Don't (Blame) Love
WILL DIE 11

"Mama! Are you busy?" bilqis asked Queen who happened to be relaxing while reading a book about psychology that she borrowed from Axel.

The queen looked gracefully. Staring at a girl wearing a cotton skirt of milk brown along the knee and a white top of a short-sleeved shirt with a heart in the middle. "No, Honey. What was? Sit, here!" he said while patting the place next to him. he happened to be sitting in a long chair located in his backyard.

"Bilqis ask dong, Ma. Try this Bilqis bring two different models and color kebaya. Approximately which is good for graduation ceremony for Acel tomorrow," said the girl while opening the contents of the bag underneath.

Queen smiled stifledly. He took a peek at the contents of the bag that Bilqis placed on a long curry between them. Then, a pastel purple and dusty pink kebaya is removed by Bilqis. Then, the girl showed Queen and asked her opinion. Which is better.

After a long time Queen noticed the kebaya, the woman grabbed one by one the kebaya that Bilqis brought. He saw and researched it and then dropped the option on a pastel purple kebaya. "You just wear this, honey," he said later.

"This one, Ma?" bilqis replied a little hesitantly but her eyes showed a twinkle of happiness. Because, the Queen did not just choose. But, so attentive carefully.

Queen did not answer with words. He only smiled and nodded gently while looking at Bilqis affectionately.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll be in uniform with Berlyn. Because in each of these clothes there are two sizes. One for me, one more size for Berlin. Thank you, Mama," said Bilqis in delight. Then kissed Queen's right cheek, and went running all the way into the house.

Queen who found the behavior of her stepson from her husband. He just smiled while shaking his head. The woman did not expect, if at the age that is no longer young, now she has many children even though she did not conceive and gave birth to her own. Speaking of the child, he suddenly remembered Clarissa. Al promised that later this month he would take her to Japan with Berlyn to meet her in-laws and one of her twin daughters there. suddenly he remembered Al who now said he was still outside the city.

'I want to call and ask if he's coming home tomorrow? Because Axel's graduation is tomorrow. While Al still no news at all, ' Inner Queen.

The book he put on the table. Then the woman went into the house, and took her cell phone which she charged near the tv room. Then she called her husband.

Twice he tried to call but his call was not picked up even the last number to which he was going was inactive. Queen's mind was immediately troubled and could not calm she began to think about her husband.

'What the hell is going on, Al with you? What are you hiding from me? Why are you like this? why can't you be contacted, and where are you, anyway?' he said in his heart.

"There shouldn't be anything bad going on with my husband, right? She must be okay. Maybe he's out of battery. Because, it is not usually like this," he murmured alone.

“Chen, how? Have you arranged a flight for tonight to Jakarta? I have to come back soon, because tomorrow there is an event,” said Al while holding a flat object and sticking it on his right cheek.

“Good, Sir. I have arranged everything according to your wishes. But, has your condition improved?” ask the man from across. He seems to be very concerned about the physical condition of his big boss.

“I've had a total rest for three days, I should also be fine, right?” al said casually.

“Good. I have all done as ordered. Later at three in the morning I will pick you up,” said the man.

“Papa will really be back tomorrow?” clarissa asked who had listened to Al's conversation with her private pilot, Chen. A Japanese man who worked with his father for twenty years.

“Iya, Darling. Two days In Indonesia, papa will bring your mama and sister here, how?” al said with a smile and grabbed his daughter's shoulder and hugged her.

Clarissa just smiled bitterly. He actually did not bear the condition of his father. But, he also could not do anything. Her mother there must also continue to wonder what really happened to her husband. Because this pain is only he and his mother who know. If only her mother and sister knew, surely they would not be this worried, would not continue to ask when her husband would return.

“You, why? Smile, Honey. Papa this is okay. You heard yourself, what the doctor said yesterday, didn't you? Papa has been declared completely healed after doing treatment for one month. After all, the pain is still not severe, right? That's one of the reasons papa kept it a secret from your mama. Because papa is sure to be able to fight this disease,” said Al again. Comforting daughter.

