Gita gripped Axel's arm when he entered the ballroom. Axel, who understands Gita's current condition, soon meets the owner to congratulate her. Then he took Gita home.
“Master James, congratulations! Hope your company is growing well.” Axel.
“Wah turns out who came Mr. Felix's son. I also wish that your own Papa would come. Yes it's okay. Thank you for your prayers.” Answer Mr. James.
“Yes, sorry Sir. Papa is having an event.” Axel.
Suddenly when Axel wanted to say goodbye, it turned out that there were some people who also congratulated Mr. James. Axel knew him too. He finally bothered to say goodbye. But earlier he glanced at Gita whether it was okay. And Gita nodded as if she understood what Axel meant.
“Beautiful once Mr. Axel's wife. Introduce me Mike, one of your in-laws business partners also.” said a man named Mike, who is the age of Felix.
Gita simply nodded with a smile without welcoming the man's helping hand. Axel also apologized on the grounds that his wife was not feeling well. But Mr. Mike's response was a little different.
Axel also mingled with his Papa coworkers. Some are also of the same age as him. And during that time also Gita was always at his side with his hands holding his arms.
Suddenly, Gita felt her throat dry. He was eager to drink, but did not dare to make Axel disturbed because he was talking to his business partners. He saw the place where the dishes looked deserted. There were only one or two women who were drinking. He finally decided to drink himself.
“I'll take a drink for a while, huh?” Whisper Gita slowly.
“I take ya?” bargain Axel but Gita refuses.
Gita also headed for the drink. Then he took a glass of cold drink and immediately drank it on the spot. The thirst that he had been enduring had finally disappeared after drinking a glass of lemon tea.
“Are you very thirsty Miss Pretty?” ask a man who is suddenly behind her.
It was Mr. Mike's voice. Gita only nodded faintly and immediately left the man.
“Wait first! Why rush?” ask Mr. Mike with his devil smile. Even now his hand has managed to hold Gita's arm.
“To...please release.” Gita said nervously.
“Hey Miss, don't be nervous like that. I just want to have a casual conversation with you.” Said Mr. Mike.
Gita's body was already shaking violently. He took off Mr. Mike's hand violently and took a few steps back to hit the table where some drinks were served.
Pyarrr
The sound of several glasses fell to the floor due to the table that was hit by Gita. Then Gita took one of the glasses and broke it.
“Do not approach!! Or I'll kill you!” Gita threatens Mr. Mike while pointing at the glass he broke earlier.
Suddenly the mood was noisy. The man named Mike was also surprised to see the Gita's response which he thought was excessive. After that Axel immediately approached Gita to calm her down.
“Do not approach!” gita shouted again as Axel approached.
“Quiet! It's me Axel. I won't do anything with you.” Axel said and quickly his hand picked up the shards of glass that Gita had brought. And immediately hugged her.
“Looks like your wife is going crazy huh Mr Axel?” said Mr. Mike.
“Jaga talk you!” snapped Axel and immediately Mr. Mike fell silent.
Arriving in the car, Gita's body was still trembling. Axel still held his embrace. He did not know what happened to his wife with Mr. Mike. But what makes him surprised is to see the Gita's response as it is now.Suddenly his heart feels sliced to see it. Is that what Inez said. Why the Gita became like this. Moreover, all this is the impact of the incident that night.
“I'm sorry Gita. I'm sorry I neglected to take care of you. I promise I won't leave you.” Axel said softly while rubbing his head.
“I'm scared. He..he touched me... he was brash!!” gita's speech that was originally softened is now increasingly hysterical with crying.
“Till this is how your body reacts when someone touches you just a little bit. I'm sorry Gita. This is all because of me.” muttered Axel and increasingly tightened his embrace.
Axel didn't start his car engine. Even long enough he was in the car with Gita. Slowly the Gita's stuffing began to disappear. And the body that had been trembling had now begun to weaken because the Gita had fallen asleep. After that Axel put Gita in the chair next to him and slightly set his chair to make his sleep comfortable.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the apartment. Axel woke up the Gita for a long time. But there was no response at all. Finally he carefully carried her into his apartment unit, and laid her down in Gita's own room.
At this moment Axel was sitting pensively alone on the sofa of the living room. He was confused about what to do. Looks like the Gita does need special handling. But how. Will he not get angry. Remembering Mr. Mike had said it was crazy.
The next morning Gita woke up from her sleep. Suddenly he felt very lonely. As he remembered last night he was in someone's warm embrace. After successfully collecting his memories, Gita remembered the incident last night when a man touched his hand.Axel came to calm him down.
Tok tok tok tok
“Gita, are you awake?” ask Axel behind the door.
Without replying, Gita rushes up and opens the door to her room. Instantly, he immediately rushed into Axel's embrace.
“Don't leave me! I'm afraid of that guy.” Said Gita who was currently in Axel's arms.
“Tenace. You'll be safe. And I promise I won't leave you.” Answer Axel.
Axel should be happy because Gita is slowly accepting him. Not even reluctant to hug him like this, but this hug feels different. Hugs when the Gita is in a bad state. Axel's heart ached again considering the events last night.
“Yes already, better now you take a shower first. After that we had breakfast together.” Axel said after breaking his embrace.
Gita nodded obediently then went back inside her room. Axel waited for his food order to arrive.
Now Gita is sitting in the dining room with Axel. The gita starts to spoon the food into her mouth. Even he was so greedy to eat it, considering last night he had not had time to eat anything. Axel smiled at her.
“Thank you, Brother. Thank you last night for helping me.” Gita said after finishing her meal.
Axel's tears suddenly filled his eyes upon hearing Gita's heartfelt words. Even Gita called him by calling him “Kak”. A word that the Gita has not spoken for a long time.
Then Axel nodded while gently holding Gita's hand.
