Ara silently listened without cutting in the slightest. Ara was surprised not to play when she found out that one fact.
"After we take Aluna to the hospital, the reality hurts more we can.", Gio hangs up his words and tightens his arms, trying to calm down while remembering the terrible incident.
"The doctor said, Aluna was pregnant but the baby was not there because of violence and abuse that resulted in her fetus could not survive. The doctor said Aluna had died about 1 hour before being taken to the hospital. And Aluna didn't kill herself but was killed" Gio said slowly.
"That's what makes Ken hate me more. She thinks I made Aluna like that, she misunderstood me and thought that I made Aluna and the baby die" she continued.
Gio's eyes closed in light of the times when Ken beat him up and blamed him for everything that happened, his chest instantly tightened. There's still some truth Ken doesn't know, but Gio still keeps it. He thinks now's not the time to tell Ken everything. Although it had been almost 4 years but he was sure, Ken would never want to listen to him.
"So this is what makes Ken hate you?", asked Ara to make Gio nod.
"This is what makes you difficult to sleep every night?", asked Ara again who only replied nod by Gio.
"Aluna, the girl whose picture is in your room?", Ara's third question was again answered by a nod by Gio. His body is so weak now. Fortunately, Ara was always able to give her comfort and tranquility.
"Baby Aluna.... "
"Ken's son" Gio answered before Ara finished the question.
"Who killed him?", asked Ara looking up at Gio's sad face.
Gio just shook his head, not knowing. No, not because Gio really does not know, it's just that he has not found the person, even four years he and Arsal have always been looking for that person but the results are futile. He had absolutely no idea Aluna had any enemies. The girl was too good to have enemies, as far as she knew Aluna, she had not heard Aluna hate or hate someone at all. Even Aluna's friends were just the three of them.
"Do you love her?", asked Ara again.
Gio nodded back and re-collapsed his body to Ara. "I consider him my sister. Losing him was one of the heavy blows for me" Gio replied.
Now Ara understood why Gio was being overprotective with Gea. He's had a bad experience and he's traumatized to lose.
"Raa.". ", call Gio slowly.
"Yes? ",A,
"Don't stay with me. Whatever the case, if you are angry, just curse me, beat me until your anger is released but never ever you stay with me", Pinta Gio pleaded.
"I don't want to lose and I don't want to be alone without you" he continued to make Ara's chest warm.
Ara nodded definitely while tightening her embrace.
"Rul....",
"Hmmm", uh",
"You'll always be first and last, and even until I die, my love for you will never change".
...---🐰🐰🐰---...
This morning after breakfast, the eight youngsters were gathered near the pool, the plan is today they will swim together. Nothing is different, everything is just as fun. It's just that, Gio who had been clinging to his sister. As a result of Ara's kebellet and until now has not returned also makes Gea have to take care of the big baby.
Zian, Reyhan and Dara have been together since then and are now in an impromptu swimming race in a large swimming pool located behind the villa. Arsal persuades Naya to swim with him.
"Abang go in, no papa really" said Gea gently rubbed the back of his brother's head which is now leaning on his shoulder, not wanting to look at the pool water.
"Don't lose yourself" Gea said again.
Gio shook his head in response, he was controlling himself now. For the sake of Arsal being single, Gio really had trouble controlling himself.
"Abang wants to learn to fight fear brother", said Gio slowly.
"Where would you fight if your brother from earlier just swooped Gea gini, do not want to fumble", said Gea.
"No one wants to teach his brother" said Gio exasperated still with his position.
"Wisdom swimming if you forget", said Gea snorting. "If you are afraid, yes it has come off first, Adek ajarin deh" said Gea was about to release her brother's hug but again tightened Gio.
"Smart swimming kayak", chirped Gio made Gea chuckle slowly.
"It's not the trauma of my brother missing, my brother's life being lost" he continued.
Angrily Gea hit her brother's straight back. If you like it, Inner Gea.
Look at Gea then turned to Dara who had laughed loudly with Zian and Reyhan. He was happy to see the view in front of him. Naya has also learned to swim with Arsal.
"Diajarin Dara want not bang?", asked Gea to offer an offer that was immediately rejected by Gio.
Not what, but.... "Adek know himself, you can calm down with anyone", said Gio to make Gea snort. True also his brother will only be able to feel calm if with his mother, his sister and now there is also Ara.
