Substitute Priest

Secret Place

Rio was preparing to go home ,, his health had also improved enough so the doctor gave permission to go home,, Rio refused to go home, he wanted to go straight to the parlour of course hoping to meet with Aulia there

Throughout Rio's journey excitedly,, he was already looking forward to meeting Aulia immediately,,, how much he was worried and missed Aulia

But Rio's hopes had to be stalled when Mr. Dedik refused to come to the parlor, he allowed Rio to come to the parlor after the results of the next 3 days of control....

Rio could not dwell, because there was a strict guard from the papa, cars and motorcycles were sealed by his papa,,,,, and,,,

Thank goodness after 3 days and the results of control are good, Rio was allowed to come to the orphanage,, really Aulia was the one who became his encouragement to be healthy

" Assalamualaikum Sir, Buk..." Rio said upon arrival at the parlour

" Waalaikumsalam," replied Mr. Sulaiman and Sarah's mother simultaneously

" How are you doing Rio?? " ask Miss Sarah

" Alhamdulillah buk,, it has been much better, so be given to go home with the doctor .. and this also just returned the control buk, the results are also very good ,, so I can only come here now" Rio Smile with eyes looking around hoping to find Aulia

" Alhamdulillah if that is so, please sit down first, let me take a drink mas..."

" Don't you thank me, Aulia where is buk?? "

" Aulia in Lila's room mas ,, Lila's condition is not healthy so Aulia is taking care of Lila for a few days...." Said Mr. Sulaiman

" Yes mas, even yesterday on the seventh day of the commemoration of the death of Via , Lila fainted again." added Sarah's mother.

In the middle of their conversation, suddenly Gio, the orphanage child who was closest to Aulia, shouted and ran towards Mr. Sulaiman and Ms. Sarah

They were surprised when Gio said that Aulia was not in his room or in Lila's room, even Gio had been looking everywhere,, to the park also musholla,,,but still he did not find Aulia anywhere

Mr. Sulaiman and Ms. Sarah were astonished by Aulia's attitude these few days, she looked glum , what because entirely of Via's departure or something else,,, Aulia never answered if her parents asked,,,

" I said I'll go out first buk, I think I know where Aulia is !!! " Rio immediately rushed towards the car

" Well mas , we'll find it in the home area here first." said Mr. Sulaiman.

They began to split up to look for Aulia's whereabouts,, now it was getting dark ,, but thankfully Rio had found Aulia who was asleep still wearing her face

Of course Rio knows where Aulia's secret place when sad, because it is their closeness that has been so long , even knowing each other

Rio looked at Aulia's face which looked very tired ,, puffy eyes and in sleep there was still a rest of sobs there,, wanting the sense of heart Rio hugged Aulia at this time ,,trying to calm his heart

" Mas Rio...!!!." Call Aulia when she wakes up from her sleep

" Emmm.. i-iya mas , "Aulia looked nervous, really she did not expect Rio to come to this place,,,

No wonder Rio found his secret place because it was this place they built it, it's just that Aulia thinks Rio just came home from the hospital and in this place the heat is so cold ,,, so it won't be good for Rio's health

A small Villa, which contains only a 1 bedroom living room, bathroom and mini kitchen, is actually not entirely those who build it certainly with the help of the builders,, it's just that for Aulia's decisive model and Rio's cost is the person in charge

Only Aulia, Rio and Wulan knew this place,, a distance quite far from the parlour, still 1 district but different sub-districts,,,

" Why are you??? is there a problem with your husband?? "

" Not really mas, I'm just sad about Via's departure..." Aulia covered up her sadness ,, she couldn't possibly tell the truth

Rio stared intently at Aulia's face, he knew that Aulia was hiding something at the moment,, he knew Aulia very well, so it was not easy for Aulia to lie to Rio

" You're lying...!!!"

" I'm not lying, mas.., if so I say go home first mas ...! "

Rio realized Aulia was avoiding him, he quickly pulled Aulia's hand and hugged her

" Please me mas .. never hug me like this again...!!! " Aulia tried to let go of Rio's embrace, yet Rio's strength was stronger than Aulia's power ,,,

Rio did not respond to Aulia's words, he even tightened his embrace , , , releasing his longing that he had been enduring all this time

"Mas Rio..lepasin me... hiks hyks hyks!!! " cracked the cry of Aulia

Rio quickly took off his embrace and tried to calm Aulia down, he wiped away Aulia's tears that were flowing so profusely

" I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean to hurt you, ', I just..."

" Stop it !!! from now on don't hug me anymore, don't call me honey again and we better not see you again...." The cry of Aulia became,,,

" Don't say that, Honey..." Rio's tears also dripped

Rio's heart was so sick with Aulia's words just now, he just hugged Aulia again,, he was really afraid that Aulia's words would come true,, how he goes on living if he can't meet his soul mate

Honey was Cindy and Rio's mother's call to Aulia, because it was Cindy's mother who first called Aulia with a honey call so Rio also came to call her with the call

This time Aulia could only cry and cry , she did not even know if what she said just now was sincere from her heart or just a momentary emotion ,,, what is clear is that now he belongs to another man and he is trying to give up this second love, because the first love of a daughter (Aulia) is her father ,, then Aulia's second love is Rio, she hopes her husband is the third love and is the last love for her...
