There's nothing scarier for Clara than knowing Aeli didn't come to school without any permission. Repeatedly the blonde girl with the pearl bando tried to contact Aeli, but instead the voice of the operator answered.
Clara did not give up, she sent dozens of spam chats to her best friend, hoping for a reply. But for a second he waited, Aeli never even read the message he sent. It frustrates him himself.
“Aeli, please. Don't make me anxious.”
Recalling Aeli's story yesterday, about what the girl had done really made Clara unsettled. Moreover, got the news that Aeli had fainted in the school cafeteria after an argument with Dipta. His worry was sure to soar further into the sky.
The plan is during the second break Clara will permit the teacher to go to Aeli's house. He was sure his best friend was not in good condition—or maybe very far from the word good.
Knowing Aeli from the era of Junior High made Clara know exactly how the ins and outs of Aeli's life so far. It was not Aeli who wanted to tell a story, but Clara who convinced him to tell a story. Aeli is not the type of person who easily shares his life story with others. Especially the ones he doesn't trust.
But for Aeli, Clara was different from the people he met. Clara asked because she really cared, not just looking for chat materials to spread and laugh with others.
Clara knew the times where Mahesa punished Aeli, scolded him, did not even hesitate to lock him up. And now, the latter option continues to roar in Clara's head brain. Convince himself that the truth is so.
“Clara?”
Someone approached Clara who was sitting alone in the cafeteria chair. Just as Clara looked up, her eyes met the dark brown iris of the master. His eyes rounded to find the presence of the man, calling his name.
“Sky? Lo call me?” clara asked, both surprised and unexpected.
Sky nodded. The sound is not much different from the look of Clara a few seconds ago.
“I want nanya, Aeli did not enter today? Since I did not see him, my last message was not answered. Sorry if I sassy to suddenly ask like this.”
Mangap clara. Sky's question surprised him for the second time. Being confused, Clara scratched her forehead.
“Aeli is not coming in, Sky. But if that's the cause, I don't know either. He has no permission at all.”
“Aeli is often rich in gini?” ask Sky. As if absorbing Clara's energy, her feelings also worsened.
“Aeli if you do not enter because of illness or because there is business must always be permission. Except ...” Clara bit her lip, hesitating to continue.
He was afraid that Aeli would get angry if anyone else found out about the wound that Aeli was trying to close. But considering this is Sky, maybe Aeli will not be angry if Clara says a small part.
“Sky, I plan later on the second break to Aeli's house. If you don't mind, you can come. I was afraid to explain directly. But please don't tell anyone.”
Sky was stunned for a moment. Not spending too much time thinking, Sky immediately nodded. I don't know since when Sky started to feel it, which is clear now he was really worried about Aeli's situation.
Sky has never been like this before. But the person he had only known a few days ago had his mind screwed up all night. Sky knew something was wrong with his heart.
...•••...
Yesterday Aeli asked Sky to update him when he got home. After coming from the music studio and mending his relationship with Dipta so that there is no misunderstanding, Sky immediately kept his promise to Aeli.
At first Aeli had not replied, thought Sky maybe the beautiful girl had not had time to open the phone. But when the day had changed night, Aeli still did not return the message.
Sky suddenly felt worried. Actually it could have been Aeli did not activate the sosmed because he wanted to rest, but Sky's small heart was recalcitrant and said something bad happened with Aeli. Sky also does not know why he can be this confident, even though he himself does not know Aeli's daily routine.
When he got to school, the first thing Sky was looking for was Aeli. Usually the girl is seen in the parking lot with her favorite bright red car. But not with today. If usually Aeli's car parked in an area that no one dared to occupy, now the area is empty.
Sky is still trying to think positively, saying that maybe Aeli is late while trying to ignore the whispers that come from his soul instinct. Until the first break came, Sky did not find Aeli nangkring in the school cafeteria as usual. The new fact is bribed, that Aeli did not enter.
Seeing Clara sitting alone with a panicked look while continuing to appear to call made Sky curious. Without a plan the man walked over, answering his friends' questions with a makeshift answer for not wanting to make them all more excited.
Apparently after that, Clara's answer even made bad guesses milling about. This is where Sky is now. A large two-storied house with a towering gate. Repeatedly Clara pressed the bell but the security guard on duty did not open the door.
