After Aeli's departure, the atmosphere of the room became quiet. The discomfort hit because of the last sentence that the girl threw. They were all surprised, not expecting Aeli to pass the sentence.
Ashila who saw her husband daydreaming with a pias face was approaching, rubbing the middle-aged man's shoulders full of tenderness.
“Mas, are you all right?”
Mahesa regained her senses, highlighting Ashila for a moment without answering.
“Omongan Aeli earlier do not think too much, yes. You should think about your condition first.”
Claudia is approaching. “Iya, Pa. Maybe Aeli's sister just sprained. Later definitely Aeli's brother here again to jenguk Papa.”
“What Claudia said, Mas. Aeli is a good boy, he may not be angry too long. Moreover, the condition of Mas rich gini now.”
The two women compactly calmed Mahesa. “He never never got angry with me.” Mahesa.
“Ngak, Mom. Aeli was never angry with me. In fact, Aeli is very dear to Mas.”
“Bener, Pa. Kak Aeli can not defend here for Papa's fingers if Aeli's sister does not care.”
Mahesa looked at Claudia seriously. “But is it true, Aeli who always takes care of Papa during this?”
Claudia and Ashila looked at each other. After which Claudia exhaled a long breath, shaking slowly.
“Me and Mama take care of Papa. Aeli's sister only comes here once in a while, it's just over it's coming home again, Pa.”
Mahesa's rapture changed, her jaw seemed to harden. He was disappointed that Aeli had lied. Mahesa thought what Aeli said was true. Turns out he was wrong.
“Udah Pa don't keep thinking. Papa rest yes, Clau will be here continue to take care of Papa.”
“You go home. Papa is okay,” Mahesa refused.
“Tapi—”
“You must be tired. Papa is fine too, there is nothing to worry about.”
Ashila breathed a heavy breath. “Yaudah, if that's how I go Clau home first yes, Mas. If there is anything directly call the doctor or nurse,” message Ashila.
Mahesa nodded. Afterwards the two women left Mahesa's ward, letting the man rest. Arriving at the front of the room, Claudia put on a veiled face.
“Kak Aeli ngeselin really, Ma. Why talk to papa? Make a job. Brother Sky also why the hell so follow?”
Ashila smiled warmly, rubbing Claudia's back. “Udah. The important thing is that you don't believe in them.”
“Ish! But the nyebelin, Ma. I don't like Aeli's sister. Mama know right?”
“Iya Darling, yes. Dad dong. His face is not bent. If anyone sees what?”
“Biarin. Am I thinking?”
“Eh, it was Created right?” ask Ashila.
“Mama gausah bring the name of brother Dipta let me menggeneg deh. I'm again kesel.”
Ashila patted Claudia's shoulder slowly. “Mama seriously! It's clay!”
Claudia. His eyes were round looking at the figure of a person whose mother meant to be walking closer. Hurriedly the girl put on a plain and innocent face that she always looked, smiling faintly when Dipta arrived in front of her.
“Kak Dipta's? How to get here, Brother?” ask Claudia kindly. His eyes could not hide the twinkle of admiration when he looked at Dipta.
“You look at Mahesa. You said he realized that's why I came straight here. Can I come in?” his permission.
“Bby Brother, can. Login aja.”
Dipta nodded, she smiled faintly at Ashila while bowing politely before actually entering the room. After Dipta disappeared behind the door, Claudia touched her hot face. His heart was beating fast too.
“Ma, why is brother Dipta now so much attention yes with our family? I didn't expect Dipta belain's brother to come here for papa.”
“Like you times she.”
“Wh time anyway, Ma?”
“The evidence. Okay, Claudia. Keep attitude. Don't let anyone see you're rich other than Mama. Your inget should still be a plain child as they know it.” Ashila spoke long, reminding her that her son did not forget himself.
“Iya, Mother. Flip back and forth kali. Capek tau play the role of mulu.”
“Gok can. Danger if your secret is exposed. Our lives could be ruined.”
“Ck, yes-yes! Mama is so cute!” upset Claudia.

It's been almost three hours Aeli's car was on the road. The journey taken was quite far and soon will reach the destination location. Sky calmly drove the car while the owner had closed his eyes since ninety-five minutes ago.
Several times Sky turned towards Aeli who was fast asleep. His smile again rose, his heart also became calmer every time he looked at the peaceful face of the girl. Aeli's fine snoring signifies he is comfortable, his breath blows irregularly.
Aeli's car finally entered the long road near the big cliffs, directly opposite the beautiful high sea. This is where Sky brought Aeli, as Aeli requested for Sky to take him to a distant place.
