Audrey:

Aunt, Audrey wants to come with a ring.

Auntie Tika:

Yes, dear, aunt wait.

Audrey:

Ok deh.

Tika smiled reading a chat from Audrey. Then type something.

...

"Gustaf, I need you to go check out that beachfront resort. I can't come because I have to see Bram immediately." said Aaron.

"Okay sir, tomorrow morning I'll leave.

Trings....

Auntie Tika:

Your girl will come to return the ring.

Aaron smiled reading the incoming message.

"Finally, these few days I've missed you" Aaron said in a photo of Audrey on his phone.

Aaron wants to run to his car but can't. There are some jobs he has to finish first.

...

"Good afternoon aunt."

"Hi Audrey, good afternoon. Come in." said Tika as she saw Audrey in the doorway.

"Sorry Audrey just got this ring back." Audrey sat on the sofa in front of Tika's desk.

"You must be very busy."

"Not really aunt. Just accompany the relatives in the hospital."

"What pain?" Tika closed the laptop and sat down in front of Audrey.

"Three days ago she was persecuted by her husband, and to this day she has not been sober."

"Oo, is that why you rushed home after the photo shoot?" search Tika.

"Bu-not aunty." Audrey blushing. "The persecution happened in the afternoon."

"Why is your face so red. Hm? I'm just saying shoot." Tika's tease.

"Auntie ihh."

Tika chuckled at Audrey's misbehavior.

"Why should you be ashamed, dear?"

"Audrey is rarely that close to the opposite sex other than brother and papa, so nervous auntie. Even if it's close to men, it's best to exercise." Audrey was honest.

"Not nervous about falling in love?" Tika.

"What does falling in love feel like?" ask Audrey plain.

Hahahahhahaha....

Spontaneous Tika laughed getting such a question.

"Tante, don't be. Audrey's gonna be embarrassed." Audrey's face is getting red.

"Sorry baby, sorry." Tika stopped her laughter." All right, when Aunt fell in love with aunt's husband, it felt....."

"Is anyone in love?" suddenly Aaron interrupted, with a meaningful smile he looked at Audrey.

Her right hand, which was in a clenched pants pocket, held the turmoil inside her chest as she looked at Audrey's eyes.

"Hi Aaron, what a coincidence. Is there any wind you stopped by?"

"I want to return this auntie ring." Aaron took out a small box from inside his suit pocket. "I don't think my bride is here either." Audrey could only duck.

"Sama dong, Audrey also returned the ring." Tika smiled amusedly. "Come in."

"Ah yes, this is Audrey's ring" she said as she pulled the box out of her backpack. Tika accepted and directly exited the room carrying the two rings.

"How are you doing Audrey?" greet Aaron after sitting in front of the girl.

"Good brother. Brother how are you?"

"Not too good."

"Oi. . ."

Aaron was puzzled, that was all that was sliding out of Audrey's mouth.

"You don't want to know why?"

"Do I have to know?"

"certain."

Audrey frowned, looking at Aaron seriously.

"I don't think I need to know, brother. It has nothing to do with me."

"There's." Aaron stared intently, Audrey gasped.

"All right then." Audrey relented, she did not calm down with Aaron's gaze. "Why isn't my sister's condition so good?"

"Because I missed you."

Audrey flinched, a red hue coiled around the top of her cheeks, gradually spreading to her neck and ears.

Aaron's getting fatigued, wanting to feel like he's kissing Audrey's cheek right now. But he also felt sorry to see Audrey embarrassed and misbehaved like that.

"Sorry Audrey, I'm kidding. Your face is red as a tomato." Aaron smiled gently.

"Sister Aaron sucks." Audrey pursed her lips, making Aaron short of breath.

Patience Aaron, patience...Must be strong, must be strong, must be strong. Aaron cast a spell in his heart as he continued to stare at Audrey's lips.

Aaron and Audrey immediately took it and immediately drank it.

"You two are thirsty?" Tika looked at the two people in surprise.

"Yes, thirsty inside out."

"What do you mean, Aaron?" Aaron just kept staring at Audrey with his ignorant smile.

"Drey?"

