VIOLENS

Intent of Arrival (1)

...

In the morning, at 06:30

"Maidan's.."

I said trying to wake up Aidan who was still asleep. I remember when Aidan gave me his warmth last night. I'm still waiting for the truth behind Aidan's entire explanation. My hand rubbed his face slowly, while looking at his face up close.

"Aidan. wake up.."

I said slowly, slightly shaking his shoulders. Aidan woke up right then, his still-loving eyes staring at me. I smiled at him and he sat down and leaned his head against the wall while looking at my face.

"Good morning.."

I said to him kindly and smiled. He returned my smile and his hand pulled my body down into his arms. I was very surprised by his sudden injury. Aidan hugged me even more tightly as I tried to let go of his wound.

"I don't want to lose you again."

He said slowly while stroking my hair smooth.

I tried to calm my sudden heartbeat that was pounding irregularly. I understand if Aidan thinks I'm still the same one he told me last night, I'm his life partner. I hugged Aidan back and patted his back softly as he said,

"I'm here Aidan.."

Aidan nodded and let go of his injuries towards me.

"You want to eat? I woke up early and made breakfast."

Ask her. He nodded in agreement and followed me into the kitchen. I'm happy, Aidan who I always remember as a rebellious student, naughty, annoying friend, is currently being soft on me.

He pulled a chair for me. I smiled with his friendly attitude. Before long, he also sat opposite me. We ate a breakfast of peanut butter bread I had made before.

"Thank you, you trust me."

Said suddenly.

"Then you have to promise not to lie with all your words.okay?"

Answer her.

"I don't like you being so close to the King."

He said again in a annoyed tone.

I don't understand why he said that. Obviously me and the King were just friends and became familiar. What does Aidan have to regret? their faces are 100% similar%. Ah, true.. Aidan only follows the overall body shape of the King. I looked at him who was eating breakfast.

"You're jealous I'm friends with the King?"

I asked the origin with a still look at him.

Aidan choked on the bread he was chewing, I gave him a glass of water on the table.

"Hey. slowly.."

I said with a small laugh looking at it.

Aidan immediately drank the water I gave him, his eyes glancing at me. I apologize for making him choke.

"I'm really jealous. I was always jealous. You're my eternal partner!"

he said with annoyance. I smiled back at him.

"Aidan.. I've never dated before, how could I have been your eternal partner?"

I obviously got to him on purpose to tease him. It doesn't feel like we've become very familiar since last night's incident.it's really something surprising and unpredictable.

"From now on we're dating. You and me."

I was surprised when he told me that. A date? Knowing your story doesn't mean I agreed to be your partner back Aidan. I tried to clear my mind and change the subject.

"Aidan.. will you go straight home?"

"Why indeed?"

Ask Aidan back to me.

"I'll go to the parlor later. Ah, you don't know if I grew up in a parlour?"

"So. I know, I know."

"The king said that?"

No one knew in High School that I was raised from an orphanage. The king was the only person in the school who knew this.

"Not really, have I been watching you all this time."

Assert Aidan while swallowing the last bite of his sarapa.

"How am I?"

I asked Aidan to be curious.

"Will I have company?"

Aidan turned the conversation and looked at me.

"Don't do it, I want to go there alone."

"Jas. Just go out with her."

I nodded in agreement and left the dining table, rushing towards the room to pick up the bag.

"That! What am I doing here?"

Shouted Aidan to me.

I came out of the room with a red dress and a totebag on my shoulder. I found Aidan holding a pile of plates and our old glass both having breakfast. I smiled at him, took over the plate and the glass and put it in the sink.

"When did you become this beautiful?"

Said suddenly. I who was washing dishes and glasses turned to him sharply, pursing my lips.

"When I have breakfast I'm not pretty?"

Aidan smiled shaking his head. He teased me on purpose, and I found out.

"You're ugly. Until I want to pee dicelana. auhh-"

He eyed me while running to the bathroom.

Aidan became very soft and liked to joke around with me, like a King. Ah right! Raja. I haven't heard from him since the incident in front of the school gate. Tomorrow's Monday, I have to talk to him. I immediately finished the dishwasher and rushed to clean the dining table.

Before long, Aidan came with a big smile on me. I still put on an annoyed face at him because of his ridicule earlier. We leave the house immediately.

"You really don't want company?"

Ask Aidan to make sure.

"really. You go home, the king will wait."

Aidan stopped his steps. I was walking because I was unconscious. When I realized that Aidan was not beside me, I turned back to look at him, who was like a statue looking at me coldly.

"You're doing it, hurry up here!"

My orders with hands waving at him signaled to come quickly.

"Don't want to. You kicked me out.." he replied.

I walked over to Aidan, stood in front of him and looked at his face.

"I told you to go home, not to rile."

I obviously got to Aidan and grabbed his hand. Aidan smiled as I began to hold his hand.

".. ah shit you're getting brave huh?!"

He said with a cynical tone.

"Yes, you are Aidan, the bully guy, rude, ugly and annoying."

I was determined to Aidan who immediately changed the look on his face.

"Hey, I'm disappointed with what you said."

Aidan made me laugh.

We walked to the stop. Aidan deliberately drove me to the stop. We parted ways when the bus I was about to board came. Aidan waved his hand at me as I stared at him from the bus window. I smiled at him.

...

The trip to the orphanage was quite far away, so I had to change buses. This is the second bus that I'm visiting and will soon arrive at the nearest stop to the parlour. The place where I grew up was not so close to the streets. If using the bus, it must walk again about 10 minutes to really get to the parlor.

I turned on my phone and immediately sent a message to Bu Ratih, the old lady of the parlour owner.

The bus stopped when I arrived at the stop I was heading to. I immediately went down the bus and sat down for a while at the stop, waiting for a reply from Mrs Ratih.

Mrs Ratih did not return my message. I decided to go straight to the home. After walking for about 11 minutes, I arrived at the parlor. Greeted by the nannies who were drying clothes. The kids were playing ball together, they looked happy.

"Son Atha?"

Said one of the nannies who suddenly approached me while patting me on the shoulder slowly.

I bow my head in respect to him. He smiled after seeing me. We talked all the way to the office of Mrs Ratih.

When we got to the place we were going, the Nanny named Elly said goodbye to me. I nodded to him and bowed half my body to him.

The door that I had not been able to knock was suddenly opened by the person inside. The man looked at me in wonder. Yes, that person is Mrs Ratih. His age is old, making him forget the faces of the surrounding people plus the number of children who inhabit the orphanage.

I introduced myself by saying my name and bowing half to him. Mrs Ratih told me to go in and sit down on her old couch.

"What's wrong, why did you come all this early."

Ask Bu Ratih curious.

I smiled at him and moved closer to him. I hugged her warm body and subconsciously shed my tears. Mrs Ratih was confused. He rubbed my back and patted it softly.

"It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay."

His words tried to calm me who was still crying.
