ALDEBY

ALDEBY
|51.| Second Option


Fifteen days passed.


Beby was getting busy with his activities. While Aldef was still confused by his branching heart. Concern and time for Beby was never lacking, but sympathy for Celine was also not lost. Aldef is still helping his ex to find a kidney donor. Although Aldef repeatedly insists he is helping Poppy, his heart does not dodge the fact that Aldef does not want Celine to worry.


Thirty minutes into the seconds of Beby's age. Aldef had prepared everything perfectly. Starting from birthday cakes, gifts, to rooftops that he conjured into a place for candle light dinner.


"Thank's, yes, helped me" Aldef told Miko, Rama, Fahri, Kiran, and Lola.


"Not done with my job. Thank you" said Fahri.


Aldef chuckled softly. "Thank's, Bro."


Here, Fahri served as documentation. He'll be the one to capture Beby's birthday later. Kiran and Lola will take Beby to the rooftop. While Miko and Rama's duties are completed here. As Beby's older brother, Aldef did not want to trouble the man much.


Rough terms, imaging.


"If so, we stay down first" Kiran said.


"Gue also wants to go to the toilet," said Fahri.


Agreed, they all got off the rooftop. Leaving Aldef who enjoyed the cold sensation cooled the night breeze there. The shadow will smile charming Beby, making Aldef also smile widely.


Suddenly, the phone in his shirt pocket rang. Celine's name was on there. Although hesitant, but Aldef still press the answer button.


"Hallo?"


"Sister, it's Poppy."


Both Aldef's brows were astonished to hear such a buzzing sound across the street. "What's wrong?"


"Sir .. please ... please Mr. Celine ...." Poppy's sobs sounded even more sobbing. His breath is heavy.


"wait. I'm going there now."

Fahri rushed out after completing activities in the toilet. Fahri's hand moved pressing the doorknob, about to open it out. But ....


"Cock, can't you?"


Once again, Fahri tries to open the toilet door. But still, as hard as Fahri tried, the toilet door was still reluctant to open.


"Woyyy!!! Is there anyone outside?! Help, dong!!! The door's locked!!!"


One sec.


Three seconds.


Five seconds Fahri waited, no one answered from the outside.


The man reached into his pants pocket, looking for a cell phone.


"Geez!" fahri shouted while patting his own jidat. "My phone's left on the rooftop."


Not wanting to give up, Fahri again banged on the toilet door while shouting, "Help!!! Is there anyone outside?! Bukain, donggg!!!"


While Fahri continued to drain his vocal cords and power, a black hat with a mask-covered nose and mouth in front of the toilet's outer door smiled cunningly.

Previously, Beby intended to stay up late, but the dense activity made Beby's eyes heavy until the girl fell asleep on the sofa in the middle room of his apartment.


Miko and Rama who saw it first exchanged glances.


"Let us wake up, brother," said Kiran.


"If so, I'm the same Rama to the room, yes," replied Miko.


Kiran nodded. While Lola who considers Miko invisible creature even looked away.


After Miko and Rama leave, Kiran starts to wake Beby up.


"By ...," call Kiran slowly. "Bus ...."


"Hmm???" Beby muttered softly. Slowly, the girl opened her eyes. Seeing Kiran and Lola before him, Beby straightened up.


Lola glanced at the circular clock on her left wrist. "Fifteen minutes left. Buru, man!"


"Yuk, By! Come with us," Kiran invited while dragging Beby's hand for the girl to stand up.


"Where?" asked Beby lazily. "The surprise is here. What's the middle of the night, anyway?"


"Udah, come with me!" kiran and Lola said simultaneously.

Aldef's car sped up the streets of the capital. Although almost midnight, Jakarta does not know the word lonely.


While driving, Aldef tried to contact Fahri. He intends to inform her of what is happening to him. But, a few times Aldef tried, Fahri did not answer his call.


Aldef then tried to contact the others, but his phone suddenly died. Aldef reflexively patted the eel right then and there, forgetting that his phone was running out of battery.


