JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

THE FADING ARROGANCE

When he finished, Evan looked at Aluna's face. The girl is still crying. Evan just stared at her blankly. There was a difficult feeling he explained after he did that. But the shadow of his past is clearly overshadowing him. When remembering how Aluna's attitude and the way Aluna insulted someone Evan even more chaotic.

Evan immediately cleared up this mess. He cleaned up all the traces of poison in Aluna's drink. Don't forget he wrapped his hands so there were no fingerprints.

Aluna looked at the handsome man. He could see that something else was haunting him at this moment. Either he saw it wrong or Evan was wiping his tears.

After finishing cleaning the poison, Evan immediately approached Aluna and lifted Aluna to bathe her. Once again she made Aluna into her whore in the bathroom. He was really trying to make Aluna lose her pride. I don't know who Evan's trying to destroy. Aluna's heart? Or himself. Evan is trying hard to fight his own inner debate. He vented all of that on Aluna at this moment. A girl who doesn't know about her past. The girl who doesn't understand Evan's inner wounds. What is clearly visible at this time, Evan is destroying Aluna's life as badly as it is.

After finishing bathing her, Evan changed Aluna's clothes. And he took the same bedsheet as Aluna's room bedsheet to replace it with a whole new one.

After all, he was getting ready to leave. Not forgetting that he laid Aluna back on his bed, he carried her bridesmaid-style, as if a couple were on their honeymoon. He put Aluna down slowly. At this point, Aluna saw kindness in Evan's eyes. He did not even want to look at Aluna anymore after the incident.

Aluna looked at him fixedly, she could now act like a romantic man after becoming a bastard just now. He pulled Aluna's hair from her forehead. After calming his heart, Evan just looked into Aluna's eyes.

"Please report to the police if you want. You're gonna have a long interrogation to prove this. And you will tell this again in detail to the police. Are you willing!?" evan said with a cynical smile, once again Evan returned like the first time he came earlier, his gaze back full of anger and resentment.

He left Aluna who kept crying.

"Yes, that poison effect will last for 6 hours of total paralysis, and 3 days of limp. Here I leave the antidote, so you can recover quickly. Drink it later if you can move" said Evan and left Aluna.

...***...

Early in the morning Aluna who did not sleep from last night began to be able to move her body. Still weak and still tingling in his legs and hands. It's tormenting him so much. He began to not stand his condition. He glanced at the medicine Evan left for him. He began to think about drinking it. He didn't care if it was poison or medicine, he already didn't care about his life which was starting to feel meaningless anymore now. Added to that poison's effect that tormented him so much.

She crawled towards her dresser to pick up the antidote Evan said. He saw the little bottle. There was no evidence of anything from the bottle, only liquid inside. Aluna tried to open it with the rest of her energy. And with a little hesitation he ended up drinking it as well. And he began to fall in love with what would happen next. Dead or alive he doesn't care anymore.

After 1 hour, his body began to not tingle and limp again. His strength began to recover, he immediately went to the bathroom. And water his body again with a shower while continuing to cry. He hopes it's a dream, just a nightmare. But it turned out that this was a reality of life that he had to accept. He was already being harassed, and nothing else mattered from him. Aluna kept letting the shower water her body for hours.

"Daddy...," sobbed Aluna hysterically as she kept calling her father. For a long time he again felt weak and began to unconscious again.

Outside the food deliverymen had long been waiting for him at the door of the room. They had cleared Aluna's room many times but there was still no answer. Because they were worried that they immediately reported it to their Manager, because Evan who became their superior had been fired. So they also complained to Pak Ari directly. Pak Ari immediately checked it

As the servants say, there is no answer from within.

Finally they opened the door with a spare room key. When they entered there was only a neat room, and there was no Aluna in the room. From the bathroom, water flowed.

"Mother Aluna, is it okay?" ask mr. Ari. But there's no answer. "mombs!?" Call Mr. Ari from the bathroom door.

But still no answer. Finally they tried to open the bathroom door in another way. When the bathroom door managed to open How shocked they were when they saw Aluna collapsed under the shower in full clothes.

They immediately took Aluna to the hospital for a check-up. But doctors did not find any disease. They were a little calm, at least their boss's daughter was fine.

When I woke up the cheerful Aluna seemed to suddenly disappear. There was a quiet Aluna, and occasionally she was seen wiping her tears. They are confused about what is happening to Aluna. Aluna didn't want to tell me anything.

He can't do anything now. As Evan said, if he were to report to the police, it would make him tell of the bad incident many times. He didn't want that, he would go crazy if he told that over and over again. Only her tears could accompany him at this moment.

He would wait for his daughter to calm down first to find out, because several times he caught Aluna crying. It proves there's something Aluna is hiding.

Arriving in Jakarta Aluna directly entered his room. She locked her room, and she cried all over again in her luxurious room.

He recalled how Evan took everything from him. I just want him to kill. He picked up the catcher knife in his drawer and prepared to cut his pulse. But suddenly she was scared, and could only sit on the floor of her room sobbing in tears.

...***...

On the other hand Evan went on with his life as usual. His thoughts about Aluna continued to haunt him. He needed a place that would calm him down right now. Therefore for a while he would calm himself down at his uncle's place.

Looks like a simple wooden house that is beautiful and clean from a distance. Fresh air with the roar of flowing rivers and the sound of insects typical of the forest. Getting Evan back can develop his smile. He continued down that path with a backpack on his right shoulder.

Evan hasn't been there for 12 years. Usually every school holiday his uncle who is the younger brother of his father often took him on vacation to his home. Evan has always loved visiting his uncle's house, because he is beautiful and can play in the fields and go fishing in a small pond nearby.

Every inch of the road to his uncle's house makes Evan again remember his childhood memories here. He seemed to be able to forget the incident for a moment. He smiled back at the memories. It was heaven in his life, for his house was like hell to him. Only in this place can he get the affection he deserves.

Arriving at his uncle's house today Magrib and the door was closed. He knocked on the door of the simple wooden house. And when who comes how shocked bude it. Having not met for 12 years, Evan's arrival is a big surprise for him.

"Oh my God, son. This is really you!?" welcome the budenya when he gets home. The middle-aged woman welcomed Evan's arrival with pleasure and also shock. Evan just smiled. The young man was very happy with Evan's presence.

"Which pakde bude?" ask Evan.

"He went to Surau at this hour. He's the priest there now. So he who often azan when praying. Since retirement yes it is your uncle's work now." explained budenya with interspersed friendly laughter.

"Yes, how's your mom doing with your dad? Healthy?" ask Bude who doesn't know anything about it.

"I haven't been home for 8 years." Bright Evan. Sontak surprised his budget.

"Couldn't you? Not the time of graduation is your parents to England and family. You're in the family about you the best graduate in Oxford. Bude thought you came home after that." His budding speech was confused.

"No bude, I finished college. Continually invited the lecturer who had taught me in Oxford to work at his hotel in Singapore." Bright Evan.

"Keep you meet Syahila there?" Ask budenya.

"No, bude. I met him on the street, he called but I ran away. L am... Don't know, bude. It's tired. Want to stay away first." Bright Evan.

"Ndak't be good with that old man. Udah college high cook can not keep the relationship with parents! Whatever your father is with your mother, they are still your parents. You must be a filial child. See it? in the care of your parents, you are successful, it is a sign of God guarding you. Remember ridho Allah ridho parents. Don't make Gusti Allah angry with you." Budenya. Evan was silent, it was still hard for him to go home. He still can't get home. The wounds of those years were so deep in his heart that it was hard for him to accept the family again.

SERIATE...
