Love Heals Wounds
34. Streets

Sebastian pacing back and forth in his hotel room. He was not calm because some days he could not talk to his daughter. Finally, he decided to contact Yura.

"Hello Ra." said as soon as his phone call was received by the girl.

"Hello om, how are you?" yura replied as calmly as possible.

"Good news. Yura, is Audrey with you?"

Yura held her breath, she had already guessed this question while looking at the screen of her phone. But still, he was very nervous after hearing this question directly from the mouth of Om Sebastian.

"Audrey is going to town B om. There is a villa belonging to the aunt Tika's family there." Yura replied honestly without telling the whole incident.

"Yes, I know the place. Audrey's hard to call." Sebastian breathed. "Yura, do you know what Tika and Audrey did there?"

"I don't understand Om either." This time he did not know the needs of Audrey there. Because Audrey didn't know the purpose of their departure when Aaron took her there.

"Okay, thank you Ra." Sebastian was silent, a moment later. "Did Rangga call you Yura?"

"Eh, Brother Rangga. Ummm..Be-yet Om." Yura's nervous.

Sebastians slow sounding at the end of the phone call. "Why are you nervous, son?"

"That's it, it's-it's not om. Just surprised that suddenly I changed the subject."

"Well then, if Rangga calls please tell him not to waste time."

"Yes Om, I will tell you" said Yura obediently without understanding the meaning of the message.

Sebastian smiled after saying goodbye and hung up the phone. He had been observing his eldest son lately, and it was not difficult to guess who the girl who had disturbed Rangga's heart and mind.

Because Rangga rarely reply to messages and make video calls with the opposite sex outside the needs of the office, or family of course. And several times he caught Rangga contacting Yura.

"This time I won't let anyone ruin my son's relationship again." Sebastian is determined.

Audrey was still lounging in her bed. He had been bathing and had been tidy for a long time, but he was reluctant to leave the room. Especially if you have to meet Doctor Bram and Om Bagas.

Geck..Geck..Geck..

"Audrey, aunty bring your morning meal dear." aunty Tika's voice on the other side of the room door.

Audrey jumped up and immediately opened the door.

"Aante!" girang. He moved towards the left side of Tika and hugged the woman.

"What's Drey?" Tika was surprised by Audrey's reaction.

"Why didn't yesterday come with us?"

"Kan Om Isak there is still a little work. Didn't aunt tell you?" Tika frowning. "Come, eat first." Tika walked past Audrey and placed a tray of food and juice on a table by the window.

Audrey followed Tika with no excitement.

"Yes, I know. But still, I think yesterday would have been better if there was an aunt."

Tika squinted and stared straight ahead, passing Audrey's body.

"Do you keep teasing Aaron?"

Audrey flinched and looked back, looking as if Aaron was smiling knots.

"No aunt, maybe Audrey's awkward because there's no girlfriends." she said, Audrey put on an upset face. But he kept quiet and sat down and started eating.

"After eating we go for a walk. Aunt wait outside."

"Yes aunty." Audrey smiled faintly.

Tika dragged Aaron out of the room.

"What did you do to him?" Tika did not feel stale anymore as the two of them stood on one of the terraces.

"I.." Aaron's face looked confused, while Tika's bead did not move from Aaron's eyes.

"I what?!" Tika is impatient.

"I kissed him." Aaron smiled awkwardly and looked down. "Then when he arrived, papa asked him to marry me." Aaron scratched his head that was not itching.

"What's this?" bagas' voice sounded from behind them. Tika turned her head and immediately put on a hostile face.

"Basic, father and son are the same!" the hardic. "I really want Audrey to be the daughter-in-law of this family. But not in this aggressive way!" Tika was angry, her face was reddened.

"I don't want Aaron to lose his chance." Aaron nodded in agreement with his father's opinion.

"But if it's too aggressive and urgent. Audrey could get scared and run." Aaron nodded his head again, this time agreeing with his aunt.

"I didn't mean to scare her Tika. At least let him know we like him." Aaron nodded back.

"I understand, but not in this way. He could have been stressed and refused outright." Aaron was stunned, he was silent for a moment and as he was about to move his head.

"Nodding again will aunt hit your head!" Tika took off the brown wedges she was wearing and brandished them right in front of Aaron's face.

Aaron smiled stiffly and raised both his hands, a sign of giving up.

"If she closes herself off and stays away from me, just watch out for the two of you." threatened Tika, then she went to see Audrey. The two men of different ages stared at his disappearance without speaking until Tika turned.

"Papa's sister is so fierce."

"Yes, like a hungry tigress."

"I heard it!!" tika's head suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall. Aaron and Bagas held their chests in shock and turned around.

