Not Forbidden Love

35. Unaltered

Two days after Feli's meeting with Noura, Feli locked himself in his room more. He even avoided Darren. Fear haunted him. Fear that Daddy is a killer. Darren's fear will hate him and stay away from him.

At dinner, he was also quieter. Mike who is usually indifferent is also confused by Feli's changes. He spoke if only someone asked.

The curious Mike is now standing in front of Feli's room door. He raised his hand, knocking on Feli's room door.

"Feli.ini I'm Mike. Can I come in"

There's no answer. His silence was considered Mike as the answer yes. He opened the door to Feli's room. It turns out that his guess was not wrong. Her sister has a problem. But what's the problem? Mike came to him to find out what his brother was facing.

He walked slowly towards Feli who was daydreaming facing the window of his room by hugging his two bent legs.

"Hey.." Mike touched Feli's shoulder. Feli jerked

"You're fine" asked Mike gently. Feli shakes. Her tears just flow. Mike was confused and panicked

"Say what's wrong with you. Don't cry like this brother" Mike pulled Feli into his arms. Feli blaring. Releasing his baldness for these few days.

"I'm afraid Mike.I have to what now" Feli's raving is unclear.

"Hey.calm yourself first" Mike rubbed Feli's back gently

"You had a fight with Darren" Mike said when he saw Feli calm down.

"Then what's your problem? What are you afraid of?" Mike lifted his brother's face. Feli shook his head. Mike is too small for Feli. It was impossible for him to share his story with his sister. He also doesn't want Mike to feel the fear he feels once he hears of his Daddy's past.

Feli believes his Daddy must have a reason for his actions. But to ask that, Feli did not have the courage. He was scared after hearing her reality he would hate his Daddy. That's really not what he wants. No matter how much his love for Darren is still his love for his Daddy is greater. Her Daddy was her first love. Her pride.

The first time he met his dad, he liked him a lot. Even before he knew that Felix was his Daddy. They met when Feli was 4 years old. He was not ready to hear any reason. Feli decided to keep it to himself. He prayed that Darren would not know. Oh poor Feli. He really did not know what he was afraid of now was a futile fear because in fact Darren already knew it.

"I'm fine now Mike"

"Come out" she asked

"I want to rest" he said again.

Mike frowning. He wanted to protest but Feli had climbed on his bed and covered his body with a blanket.

"Alright if you don't want to tell me now. But remember me, Daddy, Mommy and Darren will always be there for you" Mike leaned over and kissed his brother's forehead covered in a blanket.

The sunlight penetrating through the small cracks of Feli's room made him slightly disturbed by it. Asking her cornea to move so she opens her eyes and wakes up from her sleep.

Feli blinked his eyes a few times to familiarize his eyes with the light that pierced his room. He looked beside his bed. Still neat. It's been two days since Darren broke into his room. There is a sense of loss but there is also a sense of relief in the heart of Feli. He was relieved that Darren did not come to him so he did not need to find a reason to avoid. But he was also disappointed why Darren had not come to him. Darren doesn't see a change in Feli.

Feli went to the bathroom to clean himself up. Ten minutes of time in the bathroom. He glanced at the wall clock. Feli sighed. Darren must not have gone to work, inwardly. He immediately walked out of his room to the dining table. He saw that his family was complete

"Good morning everyone" There were no cries of excitement or hysterics. Just a flat, non-pitched greeting. He kissed all his family. No jokes like usual. Everyone was confused but didn't know how to voice it.

Feli sat down as soon as Darren pulled out a chair for him.

"You're fine" Darren stared fixedly at Feli's face.

Feli smiled faintly then nodded. Darren frowned then looked at Mommy and Daddy alternately as if asking for an explanation. Mommy and her Daddy also looked at her with the same gaze as if asking what happened to you and Feli. Of course Darren doesn't know the answer because he doesn't feel he has a problem with Feli. Darren feels some days Feli is like avoiding him but he did not have time to ask because he was busy watching people who were trying to ruin the happiness of his family.

The atmosphere of the McKenzie family breakfast passed quietly and quietly. Things that never happened before.

"Really I don't like this atmosphere" Mike broke the silence. Whereas before when Feli messed up and Darren made his Daddy upset he just calmly in silence enjoying his breakfast as if unaffected and not caring about the surrounding circumstances.

"I'm done"

"What's wrong with her?" Mika looked at Feli's back which started to disappear.

"You quarreled with her?" Felix looked at Darren who was staring at the stairs looking at the already invisible Feli.

Darren shakes. She was also confused about what was going on with her lover.

"I'm going upstairs" Darren left without waiting for Mommy and Daddy to answer.

Darren knocked on Feli's room door. It didn't take long for Feli to open the door to his room. Darren smiled warmly but Feli just stared at him flatly

"Darling" Darren stroked Feli's face. Feli hanyan was silent.

"You sure are fine" Darren asked worriedly.

"I'm fine Darren. I'm not a little kid anymore. I can take care of myself" he said. Darren jerks. For the first time Feli was cold to her. He was sure something happened.

"Go"

"You can be late" Feli said

Darren flinched back but he nodded.

"Alright, I'm leaving" Darren kissed Felis' forehead before leaving. Darren twisted his body and left Feli. Feli shut the door immediately. Indeed he felt the pain in his heart as he acted coldly to Darren.

Feli immediately grabbed her phone and contacted Rachel. The second Rachel picked up her phone.

"I'm going back to work" he said to the point

"Darren's allowed it?" Rachel asked across the phone.

"I don't need anyone's permission as long as I don't break their promise" Feli replied and decided on his call.

Feli threw his phone away. He took a deep breath in removing the tightness in his chest. Feli's phone is ringing. Darren called. Feli believes Rachel's been in contact with Darren.

"What's wrong?" Feli raised his call

"What meda?" Darren makes small talk

"Rachel called?" Feli ignored Darren's question.

"Have you eaten?" Darren asked.

"I'll disconnect the call" threatened Feli

"I'm sorry" said Darren. Feli. Darren is wrong. It was himself who was wrong. And he should have apologized.

"Tell me if I'm wrong"

"But don't act like this to me Feli" Darren pleaded

"I'll get back to work" said Feli heavily

"I mean, I'm going back to my work" Feli heard Darren sighing heavily. He was sure Darren had ruffled his hair in frustration.

"I'll be home soon. We'll discuss it at home" after saying that Darren disconnected his call.

"What exactly was my mistake ?" murmured Darren to himself. His brain was tired of spinning around thinking about what his mistake was so Feli suddenly changed so.
