ALDEBY
|74.| Aldef's

The warm smile of the black-eyed owner up ahead greeted Beby's presence. Thanks to her chat with Arka last night, the girl became more breastfed over the destiny that the Creator had determined.

"Hi, Ar. How are you?"

Arka laughing. "No other questions, huh?"

"There's." Beby sat on the left armchair of Arka after putting the fruits he had bought before coming here. "Gwenchanna?"

"That question should be for you, By."

Both corners of Beby's lips swooped upwards. "Because of you, Ar. I'm fine now."

"Thank God it was that."

Beby's eyeballs point at the nightstand on the left side of the Ark. There, there is a plate containing half apples left. The problem was open there, but the knife was lying next to the plate.

Seeing that, Arka then took a knife there and put it in the drawer. Beby who saw that also raised a look of wonder at Arka.

"You know?" ask Beby.

Arka smiled slightly while nodding.

"Know where?"

"What, the hell, I don't know about you, By."

"As for my parents who were in a plane crash, do you know where you are?"

"If it's important .., yes, I know where?"

"Not really, anyway." Pause for a moment. "There's more important."

"Oh, huh?"

"On the Princess."

Arka was silent. He thought his relationship with Beby was much better now. Apparently, the pain that Arka had inflicted was still imprinted on Beby's heart.

"If it's about that, I'm sorry."

"So, really?"

A heavy breath coming out of the Arka's respiratory tract. The man did not expect, that the impact of the play that night was very painful. "Yes." Yeah."

"What if it's all just a show?"

Arka who had not dared to look at Beby's bead eyes, now raised a surprised look at the girl. At the same time, Beby's memory was thrown back at the incident a few minutes ago.

Someone touched Beby's right shoulder from behind, making the girl turn her head.

"Daughter?"

"Hi." Princess smiled kindly. "Gapain come here?"

Beby was silent for a moment. Should he be honest that he came here to see Arka?

"By?"

"Ah. Ja. I want to ask your permission."

The two eyebrows of the Princess linked in wonder. "Request permission? Same me? Make what?"

"Make me meet Arka."

"Ohhh .. So, you know that Arka is sick?"

Beby nodded.

"Keep, why ask my permission?"

"Because of her boyfriend?"

The girl dressed in white in front of Beby was then widened. "Arka didn't tell you?"

Now, Beby who was made confused by the intention of the Princess question.

"You know what?"

The Princess' palm landed steadily on Beby's right shoulder. Her net was staring at Beby's goal. "By, horrified, yes. I'm with Arka, there's nothing to do."

"Who-you mean?"

"That night, Arka asked me for help to make her a pretend boyfriend. Because he needs a reason to killusin lo. And Arka wants to, you hate her. Arka doesn't want to be sad because of her illness."

Those lines are like a glue spill that hit Beby's mouth. All this was too sudden for him. So, Arka never cheated? And the real reason why Arka kept avoiding was because the lekaki didn't want Beby to know about his illness?

"But, if about my first love Arka, it's true," continued the Princess. "Yes already. I'll see Arka."

"You ... know where?" ask Arka, make Beby go back to the present. "ah! Must be Princess."

"Why, Ar? Why weren't you honest from the beginning? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Sttt!" The powerless arc restrained her hand reflexes to wipe away the clear liquid that was soaking Beby's cheeks. "Sorry, By. You should never know until anytime. Sorry my mom told you. Sorry the princess was honest with you."

"Ac ...."

"I don't have much time, By. I can't keep looking after you. Instead I'm looking for a way to let you get away from me."

"You're healing, Ar."

"Said the doctor, I have no more than six months."

"Fel." Beby touched the back of Arka's hand lying on top of the gurney. "You're a doctor candidate. You know for yourself that doctors aren't God, right?"

"I know, By. But, I also don't want to expect too much."

"Can't I be hope enough for you? Can't I be your motivation to stay alive?"

"You've always been my motivation, By."

"That means, you have to plan on getting well, Ar."

"By." Arka took over Beby's fingers that had originally rested on the back of her hand. "Just remember all the motivational words that make you excited. Enough of you to live happily. Don't let your affection make me show up again."

Beby's heart, it already really belongs to Aldef.

***

Aldef intends to invite Beby to do the usual morning activities they do together: gym. But the man found no whereabouts of the girlfriend anywhere. The information Aldef got from Miko, Beby left since 06:00.

Aldef tried to contact Beby, but there was no reply from the girl. The location that comes to mind Aldef only campus and FS Agency. Because Aldef had a lecture schedule today, he decided to meet Beby later.

At 13:00, Aldef dropped out of class. His sense of sight caught the existence of Kiran who was also just out of class.

"Kira!"

Hearing his name being called, Kiran turned her head. "What?"

"Lo see Beby?" aldef asked shortly after standing right in front of Kiran.

"Yes how do I know. Kan, lo her boyfriend," replied Kiran sewot.

"Oh, okay. Thank's."

***

Leaving Kiran, Aldef rushed towards the car park area. The man drove his car to the FS Agency. Fahri said, Beby who should have a shooting schedule this afternoon asked for permission. Now, Aldef no longer knew where to find Beby.

Just occupying the surface of the usual editing room chair Aldef stopped by, the figure of Celine appeared in the doorway.

"Hi, Al."

"Hi." Aldef smiled slightly. "Have you started working again?"

"Yes. By the way, why is your face so lethargic? Laper?"

Aldef shook his head slowly. "Nyari Beby didn't meet me."

"Where is he going?"

"Say Fahri, Beby permission. Don't know where. I tried not to pick up the phone."

"Try it again."

Aldef thought for a moment. There was no harm in following Celine's advice. Thus, Aldef dialed Beby's number. And right, on the fourth dial, Beby picked up Aldef's phone.

"Hallo, Sky? Lo where is it?"

"Cafes Lomera."

At that moment, Aldef rushed to Lomera Cafe.

***

Sometimes, being prejudiced is better than feeling pain when you know what is really going on.

The stinging sensation that was once only created by your touch, unfortunately, has now been taken by someone else.

B.S.A

"So you've been thinking wrong all this time?"

Beby closed his sky blue-covered book. The girl sipped the taro milkshake before her while nodding, giving Lola a non-verbal 'yes' answer.

"Crazy, yeah, By. So, how's your plan?"

"What plan?"

"Lo want to reverse Arka?"

"Neo michyeosseo?!" (You crazy?!) sulk Beby. "Serus Aldef would like to be accompanied if I turned it back to Arka?"

"Yes, you broke up with Aldef. Beret."

"Lo's mouth needs to be schooled, yes, Lol."

"Gue seriously, By." Lola looked at Beby's goal. It was rare for a Lola to stare at her interlocutor this seriously. "Lagian, you yourself are complaining to me how Aldef lately. Kiran also said, right, that she's seen Aldef on the road with Celine?"

"That's because Aldef wants to help Celine."

"By, open your eyes! Aldef needs to learn a lesson. Even yesterday, you saw for yourself, right? She may have forgotten your favorite drink that everyone knows!"

"Again what to say?"

The baritone voice that interrupted Beby and Lola's conversation made them compactly turn their head. Aldef's figure in a blue dongker T-shirt with his arms folded to reach his elbows took a position to the left of Beby.

"Gue unplug first," said Lola who then moved from her position.

"Well eat?" aldef asked his girlfriend.

"Yet. Just had a drink."

"Where have you been all day?"

"There's business."

"What business?"

Not yet Beby answered, his phone lying on the table rang. Miko's name is plastered on the phone screen makes Beby then press the answer button.

"Hallo, Brother?"

"Bi ...."
