“Sky, thanks for being ushered home,” said Aeli after getting off the bike and handed the helmet to Sky.
For the sake of all kinds of monkeys and ape, Aeli had never once imagined himself to be driven home by Sky. Aeli has not put the shadow in his direction list because it is not at all thought.
All he had in mind was how to make Sky belong to him and love him. Apparently, things he had not imagined were preceded by reality and great success made him happy.
Either Aeli should be upset or happy about today's incident. Wisdom and karma come to him simultaneously.
Sky put on a smile, received the helmet and then nodded. “Sama-sama. I'm glad you're safe until home.”
Aeli blushed, her cheeks blushing. “For that earlier .. thanks also.”
“Em, which one?”
“That, already want to bribe me.” Aeli's heart was always pounding considering how gently Sky treated her earlier.
Sky chuckled amusedly at the funny look of Aeli. “Sama-sama again.”
“Sky back home be careful, yes. Don't speed too much. If you don't mind ...” Aeli hung up the speech. Biting the inner lip as it feels hesitant to continue.
“If you don't mind why, Li?” Sky began to wonder.
“If you don't mind .. fitting until home directly tidakin me, yes?” Aeli asked carefully. Also looks doubtful.
“Oh, I guess what. Later I will definitely ngabarin you.”
Aeli looked up with sparkling eyes, winking several times like he had just hit a jackpot of tens of billions. Sky's response has always been successful in making Aeli's heart warm.
“Appointment?” Unknowingly the girl raised her pinky.
And without a doubt Sky was frowning them. “Appointments.”
The two looked into each other's eyes and dissolved in that gaze for quite a while. Aeli unceasingly praised the cuteness of Sky's face in heart. Because the form of Sky is indeed as funny as it is when viewed up close. After a while, the two finally managed to withdraw from their respective daydreams.
“Then I say goodbye, yes. You do not forget to take medicine.”
“Read More, Doctor!” exclaim Aeli spirit. Posing like people respect.
Sky chuckles. He thinks Aeli is really something. At a glance the girl could look extremely cruel and terrifying. But when he was with her, it was all gone. It was as if such a figure of Aeli had never existed.
Sky finally left the area of Aeli's house with his matic vespa. Aeli was still staring at the Sky figure until it was completely lost in the distance. Even after the guy had gone unseen, Aeli still kept paying attention. Slowly the intense pounding he had felt since earlier began to subside, although it had not been completely normal.
Aeli decided to turn around and walked slowly into the gate of his house. Just as Aeli set foot inside the house, he was immediately startled by the impromptu drama that was happening. His head that was still slightly heavy was forced to accept a hard blow due to the clash of Mahesa who seemed ready to skin him alive.
Instead of putting on a scared face, Aeli instead showed a nonchalant look while rotting a sickened eyeball. Even when Mahesa had stopped in front of her with a red face overpowered by anger, Aeli's expression remained the same.
“What else is it, Pa? Shouting mulu rich tarzan,” cetus Aeli sounds tired. More precisely, weak.
“After what you did you still have what, Aeli? Where's your brain?” Mahesa snapping. The veins on his neck popping up signified he was really angry.
“What have I done?” chirps Aeli, her forehead creates wrinkles. Aeli deliberately provoked the question so that Mahesa was burning.
“You're lukain your sister again! Now he needs to be hospitalized because of you! Still unclear?”
“Oh it ...” Aeli. Then confused. “Keep I have to what, Pa? Bring a corpse coffin for him?”
“Aeli!”
Mahesa's face brings a smile on Aeli's face. But who knows if his heart is currently broken into pieces, even his eyes began to glaze over because Mahesa was only paying attention to Claudia. Without seeing her situation a little bit.
“I'm khilaf, Pa. I'm not completely wrong anyway. Clau first provoked my emotions.”
“Where can He provoke your emotions while you first approach his class and make a fuss?” Mahesa did not think.
“Wah, Papa knows! Amazing.” Aeli clapped her own hands. Pretending to be amazed by the contrived expression.
“Cute, Papa. You must be punished!”
Without waiting for Aeli's approval, Mahesa immediately dragged the girl towards a room. Aeli tripped several times because of the difficulty of offsetting Mahesa's wide stride. Plus the feeling of dizziness in his head that never subsided. Though his face clearly looks very pale but Mahesa like closing his eyes and choosing not to see the reality.
