Chapter 30
The presence of Leony back in Alden's life certainly disturbed the side of Alden's destruction that had just healed. Wh-wh-what for? Surely Alden himself doesn't know. It's just that according to the estimation of the Secretary Leony's presence this time has something to do with Alden's decision which turned out to have to remove Arumi from school. Alden still asks until now, Is Arumi really the sister of the ex-lover? If true, why does he not know the slightest about the figure of Arumi even though he had a loving relationship with Leony for up to five years? How important was it in that woman's life? Uh. This is the past. The past suddenly came to the surface for no reason. Like when he broke up with no reason! For this reason, Alden will welcome his presence with open arms.
" Hey, welcome to the past!"
" It's been almost 1 hour Miss Leony waited, Mr ...," The Secretary just hung up the phone after getting news about the whereabouts of Leony who was still in the waiting room despite being kicked out many times.
" Let it! Make him wait as long as possible! Let him know what it's like to wait!" Alden stood firm. Look at the clear sky from behind that glass wall. The Secretary nodded and then returned to finish his work which was delayed.
Although it has run aground but there are many explanations that still hang and it will certainly disturb Alden's curiosity. Why did Leony leave Alden? That question is no longer important. With or without reason, it will not change any reality. So Alden felt there was no need to question it even though he felt very curious.
" Leony, what are you coming for? You're just getting worse!" Alden took a long breath. Really tired of the problems that have really seized his heart and mind these days.
" Mister, it's lunch time. Shouldn't you eat first?" The secretary tapped the watch on his left arm.
" I'll have lunch at home" the figure said. Alden then left and the Secretary followed when the CEO decided to go home early.
The two then entered the elevator to the ground floor. Actually there is a sense of pride in Alden's heart, especially if it turns out to have to cross paths with Leony who is likely still waiting in the waiting room. But anyway, he still has to go home even though the shadow of the past is present again after a long time disappeared. And one more thing that made Alden feel he should not avoid this meeting, he and Leony was long over. Their love is over and each has taken a different path. It was a choice and both of them had completely set their own pace. The Leony who came today was none other than the wife of someone else and was not a part of her life anymore.
Arriving at the ground floor, Alden then rushed to the parking lot. It slightly ignored the greetings from the employees who were passing by him that afternoon.
" Modore ...!"
A cry sounded with a fairly firm tone. Alden slowed down. Someone up ahead made both of his neters stare straight without blinking. That voice, the voice of the woman he was so familiar with.
" Old ...,"
The figure then stepped foot faster towards him. Alden looked at the woman in a white bone dress with a black outfit.
Both of them then both stopped with a distance of only two meters. The Secretary who was on the right side of Alden then withdrew up to several steps.
Two people who used to be lovers were both sculpting. Confused about where to start the conversation.
" How are you?" Leony broke the silence by asking the news of the figure of the man who had once filled his heart.
" Better than before" replied Alden. He then looked at the figure from the tip of the hair to the end of the high hell that Leony was wearing. There are many changes in the woman. Especially on the stomach, it looks like Leony is pregnant. Alden put on an indifferent face even though he could not hide his curiosity.
" You've changed a lot, Alden," said Leony, with a smile that was still the same as it used to be.
" Everyone is bound to change" Alden said short. Both then go hand in hand.
" Yes, you're right. Everyone will change in the end, just like I did. Soon I will be a mother." said Leony while stroking her slightly enlarged stomach with a fetus estimated to be 4 months old. Alden didn't say. He hastened his footsteps.
" Alden!" Leony called again.
Alden stopped his steps again as Leony called out to him quite loudly again. He took a deep breath and pinched his temple for a moment.
" May ..." Leony approached Alden who was just a few steps ahead of him.
" Alden, there's something I want to talk about" Leony said later.
Alden breathed again.
" What exactly are you talking about? I don't have time to talk about the news, let alone about your pregnancy!" ketus Alden's.
" Alden .., I know you're trying to avoid our meeting. But really, I'm meeting you today to discuss something important" Leony said, but Alden didn't seem to want to know.
" Say!" Alden staring.
" Alden, aren't we talking about this somewhere?" pinta Leony's. Alden grunted, annoyed.
" I'm sorry, I don't have time!" sahut Alden short. He then stepped back to the car because the Secretary had been waiting since.
