ALDEBY
|29.| Cannot Be

Before receiving the call, Miko had to go as far as possible from around Beby's nursery if the conversation did not want to be heard. The man eventually chose the toilet as a safe place. After arriving at the destination, Miko then pressed the answer button.

"Hallo's? How's it? Did you get the location?"

" .... "

"OKAY. You keep an eye on it, tuh, asshole. Don't let go. I'll be there soon."

" .... "

"OKAY. Thank's."

Phone disconnected. Miko smiled as she turned her phone around. This time, Miko promised herself that she would not let go. If necessary, Miko willingly dirty her hands so that the life of the jerk man is lost.

"Beby Skyla Amanda, will you be my girlfriend?"

The deg!

Beby's body stiffened instantly. His muscles suddenly stopped functioning. Her heart? Don't ask anymore!

Really am. Beby did not expect that out of the many questions, that deadly question came out of Aldef's mouth.

Beby's hand closed the small black box he had opened, then extended it to Aldef. "Catsau, Al. I can't answer that yet."

"Why?" Both of Aldef's hands took over Beby's hands, grasping them tightly. Making the black box in Beby's grasp come off. "Why can't you? I love you, Sky. I love you the same. I'm sure you have the same feeling, right? I can do that, huh."

"Gue loves you, Al. But to have a more distant relationship lo, I can't yet."

"Why? What reason?"

"Gue's still confused about how I feel, Al. I don't know who's in my heart right now. I don't want to start a relationship with you, while my heart still has someone else. I don't want to be the bad guy you're running away from, Al. I don't think I've fully moved on from Arka."

Aldef let out a heavy sigh. Makes sense. Asalan Beby was indeed very reasonable. But, what if one day Beby finds out about the real Ark? Aldef scared. Very afraid Beby will choose to return to the former.

"Okay" Aldef said after a long silence. The man was still tightly grasping Beby's hand. "Gue will wait until you really move on."

Honestly, Aldef's reply made Beby feel relieved. "Thank's, Al, you want to know me."

"By the way, you still want to receive a gift from me, right?"

Both of Beby's eyeballs were directed at his hand which was still tightly grasped by Aldef. "It can be removed first, can't it?"

Reflex, Aldef kept his hand away from Beby. The man scratched his non-itchy nape, feeling misbehaved. "Sorry."

Beby chuckled. "Gue got the hoodie, huh? I take this as a sign of our closeness. If it's a necklace thing, I don't think it's time I received it from you."

"okay." Aldef grabbed the black box on Beby's lap. "But, don't be upset if this necklace is later on in another girl's neck."

Just got drunk kepayang, flown to penetrate the seventh sky, now it has been destroyed again.

"Joking, Sky," said Aldef, seeing Beby as silent. "Gue make sure, this necklace will be coiled around your neck." Aldef advanced his face, staring at the two eyeballs of Beby closer. "Because, you're the only one who deserves my necklace."

"Here you turned out."

Not yet had Beby reply to Aldef's words, someone came to intrude. Make Aldef then re-establish the body. Both of them felt like a thief caught red-handed.

"Ngapain you near my sister?"

Yep. The third person is Miko.

"Not a word," replied Aldef. "We're just talking, really. Yeah, right, Sky?"

Beby nodded. His gaze turned on the moss-green backpack on Miko's back. "Where are you going? The lecture? It's, right, Sunday."

"Gue has business. I'm staying right, right?"

"Oh! It's nothing!" sahut Aldef girang's. The man had to stand up so that he could be on par with Miko. "Your sister is safe with me" he said with a big smile. The mouth of a crocodile.

Not a land crocodile, yeah!

Miko stared intently at Aldef. "Gue didn't say the same, lo" he said.

Aldef smiled grinningly, while Beby laughed softly.

"Where are you going, anyway, brother?" ask Beby.

"There's business."

"What business?"

"Sama temen college. Very cool, anyway!"

One eyebrow Beby raised. "Yes ... a time you lied to me."

'Deg!'

Where does Beby know?

What if Miko is lying?

"Once you go on a date," continued Beby who ended a burst of laughter at the end of the sentence.

A sigh of relief escaped from Miko's respiratory tract. Lucky because the wind in the park at that time was quite strong.

"Seriously very face lo, sister," said Aldef, making Miko then normalize his expression.

Miko glanced at Aldef for a moment, then turned her gaze towards Beby. "Gue left first, yeah." The man kissed the top of Beby's head briefly. "Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikumsalam," Beby and Aldef answered simultaneously.

After Miko left, Aldef got up from his sitting position. Making Beby then look at Aldef astonished.

"Where are you going?" ask Beby.

Aldef lowered his head, looking at Beby who was sitting in a wheelchair so deeply. "Sky."

"What's? Do you have business too? Wanna go?"

Aldef shook his head quickly.

"Continue?"

"Can't I do it like Miko's sister did?"

The wrinkles on Beby's forehead were growing. The girl thought hard about what Miko had done until Aldef wanted to emulate—

"NO!" beby shouted as he realized the meaning of Aldef's sentence.

"Astag." Aldef slammed back into the park chair. His right hand reflexively rubbed his chest, surprised by Beby's shout. "Lo seems to be very healthy, yes. Can you scream at that."

"Elo, hell!" exclaim Beby with pursed lips.

Seeing the girl's expression before him, Aldef smiled widely.

"When you smile?!" ketus Beby while raising a wary gaze towards Aldef.

"It's okay. Just watch you pout gini. So the nyium."

"ALDEF!" Beby beat Aldef brutally. Meanwhile, the victims of the violence of Beby even scattered.

Without them noticing, there was a pair of eyes that had been watching them with teary eyes. A bitter smile adorned his lips.

A hand perched on his left shoulder, making the person turn his head for a moment.

"It's not too late if you want to fix everything" said the owner of the hand.

"i know's. But like, Beby's moving on."

"From what I've seen, he hasn't completely moved on. You still have a chance. Lo know that."

"Yes. But it wouldn't be fair to Beby if I used the opportunity."

"As far as you are, deh."

"So, this is the place?" miko asked someone on her right side.

In front there, looks a minimalist house that looks a little neglected. Miko's eyeballs are drawing right at the door of the house.

"Yes" replied a man behind the steering wheel.

"Keep, what about that jerk getting out of jail?"

"If it's a problem, I don't know yet. But, most likely someone is vouching."

Miko looked quickly. "Your Benjamin? Can you?"

Someone beside Miko laughed bitterly. "Lo Kayak doesn't know Indonesia."

"Is he inside?" ask Miko.

"The person you're looking for isn't inside. But I can assure you, there's someone in there."

"meaning?"

Rama looked at Miko's goal. "We have a comparable opponent."
