There's Only You
CHAPTER 14 - The Unnerved
His words instantly made Aurora stop her steps and be silent for a while. He admitted that what the man said had a point. Her mood is deteriorating due to an incident last night.
Plus, this morning when he woke up, his mother was gone. He was sure he didn't wake up. But he was sure that the woman was avoiding him. Aurora turned to look at the man back.
"Whatever happens between me and my family, it's none of your business. So I'm asking you please don't interfere in my business. Because I'm sure, you must also have a lot to do with your profession as a superstar right?" Aurora said coldly. Alwi approached and held her wrist gently.
"Gapain hold-hold? You are not less
teach yes. Don't wait around because you're a star who has a lot of fans, so you can be nice to everyone. I can also shout if you dare to mess with me" Aurora exclaimed as she rebelled trying to rid herself of the man.
"Have you finished your rant, miss? You think I'm that crazy, so you want to ruin my career that's shining brightly by harassing my producer's own daughter?" Alwi said casually, without being affected by the threat posed by the woman.
"Then what do you want?" Aurora asked in annoyance and confusion.
"Can you come with me for a second? There's something I want to show you. And I think this can help a little bit to reduce your turmoil" Alwi pulled Aurora's hand while walking.
"Yes but.... Where you going?" Omel Aurora who inevitably had to follow Alwi's footsteps away from the store.

Alwi invites Aurora to the rooftop in a towering building. Aurora stared at the spacious and desolate roof with a hint of horror. Various prejudices began to slip into his mind.
"Why did you bring me here? You think I've been sinister so stressed, that I had the intention to end my own life? You think I've been that bored with my life?" Accuse Aurora with a pacifier.
"God. Why are you always so prejudiced against me? You think I've been that bored with my bright life. I still really want to enjoy my time as a star. You think I've done something like that, so want to spend my life in jail with me pushing a girl who's frustrated with her life to commit suicide? You think Om Arifin will let me go, if you get it why-why because of me?" Alwi with his leisure.
"Why are you taking me to a place like this? Justsaytheword. There is no need to use the all-round puzzle show" Gerutu Aurora who makes Alwi smile angrily at his attitude that looks funny.
"I'll definitely explain it Miss, if you don't continue to grumble and accuse me of being a nondescript. Okay?" Alwi chirping that made Aurora sigh heavily in annoyance.
"Let's look there" Alwi pointed to the corner of the rooftop. Aurora was amazed to see a set of musical instruments plastered in front of her such as mic, piano, guitar, bass drumd and others.
He looked at Alwi in confusion. As if asking for an answer to the man's intentions and goals took him to a place like this. Understanding the meaning of the woman's gaze Alwi said softly and with a smile.
"Om Arifin didn't tell me anything, about your family matters. But from your Mama's arrival at last night's show, it makes me a little catchy, if it really is.... You have a hobby of singing. I can see that music is half your pleasure.
You have the right to express your hobbies. As long as it can entertain and make you happy. And of course, what you're doing is not bothering anyone. You can even entertain others with your voice. But... If you can't do it to keep your Mama feeling, you don't have to do it in front of the world.
You can do it in a quiet place and away from the crowd. Like this place. Most importantly, you can feel satisfied and relieved. And your mother's feelings, you can stay awake. Are you interested in the ideas I offer? If so, you can try it now.
Take it easy, here there is no camera that will capture your activities. And your mama I think... It won't be possible to get to this place. So you can do whatever you want here, without fearing that there will be a pair of eyes, ears, or cameras that will be witnesses of your activities other than us"
Aurora was silent at the man's suggestion. He looked at Alwi with a gasp. I don't know why his heart feels calm and comfortable.
Without saying a word, he walked up to the instruments slowly. He sat on a chair in front of the mic stand. His fingers began to play the piano.
Aurora looked at Alwi who was walking towards her with a sparkling face. The man picked up the guitar and draped his shoulder. The tone and rhythm of the music began to be played. At first, only Aurora sang.
But after some Aurora lyrics hum, Alwi also chimed in. The two happily combined their melodious voices in one romantic genre song, amidst a quiet and calm atmosphere. Accompanied by bright air and breezy wind, which makes the mood feel cool and light.
Alwi was happy to see the smile that emanated on Aurora's face. A smile aimed at him. The smile that was present was a result of the success of his idea that had brought the girl to this place.
And this was the first time he had seen the girl give a smile to him. Makes her heart feel flowery.

At seven o'clock the Divia arrived at his house. Aurora who had been waiting for her Mama's return earlier, enthusiastically opened the door for the woman.
"Ma, is Mama home?" Aurora smiled sweetly welcoming the arrival of her Mama.
"Yes dear. Mama is tired. Mama wants to rest first yes" Divia replied blandly. Either because he was exhausted, or because he still could not forget the incident at the party last night.
"Ma wait a minute" Aurora quickly pulled the arm of her mother who was about to step her leg away from her. "We go out for a while yuk" Invite him while struggling spoiled in his Mama's arms
"Mama said, Mama is tired. Today the store is crowded. So now Mama wants to just take a break. If you want to go out tomorrow, yes"
"Just a second. There's something I want to show you. Pleases... Come with me yes. Come on" Aurora withdrew her mother's hand, making the middle-aged woman inevitably able to only follow her daughter.