"Don't ask Audrey aunt. Because Audrey doesn't understand Aaron's words either." she replied as she placed her drink on the table.

"I mean thirsty outside yeah thirsty drinking water. Thirsty on the inside, thirsty for affection." he blinked one eye at Audrey.

Seeing that Audrey reflexively throws the sofa cushion towards Aaron. Aaron caught it.

"Oo, you've got the courage to be with brother." Aaron pretended to be angry, he stood up while still holding the pillow.

"Who told the dreadlocks from earlier." Audrey threesome.

Aaron threw the pillow back at Audrey. Audrey managed to deflect the pillow. Then he quickly picked up the pillow lying on the floor and threw Aaron back.

Aaron caught the pillow again. Audrey laughed, she immediately stood up and ran to Tika's back when she saw Aaron looking at her with anxiety.

"Audrey, come. Face me, don't hide behind auntie."

"No way." Audrey sticking out her tongue.

Tika chuckled at the interaction of the two guests who incidentally adults.

"You, look out." Aaron looked at his aunt with a pleading gaze.

Tika laughed, she immediately shifted, Audrey was startled and quickly turned around. Aaron had caught him, hugged him from behind.

With one move Aaron turned Audrey's body and immediately held Audrey's cheek. Pinched that cheek with anxiety.

"Awww, sick, sick." Screeches Audrey.

"That's the punishment for daring to throw me with a pillow." he took off his hand and suddenly he flicked his finger on Audrey's forehead. "And it's a punishment for making me sleepless."

"www!" Audrey pursed her lips. "Silver brother who has trouble sleeping why I'm being punished." said his mouth.

Duh, that lip. Help me God, he lamented in his heart.

"Already, already. You are like a child." said Tika on the sidelines of his laughter.

Audrey stepped towards her seat while tidying up her clothes and hair. Aaron looked at the girl, and he wanted to hug Audrey again.

"Tante, Audrey's coming home. Thanks for the time and drink." He took his bag. He was unaware of Aaron's change in face.

"Dear, would you like to go home?"

"No aunt, Audrey's going to the hospital first."

"Be careful." Tika quickly stood up holding onto Aaron's arm which looked disappointed that Audrey was about to leave.

"Yes aunt. Bye auntie, Bye sister ugly." Audrey laughed seeing Aaron widen his eyes.

"What's the aunt?" ask Aaron after they think Audrey's gone far.

"When did you start loving her?" Tika did not mince words.

"That's it, which was obvious the first time I looked at her I felt time stop, and the others fade away. Only he was the one who was clearly visible in front of my eyes."

"Like when you fell in love with...Susie?" tika's voice slowed down at the end of the sentence.

"More or less, but this feels different. Audrey's different." Aaron lowered.

"You're still sad to hear the name Lusi?"

"No aunt. A dead man will not live again even if I keep crying."

Aaron smiled at the tant. "My life continues. Take it easy, aunt."

"Tante hope you don't play Audrey like the other girls after Lusi."

"Tante, I just seduced them, and asked them to accompany me for a drink. That's it, nothing more. I never even touched their hands let alone kissed."

"Good, 'cause I wouldn't take care of your injuries if you played Audrey." Tika threatened.

"How does auntie mean?"

"No, you'll know later."

Audrey increased the speed of her car after receiving a call from her brother. He wants to arrive at the hospital soon, according to Rangga, his friends have also come all.

He ran along the hallway, until he arrived at the treatment room with a gasp.

"How's it?" the question was on Isabela who stood up to greet him with a bottle of mineral water.

"Sister Riana has already opened her eyes."

Audrey sees the doctors and nurses are crowding Riana, there is Rangga there.

But he did not come closer, he chose to wait for the medical team to complete its task.

"Why are you running?" Yura handed the tissue to Audrey.

"Thank you Luna." Audrey wiped the sweat on her face. "I guess Riana's critical again."

"And why is there a red mark on your cheek? Someone pinched him, huh?" Nabila.

"Eh.that's.." Audrey was confused as to how to answer.

"Ciee.cieeee...." Isabella elbowed him and chuckled softly.

Audrey just smiled shyly, while her companions closed their mouths holding back laughter.
