I choose Your Heart

PHD (25)

Lanzi went into her room and heard Triana vomit again. Lanzi immediately went inside the bathroom. 

"Darling, throwing up again?" ask Lanzi. 

"Hem," Triana replied briefly. He stepped in limply. Lanzi helped get Triana to bed. 

"Honey, you sure, don't need to see a doctor?" asked Lanzi while enveloping Triana who was already lying on her bed. Triana shook her head slowly.

"Yes, already. Go sleep! I want to take a shower first" Lanzi said as she stroked Triana's cheek. 

Lanzi went inside the bathroom and washed her body under the shower faucet. After taking a bath, she put on her sleeping pajamas and lay down beside Triana and hugged Triana and closed her eyes. Slowly but surely, they began to fall asleep and wander in dreamland.

The Aurel house. 

Aurel's uncle and aunt came home in the middle of the night drunk. 

*tock! Geck! Geck! 

Aurel came out of his room, still wearing the black dress he had been wearing this afternoon, to take his father's body to its final resting place. Aurel opened the door and they walked into the house with a stagger.

"Does Uncle not pity Uncle's brother? My dad is Uncle's brother! But Uncle could have abandoned Papa at his last moment, Uncle was cruel!" Aurel snapped behind them. They stopped walking and turned to face Aurel. 

"Who said your uncle doesn't feel sorry for your father? Your uncle is very sorry for your father, that's why Uncle is happy because he is dead, hahaha," said Edi, he laughed loudly.

The sound of Edi's loud laughter seemed to rattle the entire house. Fariz, who was sleeping, woke up. Hearing such a loud laughter from the living room, Fariz got up and walked out of his room. From upstairs, Fariz saw a crying Aurel sobbing silently. Aurel stood in the middle of the door, staring hatefully at his uncle and aunt. 

"Now, you will not be able to seize all of Aditya's wealth. Because he's dead, so the will is legal. In the will it says all the property will be given to my husband, aka your uncle, hahaha," said Olivia. She then took her husband into the room. 

Aurel's body slumped and sat on the cold black marble floor. He sobbed withholding his voice with all his might so that no one would hear his cries. 

But without Aurel realizing it, Fariz again caught him crying. Fariz came down from the top floor and approached Aurel who covered his mouth with a palm. He crouched down with one leg bent and the other leg's knee on the floor.

"Aurel," call Fariz slowly.

Aurel raised his face, looking at Fariz's face before him. Aurel stood up and ran into his room. Fariz closed and locked the door. He went after Aurel to his room. Fariz knocked on the door several times, as there was no answer, Fariz turned the doorknob. 

"Not locked," Fariz murmured in a soft voice. He then walked in and saw Aurel sitting on the floor. His back was leaning against the edge of the bed. Aurel sobbed while clutching tightly photos of her father and mother and herself, as a child.

"Papa, hyks hyks, why do you also live in Aurel, pa. Papa knows, Aurel only has papa" Aurel said sobbing.

Fariz approached Aurel and sat down beside Aurel. Fariz sat leaning back, straightening his legs, following Aurel's sitting pose. Aurel didn't budge or look at Fariz. When Fariz spoke to him, Aurel turned his head.

"I don't know, what's going on here. All I know now is, you need a place to lean. You can borrow my shoulder, or maybe my chest, if you need a place to lean on. I'm ready to be a place to lean on for you" Fariz said, staring fixedly at Aurel's two beautiful eyes. The eyes were so puffy and red from crying all day. But those eyes still look beautiful in Fariz's eyes. 

"Go! I don't need anyone to lean on. Especially you ... who just stayed and got to know me a few hours ago. I hope you stay away from me, don't come near me!" Aurel got up and pointed at the door of the room. 

Aurel was unconscious. Fortunately Fariz sped up and caught Aurel's body, otherwise Aurel's body would have hit the nightstand. Fariz hugged Aurel's body and muttered softly. 

"That's so much you, my bidadar. This must be very hard on you. If you could share a little of your suffering with me, I would be so happy" Fariz said, stroking Aurel's back gently. 

Fariz lifted and carried Aurel's body and laid him in the middle of the bed. Fariz covered Aurel's body and he sat on the floor and leaned against the edge of the bed. The night was too late, and Fariz, alarmed by Aurel's circumstances, decided to look after him and sleep on the edge of Aurel's bed.

Morning time. 

Triana woke up early for a urine test. He took the testpack he bought yesterday, to the bathroom. With her heart pounding, Triana dipped the testpack into urine that had been accommodated in a small tube. Slowly there was a faint pink line, the longer the clearer the two bright red lines were.

"Positive," muttered Triana smiling. Triana took off her shirt to take a shower. He then brushes his teeth, but Triana vomits and wakes Lanzi up.

"Em .. Tri," Lanzi said as she rubbed her eyes. When she heard Triana's voice vomiting, Lanzi immediately ran over to Triana. 

"Honey," call Lanzi. He massaged Triana's nape, who was still vomiting, but there was nothing he could remove but clear liquid. Lanzi's eyes then turned towards the testpack beside the sink, she picked it up and smiled happily. 

"Darling, are you pregnant?" Ask Lanzi. 

"Yes, Mum." Triana rinsed and wiped her mouth. Triana felt a little dizzy. 

"Well, congratulations, baby. We're going to have a baby back, and Daren must be very happy to have a sister" Lanzi said, hugging Triana. Triana smiled in Lanzi's arms.

The Aurel house. 

Aurel woke up from his sleep, he got up and sat on the bed. Aurel tidied her hair and went to get out of bed, but her movements stopped seeing Fariz who was sleeping leaning on the edge of the bed. Aurel did not understand why Fariz would keep him asleep on the floor.

"Is it possible, she likes me? No way, hasn't it been twenty-four hours that he and I met?" Aurel muttered softly while looking at Fariz. Suddenly Fariz woke up and looked back, staring fixedly at Aurel's face. 

"Twenty-three hours, twenty minutes, four seconds. That's enough to make me like you. Because I've fallen in love with you, twenty-three hours, twenty minutes, four seconds ago" Fariz said, staring at his watch.

The deg! 

Aurel thumped at Fariz's love. He bowed in shame, hiding his reddened face. This was the first time, Aurel heard a statement of love from a man. Aurel always stayed away from her male schoolmates when she was at school.

Aurel was afraid to fall in love. He was as afraid of being hurt as his parents. Her mother committed suicide because of her deep love for her father. Aurel is afraid that she will end up disappointed when she falls in love. However, for the first time, Aurel felt his heart pounding because of a man he had just met.

Is it because of Fariz's attention to him, eventually making Aurel interested in Fariz? Or because his heart is fragile because he just lost his father? Aurel did not know what the reason behind her heartbeats that exceeded normal limits.

"Aurel!" Shouted Olivia who had woken up from her sleep. 

Aurel immediately got off the bed and ran to leave Fariz who was still in his room. Aurel approached her aunt in the kitchen. Olivia tells Aurel to make breakfast, and it should be ripe by the time Olivia finishes her bath.