“This is Supardi to where the hell? Long time very,” grumbled Clara increasingly impatient pressing the doorbell of the house.
“Shortly!” From within sounds someone's voice. That's when Clara stopped and then breathed.
“Where the hell, sir? You really like numbers. There are guests instead of directly bukain gate instead left looking for fried food,” nagel Clara Long.
“Sorry Non, Sir does not allow anyone to meet Miss Aeliya for sa—”
“I no longer want to meet Aeli,” ketus Clara. Sky listened with a frown that shriveled deeply.
“Continue looking for who, Non?”
“Bi Laila, this is her nephew I want to see.” Clara pointed at Sky. The guy showed a surprised look but Clara immediately gave instructions through the eyes.
Sky who understood finally chose to follow the plot that Clara made. That's all he can do. “Iya, Sir. May you please let me meet my aunt for a moment?”
A slanted smile was etched on Clara's lips. It turned out that this guy very quickly understood the instructions he gave. Good though.
Mr. Supardi narrowed his eyes slightly at Sky, he was a bit suspicious because like he had seen this guy's face before.
“Aduh Sir, do not over think dong. Didn't you see we're almost sun-baked? Be still a asep man on me.”
Clara's not making it up. Sunlight is indeed hot and certainly feels burning their skin.
“In the meantime, I call Bi Laila.”
“Bukain first oruh, sir! Minimal love us shelter dong! Tega very nih people.”
Mr. Supardi sighed tiredly. Facing Clara's carelessness was indeed not something strange anymore for him. He's used to it.
The gate was finally opened, Mr. Supardi invited the two to enter and told them to wait in the security gazebo. Clara and Sky just according, after Mr. Supardi scram Clara directly looked at Sky.
“Soal this later I explained yes, now mending we rush to find Aeli. I feel really bad, Sky. Shucks Mahesa act again for sure, sure I.”
Sky just nodded. Not wanting to waste more time, the two immediately walked into the house. Clara led the way because only she had memorized the ins and outs of this house.
Fortunately, the house is quiet, the workers may be resting. Mahesa must be in the office and Ashila may still be accompanying Claudia in the hospital. Clara and Sky split up. He told Sky to check several rooms carefully as he passed to Aeli's room.
Actually Clara was not sure Aeli was in the room but she still wanted to make sure. It turns out that the spacious room with the dominance of young cream color that seemed to cool the eyes was empty leaping without occupants.
“Original, Aeli is no longer okay!”
Clara rushes out of the room, checking every room that Aeli might be in the brackets by Mahesa. On the other hand, Sky did the same. Because it is quite foreign to the place on foot now, Sky is very careful in stepping and checking the room one by one.
Until now both of them never found the existence of Aeli. Clara does know Aeli is often locked up by Mahesa, but she does not know where the exact position of the place is.
This house is very spacious, it takes a long time if you want to explore the entire contents. Sky found one last door at the very end. Only the door was the only one Sky had yet to check in this area.
Sky approached, touching the door handle trying to open it, locked. Sky knocked him repeatedly while attaching an ear to the door. Sharpen your hearing to catch what sounds are in there.
Faintly or whether Sky's feelings alone, he heard a very slow sobbing sound. Not very clear indeed. But Sky believes he did not hear wrong.
“Aeli, are you inside?” ask Sky. Simultaneously, the sobs he heard for a second and then immediately stopped. Sky is now convinced that there is someone in there. Not just his feelings.
“Aeli. This is Sky. You're inside? Please answer me, Li.”
For a second, Sky heard nothing. He was still waiting with his heart racing fast.
“Aeli, can you hear my voice?” Sky still did not give up.
“S-sky ...” The voice that Sky was waiting for finally sounded. Secretly the boy heaved a sigh of relief, but was claustrophobic at the same time because Aeli's voice sounded very weak and hoarse.
“Sky ... t-please get me out of here. I'm scared.” Aeli returned.
Sky did not want to waste more time. He must immediately bring Aeli out before the officers in this house realize his whereabouts. After instructing Aeli to stay away from the door, Sky began to take a swing to break the barrier.
Repeatedly he tried until the arm hurt, but the door did not open. Sky did not give up, the one on his mind now only wanted to quickly get Aeli out of there.
“Do not get hurt, I beg.”