“Akh!” Aeli screeched as Mahesa forced her into the dark warehouse. Aeli fell because he was not ready to receive a strong push from his father.
The eye that was trying to look strong now began to show its true form. The glint of tears was clearly printed there.
“Papa nyakitin Eli.” After a long time, finally Aeli's small call came back. But now, Aeli himself called it in front of Mahesa.
“You must be punished to know yourself! Reflect on all your behavior and mistakes here! Papa will never open the door before you realize!”
Aeli's voice turned frantic. His body trembled a sign of fear. As soon as possible Aeli touched Mahesa's sturdy hand, looking out at the cold eyes. Trying to find the slightest warmth but never Aeli found. Only hatred is clearly lodged in there.
“Don't lock Eli up here, Pa. Eli please. Eli is afraid of the dark. How about suddenly—”
“Papa don't care.”
Three successful words crushed Aeli's heart in an instant. His grip on Mahesa's hand loosened slowly. Mahesa even forgot Aeli's trauma to the darkness. Is that how he hates Aeli?
“Pa.” Aeli whimpered, this time her tears instantly shed without excuse. “Eli also hurt, but why is it only Clau that Papa noticed? Did Papa really miss Eli because of that damn woman, Pa?”
“Dragon your mouth, Aeli! Claudia is your sister!”
“The sister I never expected!” Aeli's dark side is back. His silent gaze turned into a hateful gaze.
Although it was difficult, Aeli forced himself to stand up. Staring straight at those sharp eyes that were exactly like hers.
“Papa want to know something?”
There was no response from Mahesa. It was obvious that the man was holding on to an ever-increasing anger.
“Clau and his mother are the most evil humans I have ever met. They took Papa from me.”
“No one has ever taken Papa from anyone!” Mahesa.
“Oh, definitely because Papa himself gave himself up, huh? Means Papa is as low as they dong?”
“Close your mouth, Aeli!”
“Mama is sick because Papa was caught cheating until he had a child with papa's affair. Then Papa chose the two humans without hesitation. Papa lupain me, lupain mama who finally chose to go because of Papa's depraved behavior. And stupidly, Papa didn't feel guilty at all. Even now with pleasure and without shame, Papa showed off Papa's small family affection in front of me.” Aeli laughed blandly. Her tears fell a few times.
“Murahan.”
Plaque!
Mahesh failed to control himself hearing the last word spoken from Aeli's mouth. His emotions ignited out and made it difficult to use common sense. Until finally, the vexed slap landed heavily on Aeli's cheek until his body fell onto the dusty shed floor.
“I've been patient enough to face you all this time! My patience did not make you aware! You continue to corner my wife and child!”
My wife and child ....
“If I could, I would turn back the clock and not let you be present in this world! You are the biggest disaster of my life after your mother!”
“It looks like you have also forgotten something, your mother left because of you! Not me! Don't ever twist the facts, damn kid!”
Complete is Aeli's pain for today. The tears could no longer describe what she was now. Hearing the sentence slide out without coercion from her father's mouth, Aeli was increasingly convinced that his presence was not expected.
“I won't set you free until you've completely changed. As long as I am kind enough to give you time, think about your mistake it's fine.”
Mahesa left Aeli in the room after closing the door and locking it from the outside. Silent greet. There was already no sound after the man had completely left.
Slowly Aeli looked up, staring at the tightly closed door. Now, the only lighting only comes from the iron window that shows the outside look. But when night falls, you can be sure everything will be completely dark without a beam of light.
Somehow Aeli was able to breathe properly afterwards. Even now his chest began to tighten and his body slowly let out cold sweat. numbness in his cheek due to the slap of Mahesa was no longer feeling.
Afterwards, Aeli docked to the door leaf. Bend your knees and drown your face between the folds of your hands above your knees. Aeli sobbed, revealing himself who had been hiding far behind the mask.
He is weak and fragile, he is whiny only because of a clash, he is afraid of the dark, and he is easily destroyed without touch.
The real Faye Aeliya, just a little girl who often cries silently when she feels she is unwanted. Not an antagonist who always looks terrible in front of many people.
•••
Silent, the square room filled by several men seemed so silent. Their gazes were fixed on one person who was sitting on the sofa with a tangled face. Swearing and words full of makian already settles in the brain of each head. But until now they still choose to silence.
