“Kak Aeli, let me change who takes care of papa, yes?”
Three times Claudia repeated the same request. Staring wistfully at Aeli was beside Mahesa. The girl just silently did not answer, all she did was observe Mahesa's face while clasping the man's hand. Waiting for Mahesa's eyes to open and seeing her face.
Claudia did not give up, since yesterday she did not have the opportunity to take care of Mahesa because Aeli never left the man.
“Kak ... My brother came home, yes. Kaya Kakya tired really keep papa keep. Let it be my turn to change Brother,” refer Claudia.
“Diem. Voice you disturb.” Aeli replied coldly.
“Kak, I also want to take care of papa, Kak.”
“Gue don't believe in lo.”
Claudia's face became more and more sad, even now her eyes looked teary. “I promise I'll really take care of rich papa who Brother sells. Can you, Brother?”
“Clau mending lo go home. Gausah ngerecokin. This is my papa, I should have taken care of.”
Claudia's heart was struck by Aeli's words. “I'm also papa's biological son, sister. Can not, just once Brother do not be selfish to say papa is just his papa Brother.”
Aeli grinned, he removed his hand from Mahesa and stood up. Highlight Claudia nyalang.
“Lo told me not to be selfish?”
Claudia was silent. Clear liquid increasingly pooled in his eye peluk.
“Gue ingetin if you forget, the most selfish here is lo and mama lo. You want to acknowledge the world if you're a good person, right? Now I ask. Is there a good man who destroys the lives of others for his own pleasure? Keep thinking, you are not selfish?”
“Mom and I have never ruined Big Brother's life.”
“Keet you want to turn my back on me and say I ruined my own life?”
Claudia was silent for a moment. “Not it? Is it not your own brother who makes Brother's life ruined? Mama and I never even ngusik.”
Aeli laughed heartily. If he was not in the hospital room, it could be ascertained what he is now.
Then, Aeli took a step closer to Claudia. His facial expression was completely illegible, but the sharp gaze he put on managed to intrude on Claudia's courage. The girl clenched her hands, trying to hold on to keep returning Aeli's gaze.
“Lo not tired of living a lie, Clau? Not tired of constantly being someone else who is actually not lo really?”
Aeli smiled in a slant as Claudia just remained silent. “Golden mask you will not be able to cover your ugly face forever, Clau. Sooner or later people will also know who Claudia Ardani really is.”
Claudia's chest was rumbling. “I don't know what Brother said,” the cetus.
“Lo can just menggelabuin others with plain face lo it. But don't dream you can fuck me. Because I'm the only one who really knows how rotten you are rich what.”
“Stop. I don't want to hear Brother's talk anymore. Brother didn't like me in the past, did he? That's why Brother is always ugly I.”
Aeli's smile turned sweet. “Without me being ugly, you are already ugly. But you are really good at it until they managed to close their eyes and nganggelo most perfect human.”
Claudia's dead flea. He ran out of sentences to refute all of Aeli's words. Every word that came out of the girl's mouth was like a poison that quickly spread and crippled her enemy's defenses.
“Udah, yes. Mending lo go home, because I won't let you take care of my papa.”
Claudia breathed a heavy breath. “As for Brother, I'm tired.” The girl just walked out of the room. He was lucky for not getting Aeli's tantrums as usual.
Seeing the departure of Claudia Aeli's expression instantly changed completely. He mumbled low.
“Bitch.”
...•••...
Sky walked down the aisle of the hospital after asking at the reception where Mahesa's ward was. Sky's goal is not just to visit the man, but to see how Aeli is now.
Just as Sky reached the front of the room he was looking for, Aeli suddenly appeared from within. The shock on Aeli's face was clearly imprinted as soon as his eyes caught the figure of the handsome man he had been avoiding lately standing right in front of him.
Aeli's heart was pounding again like it was about to explode. He really did not expect to meet that guy in this place.
“Aeli,” call Sky. Staring at Lamat Aeli who immediately fell silent as soon as he saw it.
Sky felt the weight on his chest begin to decrease, he was relieved Aeli looked fine. Yes, although not as good as it looks.
“Lo what is here?”
Sky was stunned to hear Aeli's tone which was classified .. ketus? His voice looked unhappy too. I don't know why Sky's chest feels tight again.
“I want to look at your papa. Sorry I just brought this.” The man handed the fruit parcel to Aeli.
It took a while before Aeli received the item. “Still. Papa I'm fine, you're worried.”
