Alexa stared at her uncle who was focusing on driving. They were already on their way home after picking up Alexa at school. Thank goodness this time he was no longer taken to the man's office. But what made him not stop glancing at Darrel, he did not know what to say to be allowed to come to Karin's house tonight.
"What's up, Alexa?"
"No."
Darrel turned to Alexa.
"From your school until we're on the street uncle can observe that you keep staring uncle, what's up?" ask Darrel again.
"Alexa's coming to Lexa's friend's show tonight and staying over."
Finally the word came out of his mouth. Right at the red light, Darrel was fully staring at Alexa. The man continued to observe her with a sharp look. Alexa can only look straight ahead. Dodging from Darrel's view.
"No, uncle won't allow."
"Lexa didn't ask for permission, Alexa just told me," she said quickly.
"You're living with uncle, which means all your business must get permission from uncle."
"Mommy never banned Alexa. So uncle can't ban Lexa-, either,"
"Unfortunately you're not living with your mommy right now, so the rules are in uncle's hands."
An irritated Alexa started to stare boldly at the man."Mommy just leave Alexa, because it's uncle can not arbitrarily set Lexa's life," he said firmly.
"Would you cancel your intention, uncle will never change the decision uncle, stay at home do not dare to leave without permission from uncle."
The road back is good. The car is back on the road but Darrel is adding to the speed of the car. Alexa closed her eyes. He was upset by his unclenched attitude. If only yesterday he had maintained his desire to stay alone maybe now he would not have to face the man next to him.
No more conversations happening. Darrel kept focusing forward. The look on her face was different and Alexa realized that her uncle was holding back emotions. No matter what, he also kept silent until the two reached the courtyard of Darrel's mansion.
"Alexa wants to go to the room."
Alexa tries to release Darrel's hand on her wrist. He just wanted to turn to the left where his room was. But the uncle held back his movement and tried to pull Alexa slowly.
"To uncle's room."
He's shaking."Lexa doesn't want to, Alexa wants to rest" she said hoping Darrel would let her go.
"Rest in uncle's room, Alexa."
"Alexa doesn't want uncle, freelin!" Successfully escaping, he quickly ran towards his room accompanied by the cry of Darrel who called out to him. But regardless of that Alexa actually went into the room and locked the door. As for Darrel, the man was smiling slantedly staring at his girl's courage.
...
"Gue's in front of uncle lo's house."
The voice across the phone greets Alexa's hearing as she picks up a call from her friend. He is neat using a short skirt over the knee and a thick knit shirt that covers his body. Alexa has been in her room since noon.
"Wait, 5 minutes I'm out."
"Why can't I come in?"
"Just wait, I'm dead."
Alexa put her phone in the bag. He had brought a uniform and also a change of clothes with a medium-sized tote bag to stay at Karin's house. Usually in the hours leading up to dinner like this Anna– the waiter who was ordered to take care of Alexa would come knocking on her room. So he just needs to wait for it and ask Anna for help so that he can leave tonight without knowing the uncle.
Not long after that as he expected, the door of his room was knocked and the voice of a woman asking him to get ready for dinner sounded. Alexa opens the door and pulls Anna into her room.
"Aunt Anna, Uncle Darrel is home?" his questionnaire instantly ignored the question mark-filled gaze of the woman in front of him.
He cursed in the heart. He wished the house had gone and left the house. But it seems that he must try hard in order to go to Karin's house.
"Aunt help Alexa yeah, Lexa should go to a friend's house but uncle doesn't allow-,"
"I can't non, sorry."
"Please aunty Anna," said Alexa pleading.
The woman was silent for a few seconds and just looked down confused. But then Anna looked at Alexa and hesitantly began to open her voice.
"I can't help non Alexa out. I'm afraid Mr. Darrel will get angry and fire me. But if non want to go non Alexa can use the side door commonly used by the waiters."
...
"Past five minutes."
"Sorry sorry."
Alexa gets in Karin's car. His friend had waited for almost half an hour and it was quite annoying for sure. The car drove off from Darrel's residence. Alexa can breathe a sigh of relief now that she managed to get out of her house thanks to the advice of Anna. Because he was new to Darrel's house and he didn't know the ins and outs of the building.
"Why can't I come in?" tanya Karin makes Alexa who just breathed a sigh of relief again made choked.
"My uncle is fierce."
"What's wrong, bite?"
"No, Rin. I'll tell you what he is going to do" he said, and Karin agreed.
It took them 15 minutes to get to Karin's house. Car parked in the yard. Alexa can see that there are now several other cars that are scattered. What BBQ'an event that the Karin family held would be as crowded as he had never imagined? He thought it was just the Karin nuclear family but it didn't seem like it was because when the two had actually entered the back area of the house. Alexa can see for herself if it turns out there are other members of the Karin family that she had never known before.
"Alexa how are you, aunt hasn't seen you in a long time?"
He smiled when the first greeting he got from Dinda– Karin's mother. Alexa welcomes that hug."Okay, aunt," he answered.
"Thank you for coming, so it's getting a lot more crowded."
"Alexa who thanks aunt for being invited to exclamations here."
"Then enjoy the show."
Alexa was polite.
"Lo didn't say the show was this crowded," his protest looked at Karin who had been loyal next to him. Karin just shook her shoulders, as if she did not care about Alexa's protection.
"Let me know my cousins."
He followed Karin's steps. Until the two stopped near the swimming column area where 4 women and 3 teenage boys were gathered. Alexa puts on her best smile when they realize her presence.
"Hello, I'm coming."
If Alexa feels like she got away from Darrel's house. So the man allowed the girl to enjoy it. Because actually Darrel watched Alexa's action run away. Each side of the house has cctv and cctv located near Alexa's room connected to the tab screen.
This afternoon the girl said she was leaving and she forbade it. Darrel was already suspicious that Alexa would not hear his words. Then when the girl chose to lock herself in the room. From there Darrel began to monitor Alexa's movements because he secretly put cctv in the girl's room. Tell him he's crazy, but that's the reality he's done so Alexa is always under his control.
Darrel did not stop Alexa. Because he wanted to see how brave the girl was to him to not listen to his ban and he would make Alexa no longer dare to refute him after this. Darrel put a smirik on his face, can't wait to pick up his girl tomorrow.