There are too many things to talk about, unfortunately even one word feels very difficult to throw. Feeling fed up with the awkwardness that occurred, Dylan spoke up first.
“Gue confused about what you want, Dip. What's clear is that you are very bego!”
Dylan's voice that was heard pressing filled the music studio. His anger had already peaked and he could only vent now.
“Gue does not understand the same way of mind lo. You can have a very light hand almost slap people's faces. I'm sure if your opponent is a guy, this is a girl, motherfucker!”
In their friendship has been explained since the beginning, it is strictly forbidden to hurt women using physical. They have rules to respect every woman. No matter what women they meet, they are basically weak creatures that still need protection.
If anyone dares to break the rule, then the person must be given a flush of the heart until the hatchet. Without exception even though the one who did it was the most influential person among them.
“Lo know, Dip? Your behavior just now almost ngerugiin yourself. You almost broke the promise that you made if Sky did not come to make a barrier.” Fabian spoke up.
“Whatever anger you have with Aeli, violence cannot be the solution. I know he is a kampret because it has made your girl enter the hospital, but you should not reply to her actions in the same way.”
They are compact in terms of preaching. Compact makes the ears of the hot-trained person even burn.
“She's not my girl.” Finally, Dipta replied. His voice sounded weak.
“As far as you want to call him what. What is clear is that your actions to Aeli were intolerable, Dip. Sorry to say, but you really did we.”
Fabian's words made Dipta even more cornered. But he did not intend to argue because he knew that what he almost did earlier was indeed a mistake.
“With you destroyed his lunch was wrong. Especially until he almost slapped her. As long as you know, after your departure, Aeli fainted. Sky said his ulcer disease relapsed because he had not been eating since yesterday,” said Tirta.
The created heart feels squeezed by something invisible. For a second he was surprised, but did not want to be too revealing because of his prestige that had reached the seventh heaven.
“Indeed earlier you did not see his face was already very shoots but trying to keep ladenin anger lo?”
The created Gel answers Rey's question.
“Blind! We who from far away can see if Aeli again desperately sick, lo who in front of him do not even know. Damn you, dude!”
Dylan, if he's upset, likes gas. It was hard for him to control his emotions like his other friends.
“Gue wrong.” Dipta. He even felt that there was regret in the depths of his heart. Long before his friends hit.
“Indeed!” Dylan replied again. “Whatever the way, after this you have to apologize to Aeli. Throw your prestige away. Don't just be a coward who dares to do without daring responsibility.”
Dipta was a little overwhelmed by the words of her best friend. But he also refused to argue. He will be silent if he feels wrong and will fight if he is right.
“Kanya Sky briefly again nyampe, lest he see her debate rich gini. And lo, improve your relationship with him if you want everything to be okay,” firmly Fabian warned Dipta.
“But seriously, only this time I saw Sky masang rich face that. Even earlier, he seemed very worried about Aeli fainting.” Tirta said again. They all agreed with his words, except for Dipta who refused to interfere first.
“Last-lately I have also suspected that Sky same Aeli emang again deket. Yesterday Sky accidentally left his HP in the dining room, suddenly there was a bubble chat from Aeli.” Rey's explanation made their eyes widen.
“Ebuset! Seriously lo? Very cute Adek deket same Nyai Ratu. Where is chatan. Adek lo use pellets what the hell anjir?” Dylan.
“That's a kid, beaches rarely play games. It turns out that now the game is the same Aeli.” Fabian.
“Let's knock me.” Tirta pouting. Get a free toyoran from Rey.
“Let's fall. Girl you already have a cardus.”
“Dong difference, Bro. Want my girl as a cardus, a sack, a truck will lose the same spec rich Aeli. He's a complete package, minus just jutek.”
“And the sweetness is just the same Sky.”
“Aduh, so envy.”
In the end, the guys were upset together following Dipta.
•••
It has been almost five hours Aeli locked in this dark room, but until now no one has intended to take it out. Aeli believes that Mahesa must have warned all workers at home not to open the door for her. Until Mahesa herself comes to open.
Aeli's eyes have been so swollen from crying non-stop since. He can still breathe well to this day thanks to the lighting from his cell phone. Letting the light illuminate this dark space full of disgusting dust. Staring blankly at whatever is seen in the view of his eyes while putting his chin in the folds of his hands that are still above the knee.
