BRAVE LOVE'S
REPLY TO MESSAGES

"Hello, Om."

Axton knitted his eyebrows together as he received a short message from an unfamiliar number. However, Axton did not reply at all because he would not waste his time on unimportant things.

"When to Alex's house."

Axton, who had just set out to meet Mr. Orlando, now frowned. Yes, this is his third meeting with Mr. Orlando after a few days ago Mr. Orlando came. They have discussed the basics and will now begin planning designs for their hospital projects.

"Alex?" muttered.

"We're leaving now, sir. Mr. Orlando is waiting, "Zero said.

Axton put his phone in his pocket. He will check if the sender is Alex, or someone else. He doesn't believe it easily.

*****

In Ubud, Ubud,

Alex now displays his pouting face. Some days he spends time in front of the computer, although Mommy only gives him permission for 1 hour a day.

He had tried to find Axton's phone number and sent the man a message, but did not get a reply, making him think hard to do something more than this.

"Alexxx!!" shouts Abra calling her best friend while carrying a cake in her hand

Alex, upset, ran out of the room and approached Abra.

"Don't squirm, Mommy will instead" whispered Alex.

Abra turned to the left, to the right, and behind Alex, but he did not find Aunty Jean at all, as soon as Jean asked him to call her.

"No one" said Abra.

"After, Mommy's cooking again."

"Here I bring cake" Abra showed me the food he brought.

"Wow, it looks good" said Alex.

"Definitely delicious. It's Papa the same Mama I brought."

"Cock one doang?"

"To my house, there are many," Abra asked.

"Hayukkkp. Mommy, Alex to Abla's house," she cried, but she herself advised Abra not to scream inside the house.

Abra's house is only 3 houses away from Alex's house. They walk while holding hands. The two took off the sandals they were using and went inside. Inside, there was Grandpa Abra, as well as a pair of men and women who seemed to be about the same age as Mommy Jean.

"This is my Mom and Dad" Abra said, introducing the two to Alex.

"Alex" he said.

"Come, Alex here. Look at a lot of cake. Let's eat it" said Grandpa Abra.

Abra, who has not seen her parents for a long time, approaches the two and is spoiled, while Alex sits down to enjoy the cake provided. He sees how Abra enjoys joking with both of his parents.

His face suddenly became sad. He felt alone, had no Papa, Grandpa was far away Mommy said. Alex just had Mommy.

"Alex is home. Give me the cake" said Alex.

"Tomorrow to come here again yes, Om later to play with Waterboom Bali," said Papa Abra.

He entered the house, sat quietly leaning on the entrance and looking outwards. Mom Jeanette, fresh out of the kitchen, sees Alex sitting on the floor folding her both times and hugging her.

"What's up, baby? Didn't you just say to Abra's house?" ask Mom Jeanette.

"Mom, Abla's got Papa. Alex?"

Deggghb ....

This is the question that Jeanette feared the most, when Alex asked her whereabouts. Jeanette had been trying to figure out a word that Alex might ask her one day. But when it was tina, his tongue felt faint.

"Alex doesn't have one? Alex said to himself. His eyes glared out of the house.

Mom Jean approached Alex and hugged him, "I'm sorry, Mommy."

"Alex wait here, who knows Papa's coming," Alex's remark once again made Mom Jeanette close her eyes. Only now does she feel as if she is failing to become a mother, because her son wants a father.

"Is Mommy not enough for you?" ask Mom Jean.

"Alex wants to play like Abla."

"Mommy's gonna take you to play, Alex where are you going? Mommy will accompany."

Alex shook his head. Today was sad for him. Starting from Om who did not reply to his message, but he would be very happy if he got a reply, to Abra who has a complete family.

Mom Jeanette looked at Alex who had entered their bedroom. He also followed his son. Alex laid his body on the bed and was silent, really unlike the usual Alex.

Until nightfall, Alex really changed. He just kept quiet. He took a shower and dinner as usual, but afterwards he went back into the room and read his book.

"Okay sir, we're going to Bali tomorrow afternoon, how?" ask Gilbert to Mr. Orlando.

"Alright, I think that's a good idea. The sooner we get there, the sooner we start the project" Mr. Orlando said.

They'll be using Axton's private plane. That is so that they can arrive faster and do not depend on the schedule of commercial flights. Axton also thought about the situation of Mr. Orlando who was older than himself and his best friend.

Mark took the initiative to replace Zero to drive Mr. Orlando and his personal assistant back to the hotel. While Gilbert is still in the Williams Company along with Axton.

"What's wrong? Why look at me like that?" axton asked who disliked Gilbert's look at her.

"You don't want to come with us tonight?" ask Gilbert.

Axton shook his head, "Much to do."

"Since the past that was your only excuse. What really happened to you, Ax? I've felt you were different since that night. I'm sorry if we forced you to do that" Gilbert said.

"Not to be discussed anymore, it's all over."

"If you have a problem, share it with us. We're your best friends."

"Hmm ...," Axton went on to check some of the documents, without looking again at Gilbert.

After Gilbert's death, he remembered his cell phone. He opened the message that he got this morning and immediately opened his laptop. He skillfully played his fingers there.

"He's right Alex" murmured Axton, who was happy to know that. He also replied to the message.