Aeli's hoarse voice lingered in Sky's ears. He did not think it could be at a time like this Aeli was worried about him instead. Sky appreciates that. But for now Aeli's situation is much more important than anything.
After trying his hardest to break down the door for several times, Sky finally succeeded. The first thing he caught when the door of the room was open was the figure of Aeli who looked chaotic. It's even so fucked up.
Sky approached, highlighting the soft eyes that looked puffy. The pale face seemed to explain that his condition was really far from good. And, Sky finally saw the other side in this girl.
“S-sky ...” Aeli. Tears returned to his cheeks as soon as his eyes collided with Sky's shady eyes.
Without saying anything, Sky immediately led Aeli into a hug. Gently rub behind the girl's head to channel calmness. Aeli was surprised by Sky's treatment, evident from his stiffening body. But slowly softened and ventured to return Sky's embrace with increasingly heavy tears.
It feels warm and comfortable. Aeli had not felt this kind of comfort for a long time. The girl further submerged the face in the chest of the Sky field, inhaling deeply the fragrant body of the man. Aeli didn't want to think about why Sky could get here and help him, he just wanted to hug the guy's body for longer.
Aeli to the point of forgetting her hatred of being in contact with others. Because when Sky did, it was only a comfort that he felt.
“Why can you be here?” ask Sky. Faithfully rubbed the back of Aeli's head gently.
“Papa.”
Only that word could be said from Aeli's tiny lips. Not yet Sky understood the meaning of the answer, he was made to jerk when Aeli increasingly tightened their embrace. Even the girl closed her eyes enjoying the warm body of her royal man. The fear, sadness, and despair that a second ago he felt slowly faded away due to Sky's presence.
Aeli was confused to be hurt or grateful because of this incident. Again, luck and luck come together. Making him confused himself must show what kind of response.
“Borrow Sky's body jerk, yes. I promise it won't be long,” he said slowly. Even his voice still sounded very weak.
Feeling no rejection, Aeli carved out a thin smile. Enjoying his heartbeat and Sky's fast-paced heart. Aeli knew, Sky might be surprised by his behavior that was like not wanting to take off their embrace. Aeli doesn't care. As long as there is an opportunity, should not be used as well as possible, right?
...•••...
Mahesa may be very angry if she hears Aeli leaving the house. An hour ago, just after Sky found Aeli locked up in a warehouse, Clara came. Imagine how excited Clara was to see the condition of her best friend who looked very chaotic.
In the midst of Clara's struggle, Aeli asks to be taken away from the house. Clara and Sky were certainly surprised by the girl's request. But they also did not have the heart to see Aeli's condition. Then without waiting too long, Clara and Sky immediately took Aeli out of the damn house.
They were caught by Aeli's house security, and thanks to Clara's spicy mouth, the security guard managed to knock him out easily. Not daring to wiggle even a little.
“With Mr. ngehalangin we take Aeli away from here means the same way you kill Aeli slowly. You must know how tormented it is to be Aeli? But you have no intention of nolongin. Sorry to say, but my social soul is dead. It is up to you if after this you want to report the same om Mahesa or even you are fired because of this. I don't care. Because you also never care about your employer's child.”
Finally, here they are now. The spacious two-storied luxury building belongs to the Clara family. If after this Mahesa dares to set foot here and force Aeli home, Clara is ready to put on her body and stand at the front. Clara will not let anyone take Aeli away, even though Aeli's real father himself.
“Li, eat first huh? I know you haven't eaten from yesterday,” said Clara, sitting on the lip of the bed. Noticing Aeli who seemed to be staring blankly at the air in front of him.
Hearing Clara's words, Aeli turned. His roar looked lethargic, his eyes were as if he had no passion for life. “Gue no laper,” reply Aeli slowly.
“Even if you are not a laper, you have to eat, Li. I don't want to see you sick again rich yesterday.” Clara's tone full of worries a little vibrating Aeli's heart. The girl smiled thinly then.
“Why are you this same bike I am anyway, Clar? I am a nobody. My own family no one is—”
“Lo ngigoin what the hell, Li? I don't like ya lo banding-bandingin me the same family demon lo it.” Clara rolled her sickened eyeballs.
Aeli was not offended at all, he even chuckled because in reality Clara's speech was true. “Gue just feel lucky be careful lo.”
