Alenta breathed deeply and exhaled slowly. This activity has been done several times, but still he felt he could not also eliminate the feeling of nervousness and also angry because again had to see his father. Actually not a strange thing, but after five years of not meeting because Alenta tried to avoid as much as possible, it turned out that there was also a time for him to meet again even though he was reluctant.
" It's me, don't worry. " Nick said as he clasped Alenta's hands which felt so cold and sweaty. Of course, it is undeniable that Alenta is very nervous and must also refrain from doing stupid things when provoked by emotions later.
Alenta momentarily fell silent at how warm Nick's hand was now clutching his hand tightly. Perhaps, if this was done when his heart was not as chaotic as it is today, Nick's hand would have been he patted firmly. But, really Nick's hands really feel warm right now, even his gaze also looks like a figure who can be relied on. Weird huh? But that's what Nick is like right now in Alenta's eyes.
" Boss, what if that guy asks with our relationship? "
" We tell the truth that we're married. " Answer Nick, relax.
" No, don't you, I know exactly what his wife is like now. "
" It's sad, it's really pity you Nick, in the end he's a behind-the-scenes husband. "
Alenta sighed, then pulled Nick's hand all the way to the main door.
" Don't hold hands, they'll be suspicious. "
Nick sighed, when else could it be as romantic as it is now?
Alenta again took a breath, then knocked on the door of the simple house that lived by his biological father and his new family.
" sister? " Sapa Talita, the girl was smiling happily, but she could only do so to the extent of knowing that hugging Alenta was like welcoming a sister back home, he will definitely get a bad attitude from Alenta. Not to mention he also saw Boss Nick there. Somewhat strange because the company boss had to accompany his secretary, but whatever the reason Talita can only be inward and still smile as she should.
" Mr Nick is coming too? Good night, Boss Nick? " Sapa Talita with courtesy.
" night. " Reply Nick smiled for a moment.
" Please come in, brother, Boss Nick too. ''
Alenta said nothing, and he chose to follow where Talita walked to meet the man he said was his father.
" Dad, look who's coming! " Talita ran to her father who was sitting while chatting with a boy about fifteen years old, and Talita hugged her father as if she was so happy.
" Alentas? " The man named Baskoro, he's Alenta's real father. The man looked at Alenta with reddened eyes as if enduring a huge longing, slowly released his embrace with Talita, and he prepared to approach Alenta who was standing with a flat, flat expression, maybe she wanted to hug Alenta.
" Happy birthday, Mr. Baskoro. " Alenta's words just now really made his father's footsteps come to a sudden halt. His reddened eyes held back longing now turned disappointed, even until his eyes had runny. Mr Baskoro, why? He should have been called Dad, right? It has been decades, but not once when he met Alenta called his name with the name Father as when he was a child.
" Alenta, how are you, son? " Baskoro's father slowly approached Alenta after rubbing his eyes so as not to shed tears. He thought that, maybe Alenta would be a little touched as he tried to get closer by asking him the news. Actually in the previous days, Baskoro's father always sent a message to ask Alenta news, but Alenta did not memubris message let alone reply to him.
Alenta clenched his hands holding back in anger, angry? Aye! Because every time he saw the face of his father, Talita, even now there is also the wife of his father, his heart was racing as if to blame them all for what happened to him and his biological mother. But, trying to hide feelings is Alenta's expertise, so it is not difficult to smile sweetly at a time like this.
As soon as their distance got closer, Alenta still smiled sweetly as if to show that the man who was looking at her longing was a stranger to her. Sick? Aye! Not only was it painful for Baskoro's father, but it was also painful for Alenta. If only, the beautiful memories of when he was little more, if only the pain given by his father was not too deep, maybe Alenta could smile sincerely, he said, still able to stretch both arms to hug the man, it was even possible that Alenta could still call Father and receive his stepmother's sister. But, if and if the word cannot be used by the past, where could Alenta be what it is today?
" Alenta, my princess, can't we use language as if our relationship is so far away? Can I hold you as a father? "
Alenta honestly wanted to say rudely, but he still smiled, even amazingly he did not look like crying, let alone sad.
" Baskoro sir, of course you can. " Alenta hugged Baskoro's father's body with smiling lips.
Mr Baskoro, again? Why does Alenta seem to remind and press with those words so that his father still keeps his distance from him. Alenta may now hug his father, but through his words it was clear that the hug was the same as a hug to a business partner, or arguably respect.
Soon, Nick and Alenta sit down at the dinner table for dinner. There was not much Nick said, he only answered as necessary when Aleta's father, also his stepmother said hello to talk. Understandably, Nick is the President of Chloe who is already famous in this country, so the arrival of Nick has actually made them feel proud and happy of course.
" Sister, brother home from work? Why come with Boss Nick? "
Alenta fell silent, he actually did not want to answer, but for the sake of hiding his feelings, he tried his best to smile.
" We've just met a client, so all of you stop by. " Said Alenta. Huh! It's amazing, normally wouldn't Alenta be angry when he called her big sister?, Talita's inner self.
" So, this Alenta brother is my first brother huh yeah? " Task the boy named Damar, he is the second son of Baskoro's father with his current wife.
" Yes, he's your brother. When I first brought Alenta's brother here, you were a kid, so you definitely don't remember his face. " Baskoro's father rubbed his son's head so gently, he even smiled with the warm gaze of a Father whom he had longed for so much.
I can't take it anymore.
Alenta lowered his hand, he clasped so firmly that it trembled. But because Nick saw it, Nick quickly lowered his one hand, opened the hand slowly, then linked his fingers.
There's me, Alenta.
Nick smiled, as did Alenta who was now staring at him.
Seriate.
