Alee had just arrived in N country where here he felt such a deep pain. It was in this country that he had avoided these few years.
Slowly he took his footsteps to find a way out.
“Non, it looks like the driver will be late to pick us up because the car that will pick us up broke down in the middle of the road. But the office guy already walked in here to pick us up.” Asisiten said his papi Aleea who is often called Jeremy, he also joined the country.
“We just wait for them,” Aleea said then he brought his footsteps sitting on the seat.
“Aleea, you are here,” call a woman while patting Aleea's back gently with slightly sparkling eyes looking at Aleea in front of her.
Aleea looked up at the person beside her.
“Shea!” Call Aleaa when she sees her best friend also in that place.
“You said you'd be here tomorrow night, why have you arrived today?” Shea asked with a slightly puzzled look because in their group Aleea said that she would get to this country tomorrow night.
“Papa who said the schedule of his meeting was advanced.” Reply Aleea who was replied by a nod by Shea.
A few minutes they spoke and had to part ways because Aleea had been picked up. On the way aleea saw a bakery that was quite a lot of visitors and he asked to stop in front of the store.
Aleea brought her footsteps to enter the store. A shop that is not too big. He saw several kinds of cakes neatly arranged in the storefront. His eyes were fixed on the macaron.
“My brother order this,” Aleea said to the waiter who just finished serving other buyers.
“Aleea!! Right you Aleea?” Said the woman.
Aleea looked at the woman in front of him with a difficult to decipher gaze.
“Syeila.” Aleea muttered softly as she looked at the woman who was in front of her.
“How are you? It's been a long time since we met.” Sheila asked who had seen Aleea since just now to remain silent.
“Good. How are you?” Ask Aleea back.
“As you can see my news is good too.” Sheila replied with a smile on her face.
“If Brian sees you for sure he is very happy.” Syeila.
Aleea frowned not understanding Brian who he meant. “Brian Austin my son's name.” Sheila said as if understanding about the confused Aleea.
“Ohh where is he now?” Aleea asked as she watched the surroundings trying to find Sheila's son.
“Brian invited to play by my friend,” replied Syeila.
“Oh yes. What do you want to order?” Ask him back.
“I want to buy this one five boxes only?” Aleea said while pointing at the macaron in the estate.
“This Al your order.” Say Syeila while giving Aleea an order.
“Thanks.” Aleea said after paying for the cake she bought.
Aleea began to turn her body but stopped when the hand was held by Sheila.
“Al are you in a hurry?” Syeila asked as she let go of Aleea's hand slowly.
“Sorry, I'm in a hurry. This is my business card, you can contact me.” Aleea said then walked out of the room.
“Sorry,” said Syeila as she looked at Aleea's back, a lot of what she said but could not say because it concerned her son.
After Aleea's meeting with Sheila the last time they didn't see each other.
Today Aleea was in the restaurant with her three friends.
“Sorry I'm a little late.” Said the man standing next to their table.
“Why to meet here anyway,” inner Aleea when he saw the man, the man he had been avoiding for a few days.
“No problem we were just ready to order food,” Shea said.
“I told Sams we're here, it's okay right? You guys aren't fighting, are you?” Shea said as she looked at Aleaa who was in front of her.
“No problem, we are fine.” Aleea said while giving a smile.
Next, they eat the food that is available on the table.
Sams had only been staring at Aleea eating the available food. He saw that there was leftover food at the end of Aleea's lips. Then he picked up a tissue and tried to clean up the leftovers.
Aleea flinched as Sams tried to clean it up but he did not protest that a middle-aged woman was approaching them.
“Oh, so this is a woman who has just separated from her husband but has made out in public, which other man is your target?” Said the woman.
“Indeed a cheap woman like you does not deserve to be with my granddaughter, a woman does not know herself, thank God my granddaughter has come to her senses and parted with you.” Say the woman back.
“Oma...” Aleea said slowly as she looked at the woman in front of her along with the young woman she recognized. Then he stood up and tried to crucify Arini. “don't touch my hand with that hand!”.
The woman is Arini Cullen, the oma of Sean's ex-husband Aleea along with his beloved granddaughter Carissa.
