ALDEBY
|17.| If I'm Serious, How about?

Aldef returned just as Beby finished an untitled poem in his book.

"What book, huh?" aldef asked with an eyeball that pointed at the sky blue-covered book under Beby's palm.

"Obsolutely, personal notebooks."

"Diary book?"

Beby chuckles. "No. I don't like writing diaries."

Aldef was bearded, as if he had just understood something. "Yes, anyway. Lo, don't you, love poetry."

Aldef's words just called out to be confused and curious in Beby. "Huh? You know where it's coming from?"

"Huh?" Either Beby's vision was wrong, or indeed Aldef looked confused and .. panicked? "Oh. That's. Yes, I know! Lo, right, literary child."

Both of Beby's eyes were incessantly staring at Aldef's goal. "That, huh?"

Aldef nodded quickly. This time luck was still on her side, because their order menu that came and made Beby's attention distracted.

"Al," called Beby on the sidelines.

"Hm?"

"Gue's sorry, yeah."

Those four words alone, enough to make Aldef understand where the direction of Beby's conversation. "Gue also apologized. What I did at the time was wrong. I didn't think long at that."

Beby shook his head quickly. "No, not wrong, Al. I should have known your position at the time. I should have understood with good intentions. Anyway, I don't know what my fate would be if there were no lo. Thank's, Al, you've let me."

Aldef smiled broadly. Honestly, the flowers in Aldef's heart suddenly bloomed. Give a warm sensation while refreshing.

"And about your feelings for me ...."

"Uhuk! Uhuk!"

Just now Aldef felt his heart flowery, the sentence that Beby blurted next successfully made the food that Aldef was chewing infiltrate the throat.

"Lo misunderstood" Aldef said after sipping his iced coffee. "That's not what you said yesterday."

One of Beby's eyebrows shot up, indicating that the girl was feeling confused. "Certainly? You mean what?"

"I mean, I love you as a friend." Aldef knew— knew very well—that lying was a despicable act. However, what Aldef is doing right now is not lying, but playing strategy. Take a step back to take a thousand steps forward.

"Oh," Beby muttered softly. "That means I misunderstood, huh?"

Aldef threw a faint smile at Beby. "Yes." Yeah."

"I wish I hadn't misunderstood."

"Huh?"

***

After dinner, Aldef and Beby stepped into the Golden Apartment. Small talk, and joking dime from Aldef became their step accompanist. Like ....

"Gue likes to think sometimes. Why is there only seven days a week? Why not eight? Or all ten, let it fit, you know."

"Yes, where do I know," replied Beby with ogah-ogahan.

"Because it's only fitting that you get into my heart."

"Ih! Jijay!"

Both rattled. Nevertheless, Beby mengedumel in heart. Could Aldef have forgotten Beby once said that he was a father and ... jomlo? Might as well. Maybe Aldef forgot.

The elevator doors in front of Aldef and Beby opened. They let the people who were originally in the elevator to get out first. After no one was inside, Aldef and Beby both stepped inside.

And their conversation continues.

"By, I have a guess."

"What?"

"How much hair?"

Beby's forehead twitched in wonder. "Huh? Yeah, how do I know!"

"Gee! Guess what, dong!"

"Thousand?"

"Wrong."

"Ten thousand?"

"Wrong."

"A hundred ninety-nine five hundred and forty-five?"

"Wrong."

"Yes, how much?!"

"Nerah?"

Beby nodded.

"The number of hairs is infinite."

Aldef's absurd answer made Beby rotate both eyeballs lazily. "The ants also know that time!"

"There's a continuation of it."

Aldef smiled meaningfully. "The number of lo's hairs is infinite, just like my love for lo."

The man beside Beby was stupefied at the end of the sentence. Unlike far away with Beby who tried hard to cover the red hue on his cheek. Although aware that there is nothing serious behind Aldef's speech, but still successfully make a sensation of heat running both surfaces of Beby's cheeks.

"By? How, diem?" aldef asked when he realized that Beby was not laughing with him. "My joke is crisp, huh?"

