Don't (Blame) Love
Episode 31

At first Queen still wants to laze around to wake up. As a result of staying up all night, he still feels very sleepy at six o'clock.

"Honey. How did you wake up, anyway? He said take the streets of Berlyn?"

Al himself had not yet taken a shower. But, he had been up since earlier to brush his teeth and wash his face. So, he looks fresh.

"Well, what time is it? Six o'clock there's no mall open." The queen stretched her body and pulled back the blanket.

Al smiled and kissed her cheek gently and said, "Is it enough to be ready for an hour? It's still early in the morning, and it's not hot yet, I want us to take Berlyn to the graves of grandparents, before we go for a walk."

"Emmm... " The Queen tried to sit on her bed. He rubbed both of his eyes. His face still looks wrinkled. A moment later he yawned.

"How's it?"

"Yes, I want to" replied the Queen, then went to the bathroom.

Al just smiled to see his woman from behind until it disappeared behind the door.

While waiting for his wife to finish the bath, Al opened his leptop. He opened the incoming email again and waited for news when he would go to Bandung. Apparently, also in the near future. Because the client asks Al himself who determines when. So, Al decided three more days too, so that he could be with his wife.

After Queen came out of the bathroom, Al immediately rushed over

without flirting with his wife first. Maybe he really wants to

leaving soon. So, don't stall or delay any more time.

At the dinner table, Al expressed his intention to eat grandfather

and his grandmother to his father and mother, and to his daughter.

"Berlyn, before going to the mall, how about we send a prayer to Andreas' great-grandfather and Vivian's great-grandmother first?" ask Al for approval.

From the look on the boy's face, there was no objection at all. The gdais shows his joy and willingness. Even the Queen who actually looks a little how it is.

Objection no. Maybe she felt bad for Al if she stopped by her son's grave with Alex first. If he does not stop by, he is the child's mother, the result of a previous marriage with another man.

Queen gets quiet a lot when eating together. Not as usual.

"Why are you, Queen? You sick?" ask Clara.

"No, Ma. Just a little sleepy, yesterday a lot of work in the hospital," said Queen.

Clara was silent, not daring to ask again. He looked at Al. I don't see if they have a problem. It seems fine. Then, what makes Queen daydream.

After breakfast, the three of them say goodbye to their mother

Clara, papa Vano and Andrean's grandfather. In the car Queen was also more silent.Tak invite her daughter who sat behind the chat.

Arriving at the man-eater, Queen also looks unsettled. Al

I can understand what Queen is feeling. He was holding his shoulder from

sideways and whispered softly.

“We send flowers to her too. I don't mind whose son he is. But, back then, he was my nephew. If he survives, now is also my son, for I have married his mother.”

The queen looked up at her husband. He still feels no

it's just nice to Al. he's scared, if it'll offend him. Because, with the child, it reminds that Queen had married another man and had children with her ex-husband first, even though the child died at birth approximately one month.

“You sure it's okay?” asked Queen hesitatingly

looking into her husband's eyes.

“No problem. You and I both have a past.

Doesn't matter. What matters now is that you are mine.” Al kissed

the Queen's head slowly and took Berlyn to the small meal.

Berlyn was silent not hinting at anything when she found

that tomb. Even if he did not hear what papa was talking about and also

his mother, he was sure, his mother did not want him and anyone knew much about him

eat that little. So, he just chose to shut up and pray beside her.

****

Unwilling to make Axel wait a long time, Candra immediately woke up

and take a shower after the alarm rings for the first time. After bathing, Candra immediately changed clothes wearing a dark blue jeans suit and a plain black pres body shirt.

After that, he grabbed the wallet and car keys and hurry up

to garage. On the way, Candra receives a message from her boss, if it's three days

again, he must prepare a percentage in front of the client in Bandung.

Due to the driving focus, the man did not clear it. Put the phone back on top

car dashboard. He planned to reply after arriving at his destination.

It took half an hour to drive, Candra had already arrived at the location

purpose. He found the yard wet and clean. It looks like it just got watered, all watering the flowers and sweeping them.

With a slightly quivering heart due to a slight nervousness, Candra

knocking on the door of the house.

“Tok... tok... tok!”

“Shortly! Honey, there's a guest, please open the door,”

shouted a woman from inside, which was clearly Novita's voice.

The door opened, a teenage boy was seen

half her body from there.

“Om Candra? Come, Om. Login!” said the man kindly.

With a feeling of pleasure the man went inside. He saw

Novita was pacing from the kitchen to the dining table preparing breakfast for her two sons and also dirinyan of course. Because, last night Candra said

if Axel himself invited him to dinner. This is an opportunity

lastly, where could he possibly miss it?