“Li, anyway you should never feel foreign or not feel good about me, huh? For me you're not a stranger anymore, but my brother. My funniest twin anyway.” Clara hugged Aeli's body tightly, making the owner spontaneously hold his breath.
“Lo want to kill me what the hell, Clar? Sesek tau,” protest Aeli. Clara chuckled, taking off her embrace later.
“Sorry, lo gemesin really because.”
Aeli. Confused which part of her Clara called adorable.
“Yes, I'm taking a meal, huh? Mama has already said I mulu from earlier, thought I do not want to give you a meal. Though it's his lo who don't want.” Clara pouted. His voice is funny.
Unable to refuse Clara's request, Aeli nodded his head. Without waiting any longer Clara directly went out of the room to pick up the food. After Clara's departure, the atmosphere of the room was instantly quiet.
Aeli who just remembered something immediately took her cellphone which was still charging on the nightstand next to the bed. The girl looks for someone's contact and then presses the call icon. It didn't take long for the call to finally connect.
“Halo, Non Aeli. What's up, Non?” tell someone across there.
“Mbak Nana, Mahesa has returned home yet?” ask Aeli.
“Not yet Non, it looks like the master is still in the office. How Non Aeli? It's fine, Non?” The woman called Mbak Nana sounded worried when asking Aeli's condition. It was impossible for him not to know if Aeli was taken away by Clara.
“I'm fine, Ma'am. Oh yeah, as long as I don't have to pay attention to the state of the Gita, yeah. Eat it not to be late, often invite him to play so as not to go crazy. Continue not to let the demonic woman in the house disturb Gita. I'd be furious if it happened,” Aeli's orders are absolute.
“Non Aeli is calm. Gita is safe with me. Here's the monkey again lying down while nyemil. Relax really rich on the beach.”
“All wake up, Ma'am. It's good to lie down while snacking, my mom said no good.”
“The rich rules are for people, Non.”
“What is Gita?”
“Monkey.”
Also true.
“Judah is up. Anyway my pesen singset just now. Don't forget to send her photos often Gita, yes. I'll have a long time at Clara.”'s house
“Siap, Non Ae.”
“Oh yes one more. If the old man bangka-ngamuk or want to nyusulin me to the house of Clara immediately tell me yes, Ma'am. Please this mah.” Aeli pleads.
“Definitely, Non. Non Aeli there okay yes, sorry Mbak can not help anything.”
“Seat. I'm not guilty, ma'am. Ma'am's job is to take care of Gita, not me.”
After a long talk with Mbak Nana, Aeli ended the call. He recalled something that had made him think of earlier. Then without babibu Aeli directly switched to the chat application, opened the message he pinned at the top and then typed something.
Aeliya
Sky, are you home yet? Sorry if I already repotin lo, thanks also because I want to repotin😅
Send!
Aeli touched her chest that was pounding fast. Suddenly the shadow of Sky when hugging him swirled on Aeli's head. The warmth of Sky's embrace and how gently she treated Aeli really made Aeli almost crazy. The fragrance of perfume that Sky wore was like he could still feel until now.
Until suddenly the sound of the notification broke Aeli's daydream. Hurriedly he opened the incoming message which turned out to be from Sky.
Got me
I'm home, Aeli.
Why the hell is that? I never felt repotted at all.
The corner of Aeli's lips was fully attracted. Sky's reply once again made him almost scream in excitement.
Aeliya
I'm just afraid of lo kapok or trauma after seeing my situation, Sky.
Got me
I'm not kapok, Li. Oh yeah, how are you? Has improved?
Aeliya
Udah dong, will be helped by the prince.
Got me
What do you call my prince?
“Start sensitive, yes ... Who else can I call a prince other than you? Clara?” Aeli huddled inexhaustibly with himself.
Aeliya
Thought you?😀
Got me
Turns out you're ticking me-you're kinda like that, huh?
“Pinter really ngalihin topic.” Aeli muttered as she chuckled. His fingers were still dancing cunningly on the surface of the phone.
Aeliya
Why emang? Weirdo?
Got me
Banget.
Almost Aeli squeezed his phone to crumble because he could not bear to see Sky's reply. I don't know, anything related about Sky always looks funny and adorable in Aeli's eyes. Not yet had he retorted, a line of sentences that Sky sent after was able to make Aeli hold his breath.
Got me
I'll look at you tonight, okay?
