Annora looked at Aaron confusedly. The clock was already showing at one o'clock, but Aaron instead knocked on the door of his room and stood in the doorway without saying anything.
"What's wrong?" ask Annora later.
"Can I sleep here?" tannya
Annora fell silent before finally nodding her head. Aaron then walked in and sat down on the sofa. Annora was about to go to sleep, but it stopped because of Aaron's words.
"Can you accompany me? Just sec, just. I can't sleep" Aaron said.
Annora sighed. Annora sat down in front of Aaron. "Why?" annora asked, Aaron frowned. "Why don't you sleep in your own room? Where are your bed warmers?"
Aaron was silent, he did not say anything, making Annora sigh resignedly. "I don't know what happened to you, but it's not good for your health if you sleep late" Annora recalled.
"Are you mad at me?" asked Aaron suddenly.
Annora scrunched her forehead. "You got the wrong medicine? Look, Aaron, I don't know what your problem is, it's the first one. Dan, why are you apologizing? I mean, it's not like you used to be" Annora said at length.
Instead of answering, Aaron stared intensely at Annora. Her memory drifted back to her conversation with her mother a few hours ago. He will always lose the one he loves.
Annora remembered something. But, he was worried, whether this was the right time to ask that, considering, now Aaron is in a state of less possibility.
"Aaron ..." call Annora, Aaron stared at her intensely. "Can I ask you a question?" ask Annora doubtfully.
Aaron nodded his head briefly. Annora exhaled slowly, trying to gather her energy and strength to ask.
"I'm sorry if the evenings talk about this. But, please answer honestly my question" Annora asked. "Are you .. are you the one who killed Jennie?"
Aaron was silent, Annora herself was resigned, where maybe Aaron would answer his silly question.
On suspicion, Aaron's lips opened to answer Annora's question. "You, really want to know?" ask Aaron to make sure.
Annora nodded her head. "Of course," he said, he then quietly turned on the eavesdropping device he had placed under the table so that no one would understand.
"I. .. didn't kill Jennie, I was just one of the causes, not the main cause," Aaron said, Annora silent no comment. He wanted to hear the whole Annora story.
"At that time, I was screwed, because Erlangga was not doing well. I took it out with Belinda. And, I heard from her that Jennie was cheating. Yeah, you know the end, don't you?"
"Let me guess, you believe him?" guess Annora, Aaron just nodded his head assenting.
"Aaron, can you ask me something?" annora asked, Aaron only nodded his head briefly. "Is ... do you love Jennie?"
Sillier. It was a rhetorical question that did not require an answer. But apparently, Annora's brain is in trouble.
"Forget it," he said, he sighed softly. He then looked at Aaron who looked chaotic. "You better sleep" Annora suggested.
Aaron shook his head. "I can't sleep" he answered honestly.
"Sleep, isn't tomorrow the three-year anniversary of Jennie's death?" Aaron nodded his head. "Are you visiting Jennie's grave tomorrow?"
"Indeed why? You want to visit him?" ask Aaron
Aaron observed Annora's movements. After a few minutes of pensive, finally the man chose to follow the wife who broke his body. She hugged Annora's body.
In the end, Rama always fell in love with his Sinta. Same with Aaron. Since long ago, his life was only about targets and being achieved, failing was a taboo for him. For Aaron, everything has to be perfect and logical.
Logic is the key, love is taboo. However, who would have thought that the woman beside him was able to make him feel what he felt in other normal humans.
Falling in love, it might sound silly. But, that's the truth. Aaron has read several articles about love or falling in love.
Heart palpitations when near him, a sense of not wanting to lose, also the desire to always protect him. Aaron felt it all.
And most importantly, she felt safe and calm while being next to the girl. It was as if Annora had something amulet that made her always feel calm when near her.
...****************...
Felicia concocted tea for the queen Erlangga's special guest who was none other than her own half-sister, Aaron Rama Erlangga. The mother and daughter are arguing over Annora.
Felicia came to serve tea between the two of them. He then returned and hid. Turn on the sound eavesdropping device to record.
"Don't I tell you, Aaron. Get rid of Annora or I'll step in." Adelia threatened her son.
Aaron shook his head. "No, Ma. This time, only. Please, please don't interfere with my household affairs. Don't hurt the people around me. Wasn't it enough all this time that I've been following Mom's orders?"
Adelia chuckled at the words of her son. "Listen, Aaron, I just want your kindness, nothing more. I just don't want you manipulated by the people you love, that's all."
"Aaron, Annora is dangerous. Like a beautiful oleander, but he has poison. I just don't want you to be lulled by its beauty and instead end up tragically exposed to the poison" explained Adelia.
Aaron was silent, his mind justified his mother's words, but not his heart that rejected them.
Felicia across was a little furious when she found out that her mother was vilifying her employer. To Felicia, Annora was like a lotus on mud water. Even on the dirty mud, he was still holy and able to purify the surroundings.
"Are you going to choose your wife over your mother who gave birth and raised you, Aaron?" asked Adelia who made her only son worried. Indeed if in terms of persuasion like this Adelia seems like her master.
Aaron was silent for a while, he then smiled and shook his head briefly. "I'm saying goodbye, Mom," said Aaron.
Adelia growled furiously. He then called out to Gita. "Sir ...!! Gita ...!!" shouted Adelia
Gita came in haste. "What's up, Madam?" tannya
"Call Belinda now, have her come to see me immediately" Adelia orders, Gita nods her head and immediately goes to call Belinda.
Felicia came out of her hiding place. He was about to take the cup Aaron was wearing.
"Come, are they still trying to find out about Jennie?" asked Adelia in a soft tone that seemed soft.
Felicia shook her head. "No, ma'am, it seems like Annora has given up on it," Felicia replied with a small smile.
Adelia nodded in understanding. Goody. One troublemaker is gone. - Inner Adelia
