Almero stepped foot into the Wiryadi family mansion. Being in this house reminded him back to Marion. Once upon a time when he came here, Marion's beautiful face and warm smile always greeted him. But all are memories. This house now seemed so quiet without the presence of the woman he loved.
"Mr Almero, please sit down, Mr and Mrs are inside. I'll tell them" said the butler.
The atmosphere of mourning is felt in every corner of the house. While waiting, Almero again remembered his good times with Marion in this house. Formerly in the living room, they often hold hands while hugging friendly. Sometimes they throw silly jokes at each other. What a beautiful nostalgia it will not be forgotten.
"Al, Auntie is glad you came here" she said. Indira hugged Almero.
Almero hugged her future mother-in-law. For a moment they share the sadness of remembering Marion's sudden departure.
"Sit, Al. Think of it as your own home" said Mr. Peter.
Mrs. Indira looked at Almero with a sad look.
"Al, even though Marion is gone, don't hesitate to come here. We always thought of you as our own son."
"Thank you, Auntie. I also think of Auntie and Om as my parents."
Mr. Peter holds Almero's shoulder.
"It just so happens you're coming, Al. The next day we will go to Amsterdam. We wanted to calm ourselves down there for a while. Leave this company and this house to you. Come occasionally to Paraland if your job at Adhiyaksa Group is not too crowded."
"I will definitely work on it, Om," replied Almero.
Almero sighed deeply before conveying the intent of his arrival.
"Om, actually I want to ask you about the patient who received Marion's heart. Do you know the patient or his family? I saw them in front of the operating room" asked Almero, hoping to get an answer soon.
Mr. Peter and Mrs Indira looked at each other. Seeing the sadness in Almero's eyes they didn't reach the heart to lie to him. But on the other hand, they had already promised her father Aura to keep Aura's identity a secret from Almero.
"The recipient of Marion's heart is a young girl. But we don't know what his name is."
"Did Om not get to know his parents?" ask Almero.
"Sorry, Al, we were very sad at the time. We didn't think at all about talking to anyone else."
The answer Mr. Peter gave made Almero go limp for a moment. Dismissed his hopes of finding the girl in the near future. But he won't just give up. Any way he would take to be able to hear Marion's heartbeat which is now in the girl's body.
...****************...
Alarick has arrived at the boarding room he rented with Mr. Sam, the driver of the Adhiyaksa family. Mr. Sam helped Alarick to get his luggage and luggage out of the trunk. They were immediately greeted by a thick-bodied woman. The shape of his face is round with thick makeup and reddish-colored lips.
The woman was seen sumringah when she found a luxury car parked in her boarding yard. Plus he came upon a young man who was as handsome as a celebrity on a glass screen. I don't know what dream he had last night so he got a gift of this magnitude.
"Jiang, Ma'am," Alarick said to the woman.
While wetting her lips with her tongue, the woman was amazed to look at Alarick.
"Siang, who are you? A soap opera artist, TV presenter, or magazine model?"
"No, Ma. Introduce me Alarick from Jakarta, room tenant boarding number 110. I called Mom on the phone."
"Ow, you're Alarick?"
"Yes, Mom."
Aunt Lina took the key and turned the knob on Alarick's room door.
"Well, this is your room, Alarick. There's a bed, a wardrobe, and air conditioning. And there's a bathroom inside."
Alarick looked around his room. This room looks very narrow. Much different when compared to the luxurious rooms in the house and apartment he had lived in during his studies abroad. But at least this room is quite decent for shelter after work. If he really wants to be an ordinary employee, then he must dare to try to live a simple life.
Lina looked at Mr. Sam while still holding tightly Alarick's hand.
"Is this your driver?" tanyanya.
"Yes, Aunt."
"Hmmm, you must be from a rich family. If there's anything you need, don't call Auntie. Aunty's house is next to the boarding house whose fence is yellow. Aunt's coming home."
"Thank you, Auntie. But please let go of my hand first" Alarick said, forcing himself to smile.
"Ough, yes, Auntie forgot. Okay, good rest, Alarick. See you tomorrow."
Lina breezed away by shaking her hips to the right and to the left. He turned to Alarick once more while throwing a sweet smile. Instead of being happy, Alarick shuddered in horror. Mr. Sam also watched the behavior of the fat woman.
"Young Master, would you like me to help you with your clothes?"
"No need. Sam returned to Jakarta. Tell Mommy and Daddy that I arrived safely at the boarding house. And don't forget to send me my motorbike immediately."
"Okay, Young Master. I'm going home."
After Mr. Sam left, Alarick locked the door to his room. He took all his clothes out of the suitcase and arranged them neatly in the closet. This was not difficult for Alarick because he was used to living independently.
When he saw the hair gel and the glasses, Alarick paused for a moment. He also experimented with a new hairstyle taught by Ivyna. He must be adept at doing it to support his appearance tomorrow at the office.
Alarick was having a hard time at first. She repeated it three times to rearrange her hairstyle. It was only in the fourth experiment that he managed to style the hair according to the direction of Ivyna.
"Well, I finally can. Now I'll try to wear these glasses" he murmured facing the mirror.
Alarick seemed satisfied with the results he got. Tomorrow he lives acting as a naive man and comes from a simple family. I don't know why he was so excited to do this show.
Finished with his training, Alarick was about to call Cleantha. But someone contacted him first. Alarick's forehead creased deeply as he looked at the Monica name that appeared on his phone screen.
"Hello, Rick. How are you doing now? Why didn't you call me when you got back to Jakarta?" asked Monica in a spoiled tone.
"Good news, Monica. Why call me?"
"Don't be angry like this, Baby. I miss you so much. I'm going back to Jakarta next week to see you. Later you will have to accompany me to come and go for a walk."
"I can't, Monica. I'm doing a lot of work. Next time we talk again."
"But, Rick...."
Alarick turned off his phone immediately. He is lazy to serve Monica, a spoiled woman who only knows how to spend money. It must be admitted Monica is beautiful and attractive in the eyes of men. But he was no longer interested in being in love with the girl.
