ALDEBY
|15.| Gwenchanna

At exactly 07:14, Beby woke up with a head that felt very heavy. It was like dozens of mountain rocks had hit his head. Beby closed his eyes tightly, trying to shake the whack.

After feeling quite light, Beby who was originally lying down changed the position to sit. The girl was silent for a moment. Watching his clothes are still the same as last night. His memory automatically guessed what had happened.

Beby remembered. Neither his body nor soul were ready to meet the person who was at the Lomera Cafe yesterday. One question has lingered on Beby's head ever since: how did the man get back?

Beby took a deep breath, supplying his originally congested lungs. Then, his hand moved grabbing the phone lying on the nightstand. There are a lot of notifications coming in. Most of his mother. But for some reason, of the many notifications that exist, Beby even expect a notification from people who do not contact him at all.

Today Beby has morning lectures, then the afternoon continued shooting at the FS studio until the afternoon. Anggi has been reminding him since yesterday. Many endorsments came in. Beby can't be a weak person.

No matter how big the storm is within, do not let the storm control and control ourselves.

Recalling that one sentence, Beby got up from the bed, stretched his stiff muscles for a moment, then rushed towards the bathroom. It didn't take long for Beby to finish his morning shower.

Plain white blouse suits and cream color plisket toad pants are Beby's outfit choice today. The girl put a touch of natural make up on her beautiful face. Then, collect her long hair into a bond.

Then, Beby stepped towards her wardrobe. The girl opened the drawer inside there, her hand moved to pick up the neatly stored glass bottle. Beby took a grain, then swallowed it round and round.

In any case, Beby felt a desperate need for the contents in that glass bottle right now.

While carrying a white sling bag containing a mobile phone, wallet, and two ballpoints, Beby stepped towards the door of his room.

Just as the door opened, Miko's figure in a checkered shirt and black jeans greeted Beby. According to the girl, Miko started going to college today.

"Where are you going?" miko asked as she flashed an unusual look at Beby. The 25-year-old man seemed to strip Beby of his body with his bead.

"Lecture," replied Beby casually. "Sunday there's a photo shoot on FS."

"Lo don't want to happen last night?"

"Remember. Why emang?"

"Why did you say?" Miko took a step forward. Staring at Beby with full of wonder as well as intimidation. "After what happened last night, you want to go now?"

"Yes, why, brother? I'm all right."

"Bebys! Lo it was the tiger yesterday!" Pause for a moment. "Now I ask, what makes you so bad yesterday? And why are there lo and Aldef videos that go viral? Then, why are you going home with Kiran? Didn't you leave early in the morning with Aldef? Where are you, boy?"

"Later, yes, he explained. I have morning classes, no."

"Babys!" Miko breathed out loud. Closing his eyes for a moment to neutralize the emotions that made his blood boil. "OKAY. You can go to college and work today. But you're with me. There is no Aldef, Kiran, or whoever is with you except me. Wanna?"

"Ngerti, anyway. But, did you go to college until noon too?"

"That problem, I set it up later."

Instead of continuing to argue with her brother who was certainly reluctant to give up, Beby also followed Miko's steps like a five-year-old boy who walked with his mother.

***

On the way to Pelita University, Beby's eyeballs kept staring blankly at the car window. His head was busy they repeated last night. That man, how could he be there? Shouldn't he be in ....

"BEBY AMANDA'S SKYLA!"

The deafening loud sound was successful in making Beby jump in shock. He looked in annoyance at Miko. "What, anyway, Brother? Don't scream why?!"

"You've been called from earlier not nyahut." Miko glanced at Beby's phone which was on the owner's lap. "No! There's a phone call from mom."

Beby followed Miko's direction of view. And it turned out to be true, his phone vibrated because there was an incoming call from the mother. Beby held his breath for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma."

"Vaalaikumsalam, Baby. Where were you yesterday, anyway? Mama kept thinking about you last night, you know. At midnight when Mama calls, Miko picks up."

Beby's eye bead glanced at Miko, then looked back straight ahead the next two seconds. "Sorry, yes, Ma. I was tired last night. Yesterday was busy all day, so I didn't have time to pick up my phone."

"Certainly? That viral one, really you?"

Beby turned his head back towards Miko who was also looking at him. "Uuummm .. Yes, Ma."

"He who? Your boyfriend? Have you broken up with Arka?"

Carcass. Once the name was called, but able to clog the respiratory tract Beby.

