also felt silent, the light bulb had partially extinguished. He looked at Aoran's chair, then shifted his gaze to the computer screen. Ardella did not have time to think about the reason Aoran did not go to work.


"A little more, Ardella's spirit, you can." Say it to himself.


Deadlines. 11.00 Wib, night.


"Huh, it's finally done too." He said in relief, now all the office lights are out. The lights of the room were lit. Ardella glanced at her watch, around 11:30 wib. Ardella was a little creepy because she only stayed at the office in the middle of the night. Ardella who felt sore began to stretch her arm muscles, her fingers were very stiff, slowly Ardella flicked her fingers, trying to make her body comfortable. He looked back outside. He heard a voice.


Rushing to tidy up the table, Ardella went out, she grabbed her bag, then held a pen, her hands slightly wary.


Slowly he opened the door. "It's so dark." Mumbled. He reached into his bag, then picked up his phone and turned on his cell phone flashlight.


With the flashlight of Ardella's cell phone back on her feet, she walked quickly. Feeling less fast, Ardella ran towards the elevator, her hand hitting the button many times.


There's a guy behind Ardella, a leg coming close to Ardella's collar.


No,, no, no, no.


It's getting closer, and it's getting closer.


Ardella tightened her grip on the strap of her bag, her hands very tight, her mind turned to the weird stuff.


"Who's there." Shouted Ardella turned his head, and directed his pen forward, with all his might he pierced the figure that made him disturbed, the pen in his hand was used as a means of self-protection.


"Boss." Ardella said when she saw Aoran standing in front of her, and her hand pierced Aoran's chest with a pen.


"You think with a tool this small can protect you." His face slapped Ardella's hand. The elevator opens, Aoran goes in through Ardella. "Are you not coming in. " Janya saw Ardella who was still dumb and silent.


"Ah, sorry." Ardella said, straight into the elevator. In a gripping air lift, Aoran does not speak, while Ardella is millirik towards Aoran. He wondered inwardly, why today Aoran did not come to the office. And why is it midnight like this he's in the office.


Being outside the building, Aoran immediately went into his car, he immediately started the car engine and left Ardella alone. Ardella who was left behind was stunned. Seeing Aoran's car has driven far.


"What is this, why is my heart sad." Ardella's voice said.


Aoran was in his car, glancing at Ardella from the rearview mirror, Ardella looked smaller, and gradually disappeared from his view. He stopped on the road. Her heart could not leave Ardella alone.


Aoran from the morning did not come to the office, she did not tell Ardella that she was having a meeting with a business partner. And to be honest, Aoran asked the female employee to come see Ardella and collect her duties.


Teaching Ardella a little lesson, Aoran was a little happy. But when Ardella had not come home, even until midnight, she was a little anxious, and therefore she returned to the office to see the state of Ardella.


Just then he stood long before the door, he still saw his room bright. From instinct he did not want to enter, but from the instinct of his heart he wanted to go to meet Ardella. Logic and heart to argue. And Aoran's decision followed his logic. Makes Ardella a little troubled. At this time in the car it happened, between the instinct of logic and the heart to argue. The result was the same, he did not want to drive Ardella home.


Ardella saw the streets were so quiet, she glanced at her watch, It's late like this, where there's a car going. Thought in the heart.


"Huh, the best way now is to walk." Mumbled.


His steps began to move, once in a while he stopped to rest. Aoran looked at Ardella from the prank, following her slowly.


An hour and a half Ardella walked from her home company. He was so relieved that he arrived safely. Everyone in the house had fallen asleep, except for Edward who was still awake and waiting for Ardella to come home.


When the door was opened, Edward sat on the bed, his eyes pointing to the door.


Edward smiled when he saw Ardella tantenya enter. "Auntie." Call Edward running and hugging Ardella.


The feeling of seeing Edward waiting for her, she hugged Edward tightly, her tears falling from joy. His tiredness instantly dissipated as Edward hugged him.


While Aoran was still in his car, he followed Ardella home. He was still quietly parked in front of Ardella's house, his eyes looking at Ardella's house.
