My Secret Alora's
Hold My Hand

14 Years ago

The first time Alora meets a new family, a little girl who longs for her mother and father who is often imagined in her empty face. A quiet girl who is submissive, but her life is empty without activity, she just sits or sleeps and does not even communicate with anyone.

One day after several months of caring for Alora, the man nicknamed father took his son for a walk out of the house, even showing a playground full of children, but the little girl did not respond.

But a noise made him react, when the sound of the impact of a wood falling from the workers woke up next to the playground. As if awakened from her hypnosis, the girl took off her father's hand and headed to a lonely boy in the corner of the playground and sat alone. Alora approached the boy and sat down next to him. That innocent gaze continued to lead to the child.

"Why did you come here?" Said the boy sniffling.

Alora smiled then said, "my name." her words stopped and lost her smile.

"Your name is Alora!" Dad's leg then bent his knees crouching.

"Om who?" Ask Alora.

Dad immediately hugged Alora with a smile on his face, "father's son finally spoke! Loraa. it's dad!" The man took off his hug and carried the 5-year-old Alora.

The girl was only caught in the shadow of the incident, she could not turn away before someone resuscitated her. Alora is now back to normal but she is becoming more reserved than before. His father returned to live with him for his healing process, needed people to take care of him.

Alora was sitting on the porch with a blank face, obviously Dad knew for sure the girl was getting late in her problem. With warm tea in hand the man brought it to his adopted son.

"What do you think of your son?" Asked the man then sat down beside Alora.

"Lora must pay off her debt to Lora's friend!" Alora Sahut.

"Who? Doesn't Lora hate being in debt? How could Lora have any debts?"

"Actually, Cowo was asking for compensation because he used to finance les Alora and help us a lot when we were short. It turns out he pretended to be good! All he sells is to win a bet if he manages to be Alora's girlfriend then he gets twice the money he spent!"

"How many?"

"There's 42 million more!"

The middle-aged man covered his mouth in disbelief at the enormous amount for them.

"Lora, just calm down! I'll pay for everything!"

"But where does money come from?"

"You calm down! It's dad's responsibility!"

...

The sun shines brightly, even the afternoon sky looks very charming, decorated with birds flying back to the nest. Alora came out of the house to go around looking for fresh air. Along with Andre who departed on his bike, of course Andre stopped when he found Alora on the road.

"Darling let's go up! Where are you going anterine cave!" Said Andre whose head was still attached to the bandage.

"Darling?" Alora looked puzzled but nodded then got on the bike. They just walked down the street aimlessly and without a word.

Then Andre stopped at a park close to the lake. They were both sitting there just looking at that beautiful sight.

"Al, you're angry at the cave, aren't you?" Ask Andre.

"Yes!" Sahut Alora who makes Andre automatically stare at Alora.

"Why?" Andre opened his eyes and ears waiting for a response.

"Karna every look loe cave always remembered cave parents who had died. I think the cave needs to get away from the loe first until the cave mind is completely calm."

"It's okay not to hug you cave once!" Andre brought his body closer to Alora and hugged the girl. The warm embrace was again felt, Alora always felt comfortable in the hug.

The hug came off, but Alora found a bandage on Andre's head that she had not noticed before. His hand was raised towards the young man's forehead then touched Andre's face, and he said, saying,

"Ndre! This is you why? Still hurts, huh?" Ask Alora who is worried.

"Not what! It's also healing!" Andre with a smile on his face.

...

The next day, after more than a week of absence, Andre picks up Alora to leave for campus. However, this time Alora was ushered in by her father. Arriving at the campus, Andre looks lethargic as if dumped.

"Loe why? From this cave perhatiin loe bengong aja!" Ziva asked and sat down beside Andre's desk.

"What does it look like?" Andre Alora's version of the many nanya.

"Loe's kayaking broke up with Loe's girlfriend!"

"Oh yeah? Why does the cave look like that?"

"Gua wants to go out with Loe! Cave will be your girlfriend's replacement! The cave is better than Alora!" Ziva with that alluring smile plus full confidence.

Andre just glanced lazily, this girl was already more blatant now.

"Where do you think we're dating? It must be really exciting, right?" Ziva is taking advantage of the moment.

Just a voice call came, "Honey!" Girl with her new look she cut her hair short in classic long bob style.

Andre turned his head and found his girlfriend coming, the smile was momentarily present only to his lover. Alora glanced at Ziva briefly with a cynical look then said,

"Honey to the cafeteria!"

"Yes ayok!" Andre rushed to get his bag and grabbed Alora's hand and the two left. Andre is excited because this is a rare moment, usually Andre is looking for Alora but this time it is the opposite.

"Gua kangen is so loe!" Andre said as he walked looking at Alora with his short hair. 

The young man wiped the hair of his girlfriend who was flying in the wind so that he could see her face without being covered in hair. However, the girl only slightly raised the corner of her lips.

...

On the other hand, Lia had just walked out of the classroom and walked out of her senior building. Dian followed behind him. Accidentally Lia found Beni who was walking straight in front of her. The girl ran towards Beni then tried to equalize the step with the big step of the young man and quickly too. Of course Lia was overwhelmed, then grabbed Beni's hand as she said,

"Wait for the cave! Where are you in such a hurry?" Lia's a little panting. Beni stopped his steps.

"Loe if you have respiratory problems do not follow the cave! Want to loe what?" Sahut Beni with his ice attitude.

"Betch an ice cube! The cave wants your opinion loe!" Sahut Lia who put on a cold face as well.

"A lot of bestie loe there! Cave busy!" Sahut Beni then continued his steps. However, Lia remained following behind that fast-walking Beni.

On the other hand, Dian also followed Lia and this young man was very curious as to why Lia was following Beni.

"Is Lia starting to be interested in Beni huh? What kind of cave?" Mumbled.

Lia continued to follow Beni, even though her breathing was already irregular. Just come to break! Lia hit Beni who had stopped and turned around. Lia lost her balance, but Beni grabbed the girl's hand and pulled it and her right hand grabbed the girl's waist so as not to fall. Their awkward position looks like the starting position of a dancing couple.

Lia rushed off Beni's hand from her.

"Loe wants to talk about what?" Asked Beni who somewhat closed his worries if Lia continued to follow him could the girl asphyxiate and then the disease relapsed.

"Sir Andi, according to loe what is possible if the cave continues.. Andi brother will like the same cave?" Lia asked in an irregular breath.

"Loe let you know how you feel! Who knows if there's an answer you'd expect!"

"How did it fail?"

"Loe try it first! If it succeeds yes continue, if you fail you have to forget him! Love alone hurts more, mending loe revealed!" Wise words that sounded from the face and tone were flat.

"You finally cave actually failed and can not move on how? The cave type is overthingking and takes a long time to lupain! What if the cave can never escape Andi?"

"It's the same courting cave! We'll get him back! Understood?" Beni raised her voice in annoyance.