"No, Ma. Just friends."

"But you're okay, right? In the video, your friend is nolongin because you drowned, huh?"

A smile rose on Beby's lips. "Gwenchanna. You don't have to worry, yeah." (Nothing)

"Jinjja? Do you need my mom to go there?" (Seriously?)

"No, Ma. Anyway, here, right, there's Miko."

There was a sigh of relief across there. "Yes, that's it. Take good care of yourself, yes. Say hello to Miko. If there's anything, just tell Mama."

"Yes, Ma."

"Oh, yes, By. One more."

"Why, Ma?"

"Don't forget to say thank you to your friend. If he doesn't help you, you might be okay."

Beby was silent for a moment. Initially, Beby thought Maya would show the same reaction as him after watching the video. But apparently, Beby was wrong.

"Yes, Ma. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

"Why?"

The short question from Miko was successfully dragging Beby from the daydream.

"No why."

Beby's red car finally blends with a row of other cars owned by students and Pelita University students.

Before getting out of the car, Miko said, "Let's go to college until the afternoon. If you want to work, you can take this car. But if not, you wait for me to finish class, then we go home."

Beby looked at Miko. A sweet smile fell on Beby's lips. "Gue can go alone. Don't worry, brother. I'm fine."

Miko nodded. "OKAY. Later lo sharelock where lo work. Finish class, I'll pick you up."

"No need—"

"No need to argue. Just follow."

The girl beside Miko pursed her lips, annoyed with the protective attitude of the older sister. However, no doubt eventually Beby complied as well. "Yes." Yeah."

Everyone was gathering at the dining table for breakfast when Aldef who had just woken up came out of the room.

"Eh. Mama's daughter is awake, "welcome Fitri when she sees Aldef walking towards the dining table.

"Prince, sleep well?" This time it was the Princess who commented in a cynical tone.

Aldef glanced at his mother and stepbrother lazily. His hand pulled the chair beside the Princess and sat there.

"Aldef, I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you?" If the warm greeting is sourced from a middle-aged man in front of Aldef: Farhan.

"Alhamdulillah, well, Om," Aldef replied, throwing a friendly smile at Farhan. "Om yourself how are you?"

"Alhamdulillah, good too." Farhan also threw a smile that is no less friendly to children.

"Lo clock just woke up, not college?" ask Princess. The four of them are enjoying their breakfast.

Aldef shakes. "Today, anyway, free."

"Keep, you have no intention of going back to the apartment?"

The question then made both eyebrows linked Aldef. "Lo ngusir me?"

"Yes" replied the Princess without hesitation.

"Daughter, don't be with her sister" Farhan said.

"No! Horror!" Aldef did not want to lose.

Seeing the debate at the dinner table this morning, Fitri laughed crisply. That made three pairs of eyes there and then set their eyes on him.

"Why, Ma?" ask Aldef.

"It's okay. Mama is just a twilight. Usually, there is never a debate at this dinner table early in the morning. It's really good today papa and the Princess left not too early."

Aldef threw a sweet smile at the mother. "I'm gonna eat my mama some breakfast next time, yeah."

"Not bother. There I'm the same papa," said the Princess.

"Daughter!"

The girl in white clothes typical of the nurse smiled smirkily towards the father. "Yes, Pa. Sorry."

The breakfast ended with Farhan and Putri leaving for work. Aldef walked out of his place. The man intends to take a shower.

After leaving home with Fitri, Aldef hurried to leave his parents' house. On the way, Aldef thought of calling someone.

"Callo, Ri? Beby have a photo shoot today?"

"There was. One o'clock in the afternoon."

"Thank's."

Aldef's smile broke as soon as the short phone call ended. He was getting more and more impatient to get to the destination. Although the time still shows at 09.45.

Last night, Aldef had pondered everything. The man had also made up his mind as to how he should behave to Beby next.

***

As per the agreement, Beby drove his car to the FS studio after college. Arriving at the destination, Beby sent a share location to Miko's WhatsApp number.

Today, Beby did not discover Aldef's whereabouts on campus. Indeed, usually Beby would see the man in the cafeteria. Remembering the end of the class Beby directly gas into FS, no wonder if his eyeballs did not find Aldef figure.

Just getting out of the car, Beby's steps were blocked by two pairs of legs. The girl looked up slowly. His jaw hardened when he saw who owned the legs that block it.

"What do you want?"
