The Little Angel Candidate

16. Secret

...~Happy Reading~...

Adiva covered his body with a blanket, yesterday the father was unable to pick himself up because he was too busy with work. He did not expect that young man named Taksa could take his precious crown, he was truly sorry to have known the young man.

He only found out that the young man was a violent young man, had he heard Amber's ban on him regarding Taksa maybe he would be fine by now. He stared at the clock on the wall of the room, he smiled faintly as he saw the clock hand pointing at the number twelve noon.

He immediately grabbed the phone that was on the nightstand, then opened his smartphone. He tried to find Amber's number, and pressed the number and brought the flat object closer to the right ear.

Somehow Amber was all she needed now, she smiled faintly as Amber picked up the phone connection between the two of them.

"Assynjetoy!"

"Glamma!" answer Adiva and then change his position to sit on the bed.

"What's up, Div?" ask Amber from there.

"You're home from school, aren't you?" tanya Adiva suddenly coughed.

"Yes. Why?"

"Can I ask you a favor? Just accompany me for today?" tanya Adiva bit her lips in doubt.

He was afraid that Amber would reject his invitation, the two of them not best friends but enemies for many years. So it's likely that Amber will reject her invitation, then leave Adiva alone in this house feeling sorry and guilty.

"Can! I happened to be home so I just went there" replied Amber.

Adiva kept his phone away from his right ear, staring at the screen with a look of disbelief. How could the girl accept his invitation to accompany him at home? Even the two of them never once got along with a small problem.

The connection between the two of them was cut off, because Amber would get ready first to hurry to Adiva's house.

They have both been to their respective homes because there are group work assignments, but both have no intention to make friends like the people out there.

How many hours later Amber had just arrived at Adiva's house because she had a problem with her parents, just because she did not want to eat together she ended up having a big fight with both of them.

Honestly, Amber does not like to eat with them, because she constantly feels like a stepchild rather than a biological child. Actually Amber is tired of her life, but she tries to be patient because maybe soon she will leave this world.

"Why did it come?" tanya Adiva invited Amber to go inside.

Amber immediately looked for a reasonable reason, she did not want Adiva to know that she was fighting with her parents.

"Regular! I had time to go to the minimarket to buy snacks for us," replied Amber carrying a large plastic bag containing snacks for them later.

...°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•...

Now here they are, both sitting on the carpeted floor of Adiva's. Soon Adiva will tell Amber everything, somehow Adiva feels that Amber will keep her secret well.

"What do you want to tell?" ask Amber while putting a snack in her mouth.

Adiva did not answer quickly but bit his lower lip afraid that Amber would be angry with him, Adiva sighed deeply and looked at Amber with a serious look.

"I want a story. But you don't get mad, do you?"

Amber frowned confusedly, as strange by the response from Adiva. Why would he be upset if it was related to Adiva? Amber has absolutely no right to be upset if Adiva wants to tell a story.

"Why angry? You, 'will have the right to tell me the same story, '" Amber replied confusedly.

"That's not what I mean,"

Again Adiva bit his lower lip, because Amber did not understand the meaning of his words.

"Actually I didn't go to school because Taksa locked me in his dormitory" Adiva began telling Amber everything.

While Amber just kept quiet while listening to Adiva tell her story, she had to hear the story to the end so she didn't misunderstand Taksa.

"After successfully capturing me they immediately handed me over to Taksa who just happened to still be in his dorm! You know, Taksa forced me to do things we couldn't do,"

In that instant Amber also grasped the mineral bottle tightly so that the bottle was no longer shaped, hearing the story of course Amber was angry because of the action of Taksa.

"So he did that to you?" tanya Amber looked at Adiva with a look of disbelief.

"Yes. At first I was of course rebelling but suddenly I resigned when he hit my body using a belt" Adiva replied.

Amber's body immediately stiffened from the memory of where her father hit her with a belt yesterday afternoon, unknowingly a clear liquid came out from both of her eyelids.

"Tomorrow we must beat Taksa so desperately that Taksa knows that he does not deserve to do that to you" said Amber looked at Adiva seriously.

"Stretch... I'm afraid that Taksa won't take responsibility if you beat him up" Adiva said.

"I know how people behave! It can't be that easy he's in charge. Just look at him forcing you to do that with him?" sahut Amber with a cold tone.

Adiva did not answer but he lamented his unholy fate again, had he managed to escape that time maybe this would not have happened. Instantly Adiva stretched out his hand towards Amber, for the girl to embrace her broken self.

Amber happily hugged Adiva, because she knew Adiva must be broken right now. Let Adiva who kept crying because of the actions of Taksa, after a long time crying in the arms of Amber finally Adiva stopped his crying and released the embrace between the two of them.

"Thank you, huh? Honestly after telling you everything my heart immediately calmed down," Adiva said with a sweet smile towards Amber.

Amber certainly nodded her head and grabbed a snack that was still near them, the two began to tell stories even though most Adiva told Amber. While Amber only notices Adiva who is busy telling her his problem with Amber, she does not realize that Amber suddenly feels pain in her head.

"When you graduate from High School, where will you go?" ask Adiva to Amber.

Amber was silent with a difficult look, to be honest she had no intention of thinking about the matter. Because he is not sure he will be able to get into high school, because he believes his illness will get worse if left.

"Do not know! Maybe according to Papah's words," replied Amber.

"You should choose the course you want! Not their will" said Adiva, shaking his head.

"Stretch... I live with them so I have to follow their words" replied Amber smiling faintly.

"You have the right to choose your own choice! Because no one can ban your choice even if it's your own parents" Adiva said, leaving Amber speechless.

Her night...

Amber had gone home quickly, her parents and Devin were still out for dinner together. Amber's eyes stared at the paper above the living room, and read the contents with tears streaming down her cheeks.

It turns out that all this time his parents always pay attention to Devin because the child has a history of heart leak disease, Amber touched his head because of the pain attacked suddenly.

"Correctly! Mamah and Papah always pay attention to Devin!" amber then dropped herself to sit on the sofa.

After a long silence on the sofa, Amber opened her eyes and stared at the clock on the wall of the living room.

"They'll be home soon,"

Amber moved from the sofa and then set her feet towards the stairs, she had stopped her steps while in the middle of the stairs.

"Bi? Don't forget to make some warm milk for Devin later, huh? Fears Devin will be difficult to sleep if the night without milk," said Amber before continuing her steps.

The middle-aged woman then smiled faintly at Amber's words, even though she was not considered by her family but still Amber cared about them and always told their activities to her.

"Hopefully! You'll be happy after this,"