" Alden !" Leony called out despite the figure he was calling out getting further and further away from the reach of the eyes.
" Alden, wait for me! Let's talk!" yell Leony again. He still tried to pursue the ex-lover even though the figure had now entered the car.
" Road, Mr. Han!" pinta Alden fast. The Secretary did not have the heart to see Leony who was chasing them with a young pregnant condition. As a grown man, it was a very sad and very unsightly sight. Their love story is over and both should be able to act more professionally and not involve long grudges.
" Road, Mr. Han!" alden's orders again.
" Mister ...," The Secretary looked doubtful.
" Mister ..., wouldn't you give Miss Leony time to talk?"
" Speaking what? talking about her pregnancy? She disappeared for many years and came up with her big belly showing off and said proudly that she was soon going to be a mother??" Alden clenched his right hand. Almost hit the car glass.
The Secretary was silent.
" What's he coming for! What's for?" Alden scooped a rough face.
Leony who was still trying to catch up with Alden then stopped for a moment, he bent both hands on the knee. His breath was a little shaky. Before long he felt his stomach suddenly cramp.
" Oh, why is this .." - Leony said, holding his stomach in reaction.
Alden and the Secretary stared from a distance.
" Mister ..., it looks like Miss Leony is having a problem,"
" It's none of my business!" sahut Alden ketus.
" Young Master, be generous a little, Miss Leony is pregnant" the Secretary said. Alden then grunted.
" I'm not the one who's impregnating her!"
" Mister ..."
" Run the way!" Alden shouted again. Ah, what a chatty and very emotional Young Master.
" Mister, look everyone is staring at us. At least do a good image in front of your employees" whispered the Secretary later. He pointed at the employees who were staring at the car and some even started whispering. Indeed, the Secretary did not want if the Young Master was again hit by unpleasant rumors like the one that had just happened.
" ck ! Imaging says! Why am I so merciful to that witch? It's a waste of time!" Alden is back. Being carried with him by emotions eliminates his adult attitude.
" Mister .., this time." The Secretary pleaded and Alden reluctantly allowed Mr. Handika to take Leony in the car they were riding in.
" How are you doing now? Does it still hurt?" ask The Secretary.
" I'm fine. It's just a regular cramp, knowing this is my first pregnancy" Leony said. Alden snorted again, deeply hating the conversation.
" Miss alone?" ask The Secretary.
" I was driven by a driver but let him take my car later" replied Leony softly.
" Just be hard!" lirih Alden while playing his favorite flat object.
Leony did not respond just that he was a little surprised by the change in attitude of the ex-lover. In the past, he was a very gentle and loving figure. Leony remembers well that Alden used to be willing to look after him all night just because he had migraines. Now, it feels like Leony is seeing the same person but with a character that is inversely proportional. Everything has really changed.
" I'm sorry if it troubles you ...," Leony later said. Alden silent a thousand languages. Now the figure is actually busy playing games on the flat object.
" Alden, let's talk. There were many things I wanted to say," Leony stared at the back of the figure who looked indifferent and did not want to know.
" Alde ...," Leony did not give up and still tried to melt the heart of a figure who was different from a hunk of ice. Cold and unmerciful.
" What exactly are you talking about? Speak now!" sahut Alden ketus. He then turned off his phone and played music quite loudly.
" You must have known about the purpose of my sudden arrival." Leony was really hard looking for a crack on the frozen side of the figure.
" I don't know!" sahut Alden ketus.
" I came all the way from Australia to Indonesia for my little sister. Last night, he called me in tears.he said he was going to be kicked out of school with disrespect" Leony said later. Alden then pulled the corner of his lips, revealing a haughty smile as if satisfied to have won something.
" then?" ask Alden.
" Alden, I'm sure you've guessed the end of this conversation. Please, don't be like this ...," Leony said. Highlight his eyes glazed over as he faced Alden's cold demeanor and it was extremely frightening to him.
" You have a sister? What's name?" ask Alden casually.
" Alden .., you must know, '" Leony seemed hard to come clean.
" I asked her what her name was!!" Alden snaps. His high tone of voice surprised the Secretary who was driving. Surprised, the man stepped on the brake suddenly.
" Ice! Drive it right!" Alden came back grumbling and blabbering incessantly.
' Truly sensitive is even more sensitive than the woman on the moon, ops!' The secretary almost laughed.