“iya, Clarissa believes equally papa. Clarissa is just sad.we can not enjoy roadside snacks anymore like before,” Clarissa said with a smile. But his face was still flat.

“You're this, how naughty, huh?” al said as he pinched his daughter's nose and grabbed her.

Clarissa returned his papa's embrace. His lips still curled upwards forming a smile. But, his eyes started to water. He said it was just a lie. Covering feelings. Because, he did not want his father burdened by anything. Especially with his sadness.

“Pa, it's noon. You rest, because, tomorrow you will travel far,” Clarissa said after wiping her tears.

Al who could never refuse the request of his daughter, especially Clarissa, he just assented. anyway, his request was also solely for his own good. “Good, Honey. Papa also began to feel a little sleepy. Thanks, yes for everything. You're only ten years old. But, you're very devoted to taking care of a sick papa like a grown girl.” Al looked amazed and full of joy at Clarissa.

“It has become my duty, Pa. You desperately slam bones for me and Berlyn. Worst of all, you and your mother endured the pain and longed to be separated from me. I've been fine with Ama all this time. But, not with you guys, right?” said the little girl. made Al even more moved.

“Pa, let's have dinner first. I've prepared satay

and goat gulai, as well as date juice, for you,” Clarissa said.

“You cooked it?”

“Ya, but still helped by ama,” replied the girl while

laughingly.

“Good, papa will eat a lot, if it's papa princess cuisine,”

al said then he moved while holding the shoulder of his daughter who embraced him

from the side with the pampered.

After breakfast, Al headed straight to his room. Returnees

he activated his phone. Sure enough, there are many chat and

a call from his wife. Doesn't want his wife to be sad and thinking

about him, the man immediately called him. It's not too late. Especially in

Japan is also two hours faster with Jakarta.  His wife must not be sleeping.

Unexpectedly, only a few of his calls were connected, though,

Queen picked up her phone.

“Hallo, Al. Where are you now? Why, all day

your number is hard to call?” ask Queen happily, and a sense of panic

concomitantly.

“Sorry. I ran out of battery, honey. Because I'm surevey

on the field, and did not get to see hp. What are you again?” ask Al gently

while breaking his body.

“Nothing. I just accompanied the kids to study and

prepare for tomorrow. Can you go home?” ask Queen again, with

little doubt.

“Sure, Dear. I'm going home. You get some rest.

I also feel very sleepy. Maybe I'm tired,” said Al when he saw mami

Jeslyn is in the doorway of her room which she happens to not close.

“Good, take good care of yourself. Good night,” said Queen

before ending the call.

“Sure. So do you, huh? Mcuah.” Al

immediately turned off his call and turned to his mother and let her

the woman who is now getting older and wrinkled to enter.

Slowly, Jeslyn went inside and sat down on the edge

bed. He began to give advice to his son. Until, the clock has shown the beat

nine nights local time, the woman said goodbye and asked Al to rest immediately, just in case he could not sleep on the plane. Because, if it has arrived in Indonesia, he is sure. His son would not be able to rest enough. Because his son-in-law did not know about Al's true condition.

her children. He saw Axel begin to climb the stairs dressed in a suit that he chose five days ago. The Indonesian, German and Canadian man looks more handsome and dashing with the clothes, not to mention later, when he wears a toga in his graduation event. It must have shone his authority.

Quren smiles welcome Axel “You're ready, Xel?” ask Queen. When the teenager stood nearby.

“Already, Ma. Breakfast is special once,” said Axel when

see grilled salmon, and squid pasture sauce and stir-fry a variety of vegetables without soy sauce and sauce neatly served on the table.”

“Really? Mama think this is normal.The special is today in for you,” replied Queen while smiling at Axel. While his hand

busy scooping food for Berlyn and Adriel.

From inside Berlyn's room, Bilqis suddenly appears. Seems

the girl just finished her shower. But, still wearing casual clothes.

“Cie.. who wants gradiation, good luck, congratulations, Brother?” bilqis said as he sat near Axel.

“Let's just say it,” timpal Axel while spooning

rice in his plate.

“Talking more than once is okay, right? Alright, kok,” replied Bilqis.

