The Story of Love

CHAPTER 52 (FLASHBACK)

October 17th, 2014

*Someone's footsteps are heard filling the room. A man still in his school clothes kept circling the living room of the house

“She’s your sister?” his question pointed to a small picture frame containing pictures of two girls who were hugging

Alula approaching. Lifting the frame that had already caught the attention of his new neighbor, Alvino. Familiar with the call of Vino

Men of Indonesian descent who attended school in London. Although not as friendly as Alula expected, at least Vino still wants to accompany Alula when her mother has not returned home

“Yes. She’s so beautiful. Her eyes is amazing if you see that” said Alula who smiled widely

“Sayang. All she saw was her hair

Alula laughed lightly, making Vino's attention immediately directed at the beautiful arch he created

He put the photo in the original position “Her eyes, look like my father”

Alvin nodded in understanding, looking at Alula who was very beautiful even though only seen from the side “And your eyes, look like your mother. Right?”

The views of the two met, Alula smiled very sweetly “As you see”

“You since when to stay here?”

Enough questions to make Vino go silent for a moment. Silenced by a simple question from Alula

Looking at the uncomfortable looking Vino, he ordered the man to sit on the sofa and immediately grab a cold drink from the kitchen

When he returned, he found Alvin who was still silent and lowered his head. I don't know what he stared at to put on a very serious look

Anxiously, Alula placed the canned drink on Alvin's white cheek. Making the man jump in shock and Alula laughs in satisfaction

“Mother with Papa just divorced. Papa is too affectionate with Mother, until for Mother long finally uncomfortable with the same possessive attitude that is too excessive. Forbidden this, forbidden it, can't go there, can't come here, don't do this, don't be. While Mother is super active”

Vino stared in shock at Alula who suddenly told her family story, but there was one that amazed her greatly. Although what was discussed was not something encouraging, the girl could still smile

He glanced at Vino “Bunda saying, he has survived for a long time for his children. But Papa remains unchanged, still with his own selfishness”

But Vino understood, deep pain in the smile that Alula was trying to create. He still chooses silence

Alula takes a deep breath “For the first time, I hate Papa's affectionate nature for Mommy. She released Mommy, she accepted the lawsuit. Papa is too dear to see Mother who prostrates for one word. Sepah”

Vino leaned his back against the back of the sofa. Look up to stare at the ceiling decorated with luxurious chandeliers

Sighing, I plumbed into Alula's brown eyes which looked very charming. Reassure yourself that you are talking to the right person

“Papa Mama is also temporarily divorced. But it's very different from that story. Papa married secretly with HRD in his company. Mama who knows automatically immediately wrath, there is no such thing as a second chance for Papa. And this is how it ends” said Vino with a relaxed face

“But Mama must procrastinate, because of the circumstances she is again pregnant”

Alula watched every word for word that came out. Look at the man sitting next to her

“Mama immediately take me to move to London. The boutique headquarters because it is here, he busy himself with business and his son who is this grain” Vino chuckles softly at the end of his sentence

Making Alula without a word immediately hugged Vino, making her certainly very shocked. But his brain was numb, he was stiff

Gently, Alula patted Vino's back “Stay strong No. You must know? If that's the case now, all that matters to Mama is you. Just you”

The two were in that position long enough, before Alula let go of Vino. Makes Vino can't stand to mess up Alula's long hair

“Kok can heck, a child your age can be this mature?”

Hearing this, Alula shrugged her shoulders indifferently “Entah. Because of time, maybe?”

Vino took a sip of the drink that Alula had served, staring at the girl from the side

“You two are here?” ask Vino to make sure

“Iya. During the day, it is usually alone. Mommy is still in the office, most back home at 4 an lah”, Alula replied while looking at the clock that already showed the number 3

TRITT TRITT TRITT

The ringing tone of the call from Alula's cell phone, made the girl immediately run to reach for the cardigan she hung near the entrance. Grab the bag to get the square object

Quickly, he shifted the green icon to display Papa's handsome face with his shining green eyes

“Assalamualaikum Alula's. The handsome Masya Allah is very” greeting cheerful Alula

Papa looks very happy with his smile there “Waalaikumussalam Papa's more beautiful son lives in the country of orang”

Alula pouted, very funny “Try aja, Lala eyes rich Papa eyes. Must be prettier”

“Eitts. Can't say so, thank you dear” reprimand Papa who still sounds soft “Alula has lunch?”

In spirit, Alula nodded “Iya dong. Papa also don't forget dinner”

There, Papa is seen sitting in his chair

“Siap. Papa has eaten from earlier. Same with your sister also”

Alula suddenly put on a sour look “Aaa. So miss the child”

“You call tomorrow. Your sister is learning again, want to repeat she said” With half sincerity, Alula finally nodded

“Lala if you are home alone, the door should not forget to lock. The fence also do not forget to be closed” Papa reminded, knowing how forgetful the attitude of his son this one

Gosh darn. He almost forgot the existence of Vino who had just looked at him in silence

“Eits. Lala is not alone you at home, Lala has new friends”

Alula stepped closer to Vino who was suddenly nervous herself. Realizing that he will be introduced to Papa Alula

He directs the phone screen to focus on the face of Vino “He's called Vino Pa. The person is flat, but good kok” said Alula started his introductory session

Papa squinting eyebrows “Ha..Hello Om. My Vino, Alvino”

“Iya. Don't mess with me like my son, watch out. I kick you out of the world if you dare to touch my daughter” threatened Papa who sounded not kidding

Vino gulped his saliva roughly “I..Yes Om”

“PAPAA*”
