Aira's footsteps looked lethargic accompanying the footsteps of the mother who was very excited to walk to and fro.
Both are located in the largest mall in the city. After forcing Aira to agree to move into her stepbrother's apartment. Rose tried to persuade her daughter by shopping. But the truth was, Aira was still sulking with an annoyed look on her face.
Two women of different ages then stepped into the cafe that presents a star-studded night view. They sat face to face while waiting for the waiter to come to present the order.
Aira looked up at the night sky. Glanced at the mother who was seen calling her stepfather with a happy face. His tanned eyes looked back at the sky. The night wind was so cold. His heart was frozen and lonely.
Aira flinched as a warm coat wrapped around the girl's shoulder. He looked up and found Alvin with his usual flat face. For a moment the two were silent and just staring at each other. Until the loud deheman of the mother resuscitated the two.
"I'm Alvin Aunt" said Alvin. Then sit there when the Rose invites you to join. Aira just kept silent.
Rawar and Alvin are involved in a conversation about the business between the Damara family and cooperation with Ibrahim. Rose Larasati Husband.
Aira again threw a face of annoyance feeling ignored. Staring back at the night sky that looks calm and may also be lonely. Until the stars appear and realize Aira that anyone and anything that is basically no one is ever alone. There are always people with him but sometimes he doesn't realize it.
Aira clenched tightly onto Alvin's coat while smiling sideways. Warm. Then it grew warmer as the man's hand slipped under the table and towards Aira's hand. Gently rubbed the girl's tiny hand.
Aira looked up and looked at Alvin who was still speaking courteously to his mother. The face was extremely flat as usual but how could it treat Aira so sweetly without even a word!
"It's cold here, Tan" said Alvin. While glancing at Aira at a glance and then looking back at a woman his mother's age.
"Yes, but Aira likes to see the night sky. That's why the mother is making it here," said the mother while smiling warmly looking at Aira.
Seeing Aira throw away her face, Alvin knitted his eyebrows together. Until the ringing of the phone makes Rose stay away for a moment to receive a call that is out of who.
Alvin then looked at Aira who was still cool looking at the sky and was just silent. The man looked at their two linked hands.
"Why?" Alvin asked with deep eyes looking at Aira. He knew today there was something different about the girl.
"See Adelia's post? he's my best friend Ra. Maybe you don't believe it. But even when our relationship is in the courtship stage. We still act like we're acting."
Aira frowned. Alvin explained without waiting for him to ask. Very awkward plus the speech was soft and also very polite. Using the words 'me' and 'you'. Never been like that before.
"Other than this, is there anything else that disturbs your mind?"
Aira nodded her head. Haven't said yet. The mother came back in front of them.
"What are you talking about?" it was the mother's tease that made Alvin laugh.
"We were talking about a child who ran away with his neighbor. He was only 14 years old, he said." Alvin says original.
"Oh yes, mother is also horrified. That's viral on social media?" The rose looked at Alvin and Aira. Both nodded their heads.
"Everything happened because her parents were too trusting. Though someone who is close and has known for a long time is not necessarily trustworthy." Alvin said casually but was able to make roses freeze.
"Yes, just like a mother who trusts her stepson over her own. Funny thing is that even his son will be taken care of. Don't want to open your eyes that actually stepbrother is one of the dangerous men for a young girl." Aira chimed in with a tone of sarcasm.
Roses are riveted and mute.
