Aesira Destiny
Part 9's
Aesira's mind could not be far from the events that befell her. He tried to find answers to each of these strange problems but, did not meet a common point. The girl tightly shut her mouth but, her mind churned violently.
Rui who was uncomfortable with the quiet atmosphere, and saw Aesira who did not behave usually pulled Aesira's hand when carelessly about to cross without seeing the traffic light that was still red.
“What are you thinking?!” snapped Rui.
Rigidly vibrating after surviving a series of cars that drove, Aesira replied,”Ma-maaf.”
After saying goodbye to Rui, Aesira tightened her jacket. He was shocked because the electricity in the entire residential area was out. Take your phone and turn on flashlight mode. He opened the door, put his shoes next to the flower pot.
“Mother I'm home!” aesira shouted that echoed up to the second floor.
Bruk!
Aesira thought it was her mother's voice in the kitchen. The light from her phone was quite helpful for her to walk in that direction.
“What are you doing? Is the home flashlight gone again?”
Silent. There's no answer.
“Mom doesn't have to bother cooking. I was in a friend's treat and still full,” said Aesira while stepping slowly.
As he pointed his cell phone flashlight slightly up. A man pointed a gun down making her stunned. Moreover, the gun precisely pointed to his mother who was sitting helplessly on the floor by holding back fear.
“I-mom?” said Aesira with trembling lips. His eyes were bright, the phone in his hand just fell.
“Run, Ae! Run!!!” mother shouted, however, he was instead in droves with a bullet that shot into his head.
Aesira's breath was choked, she immediately grabbed her phone and ran away from home.
He screamed for help but, no one came out to help him. He keeps running away from an unknown person who killed his mother. With a cry, he moved away from the housing. His leg was injured because it didn't matter. But, he had to stay alive, he had to keep running like what his mother told him to. Live to see clearly the mastermind behind his mother's murder and deliver a fair punishment.
Aesira's head turned back quickly. That guy disappeared from there. He took a slow breath to gather his depleted energy.
The shadow of someone on the moonlit street made Aesira straighten up. From a distance, the man in the black hat approached. He quickly turned and fled. But this moment he lost. One tin arrow pierced through her back, the body of the girl in the High School uniform staggered forward. In the remnants of his consciousness, he saw the assassin saying something that faintly disappeared as his eyes closed.
...----------------...
Sitting in a wheelchair, Aesira cries in front of a picture of her mother decorated with flowers and candles. The girl was in a coma for two weeks and had to feel the bitterness after waking up. He lost the only protective wing he had in the world. Now, he's an orphan. Aesira felt her life was meaningless, she seemed unable to continue her next life. Everything seems bitter.
“The news of the robbery at your house has been published. The man will get his sentence in prison,” Rui said. He pushed Aesira to the balcony of the house.
“I'm not okay. Can you let me in here?”
Alone in the middle of the sound of wind chimes that run in unison. The girl, trying to clear her positive thoughts. He absorbed all the spirit he had to revive. His mother would be sad up there if he gave up. Didn't he promise to graduate with the best grades.
“What if later mom is no longer by your side? You have to be able to master all things so that you can live your life easily. Therefore, learn from now.”
“This is not easy mom, business and household affairs are very complicated if done simultaneously. Would I be able, if I had to go on with our cake shop and be a mom like you?”
Sophia stroked her daughter's hair.
“Can! You certainly can, because you're mom's son.”
The back of Aesira's hand rubbed water on the corner of her eye.
“Yes! Because I'm a mother's son, so I have to get through this! I have to learn many things, especially learn to mengikhlaskan.”
...----------------...
During the semester break, Aesira learns to make all the cakes sold in the store. He really understands the recipe of his mother's relics are written neatly in a book. Aided by Rui, he painstakingly twisted the dough that began to expand.
“Not bad, maybe less sweet just a little,” comments Rui.
“You're right.”
They devoured the half-warm cake while accompanied by a glass of hot chocolate.
“Rui! Come down, we're leaving.” The two glanced down, right there was Rui's father.
“I'll be home tonight. But, I will keep calling you.” Rui pulled the tissue and wiped the area of her lips.
“You want to drop what?” bargained for.
“Anything,” replied Aesira.
“Okey. See you, Ae!” The girl ran until, a minute later, she was already downstairs.
“Ae! Take care of yourself!” turn Rui's father over to her, while Rui's mother throws a warm smile.
“Siap, Uncle! Enjoy your vacation time!” aesira from above.
Sepi, now an eternal friend of Aesira. He cleaned the cake and the two empty glasses and took them to the kitchen. On the steps, his feet stopped as he stared at the place where his mother had been so tragically killed. The sound of gunfire was also his mother's face when it was still thick scattered in his memory.
He put the tray in listless. Then, the phone rang him up.
“Good, there will deliver.”
Two jars of pastries he arranged in an exclusive box with the logo of his mother's cake shop. This is the first order after the store closes for three weeks.
He took a taxi and told the driver where he was going.
“Thank you for ordering in our store. I excuse.”
“Please.”
He keeps his money in his sling bag. In the middle of the road, he accidentally passed Kay who was sitting pensively on the sidewalk. In fact, the man was the son of a famous conglomerate in the city, but it was brave to sit on such a dusty pavement.
Aesira was sitting next to Kay. The man turned his head when he realized that someone was sitting next to him.
“Think of something disturbing?”
Kay straightened her back.
“No. Just tired of life. A short break is okay, right?”
Aesira smiles. He straightened his legs.
“I once promised to buy you and Rui back. Rui is on vacation with her parents. What if I buy au first?” Actually, Aesira was just trying to cheer up the man. From the news he heard, Kay's life with his family is not good. Kay's parents continued to force the boy to be on the perfect level on all sides of the school. Kay did that, and was at the highest level of organization, becoming a sports captain, class president, and class champion.
“Save your money for school tomorrow,” Kay replied.
“Still enough. But sorry, I can't take you out to a fancy restaurant.”
Suddenly Kay pulls Aesira's hand which makes the girl shocked. “Where are we going?”
Kay turned. “You say, you want to treat me.”
Aesira turned enthusiastic, she walked the space next to Kay. And ... his heart rippled.
