ALDEBY
|43.| Except if ....

"Al, are you coming to the set tomorrow?" Beby started the chat after five minutes they left Aldef's parents' house.

"Tomorrow I have class until the afternoon. I don't think so before, deh." Aldef, who had originally focused on the street in front of him, turned his head for a moment towards Beby. "Why?"

"Yes ..it's okay, anyway."

"Really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What time does it start?"

"Fahri said, at nine in the morning. It's near FS."

"Lho's? Do you have no classes?"

"There was. Evening."

"I can't see you, dong, we."

Beby chuckled softly. "Please, uh, Al. Our house is facing. Can you get to my apartment, or vice versa, right?"

"Yes too, anyway. By the way, you've never been in my apartment, have you?"

Beby nodded. "Lo never stepped up, anyway."

Aldef laughs. "Tomorrow, deh. Before you leave for the location, how?"

"Can. What time?"

"The plan is to gym first at six."

"Follow!!!"

"OKAY. At six o'clock, after that we'll house my apartment tour."

"Isn't there a morning class?"

"Oight hour."

Beby mangosteen. Honestly, he really wanted the first day of filming to have Aldef next to him. But Beby must realize that Aldef's world is not just about him.

"By the way, Sky. I want something, dong."

"What?" Beby looked curiously at Aldef.

"What makes you so sure I'm your girlfriend?"

Beby's vision turned to look straight ahead. His mind then drifted away at the moment where his heart was beating faster near Aldef.

"Because I'm sure you're the same. I believe you are the one God sent to heal my wounds. Yeah, although I was hesitant at first, but the way you looked at me, the way you touched me, and the way you treated me, it all felt special, Al."

"Lo didn't let me vent because I couldn't turn around Arka, right, Sky?"

Perhaps, if another female was in Beby's current position, that female would be infuriated. Aldef's blatant question of slander is certain to offend a sensitive woman.

But, Beby responded to it in a different way. Instead of being upset or angry, the girl smiled widely.

"If from the beginning my goal is only to make an impingement, I will not tell about my past to lo, Al. Especially the one that made me depressed. Just do nginget again, I don't think I can."

Aldef pulled the car over. The stupid time with Miko who was waiting. Deepalk with Beby this time felt more important.

Hearing all Beby's excuses, Aldef felt like the most sinful man in the world. How could he still think of Celine when there was Beby who placed so much trust in her?

"Why see me?" beby asked, because Aldef who was only silent with both eyes stared fixedly at him.

"Lo trusts me, doesn't he, Sky?"

"What, anyway, Al? I don't understand."

"Whatever happens later, please don't stay with me, yeah."

Beby smiled sincerely. "Gue won't leave you. Except ...."

"Except?"

"Unless you do things that trigger the trauma of my broken heart back."

"Example?"

***

Lola pressed the bell button next to the door with the 226 sign that was Beby's apartment. Lola sent a message to her best friend. And from what Beby said through chat, in this apartment there is Beby's brother. Beby has told his sister that there will be a friend named Lola who will stay there tonight.

Almost a minute waiting, the door to Beby's apartment opened. With a big smile, Lola said, "Hi, Brother. I'm Lol—"

"Ohhh .. So you're Lola?"

Both of Lola's eyes widened as she looked at the figure standing before her. "Lo?! What's going on here?!"

Miko smiled in a slant. "According to you?"

Lola was silent for a moment. His slow brain was trying as much as possible to digest what was going on. Earlier, Beby said that there was an older brother in the apartment. That means ....

"Lo Beby's brother?!" shouted Lola who made Miko then rubbed her earlobes.

"It's not just the face, yeah, it turns out. Your mouth is also like a kunti."

"Huh? What did you say?!"

'BRAK!'

"WOI, MIKI! I'M GOING IN!"

"DIDN'T! YOU WAIT FOR BEBY TO COME OUTSIDE AJA!"

Lola stomped her legs irritated. Why is this day of terrible misfortune befalling him?!

The girl with the bent face grabbed the phone from inside her sling bag. Quickly, he dialed Beby's number.

"Lo's still a long time?" lola asked so connected to Beby across the street.

"Udah deket, anyway. Five minutes to go."

"Buruan!"

"Emang why?"

"Yes, the hunt. Not wearing for long. I'm waiting."

"Basic freak lo."

Lola hung up the phone unilaterally. He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it. Patiently, Lola waited for Beby's arrival.

And it was true, five minutes later, Lola's eyeball caught the figure of Beby and Aldef coming out of the elevator.

"Well, did you stand here?" beby asked while looking strangely at Lola.

"Sky, I'm in first, yeah."

Beby turned to look towards Miko. The girl gave a short nod while smiling sweetly at her boyfriend.

'Cup!'

Without warning, Aldef kissed Beby's head. Makes the girl fixate on things for a moment.

"Good night, Sky."

"Good night, Al," Beby replied with an awkward smile.

"Gue first, Lol," Aldef said as he looked at Lola. Lola nodded in response.

After Aldef left, Lola nudged Beby's arm. "Such a sweet kiss from a girlfriend" Lola teased.

"What, anyway?" reply Beby sok cuek. The girl then pulled out an access card and opened the door of her apartment.

"Assalamualaikum" said Beby.

"Getishalight." Miko's voice came from the middle room. Hearing Beby's voice, the man rushed to leave his original place. His eye beads had met with Lola's eyeballs, before Miko finally cut off the action of mutual face-to-face between them.

"Sister, this is Lola—"

Not yet Beby finished his sentence, Miko interrupted, "Udah knows." The man then moved to his room.

"That's weird, anyway," muttered Beby.

"Know, tuh!"

Beby turned his head quickly towards Lola with both eyebrows linked. "Do you know each other?"

"No," said Lola quickly.

"But, why ...."

"Udah. We'll go to your room. I have ready to snack. Palii!" (Quick!)

***

Time has shown almost midnight. Drowsiness has long plagued Aldef's eyes. However, all the branches in his mind seemed to be unwilling to allow Aldef to wander in the dreamland.

I don't know how long the man dressed in a long-sleeved black T-shirt had been sitting on the long sofa in his room. Both of Aldef's eyeballs were faithfully staring straight ahead. Looking at the sparkling lights of the city with full glare, from the walls of his glass apartment.

Every now and then, Aldef's gaze turned to the sky blue-covered book in his grasp. Ja. That book. Beby's journal was lost 2 years ago.

Aldef was.

On one hand, Aldef imagined Celine's face waving as the girl asked for her help. But on the other hand, Aldef's eardrum was ringing with Beby's words.

"Unless you cheat on your ex."

Aldef exhaled a heavy breath. His hand moved grabbing the phone lying on the surface of the sofa. Then, jemari Aldef pressed the gallery icon.

His smile was so intense that Aldef's vision saw pictures of Beby there.

***

Celine wakes up because her phone is suddenly ringing. The eyes that were still very sleepy he forcefully opened. Fara's name was exposed there. With extreme force, Celine pressed the answer button.

"Why, Far?"

"ONE TASK IS NOT TO BE CLEVER LO, YES!"