If Aeli could not heal the wounds in his heart in such a short time, he could at least forget about those wounds for a moment. That way it might make him feel better for a moment.
Trinity Beach was targeted by Sky. The guy had also had time to tell his family that he went there after Aeli managed to fall asleep. Aiyana was surprised why the child suddenly decided to go there this afternoon. But Sky immediately explained the reason so as not to make Aiyana more confused by keeping Aeli's fragility closed.
Here is the woman's response afterwards.
“Aeli? The girl you call your sister, Bang? Who said your boyfriend candidate?”
Sky had hissed long hearing the sentence spoken by his mother. The area of his ears instantly heated up in the same second.
“Iya, that Aeli, Bun.”
“Wah, so this is the story you want to take him there? Shall you shoot, honey?” The sound of the moon became more cramped. The woman is indeed the most good at making her son wrong.
Kan, Sky even so confused to answer what.
“Ntar if you have already announced mother yes, Bang. Oh yes, immediately bring it to the house also dong. Mother wants the same acquaintance of the heart of the child Mother.”
“Bun ...,” said Sky slowly. Glancing at Aeli was afraid of him suddenly waking up.
“Eh? You salting, huh? Haha Bunda's son is very nervous anyway. If you are here already Mother pinched it her cheek.”
“Bun, already dong do not tempt Sky continue.” Now Sky's cheeks are also flushed.
Aiyana laughs. “Iya-iya is not tempted. Be careful to bring her Aeli, prospective mother ghost cannot be scuffed anyway.” Kan, canaan is.
“Mother permission Sky to there, later Mother to arrive also to father. But go home if you can before or after sunset, let the house not too late. Take your time, honey. Have fun!”
Sky was really relieved after getting permission from Aiyana. She was lucky to have a mother who was understanding and believed in her in everything. Therefore Sky must be able to maintain the full trust that his parents have given.
They finally reached their destination. Sky then turned off the car engine, looking towards Aeli who was still asleep. It seemed like the girl was completely exhausted to the point of still remaining faithful to close her eyes.
Sky slightly leaned his body to the left side so that he could more freely look at Aeli. The corner of Sky's lips lifted slightly, his hand moving slowly pushed aside Aeli's hair which slightly covered the girl's pretty face. Afterwards, Sky looked back at Aeli.
Actually until now Sky is still confused what mistakes he has done to make Aeli look very disappointed. Honestly, Sky felt his chest completely claustrophobic when he saw Aeli's attitude earlier. Moreover, he did not know at all the cause of Aeli to behave like that.
Maybe Sky will ask that, later, after Aeli feels much better. Sky promised not to ruin the beautiful moments that might be created later.
“Li, wake. We have arrived,” said Sky slowly. But it produces nothing.
His hand moved gently rubbing the girl's smooth cheeks. “Build, Li.”
Aeli who felt her sleep was disturbed wriggled small. Her forehead shriveled deeply and slowly the beautiful eyes blinked a few times before completely opening.
Still with a deep frown, Aeli looked at Sky. His uncollected soul a hundred percent made Sky chuckle. He just knew that Aeli's form when he woke up turned out to be this adorable. Lost is the baddas soul that has long been embedded in the girl.
Sky stroked Aeli's head while tidying up her slightly messy hair. “Udah, new aja.”
“Gue sleeps late, huh? Sorry, Sky. You must have been very bored earlier,” said Aeli guilty.
Sky smiled warmly. “Ngak papa.”
Aeli only realized the area where he was after a while. He nodded again, this time in surprise. The girl brought her face closer to the front window of the car to make sure her eyes were not wrong.
“This beach?! Seriously?! You take me to the beach, Sky?!” He looked at Sky.
“Iya. You like?”
“Crazy! Love it so much!” reply Aeli. His life is gathered immediately.
Aeli immediately opened the car door and exited. The beach breeze greeted him to make his long hair that was scattered fanned. His eyes stared at the astonished beautiful scenery presented.
“Anjir ... I'm not expecting to be brought here. Kirain Sky wants to take me to KUA njir. Crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy! Very cool!”
Sky followed out later, approaching Aeli who was still busy talking to himself. He laughed angrily at the girl's full-blown face. It seems that Sky's choice of bringing Aeli here was not a wrong choice.
“Sky! Let's go over there! Chubby, Sky!” take Aeli impatiently. Wiggling Sky's arm.
Soon the guy clasped his hand then. “Ayo.”
They walked to the beach. Aeli's eyes unceasingly showed a twinkle which proved that he was amazed not playing. The beach is one of Aeli's favorite places. Since childhood he was often invited to the beach by Mahesa and her mother. Because there are too many sweet memories, so the beach has always been Aeli's favorite place.