“Iya, it's up to you,” chimpal Axel who impressed relented.

“Already. Stop arguing! You guys have breakfast, okay? Axels. Ye

do not be late, later, we will definitely come,” Queen said. Although he himself hesitated, Al could actually come what not. Her husband called last night too. To date, he has not been contacted.

Axel just silently obeys the Queen's orders. Actually he wants to

asking about papa Al. But, he didn't dare. Because, seeing the look on the face of his adoptive mother he could already feel the sadness felt by the woman.

“Assalamualaikum!”

Instantly everything that barda on the dining table refused. There, in

the living room and dining room stands a man in a white shirt and a blue tie with classic box-brain motifs. Hand

his right defied the briefcase, while his left hand carried his suit.

“Papa!” shouted Adriel, Bilqis and Axel. But Adriel is

whose voice sounded so loud. Apparently the arrival of the man immediately changed the atmosphere of breakfast that is always quiet. Yes, silence. Must be just a question through sign language that Berlyn threw at his mother, where papa.

The other with Berlyn who can't talk, so see

his papa had arrived, the little girl immediately jumped up and asked for his papa sling.

“How are you doing, Honey?” al said as he walked to the table

eat after putting the briefcase and suit he was carrying earlier.

“We are fine, Pa,” replied Bilqis and Adriel. Cementra

Axel was silent. It was so happy to see Al arrive. Amongst pleased

and moved as well.but, he just kept quiet and remained calm.

“Honey, come down. Back to your stool. Let papa too

breakfast,” said Queen quietly to Berlyn who was still reluctant to get off her papa sling.

The little girl smiled, and asked to come down obediently. Although

he actually misses his father. It's been almost two weeks that I've barely been home.

“You sit down and continue eating ya, darling?” al lirih

while peeking at Berlyn's cheek.

The girl nodded and nodded while looking at her face

his papa.

Berlyn was silent for a moment. Chew the food slowly. It became

thinking, he who is not up to two weeks apart with his father alone is like this misses him. What about Clarissa in Japan? Three days papa was there yesterday he must be very happy. But, it was just acting for a moment and

meanwhile, after that he will certainly also cry.as mature as any mindset, still he is a ten-year-old child, who was born five minutes earlier than him.

“Pa, Mom. Axel left first, huh? Axel wait on campus,” pampit Axel suddenly. Breaking up Berlyn's daydream thinking of sister

his twin.

“Yes, you be careful on the road, Xel! Wait-wait us. Plans, plans,

we will leave with Alex and Aunt Zahara later,”, said Al while embracing Axel and patting his back.

“Thank you very much, Pa!” axel exclaimed softly while replying

the man's embrace.he was deeply moved, and did not think that it would be like this

so. If there's anyone she deserves to ride in her house, it's

it should be his own omnya. About Alex. The only real sister who

owned by his late mother. But, he himself also had a heritage house

from both of his parents first.

It's just, he couldn't possibly have lived alone there. It's too

afraid after knowing under the dining table there is a special tunnel that connects

with a basement that made his late biological father as a place

a massacre of women similar to his late mother. Because of psyco's attitude

his father had it anyway, he had to lose his mother in a tragic way

eke. In fact, also his stepfather who happened to be similar to his late biological father also died because he tried hard to protect his mother, and became a victim

as a result of my revenge from his own mother. Grandma Dian, step-grandmother of Axel and Adriel.

‘Mama, Papa. Did you see me from nature? I

graduated with a bachelor of mathematics S1. In fact, I'm also going to be a lecturer. Is

this is pretty proud for you guys?’ the man was driving his car.

At first the teenager wanted to go to the funeral of his parents first. But, because the time is very tight. So, he just undoes it. he can

come later, after the graduation is over. Afterwards, he arranged for time to go to Jogja, sending prayers and flower arrangements to eat his stepfather, Chandra. Maybe even eat her step-grandmother. For he has promised to forgive, to take revenge for his own good. Even if it's very difficult. However, should. Because according to the research he read, most Psycopaths are those who have a grudge in their heart. Of course, he didn't want to.