"Brother's wife, your time" chirped Gio who sounded so annoying in Gea's ear.
Not far from them, stood a beautiful girl wrapped in a shirt and hot pants was observing the two with a warm smile. He loved the interaction of the two brothers so much, so adorable in his opinion. But behind that warm smile, tucked in envy that made Ara's chest a little tight. He has no brothers and his family hates him. But there is also gratitude to know Gio and his family, from them Ara can again feel how warm a family.
Ara walked over still with her smile making Gio instantly let go of her embrace. Even the distance that could be said to be not too close was Gio could recognize the fragrance of Ara perfume made him realize the presence of the girl.
"Well, there", drive Gio away at Gea who is now looking at him cynically.
"Girls of his handlers came, even ngusir. Who was the one who was whining for company", annoyed Gea.
"That ah, sana. Adek noisy", throw Gio again make Gea grunt annoyed and then move to leave the two.
Ara stood in front of Gio with a faint smile. His hands stretched out gently rubbing the hair of the man. Gio closed his eyes enjoying every sweep of Ara's delicate hand.
"You want to try?", asked Ara gently making Gio open her eyes and look up at Ara.
A few seconds silent, Gio finally nodded in agreement. He had to dare to fight his own fears, right?. Seeing Gio's approval, Ara smiled faintly and held Gio's hand towards the edge of the pool.
The girl immediately went down while still holding Gio's hand. As for Gio, don't ask what happened to him right now. It was clear his body was resisting and giving an overreaction. The man's body instantly shook violently as his gaze was fixed on the pond, especially when his feet touched the cold water by the pool.
"Sir papa. Come down", persuade Ara gently.
Gio who was already crouching, closed his eyes and shook his head slowly. For God's sake, the shadow instantly took control of his mind.
"Don't guarantee his eyes. Look at me", Ara's orders cupped Gio's cheeks.
The man clad in a black shirt and matching colored shorts slowly opened his eyes and looked into Ara's eyes inside. Even in the midst of her lover's fear, Ara could see who was in the eyes of the handsome man. Well, there's only him.
"Look at me and fight if he wants to come to your mind again" said Ara again.
Gio did not even take his eyes off the pretty face of the girl. As if immersed in the beautiful bead of eyes belonging to Ara.Gio grasped the hand of Ara that was on his cheek and dodged his breath slowly.it seemed like he was already a little calmer.
"Now we try", Ara's command made Gio nod.
"Let's slow. If you are afraid to see the water, guard your eyes and shadow your mother again see you with a very sweet smile", Ara instructions again.
Gio slowly complied, his eyes closed according to what Ara had ordered. In his head the shadow of the terrible event was changing with the shadow of the beautiful face of the mother and her girl made Gio still unable to fully calm down.
The man could feel whether the water had now touched his body to the waist. Gio quickly opened his eyes and looked at Ara unsettled. He can't, really.
With one move Gio pulled Ara, hugged the girl tightly and drowned her face drowned in Ara's neck. Gio's body reaction made Ara convinced, the man was already not strong.
"Don't want to be here", muttered Gio shaking quickly.
While at the end of there, 6 teenagers were watching Gio from now on, even Arsal and Gea were sure Gio could not.
"You get out, Ara, get out. Don't want to be here", whine Gio.
"OK okay we're off to the edge, now loose", Ara orders. Gio shook his head strongly.
"I can't take you to your knees" said Ara again after receiving Gio's rejection.
Gio quickly took off Ara and moved quickly to the edge of the pool and ran into the villa. With great difficulty Ara chased after Gio.
"Darling."., call Ara.
Ara went through each room and managed to get the position of Gio. The man in the wet shirt was sitting in a corner with his body shaking and both hands hugging his own knees. Exactly like a child who was scolded by his mother.
"Gio, dear." call Ara to crouch in front of Gio.
Gio raised his head and looked at Ara with a gaze between fear, sadness and feeling guilty.
"I trouble you?" he asked slowly.
"No love", said Ara.
"I can't yet. I suck huh?", asked Gio again.
Ahh Ara felt very anxious to bite Gio's cheek so anxious.
"You're great, try it. Tomorrow we learn again", entertain Ara rubbing Gio's sign gently.