“Wah ... The sea is so beautiful, huh?” muttered Aeli staring into the middle of the ocean.
Sky turned. The guy was stunned to see a sincere smile embedded in Aeli's face. The small dimple under the corner of her lips made her look sweet.
“Iya. Beautiful,” reply Sky who did not take his gaze away from the figure of Aeli.
“Sky why can you think of bringing me here?”
Sky thought for a moment. “Why yes? If you say ask to be taken to a distant place, I immediately think of this place. I think maybe you will also like that's why I brought it here aja.”
“Gue loves to know, Sky. The beach is my favorite place from small. Mama used to be just as papa often ngajak me to the beach every time. We often spend a full day waiting for sunset. You see mom papa knows I really like the same sunset.” Aeli's story finally flows unplanned.
Recalling the fond memories that had occurred in her life, Aeli's eyes glazed over. He longed for those times and was eager to repeat it all back. Honey, it feels too impossible. His life was already too messy, even the ones he tried to defend desperately still chose to leave.
“Gue seneng's. As if I knew I had been happy with them.” A drop of tear that Aeli tried to resist shedding as well. The sadness came again.
Sky looked at Aeli Lamat, wiping away the tears that were slobberly wetting the cheeks of his beloved girl. Again Aeli was made stunned due to Sky's gentle treatment. Now, he really doubted what he heard the other day.
“Don't miss something that makes you sad. I don't like to see you cry rich gini,” clean Sky. Aeli looked at the shady eyes that were staring at him. Feels soothing.
“Sky.”
“Hm?”
Aeli gulped. Being at this close distance to Sky made Aeli nervous. Supposedly, they just hugged.
“Gue want mastiin something can?” his permission sounded doubtful.
Sky nodded. Waiting for what Aeli will say next. Don't think Sky isn't nervous, he's just as nervous as Aeli. But Sky is smarter at controlling facial mimicry.
“P-feeling lo to me actually how?”
Sky quiet. While Aeli was desperately trying to expel the nervousness and shame that hit.
Aeli asked that because he wanted to ascertain whether what Sky said in the school cafeteria was true, or if there might be something he missed afterwards.
“I mean ...lo all this time good to me because what? Is it because you are good to everyone or because I am an exception?”
Aeli took a breath. “Soalya, g-gue feel your attitude to me is a bit excessive. It's up to you to say I'm a kek what a cake but that's what I've rasain all this time.”
Sky smiled. Please deh this Aeli again nervous half canvassed woi!
“Why smile?” asked Aeli the confusion immediately answered by Sky.
“Ngak papa's. Want to smile.”
“Ih, answer my question first. Don't hangin kek.” Aeli pouting.
“And you answered yourself earlier.”
“Hah?” The girl cengo. His face looks stupid at the moment.
“Try inget-inget again.”
Aeli really did what Sky told him to do. His brain worked hard to remember every sentence he just said.
“Gue ge'er?”
Sky reflexes laugh. “Not that one, Li.”
Aeli remembered. “Because it's good to everyone?”
“Not also.”
Aeli clucked in annoyance because the answer was all wrong. Btw, Aeli said anything?
“Em .. because I'm an exception?” guess he was really doubtful. His round eyes flickered waiting for an answer.
Sky suddenly sniffed Aeli's nose. Makes the owner more confused.
“That means what?” Aeli asked again.
“Bener.”
The girl gawked for a moment. But it quickly closed its mouth. Set up facial expressions as often as possible.
“But ... Why do I not? Is it because I'm fierce, cruel, inhuman, keep on liking bully people?”
For the sake of bald upin ipin, why did Aeli even mention his own ugliness, huh? The effect is even rich proud of it being a bad person. Not even though. Eh? Yes dikit.
“Hm, maybe times, yes?”
“Kok possible?!” It becomes an overexcitement.
Anxious Sky instantly ruffled Aeli's hair. The more here I feel that Aeli is adorable, huh? How else about Aeli if in front of Sky cosplay be a cat anyway.
Garong cat.
“Handering, Li. His face is not covered.”
“This is Sky face, not shirt.”
“And by face, I also did not say clothes.”
“Lo how to be more beautiful huh, Sky? I am the emotion of the Spirit. Answer now or gu—”
Aeli's sentence came to a halt as Sky suddenly hugged her and placed a chin on her shoulder. The guys were a bit downcast due to their height difference which was quite contrasting.
Aeli was silent, the great pounding of his heart buzzed to the ears. After a while there was no talk, Aeli said softly.
“K-if this one means what?”
There was a pause for a few seconds because Sky did not answer. The guy closed his eyes and let the beach breeze scramble his hair. Still in the same position, Sky muttered lowly.
“I love you.”