“Sit down, Om. Axel wants to change clothes first, yes?” male

the teenage blaster went into his room which was in the front room. After a few minutes, Axel re-energized the black shirt

long sleeves and jeans are the same color as those worn by Candra.

“Where are you going, we actually?” ask Candra again.

He was really curious, even when going to sleep last night he had thought until one in the morning had not been able to fall asleep.

“Ke somewhere anyway Om. I hope you're not disappointed,”

answer Axel lightly while buttoning the arm of his shirt.

“Breakfast is ready, let's eat first!” namibia Novita from

dining table.

Axel, and Candra also compactly headed to the table

the meal.

“Where is Adriel?” ask Candra. Because I feel that there is

less if the six-year-old boy did not attend to welcome him.

“Adriel's still asleep, Om. Last night came home from his streets

still staying up first,” Axel replied.

“Oh, tumben once he?”

“Because sunday there is no event, he's so night

week stay up, then morning can be Nine hours just wake him.”

Candra just nodded. Novita is just ordinary

and put on a flat face.

They also had breakfast three, after which, Axel invited

Candra to leave.

“You bring my car is this car om Candra good?” ask Axel.

“Use Om's only, Xel. All are outside.”

“Alright, how about I drive the car?”

“Oke no problem.”

With cool and masculine movement teen men shirt

the long black arm got into the car and started the engine

then drive the vehicle at a very high speed.

Candra initially thought that she would be invited to a place

fitness is like Novita said last night. But, apparently not. Because it has passed the place and the car also continues to run fast. It's almost

half an hour's drive, but not yet arrived at the destination. Back Candra

dare to ask back.

“Xel, where are we actually going, anyway? It's almost

half an hour of this. The time has not arrived yet?”

“I promise you five more minutes we'll be there. If not, then,

then I will go down and om can go anywhere om want,” replied Axel flat

without looking at Candra.

“If you've arrived?”

“Follow my game continues until the end if it is true to love my mama.”

Candra smile. ‘What Novita said last night.

He was very testing and testing himself to find out how fast and

like him to be pndamping his mama.’ Inner Candra.

After two minutes. The car they were driving entered

the elite cemetery in Jakarta. Candra is back

his forehead. ‘Why to the funeral? What does Axel want to do indeed?’

“Come down, Om. I'm taking you to eat my papa. I know papa

there's no more. He died of his own carelessness. He's too

on death,” Axel said as he arrived in front of the Aditya vortex.

Candra was silent, she understood that Aditya was dead by the time

Adriel is still in the womb for about a month. But what was the cause of his death he did not know.

“You want me to pray for your late father and tell him

her spirit that I would marry your mama?” ask Candra. He saw the face of the teenage man who usually always put on a flat and cold face that slightly exuded a deep sadness.

“No! You just pray that you don't have to ask permission

to him. Because, they were divorced before my papa died.”

“What?” Candra was obviously surprised to hear that question. Because, the relationship between Novi and his in-laws remains good, it does not appear that they have been divorced. Novita himself had not said that before.

“Yes, my mother didn't know she was pregnant with a child

second to papa. When the divorce can be several months, then mom knows that she is pregnant, along with the news came too

news from grandma and om Alex says that my papa died.”

Candra didn't know what to say, she just patted me on the shoulder

Axels. “You're patient, huh? Om knows you're not a weak kid and you don't need pity. Om doesn't pity you, just understand what it's like to be you. Papa om also left when om was ten years old.”

“Only papa Axel's suits are buried there. But, uh,

his advice will still live in my heart, and now, he lives in you.”

Without Candra guessing Axel even hugged her.

Candra clenched and stroked Axel's back and patted

his back how many times.  “If you want, you and Adriel can call om with papa call. Om don't mind at all.“

“thank you. But, I'll call you papa after you

marry my mom later.”

“Good. Yes already, let's send a prayer to him.”

The two of them sat next to Aditya and prayed for him. After that, Axel was still reluctant to move. He remembered

with omnya. All this time he's always been Alex's favorite, and so has he

have a cousin of his omnya who has also faced the almighty before he was born into the world.

“Already, Xel?” Candra looked at Axel who was still silent and

little daydreaming.

“Not yet. There is one more tomb I want to visit.

Om too, huh?”

“Alright, come!” Candra also moved and tailed at the arms of Axel.

After several passes through the feeding area, Axel stopped

in a small tomb without a name. He was sure it was eating his fallen cousin. Because he was eight years old and his form was perfect as a baby, so buried like a dead baby.

“Whose tomb is this, Xel?”

“This is my cousin's grave. Alex was once married to

another woman before with aunt Zahara. His wife was pregnant but dear. At the age of eight months, the baby died.”

Candra shut up and thought, what woman Axel maxed out

is the Queen's mom the big boss's wife in the office? But, he just kept quiet

don't wanna say anything. He only remembered what the novel had told him before.

