Evening has rolled until nightfall, when Aul just arrived at the yard of the house. The athletic body belongs to a man standing firmly in the doorway with his arms folded in front of his chest, his jaw was hardened with a sharp eye made it difficult for Aul to gulp his own saliva.

With a very slow step, Aul approached towards him. The smile that was imprinted on his face, looked extremely stiff and Aul was well aware of it. The net is not always memicing suspiciously because Aul just came home from school at eight p.m.

“Inget way home apparently, huh?” mahesa asked skeptically.

Aul hesitated. “Yailah, know. Just go to lo!” Aul laughed blandly to cover up his nervousness.

Mahesa did not also get out of her way, Aul chuckled in annoyance. “Esa, move. I want a break, cape ..”

“Cape streets with child ** it?” mahesa asked in a high voice.

Aul. Although not everything is like that. “Ck, come on, there! I want a break!”

Mahesa laughed deliberately, her laughter sounding bitter but also making Aul feel astonished. “Lo is a very easy woman anyway, Aul..” Mahesa did not even stop her sentence, despite having seen Aul's eyes staring nigh at her. “If Basupati's son continues to gini the same lo, I'm more ship your relationship used to be the same Irlan. You are so wild because the ** child is Aul,” Mahesa explained firmly.

Before this, Mahesa often advised her like a sister to her sister. But all that time, Mahesa never said so harshly to her, not tonight.

“If so, why, huh? You know what the hell!” challenge Aul bravely.

A small grin on Mahesa's face made Aul curl-ketir. He had a bad feeling when he saw the grin.

“It turns out that you are rich ... ” Mahesa leaned her face against Aul's ears. “Mama lo who turns out women are not real.”

Aul's breath hunts down because it holds emotions, while his shoulders go up and down with a flat chest. His hands clenched tightly, ready to throw a fist at Mahesa.

BUGH!

“Agh ..”

Mahesa's moans, Aul let it go. Because he was certain, Mahesa was not a whiny man who would be paralyzed from his small attacks. A man who likes to brawl, to make Aunt Rara overwhelmed by his attitude, must be fine after getting two blows from him that is not much.

Before actually entering his house, Aul caught a glimpse of Mahesa's body behind him. “Lo can speculate anything about me, wrong or right about it.” Aul scooped up as much air as he could, claustrophobic as he continued the sentence that actually cut his heart.

“Stop blaming my Mama for her past. And you should know, if it reminds me of that, it just hurts me a second time.”

Aul hurriedly wiped his flowing tears, before being seen by anyone. He hurriedly walked to his room. I hope this night goes by quickly. Because Aul was tired physically and his heart. Just this time, she felt regret for having told Mahesa— her problem - the person she had believed in since childhood - rather than telling it to the person she had just trusted—Riziq.

Aul threw the backpack at the pile of his backpacks. He dropped his body on the bed with the green leaves. Her face was hidden behind pillows, to soak her broken cries.

The incident happened like a re-description that cut his heart. This is not what he wanted from his family.

The flashback

Aul's focus when at home, not only about a stack of task files that accumulate. He was also very sensitive to the sadness of his parents who had to be separated by distance—long distance relationship— due to the duties of his father's work outside the city.

Even to see Aryan, Aul had to wait for—if—at least one month first, then his father will return home. He did not stay at home for a long time, at most only about a week. That was also the longest.

Once, one morning, where with tears covering around his eyes, Aul had to deliver— with a heavy heart—Aryan's departure in the morning blind.

Aryan rubbed his mane which at that time reached as low as possible. “So a good child yes, don't forget to help Mama. I am proud to have a child like you,” said Aryan who was ended by a brief kiss on his forehead which made his cry sound sad.

“Kok cried anyway, already, Aul. I work also for you and Mama.” Aryan rubbed his tears half Aul nodded obediently.

Aryan slightly conversed with Aura, letting go of the very accumulated feelings. Aul felt how Aryan's affection for Aura was so great, and vice versa. Unknowingly, Aul reviewed a small smile.

Soon after Aryan's departure, Aul noticed a missed call and a short message from his strange initials name, ‘Teman’ online, on Aura's cell phone, she was left in a small closet near her room.