Sky quiet. Aeli's intonation seemed to break whatever he was trying to strengthen. Aeli went into the room to put the fruits and then came back out. He frowned seeing Sky still standing there.
“Udah, right? Why not go straight home? If you want to look my dad in, sorry, I'm not allowed in. Papa needs rest.”
Although Aeli spoke long, Sky still could not feel the feeling of being happy for the little item.
“You're angry with me, Li?” Finally the question escaped Sky's tiny lips.
“Anged? For what?”
“I feel you are rich do not look at me.”
Aeli smiled blandly. Trying to force his heart to stay strong. “Indeed all this time I look very good seneng ya pas lo?”
“Means?”
“Nothing. Origin by the way aja.” Aeli will pass Sky. But before leaving a sentence that managed to hit the man.
“Mending you go home. Honestly I don't need your presence here.” He smiled sweetly and instantly brazed the steps leaving Sky.
But unfortunately he was forced to stop because Sky blocked his hand suddenly. Just torture the heart of this Sky tablets.
“Can you clear my mistake what to make you angry rich gini? I won't know if you keep avoiding.”
Aeli closed his eyes for a moment, took a breath and turned around. Her brown iris watched the guy's face intensely.
“Lo has nothing wrong, Sky. Yes, take my hand.”
Sky shakes. “I won't let you go before you answer my question.”
“I replied. What do you need answers for?”
“You cannot lie, Li.” Aeli was stunned for a moment. “If I am wrong I apologize. But can you tell me what has made you this angry?”
“Batu really lo. I really want to salahin?”
“I mending wronged from avoided rich gini.”
Aeli started to feel the heat in his eye area. He himself did not understand why he had to face Sky directly. For whatever sake, it felt like Aeli wanted to shed the cries and burdens he felt right now. Cuddled Sky.
“Li ...,” call Sky soft. Approaching Aeli until they are completely confronted.
Sky continued to look into those watery eyes, trying to find the answer to his question.
Just because of one last pull that Sky did, now Aeli's body was already in the warm embrace of the guy. Aeli was shocked half-living with round eyes. Everything happened as fast as lightning, making it difficult to digest the situation as well as the feelings within him.
Sky clenched Aeli tightly, as if not wanting to let the girl stay away from him again. His hand stroked gently behind Aeli's head and his chin was piled on top of the empress's head.
Aeli himself did not know what to react to. His entire body suddenly stiffened to move. Sensing Sky's gentle strokes, Aeli's tears finally came out of hiding.
Instead of getting angry or pushing Sky away, he hid his face in Sky's chest. His trembling hands slowly rose to hug the man. Honest from the deepest heart Aeli desperately longs for this comfort.
“Don't go far from me, Li.”
Sky's delicate audible voice actually managed to tear down the entire defense that Aeli had woken up desperately. His cry was already unstoppable, making Sky tighten their embrace even more without hesitation. Even peeked long at the head of his favorite girl.
...•••...
Aeli is now in the hospital toilet. Stand in front of the sink and stare at her reflection in the mirror. His hand moved to touch his chest and it turned out that his pounding was still really crazy.
Aeli exhaled through his mouth several times. The hugs of Sky and the kiss of the guy at the top of his head are still really felt. Now Aeli's hand moved to touch her head, winking twice with a dazed expression.
“My crazy is up? That was actually Sky not?”
Even to feel gravity is difficult. Himself who had been made to hover felt reluctant to return to its original position. Now the order of his heart was randomadut unclear because of Sky. Don't ask her where she's angry because she doesn't even know.
“Or was that not a demon? Ih creepy.” Aeli shuddered. He shivered to himself because of his ridiculous guess.
“Stupid is impossible. Any demon can wear perfume. Where is Sky's perfume again. What about it?” Aeli confusion.
“Gue afraid to come out anjir. How do I take him, huh? Still have no face huh me?”
Aeli shook her head hard. Removing his shame and his minions. After all, when will Aeli continue to confine himself here? It could be even Sky himself who dragged him out.
“OK, Li. Just calm and down.”
After feeling better, Aeli ventured out of the toilet. Intending to approach Sky who was still waiting for him in Mahesa's ward. Actually Aeli entrusted the papa to Sky, while he permission to run away.
Just as Aeli shifted the door of the room, he was immediately presented with a successful sight that made him surprised. Mahesa was already conscious and the man was talking to Claudia and Ashila who had somehow reached here. Sky was also still there, staring at them with a view that Sky could not understand.