The two men had just sat down, and were probably still memorized

bismillah is spoken, attack the woman from behind greeting her.

“Axel!”

The two men looked at.

Axel was stunned when he saw the Queen aunt standing behind him. He stood up and faced the woman. Not even Axel

did not expect that he would meet her here, at the meal of his cousin who was also the biological son of the Queen. In fact, he had been missing the woman for a few months. Missing her motherly affection and also

his advice.

Back then, when Alex hadn't divorced Queen, before

Helena messed things up, Axel felt like he had two mothers. I don't know, so clever Queen understands herself as aunty. Or was she almost his stepmother?

“Tante, Queen!” sekeitka Axel grabs Queen's hand and

kissed her many times. “Tante how are you? Are you okay?”

“Iya, Xel. As you can see. Aunt in good shape, you're your mom and sister how?” ask Queen back in a soft tone.

Instantly Candra was only stunned to see the closeness of the candidate

his stepson with his superior wife.

“They're fine." Then Axel looked towards Al who was standing next to Queen and greeted, "Om Al.” At first Axel wanted to shake hands and kiss Al's hands as well, but instead, Al hugged Axel tightly and patted him on the back several times. He still feels guilty by killing Aditya when he sees Axel. He grew up on his own without her

a father. Because of his boredom.

“You how are you, Xel? If there is time, come to the place

we, take your mom and sister, too, okay? our house door is wide open for you,” said Al.

“Thanks, Om. God willing if there is time.”

“Candra!” exclaim Al.

Candra just smiled and bowed her body giving

homage.

Al approached the man and embraced him, saying,

“I know what your relationship is, Axel is my nephew too. So, you don't act like I'm your boss when outside the company like this.”

“Thanks, Mr. Al.”

“You still call me sir? Am I the same age as

your father?” janda Al, then everyone laughed.

Suddenly, Axel's eyes were fixed on the little girl who was in the hands of Queen.

The girl is about five years old, she is pretty white, she is,

her aunt cubed her lips red, combined with her wide eyeballs and

round, pliable eyelashes and thick and straight eyebrows, it really is like

living dolls that have lives.

“Hay,” greet Axel. He leaned over a bit to look at the boy's face even closer.

There was no answer from the girl's lips, she just smiled and

just nod.

“She's aunty's daughter, her name is Berlyn, Xel. But, he's mute.”

Queen answered without burden and a sad face. From his tone of speech when

saying that he was mute, as if there was pride in him

her little daughter and feeling as though she was mute was a worthy advantage

be grateful.

“Oh, yes? Sorry Aunt. Axel doesn't know.”

“No problem. As long as you understand sign language, you can

invite him to chat. If not, prepare a piece of paper and bulfoin,” Queen replied.

Finally the one praying at the grave of the fetus of Queen and Alex who

died in the womb when he was eight months old there were five people.

Afterwards, they came out of the burial area, Candra

chat with Al about their personal matters, occasionally flirting when

will you officially become a father, will you continue? Queen chatted with

Axel discussed about the education that was taken and which university he wanted to enter to continue his education while Axel held Berlyn.

To her, her beautiful Berlyn symbolizes a sincerity, she feels like and just falls in love with Berlyn. Seeing Berlyn is like seeing Adriel. The affection in his heart for Berlyn was like he loved Adriel.

“Do you have an event, Xel?”

“Nothing, Te. What's up?”

“We want to play to the mall, you want to come?” tawar Queen's.

“Bby, Aunt. Too bad, I didn't take it along

Adriel earlier, surely he would be very happy to have a friend who is the same age as him. Although the difference of one year is also not a problem should be,” said Axel.

“Yes already, come on, let's say to Al and Candra, you come with us, okay?”

“Al, afternoon rush, nih. How about taking Candra too

with us? Axel also wants to come with us, loh,” said Queen.

Al just smiled and nodded softly at his wife.

Then he immediately shifted the topic of his chat with Candra who had previously discussed the relationship of Candra, Novi and his two children.

“Ndra, I'm going to the mall to take the kids for a walk. You want to

coming?” tawar Al's.

“I have to drop off Axel, Sir.’’

“I'll be playing with Berlyn Om,” Axel said

still holding Berlyn.

Candra laughed awkwardly at the answer Axel gave. He knows a little about Axel's character.  All he knows is that he's always been uncomfortable with his girlfriend. Especially in Bilqis who tend to be a little aggressive. But, who would have thought, he liked toddlers.

At first thought only to care for Adriel because she was his sister, because, every time told to accompany Bilqis to a place always grumbled she was made the baby sister of the boy.

"Then what is this, Xel?" ask Candra.

"If Om wants, you can go back home, take Adriel and Mama along."

"You're asking us to catch up with you?" ask Candra convincingly.

"It's also if Om Candra doesn't mind."