Beby showed a wide forced smile. "Let's finally be conscious."

Suddenly ....

"Eh, uh! Why, here?"

The gaze of Beby and Aldef then led to the ceiling, where the light source in the narrow room they were on suddenly died.

"Why, huh, Al? Why did the elevator die?" ask Beby in panic.

"Gue also does not know," said Aldef who also felt confused because the elevator suddenly died. "Try me relationship center service, yeah."

Aldef reached into his pants pocket and grabbed a flat object tucked in there. Beby did the same. The difference is, Beby lowbat mobile.

"Hallo. Yes, Sir. This is why the elevator suddenly died, huh? Electricity out or what? This is me in the elevator because" Aldef said shortly after successfully contacting center service.

" .... "

"Oh, that. About how long, sir?"

" .... "

"OKAY. I wait, yeah. Immediately, Sir. Please, yeah. Good. Thank you." Thank you."

Seeing that Aldef had ended the conversation with someone across the street, Beby asked, "Where, Al?"

"For there is a repair. There was a small fire in the apartment unit on the fifteenth floor. That's what makes the electricity deliberately cut out."

"Keep, how are we?"

"Say the man, heck, the fix is fifteen minutes at the earliest."

"for the longest?"

Aldef grimaced, powerless to answer Beby's face. "Cruel."

"WHAT?!"

"Yes, really, relax. Waiting here for an hour won't make us starve to death, will it?"

Beby hissing annoyed. "Died of hunger, no. Dead out of breath. Lo, right, greedy people. Oxygen is not to be shared." The long-haired girl sat in the corner of the elevator floor.

Seeing Beby sitting down, Aldef also took a position beside him. "Who said? Don't share. If it's the same lo, mah, all my breath I also love."

"Lt!" Beby pinched Aldef's earlobe. "It can be a joke in this situation."

Not yet had Beby pulled his hand back, Aldef's palm first grabbed Beby's wrist. The man stared at the girl next to him. Beby was astonished, why did Aldef's eyes twinkle seem so serious?

"If I'm serious, what?"

That one question successfully triggered Beby's crazy heartbeat. Lothawat! It's grim! What if Aldef's eardrum reaches Beby's heartbeat? What if ....

"Hwahaha!" Suddenly, Aldef burst out.

That made Beby shake his head. I was amazed at the behavior of men. "Lo's madman, yeah."

"Joking times, By." Aldef was still trying to ease his laughter. "Seriously very face."

Tired of continuing to respond to Aldef's madness, Beby chose to close his eyes. Enjoying his soul and body which are both afflicted with fatigue. Why would Beby be stuck in an elevator like this?

"By, I'm gonna have a serious word, huh."

At 21:30, Celine had just changed the office girl uniform she had been using since this afternoon. This is the daily life of Celine: the morning became a barista in a cafe not far from her contract, continued during the day to be a courier of a flower shop, then when the sun sank, Celine became an office girl in a company. Sometimes, Celine also helps in the market when the expenditure is a lot.

All of this, Celine did so willingly. Inevitably, like it or forced, Celine had to slam bones from morning to morning to finance her sister's treatment. Not to mention, their daily needs, as well as Poppy education fees. After all, Celine didn't want Poppy to follow in her footsteps who didn't have a steady job.

Every Wednesday and Friday, Celine works during the day. Because he had to accompany Poppy to do blood washing.

"Aastasia Celine?"

Hearing her name called, Celine who was walking out of the company building stopped her steps. The 21-year-old girl then turned her gaze to the source of the voice.

A woman in a dress wrapped on the knee with an eighth arm in black, high heels shoes that length Celine taxir reach 20 centimeters, long wavy hair that is left unraveled, wavy hair, as well as a little make up—very—menor.

"Yes? You looking for me?" celine asked after they faced each other.

"Lo was Celine Anastasia, wasn't she?"

Celine nodded. Although he was still wondering about who this foreign woman before him was. "Yes. What's up, huh?"

"Celine Anastasia." The two female eyeballs in front of Celine looked at her from toe to toe. "Lo's right ex-girlfriend ... Aldef?"
