Love Heals Wounds
16. Asking for Help

Tok.dok...

"Log in, not locked." Audrey gave an interduction without turning her head from the sketch of the necklace she was working on.

"Audrey, what time are you up?" Papa stepped in astonished to see Audrey already working this early.

"Around four o'clock dawn. Again got an idea, and a few minutes ago Aunt Tika asked for a necklace design again" he explained while continuing the work.

"Well, today you're going to town Y, maybe for three days." Sebastian told her schedule of activities, Audrey nodded.

"Be careful there. We have breakfast together." Audrey looked at her papa with a perfectly grown smile.

Sebastian just nodded, then kissed his daughter's forehead and walked out.

...

Audrey drives her favorite Rubicon on her way to Tika's The Jewel jewelry store. He prefers to send directly rather than send using electronic mail. They want to avoid digital traces.

Audrey parked her car behind a hidden store, then stepped in through the employee's door.

The security guard already knew Audrey, as Tika was working with Rangga to hire a security officer.

"Good afternoon aunt." said Audrey as she walked into Tika's room.

"Good day my dear." They hugged each other and kissed the cheeks.

"Order auntie here." Audrey handed him the map she was carrying. Tika observed with astonished eyes looking at Audrey's work.

"You can always amaze aunty" she said, gently holding Audrey's hand.

"As usual, aunt."

"Of course, we're all keeping our mouths shut about who you are."

"Tante is the most understanding." Audrey smiled with satisfaction.

"It just so happens that you're here, Auntie wants to show you something."

Tika pulled Audrey to follow her towards a room.

"This was your design last year, sweet isn't it. We made him a pair, for the wedding ring."

Audrey's face sparkled. "Geez, aunt, this is beautiful."

"You try it." Without permission Tika put the ring on Audrey's ring finger. "Perfect." said.

Audrey just smiled.

"It's better if there's a partner." Tika seduces.

"Ah aunt, always like that." Audrey blushed while taking off the ring earlier.

"Mrs, sorry. The model couldn't come because it suddenly fell ill." an employee came to tell.

"Duh, how is this. It's all set, I can't put it off anymore." Tika nodded her head, she really did not like this news.

"Have I come at the wrong time?" suddenly the heavy voice of a young man shocked everyone.

The voice that made Audrey's heart seem to jump out.

"Ah....My dear Aaron, my beloved nephew." Tika hugged Aaron warmly. "What wind did you suddenly stop by, hmm?"

"There's something I'd like to tell my aunt, so I deliberately took some time today." Aaron smiled sweetly.

"Oh, you stopped by because there was a need. So if there's no need you'll forget this meeting?" Aunt Tika pretends to sulk.

"It's not like it's my aunt, I can't possibly forget my beloved aunt." Aaron hugged his aunt.

"Sorry madam, so how?" the employee ventured to ask because he knew that their time was not much.

"Prepare everything, the model already exists." Tika smiled meaningfully. "Help aunty for today huh." tika asked, Aaron just nodded.

"Audrey, where you are going, baby." Tika scolded Audrey who quietly turned around to leave.

"Eeee." Audrey grimaced because she was found to be leaving without saying goodbye.

"Today aunt needs you the most, don't go, Ok. Or aunt will..."

"All right, I'll do anything for auntie." sergeant Audrey quickly approached Aunt Tika.

"Sweet girl." Tika pulled Audrey's nose in a fit of anxiety.

Ever since Tika's aunt mentioned Audrey's name, Aaron paid his full attention to the girl. His eyes did not change for a second.

Audrey realized that, her fingers did not stop squeezing each other since, she was really nervous.

"Joan, this is your girl. Dress him up as best you can, hurry up." Tika called the fairy. "And you're Aaron, follow aunt." he said.

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, she could escape from Aaron's gaze which made her body seem boneless.

Joan, the make up artist, unceasingly praised Audrey for the girl's natural beauty. So it does not require excessive makeup to dress Audrey.

Audrey's long wavy black hair was allowed to unravel and was given hairvines of small flowers made of crystal.

The tile fabric with sequins applied to the arms and shoulders exposed Audrey's beautiful skin in an elegant manner.

Joan took Audrey's hand to drive her to the photo shoot. The Jewel will be melaunching jewelry for the bride including the ring that Tika showed Audrey earlier.

Upon arrival near Tika, Aaron and the crew, Joan releases her hand and steps in front of Audrey.

"Emmmmm...Mmmm....."Joan cleared her throat.

Upon seeing all eyes on her, he shifted his position, revealing a timidly smiling Audrey.

"Wow, it's beautiful." The crew was amazed.

Tika's smile expanded perfectly, she moved quickly closer to Audrey.

As Aaron freezes, he is unable to take his eyes off Audrey. His chest was pounding erratically, his face unable to hide admiration.

"Geez baby, you're perfect." Tika praised Audrey.

"Thank you aunt." Audrey blushed in embarrassment, "Emm, but auntie's a photo..."

"Just calm down, your faces will be blurred when printed later." Tika understood Audrey's worries. "Come, your partner is waiting."

Tika took Audrey to take her to Aaron who was still silently sculpting.

"Duhhh, fascinated by this." Joan teases Aaron. Aaron lowered his head for a moment and scratched his head slowly.

"You're, uh, really pretty, Audrey." The compliment finally came off Aaron's lips.

"Lho, do you know each other?" Tika surprised. Audrey and Aaron just nodded.

"Good, it'll be easier in the future." Tika smiled meaningfully.

"Sister, please stop looking at me" Audrey said as Tika went to talk to the photographer.

"Sorry, I can't." Aaron lowered his tone. "You amaze me, you have to take responsibility."

"What do you mean, sister." Audrey stutters.

"Hey bride, come here, we'll start shooting." exclaimed the style director.

Aaron brought his arm closer and got a welcome from Audrey. They stepped together with the smiles of everyone in the room.

"Don't be nervous." cried the photographer.

"Be closer, yes, if possible, the groom embraces the bride's waist while showing off the ring" the style director said.

"Good." praise the photographer.

"The pose remains, but the forehead is put together yes." continued the style director.

Audrey's heart was pounding, making her tremble even more.

"Hey, I'm not gonna eat you, don't be so nervous." Aaron is aware of Audrey's condition.

He tried to calm the girl before him even though he himself desperately calmed the rumble in his chest.

"Just close your eyes." Audrey obeyed Aaron.

Aaron's forehead stuck to his forehead, until Audrey felt Aaron's gust. He became calmer, without realizing Audrey was smiling.

Seeing that corner of Aaron's lips lifted, he looked happy.

The photo session is both over. Now that Audrey poses for herself with the jewelry she uses, Aaron takes the opportunity to photograph the girl using his cell phone camera.

Even on the sidelines of the break, Aaron asked someone to take a photo of Audrey secretly.

Before the next session began, Joan again improved Audrey's makeup. But it did not last long because Joan had to prepare clothes for the next session.

Aaron brings drinking water equipped with straws when Audrey is left alone in the backdrop of the wedding.

"You tired?" tanyakanya.

"Slightly, I was very nervous" Audrey said softly.

"Do I have a cause?"

"So, I'm very confident." Audrey threw out a face.

Aaron tidied up the dangling haircut near Audrey's eyes.

"Because I'm so Audrey."

Audrey turned her head, Aaron's eyes felt very deep. He seemed to drift inside the gaze and let Aaron's hand remain on the side of his face.

Tika soon asked the photographer to capture the moment. Then he smiled gently, as if I should ask the two of them often. Aunt will help you Aaron. He murmured in his heart.
