Aurel woke up from his sleep, he felt his throat very dry.
"House" lirih Aurel. He went down his bed and into the kitchen, before reaching the kitchen he passed his parents' room. He overhears Aleta and Gio.
"Pa, you owe me the same explanation" said Aleta.
"What explanation?"
"Where are you going? Why not tell me?"
"I work out of town"
"I don't know pa, but somehow I'm not sure the same reason you are"
"It's up to you, I don't care" Gio threw himself in bed, leaving Aleta speechless by the bed.
"Sorry Leta, I know my words make you hurt, but this is for the good of all of us" said Gio, after which he closed his eyes.
"What are you really hiding?" Inner Aleta.
While Aurel, he did not understand what his parents were discussing. But Aurel can feel Aleta sad because of Gio's words. Aurel left his parents' room and took water in the kitchen. After feeling relieved Aurel returned to his room. The clock still shows at 02:00, Aurel pulls his blanket and goes to sleep.
Suddenly he woke up, there was a sound of crying. Aurel opened his eyes, he realized he was in his old room when he was hummed.
"Why am I here?" Mumbled Aurel. The sound of crying was heard again, Aurel slowly searched for the source of his voice. He saw a girl crying on the floor, her shabby clothes and messy hair made Aurel feel sorry for her.
"Hey what's wrong with you?" Aurel asked softly, he held onto the girl's shoulder. The girl stopped crying, Aurel was shocked as she held onto the girl's shoulder, her body was extremely cold.
"I'm lonely" the girl replied, her face covered in hair so Aurel couldn't see her face clearly. Hearing the girl's answer, Aurel didn't know what to answer?
"Where do you live?" Aurel asked, he tried to divert the conversation.
"here" briefly. Aurel doesn't understand, this is his house, how can this girl live in his house. Although this house he no longer lives in, but this house has not been sold by his parents.
"You mean, you live around here?" Ask Aurel to make sure.
"No, I live here" the girl laughed out loud, revealing her face full of wounds. But Aurel could still see his face clearly, it was the face he always saw when reflecting.
"Why wa-face-" Aurel could not continue his words, his throat as choked, the sound of a loud laughter pierced his ears.
"Aaaaaaaa" Aurel awakens from his sleep, but it turns out it was just a dream. Aurel's breathing is irregular, that dream? What a terrible dream for Aurel.
"Lo why?" Andra asked, when she heard Aurel yelling, she immediately ran to Aurel's room, and Aurel's location next to her made her hear Aurel's scream clearly.
"Father, it's just a nightmare" Aurel saw his Beker clock, already showing at 06:00 he immediately took a towel and headed for the bathroom.
"Lo get out there! I want to take a shower" Aurel asked, Andra came out of Aurel's room to obey Aurel's words.
"Andra, is Aurel awake?" Ask Aleta who just wanted to wake Aurel up.
"Udah Tan, get ready again" replied Andra.
"Well, oh have you had a shower?" Ask Aleta
"Udah Tan, why?"
"Can anterin aunty not?"
"Where can tan?"
"Later Auntie, there's breakfast!" Pinta Aleta's.
"Yes tan"
After getting ready, Aurel picked up his school bag and approached Aleta and Andra, who were having breakfast.
"Where's dad?" Aurel asked, he did not see his papa at the dinner table.
"Papa has departed" Aleta replied, Aurel realized that if his father had left it means he would rarely meet his father.
"Let's eat the rail, ntar Lo late!" Andra said, he knew Aurel was sad because gio did not say goodbye to him. Andra also knew that Aurel loved her father more than anything.
"Yes" a small nod from aurel.
Aurel drank the milk and bread that Aleta had prepared.
"Do you want me Anter?" Ask Andra.
"No, I got Darren"
"Oh okay"
"Mama doesn't like you being close to her" Aleta said.
"Why ma?"
"Mama don't do that, you can't see people from their looks"
"You know, but a mother's gut feeling never gets the wrong track, you know you like her? That's why mama says gini, don't let you regret"
"Yes ma" Aurel had no choice but to obey his mother.
"Mama doesn't like Darren, but that doesn't mean that you're not interested in him, you just don't want your relationship to be more than that, do you understand?"
"Yes ma, I understand"
A message came in on Aurel's phone and it turned out to be a message from Darren.
Darren:^^^
^^^Gue is already ahead^^^
"Ma I say yes, Darren has been nyampe" said Aurel.
"Yes, remember what mom said" before leaving Aleta again reminded aurel.
"Yes ma" Aurel immediately approached Darren, but he also remembered Aleta's words. What exactly happened why his mother did not like Darren, did Darren ever make a mistake on his mother.
Darren motor drove away from the Aurel home yard, along the way Aurel just silent like a statue. Darren who felt strange with Aurel's attitude, he stopped his bike.
"Why stop?" Ask Aurel.
"Lo why?" Ask Darren to the point.
"Well, why me?"
"Relatedly? Lo face asem tuh, not very tasty look"
"I'm face asem?"
"Yes"
"Damn it! Do you know me?" Aurel just realized the direction of Darren's speech.
"Kidding me" kekeh Darren.
Darren returns to school, as the way he entertains Aurel succeeds.
Aurel and Darren go hand in hand towards the classroom, the cold gaze of the people is no longer a big deal for Aurel and Darren. They seem to get used to it.
As Darren and Aurel were about to sit down, he found a piece of paper on his desk, it was written in red.
"Keep her!!!" Lirih Darren read the writing written on the paper.
"Who made it?" Ask Aurel.
"Don't know, what could have been a girl yesterday?" Guess Darren.
"So that means I'm being shunned?" Aurel pointed to himself.
"It can be"
"Why in the morning there is an emotion"
"Patience rail, Lo can not be emotional, who knows he just want to provoke the emotions Lo doang"
On the other hand, Andra is delivering Aleta to the hospital. Aleta said she had to check herself out, but Aleta didn't say what she wanted to check?
"Tan, what do you want to check?" Asked Andra, he was curious from the start, but Aleta did not want to tell him.
"You're quite anterin aunty, don't have to ask a lot of questions" Aleta's pinta, but andra can't, he's getting curious.
"Auntie's sick again?" Guess Andra, when Aleta fell silent she did not know what to answer.
"You don't tell Aurel yes" Aleta indirectly confessed to Andra.
"So aunty's really sick?" Andra was not in the end of thinking, how could it be? It is not that Aleta's disease has been declared cured by doctors.
"Yes"
"Isn't he cured by a doctor?" Ask Andra.
