His eyes were too heavy to open, if only there was no sound of the doorbell ringing it was better for him to keep rolling with the blanket. Trying to sit down, he grimaced with pain all over his body. Alya walked slowly to pick up a new dress in her closet. Letting the guests outside wait impatiently.
Not to forget Alya threw the torn pajamas Christian did into the trash can near the bathroom door. Glancing briefly at the red stain on the bed sheet, Alya tried indifferently without wanting to bother about things last night again.
"Geez, be patient! " Shouted Alya approaching towards the door.
How surprised Alya was to see who was coming.
"Daddy, mummy? " Alya covered his mouth in disbelief, he hugged Patricia and then Mr. Rodrigo.
"You're surprising me, let's go inside." Ask Alya to lead her parents inside.
"We deliberately kept this a secret, so that you wouldn't forbid us from coming." Patricia put some cartons on the dining table. Previously, he had been shopping to fill the contents of his child's refrigerator.
"How's your college Al? " Mister Rodrigo rubbed the tip of Alya's head. They sat next to each other on the sofa in front of the TV.
"Good, it was a nice place. " Answer smiled thinly.
"Al, haven't you eaten your breakfast yet? " Tanya Patricia who saw there was food on the dining table.
"Ah yes, I forgot momm. You can't wait to open the door. " It turns out Christian cooked for her.
"Did Christian come here often? " Since the trip Mr. Rodrigo had prepared the question, and he was relieved not to find Christian when they came.
"No, he stayed at his hotel. " Alya Down did not dare to look into his father's eyes.
"Then why did you move to that shabby flat?" Attacking Mr. Rodrigo, Alya can guess if he is always on the lookout.
"Staying at Hellen's, he's my friend on campus. " Although lying Alya knew lord Rodrigo would realize it.
"Then, what's the big deal for Al? " With regards to the flat rent payment, it turns out that the mutation of Alya's account was tracked by his father.
"I originally wanted to stay close to Hellen, ashamed to also hitch a ride at Christian's place. But it's much worse there, I chose to come back here." Hopefully the pizza man and last night did not penetrate his father's ears. Alya was afraid she would be dragged back to Paris.
"Daddy, have you interrogated him? Alya hurry up and take a shower and have breakfast. You have to go to college, right? " Alya breathed a sigh of relief, her mother best understood the circumstances. He survived the frightening lashings of his father.
"Yes momm's... " Alya got off the couch to take a shower.
Patricia is busy helping to tidy up and clean Christian's flat. Actually it is still very neat just so that he has activities. When entering Alya's room, Madame Rodrigo will make her bed. He was surprised when he pulled over the thick blanket, seeing the blood spots printed clearly.
Suddenly his heart was racing, fear and anxiety began to present in his mind. Alya who came out of the bathroom caught her mother's movements.
"I'm coming moon mom, just leave the bed linen in the laundry." Without arousing suspicion, Alya managed to convince her mother.
"You're Al, use extra-size pads. " Patricia clucked in wonder because even in Paris Alya sometimes like to leak.
"Mom, what's the reason you're visiting me?" Alya asked, she began to put on her clothes in front of her mother, not feeling the slightest shame.
"Say we'll visit you regularly. Daddy also said he'd find a new place for you." Patricia Alya frowned. He has not wanted to leave Christian's flat, Alya is very comfortable here. He moved once, in fact, he came back again.
"Tell Daddy it doesn't need mom, I'm comfortable here. Just give Christian a whole year's rent, all right? " It's ready, Alya brought her painting equipment along with her laptop. It looks bad in Patricia's eyes.
"Say it directly to your daddy, all of you take you to campus. Mommy's dizzy to see you carrying so much stuff. " The two went out of the room after finishing with their respective affairs.
Patricia and Mr. Rodrigo accompany Alya to breakfast. Sometimes Alya told her daily stories during her stay in London. He also said Christian took good care of him. He even invited Alya to attend a famous painting auction.
"So you feel at home here ? Isn't it because Christian visits a lot? Alya chokes while drinking when getting a question from her daddy.
" Slowly Alya, you're so careless." Patricia's hand patted her son's back.
"Obviously not a dadd. Christian's a busy man where there's time watching me twenty-four hours." Kilah Alya is lying.
"Alright, as long as you can take good care of yourself daddy will continue to obey all your wishes Al. Let's go daddy to campus. " Mister Rodrigo got up from his seat as did Alya.
Before leaving Alya hugged Patricia. "I'm going mom, please make me some pastry dough. " Alya's whining was so pleasant for her parents, however Alya was still very young. He so often asked Patricia to make various types of pastry his favorite on his birthday.
