Xander remained seated on the dining table chair. He noticed Alona washing the dishes. His eyes refused to turn away for even a second.
Alona felt a little strange. He felt uneasy when Xander looked at him constantly. It is not a beautiful sight so it should be noticed very intense "Mr Xander please go. I can't work if you keep looking at me like that."
Xander laughs. "Alona Don't be so confident. I'm just afraid you broke my glass and my prance."
Whahuh? alona's eyes glared. I didn't hear wrong. The man was only worried about the plate and the glass. Alona turned to look at Xander. He slammed the pring, "prank". "Let the plate break. I don't care." Alona muttered in her heart.
"Alona!," Xander gave a warning.
"I'm sorry I didn't intentionally. My hands are slippery because of too much soap." Alona spoke without hesitation. He did not show that he did it intentionally.
Xander walked towards Alona. "Darling do you know what your mistake was?"
Alona shook her head not caring.
"you ignore me." Xander hugged Alona from behind.
"Xander let me go. I'm not a doll you can just hug and kiss."
"Alona you're so stingy. I'm not gonna drive you home if you're always mad like the yellow cat in your house. You're just like your cat bar-bar." Xander whispered the word bar-bar loudly in Alona's ear.
"No matter. I have legs and hands. I can go home by myself." Alona responded to Xander casually.
Xander stood tilted propped his hands up on the sink near the dishwasher while watching Alona. "Did you look around this house?, there's no house and no big street, there's only this house in the middle of the woods."
Alona froze in place. His chest gasped in shock upon hearing that there was no other house.
Xander nodded his head.
"It doesn't matter if you want to walk. Then you can enjoy your trip to the city. Walk maybe 3 hours. It's good to manage that fat body of yours." When he finished speaking, Xander immediately ran towards his room on the second floor.
"Xander!" Alona yelling. "Do you like to prank me."
Alona could not believe that such a magnificent house existed in the middle of the forest. Alona immediately went out of the house. Alona was surprised to find that the house was completely in the middle of the forest. There is no road, no house beside it.
Alona was afraid, what if in the house there were snakes or other wild animals. Alona ran to the second floor. He immediately approached Xander. "Xander, we should go home today. It's not right here. I don't think this house is a house in general. This house is a haunted house."
Xander shocked Alona so much that the woman screamed and hugged him in fear.
"Xander I'll hit you if you prank me again."
Alona let go of her embrace. As he wanted to leave Xander pulled his hand again. "Alona I love you"
Alona shuts up and looks Xander in the eye. His lips turned pale. Alona was like a demon when Xander said her love. He became clumsy unable to move. It was as if something was pressing down on his body.
"I love you too Xander. Really-love you. Alona spelled out her words.
Xander was already glad his heart started pumping when he heard Alona say that she loved him too.
"But-" Alona paused for a moment at the words she was about to say.
Xander was already impatient at the words that wanted to come out of Alona's mouth.
"I'm sorry someone has one."
Xander was disappointed and smiled lightly at Alona. "Be prepared I'll take you somewhere."
"I don't have a change of clothes." Alona took a deep breath and then took it out slowly.
Just open my brother's closet you can wear it.
On the way, Xander stopped his car on the side of the road. There are large florists selling a wide variety of flowers. Without being told to go down Alona immediately stepped her foot out of the car. Her eyes always glittered when she saw her favorite rose. Alona took one by one of the types of roses that are sold. When he realized the roses he took were already a basket full. Alona checked her wallet. Alona closed her eyes when she saw that her wallet was empty with no money for a penny. Debit cards, credit cards, also none. Alona left her flower basket to the seller. Not to forget, he also sent a message. "Auntie can see, that handsome man is my lover." Alona pointed to Xander who was busy choosing flowers. The middle-aged woman nodded her head a sign she understood. "I'll drop this flower basket with Aunt she'll pay. Ok Auntie"
"Darling I'll be waiting for you in the car." Alona gave her sweetest smile hoping that the man did not suspect her current deeds.
Xander turned his head towards Alona and nodded his head.
Alona sat elegantly in the car. The woman continued to fix her facial nose. He must keep smiling must not show nervousness when Xander finished paying his flowers.
"Bi please wrap this flower. I'm done." Xander called the florist.
"Good sir." The middle-aged woman immediately wrapped the flower very pretty.
"How much is it all Bi?"
"Three commas five sir." The seller mentions the amount that must be paid.
Xander spent 350 thousand rupiah and handed the money to the florist.
"Sorry sir I mean. Three million five hundred thousand rupiah." The florist replicates his words.
Xander was shocked not to play. When he heard the flowers he bought were of fantastic value. The man did not mind the price but he thought more logically. Can flowers to sow precious tombs up to millions of rupiah?
"I'm sorry Auntie didn't you miscalculate?. I mean, I just bought a regular flower for the funeral. Can it be that expensive?" Xander asked a little hesitantly afraid of offending the florist.
"It's not wrong, sir. Your lover leaves this flower" The florist shows Alona a basket of roses.
Xander's face turned black like coal. His head will break. That woman can prank me again and again.
Xander took out his wallet again. "I'm sorry my aunt paid me a debit card. I don't have any cash."
"Good Sir. No problem"
With a grim face Xander slammed the door of his car very tight. Xander threw the pseudo rose towards Alona who was sitting in the front seat. "Don't be greedy if you don't have money."
Alona smiled shyly, "Thank you very kindly."
Alona held a flower in her hand. He smelled every rose.
Seeing Alona happy Xander's anger gradually dissipates. The man turned his head slightly towards Alona noticing the funny behavior of the woman. A smile adorned his handsome face.
Alona yawned repeatedly. His eyes began to close bit by bit. Unable to bear the taste, he closed his sleeping eyes by hugging his flowers.
Xander sees Alona sleeping so funny "Alona you're a sleepy woman. Just a minute in the car was asleep."
Alona wakes up from her sleep. His eyes stared out the glass window. He saw a public funeral in front of him. "Xander?" Alona called out to Xander, and then she looked to her side. Alona does not find Xander next to her. "Where is he?, why did Xander leave me alone in the car?"
From a distance Alona saw Xander's back sitting next to the funeral. Alona came down to Xander.
"Dad, mother, my sister is coming. I'm sorry I'm so busy that I forget you." Xander smiled at the funeral of his father, mother and brother.
Alona holds Xander's shoulder as she arrives at the funeral. Xander turned towards Alona and stood up.
"Xander?, brother!?"
"Xander nodded his head. "Yes my brother died five years ago." Xander looks lethargic.
Alona hugged Xander. "Patience, I can feel what you're feeling. My parents are gone too."
