My Aunt is my Beloved

CHAPTER 6 – PICKUP

Four years passed quickly.

Kania is now eighteen, while Dilan is nine.

The departure of the Dewinta really dealt a heavy blow to Kania.

Kania must slam extra energy in order to only get a little more income to finance the cost of living himself and Dilan.

As time goes on, thanks to Kania's good attitude during this time in her residence, the residents in her complex begin not to hate her anymore.

Kania can now live more mingled with the citizens.

Since the beginning, Kania has had many friends there.

Although the identity of Dewinta who is a former pramuria was finally known by the residents who had made Kania get the sentiment of the citizens, he said, now the problem has subsided and even many who otherwise become sympathetic to the dark period Dewinta who was forced to become a pramuria because of the actions of his own uncle.

There was also a rumor that Dilan was actually an illegitimate child born by Kania, but about the age difference between Kania and Dilan which could not be a mother and child couple, he said, by itself the rumor was swallowed.

But thanks to the rumors circulating, Kania also had the opportunity to explain who Dilan really was who was nothing more than his nephew.

However, not a few also scorned Dilan as an illegitimate child due to a one night stand relationship that is enough to make Dilan's childhood gloomy so much more dependent on his little aunt.

Plus there are still many sometimes naughty om-om who came to him by considering him as a commercial pre-tourism worker like the dark days of Dewinta and his brother, Sekar, that is so that Kania's life is not completely calm again perfectly.

It was quite a burden on the mental woman who had just stepped on her teenage years.

Not only in terms of mental, thanks to the interference of the naughty om, the Kania store is no longer as crowded as it used to be so as to meet the needs of life that increasingly makes no sense with the price surge, so as to meet the needs of the increasingly unreasonable, Kania is forced to work on the side by finding firewood or herbal mushrooms deep in the forest.

And that of course is still not enough to meet his needs so that Kania at least twice a week every weekend must work as a construction worker.

“Bi, pray first before bed.”

“Ah, noisy! This aunt is tired of knowing that she has lifted heavy concrete for extra money!”

Without Kania realizing it, the stress had triggered his attitude to be rude to Dilan who used to be very dear to him.

Kania was no longer able to achieve her childhood dream of becoming a member of a girl band and instead ended up in a miserable life as a odd job.

Kania loves Dilan, however the difficulty of the burden of life sometimes makes him forget to control his emotions uncontrollably so that sometimes it ends up hurting Dilan.

Thank goodness that at least Kania never once hurt Dilan physically.

And so aware of her mistake the next day anyway, Kania will always immediately apologize to Dilan.

However, the mental wound in Dilan's heart was already there.

But Dilan is a very kind boy.

He at his very young age, already very understanding with the difficulties that must be lived by his young aunt.

Therefore, however Kania snapped at Dilan, Dilan just always gave her true smile to Kania.

But as a child, it was definitely not good for Dilan's mental development.

Dilan became more frequent suppressing her feelings for fear that it would further burden her young aunt who was already in great distress just for the sake of making a living.

Like at the moment.

Dilan had a fever this morning, but she kept it a secret from her young aunt about Dilan knowing that today was a day that Kania had been waiting for.

The most famous live concert girl group in Indonesia, Strawberry Bell, kania idol since childhood who will appear at the anniversary celebration of the proclamation of Indonesian independence in his city which will be held right at 7 in the evening.

“Dilan, Aunty want to go first play with friends Auntie ya. You want to nitip something for Auntie to buy at the night market for a minute, no?”

“Not necessary, Bi. Just be careful on the road and don't go home too late.”

“Duh, you are this. You're even more seen as his parents than Auntie, you know.”

“Hehehehe.”

Dilan also drove Kania away with a wave of his hand.

There was not the slightest suspicion of Kania at that time that Dilan was having a high fever so it was too usual for Dilan to hide his expression so that he had become very expert in it.

So neither should Kania be blamed for being careless about Dilan's condition.

However, due to Kania's carelessness, Dilan was left alone at home in a state of high fever.

Maybe because of being born abnormally, Dilan who initially grew well, later became often sickly when he turned 6 years old.

“Air... Thirst..”.

Dilan groaned on his bed about thirst.

But once Dilan tried to find water in the pot of drinking water that Kania used as a place of drinking water, the kettle was apparently empty.

With a limp, Dilan walked to find water in the right jar outside his house.

Thankfully, it exists lucky.

However, Dilan does not cook the water anymore and then only drink it directly when it is clear that at the bottom of the crock, there are many mosquito larvae that indicate the water is not clean.

But Dilan who was hot his body was already at its peak could no longer think about it.

He was very thirsty and wanted to immediately relieve his thirst.

- Glup.

One sip, look satisfaction face on Dilan after easing his thirst.

After feeling relieved, Dilan walked back to the bed.

But beyond his expectations, his body was so weak and his legs felt so weak to withstand the weight of his body.

Dilan also fell where half of his body was right inside the house and the other half was still outside.

“Aunt Kania.. Please come home quickly. Dilan can't take it anymore.”

In the midst of the pain, only the name of his young aunt can be echoed by Dilan.

“Hey, Son. Son! Son! You all right?! Hey, Nak!”

The face of the foreign man was right in front of Dilan before the poor boy finally fell unconscious.

.

.

.

“Nanananana. Strawberry Bell concerts are always fun.”

Without knowing anything, Kania finally returned home after almost ten o'clock in the evening with a face full of sinless pleasure after enjoying a concert from her favorite idol.

But how shocked Kania when he found that in his house in the middle of the night blind, there was already a stranger he did not know.

Kania, who had always been terrorized by a flirtatious om-om, immediately had bad idea to the young man that he was also one of the depraved men who wanted his body.

“Basic you stalker bastard! How dare you barge into my house!”

“…”

Panicked Kania immediately peered towards her niece who was still lying asleep.

Kania immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that his nephew was apparently fine.

“Dilan! Dylan! Getup! There's a bad guy coming into our house!”

But beyond Kania's expectations, Dilan who woke up and found the existence of the foreign man did not express panic like himself.

“Dilan?”

“Sorry to introduce yourself. I'm Cassian, Dilan's uncle from his father's side. I came here to pick up Dilan to go with me back to our family home in Jakarta.”

Cassian's words were like lightning striking Kania's head.
