Don't (Blame) Love
Episode 407's

Still with a stiff face, Axel stepped on the stairs right behind Queen.he was very careless on Sherly who was too over chasing him. Indeed, since a few years ago the old girl had indeed tried to approach him. Various efforts have been done when he was still an intern at the company. Starting from the natural, unnatural way and the way that dropped her pride as a woman had also been done. But, it actually makes Axel more disgusted and not respect him.

According to him, that good girl, was a calm and graceful girl. He behaves naturally to anyone, is polite but, behaves only in one man. Like Berlyn for example. It's just, baby, he's a kid.

Seeing the aunt Queen and Axel had arrived, Sherly immediately stood up from her seat and looked at the two people.

“Sherly, because the food has been prepared by the aunt, and afraid of cold, mending us lunch first, huh? about your problems, this is discussed. While waiting for the baby to sleep too, right?” quen said to his guests. He could've solved the problem straight away, and got Sherly back. But, based on Axel's character like that, he was worried, if the problem was getting runyam he instead returned to the room and locked himself for a few days as it had been. So, in anticipation, if it did happen at least Axel would have eaten first.

“Good, Auntie,” Sherly replied as she gazed towards Axel.

Just as Queen was sitting at the dinner table, she suddenly remembered Bilqis. How not? The food on the table is also the result of working together. Suddenly, he forced himself to go home. Wh why? Is he jealous of Sherly? Inner Queen.

“You ate first, huh? Aunty wants to call Al first,” said Queen while siding towards Sherly who just touched her plate. As for the children, Adriel and Berlyn, they had eaten their food.

“Good,” Reply Al Brief. But in his heart he cursed himself. Why are you still confused in pronouncing a call to Queen.mama, or aunt?

The queen just smiled, she shifted her chair back then stood up and left the place. He came out of the house and got his nose on the back porch. She immediately contacted her husband, who may still be traveling with one of their twin daughters living in Japan.

“Halo, Darling. Why did you call me? Is there a problem?” al asked in a patient and affectionate tone.

“Yes, a little, and I need your help in getting this done, are you ready?” said Queen spoiled.

“Of course, as long as I can. Try, you say, honey,” replied Al who was impressed still very bucin. Their marriage was more or less eleven years. Want to not be harmonious, also who is imitated? Papa and their mama remain harmonious and romantic despite having grandchildren. In fact, until the end of their lives, Al and Queen had never seen the two quarrel, let alone fuss, look strange and just not be quiet.

“Begini, Bilqis suddenly forced to go home after tired of cooking together. Though, he was the most excited before."

“Continue? Why why?"

“He hasn't eaten. Is it because Sherly is here, she gets angry and goes home, huh?”

“Sherly? Chandra's late nephew? Why did he come there, honey? Then, what does it have to do with Biqlis when she suddenly leaves?”

“Gini, she came with Axel, and as she opened the door, Sherly immediately grabbed Axel's hand and hugged his arm. Maybe he's jealous.”

“They're dating?”

“No. But, Sherly is the one who likes and asks Axel to tell his mother that they have been dating. So, the match was canceled.”

“What?”

“I'll tell you later when you get back from Japan, okay? Now, I'm asking you to please, call Bilqis, persuade her to come back, because sister Nay just called, she's back tomorrow. Because there are obstacles today not so seminar. It will be held tomorrow.”

“Oke, yes already. I'll call him now then,” said Al. and ended the call, and Queen went back to the dinner table.

Once there, he finds Axel and Sherly both eating. But, neither considered there.

"Adriel and Berlyn have finished eating?" said Queen when she sat back in her place.

"We're done, Ma" Adriel replied, showing her plate and Berlyn's plate were empty.

"Printers. Then you wash your hands, face and feet and take a nap, okay?"

"Good, Ma... Come on, Berlyn," take Adriel with his daughter's hand. The two walked briskly half-run towards the bathroom near the kitchen, and still joined hands.

While Axel just glanced at his sister. The tail of his eyes continued to follow the two who had now arrived there and were a little rowdy. Maybe playing with water.

The dining room became silent. There was no conversation between the three people there.

"Mama, you eat" Axel said a little stuttering and a little groggy as he said to Queen.

Queen simply smiled and replied, "Mama is not hungry yet. Because, when cooking, it also tasted all the dishes." In fact, that's just the reason. The truth is, she has no appetite because of the few problems that concern her children.

"Auntie, please the children, ask them to go to the room immediately for a nap" Queen said.

"Good, Non." Instantly the middle-aged woman died her job and headed straight to the bathroom.

"Because it's noon, and she says Sherly's got some family business, maybe the problem's solved now, okay?" queen said, heading straight to the topic.

Axel confirmed his sitting position, paying attention to Queen and glancing at Sherly with a fed up face.

"What's the matter between you and Axel, Sher?" ask Queen.

Sherly silently seemed to think, she did not immediately say what the problem was. Fear and doubt may be.

'Where is this for? I'm telling you honestly what's ginana? As far as I know, Queen's aunt is the one to be very firm. A yes A, and B yes B, ' her inner self.

"Sherley?" said Queen again.

"Eh, yes aunt. I apologized earlier. When I come here, I need help from Axel. But, she refused," Sherly replied, stuttering slightly.

"What help?" Ask Sherly Queen. Then, his eyes fell on Axel. When Sherly just kept quiet didn't answer.

"Is it true, Xel you refused to help him?" not to forget, Queen also gestured for Axel to tell the truth. Because, here he acted as if he did not know anything about the problems of the two of them.

