"Good day, precedent Revand." said the man who had just surprised the three of them.
"Jiang.! What business are you doing here ? do you want to talk about our cooperation?, if that's what you're here for, I'm sorry, I can't talk about it right now, you know my own thoughts are messed up." replied Revandra.
"I didn't come for that."
"then.?" asked Andre curiously.
"Can't you please let me sit down first.?"
"Well, you can sit down" Danile said, inviting the man to sit next to her.
A moment later the man took off his suit button, then opened his voice
"Presedir Revan, I have something for you."
"Say, I really don't have time."
"It's Aliya's problem."
Hearing Aliya's name, Revandra, Andre and Danile became tense, then looked at the man simultaneously.
"Do you know where Aliya is, Axcel.?"
"Of course I know."
"So you hid the little girl" said Revandra, whose emotions began to peak. But Axcel remained calm, there was not the slightest trace of fear on his face.
Revandra got out of her chair and stepped towards Axcel, about to raise her fist, but Axcel immediately stopped her.
"Revandra, calm down, let Axcel speak first." said Andre.
Axcel who had been calm, changed the look of his face as if he underestimated Revandra, only then returned to talking.
"Aliya is now at my place, I found her four days ago,"
"then why did you say she wasn't with you."
"that's because the little girl whines and asks me to lie, I don't think Presedir Revan, you're such a dick, letting a little girl go by herself doesn't even carry a penny, if only I hadn't come, the girl would've given me her phone as payment for the taxi,"
Revandra only fell silent, she began to dampen her emotions. True what Axcel said, that he was a jerk who let a little girl roam alone.
"Then where the little girl you hid Axcel" Revandra said as she pleaded
"He's in my apartment, it looks like he's calmed down, this time I'll let you persuade and pick him up. I don't know what happened between you and Aliya before Revan, but if one day you make that girl doubt again, don't blame me for taking her away from your side."
"How dare you threaten me.?"
"I'm not threatening you. Four days Aliya was with me, just a blank stare that I always got, just last night the girl was calm, so I told you to pick her up."
Revandra just silently allowed Axcel's words.
"Well, precedent Revan, I'll go first, I hope you remember what I said. Don't force her again and make her cry, I'm giving up now, but next time never will" axcel said firmly as he moved from his seat and out of the room when he saw Revandra's gaze on him.
"We already know where Aliya is, I'd better go home first, to tell my grandfather and father about this news" Danile said.
The passing of Danile, Andre laughed mockingly at Revandra, making Revandra look at him like a gaze wanting to devour Andre alive.
"What are you laughing at.?"
"Of course laugh at you."
"What's wrong with me.?"
"There's nothing wrong, it's just that it feels so good to see you. A notorious and domineering attendant was threatened by a boy nine years younger than you, and you said nothing instead, when the threat was thrown right in front of you.
"Regard laughing at me Andre, right now I do feel like I'm at my lowest."
"Then what are you waiting for, Revan.? don't you miss that little girl, pick her up and give her an explanation, and remember not to let you scare her."

"Sister Axcel, didn't you just leave, back to la.g.i." said Aliya shocked at his last word. The girl was surprised it was not Axcel who came but a figure that scared her so much that she chose to hide in Axcel's place.
"Aye..Dad..!" stammeredly.
Seeing the girl who had not been by his side for four days, Revandra immediately hugged the girl tightly, Feeling the body in her arms tremble, Revandra let go of the hug and looked inside Aliya's face.
"Aliya, I'm sorry I scared you." but the girl stepped back.
Revandra who saw Aliya's response to him felt frustrated, the girl he loved so much seemed to reject him greatly. Her tears began to fall, a Revandra who was known to be cruel and firmly shed tears just because the girl was like afraid of him.
"Aliya, please dear, don't torture me.! give me time to explain it to you, please..!" please Revandra to the girl.
"It's Dad, there's nothing to explain."
Hearing Aliya reject him to explain, Revandra remembered Axcel's words earlier, never forcing him, not to,
"Well Al, if you don't listen to my explanation, I will go and wait for you until you accept and hear my explanation" Revandra said, then turned around wiping her tears.
Just as Revandra was about to step out the door, her steps came to a halt, Aliya was already hugging her from behind.
"Don't go Daddy.!" Aliya. He could not deny, even though Revandra had scared and traumatized him, deep down, he still loved the figure very much.
Revandra turned around, and again hugged Aliya tightly, making the girl a little difficult to breathe.
"Ohh..! Aliya, my little girl, you finally want to forgive me."
"Who said Aliya forgives you dad.! you haven't given me an explanation." Acting back spoiled to Revandra.
How happy Revandra was to see her little girl back as sweet as ever.
"Well, I'll explain it." while leading Aliya to sit on the sofa.
"What will you explain father"
"Aliya, listen carefully. The night you saw me with Magie, it wasn't what you thought."
"But I saw you kissing her."
"No dear.! I didn't kiss her, I was so thirsty that I couldn't help it, I got down and I was wearing a shirt and just shorts, but Magie suddenly stopped me, and was about to kiss me, but I dodged, but before that you misunderstood me and I just looked back, that's what you saw us like kissing.
"REally.?"
"Yes, have I ever lied to you Aliya.?"
The girl was silent for a moment, it was true that Revndra had not been lying to her even though, even though the little things had never been hidden. Then the girl looked at Revandra's face and asked.
"Then, how do you describe something that Aren and Andre saw when I wasn't at my dad's house.?" ask Aliya who already knows the problem from Aren.
"I admit Al, I almost lost my sanity, but your shadows stopped me. And when I wanted to avoid Magie, Aren and Andre saw it."
"REally.?"
"Yes baby.! Do you believe me.?"
"Aliya believed, but to be honest, Aliya was afraid of what you did to Magie Father, I was afraid that you would do that to me."
Revandra took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as well, then held onto Aliya's cheek with both hands.
"Aliya, as long as you live with me, have I ever been rude to you.? I love you so much. So, I'll never torture you like Magie, you and her are different baby.!"
"But why did you force me at that time, Dad.?"
"I had lost my mind by then, I thought that by doing so, you would forgive me, but in fact you would rather lie to me and choose to stay away from me, or did you, Aliya, I've been so frustrated for four days."
Seriate...