Aldef has two options. Return to celebrate Beby's birthday with the candle light dinner that he has prepared, or continue his heroic actions to help the former.


And Aldef chose the second option.


Shortly thereafter, Aldef arrived in front of Celine's house. The man in the grey shirt got out of the car and entered the yard. The open door made Aldef not hesitate to enter.


The whole house was scattered to make Aldef was-was. Chairs, desks, closets, they're not where they're supposed to be. In the living room, Aldef found Poppy bending her knees while drowning her face.


"Poppy?"


"What's going on?"


The girl with the shoulder-length hair shook her head slowly. "I don't know. I went to the front shop to buy meatballs. When we got home, it was all a mess."


Most likely, there were robbers coming in.


"Where's line?"


"In room. The door was locked from the inside. I don't want Celine's sister to be okay."


"Where's Celine's room?"


Poppy moved from her place, leading Aldef to Celine's room. The shoulder-haired girl pointed at a light brown door that Aldef thought was Celine's room.


"This one?" aldef asked, confirming what was on his mind.


Poppy nodded briefly. That way, Aldef prepared himself to break down Celine's room door.


Once. Twice. And the door is open.


Aldef's eyeballs were perfectly rounded when he saw Celine lying on the floor with both eyes tightly closed.


"SISTER!!!" Undoubtedly. That made Poppy cry hysterically.


Without further ado, Aldef immediately entered Celine's room and carried the girl in his carrier.


"We're taking Celine to the hospital" Aldef said as he realized Poppy was following his steps.


"Can I come, brother?"


Aldef nodded briefly. Then, the two hurriedly stepped towards the car. Aldef who was holding Celine in bridal style, and Poppy who tailed from behind while looking at Aldef's back meaningfully.

Chika's forehead frowned when she heard the sound of television as soon as it entered her house. Today, the woman was indeed preoccupied with a stupendous job. Chika was forced to go home later than usual.


Passing through the living room, Chika saw that it was true that the television was on. Slowly, Chika stepped closer.


"Congratulations?"


The owner of the name who originally sat leaning on the back of the sofa then straightened his body. "Mama? Long time to go home."


Arka grabbed the mother's back, then kissed her softly.


"Why aren't you asleep?" ask Chika while taking a sitting position next to Ksnan Arka.


"I can't sleep, Ma."


Chika looked at her son. As a mother, Chika knew very well that there were so many things that Arka thought about. Starting from college, to the disease that every second gnawed his body. And most Chika knows, Arka's mind is filled with someone who still reigns in her heart.


"Beby, again?"


Arka looked slowly. Her lips smiled wryly to find the sad look that Chika gave off. "Today's Beby's birthday, Ma. Last year, I tried desperately to make a surprise that he would never forget. I also promise to be there for him no matter what. But now, I'm the one who made her hurt."


"Ac ...."


"I'm so mean, huh, Ma? But I love Beby, Ma."


Chika carries the head of Arka in her arms. Chika's chest felt tight to see the fate that befell the son. If God permits, Chika wants to take over the disease in Arka's body.


"You're a good boy, honey," Chika said as she rubbed Arka's back. "You're Mama's best son."


Arka took off her embrace. The man chuckled small. "hey are. Mama's son is just me."


Chika's laughter broke at that moment, along with her tears that also sank increasingly. Laughing while crying, crying while laughing, it is common for him to experience.


"Ma, can I ask you a favor?" Arka gently rubbed Chika's tears with her thumb.


"What?"


"Later if Arka 'home', Mama don't take too long, yes, cry."


"What are you talking about, anyway, Ar? My mom doesn't like it!"


"Like it or not, that's the fate, Ma. Yes ... If it is in front of the miracle there is, thank God. But if we don't, Arka just wants us to be prepared for the worst."


"Ar—"


Chika's words were cut off because Arka suddenly closed her eyes. The man grimaced while clutching his head.


"Ac ...."


Panicked, Chika patted Arka's cheeks pretty hard. However, Arka kept her eyes closed.


"No, Ar. Not now. Mama please."


With tears in her eyes, Chika rushed to call an ambulance.
