NOT Second Lead

NOT Second Lead
The same sorrow


The board stared at the photo.near the gravestone on Aiden's grave sadly. His chest was heavy with a burden he could not keep away.


Until now he still hopes Aurora is not the cause of Aiden's death. She was afraid she could not accept the fact that her tender daughter was a ruthless killer.


Is it because of the broken heart of someone who can do such a wicked thing?


Why is Aurora so blinded by her love for Alexander?


His mind continues to issue endless opinions that make his head become more dizzy not a bitch.


"You're here?" asked Hendy who was already beside the Board.


The board turned and nodded its head. His heart grew saddened to see Hendy's hollow face.


"As he lived it always made me anxious with his childish actions. But after he's gone, I miss his ridiculousness" Hendy said in a hoarse voice. His heart is still very broken. Aiden was too young to go ahead of him.


"Yes. He's a nice kid," praise the Council sincerely. Unfortunately Aiden has to love his daughter who turns out to be cruel.


How, how if Hendy knew who had killed one of his twin sons. Surely Hendy and his wife will hate and curse him a lot.


The board breathed a long breath.


But seeing Hendy's good attitude to him, it seems that his best friend does not know if his daughter has killed Aiden.


The board felt his chest was very tight keeping this secret. It has not been proven that his daughter killed Aiden, but some evidence has led to.


He should not have proposed the match that brought Aiden into his death, he regretted endlessly.


He had to confess to his best friend. This sinful feeling was too much of a pain


"Board..."


"Hendy..."


The two smiled at each other as they called.


"You go first" said the council


"You are," said Hendy.


A moment later their smiles turned into small laughs. They haven't done it long enough.


"What's wrong?" ask the board after the laughter has subsided.


Hendy took a long breath. It was a bit heavy his tongue would say. But he still forced it.


"Thank you" said Hendy slowly.


"For what?" ask the Council with the raised eyebrows next to it.


Hendy again threw out his rough breath.


"Xavi told me."


The eyes of the Council grew. He was wrong to think his best friend didn't know what. Turns out Hendy was trying to hold him off.


But why didn't he beat her up?


"Aiden has known Aurora for a long time. This brat trapped Aurora until she finally met a tragic death," until here Hendy was unable to continue it again. He shrank his tears that began to drip.


The board was still glued to the face of Hendy who was trying to calmly control his emotions.


"I thank you, because you gave evidence of your son's involvement with Xavi. But I'm sorry, my family and I can't forgive Aurora" Hendy continued after calming down the feeling of a huddle in the dadamya.


The board shrank her tears that began to flow. He knew Aurora would not be easy to get an apology from the Hendy family.


"You know where Aiden has known Aurora for a long time" the council asked a few minutes later, as his curiosity was pinched by Hendy's statement.


He grew increasingly curious about what his daughter Aurora had been hiding.


"They didn't meet on purpose at the club. Aiden was apparently obsessed with Aurora, trapping her while intoxicated" Hendy explained after breathing deeply.


"Prapped it?" ask the Gamang board.


"Yes." Yeah."


"Where do you know?" chase the Council more curious. Also angry. It turned out that his daughter was depressed all this time and he as her father was not at all sensitive. I always thought Aurora was okay.


"Xavi found it in Aiden's apartment. Aiden photographed and photographed Aurora, while both were being very intimate."


The Board's breath seemed to be breaking hearing it.


"Aiden used the photo and video to threaten Aurora for her wish to be achieved."


"They are always related like husband and wife. And Aiden has always recorded it without Aurora's strings," said Aiden bitterly, feeling guilty to the Council.


The body of the Council trembled restraining his anger. Then he did the inhalation and exhale over and over again.


"I'm sorry for Aiden's mistake. But Aurora didn't have to kill him, did she" Hendy said in his apparent sadness.


Dewam. She's speechless. I'm beginning to understand why Aurora did it. Eyes closed. He breathed a heavy sigh.


Without a word the Board left Hendy who also did not hold him. They were currently feeling just as devastated as each other's feelings.

"Alex, I can go with Puspa. You also do not need me to work," protested Rihana when they had lunch together in the canteen of Opa Airlangga company.


This morning Alexander picked her up because she insisted on starting work. He's bored at home. After all, he felt very healthy.


Which makes him bete, Alexander also stayed in his room. Opa Airlangga gave him a special room as a senior official in the company. Alexander sat with him. Although occasionally he went to see Kalandra and her twin brothers talk about business. But never for long.


Puspa and Kirania who occasionally looked into his room could only laugh looking at his cousin's pouting face.


"You should be proud, Ri. An Alexander Monoarfa could be as sweet as you." That was Puspa said.


"I'm envious. Oooh, when can I have a lover like that? Handsome, wealthy and attentive" continued Kirania. And both of them immediately laughed.


Rihana could only breathe out a long breath while remembering it.


Now an envious look gushed at him from the employees of his op firm. Especially girls. What was clear was an envious and longing look at Alexander Monoarfa who was already very famous.


Alexander thinned his lips upon hearing Rihana's scolding. Of course Alexander's reaction invited a rumble in the hearts of the female employees there. Alexander looks more human.


"I'm worried about you" he said frankly. Then tucked some of Rihana's hair dangling behind her ear.


Rihana held his breath, as well as the female employees who kept watching them. Their hearts will be broken.


"A I'm fine, Alex," Rihana said nervously. And he hated his voice at this moment. He should remain calm and unaffected. But it feels hard.


"Yes, the food is spent" Alexander's smile again shook the hearts of the women.


In his heart, Rihana was upset to see Alexander who turned warm in a public place. His heart was upset to see the female employees of his grandfather so admired Alexander.


"Yes, "he said while focusing on his grilled chicken rice.


Alexamder who also enjoyed lunch with the same menu was still at home with his smile and his gaze on Rihana.


"Zira, are you really refusing to be my asp?" ask again without getting bored of repeating the request.


"Yes," refused Rihana stick with his stance.


"What about after marriage? We can keep the same. I don't want you far away from me" said Alexander.


Rihana. Inwardly agree.


"You, yes, Zira," Alexander asked again expectantly.


"After marriage, yes," Rihana said.


"Yes, honey. The leg," concluded Alexander is right in spite of the heavy burden that filled his heart and chest.


"Lex. but tomorrow you're going to be like this too?" rihana asked somewhat objectionably. Because he felt Alexander was over-protecting him.


"I also have business with your cousin. All of you I accompany you," replied Alexander lightly.


Back his hand touched the corner of his Zira lips which contained soy sauce stains from his roasted chicken.Tepatmya rubbed it gently using a tissue.


Again Rihana's face became red with her heart beating very fast.


"The kisser" Alexander whispered.


"Try ka if you dare," said Rihana grogi while pointing his spoon towards Alexander's face.


Alexander widened his smile at Rihana's nervousness.


"You're so beautiful" praised Alexander again.


Seseoramg, please keep away the creature that always endangers the health of his heart, his mind screams not calm.
