There's Only You

CHAPTER 18 - Meeting Again

For a week now, Aurora has been watching Alwi concerts on TV. Because only then, his longing for the man could be a little treated.

But what he always saw now was, Alwi's gloomy and cold face every time he turned on the TV. Was the man's attitude the result of his rejection the other day? Is that Alwi's attitude, making him so stressed and slumped?

If the man knew his true feelings. If the man knew why he refused. And if the man knew, that he too was devastated by his own decision.

Aurora felt that she could no longer bear this kind of situation.

Is it time for him to meet the man? Moreover, seeing the audience that increasingly looks disappointed, with Alwi's performance is declining. He felt that what happened to the man was because of him.

Aurora got out of bed and approached the closet. Then he took a jacket and jeans. He also took his sunglasses from inside the drawer. Wearing it.

Alwi who was on stage with a feeling that was still upset, trying to focus. Slowly he began to listen to her voice, while playing the guitar.

But as usual. Aurora's shadow again dominated her mind. Until making his appearance began to collapse again. I don't know what else he had to do to forget about the girl.

The audience who began to be disappointed, because the man did not sing and music properly, began to cheer disappointed. Makes Reno feel anxious again. Though previously Alwi had promised, will return to perform as well as possible as before.

But in fact, the man was unable to keep his words. He himself did not understand, actually the big problem is what makes Alwi who has always been energetic and perfect in every appearance, suddenly changed drastically like this.

If this continues, he can return to be reprimanded from the agency. Or worse, it could be threatened with dismissal.

Alwi who still received cynical cheers from the audience, still could not do anything to stop all that. His mind was getting chaotic and confused, so it felt like he wanted to leave that place.

But suddenly he was stunned to see the figure of a woman who felt familiar in his eyes, who was standing among thousands of spectators who crowded the stage. The woman was wearing a jacket with a hat covering her head. And sunglasses that cover both eyes.

Alwi could not believe that the girl he had missed so much for a week was here. The girl who almost drove him crazy, until his career was almost ruined came to his show and watched it? Is this a dream or a hallucination?

The girl opened her glasses, and looked at her with her two beautiful eyeballs. A smile that looked longing radiated on her beautiful face.

Like a power that enters and spreads throughout his body, Alwi with his spirit strumming the guitar and playing his voice through the microphone.

The audience who previously gave a cynical cheer and filled with disappointment, now turned into cheers and applause full of admiration, because Alwi's performance had re-liked and made them drift away.

Aurora was happy to see that the man had returned to performing well, and was as perfect as ever. His little bit of guilt for having let the man down was lessened.

Although for the next, he was still not sure of their relationship later, which of course would not be easy and colored with twists and turns.

"Miss, what do you want to drink? Let me prepare" Tawar Reno kindly while grinning in front of the two of them.

Now he knew what caused Alwi to lose his passion all along. It turned out that the cause was the girl who was currently in front of him. And he was happy that he would avoid major problems with the agency, and his job was safe.

"thank you. But I'm not thirsty" Reject Aurora blandly.

"Yes already then. Oh yes Miss, I think this is what is called the miracle of love. You know, it's been a few days, Alwi like a person who lost his spirit. His performance greatly disappointed the audience and the label. But tonight, he came back to perform perfectly and very satisfactorily. I think it's all thanks to Miss Aurora. Isn't that Miss?"

Chirp Reno while smiling seductively. But his silly attitude could not make Alwi or Aurora smile funny. The problems between them are still unresolved.

"Reno has had enough. Could you please just leave us alone?" Tegur Alwi with flat.

"Yes, just calm down. Slow. I don't want to either, be a mosquito repellent between the two of you" Reno was still grimacing, then she approached Alwi and whispered seductively. "Good luck yeah"

"Go" said Alwi furiously and coldly.

"Yes-yes. Excuse me Miss" Gerutu Reno who then glanced at Aurora and again showed off a teasing smile, before she came out and left the two lovebirds.

Now only the two of them live in that room. The awkward atmosphere was back. They were nervous and confused about what to say. Just a week ago, their relationship melted and was filled with laughter. But now it's back stiff.

"I'm sorry, because of me, you're like this. I never meant to ruin your life, and your career...." Aurora decided to start the conversation without turning her head to look at Alwi. His looks are flat too.

"No need to apologize. You never make any mistakes. Instead I am very grateful, because you were not serious about what you said that night, not to see me again. I thought I would never see you again. But it turns out I was wrong. You came here. Watching my concert.

And now you want to talk to me. I'm very happy and happy. That's right what Reno said. Your presence is the encouragement of my life. I love you Aurora. I love you, ever since I first saw you being raided that night. Your pretty face, your cold demeanor, has earned a place in my heart. Special place. Special place"

At length Alwi expressed his deepest feelings while gently grasping Aurora's fingers.

His gaze, which seemed so deep and loving, seemed to pierce through the heart of Aurora. Makes the girl feel more melo and no longer know how to reject it.

Slowly Aurora held and pulled her hand from Alwi's hand, and broke off their eye contact.

"Al, I did come here for you. But not to be your lover. You better not expect too much from me. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Maybe for you, this relationship can happen easily without a hitch. But for me, it's too heavy"

"Is this because of Gibran....?"
