The Destiny of the Disconnected
Chapter 37 Painting

(Why are the students here staring at me like that) his eyes go around. A little afraid of the people he met in the hallway.

"Ehhh, Ouch" for not focusing on the road. It felt like he was hitting something high and hard. He made his little body fall on the floor.

"Sorrys sorry. I don't see" said Elina. His hand stroked the head that was slightly smeared due to the impact earlier. He lifted his head. Seeing a mature brown-skinned man half bent with both hands supporting the body at the knees. Like a half-crim move.

With a guilty expression the man apologized "I'm sorry, are you okay?" he held out his hand to Elina who was still sitting on the floor.

Elina received the speech, holding a large hand that helped her stand up "You are gapapa? Is anyone sick? Going to the UKS?" Staring at Elina from foot to hair. She was afraid that she would get hurt because of her.

"I-i'm good. Don't worry" Elina smiled with her arched brows, not used to being treated like this.

The man sighed "Thank God"

Her anxious face now disappeared replaced by an expressionless face while looking at Elina deeply. Like it's glaring.

Elina who is quite uncomfortable open the voice "Sorry, if no one wants to talk about it anymore. I'm going"

The man realized "Ehhh, no. I was just making sure of something" she stopped Elina from taking her first steps.

"Confirms?"

"Yes. My name is Liam, greetings. You're Elina Rumi's friend, right?"

His eyebrows shot up "Right, how did you know?"

"When you passed out in the bathroom. I watched Rumi take you to the hospital. Until he didn't come for days to school"

"Keep, Rumi came to fight with bullies in our school. He said it was all because they bullied his friend Elina Yora 1-A"

"So don't be surprised if the school people look at you like that" Liam smiled gently at Elina.

Elina was starting to understand the situation now. He was quite astonished because he who was a victim of bullying even became the initial milestone he began to be known. Sometimes not in a positive way.

He looked at Liam "So that's it. Thanks for the info, what class are you in? I guess I never saw it" he said.

"Class 2. I'm your upperclassman, maybe that's why you rarely see me" he still showed me a faint smile

Dissappearance of faces. Aware he was talking to his upperclassman using a disrespectful language "Eh, sorry, Brother Liam. I didn't know that you were my upperclassman" Elina leaned in showing her guilt.

"Father, you don't know either"

In shame. A red hue crawled up to her cheek "I go first well sister" Elina instantly turned around and walked with a fast rhythm.

Liam looked at Elina who was already quite far away from him. Then he smiled again, turned his body around and dispersed from the place.

Rumi opens the door to Aiden's room.

When his head came in. The first thing he saw was, The man stood sideways and only showed half his body with the sunlight from outside the window reflecting his shadow. His hands crossed while staring at the large black-and-white abstract painting right in front of him.

"Sir.." he wrote.

Rumi closed the door slowly so as not to startle Aiden and slowly approached him.

"Sir Aiden.." still trying to call.

Aiden was still staring blankly at the painting without realizing Rumi was there. He approached her and stood next to Aiden. Looked at the painting.

"This painting is as good as it is well until you do not turn away" this time his words managed to disperse Aiden's daydreams.

Aiden opened his eyes wide "When have you been here?" he took a few steps back in shock.

"Not for too long. I hit your door repeatedly but there was no word. So I just go in" he said casually.

Aiden was silent and walked a few steps holding the painting "Either, I have no reason to" Aiden murmured.

(This man is more unstable than me. Time has no reason?) inner Rumi looked at Aiden exasperatedly.

Aiden turned to Rumi "Why did you come to my office? I don't think I called you"

Rumi almost forgot her original purpose of coming to Aiden's office "I want you to find information about someone at this school".

His eyebrows go up next to "I'm not intel, so I can't help" he said.

"Mother can do it"

Aiden sighed "What do you want to find out?"

Rumi slowly smiled "Arka Naresh Wistara"

***

"Arka Naresh Wistara's. He is the sole heir of the company and the only son of the Hirawa family" Aiden said reading a piece of paper in hand that was information about Arka.

Rumi sat on the sofa behind the sofa attached to Aiden's favorite painting. While propping up his chin. Listen carefully to Aiden's words.

"The adopted child. Has a friendly personality, smart and talented" after reading it. Aiden glanced at Rumi who was focusing on looking at him.

"That germ?" Tanya Rumi was not satisfied.

Aiden opened his desk drawer. Put that paper in there "Yes, isn't it enough?"

He took a long breath "No, thank you sir"

His hand massaged the temple while closing his eyes (The formation of Mr. Aiden did not help me. All I want to know is why Arka suddenly moved here. Is he looking for someone? Wh who? L'm kah? But that was impossible, given our farewell back then. He won't look for me) inwardly. Overthinking now.

Aiden looked at his disciple who was leaning against the long sofa. His mind is very sharp. This student is very unique. A few days ago he made a case. Now come to ask himself about the Disciple named Arka. Aiden who is a typical person does not like to interfere in the affairs of others. Sometimes it is curious about the past of the half-sane woman. Especially when in Rooftop, he saw a lot of paintings of wounds all over his body. What happened in Rumi's past?

He walked over and sat down at the empty spot next to Rumi. Looking to the side "Don't wrinkle your forehead like that" Aiden pulled Rumi's hand that was massaging the temple.

Rumi suddenly woke up from the sea of thoughts that were in his head. He looked at Aiden who was suddenly beside him. Not yet aware that his left hand that was used to massage the temple was in the hands of the man.

"I-iya" replied Rumi

(Tumben this kid isn't angry I'm holding it) Aiden's inner self. Usually Rumi will sensi or overreact if Aiden even accidentally touches her. But his reaction now was the opposite of his habit.

"Try relaxing, take a deep breath"

Rumi follows Aiden's instructions. Take a deep breath.

"OK good, now take it out"

He breathed out slowly.

"It's quieter? Are you thinking a lot more?"

Rumi nodded "So you know I have more thoughts?"

Aiden pointed at his forehead with the index finger "Your heart is so tight that it makes a long river" accompanied by Aiden's smile.

Rumi reflex sings his eyebrows that had been bent until he formed a solution "Yes I was so".

"Let's just look at it if you don't believe"

"I didn't say I didn't believe it"

Rumi tightens her grip on Aiden (Hand sir Aiden is hot. My hands became warmer) his mind while staring at the grasp of their hands.