"Give me your heart, Pa, it's fate to have a little sister like that." Aaron patted his papa on the shoulder.

"Durrect son!" Bagas hits Aaron's forehead and goes towards the living room. Aaron rubbed his forehead for a moment, then rushed after the Papa and led him.

"What's wrong?" Bram appeared out of nowhere.

"Tante Tika is planning to get us a heart attack." Aaron complaining.

"really?" Bram. "Surely someone triggered it."

"Here you go, please check on papa."

Bram nodded and approached Bagas to check on him.

"Everything's fine." Bram took off the stethoscope. "At any time we'll be doing herbal therapy inside the jacuzzi."

"Can I come?" Aaron's interested.

"Of course, Papa wants to have more time with you." Bagas smiled happily.

"Then I'll get everything ready." Bram is leaving.

"Where's Isak? I haven't seen him." Bagas is looking for his sister-in-law.

"Om at work, he's sitting in the gazebo."

Bagas stumped smile. "I'm glad you're all here. Can't wait to get back to S town so you don't have to come all the way to visit me."

"In a moment and papa's wish will be realized. I want to be able to live together again." Aaron held his papa's hand warmly.

...

Audrey and Tika take a walk by the lake not far from the villa. They seemed to be engrossed in talking about jewelry, Tika's favorite topic if she was alone with Audrey.

Audrey took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, she closed her eyes. A sweet smile puffed up perfectly on her lips.

"The atmosphere here calms aunty, Audrey likes." Audrey opened her eyes and turned to look at Tika who was standing next to her.

Hearing that Tika smiled. "We're sitting there yuk." Tika pointed to a seat made from an old tree trunk.

Audrey nodded and followed Tika from behind. After that there is no talk, they enjoy the natural scenery presented in plain sight.

"Drey, do you have any special criteria for your dream young man?"

Audrey tilted her head and thought for a moment. "There's no aunt yet, Audrey hasn't thought about it." the girl grimaced.

"Don't pick Drey wrong." Tika smiled.

"If according to aunt, what kind of young man could accompany Audrey?"

"If it is, aunt doesn't know. Our tastes are different." Tika chuckled in response to Audrey's question.

"Yes, too."

"But if you can. Find a young man who can instill positive values for you."

"How do I know auntie?" Audrey improved her sitting position to make it more comfortable facing towards Tika.

"You can judge when you talk about a problem. When you discuss something. See how he responds and what he concludes. What advice is implied from the sentences." explained Tika with a smile.

Audrey was stunned, her eyes were staring at the lake but her mind wandered somewhere. Tika watched Audrey, trying to guess what the girl was thinking.

"But the one who's been chatting with Audrey lately is Aaron's aunt."

"Even before meeting Aaron, no one was close to you?"

"There is no aunt, even if there is only one. The conversation is just stale." Audrey scratched her head.

"Yes probably because Audrey didn't want to respond too much either" she continued clumsily.

"Why not respond?"

"Because from the beginning Audrey was not interested and felt uncomfortable, why continue."

"So if Aaron is not uncomfortable, right?"

"That's it, Audrey's confused too."

"Kok confused?" Tika stroked the hair of the girl beside her.

"Audrey was confused as to why she couldn't avoid it when Aaron's leg made physical contact such as holding hands. No worries when chatting and looking into his eyes." Audrey laughing.

"Because Audrey often felt the gaze of some young man who tried to get close, like stripping Audrey naked. Anyway disgusting scanned like that."

Tika understood what Audrey felt, which kind woman felt at home looked like she was about to be devoured. Do not think politeness is only limited to body movements. Sometimes we forget that even the eyes can reveal everything. Therefore, carefully use your eyes.

"When aunt fell in love with om Isak. Aunty likes to smile to herself when she remembers her, aunt's chest is pounding and there's a warm feeling creeping in the heart." Tika smiled in memory.

"Even just read the message, it's nice not to play" Tika said as she held Audrey's hand. The girl smiled hearing Tika's every speech.

"Audrey is lucky to know aunty. Maybe it's like having a mom. Can share a story that papa doesn't understand." Audrey put her head on Tika's shoulder. Tika's breathing was choked, she laboriously swallowed her saliva. Clear circles quietly slid from the corner of his eyes.

"Yes, because men and women think differently." Tika suppressed her feelings to make her throat very sore. Tika stroked Audrey's head slowly.

"If there's anything tell aunty yes dear. Don't hold your own, just say what you feel."

Audrey accepted Tika's offer with a nod. He was enjoying the current state, a warm feeling radiating throughout his bloodstream. Love can come from anyone, he is lucky.
