Pursuing Simple Male Love

Chapter 3 Tells Alex a Story

Aurel, the girl cried when she told Alex on the phone. Only to Alex he dared to tell everything, Alex who always heard his complaints all along.

Alex listened to Aurel tell a good story, he knew Aurel needed people to listen to his story.

"Have cried? Aurel, you are a strong woman, you must not give up. I'll always be by your side and ready to listen to all the stories."

Alex always gives words to encourage Aurel, even the behavior of Alex who always cares about Aurel makes Aurel himself comfortable with Alex.

"Alex, I'm tired if it keeps going like this. I also want to be like my friends who have a harmonious family, "said Aurel who has now shed tears.

Hearing Aurel's sobs, Alex is confused about what to do. Alex looked at the clock on his wrist. He wanted to go to Aurel's house, but it was already night.

Eventually, Alex turned their phone line into a video call. Alex wants to see how Aurel is doing.

"Oh, don't cry. Look at your big cheeks next door" Alex chuckled at Aurel's adorable face at a time like this.

Hearing Alex's words, Aurel quickly looked for a glass to see her face now. 

"Aaaaa, so ugly!” erang Aurel with his cries. He was embarrassed to make a video call Alex when his face was like this.

Alex laughed softly at Aurel's behavior, which he thought was funny.

At that very moment, Aurel heard the sound of a very loud bang. It made him jump in shock, even Alex who was on the other side heard the voice.

Reflexes, Aurel throws his cell phone into bed. He looked at the door of his room with a body of fear, being in this position made him afraid and confused about what to do.

Aurel retrieved his phone again still fearfully entering the recesses of his heart. From there, Alex can see the state of Aurel is very chaotic.

"Aurel,"

Aurel averted his gaze to stare at his phone after a long time he stared at the door of his room. 

"Silent. Don't be afraid, Aurel." said Alex to appease Aurel.

Aurel looked at Alex who was also looking at him. He tried to obey Alex's words to be calm and not afraid. However, the condition of his body that shook violently and sweat that poured down could not lie to his feelings that were surrounded by fear.

"Alex, I'm scared" Aurel said in a soft voice. Slowly, her tears fell back.

"Pull your breath and breathe out slowly. There is nothing to fear, nothing to hurt you. I'll always protect you, Aurel."

Aurel was quite calm hearing Alex's words. However, the sound of the broken glass still rang out loud in his ears.

"I'm still a little afraid of that voice," 

Aurel stopped his words, he took his breath to continue on again.

"Alex, why the hell is mommy and papa always fighting? What because of me, huh? Mama always left me alone with Papa" Aurel continued, his chest tight as he said that.

Only Mario cares about Aurel, but Aurel remains grateful at least he can get the affection of Mario.

"No, papa Mario loves you very much. Don't say that again, you'll be sad." Alex replied.

Alex does not want Aurel to be sad, he wants Aurel to be happy and smile cheerfully as usual. He loved Aurel very much.

Alex will try to make Aurel forget his sadness, even if only for a moment. At least he could see Aurel smiling again.

Only to him Aurel can free his free story. Because so far only Alex is very close friends with Aurel. Aurel doesn't even have any friends because of his papa's possessiveness, Mario doesn't want his daughter to get hurt.

"If they love me, why don't they do what I want? They attach more importance to their own ego than I do!" 

"I just want to feel his happiness loved by mom and dad. But I only got it from Papa. Why is your mom so happy with me?!"

Aurel spoke to Alex while shouting, he cried roaring. Wreak all the emotions that were in the recesses of his heart.

Aurel was angry, upset and sad. The three feelings were mixed in his heart. He could only cry to make his feelings relieved.

Alex lets Aurel yell at him, knowing Aurel is very tired of his life. There was nothing Alex could do to appease Aurel.

"Aurel, I'm going to your house, okay? That way you can calm down and not be scared anymore," 

Alex's eyes stared at Aurel with sadness. Alex was sad to see the condition of the woman he loved like this, eager Alex to embrace the fragile body.

"No. I didn't let you come here. At home mom and dad are fighting, how can you come here? Ah come on, I turn it off." said Aurel, he wanted to calm down so as not to panic too much. After all, the sound of shards and throws had already disappeared.

"Rest, Aurel. If there's anything, just call me." Alex replied. Actually he did not want Aurel to turn off his phone, he wanted to see Aurel fall asleep and then he turned off his phone.

But let it be. Maybe Aurel wanted to rest, it was much better than Alex seeing Aurel crying hysterically. It would only make his heart tear apart.

Hearing Alex's words, Aurel nodded his head. He turned off their phone. Aurel stared at the door of his room, hoping it would not be there until he fell asleep.

Aurel began to lay down his body on the bed, he closed his eyes for a moment. Hopefully, his life will be better tomorrow. Aurel's already quite tired of tonight's troubles.

As Aurel closed his eyes, a very strong impact was heard in his ears. Sontak Aurel immediately opened his eyes. He thought his parents had stopped fighting, but they had not.

Aurel was afraid to hear the sounds of shards and strikes that seemed creepy was heard in his ears. Aurel's body trembled violently indicating he was in fear.

"I'm scared" said Aurel. He closed his eyes when he heard the voice, as if if he opened his eyes to shards and the blow would go to himself. At times like this he needs someone to lean on and erase all his fears.

“Papa, I'm afraid, pa.” murmured Aurel put his head on his feet. Usually Mario will come to him and hug him giving warmth when Aurel is scared. But this is not, it is precisely Mario and Carramel who scare Aurel.

Aurel looked at her phone that was beside her. He wants to call Alex, but what if Alex is asleep? Even though the guy was talking he had to call Alex when there was nothing, still Aurel was not feeling well. Alex won't rest if he calls her, better for tonight let Aurel calm himself.