Maybe soon, Aeli will really be in his pitch. Given the power of the phone is only 5% left at the moment. Rebelling for expulsion is no longer useful, it will only be a waste of time and energy.
“Eli kangen mama ..” Aeli's shrill voice dominated this silent space. Sounds so sad and sad.
Once again, Aeli's tears were dripping without her wanting. His memories twisted his memories in childhood. Where at that time he can still laugh freely without burden with both parents who love him very much.
Little Aeli's life is much more colorful. Plus the presence of mama who always gave him strength and spirit. Little Aeli was exactly like the princess of the palace in the fairy tale world. He always got whatever he wanted and his life was filled with love from everyone.
Until the age of Aeli was eight, he accepted the harsh reality that he never imagined would be the root of his suffering now.
At that time, Mahesa returned home with a woman and a faithful plain little girl clasping her mother's hand tightly. The first time I saw them Aeli was very happy. He thought the woman was a friend of his father. Aeli is also happy when she hears that they will live together, which means Aeli will have a playmate.
But seeing her mother suddenly cry, little Aeli was confused. Her little hand touched my mother's hand with a plain face. Until a row of sentences that came out of Mahesa's mouth a great success destroyed the beautiful expectations that Aeli had before.
“Shila my wife and my daughter Claudia, then what right do you forbid them to stay in my house?”
It took a while for little Aeli to understand the sentence with that annoyed tone. Until he found the answer that the two people Mahesa brought were his mother and step-sister as well as the destroyer of his parents' household.
From then on, Aeli could no longer look at everything from the same point of view. Every time she saw the faces of Ashila and Claudia, Aeli felt great hatred. Whereas before, Aeli did not even know what the definition of the word hate.
The more days Mahesa got further away from her, the mother began to get sick and reluctant to see her. Little Aeli felt cornered. There was nothing he could really talk to in this house.
Mahesa's entire attention was only spilled onto Claudia, without the slightest thought of her feelings. For the first time, Aeli felt extreme heartache to make his chest feel tight.
Mahesa even held Claudia's seventh birthday very lively when mom was very sick. The three of them looked very happy. As if forgetting the existence of Aeli or indeed deliberately do not want to consider it there at all.
Little Aeli stared at the nanar happiness of the harmonious family. He really felt like an unneeded stranger. Aeli squeezed the squeeze on her white dress, ran towards the mama's room and hoped to get a warm hug.
But what Aeli can again is not in line with expectations. Mama threw him away, threw a hateful look at him. In the same second, Mama instantly fell into a frenzy and destroyed all the items around her. Mama screamed so loud that she made Aeli close her ears.
Aeli retreated slowly, his body trembling in fear. Right in front of her eyes, Aeli saw her mama deliberately scratching a broken piece of glass onto her wrist. Aeli was sitting limp as soon as he saw mama fall lying down with blood that kept pouring.
At that time Aeli felt his world was over. She could only slump behind the door, crying alone in a black dress on her body. Mama's departure turned out to be the biggest disaster for Aeli.
Aeli never hated mama at all no matter how she behaved to him. Because Aeli knew mom never really hated him like Mahesa. Aeli always assured himself that what you do must have its own reasons.
Unfortunately, Mahesa instead blamed Aeli and continued to corner him due to the departure of his mother until he felt smaller. Every day he keeps getting snapped and is forced to face his father's anger.
Being too angry, Mahesa once locked Aeli in a dark, narrow and stuffy room for hours. That's where Aeli's trauma came from. Every time he was in a dark room Aeli must have felt tightness and his breathing like faltering.
Psychic Aeli gradually began to shake, slowly he withdrew from the social environment. Stay away from all her friends at school and don't let them talk to her. Aeli limits interaction with anyone, in any form.
Her circumstances made Aeli not dare to open up. Her jolly nature was gone, no more the sweet smile she had always carved, her gaze full of admiration and friendly nature on everyone, was gone beyond silence.
Now there is only Aeli who likes to do anything he wants, rebellious, rude, yelling, and happy to see others miserable because of it. But basically all of that is just a mask that Aeli put to protect himself.
His original self was still there, being very far out of reach. Sometimes it only appears at certain times. With certain people.
