Second love for Ardian.
"Harum, forget it all, because here no one will hurt Harum anymore." Nalda said softly as she let go of her embrace and she gently looked at the girl.
"But.... If they come how about a doctor?" Lirih Harum looks scared. Although Harum always convinced himself, if he was now safe because the people who wanted to hurt him would no longer be able to. As long as he was in the midst of the Fazar family. But his fear always comes, if he remembers that his aunt and Nadila will torment him if he makes a mistake.
"Ranum." Nalda cupped a frightened Fragrant face."Bad people like them, Mr. Fazar has hidden them so they don't bother Harum anymore." Obviously Nalda gently tried to calm the girl down.
"Ben... Really doctor?" Harum asked stammeredly out of fear.
"Yes Rum, they won't hurt Fragrant anymore." Nalda continued to convince the girl."Now Harum take a breath to relax, forget all those memories and remember the good things when Harum was at the house of Mr. Wiyah." Smelling just nods his head in understanding. Harum followed Nalda's Instructions by closing his eyes and then he took a breath and threw it away. He also remembers the fun of being with his new family.
"How is it that much calmer?" Nalda asked when she saw that the scared face of Harum had turned calm.
"Had doctor. Smells a lot quieter now." Answer Harum smile small.
"Well then, is it good to eat?" Though hesitantly, but Harum still nodded his head small."If so Harum eat first, after that Harum is picked up.... Okay." Okay." Nalda's words made Harum just smile.
The two step inside the house, but cross paths with a Titi bik who wants to step outside.
"Mrs, outside there's a guest coming looking for a mistress."
"Who's bik?"
"Bibik, don't know the lady either." Answer bik Titi."But madam, the one who's looking for the madam is very handsome."
"Handsome?" Beo Nalda is confused."Bibik go on, I'll see the guest."
"Good mistress." After conveying her point, Titi's aunt returned to continue her work that had been delayed earlier, while Nalda will meet the guest who was said by Titi's bik."Fragrant to eat, or want to see the doctor in front of the guests?" Tanya Nalda looked at Harum who was now looking at her.
"Harum over here, wait for the doctor."
"Alright, later if Harum wants to eat, just eat. Don't wait for the doctor." Fragrant nodded her head a sign she understood with Nalda's words."Then the doctor will stay a while."
"Yes the doctor." After the departure of Nalda who went to the guest room, Harum stepped towards the dining table and sat there to wait for Nalda."Mama, look now Harum happy, because many people here love Harum... Not like it used to be that always hurt Harum." Harum said smiling because he felt so happy to get the affection he had been waiting for.
Nalda frowned confusedly, when she saw the tall and sturdy body of someone who was behind her.
"Sorry, mom. Are you looking for me." Nalda asked, as she was behind the man. While the man who was behind him slowly turned his body when he heard Nalda's voice greeting him
."You again!" Nalda said surprised to see who the man who came to the guest was."I just kicked you out, but why are you coming back!" Upset Nalda when she saw the presence of the man, who was none other than Ardian.
"You should be polite to your mistress when a guest comes to your house, not nagging like this." Ardian said, smiling sideways. Nalda who heard Ardian's words put on her sour face, because the man wanted to advise her while her behavior made her dizzy.
"Looh! What do you want sir?" Nalda asked an annoyed snort, but with a voice made soft when asking.
"You're so pretty when you're like this." Inner Ardian smiled faintly as he looked at the dejected face of the woman in front of him that looked extremely adorable."Aware of Ardian, remember your purpose." Inner Ardian reminded him of his purpose why he went to Nalda's house now."Introduce me your new neighbor lady Nalda, my house is next to your house. That's my house." Said Ardian introducing himself while pointing towards the house he had just bought.
"Neighbors?" Nalda muttered softly as she looked towards the house that Ardian had pointed out earlier."It's not that the house has an owner, but why would this man admit, if it's his house?" Inner Nalda was confused as she stared at the house that Ardian had pointed out. Because no one's got to keep the house and the family who occupies it is a lawyer."It's not that the house already has its owner Mr. Ardian, then why can you stay there?" Tanya Nalda looked suspiciously at Ardian.
"Yes, because I just bought it. The old owner just moved in." Ardian replied casually, moreover Ardian understood the suspicious gaze of the woman.
"really? That fast? But I just saw them there this morning." Inner Nalda continued to wonder, because only this morning did the children of the lawyer who lived in the house greet her. I don't know why they moved this afternoon. Although Nalda did not know the family beside her house, but Nalda often met if they were outside.
"Why are you silent, Miss Nalda, do I need to show you my land papers if necessary?" Asked Ardian with a teasing smile.
"No need, I don't need that." Answer Nalda cuek."Then what do you want, instead of you already introducing yourself, as my new neighbor?" Nalda asked in a taut tone as she was annoyed to see the annoying face of the man in front of her.
