The voice whispered and sounded in Ally's ear. But he refused to wake up. The dream is in progress, the dream is holding hands while running in a garden full of flowers. Then his hand was removed, he spun around while laughing wide. Then the man caught her, they laughed together before the man stopped taking her around. Then Ally felt her forehead start to be let out, moved to her cheeks, on the left, right, then when the kiss felt on her lips, Ally frowned. Because the kiss felt so real.
"Wake up Princess Sleep" said a voice near Ally.
Ally opened her eyes slowly, the sight of a handsome face in front of her telling Ally that last night she was not dreaming. Lucius has really come.
Ally stared dumbly, her heart rustling, how long she missed looking at that face. Then he felt Lucius start to lift the shirt he was wearing. Ally immediately got up and brushed off Lucius' hand.
"Ap ... What are you doing!!" shout Ally.
"Let me see the lashings that Carloz did,"
"I .. it's healed,"
"Let me see it for myself,"
Lucius moved up the bed. Caught Ally, then pulled her. He sat on the bedside and sat Ally on her lap. With one hand Lucius held Ally's body in the front, surrounding her arm to Ally's body. Whereas with his other hand, Lucius forcibly pulled the tip of the pink T-shirt that Ally was wearing up, so that the naked back of the girl was exposed innocently in front of him.
"Oh my goodness ...." Ally whispered, feeling breathless and embarrassed. He covered his face with both palms. Trying to arrange his heartbeat that began to beat fast. Lucius' arm holding his body part from the front clung tightly to his chest, Ally was so embarrassed that Lucius noticed the change in his heart rhythm.
"It must have hurt a lot ...." Lucius stared at the elongated scar that looked reddish on Ally's back. All of the wounds had dried up and some were already colored like other normal skin tissues. But the part of the skin affected by the lash and injured rather deeply still leaves a reddish hue and brownish tissue scars that harden the wound mark has healed. Lucius touched the scab that was on the scar and whispered back.
"I'm sorry .. You have to go through this kind of pain" Lucius said, imagining when the whip landed and ripped Ally's skin. Pain and pain that the girl must have felt.
"It's not your fault . after all now it doesn't hurt anymore" Ally said slowly. He no longer covered his face with his palm when he spoke.
"No need to lie, I've experienced it .. so I know how the pain is."
Ally immediately recalled the entire scar she had seen on Lucius' body.
"Your body ...." Ally gulped, unable to continue. He was very curious, but was afraid that it would make Lucius recall memories that would have been painful for the man to remember.
"My mom did it" Lucius stroked Ally's back, checked every scratch, realizing the affected part wasn't going to heal too deeply without leaving a mark, but the deeper part probably won't be that lucky.
Ally was stunned to hear Lucius' words. He looked up, looking at Lucius' face.
"If you want to hear it, then I'll tell you how I got this whole wound on my body ..."
"Are you not going to be anything? I mean, this is painful for you. Talking about it again will make you remember the incident again."
"I'm okay ... Thanks to my sister who has returned, I learned to forget and let the past pass by and not interfere with my current life,"
Then Lucius briefly recounts his past, how he got hurt from the torment and madness of his mother, then the arrival of his father and Lance. Until he finally found his sister Regina. He did not tell too much in detail, that alone made Ally rub her own arm when Lucius' story ended.
"Thankful ... You're finally reunited with your brother."
Ally looked down and rubbed her eyes. Ally's voice also sounded hoarse and heavy.
"You crying?" ask Lucius.
"Ti .. no.." said Ally slowly.
Lucius smiled, knowing that the girl was lying. He pulled the ally's body and hugged it in front of his chest. Ally according, she leaned slanted on the man's chest. Taped the sides of his head and shoulders to Lucius' chest. His suffering was meaningless compared to the suffering and pain that Lucius had to endure. Even until he grows up. The trauma that accompanied the end of the torture wrapped around Lucius, giving him nightmares and sleeping in agitation, still providing pain in his subconscious memory.
They hugged in silence. Lucius had already covered Ally's back by lowering her shirt, he surrounded both of his arms to Ally's body and pressed his chin to the top of the girl's head.
Ally took a deep breath, her heart agitated. The warm embrace of these two men's arms gave him an overwhelming sense of comfort. How he endures holding back his feelings for this man, as Rico tells him, Lucius has lied, Ally does not know Lucius' background and character any deeper. Will he give his trust again to the man at the risk of being ready if his heart breaks again.
"Allie !" alan's screams rang out all the way to Ally's room. Alan must have woken up and looked for her. Ally moved, contorting her body to escape Lucius.
"Lucius, let go of your arm,"
Lucius lifted Ally up and moved her on the bed.
"We'll talk again after you shower, Alison." Lucius nudged his fingers to the tip of Ally's nose and turned and stepped towards the door.
"There's nothing more we need to talk about, right?"
"A lot of it, Ally. There's so much we need to talk about. And you'd better take a shower and then talk to me. I'll wait for you at the dinner table."
Ally flicked her lips hearing the tone of command in Lucius' voice.
"You can't force me, after all, you'd better leave before any of my neighbors see there's a man who's not my family living here with me."
"You're sure you won't take a shower and talk to me afterwards?. If that's the case, I'll lock this door back and you'll have to talk to me now. Until you accept my excuses and erase the anger and distrust that is in your heart."
Lucius waited, he turned around and leaned against the door of the room, folding his hands in front of his chest as he gazed towards Ally who was looking at him defiantly.
"I'm happy to speak now ... Besides you look beautiful with your hair tangled and eyes just waking up. And ...." Lucius's eyes traced Ally's chest. Making Ally puff and grabbing a pillow then covering her chest.
"Go ... get out! I'm gonna take a shower!" his orders in an annoyed tone.
"Allah ... But promise me afterwards you'll talk and listen to me." Lucius was unmoving, not moving from where he stood.
"Good ... Okay, now go!" Ally said quickly, hoping that Lucius would leave and no longer look at him with his eyes sparkling ignorantly.
Lucius laughed, "Well, that's the answer I want. You're so sweet, Ally, baby. What are you hiding behind that pillow? I already know you're not wearing your bra no, I've seen your back anyway."
Ally snorted, "You!" he shouted while throwing the pillow in his hand towards Lucius. But the man had already slipped out and closed the door quickly. Leaving behind Ally who was blushing and sighing in embarrassment while covering her face with both palms.
Lucius was still laughing when he came out and found Alan standing at the door of his room.
"Uncle Lucius!" yelled the boy.
"Hi Alan's. It's good to see you again" Lucius approached and raised Alan's body.
"You're getting bigger" he praised with a big smile.
"When did you come?" ask Alan happily.
"Last night, Alan."
"Why are you coming again, Uncle? Ally won't be happy to see you."
"What about you? Aren't you happy too?"
Alan shook his head quickly, "of course I'm happy. You're not leaving without any more news, are you?"
"No Alan. This time I came because I was going to pick you up. I'll take you with me."
Alan was seen frowning in Lucius's sling.
"Why? You don't want to?" ask Lucius.
"Not that, Uncle. Now we've got Uncle Rico looking after us. I heard him tell Ally, we have to tell her wherever we want to go, and Ally can't leave if it's without her permission" Alan said.
"What you said was absolutely right, Alan. And I now withdraw my words to allow you to stay here. It's only been one night and a man has barged in without permission."
Those cold-pitched words sounded after the front door was pushed forcefully. Causing the chair that was propping up the door to creak with a loud noise.
Lucius stared at the source of the voice. At Mr. Enrico Costra who was already standing there with a sharp look at him.
