A young woman was in the room by her body The woman in her mid-twenties was venting her frustration at all the tools she was using quickly.
No matter that sweat had flooded his entire body, he was still pedaling the treadmill at high speed.
Her tiny lips occasionally cursed a name that has lately always been overshadowing her.
Cussing at an ever-present face flashed in both his dreams and his real world.
Aridha was so upset for no apparent reason. He spills his frustration by exercising.
"Fuck you Alex. When the world reunites us, I swear I will sue you for continuing to shadow me with your fucking face!!"
"Basic jerk!! Who do you think you have stepped on my pride by returning the compensation I have given you for your services? You dare me?"
"Hey basic player. You think with your reputation being so bad it could easily break into my defenses? I will chase you to the end of the world for daring to shadow me!!"
"I will curse you to stone like Malin Kundang, for he has dared to mess up my mind and make me not focus on my work!!"
"Basar Alex ex, savage, hell, bastard!!!.........."
And all kinds of curses came out so smoothly from Aridha's lips.
Enough is enough, Aridha can't take it anymore.
Lately, Alex has always been present in Aridha's shadow. Even during sleep, Alex is often present in Aridha's dreams.
Their meeting some time ago, it turned out to have been able to have a bad impact on Aridha. Aridha did not think, how could he be too carried away after the rejection that Alex did to him.
A foreign emotion slowly began to form. The fine threads in his heart were like they were connected to each other when he remembered Alex's face.
What happened to Rida? I don't know, Aridha doesn't understand.
"What do you think, Rida?".
Jelita tetiba appears. There is as much suspicion over the behavior of this daughter who suddenly grumbled indistinctly.
Sayup-sayup Jelita had caught the voice of his daughter was swearing.
"Nothing, ma".
Ridha immediately lowered the speed of her treadmill, intending to put an end to the venting session of her indecisive anger.
"Don't lie.
Mama who conceived and nurtured you.
Mama knows if you feel fucked up".
"Oh my god, are you going to be a bitch? Don't press me. I don't want to tell you anything right now".
In the end, Jelita sighed resignedly.
Aridha Putri Praja Bekti's.
This child is a reflection of Jelita.
When the face is more dominant inherited Radhi, the papa......
Not so with his nature. The stubbornness and explosive nature when the calm is disturbed.
But she can also behave and look graceful like a princess.
"Who sucks besides my mom?"
"If my emotions have stabilized, I'll tell my mom. But not now."
Ridha pointed out.
"alright. Mama's going down."
Jelita could no longer force her daughter to be frank.
Let it be, Jelita just needs to get some fresh air.
Until the afternoon. Radhi had just arrived from the branch office, checking on some of the business there. Jelita walked into the house.
Upon arriving in the living room, they cross paths with Aridha who has been tidy with her casual appearance.
"Where are you going Ridha?"
Radhi asked with a frown. Not usually Ridha out of the house in the afternoon like this. Something rarely done by this stubborn daughter.
"Get out a minute, pa. Papa just got home?"
Ridha immediately looks at Radhi, struggling spoiled in her papa's burly arms and staying awake.
Jelita shook her head.
It's this big, Ridha is still spoiled when with his papa. Even the children are closer and more open when with Radhi than Jelita.
"Yes. Where are you going to go?".
"Somewhere to meet an old friend. All right, I'll go first".
Ridha passed away without looking at Jelita and Radhi. He did not want his parents to know that he had lied this time.
*****
In a simple rented house, Daniel and Alex are counting the money that Daniel disbursed from one of the private banks. Money became his savings.
Alex also cashed out his savings.
His cruel life in the capital for the lower class people like their current status, makes Alex and Daniel difficult to find a job.
Even not infrequently from those who are reluctant even if they just meet.
So, Daniel decided to use his brother's abilities in the automotive field.
By combining his savings and Alex's remaining savings, Daniel decided to set up a workshop with Alex armed with Alex's ability is quite qualified.
Let it be, Daniel will learn from Alex about automotive science.
"Sorry, good afternoon. Emmm what...do you have Mr Alex?"
Aridha's voice was heard from outside, as a result Alex and Daniel stopped their activities.
"There was. You're the daughter of the Praja Bekti family, aren't you?".
Sundari's voice, Wira Atmadja's wife, sounded soft.
Of course when the name Praja Bekti is called, Alex and Daniel rise up and clear the money that had been counted earlier.
"Yes. I. I'm Aridha. Daughter of the Praja Bekti family. I'm sorry, I was..
I want to see Alex."
"Oh does my son make trouble with you?".
Aridha was stunned when asked about the matter.
But Aridha did come because of a problem, didn't he?
"Yes. And I need to assert something with him".
Sundari's face paled instantly.
"Yes God. Oh well, please come in, miss. But our house, oh no.
This is even more worthy of being called a cottage".
Sundari was depressed at that moment.
Alex has teased the Praja Bekti family by making trouble for his daughter.
Oh my god, what other calamity is going to befall their families?
Sundari confusion.
"What's this about?".
Daniel's baritone voice made Aridha silent. Their faces are equally flat. Not showing any look.
"I have business with him".
"Come in".
Daniel's body moved away and went out. Sitting in an elongated chair in front of the window. Give privacy to two people who are involved in the matter.
Sundari rushed to the kitchen to prepare a drink. Intending to give a treat to the beautiful lady who was visiting her son this time.
Aridha suddenly felt uncomfortable. His heart was beating irregularly. His blood is beating violently. I don't know what he's feeling right now.
Sitting alone with Alex makes Aridha lose control of herself.
"What do you want, miss? Didn't I not cause trouble with you?
I'm not interested in dealing with any woman right now!"
Alex says flat.
"Unfortunately, you've made trouble with me".
Aridha smiled cynically. He desperately endured the turmoil within him.
I don't know what emotions he has right now against Alex. Clearly this emotion is foreign and has never been felt before.
"What problems?".
"Tempo day. When you helped me fix my broken car".
"Aren't I willing to help you?"
"Not that".
"Lantas, are you forcing me to accept money in return? Sorry I'm not interested".
"Not that".
"What lounge?".
"You have to take responsibility for making me sick when your shadow is always present in my brain. You also have to take responsibility because you are always present in my dreams almost every night!".
Sundari had just entered the living room, and Daniel was eavesdropping on their conversation from the window, Terangarah.
So did Alex who was dumbfounded.
"What do I have to account for?
I didn't send you a shadow or anything".
Resolute Alex.
"But I'm bothered with everything, Alex. All my activities and my focus have been disrupted since that afternoon. It was as if you had shifted my entire focus, shifting my world. I want to live a normal life without your shadow!!!!".