Aleea just bowed his face, he felt ashamed of his theme there. From starting to get married until he separated his oma still hates him. He only met Arini a few times.
“That's what I saw from my son marrying my grandson to a woman like you,” Arini said with a mocking look starting to see Aleea from top to bottom.
Sams felt unacceptable that the woman he loved so much was insulted like that. He then tried to stand up but was prevented by Aleea by pulling the shirt that Sams was wearing.
Aleea knows Sean's oma won't be here long. Because after being content to insult him they will leave immediately. And right within 120 seconds they left the place.
Sams brought Aleea's body back to sit in its original place. He gave Aleea a drink that looked a little shocked by the incident.
“Sorry,” murmured Aleea quietly who was still heard by those at the table.
They seemed to understand the situation that happened, not a few of them asked who the woman was because they already knew who the Cullen family was.
They continued their food except for Aleea who already had no taste.
A few minutes later they were ready to enjoy their lunch.
“Alee. Is there anything you want to go to again?” Ask the soft Sams that Aleea gave her a nod.
“Then we go home.” Said Sean after parting ways with Aleea's three best friends.
With Aleea at home, Aleea headed straight for her room.
BRAK!!
Aleea instantly dropped herself on the bed and drowned her face on the pillow.
Hikkss... Hikkss... Hikkss...
Aleea was crying in her room.
Hikkss... Hikkss... Hikkss...
His crying voice made the person who heard it so feel pity. Only in this room could Aleea spill all the sadness. He wants to fight but he can't because Arini's parents have to be respected.
Long crying made him tired so he fell asleep with a messy face. While the man in front of his room can only clench his hands because he can not do anything because he has promised.
“Do not hurt them,” Aleea said before entering her room.
That night Aleea woke up from her sleep. He remembered the incident that day that made his tears flow back.
“Alright I will finish the job here soon and I will return home so as not to see him again.” Aleea Mumbled.
Aleea recalled that before he came home from here he wanted to confirm what his parents said if what they said was true about Sams.
He then looked for the contact Sheila had on her phone. Sheila had already invited him to meet but he refused because he was still not ready to meet him again.
Aleea: Sheila, this is Aleea. Can we meet tomorrow? If he please answer my message and please find the place we want to visit.
Flashback off
“Syeila, sorry. I invite Sams to come with us is okay?” Aleea said in a weak tone as if she felt guilty not telling Sheila first.
“It's okay.” Said Sheila quietly with a slight tremble.
Aleea was snuggling with Brian, while Sams was just looking at him with a difficult look.
“Sams try to carry Brian,” Aleea said as he placed Brian on Sams' chest that made the child cry.
Aleea looked at Brian terrified as he looked at the other sams when he was first carried by him.
At that moment Sams felt a little strange when the boy was on his chest. But he quickly dispelled that strange feeling.
After Sheila calms Brian who has stopped crying, they begin to enjoy the food on the table with an occasional aleea feeding Brian who is sitting in the child's chair.
“Sam. You see Brian is very handsome. It is very unfortunate if this handsome child must be defeated. But thank goodness Brian's dad is dead.” Aleea said softly while looking at the two people who were at his side and in front of him.
“I don't feel like talking to Aleea just now, but I'll explain it to her again.” Inner Sheila.
Sams did not answer Aleea's question he was still enjoying the food.
“But Sams why is Brian's face similar to yours as a kid?” Aleea asked that made Syeila and Sams at the same time choke.
Burrr!!
Sheila spouted water in her mouth.
Uhuuk.. Uhuuk..
Sams sniffed the food he ate.
Sams and Sheila looked at each other with the most dominant gaze of Sams.
“You why?” Aleea asked with a plain face.
“Nothing,” answer them together.
“Why ask like that?” Sams asked as she felt that something was wrong with what Aleea had said.
“I'm just curious, Brian's face is like no stranger to me, keep me looking in my phone gallery and find your face when childhood.” Aleea said while showing the photos on his phone and sure enough their faces were very similar to a betel nut in two.
Aleea's words made the two people in front of him speechless.
