If Josh Rainer has a secret passage to his own back, so does Aldebaran.
The difference is, Aldebaran has his own secret path in the house of his grandmother who never liked him, Karina Gurnawijaya.
Yes, the two successors of Gurnawijaya's blood have a secret way each to escape from his own room. If Josh escapes from Celine, Aldebaran escapes from Karina.
How ironic.
Now Aldebaran had taken off his blue coat and was wearing only a white long-sleeved shirt, as he pulled me close by.
“We don't need a key to get away from this house,” he told me. “Come, before anyone catches us,” he said again while opening his hand for me to reach.
.....
If Aldebaran wasn't Ale, I obviously wouldn't have followed his lead.
He is the son of Celine, the main antagonist who created this whole melee.
However, Aldebaran was Ale.
The Ale I know is like my own brother.
Ale loved my family very much.
Is there any reason I should not believe it?
“Selena?” Aldebaran brought me back with his open arms.
….
I'm sure of him.
Even though he was Celine's son, but he was also the Ale I knew.
Ale's not gonna hurt me.
If there's one person I should choose to trust the most in this family, he's the one.
I trust him.
Not eating any more time, I grabbed her warm hand.
Aldebaran smiled a lot.
“We go home yes,” he said smooth to me.
I'm nodding. “We came out through where?” many confused.
He then pointed at the ceiling of the room with a satisfied face.
Gosh darn.
Me and him will pass through the ceiling of this room?
“We hanger?” I'm a lot confused.
He had now dragged the wooden chair into the middle of the room.
“I will show you my secret path every time I am locked up by the old grandmother here,” she said with a laugh.
So not only Celine, but Karina also likes to lock Aldebaran?
I really don't understand this conglomerate family.
“You are often locked up by Karina?” I just don't believe it.
As I see it, Karina is a wise man. It was very different with Celine. And it turns out that he also likes to lock up his granddaughter?
“Not really. If I was playing here and there was no father, he would never see me. Never even greeted me. So yes I will spend my time here while making a secret path,” he said in an ordinary tone.
“So this is the room you used to live in when you were here?” my many.
“Betul. Lena also often inmates this room if you are playing here,” he said casually. Now he had climbed up the chair and knocked on the ceiling of this room.
Lena must be Helena. And he sleeps here often.
The room of Josh Rainer.
For some reason, imagining the two of them hugging me broke my heart back.
Meanwhile, Aldebaran had managed to make the ceiling he knocked shifted to the right and the loft hole was open for us to climb.
And that's the secret way.
“If you can get out of the balcony easily, you can also pass this attic to our exit,” Aldebaran said while hanging on both sides of the loft.
He then tried to climb it and easily his entire body was no longer visible.
He was in the attic.
“Come on Selena, now it's your turn,” she said with her head poking out from under the attic.
Climbing-climbing games are things I used to do with Gery. Gery was the one who brought me into the world of adventure, like breaking into an unoccupied haunted house, climbing a tree to take a kite to play hanging on a clothesline on the second floor of his house.
When I remember that, I realized that my childhood was very risky. Gery who is a big man has almost no fear of anything. And she used to think of me like her own boyfriend when we played together.
It was only after I became acquainted with Dio in High School that my tomboy nature was slowly eroded. I began to like to use skirts to travel, happy to dress up and lengthen hair to wear fragrances that I had never done before.
Unfortunately, when I went on an adventure with Gery as a kid, Ale was no longer in my house. Exactly a month when Ale was away with the bodyguards, we moved from the West Jakarta area to the East Jakarta area. We moved house because my father got a job as a teacher in one of the private schools in East Jakarta, so my parents decided we also moved domicile. It has become my home to this day.
And that finally removes the trace between me and Aldebaran to this day.
“Wait for me,” I said to him. I got on the wooden chair and caught his hand from the top of the attic.
He then tried to lift me up before I finally hung on the edge of the attic hole. I tried to push my weight up. Aldebaran helped me so I wouldn't fall.
And in the end here we are.
On top of the attic room in the house of Mrs Gurnawijaya.
