ALDEBY
|55.| Happy Birthday, Honey

Five minutes more Aldef paced in front of the Beby apartment unit. He is confused what to say in front of his girlfriend later. Thousands of times the sentence is arranged in the head, but thousands of times the sentence is messy in the next second. One thing is for sure, Aldef could not possibly tell the truth.

After a long time looking at the wooden door in front of him, Aldef decided to squeeze the bell next to the door. Reason, it's business later. What matters now—

'BUGH!'

A precise blow struck Aldef's jaw, sending the man crashing to the floor. His thumb reflexively pressed against the corner of the bleeding lip. As Aldef looked up, there was a figure of Miko with a dagger-sharp gaze that pointed at him.

Not yet had Aldef wake up, Miko pulled the collar of Aldef's shirt. "Where are you from, huh?! I could have left my sister ALONE!"

'BUGH!'

Now, Miko really is like an evil person. His fist blindly hit Aldef. Meanwhile, Aldef who was aware of his mistakes did not intend to evade, let alone fight.

"STOPP!!!"

Miko's act of loyalty came to a halt when she heard a shrill scream from inside the house. The man looked back with a breath of frenzy and his hands were still firmly clenched.

Beby who saw Aldef battered, then approached the man. "Lo's okay, isn't it?" beby asked as he cupped Aldef's jaw.

Aldef, who felt as if his bones had been broken simultaneously, was speechless. He occasionally coughed as a result of a blow to the stomach.

The girl who was crouching in front of Aldef turned her eyes towards Miko. "Sister! I promise you, right, same me?! Forgot?!"

"He deserves that!" reply Miko with a stern look towards Aldef.

Beby clucked in annoyance. Ignoring Miko, he helps Aldef stand up.

"We're going to your apartment, huh? I'm treating the wound."

"Beby—!"

"DIEM! Don't forbid me."

Aldef took his apartment's access card from inside his pocket, then handed it to Beby. After the door opened, Beby helped Aldef in. Leaving behind Miko who was still in a black fog full of emotions.

***

Inside Aldef's apartment, Beby sat the man down on the living room couch.

"Gue take the P3K first" said Beby.

The girl then stepped towards the kitchen, leaving Aldef with a gaze that did not shift from her. After everything Aldef did, the man did not expect Beby to defend him in front of Miko.

Beby returned with a P3K box which he then placed on the table. His hands deftly removed the cotton, red medicine, alcohol, bandages, and plaster. Then, Beby poured red medicine and alcohol on the cotton.

"Here," said Beby, asking Aldef to come closer. The boyfriend complies.

"By—awh!" Aldef grimaced in pain as the wound at the corner of his lips was depressed.

Beby who accidentally did that also stopped moving the item for a moment. He must have heard wrong. Ja. "Lo call me what was that?" Beby's hand went back to treating Aldef's wounds.

Stupid! aldef on himself. How could he forget the call that had been intended only for Beby?

"Sky," Aldef replied, making Beby smile.

Apparently, Beby had heard wrongly.

"Gue—"

"Wait for your wound to finish I'm doing medicine. Just jerk."

Hearing that, Aldef was silent. His eyeballs stared at the bends toward Beby, watching every inch of his girl's face give off a pale tinge.

You goofy, Al! Beby lo's girlfriend! Not Celine! What's he doing, Al? Celine is nobody! Celine is nothing more than the past! Begos!

The voice echoed in Aldef's ear. Indeed indeed. Aldef also realized his stupidity. Beby must have been waiting for him on the rooftop a long time ago. The girl must have shivered there.

"Sky—"

Aldef was about to make a sound, because Beby had placed a plaster on the wounds on his face, indicating that the girl was over. However, Beby seemed to not allow Aldef to open the topic of what was happening between them.

"Lo hasn't said happy birthday to me yet."

"Lo's not mad at me?"

"Everything is, you know."

"Do you want to ask me why?"

"In fact, you lost to my fans."

"Sky, please."

Beby let out a heavy breath. "Honestly, I was curious about the reason you suddenly said. But, may I ask you something?"

Aldef silent. And Beby understood that Aldef's silence meant that the man invited Beby to ask him for something.

"Gue wants, today you want me all day. Forget everything that happened. Please, Al. It's my first birthday since being your girlfriend. Can, right?"

Actually, there was one big question in Aldef's mind: Fahri. If Beby waits long in the rooftop, the girl is alone. So where is Fahri?

"Al?"

Because, this is Beby's Day.

"okay." Aldef smile. "Lo want what?"

Beby thought for a moment. "We're going somewhere."

"Where?"

"Follow it, deh!"

"okay."

"Gue get ready first."

Beby walked off the couch. Just three steps away, Aldef called out to him.

"Look!"

"Yes?"

Aldef standing. His pace raced slowly towards Beby. His eyes stared straight at the boyfriend's eyeballs. When the two were facing, Aldef cupped Beby's left cheek with his right palm.

"Happy birthday, dear," Aldef said in a successful low tone that made Beby soar.

***

It took a strong determination and persistence to fight Miko who insisted on banning Beby from leaving the house, especially with Aldef. As a result, they make a deal: Beby and Aldef can go together, but with Miko who is lurking. Earlier, Miko asked for a car with Beby and Aldef. But thanks to the stubbornness of her sister, Miko relented. He rode in his car, while Aldef and Beby were in Aldef's car.

Aldef stared blatantly at Beby who was tying his hair. The girl asked without looking. "Wae?"

"Gwenchanna?"

Beby turned his head quickly, laughing as he looked in wonder at Aldef. "When did you speak Korean?"

The man beside Beby laughed softly. "Since you ngeracunin I've been drakor."

Then, both of them laughed at the same time. As if nothing strange had happened. In fact, neither Aldef nor Beby had many questions for each other.

"By the way, Al. Someone sent me a gift to the apartment."

"Who? The fans?"

"Not."

"Who, dong?"

Doubtful. That's what Beby feels now. What if Aldef's angry? What if the man thought Beby was still putting his hopes on the former? What if Aldef thinks that Beby still loves Arka? How about ....

"Die? How, diem?"

Beby did not have the courage to look at Aldef. However, the girl replied, "Arka."

***

Celine wakes up and finds Poppy reading a book beside her bed.

"Where's Aldef?" ask Celine.

"Go," Poppy replied without changing position in the slightest.

"Where?"

"I don't know."

"Call him now."

Poppy closed the book quickly. His eyeballs returned the gaze of the older brother with guts. "Why, the hell, did you have to go this far? What do you do, brother? What would you get if Aldef and Beby's brother's relationship was broken?"

"You. I put all this on for you. Understood?"

Poppy breathed a heavy sigh. Since knowing a aunt-style woman named Fara, Poppy like losing the figure of her older brother.

"Sister, we're living a hard life now. But, no gini how—"

"How come?! How do you let your sister get a lot of money for your blood washing costs every week? HOW'S IT?!"

The girl with the hair was silent. Honestly, if asked like that, Poppy did not get an answer. Because, Poppy saw with her own eyes how Celine slammed bones from morning to morning to finance all the needs of their lives.

"No idea, right?" Celine spoke again, because she saw her sister was just silent. "You don't know how either, do you? If so, let Brother do anything for you, Pop."

Celine's hand landed on Poppy's shoulder. "Let Brother do everything you can to get well."
