I choose Your Heart

PHD (32)

Aurel had a long chat with Gusti. They talk about the past, when Aurel was a child and when Aditya was alive. Aurel forgot to get some water.

"Nhuk .. uhuukk. It's a little dry" Gusti said, insinuating Aurel. 

"Yes, geez. I'm sorry, sister, Aurel forgot to drink, Aurel took a minute," Aurel said, then went to the kitchen. In the kitchen Aurel saw Fariz sitting in front of the dining table, with his head taped to the table. Aurel approached Fariz and rebuked him. 

"Sister Fariz, what are you doing?" ask Aurel. 

Fariz raised his face, staring fixedly at the face of Aurel who was standing beside him. Fariz smiled even though his smile seemed forced. Because Fariz's heart was currently gloomy, the sky was cloudy. Fariz shook his head.

"It's nothing. Is the guest gone?" ask Fariz. 

"Not yet, this is Aurel want to get drinking water first," said Aurel while taking two glasses and orange ice water in a pouch. Fariz was saddened to see Aurel smiling happily at Gusti's arrival. 

"Yes, already. Brother has something to talk to Aurel about. Brother to the room first then, later Brother talk if the guest has gone home," said Fariz. Fariz then stepped into his room. Leaving the bewildered Aurel looking at Fariz's face which seemed to be in mourning.

It was as if there was a heavy burden he was thinking about. Aurel becomes curious and wants to know what Fariz wants to talk to him about. Aurel returned to the reading room and sat back down beside Gusti. They returned to chatting, but Aurel became too dumbstruck. And their conversation is not connected, not like before. 

"Aurel, why? It was fine, why is it daydreaming now?" ask Gusti. 

"That's it, sister, Aurel forgot a lot of schoolwork. Two months to go for the National Examination. So, Aurel has a lot of tasks" Aurel said. 

"Oh, Brother come home if so. Studying hard, let's graduate quickly. Sister's coming home, but she's gonna have a drink, okay?" ask Gusti. 

"Yes, drinking everything is also okay," Aurel said with a faint smile. After drinking a glass of iced orange that Aurel gave, Gusti went home. Aurel escorts Gusti until his car disappears around the corner.

Hearing the sound of Gusti's car leaving, Fariz came out of his room carrying a suitcase. Aurel entered the house after locking the gate. Fariz sat on the living room couch, waiting for Aurel to come in. Aurel saw Fariz waiting for him in the living room.

Aurel was stunned to see the suitcase beside the sofa. His mind immediately guessed what Fariz would do with the suitcase. Aurel sat opposite Fariz, separated by a table. Aurel kept staring at the suitcase. Fariz followed Aurel's view. 

"This .. I want to say goodbye. Because Auntie is not here, so I should also leave this house. Because I'm here because Mama left me with Aunt Olivia. Now that I'm leaving, I'm going to find a hostel not too far from campus. I'm sorry, if I've got it wrong, I say goodbye" Fariz said. 

"Go! GO there! You all do not like to stay and accompany me. Everyone leave me, Mama, Papa, now Brother Fariz. You all don't think about my feelings, want to leave? JUST GO!" Aurel shouted and got up and ran into his room. Aurel locked the door and cried leaning against the door.

Fariz caught up with Aurel and tried to explain his point. Fariz knocked on Aurel's room door, and he heard Aurel's cry. Truly, Fariz's heart was like that of Aurel. He could not see Aurel grieving, let alone crying.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

" Rail, listen to my reasons. I don't want to leave this house either. But ... how people view you, if you live in a house with a man who is not your brother, with a foreign man. Aurel, I will come every day to see you. But let me stay in a separate house, all I do for you" Fariz said. 

"I don't want to hear Brother say, go!" Aurel keeps on driving Fariz away. 

Fariz went awry, and he went back to his room. Fariz will talk about it again tomorrow. The sun slowly began to sink, changing the color of the blue sky to yellow mixed with orange. Fariz stared at the sky from the window of his room which happened to be facing west. Slowly the orange color turned black and dark. Soon it turned pitch-black, and the atmosphere turned dark, signifying a night that began to greet the earth.

Aurel was still at home leaning against the door of her room in the darkness. He did not wake up and just sat there. Aurel kept his room lights dark. Without Aurel realizing it, he fell asleep on the floor until morning.

***

In the morning, Fariz makes fried rice like for Aurel. Fariz knew, last night, Aurel didn't have dinner. Therefore Fariz brought breakfast a plate of fried rice and milk like yesterday. 

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Aurel awakens to hear Fariz's voice. He glanced at the wall clock and immediately got up and went to the bathroom. After taking a bath, Aurel put on his school uniform and opened the door. 

Fariz smiled as Aurel opened the door. 

"Breakfast first, just left for school. It's!" Fariz gave a plate of fried rice and gave Aurel warm chocolate milk as well. Aurel accepts, and Fariz leaves Aurel. But his steps were held back by Aurel's words. 

"Can you not go? Aurel needs a friend. Aurel's alone here. We can tell other people if we're brothers. They also already knew that Brother was my Tantik nephew. Can you stay in this house?" aurel asked in hope.

Fariz smiled and turned to face Aurel. Fariz approached Aurel and rubbed his hair affectionately. 

"Alright, Brother won't go. It's breakfast now or you'll be late for school" Fariz said. 

Aurel smiled and nodded. Aurel took the food to the dining table, and Fariz went to her room to tidy up her clothes back into the closet. Fariz was happy, because he didn't have to leave the house. Even though they lived together, they would not do anything forbidden either. 

Fariz wants to get Aurel's heart so he wants to be her lover. To date, Aurel has not answered the love statement Fariz revealed the other day. Fariz wanted to use their togetherness in the house, to show Fariz's sincere intentions. Fariz's sincere love for Aurel will be proved.