"really. Because I can't help him. If you can, this is ridiculous and inappropriate" Axel replied.

Things become quiet. The two youngsters in front of Queen were both silent.

Three minutes passed by and Axel waited for Sherly to speak. But, the girl was speechless, so, she answered Queen's last question.

"He will be betrothed by his mother, and at seven they will be met. Sherly refused this match. It's just that his mother didn't accept it and kept insisting. Because all this time her mother saw her daughter was always single, and was afraid to be a spinster, Ma."

"real Aunt. I asked Axel to pretend to be my girlfriend in front of everyone. Especially for my mom, I want her to tell him that we have been dating for a long time. Intentionally hidden because Axel hasn't graduated from college."

"But, it's wrong, Sher. You can't be like that" said Queen.

"sorry. I have loved Axel for a long time. I did this also with the intention that in the future I could actually marry Axel, aunt."

Instantly the atmosphere became quiet. Only Sherly's voice was heard.

"You better go back, I don't want to do that. Problems and fears are to be faced, not enjoyed or avoided, said Axel then the man left the place to eat.

While Queen can only give understanding and direction to Sherly. Until finally the girl is willing to return to Jogja to face her problems without having to involve other people who do not have anything to do with her.

*****

Satisfied with crying and lamenting unimportant things, suddenly Bilqis' eyes were fixed on a large wardrobe in her bedroom. Instantly the girl's lips curved upwards forming a smile.

"Oh, so who's like Sherly, huh, who's your taste?" he muttered alone. Then Bilqis went to open the closet and saw the clothes hanging neatly inside. Stunned.

"Because I already know, brother. From now on I won't chase you like that anymore, and won't tell me how I feel about me, or ask about how you feel, Axel said. But, I will try to be what you want. What if you could make you fall for me, I would" he said, looking down at his pile of old clothes.

Very deftly, Bilqis sorted out some old clothes that were not used. He was drawn to a mini dress that he had not worn for a long time. Not because it doesn't fit. But, because it's too short. So deliberately not used because of embarrassment. But, ever since seeing Sherly earlier, it seems like she will lose her sense of shame. Too bad.

The dress is blue, mustart and bone white. Some cases of strit and mini skirts and hot pants that have been scattered on the floor. At try one by one he mix to look contemporary with. The style of western style that young artists wear. He laughed again, laughing at himself.

"Hahaha, I'm not like me. But, pretty anyway. It even seemed prettier than the old girl." Bilqis circled in front of the mirror looking at her reflection in the mirror wearing a short, knee-length black skirt suit she matched with a white shirt with ribbon lace in front of her chest, a Korean style. And his long hair he stalls just like that. 'Beautiful,' inner.

As he was getting engrossed in his clothes, suddenly a call came in ringing his phone which he put on the bed.

The girl turned her head, thinking who was calling her. He guessed that no Queen mother, yes her own mother. But, it turns out that his guess was wrong. Papa Al called him.

"Hello, Pa?" The girl answered while sitting down.

"Yes, Hello. Where are you, Bilqis? Lunch yet?" ask Al across there.

Biqis silently did not answer. His heart felt touched by the attention Al gave. 'Why did you suddenly call me and ask this unimportant question? Did mama Queen say anything to him?' the inner girl.

"Hello, Bilqis."

"Eh, i. yes, Pa. Already," he replied stammering.

"Why did you suddenly come home? Said you cooked a lot with your mom and sister?"

"How did Papa know? Did mom say anything to you, Pa?"

"He's worried about you. Mama Nayla will be back when she says?"

"Say it's night, Pa" replied Bilqis, as it were.

"Mama Queen said that your mama's coming home tomorrow. Schedule in retreat. It failed to hold a seminar because there were obstacles. So, his return was also delayed. You go back home. Do not stay at home alone. In a moment, Dedi's gonna pick you up" said Al.

"Thank you, Pa" replied Bilqis.

"Yes, you get ready. There are still things you need to do," said Al and closed the call.

"Have you called her, Pa?" greet Clarissa who was sitting next to Al.

"Already, Honey. Now, we're going home, huh? It was late afternoon, Al said.

"But I still want to eat ramen in that tavern, Pa," Clarissa said, pointing to a crowded tavern.

"Darling, tomorrow you have to work early, and in the afternoon you go to college to collect your scripts. Have you done it?" al asked as he looked at his daughter with a stern, yet affectionate look.

Clarissa did not answer but continued to whine indistinctly like a ten-year-old boy and was singing her lips.

"You answer me first, Papa's question, honey. Don't think you can't see your schedule, you know!" Al continued to look at his daughter while slipping thinly.  'You are still a child. It's not time you took on this much responsibility. Just the two of you, without Berlyn, you finally showed me the other side of you, son. Your lost childish side is not yet the time, ' Inner Al.

The man smiled broadly. He stroked the tip of his daughter's head and bought her long, dense hair that was beautifully rolled back. 

"Come, let's go there first. But, promise me papa first, if that's the last place we'll go, okay?" al at the end.

That finally greeted their smile and the cheerful face of his daughter, Clarissa. It seems very clear, that the girl is very happy and happy. In the spirit of 45 girls holding the hand of his father and holding him while running towards the store.

"Darling, you don't have to run, son. Just walk, slow down!" reprimand Al to his daughter.

"Come, Pa. The worms in my stomach don't want to compromise" the hadith replied with a cheerful laugh.

Al finally compensated his daughter and ran a little. Because, there was indeed no other choice but to follow the will of his daughter this one. When will you go again, try? Are not opportunities like this rare? He will only stay three days in Japan.
