There's Only You

CHAPTER 19-Give Me a Chance

"Al, I emphasize once again, this has absolutely nothing to do with Gibran. But this is about my past with my family, which is related to your current profession" Aurora said firmly.

"You mean?" Alwi asked in confusion. His curiosity was so big and soaring.

Aurora finally told me

it's all about his childhood. Starting from both parents who married because of matchmaking. How his father, a top musician, had an affair with his own duet partner, until his mother demanded divorce because she felt betrayed.

And the long tail of their feud is, his dream to follow in his father's footsteps as a singer should he bury deeply.

"My mother was devastated and hurt, knowing of Papa and Aunt Mauli's affair. Her own duet friend. At that time, I was eleven years old. And I had to watch my parents split up. And my father remarried to the woman he loved. The woman who had made him betray his marriage to Mama.

Not enough to get there, the event also left a deep wound and trauma in the heart of Mama. The trauma that scared her, if I too would have experienced what she had already experienced. That's why, since then, he has forbidden me to play music and sing. Even he threw away all the musical instruments I had. My favorite musical instruments.

All he's lost, until there's nothing left. Since childhood, I have dreamed, to be able to follow in the footsteps of Papa to become a successful and famous singer. And I realized my ability at it. I inherited Arifin Prakarsa's art blood. Plus, I've been training with Papa a lot.

But as a result of the affair he did, it had ruined everything. Destroying the wholeness and happiness of our family. Make my dreams shackled. In fact, I should bury it deep"

The long-winded Aurora told me with a wistful and glaring gaze. Unknowingly the clear liquid escaped from both of his eye peluk.

Alwi was stunned to hear the story of the girl of his heart about his life story. He did not expect, if the barrier to their relationship was none other than his own profession? Ambition that he has painstakingly achieved.

Aurora is very scared if she goes viral. Is this the reason? What kind of fate game is this?!

"And you, too, think.... What if I were like your father? I'm gonna betray you, with another woman? Since I have the same profession as your Papa, even I am in his shade? Is that what you think of me?"

Alwi asked softly. He stared at Aurora intensely. Trying to find out the meaning of the woman's views and judgments against him.

"I don't know. Because I don't think I have the right to judge and judge anyone including you. Because of your heart, only you know it. I wasn't. And I dare not myself, to go any further with you. I'm afraid I'm disappointed again. Like when I was disappointed in Gibran" Aurora looked at Alwi and said honestly, on the sidelines of her tears that kept flowing.

Alwi wiped away Aurora's tears with her palms slowly and gently. "I understand your fear and disappointment. But I'm not Gibran. Who cannot be satisfied with one woman. Nor am I your Father, who married your Mama because of an arranged marriage. In the end, I prefer other women. I am Alwi Yudhistira, many women surround me. Chasing after me. But none of them were able to make me feel interested. It's just you, I can feel a different feeling. Love feelings. No woman can make me feel satisfied except you. If someday God allows us to be bound in marriage, it is all because of love. Not because of the match. So no other woman can have my heart, which you already have"

Aurora fell silent with a feeling of doubt and hesitation. On the one hand he could feel sincerity and earnestness, in every word that Alwi spoke. But on the other hand, he also worried about Mama who was so stubborn, and had strictly prohibited her from music early on.

And now, it felt impossible that his mother would let him come into contact with Alwi. Moreover, the man also had a relationship with an ex-husband who had betrayed him.

Alwi summarized Aurora's face and brought her face closer to the girl. "I beg you, please give me one chance, to prove that you are the only woman in my heart and life" Alwi said softly and pleadingly.

It made Aurora feel even more worried. Until it felt like he could no longer refuse his heart, who wanted to be with the man. Aurora decides to get into a relationship with Alwi.

But on one condition. The relationship must be kept secret from everyone, especially her mother. Because he was still not ready to expose their relationship, while he himself was still very confident that his mother would not give him the green light.

Alwi did not feel the slightest objection to those conditions. He promised to wait faithfully, until the heart of his mother Aurora could be broken. And the woman could forget her past trauma.

Since that night, the two of them have officially become lovers. But no one knew about the relationship, other than the two of them. But even so, they still feel happy.

At least now they no longer need to be far away from each other. They can still spend time together to combine love secretly, and without being exposed to the media.

Sometimes when they are both busy with their respective activities, Alwi always took the time to spoil his lover, with a variety of small gifts such as flowers, chocolate, and so on, dolls and so on that could make Aurora happy, and feel treated with special by her beloved man.

Alwi always sends surprises when Aurora is on campus or outside. Because there's no way he sent her when she was at home. Because the risk is, the discovery of their relationship to Divia.

Aurora is very happy with her life now, after the presence of Alwi in her life that always makes her feel as a lucky woman. He was like rediscovering the light in his life, which had been extinguished.

Although for the time being, he was still unable to fully feel relieved. Because the stumbling block in their relationship still exists. It was his own mother. But he was determined to fight to soften his mother's heart.

Not only Alwi who pamper Aurora with various gifts sent. Aurora did the same. He always sent his own homemade food to Alwi, whenever the man was about to go to a concert.