"As a good neighbor, I just want to give you this, as a sign of our introduction." Ardian replied while handing over the paper bag he had brought.
"What's this?"
"Open up not to be curious." Curious about what Ardian was under, Nalda opened it to check if it was inside.
"Sweet sour fish? And ice cream?"
"Yes, I don't know what you like, so I bought it. As for the ice cream, I bought it for the girls who were in your house. I don't know if he likes it or not. " Answer Ardian.
"So I saw her, so I know madam." Replied Ardian long ago upset also faced all the questions of the woman in front of him."He's a journalist or what the hell, why ask so many questions?" Inner Ardian.
"Oh, okay thanks."
"Yes, thank you again." Ardian replied smiling faintly."Don't you want to introduce me to the girl behind you?" Tanya Ardian looked behind Nalda, who now had Harum standing there at a distance not too far away.
While Nalda who understood with Ardian's gaze also turned around following the direction of Ardian's gaze who was staring into his house."Fragrant, why is it here?" Nalda asked in surprise when she saw the whereabouts of the girl.
"Emmm... Harum was waiting for the doctor, but did not come too, so Harum here to see the doctor." Harum answered hesitantly once in a while his gaze looked towards Ardian with fear.
Nalda, who understood Harum's terrified gaze, stepped closer to the girl, then hugged her and hid the tiny body behind her.
While Ardian who was there could only stare at Fragrant from ignorance, even the frightened gaze of the ten-year-old girl could Ardian feel."Is he afraid of me? But why, I never hurt her? Was it ice cream yesterday? But that's impossible, just because of the ice cream she was immediately afraid of me?" Inner Ardian who had many questions in his mind. Because of each encounter with Harum, surely the girl immediately avoided him with a look of fear.
"Well, is it okay?" The girl just nodded her head, although fear remained in her eyes.
"Mama, fragrant to see you again. But Harum is not close, for fear that papa will not receive Harum later, when you know that Harum is his son and the son of the mother. The woman you hate." A Fragrant Inner who kept staring at Ardian.
"Sorry sir, you better go first. Because my patients seem to be afraid of you." It was not Nalda's intention to expel the man, just to see Harum in fear like now, making him afraid that the trauma of the little girl would recur later.
"It's okay madam, actually I'll also go from there." Ardian replied, after which he stepped out of Nalda's house.
Actually Ardian felt doubt in his heart as he left Nalda's house, without greeting the little girl. But seeing fear in the eyes of Harum makes Ardian forced to leave him.
"What's wrong with you Ardian, why are you so curious about that little girl?" Inner Ardian who just kept stepping away from Nalda's house, occasionally he looked back.
.
.
Nalda crouched down equalizing her height with Harum, then held onto her chin. So that Nalda can look at the girl."Fragrant, was Harum afraid of me?" Tanya Nalda gently looked at Harum who from earlier was silent."Fragrant...."
Fragrant just silence did not answer, which made Nalda, increasingly confused.
"What does Harum hide actually? Is there a secret that this girl is hiding." Inner Nalda was curious.
...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...
"Sorry Mr Fadil, can I say something about Harum's piskis now?" Nalda asked Fadil who was now in the living room. Harum is in the toilet.
"Of course, Dr. Melisenda, what do you want to say?" Answer Fadil who seems curious about what Nalda wants to convey.
"Look at Mr. Fadil. I saw that the Harum piskis had improved but not completely."
"I mean doctor? The fragrance hasn't fully recovered yet?"
"It could be said like that, Mr. Fadil. Because I saw that Harum still had a great fear, about his past where he had been hurt." Obviously Nalda, which made Fadil speechless.
"Will Harum continue like this, doctor?"
"He will recover, if you continue to encourage him and also convince him that the pain he once felt will not happen again. Remind him that you will always be with him." Nalda is serious."And don't let her fear make Harum always hesitate to do something she wants."
"Thank you doctor Melisenda, we'll follow your advice." Fadil replied with a smile."Is there anything that Melisenda's doctor wants to say or ask you again?"
"There really isn't a Mr. Fadil, because what I'm about to ask is definitely not that important." Nalda was not sure what she was going to ask.
"What is a doctor? Just ask if it has to do with Harum's condition now?"
"Sorry Mr. Fadil. Does Harum know Mr Ardian Natan Ronaltan?" Fadil who heard Nalda's question was made silent because he himself was confused about where to explain it from.
"Sorry Doctor Melisenda, for this question I cannot answer. Because only bang Fazar can." Obviously Fadil."Is there anything to do with Mr. Ardian."
"No Mr. Fadil, I'm just asking." Nalda smiled awkwardly, asking a personal question about the family.
Fadil who heard the reply from doctor Melisenda, only nodded his head in understanding.
