WOUND CURTAIN

Twelve

Aldi who had just walked out of his room was shocked by David who was standing in front of the door of his room.

"Vid, Tumben Lo here did not understand me" said Aldi basa stale. Actually Aldi was surprised by the look on David's face that seemed to be not okay. The look on David's face that Aldi league like a lot of burden that wants to be spilled.

"Can we talk?" David asked, trying to be calm. Actually David's goal is to ask Aldi to be willing to pay a little attention to Lea's own biological daughter. Because David knows what Lea needs most now are her parents.

Aldi nodded allowing David to enter his room. Not to forget Aldi also asked one of his employees to make coffee for him and David.

"What's Vid?" Ask Aldi after sitting down with Aldi.

"Lo love Lea, Lo's son?" David asked back.

"That's what you really asked me. The answer is Vid. She's my only daughter" Aldi replied in unison. According to Aldi, David's question was very strange.

"She's never been sick with Lo?" David asked again regardless of the naughtiness of Aldi.

Aldi thought for a moment until he remembered Lea's complaint last night.

"Eh yes there is. Last night he complained to me that he was sick, but I told him to take medicine" Aldi replied with a rest.

"Lea is now in the hospital. I took him to the hospital because he passed out. There I lived with him with my son. I saranin Lo go look at Lo's son. Kasian he might miss Lo" explained David.

David only suggested it because it is in the present Lea really needs the support of his family. There will be no child who does not need his parents when he is on the brink of death.

Aldi was surprised not to play. Because he thought Lea was just an ordinary fever but in fact it was as severe as that to get into the hospital. There was actually a bit of guilt in Aldi's heart for ignoring Lea who was complaining to him for work reasons. Lea remains Aldi's only daughter. Therefore, if Aldi hears bad news about Lea, he will certainly feel a little failed to be a father.

"He's sick what's Vid?" Ask Aldi to worry.

Lea made him promise not to say anything about his illness to anyone. Although it feels like David really wants to say all the facts but for Lea's sake he has to lie. Lea's sad face was always a shadow in David's mind where Lea was in pain and she faced it alone with no one by her side.

"Thank God, I thought he was sick. I'll be there tomorrow. I can't if I have to go there now because there are still children Lo. I don't want anything about Lea's identity to be exposed" explained Aldi.

"It's up to Lo, Al. For sure I want Lo to go there looking at Lo's own daughter. I just don't want to later Lo too sorry because no attention at all to the child Lo. We never know what will happen next. Don't be the first wound for Lo's son, Al. Because it would be imprinted might even lead to a crisis of confidence for Lea. He's Lo's son, no matter how he is present, won't deny if he's Lo's own flesh and blood" David told Aldi.

Actually David just does not want if his best friend get the biggest regret for never paying attention to his only daughter puppet.

"Gue loves him enough, Vid. I have met all his needs. I also have asked my son to take care of him" said Aldi still not aware of his mistake.

"Do you think Lea just needs your money? Lea it needs Lo not Lo's boy. He needs a father figure who always wants to be horrified grievance is not that can only suffice him financially doang" explained David who does not understand the way his friend's mind.

"Lea's not a kid anymore which I always have to keep Vid. Anton also gives enough affection for Lea. So there is no way Lea lacks affection" said Aldi who is still selfish with his thoughts.

David shook his head in disbelief. Friends who used to always uphold the values of truth are now bastards who even reject the truth.

"Lo crazy Al. Either way Lea, whatever the adult Lea, she still needs affection from Lo. Lo her real father is not Anton. Lo made the mistake of playing back with Livia who in fact was the wife of someone else. Lo who had made Lea present into his own flesh and blood Lo. Lo is supposed to teach the meaning of love with Lea but what, Lo instead teaches about the biggest wound for him. Want anyone whatever other people like Lea, just love her biological parents that she needs the most. Don't be selfish Al" David upset.

"Vid, I love my son. I accept her presence in the middle of my family. I tried to persuade Fian's son to love Leah because Leah was his little sister. What else do I have to do?" Ask Aldi frustrated.

Aldi was completely unaware of his mistake. The time Aldi spent working and rarely had time for Lea was his fault. Even Aldi never once noticed how Lea developed. Aldi never tried to listen to Leah's complaint, it was his fault. But in fact Aldi's thinking has not been open. The selfishness that what he did was right was still lodged in his mind and heart.

"Gue just wants Lo luangin time to just joke with Lea. You try to make Lea open with Lo. And I'm sure when Lea opens up about anything, Lo must be the most regretful person in life. He needs Lo, he needs Lo's ears to hear all the stories in every day, he needs Lo's shoulders to rest his body for a moment. I beg you Lo, please make yourself a home for Lea to come home and rest her body. He needs Lo, desperately needs Lo" advises David who is still trying to figure out how to open Aldi's closed eyes to the selfishness of his heart.

Aldi was pensive after hearing David's words. It is true if Aldi is only sufficient Lea in terms of financial. Aldi doesn't even know what Lea likes and he doesn't know what Lea dislikes most. But once again Aldi's selfishness remains the winner. Could it be that if Lea went Aldi would realize all that she had been missing during her lifetime?