"Every baby girl... " Hearing her mother call the girl, Alya grimaced feeling the tightness in her chest. He had lost the title, and it was all because of Christian's madness.
In the car to campus, Mr. Rodrigo drives himself to take his daughter to campus.
"I'm a little carefree dad. It rained a lot last night and I forgot to turn off the air conditioning. " Damn it, Alya said in his heart. He was sweating after being attacked by Christian. He covered the trail Christian left in the recess of his neck. Fortunately, Alya covered her hair while welcoming her parents.
"Daddy is staying at Christian's hotel, we're having dinner together there tonight. At once someone wants daddy to tell Al. " Before Alya disembarks, Mr. Rodrigo informs them of their schedule.
"Okay dad, I'll go first. See you's... " Don't forget Alya kissed daddy's cheek, but usually never so when in Paris. How can, after all Alya always set out alone to take the bus to school.
***
Alya helps Luke do his homework in a painting class. Fortunately, the subjects of his college were not split, so Alya could go home in time.
"Al, I'll take you home. " Luke chases Alya's steps, they walk together towards the parking lot.
"Ah don't need Luke, I'm picking up daddy." Rejecting Alya's courtesy, he values Luke as his partner.
"I thought you lived alone here Al? " Their steps came to a halt when they arrived at the parking lot where Mr. Rodrigo was already standing next to the car.
"Yes, he's visiting to keep an eye on me. " Lirih Alya without looking at Luke beside her.
"Huh, you mean Al? " Looks in the confusion on Luke's face.
"I'm Luke first. " Disregarding Luke's question, Alya ran over to Rodrigo to hug him.
"Why are you so spoiled Al? " Master Rodrigo's hand pinched Alya's cheek in a fit of anxiety. If in Paris his daughter is like keeping her distance, but here she is so cheerful and open.
Maybe Christian had a good influence on him. Mr. Rodrigo's fear has been unreasonable all along.
"Hehe rarely did daddy pick me up like this. " Alya showed me his teeth, he had rabbit teeth that people rarely notice.
"Let's go to the hotel, mommy's waiting. " Take Mr. Rodrigo, Alya nodded and then got into his father's Rolls-Royce.
The interaction between the two is witnessed by Luke and several pairs of eyes. Especially Hellen and Cindy, I don't know why they're getting along.
"It turns out Alya's son is a successful businessman, he's Mr. Rodrigo the diamond businessman and Ell's luxury watch. " Corny disbelief stricken Cindy repeatedly patted Hellen's arm beside her.
"So everything Alya did to me was camouflage? He used me to have friends. " Crowded and lied to, Hellen turned to hate Alya at this time.
"I told you Ell, he's a sneaky guy." Cindy's desire ignited the already-spattered flames.
"Let's go, I'll think of a way to get back at him. " Hellen pulled Cindy's hand away from the parking lot.
The restaurant is so crowded, what else is the arrival of an important guest who is a relative of the hotel owner. Christian, Daniel and Mrs Aline warmly welcome Rodrigo's family to dinner there.
"Alya, you're getting pretty baby. Theo must be surprised to see you. " The mother of the two men praised Alya's beautiful looks. It is indeed sweet with a one-set yellow Chanel collection.
"Auntie, I don't think auntie's here. I heard Theo will be visiting." Alya hugged Aline for a while, they sat at the long table because they were going to eat together. Christian and Daniel could feel Alya avoiding eye-to-eye with the man who had taken his crown.
"Ah yes dear, Theo and uncle O are coming. Because Christian and Sera's engagement is up for another week."
Deg,,, uh,,,
Alya's heart seemed to be grounded a bow suddenly heard the news of Christian's engagement. Christian is waiting for Alya's reaction at this time, will he feel jealous or just act ordinary ?
"really? Then congratulations aunt, I'm happy." Alya's smile was made as sincere as possible so that the man before her was not suspicious.
"Auntie also has a surprise for you Al, but later wait for Theo and Uncle O to arrive." Christian scrunched his forehead wondering what his mother's words meant.
Alya glanced at her parents asking for an explanation, but the waitress came to interject with the trolley and began to serve ordered food on the table.
They also enjoyed a casual dinner, interspersed with small talk between Alya's parents and Christian's mother.
"I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a second. " Alya asked for time to leave their table.
Inside the toilet, Alya felt her legs limp so they had to rest on the sink. What is this feeling, why does Alya feel pain hearing that Christian is getting engaged? Has he really fallen for Christian ?
"No way, I just feel confused. Everything will be fine Al... " Strengthening himself, Alya tried to reaffirm his stance. He did not want to be trapped by feelings that would only give him hurt. Alya washed her face hoping for freshness.
