My Dear Idol
About Love


Aaron was petrified watching Annora's back growing further away from his reach. A sense of tightness filled his chest. His heart was like being hit by a huge stone that was extremely stifling.


"When you fall in love, you will feel a pleasant thump when you are around him and your heart will feel pain or tightness because he is away from you."


Jennie's words were ringing in her head. Everything he felt was the same as the words of his late first wife. In love? Did ya? Is it true that a person like Aaron who is notoriously cruel, violent, and likes to lose the life of this person can feel love?


"Is this what you're trying to explain to me, Annora? About falling in love who can't choose? Our learning is not finished. Why did you leave me?" the man's monologue.


Aaron, the man chose to return to Annora's room. She lay her body on the bed with her blank look. His mind was full of Annora.


"Love gives without wishing to return."


The sentence suddenly rotated in his head. Love gives without hope. Indeed, which crazy person would want to do that? There's only one thing Aaron can do to truly know Annora's true identity. And Aaron is determined to do that plan tomorrow.


...****************...


Annora looked at her sister with a guilty look. The man did not answer when he asked. His sister did not consider his presence either.


Annora breathed a long breath, her irises still stealing glances towards Athaya. "Sorry ... Sister just doesn't want you to get dragged into this, Athaya," Annora said apologizing.


Athaya looked at the brother. "But I'm also a mother and father's son, brother. I deserve to know. About you being cheated on, especially about your mother's death," Athaya responded later. "Do you no longer consider me to be your brother, sister?"


Annora hurriedly shook her head quickly. "What are you saying, Athaya? You will always be my dear brother. Don't ever think weird."


"Then, when you have a problem, why don't you call me? Do you think I don't worry about you much less? I've always been worried about your situation there, brother. I'm afraid Aaron would have been violent with you. I'm afraid their families are excommunicating you. I'm worried about you, brother," explained Athaya.


Annora shed her tears. "I-I'm sorry," that's all Annora could say.


With a whim, the girl explained, "You're my only Adek. I will feel like a failure if they all manage to harm you. I'll never forgive myself if it happens to you."


"I don't want to worry you, I don't want to add to your burden because I'm sure you have a problem you didn't tell me about."


In the end, there was nothing wrong with them. Annora who is silent tries to keep her sister safe. And Athaya who always worried about her brother alone. They love each other, but unfortunately, their prestige is too high to cause this misunderstanding.


Athaya hugged Annora. "I'm sorry, brother. For this misunderstanding to end, can you tell me?"


Annora nodded her head in the arms of her sister. He then told Athaya everything. Not all, just as. However, she keeps telling me about Aluna who turns out to be Aaron's son with Jennie's former friend.


...****************...


Minutes pass, hours change. Annora and Athaya are joking. The misunderstanding is over.


"How do you know about all this?" ask Annora suddenly.


Athaya is small. Her cheeks slightly met, making Annora frown in wonder. "Actually .I and your bodyguard are close" Athaya said.


Annora blinked her eyes, she was processing the sentence that her sister had just thrown. Annora screamed and even hit Athaya's shoulder hard enough to make the master complain of pain.


With her horror gaze Annora said, "You ...!! You like Haikal ...?!" the girl shouted in shock.


Athaya immediately pinched her brother's chubby cheek. "I don't like Haikal, but Felicia, my dear sister ...."


"You .. like Felicia?" ask Annora later.


Athaya nodded her head. "Yes, why? Any issues?"


"No, then ... How is your romance?"


"Huh ... He's pretty hard to approach. We met by accident while she was waiting for an invitation, it seems you were asking her to buy some food back then."


"And from there, our relationship began to close. He's kind and honest enough, the proof is that he'll be honest when you ask him if he loves me."


"Then, does Felicia love you?"


Athaya nodded her head proudly. "Of course, this handsome young man has a charm that's hard to resist, brother." Athaya's face was blurry. "However, he refused when I said to want to be serious. He's a poor boy, he said, he's too old for me to be your friend."


Annora nodded her head understanding. Yeah, Felicia's older than him even Aaron. Come to think of it, Athaya's age with Felicia is nine years apart. In love, age is just a number, right?


"Well, I just wanted to say, if you love her, then fight. As hard as a woman's heart will eventually melt too" Annora advised her sister. Athaya nodded her head in understanding.


Yes, what her brother said was the truth. Before the yellow janur curved, Felicia did not belong to anyone.


...****************...


Annora decides to return to the mansion after seeing a video that Felicia sent to her. Apparently, it wasn't Aaron who sent it, it was Belinda.


Annora went into her room, she was very surprised to see Aaron who was currently looking at her. The two looked at each other, before Annora cut off their contact. I don't know why these days they're both always eye contact.


"I-I can clear-up"


Aaron's words were cut quickly by Annora. "I knew it wasn't you" said Annora, and she picked up the small bag she used to wear.


Aaron looked at her in disbelief. The man immediately hugged Annora, making the mistress sculpt for an instant.


"Thank you, thank you for believing in me" Aaron whispered.


Annora only silent in the arms of the prince Erlangga, he was also confused to respond how. Aaron parsed his embrace, he gently stroked Annora's face and peeked long at the girl's forehead. Annora was still silent, everything was too sudden, to the point that her brain was unable to respond properly.


Aaron then whispered something in Annora's ear that even made the mistress speechless.


Annora's tears are dripping. "Can I trust you?" ask her to the silence in the room. The girl then wiped her tears and moved her legs to leave her room.


...****************...


Aaron himself was already like a madman so out of the room. His smile was as if today was the happiest day in the world. Making the servants look at him strange and adoring, even though after that they were immediately rewarded with sharp gazes by the prince Erlangga.


"Is this what we call love? A love that cannot be guessed. Love that comes suddenly. And, the love that always makes someone flutter."


"I feel it, now I understand a little. I hope you feel the same way, Annora, because right now, I'm sure that I'm in love with you."
