Secret Denis
The Forty Seven

The atmosphere of deep sorrow was so felt in the cemetery area filled with mourners in black clothes. Alex stood dumbstruck watching all the funeral processions of Arga Dinata with a sad look behind his sunglasses.

Next to him a crouching young man touched the navel with his face down. Showing deep sadness by just staying still for a long time.

Not far from them some people in black-black suits and sunglasses, always seem to be on standby. And so is every corner of the place. It was obvious that the place was guarded so strictly by Alex's men. All are on standby in their respective places with a high level of compliance.

One by one, the mourners left the cemetery. Leaving behind some of the closest people who are still loyal shows condolences to the late Arga Dinata that they respect so much.

The man who had been sitting on the side of the navel for some time, finally straightened his body. Touching the corner of his eye to wipe the liquid that came out just like that. He then aligns his body with Alex who is only one step away from where he is.

"Thank you for letting me see papa." His voice was hoarse and half whispered. The person he was talking to was still trembling in his thoughts. It was as if he had not heard what Reno had just said. His eyes are protected by sunglasses. But the look on his face showed all the sorrow he was feeling.

Two men approached Reno and immediately pulled her hand away from Alex. There was no rejection from Reno. He followed the steps of the people who pulled him away from the place where Arga Dinata's body was buried. Sometimes he turned to look at Alex who was now crouching beside the navel.

Denis, who had been not far from Alex, approached the man. His gaze was sad behind the black glasses attached to his face. He faithfully accompanied Alex without saying a word. Let him be alone with his deep sadness. Until the man stood up again and breathed heavily.

After being satisfied to look at the navel of his papa, Alex then left the place followed by Denis and his other men. They got into the car and left the place.

The silent atmosphere in the car that was traveling at speed was splitting the road. Denis who drives only occasionally glances at Alex who sits in the back seat. The man's mouth had been tight since they left the funeral.

Denis recalled how hysterical the man was when he found out his papa had breathed his last while he was not with his papa. Alex had forgotten his warrants as a company official by crying roaring to call his papa. Anyone who saw him at that time must have felt the deep sadness that the man felt. Including Denis. He even had to hide his tears when he saw Alex's situation.

Alex calmed down a bit when Denis grabbed him and let the man's head rest on his shoulder. Denis could feel the loss Alex felt. His heart ached and felt the deep sadness Alex felt.

Until they get home, Alex's situation hasn't changed. He was still silent and set foot into his papa's study. He closed the door of the room as soon as he entered it regardless of Denis's whereabouts who kept following him.

Denis just stared at the man and allowed Alex to be alone for a while. He himself then entered his room and cleaned himself in the bathroom.

Until dinner time Alex didn't come out of his papa's study. Denis initially thought the man had returned to his room. But when Denis checked his room to take him to dinner, it turned out that Alex's room was empty and still neat. Denis then knocked on the workspace that Alex had entered the afternoon.

There was no confirmation from inside the room. Denis tried to open it. Turns out the door wasn't locked. Denis entered the room. Instantly he saw Alex sitting leaning on the seat of greatness Arga Dinata. His eyes were closed with his clothes that were already out of order. His hand held a bottle of drink that was half-full. Denis was quite surprised to see that. As long as he knew Alex, he never once saw Alex drink alcohol. The man lived a healthy life by not consuming alcohol and also not smoking.

This is the first time Denis has seen Alex in such a worrying state.

Carefully he took the bottle in the man's grasp. His movements turned out to make Alex a little surprised. With great difficulty, he opened his eyes.

"Let's take you to the room." Denis pulled Alex's hand to stand up.

"I don't want to. I want to be here with papa. She must be sad to be left alone." Alex claps Denis' hand trying to wake him from the chair he's sitting in.

Denis grimacing. Actually she's not strong with a pungent scent that's pouring out of Alex's mouth. But seeing his very chaotic circumstances made him not have the heart to leave him alone in the room.

Denis had indeed hung out with street children who were very thick with his free association. But he never took part in consuming alcohol because he did not like it. He also never wanted to try it even though there were some friends who persuaded him to taste the drink.

"Hey..Denis..you know? I don't have anyone anymore now. Same as you, right?" Alex chuckles at the end of his sentence. "So, from now on, we should stick together. Don't ever leave me. Okay well? Because what? Because our fate is the same. Me alone, you are alone. We'll stay together forever." Alex got up from his seat. His body was slightly unsteady as he stepped closer to Denis. Her eyes were reddened and I looked at Denis and her steps were getting closer. Slowly Denis retreated his steps until his heels clashed with the wall. Denis was shocked when he felt the wall behind his back.

"But I have to know one thing." Alex has gotten very close to Denis. One of his hands rested on the wall next to Denis' head. "Who are you. Who exactly? Why do you always make my heart beat when you're around?" His right hand raised touched Denis's chin. Rotating Denis' face while watching him with his eyelids getting heavier.

"Your face is as smooth as a woman's. Are you a girl?" Alex aligns his face with Denis's. Now the distance is getting closer. Just a few inches. Denis was still silent with his breath held. It was not because of the smell of alcohol gushing out from the man's mouth that was so close. But his breathing almost stopped because his heart was pumping too fast. Until he forgot to breathe.

"Why do I feel the desire.." The face is getting closer. Denis squeezed his fingers tightly clenched beside his body. His consciousness went nowhere when he suddenly couldn't move his limbs. His body feels stiff. His brain feels frozen.

Brugh!

Alex's face fell on Denis's boat. His heavy body almost made Denis fall. Fortunately, his consciousness soon recovered. Denis immediately straightened his body while holding Alex's body so as not to fall. For a moment he was fixated while hugging Alex who seemed to have become unconscious.

Denis closed his eyes. His nose was filled with the scent of Alex's hair which now covered part of his face. Unknowingly her fingers squeezed Alex's clothes.

With a little difficulty Denis dragged Alex's burly body towards the sofa which was not far from where he stood. Carefully he laid the man's body with his position still facing his body. When he had laid Alex's head on the couch he intended to straighten his bent body. But his hand was suddenly pulled by Alex so he fell on the man's body. That's not all. Even his lips were now on the man's lips and were attached for a while.

Denis' eyes were wide open. Now he had completely forgotten how to breathe. This is the first touch of his lips. When his consciousness returns, Denis immediately lifts his body away from Alex's body. But instead the man wrapped his hands around Denis body and his lips moved agilely memagut Denis lips.

With all his strength Denis broke away from Alex's embrace while releasing the link of Alex's lips to his lips. He jumped away from the limp-drooping Alex with his eyes closed. The man's lips sipped as if looking for something he had just felt.

Denis rubbed his mouth violently and immediately walked out of the room. Closing the door of the Arga Dinata workspace in panic. For a moment he leaned against that door neutralizing his heart that seemed to be jumping up and down. His breath was stingy and his chest felt tight. His knees were limp and could barely support his weight.

Crazy one! This is totally insane!
