Moments later, Maverick stopped in front of the very end of the room. Carved cartoon figures on the pink painted door leaf, making anyone know that it is a little girl's room. No exception Elle, without asking any questions he was immediately sure it was Aurora's room.
"Kinan! Kinan!" call Maverick and knock on the door. Kinan is the young woman who takes care of Aurora.
"Shortly, sir," said Kinan from within.
A moment later, Kinan opened the door and greeted the two masters politely.
"Sleep in your room tonight, let me take care of Aurora!" maverick's orders.
"Good, Sir." After nodding obediently, Kinan stepped away and headed downstairs.
"Looking at his expression, it seems Erick is very worried about Aurora's state," Inner Elle.
Maverick and Elle enter the pink-dominant room. The walls are filled with pictures and special decorations of small children. In the middle of the room, there was a big size bed filled with dolls. Beside him was a smaller bed. There were no dolls on the second bed, only pillows, bolsters, and one blanket. Elle guessed it was Kinan's bed.
Elle continued to step up and approached the bed. There, the tiny figure of Aurora was sleeping among her beloved dolls.
"She is my daughter, her name is Aurora Shane. I hope you can love him sincerely" Maverick said.
Elle nodded while muttering. Then, memicing and looking more observant the face of the girl who is now her daughter. Although it looks only the head area, but Elle understands that she is pale and thin.
"Is he sick?" elle asked slowly so as not to wake Aurora.
"Yes." Yeah." Maverick nodded. Then, go up to the bed and sit next to Aurora.
"Have you been to the doctor?" ask Elle. He also sat on the bed.
"Often."
Elle frowned, "Did it hurt for a long time?"
"Yes, it's been five years. He's been sick since ... was born" Maverick said.
Elle was flabbergasted, then looked back at the girl's face with pity. He also guessed what disease he had.
Out of curiosity, Elle ventured to ask.
"May I know what pain he is?"
Maverick took a deep breath before replying. Then, looked at Elle fixedly. A little heavy said about Aurora's disease, but what's possible, now Elle is his wife. As a mother, she must know about the state of her child.
"I'm sorry, I just got sassy" said Elle. He's not feeling good because Maverick seems to mind a lot. "No need to answer. I'll take care of him though__"
"HIV AIDS."
Elle flabbergasted. He closed his mouth to not scream. The two words that Maverick had just uttered were truly unexpected. A child as small as Aurora has a deadly disease.
"HIV, where did he get the disease?" inner Elle with a fast beating heart.
From several articles he had read, most cases of HIV that infect young children were transmitted by his mother. Although there are several other factors, such as contaminated syringes or blood transfusions, but that is only a small part.
This time not only was his heart beating fast, but his eyes were also heating up. The longer, his gaze grew blurry with tears.
"You should not be afraid, HIV is not transmitted by touch. You won't catch it even if you take it every day" Maverick said. He noticed the change in Elle's face.
"I, I knew he wouldn't infect me." Elle answered nervously. "Don't you know what I'm worried about is you. As a husband and wife, the chance of contracting is very large. Although using safety, but it does not guarantee a hundred percent" he continued in the heart.
Maverick looked at the face of Elle who currently looked anxious. A little Maverick can guess what he's thinking.
"It's late, you go to sleep! Next to this is my room and next to it is no man's room. Both have the same size and furniture, you just choose to sleep in which room. Tonight ... I'll sleep here" Maverick said. He pretended not to understand Elle's worries.
"Mmmm, mmmm, yes."
Elle was confused. He doesn't know where to sleep. Maverick's face looked flat now, Elle could not guess which choice the man expected. As a result, Elle remained unmoved in place for a long time.
"A few hours ago, I saw you still hold love for your ex. But, it seems like now you want to spend the first night with me. Is that my charm?" sindir Maverick.
Elle flinched and immediately moved for a moment, "I'm going to sleep. Good night."
Without waiting for an answer, Elle stepped out quickly, even half-running. Maverick glanced at him with a smile. She knew Elle was a gentle-hearted woman, evident from her attitude tonight. The arrogance he used to show, just now softened just from looking at one of his dark sides.
"Western words, all you know is a fingernail. But, your sympathies are already that big, Elle," Maverick murmured.
Then he got up and closed the door. Then, return to the bed and kiss Aurora softly on the forehead.
"Whatever your dreams tonight are, they are not worth tomorrow. Honey, Daddy's brought Mommy home. You must be happy, right?" Maverick muttered softly as he combed Aurora's hair with his fingers.
There was a sense of pain when he recalled the lies he had done to his daughter. However, how else, he had no other choice. Devara leaves Aurora too far, so Maverick can't take her home. In fact, the abundant treasures he had were useless. Devara kept going from his side.
Meanwhile, Elle goes into a room that she says is no man. He followed his heart and chose the room.
"If you may wish, may I be the occupant of this room until later, until the age of this marriage is over. Honestly ... touched Erick without risk I am not willing, especially if .. like this," said Elle to himself.
"Maybe the association was too free, so get the disease. Is this possible ... is this why Devara and Erick split up?" Elle thought hard.
"Ahh, I don't know. Whatever happened between them, Aurora was clearly the one who was at the most disadvantage. He has HIV, it's clear his future is bleak. How sorry is Aurora." Elle spoke alone again.
Because there was no drowsiness, Elle decided to enjoy the outside atmosphere. He walked towards the balcony and stood near the terrace. His eyes looked down, looking at Maverick's courtyard which looked beautiful even in dim lighting.
Next, Elle looked up and stared at the gloomy sky. In his shade, there was one person he loved very much, who would either match up with him or not. Elle's heart aches when she remembers the sweet love that ended tragically.
"The chances of us getting back together are very few, Rey, almost none. If Erick touches me, then it's all over. I don't deserve you anymore. But, if Erick doesn't do it .. ahh, that's impossible" Elle said with a bitter smile.
She was aware of what she looked like, beautiful and charming. Which man is able to silence, while the relationship has been recognized and day and night stay.
"Ah."
Elle let out a rough breath. Then, sit on the floor and lean on the terrace. In a troubled mind, Elle covered her face with a palm.
Seriate...
