Taste and Lust

Chapter 57

Hendry opened his eyes, he did not see Afia next to him. He lowered his legs and walked into the bathroom washing his face. After that Hendry came out of the room to the lower floor immediately saw Abbas along with Dina was sipping a glass of hot coffee.

"Good morning pa ma" Hendry told the two men.

"Morning too Hendry" they replied. "Let's sit down baby, there's an important thing you want to talk to your mom about".

Hendry looked to his right left, "Afia where is ma? Did mama see it?".

Dina pretended not to know while shrugging both shoulders, while Abbas was busy reading his newspaper so that he did not hear Hendry's question.

"Let's sit down baby, most Afia is taking a walk around our house" said Dina carrying Hendry sitting next to her. "You listen to Mama well, Hendry".

"What is ma?".

"Same papa wants you to continue your education dear abroad".

"What's? Hendry doesn't want ma. I can't leave pregnant Afia here".

Abbas then stopped his newspaper from seeing Hendry who was completely unwilling to leave Afia without them realizing that at the end of it Afia was listening to the conversation.

"Truely said your mother Hendry, papa also agreed that you continue your education abroad. I think you also know that Abian, Dafa and Chan are continuing their education abroad. You want to be here too?".

"I don't care, Dad, I'm gonna go to college here. I can't leave Afia pregnant".

"Papa knows Hendry. You don't have to worry, he'll be fine while he's still in this house".

"Yes dear, trust the same papa and mama well. We both promise to take good care of her as long as you're really focused on your college".

Hendry was silent, which he thought at this time he could not leave Afia who was pregnant with her child. And what if Midnight Afia feels sick or something else? That makes Hendry very worried if he went to leave Afia in the house.

"Why did you shut up, Hendry? Come on baby, you're the sole heir to the Mapolo family and someday you'll run the company if your dad gets sick".

"I don't want ma. I really can't leave Afia. What if at midnight he's looking for me? And what if he suddenly wants to eat something and also feels pain in his stomach? Can I possibly ma? What kind of man am I leaving him at a time like this? I can't ma. Sorry".

Dina took a deep breath. Afia who was watching Dina's face from a distance, she was very sure that Dina currently really hated her.

"Oh my God, I just wanted to be happy to be able to live in this luxurious house with Hendry. But in fact, my dream disappeared immediately and had to mengikhlaskan if indeed Hendry ended up studying abroad".

Afia then left from there, she walked towards the park again with a sad face. "Well you?" call one of the young servants.

Afia immediately saw him, "Yes, how can I help you?".

"Mmmmm, but first we meet. My name is Siska, are you?".

Afia returned her hand, "My name is Afia, you just call Fia. Then what can I help you with?" ask Afia.

"I'm afraid Siska, I'm so scared" Afia replied hiding behind Siska's body making Siska upset to let go of Afia's embrace. "sorry".

Siska snapped at him, then pushed Afia's body to the point that it was struck right in front of the fruit beast cage with tears immediately dripping. But at that moment, Afia felt something very rude to her tears.

Afia then fell silent, she thought the animal would eat her or tear her body apart seeing the tiger was so big that anyone who saw it would be so frightened. But unlike Afia, the tiger bent his body.

Afia then smiled happily, she called out to Siska who was behind her. But he did not see Siska there anymore.

"Well, where'd he go?".

Afia then smiled back to see the tiger, she tried to extend her hand on the tiger's head gently until it made the tiger like her very much.

"Well, you're really good. I thought you were going to pounce on me, apparently not hehehehe. I like you, what's your name? I forgot that you are a tiger" Afia was getting anxious wiping the tiger's head. "My name is Afi...

"Afia...! Fiaaa!" call Hendry.

Afia who heard his name called, she smiled happily knowing that the one who called his name was Hendry. "Oo, it's Hendry. You heard that sound, right? He is a man I love very much. You must know, right?".

Afia then stood up and walked away from the tiger to see Hendry coming along with Abbas, Dina and also some officers in his house who were sturdy making him confused what was with them.

"Afia, are you okay, baby?" asked Hendry directly hugged his body with affection. "Honey, you almost made me die" Afia then let go of Hendry's embrace, she asked why Hendry asked like that.

Abbas saw him, "Are you okay? You're okay, right?".

Afia smiled nodding her head in a sign that she was okay. After that, they can breathe.

"Fia, why are you here? This is not a place you can come to.....

"I love this place, Henry. Oh right, that tiger is so good Hendry, I just became friends with him hehehhe.. I really like it a lot".

"What?" shocked they with round eyes did not believe what Afia had just said. "You mean Fia?".

"Mmmm, that tiger is very good. I'm sure it must be Abbas' pet".

Abbas then walked closer to the tiger cage, which was very fierce, he then saw the tiger looking at them with sharp eyes to want to pounce on them and it immediately made them unable to believe Afia's words.

"Afia, the tiger is impossible...

"But I told Hendry the truth that the tiger was.. There was no way I was hallucinating, obviously I still had time to chat with him" Afia replied seeing Abbas approaching the tiger.

"You see that, Fia? The papa who had nurtured him since childhood was not very close to him. Especially those of you whom he doesn't know at all?".

"Well, am I ashamed? But it felt like it was real, Hendry".