“Papa,” call Aeli as you approach.
The girl could not hide her smile seeing that Mahesa had already opened her eyes. “Pa, Eli kangen.”
Aeli hugged Mahesa, channeling the longing she had been enduring all along. Aeli was really happy to see Mahesa make it through her difficult times.
“Eli seneng really see Papa already siuman.” The girl loosened their embrace later. “What is Papa's situation? It's really all right, Pa?”
Mahesa still did not answer, but her tears did not show that she was happy to see the presence of her eldest daughter. And Sky realized that.
“Ngapain you here?” Mahesa asked without heeding Aeli's question.
“Ngapain?” The girl was confused. “Eli take care of Papa.”
“When have you ever taken care of Papa?”
“What?” Aeli looked at Mahesa in disbelief.
“Didn't you ever care about Papa? Even if Papa is sick, you will never spare a moment to look at Papa.”
“Pa, I'm from yesterday-yesterday here keep looking after Papa. Papa can talk rich like that.”
Aeli's chest tightened, her tears falling unstoppably. Even the eyewitnesses who saw him here from the beginning chose to keep their mouths shut without any intention of explaining.
“When have you ever taken care of Papa, Li? All this time always take care of Papa is your mother and sister. Have you ever done that for Papa?”
Mahesa's words again incised a huge wound in Aeli's heart.
“Om, it is Aeli who takes care of Om from yesterday-yesterday. He even defended not going to school so that he could monitor the state of Om.” Sky. He could not bear to see Aeli being cornered so.
“Who are you? You know what?”
“I know everything. How bad behavior Om to Aeli so far also I know.”
Mahesa looked at Sky sharply. “You were just a kid yesterday afternoon who didn't know anything about my family. So you better shut up.”
“People who hate it are hard, yes. Want to be rich in anything that is useless.” Aeli wiped her tears violently. Highlighting Mahesa disappointed.
“And you know? I really-gener nyeselah has wasted my time to mengurusin rich man lo.”
Aeli walked out of the room feeling crushed. Sky followed after throwing a glare at Mahesa and the two humans who had been standing there without speaking.
Whereas compared to Sky, they are the ones who know best how Aeli's efforts to stay on the side of Mahesa. But somehow there was not a single word they spoke to help Aeli straighten out Mahesa's distrust.
...•••...
Aeli walked away from the hospital building with wide strides. Tears did not stop flowing into his smooth cheeks, as if to be the most tangible proof of what he was now. As hard as Aeli tried to wipe her, the tears would still shed without being asked. For the first time, the world managed to see Aeli's destruction.
The girl immediately approached her car in the parking lot. But just as he was about to open the door, Sky came blocking his intentions. The man blocked Aeli's wrist, but it didn't make him stare. His face was too pitiful to look at.
“I anter you home,” break up Sky, absolute.
“Gue can be alone.” Aeli replied with a trembling voice.
“I anter you go home, Aeli. I can't tell you to drive yourself in a rich state gini.”
Aeli again closed his eyes, allowing the clear liquid to decay until it touched the surface of the asphalt. True said Sky, even himself was not sure if he could still drive properly at a time like this.
Then, Aeli nodded in surprise. Sky smiled faintly, holding Aeli towards the passenger seat on the left and opening the door for the girl. After Aeli entered, then he followed.
The bright red car eventually left the hospital area, also leaving a wide wound in the heart of the owner. Destroyed, whether it had been the time to how much Aeli managed to be destroyed by his own expectations.
No one spoke during the trip. Sky and Aeli are both compact silencing the mouth. Sky deliberately gave Aeli some time to calm her messed up feelings. Aeli was staring blankly out the window with tears flowing.
Until the minutes passed and when Aeli's house was very close, he said slowly.
“Take me to a faraway place, Sky. As far as possible, please.”
Sky was certainly surprised to hear the girl's sudden request. “You're serious?”
Aeli nodded. “Take me where it's up to. Originating in a faraway place. I don't want to be here, Sky.”
The problem is Sky is confused about where to take Aeli. There is one place that might be able to treat Aeli's sadness. But it is far from playing and takes up to three hours to travel.
Sky, don't be crazy. The boy was taken away.
“Faraway?” ask Sky to make sure.
Aeli nodded quickly. He was ready to escape.
“Oke.”
Sky instantly increased the speed of the car, passing Aeli's house just like that. He will take care of everything later, the most important thing for now is Aeli's inner healing.
