Chapter 33
" Who is he, Alden? Who is the woman who has replaced me?" leony asked with teary eyes. He looked at the back of the man he once loved so much that it passed from the sight of the eye.
" His name is Binar. If you think you need to know a lot about her, ask your sister directly, ", Alden replied. He then sped up to the parking lot and immediately left their meeting location that afternoon.
" I thought I was still in your eyes, but what you said was true, things have changed, completely changed even the way you look at me is not the same anymore." Leony rubbed the clear droplets that fell soaked the cheeks.
The meeting that afternoon left nothing but old memories that almost drowned with twilight that afternoon. Both are not fools. God is all about managing the scenario of life, although it feels bitter at first but that is the best way God gives so that people mature and are wiser to interpret every meeting.
Alden felt half the burden of his life was gone. All the disappointment, the resentment that had haunted him for so many years finally evaporated. Alden took a deep breath then exhaled slowly. He leaned back on the headboard of the bed while staring at the wallpaper on his phone screen. Someone seemed to be smiling sweetly on that screen. Alden then moved his fingers to touch the girl's face.
" You really are my opium, just by looking at your photos my mood is getting better" Alden said.
In a separate place, Leony who had just arrived after meeting Alden then accelerated his steps towards Arumi's room. According to a servant, Arumi was heard screaming hysterically several times from inside her room. Leony was really worried about his sister's condition.
" Arumy ! Open the door, honey! This is sister ...!" Shouted Leony from outside the door. He Iantas again knocked on the door repeatedly, hoping that Arumi would be spoken to.
" Arumy! unlock door. This is brother ...," persuaded Leony again. Sepi, Arumi did not respond at all.
Increasingly worried about the condition of his sister, Leony then back knocking on the door increasingly hard, he even called the driver of trust and intend to break down the door if Arumi still did not give a response.
" ARUMI !" Leony shouted again.
Soon, a weak step was heard by someone approaching the door and opening it. Leony Manarik breath of relief. The younger brother stood in front of the door with a pale face and looked very messy. Leony hugged her quickly.
" Please don't be like this .., Brother is so worried about you," said Leony. He then led the figure back into the room and helped her lay down on the bed.
" Have you met him?" ask Arumi.
" It's ...," said Leony.
" Did he change his mind?" ask Arumi quickly. Leony looked at that messy face for a moment, really he felt he could not bear to tell the truth.
" Sister, did Alden change his mind?" ask Arumi again. Leony nodded weakly.
" He refused, Arumi ...," replied Leony weakly.
Arumi was silent for a while, the look on her face looked so pitiful.
" But relax, my sister. Brother will take you to Australia, you will go to school there" Leony said excitedly.
" I don't want to! I just want to go to that school. I want to see Mr. Alden at all times. I don't want to be away from her" Arumi replied.
" Arumi .., please don't be childish like this. He already rejected you ..., He doesn't love you at all!" lang Leony's. Arumi looked at her brother's face and smiled.
" Then make him love me, brother? Do something to make her sympathize with me" Arumi pinta.
" Gosh !" Leony sighed, completely incredulous at what he had just heard.
" Sister, do something ..., so that he changes his mind," whispered Arumi later.
" No, Arumi! Don't be silly ..., I've been begging him all day and don't ask me to do anything low!" reject Leony.
" Sister .., I'm really in love with her. All day I did not eat but I felt full just by looking at the photos," Arumi then smiled while staring at the screen of her phone.
" Oh, please ... Arumid. Don'tcrazy. You'll get sick if this keeps up ...,"
" I don't care, brother! If he still rejects me then I will make no one who can have it" said Arumi.
" Stupid! You're a fool, Arumi! The more you do something stupid, the more Alden hates you!" Salt leony.
" Sister said I was stupid? I'm in love with her, brother. I'm fighting for my feelings!" shouted Arumi.
" I've also been in love with her but I'm not stupid like you! Stop begging for love! That's embarrassing!" Leony shouted back.
" Right, Brother?" ask Arumi again.
" Yes, that's right. Alden and I were lovers once. Our relationship ran aground when I decided to marry someone else" Leony said sadly.
Arumi sighed. I think he wants to scream hard. Really, the story of the brother makes it like a dream. How could he and his brother fall in love with the same man?
" Then I asked the wrong person for help."
" What do you mean, Arumi?" Leony stared.
" I mean it could be that brother is secretly still putting his heart on her" Arumi guessed. Leony then rounded up the two neutrals.
" It's obviously impossible, I'm a married woman and that's impossible, Arumi!" Leony looked at his sister with a puzzled look. He did not expect that his sister could act so outrageously.
" Please get out of my room, then" pinta Arumi, Leony then moved away. It feels really free to advise a stone-headed teenager like Arumi.
" Is Miss Arumi okay?" asked a servant who was standing not too far from the door when he saw Leony who had just come out.
" He's fine. Prepare dinner for him and just put it in his room." reply Leony short. Talking to Arumi made her mood even worse. What a pesky for him, all day he had to be faced with two stone-headed people who did not want to be advised. It feels like his return to Indonesia is in vain. Meeting Alden, made him get carried away again in the memories of the past and it was very painful. As for Arumi, the older she got, the more spoiled and childish she became. It was really emotionally draining to face those two people.

The barely-asleep sparkle was startled by the loud ringing of his cell phone. He regained his senses for a moment, grabbed the flat object and looked at the screen with a glare. A name is on the screen. He then touched the screen of his phone for a moment and before long a video call was connected.
" Hello ..," Binar looked at the smiling figure on his phone screen.
" Hello too, are you asleep?" ask Alden.
" Just slept, actually woke up because of the phone ringing. Is there any need for you to call me at night?" ask Binar.
The person on the other side seemed to be smiling.
" I miss ...," said Alden. Sembual.
" We just met this afternoon, Mr. Alden. Why do you miss?" reply Binar.
" Yes .. but I'll miss you." Alden replied.
Binar smiled as he stared fixedly at the piyama navy figure.
" INTERNET .... WHO MISSED IT?" Ms. Widia shouted from her room next to Binar's room.
" Nobody, Mom!" sahut Binar's. He then hid his phone under a pillow after turning off the video call first.
" How dare he turn off a video call from me!" Alden grumbling. Put that flat object right next to his pillow. Alden then pulled the blanket, drowning half of his body in a hairy cloth that made his body warmer. Although not as warm as when he hugged Binar but at least for now only a thick blanket that can accompany him to sleep.
Just about to fall asleep, the ringing of the phone beside his pillow made Alden jumped. He pinched the temple for a moment, his head instantly pulsing, responding to the action taken suddenly. He touched his left side and then grabbed the flat object. A call came in from the Secretary. He raised that call. A little confused by the figure who suddenly called at night, maybe there was something very important that made the figure had to contact him these nights.
" Hello, Mr. Han ..," Alden put the flat object in his ear.
" Sir, there is less bad news ...," said the figure sluggishly from across the phone.
" Say, Mr Han?" Alden seemed prepared to hear the news that his Secretary would soon deliver.
" Just now, Ms. Leony has informed me that Arumi has been taken to hospital" the Secretary said.
" He's sick?" ask Alden.
" No, Mister. Arumi tried to kill herself by slashing her own wrist!"
" God! This kid is really!" Alden hissing. He almost threw his phone against the wall.
" Why the hell are these sisters always bothering me!" gerutu Alden then.
