Alenta stood beside the road facing towards a river. Sepi, that's why Alenta chose to stop there. She quietly cried, biting her lips so as not to let out her crying voice. But his moving back could not lie to Nick who was asked to stand a little far away from him.
Disappointed, perhaps to describe a feeling of disappointment that would not be possible, measuring how much disappointment it would also not be able to because it was too big and too deep. True, he looked so cold, indifferent, even so rude when talking to his father earlier, but his heart that felt sadness was also unable to be ignored.
Twenty years he had lived without his father, memories that he remembered only a tiny bit were unable to dispel, or at least a little bit of a feeling of disappointment in his chest. Actually, not the hate that Alenta felt, but the disappointment when he saw his father, also Rahayu's mother was too painful. The shadow of her father laughing happily while holding Talita, hugging her with a smile, rubbing her hair with a gentle gaze, there was even a day where Alenta was sick, she even got convulsed a few times, he said, he kept calling his father, but he didn't come, was he busy? Aye! He is busy on vacation with his new wife and son.
Can he forgive for never earning a living as a child, but the more affection he can not feel, the more days make him foster disappointment after much hope to his father.
" why? Why can't I be compared to that kid? Even though I went to school with a track of achievement, even working part-time for my allowance, I also bought clothes, and also school needs with my own hard work. Do I have to be a spoiled child like your son and him so you can love me? "
Nick was silent for a moment when he saw Alenta's back trembling because he was crying. He did not know exactly what it was like to be hurt by his own father because he got a lot of affection from everyone, but given that he is often different from Reiner who is smart and wise in making decisions, little does he understand what it feels like. Nick walked over to Alenta, then hugged him from behind.
" You keep staring at the river from up here, are you so frustrated after talking to your father and then committing suicide? "
Alenta wiped his tears, then tried to get Nick's hand off his body.
" Why should I kill myself just because of that man? "
Nick put his face on Alenta's shoulders, then tightened his embrace even more.
" Why then do you keep looking down while crying? Not-don't the torrent of that from your tears huh? "
Alenta firmly let go of Nick's hand, then turned to look at him, and Nick immediately restrained his standing position.
" I was just upset, so upset that I couldn't bear to cry. "
Nick sighed, then grabbed Alenta's arm, bringing Alenta's body into his arms.
" I won't ask you to forgive them, nor will I ask you to come to terms with the past, but I'm really asking you to keep numbering yourself. If you still want to fill in, you can fill in my needed. " Say Nick and smile afterwards.
" Who wants to cry? You think I'm that weak? "
" Crying does not mean weak, weak is a person who is always afraid to take risks, and always hesitant to step. Crying does sound like a weak marker, but crying it can reduce your sadness. "
Goddamnit! Nick's words just now completely rendered him helpless. Even though it was just ordinary words, but it really made her unable to resist crying anymore. Alenta was initially still able to hold back, but over time because of the feeling of comfort, as well as a warm embrace from Nick, finally wept his tears, he said, the sound of her crying was also no longer bearable and she could freely fill in Nick's arms.
A few moments later.
" I heard, Talita has started working at the company, are you okay to see her in the office? " Task Nick after Alenta has completely calmed down, and now they are also on their way home.
Alenta breathed.
" He's acceptable for work, it's also definitely because he has the ability, so as much as possible I should apply as I should. "
Nick agreed. Actually a bit slipping too, because Alenta again had to be smart, but this is also what makes Nick so admire Alenta secretly.
Arriving home, Nick and Alenta change their clothes to sleep, and lie down in bed as tomorrow is Monday, and as usual, they will be, Monday is the laziest day for Nick because there will be a lot of new work, while the old one has not been completed.
" Alenta, are you asleep? "
Nick brought his body closer, then hugged Alenta from behind.
" Don't be angry? Sleeping while hugging you seems to be my routine."
Alenta was silent, but he also did not want to brush Nick's hand, especially to be angry. His energy was completely drained away, so he really did not want to do anything until he fell asleep soundly.

" Talita? " Who Rahayu's mother who accidentally saw her daughter was still not asleep and sat on the porch of the house looking at the sky that night was filled with stars of the night.
" mother? Mommy hasn't slept? "
Rahayu's mother smiled, then sat down next to Talita.
" Nobody, it's not ten in the night either. Then you? why don't you sleep? You know your dad always said that at nine o'clock you had to rest? "
Talita breathed a sigh.
" I'm a grown-up Mom, which grown-up girl does anyone sleep at that hour? "
Rahayu's mother chuckled, then rubbed Talita's head gently.
" Are you thinking about something until you haven't slept? " Task Rahayu's Mother.
Talita smiled shyly, even her cheeks until red.
" I know it's inappropriate, but these days I've always been shadowing Boss Nick's face, he's so handsome huh Mom? I'm not wrong to idolize my own Boss, am I? "
Rahayu's mother understood confused.
" Who was the guy I saw picking you up from Chloe's company? You guys seem familiar too. "
" Oh, it's Alenta's sister's lover, he's a good person and very friendly, so it doesn't matter if I'm familiar with the future sister-in-law? "
Rahayu's mother swallowed her own saliva.
" Talita, you better stay away from that guy, he's your brother's girlfriend, don't let there be a misunderstanding, son. "
" Look down, Mom, I know. "
Rahayu's mother looked worriedly.
No, don't kid! At first Mom was like that too, please don't follow in Mom's footsteps.
Seriate.
