Only Your Shadow

Brian Apartment

The dew was amazed to see Brian's apartment. Just this time he saw an apartment that looked more like that house. Brian's apartment itself consists of two floors, which carries a blend of classic and modern. Aldo shows the room that will be occupied during his stay there.

" This is your room." Aldo opened the door.

" Is this not excessive? It seems too big for me." Dew saw the room he was going to occupy.

Aldo smiled and entered with a Dew bag.

" I think it's small. You should've occupied a room on the second floor bigger." Aldo. He put the Dew bag on the bed.

" Now you take a shower, I'll order you some food." Aldo walked out of the room.

Dew put his clothes in the closet, then went to take a shower. After finishing and changing clothes, Dew came out to the dining room. At the dining table Dewun saw Aldo who was sitting waiting for him. At the table there are several dishes available. Dew's stomach immediately sounded looking at all the food in front of him.

" It looks like the worms in your stomach are starving. Let's sit down and eat." Aldo. The dew immediately sat down and took food. Aldo propped up his chin with his hands and smiled looking at the Dew that was eating voraciously.

" Eat slowly. If it's less I'll order it again."

" Did you eat right in the hospital?" Aldo.

" When I was in the hospital I didn't eat well. I don't feel at ease seeing Brian's unconscious state." Answer Dew.

" Are you so worried about her?" Ask Aldo curious.

" Of course. How can I not worry, Brian got hurt so much for saving me." The dew stopped eating. Aldo looked at the vibrating Dew spoon. He immediately stood up from the chair and moved to sit beside the Dew.

" Cry, if it calms you down." Aldo took the spoon that Dew held and placed it on the table.

Dew lowered his head, and Aldo saw Dew's shoulders tremble followed by the sound of a sobbing. Aldo grabbed the head of the Dew and placed it on his shoulders. Now not only the sobbing that Aldo heard, but now Aldo heard the sound of Dew's cry that was quite loud.

" It's not your fault. Even if you don't want to, Brian will still save you even if life is at stake." Aldo stroking hair Dew. Hearing that, the louder the weeping of the Dew.

" So stupid Brian." Dew speech interrupted his crying. Aldo smiled at the words Dewun.

Aldo straightened his head and wiped away the tears on his cheek.

" Already, now you continue to eat it again. I don't want to blame Brian if you go hungry." Aldo. The dew nodded and took his spoon back.

" May I have an egg." Pinta Dew while biting her spoon. Aldo could not help his laughter. The food at the table is not yet finished, but Dew has asked to be ordered martabak.

" Well I ordered. Just a minute." Aldo ruffled - a random Dew hair then stood up for the martabak message.

Dew smiled happily. He went back to eating. Dew saw his phone, he wondered why all day there was no news from Dion. Dion promised to come to the hospital to see Brian.

*****

The next day, Dew came to the hospital with Aldo. He opened the door and saw Brian sitting on the bed reading.

Dew approached Brian and peeked at what Brian was reading. Dew shook his head after finding out that what Brian was reading was a file for a company project.

" Have you eaten?" Brian asked without taking his eyes off the file he was reading.

" I'm supposed to ask you what you've eaten yet." Dew sits on the side of the bed. Brian put the file down and smiled at Dew.

" I ate earlier. Do you live in my apartment? What if you just move there? Looks like the neighborhood in your hostel isn't safe." Brian's Advice.

" What would an office person say if they knew I was living in your apartment. I also don't know how to explain it to my parents later. I'd better find another hostel." Dew rejects Brian's advice.

" Nobody will know that you live there. Your parents would also agree that you live in my apartment. Otherwise you can stay in my other apartment." Answer Brian.

" Of course, I'm their son-in-law's candidate." Briane answered with a relaxed Dew question.

Not only did the Dew startle Brian's statement, but Aldo and Kris did too. Aldo even dropped the food he was holding.

" Why are the three of you so dumb?" Ask Brian. Aldo and Kris looked at each other, they were both confused by what Brian was thinking right now.

" Who wants to be your future wife?" Ask Dew.

" Have you forgotten? Back in the warehouse the other day, you already accepted my proposal." Brian leaned his body forward.

" That's.that's.that's when I wasn't panicking because you were hurt, so I'll just answer your question." The dew fanned his face with his hands.

" So you accepted it for fear of me dying? Okay, then next time I'll propose to you again. You just wait." Brian said casually and went back to reading the file.

" It's not so." Dew Word.

" It's not what? You're home, I'm gonna take a break." Banish Brian.

Dew was upset and stood up from his seat. He stared at Brian. While Brian was indifferent and did not look at Dew at all. Dew was really upset, he stomped his feet and then left the room. Brian held back his laughter looking at the dew until his wound felt throbbing.

" Aldo go after him." Brian's orders after the laughter stopped. He held onto his painful wound again.

Aldo sighed and came out to chase after Dew. He searched for Dew along the hospital aisle but did not find it either. Aldo walked out of the hospital, and finally found Dew sitting in a chair under a tree. Aldo immediately sat down beside the Dew, and set his breath back.

" Hot - hot rich gini, good eating ice cream." Dew thrust a pack of ice cream at Aldo. Aldo took the ice cream and opened it, and immediately bit the ice cream until half was left.

" I thought you left because you were upset with Brian?" Aldo asked, he bit his ice to the end and threw out his stick.

" Well, but he used to piss me off. Maybe it's his hobby." Answer the Dew casually. He opened the ice cream and gave it to Aldo.

" How much ice cream did you buy?" Ask Aldo who saw Dew was opening another pack of ice cream. The dew shows a plastic containing ice cream.

" Is it okay - do you eat that much?"

" What's wrong, Dion doesn't know. If he finds out, I'll be lectured." Answer Dew.

" You guys seem so close."

The clouds looked at the sky and smiled.

" You could say so. We have been friends since High School, then entered the same campus even though different majors. You know, but with his brain he could easily get into my city's favorite college. But he chose the same entrance as me." Dew laughs.

" Did you ever think that Dion had the same feelings as you?" Ask Aldo. Dew paused for a moment, he put down the ice cream he was eating.

" I don't know, Dion never said it." The dust shook his shoulders.

" What if it turns out that he really likes you, what are you going to do?"

" Hey, I'm not that pretty until a lot of people like me." Dew chuckles amusedly hearing Aldo's words.

" The proof is Tedi and Brian. And now maybe I like you too." Said Aldo staring at the Dew.

" That's just your eyes that siwer. You need to check your eyes if you really like me. I'm going home." Dew stood up and walked away.

Aldo grinned the horse and scratched his head. He then stood up and chased after the Dew. He's going to take Dew back to Brian's apartment. But Dewun refused, the plan today he will go home to his parents.