Aldebaran then closed the hole with a square piece of the ceiling that he preteli. Which made the dust-filled attic very dark.
He then turned on the flashlight from his cell phone to light us up.
I nodded and directly illuminated the empty attic with light.
The size of the attic itself was quite high, so I didn't have to crawl. Aldebaran and I are now walking down the exit with our heads down.
He held my hand tightly.
Aldebaran stopped when we were walking and turned around.
“Below is Josh Rainer's room,” he said talk to me.
Instantly my heart felt like it was tempestuous.
“I also made a secret exit here, to disturb him first. After he was so quiet, I couldn't bear to not tease him. But he knew it and then covered it with concrete,” he said with a laugh.
“Time has not been discovered, I often become a ghost so-japan and go down. Believe it or not, his expression at seeing ghosts is the same as he saw my mother,” Aldebaran chuckled.
They are both very different.
Josh Rainer is a loner, while Aldebaran is a very open person.
They're completely different.
"But Josh Rainer doesn't know yet that there's still a secret hole here. I'm s34ing eavesdropping from here if the old grandma is talking to Josh Rainer in her room. Here I show you,” he said later.
Aldebaran then felt one of the ceiling surfaces and found a large bolt that seemed to be the main button to open the ceiling of Josh's room.
Oh naw.
If Aldebaran opens this door, doesn't that mean I can go back and see what Josh Rainer and Helena are doing downstairs?
I stopped Aldebaran's movement.
“Why? You don't want to hear what Josh and Helena are talking about when you're alone? I used to cry laughing hearing how the two of them had talked since childhood about getting married, having children and living happily in America. I always eavesdrop on them from here,” Ale said excitedly, like no problem.
Those words are very problematic for me.
My heart is like I can no longer control it.
I hate that they're both down there.
“Ale, stop. Let's go out,” I said pull his hand.
However, I'm late.
Ale had opened a small hole in the ceiling that appeared to be next to a lamp above Josh Rainer's bed.
Through this hole, I can't see them both. However, I can hear what is being talked about.
And this time, I heard Helena crying.
Crying as much as you mutter. However, the words that came out of his mouth could be heard clearly.
“Josh, why did you try to repay my treatment by harming yourself that night? I'm so sorry,” he murmured.
Huh huh?
Whatdoes thatmean?
According to Helena, Josh harmed himself that night?
Now, I clung my ears tightly to their conversation, becoming very curious about Helena's statement.
“Kata Becca, your stepmother cleaned up all the news because she didn't want any bad news about her . You accidentally bumped yourself into a toll booth when I didn't come to the night of our agreement back then,”.
I shut my mouth.
Not likely.
This must be the story that Becca and Celine put together to trick Helena.
Not possible, is it?
There's no way Josh Rainer would want to end his own life because his love wasn't answered by Helena right?
“Josh Rainer, I'm so sorry. You know how serious I am about pursuing my career. I know I've kept you waiting a long time, but my career can't wait either. I plan to go back to you. I was planning on calling you back then, but you called first and the one who answered was my producer. At that moment he told me that I was in his house. I know it must hurt you,” he said he was now crying irregularly.
Oh God.
So Josh Rainer thinks Helena's cheating on him?
And then Josh was disappointed and wanted to end his life?
“I was at the producer's house to talk about our new Broadway project. So I couldn't call you all day. I should have said that I could not go back to Indonesia, but I was busy. I'm so busy with Josh, but he doesn't like girls! I have nothing to do with him. You can check for yourself,” explained Helena.
I'm still trying to review Helena's entire statement.
“I promised never to betray you again. After first.
..I was in love with Al,” said Helena who shocked me half to death.
Good Lord!
Did I not hear wrong?
I then glared at Ale and he put a flat face on his face.
What the hell is going on here?
Is Aldebaran involved in the love triangle of Josh Rainer and Helena?
Is this what Josh Rainer meant earlier in his hiding room that...he always loses to Aldebaran?
That it turns out Helena ever intended to leave Josh and love her own half-sister?
….
And now…
Is the cycle repeated?
With me, Josh Rainer and Aldebaran harboring each other?
