ALDEBY
|27.| Always Be There

"What are you keeping this for?"

Beby who was originally lying down suddenly sat stiffly with bulging eyes. "I-i-it ...."

Miko's approaching. Eating the remaining distance between himself and Beby. His eyes stared at Beby inside. "So—" Miko sighed heavily. In fact, to say it he could not. His hand held up the glass bottle he had found in Beby's closet parallel to his face. "So, you've been taking this fucking drug all this time?"

Miko's tone did not go up in the least. The man still spoke softly. However, it is precisely that thing that makes the feathers of Beby bristling. Miko's gaze was unable to hide the anger within her.

"My answer, By."

No longer able to ward off the sharp eyes of Miko, Beby lowered his head. The girl nodded in fear.

"Why?" ask Miko. "Why are you still drinking this? Why, By?! Answer!"

Miko pulled Beby's chin, making the teary eyes of the girl be forced to look at him. "Gue .. I ...."

Feeling that she will not get an explanation from Beby, Miko took off her touch on her chin. The man reached for his cell phone, about to call someone.

"What's the fuck you want?" ask Beby in panic. However, Miko did not intend to answer Beby's question. "Sister! What do you want?!"

"Call Nita."

"No. Don't." Don't."

"Hallo—"

Not one word escaped from Miko's lips, Beby suddenly stood up and answered her phone. "Don't doctor Nita. If until Nita's doctor finds out, she must have told my mom or dad as my guardian. I don't want them to worry, brother. Please!"

Miko breathed a heavy sigh. The man looked away for a moment, then looked back at Beby a second later. "Fines. Origin on one condition."

"What?"

"Gue wants to stop being a model."

"Huh?" Beby gaped wide. "meaning? Stop being a model? You told me to resign from the FS Agency, brother?"

"Yes. I want you out of the FS Agency. I want to focus on college."

"No, dong, brother!"

"Why? Why not?"

"Gue wants a project with Fahri."

"Catalin!"

"Sister!" A heavy sigh escaped from Beby's respiratory tract. He really did not expect Miko would demand this. "Lo inget, right, what makes me recover from depression? Inget, right? Or do I need to ingetin? Lecture, modeling, endors, and ... Arka's."

"But, By. You know, right, if Fara's Fahri's twin sister? The son of the FS Agency owner!"

"Keep why?" challenge Beby. "Why if Fara exists? Why should I avoid? Why should I run away, again? Wh why? I'm tired, brother!" The entire emotion within Beby collapsed in the form of tears.

"But, By ... Zidan's. He's there, By! He's out there!"

"Fuck Zidan." Beby throws Miko's phone right in the man's chest. Fortunately, Miko caught him. If not, the flat object can be ascertained misfortune of his fate. "Gue wants to sleep."

"By—"

"NO DEBATE! KECOT!"

The girl lay on the bed. Her eyeballs stared straight at Miko's bead. "If you still hope I leave the FS Agency, mending now you sleep. Look at all that in the dream!"

Along his steps down the hospital corridor, Aldef's head unceasingly reworked the interaction between Beby and the Princess. As hard as Aldef tried, however deep he searched, Aldef still did not find the reason the two women were hostile to each other. The only way for Aldef to find the answers to all the questions in his mind is Princess.

"SISTER PUT!" Aldef shouted his brother's name just before the Princess disappeared at the end of the corridor crossing.

Hearing her name called, the Princess stopped stepping and turned back. Both of his eyes narrowed suspiciously. "There must be a desire" muttered the Princess. Remembering Aldef called him with the frills of 'Sister'.

Aldef ran over to his brother. "Gue's gonna talk, okay?"

The princess breathed for a moment. It had been from the beginning that he had suspected that Aldef would react thus. "OKAY. We're talking in the park."

***

"Yes. Do you know each other?"

The princess breathed a heavy sigh. To be honest, he did not want to break his promise to Arka. But if this is the case, the only way is to tell as much detail as possible to Aldef. "Yes." Yeah."

Aldef looked in wonder at the older brother. "Kok, can?"

The Princess's eye bead looked at Aldef's afterimages. "Gue will tell everything. Don't worry until I'm done."

Thus, Aldef nodded.

"Huf! The huft! The huft! Huft!"

Beby woke up with a gasp of breath. Even cold sweat had soaked his temples. That dream. The nightmare is coming again.

The long haired girl got up from the position of the bed. With trembling hands, Beby tried to grab his medicine lying on the nightstand. But alas, the glass bottle fell down before it was in Beby's grasp.

Hearing the sounds of shard and cramming that collide with each other, Miko then woke up. The man jumped off the sofa when he saw his brother trembling. Tears poured down Beby's cheeks, but no sound came out of his mouth. Both of his arms hugged his knees very tightly. Drawing an incredible fear.

Miko picked up the glass bottle that had fallen off. Without him asking any questions, Miko knew what happened to Beby. His hand swiftly grabbed the glass glass filled with mineral water complete with a capsule that was ready to land on Beby's tongue.

More than anyone, Miko was really tormented to see her sister as she is today.

After making sure Beby swallowed the medicine, Miko took the girl into a hug. There was silence for quite a long time. Miko was busy calming Beby by gently rubbing the top of her head. While Beby tried to shake the nightmare in his mind.

Feeling Beby's body no longer trembling, Miko took off her embrace. "It's quiet?" tanyanya gently.

A drop of tears plunged from Beby's sense of sight upon hearing Miko's shady voice greet her eardrums. "Sorry, Brother."

"Sstttt!!!" Miko brought Beby back into her arms. "Lo doesn't have to apologize. Lo's great, By. My beloved brother is the strongest. You can fuck this up. I will always be next to you. Anytime and anywhere. I promise. I'll always try to protect you."

Instead of becoming calmer, Beby's sobs sounded even louder. Both of his arms hugged Miko tightly. Indeed indeed. Since childhood, Miko was the closest to Beby among other families.

"It's okay. Just cry," said Miko. "Crying if it can make you relieved."

Silence once again enveloped the two of them. There was only the occasional sound of Beby's sobs. And after feeling much calmer, Beby took off his embrace.

"Sleep again, huh?" miko asked as she rubbed a trace of tears on Beby's cheek.

Beby nodded slowly. "Temenin me, yes, Brother."

"definitely. I'll always be looking for you."

***

After hearing the story like a romantic novel from the Princess, Aldef immediately went home. Throughout the journey the man daydreamed. He doesn't know what to do now.

One. Only one that Aldef was afraid of: what if Beby found out what was really going on? How did the girl react? What if Beby knew that his love for his ex had never been betrayed?

The sound of the ringing of the phone made Aldef's daydream disappear instantly. His left hand moved to grab the phone on the dashboard of the car. An unknown number was plastered on the phone screen.

"Hello?"

No other voice answered. Aldef kept the phone screen away from the earlobe, ensuring that the phone was still connected. And it is true Aldef's guess.

"Hallo's? Who is this, huh?"

A few seconds of waiting, still no voice answered. Aldef got upset himself.

"If you still don't want to talk, I'm matiin."

"Al." Aldef stiffened at the sound. The voice of someone still neatly stored in a corner of Aldef's heart space. "It's me."
