The Destiny of the Disconnected
Chapter 40 The Nature of Aiden

Five hours later

"This kid is really good at sleeping. I could not bear to wake up" said Aiden staring at Rumi whose body had been covered in his suit. He covers Rumi for fear that the cold night air will make her fall ill.

He saw his watch. See what time it is.

"The school must be closed now" threw a glance at the window "I have to wake the boy up. Then I'll be home soon, and have to work on some more paperwork at home" he stood up from his office chair.

But had not had time to step, he looked back at the woman who was exposed to the moonlight from outside the window. Showing his face while still sleeping. A face that looks calm is not like when he wakes up later.

His brows furrowed and slammed his body on the chair "This kid frustrates me really. I've never been this desperate before"

His two black eyeballs stared coldly at Rumi. His gaze was like someone who was eyeing the prey of "I thought, being next to him would be boring. But otherwise. None of his traits is not boring. It made me even more interested" a slanted grin appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Why should Mr. Wibowo have me look after this child. Sometimes Rumi is troublesome. I hope the principal frees me from being assigned to protect this woman. So that I wouldn't have to bother acting" resentment emanated from Aiden's eyes.

He leaned back in his chair, stretching his stiff muscles because he had to do his work all day "But if he had to be next to the boy any longer. It doesn't matter. After all, the boy comforted me with his whereabouts"

He picked up the phone lying on his desk. Open the camera app. And take a photo of Rumi in the moonlight with a set of his favorite black and white paintings. Feeling that Rumi who fell asleep was in harmony with the dark painting.

"Yes, let it all flow. Then fate will answer everything" Aiden smiled. I like the photos. Get up from his seat. Approaching Rumi and waking her up.

"Rumi, get up" he poked her tapered cheek.

Slowly but surely. Rumi started to open both eyes. He lifted his heavy and aching back after five hours of sleep in a position that never changed from the beginning. Sitting on the couch, showing his pillow face.

"What time is it now" asked Rumi as he rubbed his eyes that were still closed. Then he yawns, his body telling him that Rumi still needs more rest.

(I where?) he looked down blankly at Aiden's coat on his thigh.

"Almost in at half-nine in the evening. I want to lock the door, so get up. Tidy up your clothes before you go out" Aiden said. Slightly ducked down to fix the long hair of the woman who had already collapsed. Even though the school environment is no longer active because it is night. The man just didn't want any no-no rumors about the two of them to circulate. It will only create new problems.

"Ah, yes" Rumi nodded. But didn't follow Aiden's orders to fix the shirt. Just sit with your eyes closed. Aiden breathed. Continue to fix the collar of the woman's shirt. Like a father taking care of his daughter.

"Stop looking at me like that. Now put your shoes on" after finishing with Rumi. He walked to the window to close the curtains.

Rumi nodded her head. Put on his shoes immediately. They both finally left the room. And walking down the hall that looked like an uninhabited building so gripping the atmosphere of the night at that time. Only Aiden's pantofel shoes were the noisiest that echoed along the hallway.

"Aren't you afraid?" he glanced at Rumi who was next to him.

"Sir"

"Girls will usually be afraid of this kind of atmosphere"

(That's because they're timid) Rumi's inner

"I'm not afraid. Because in my opinion, the scariest thing is a rotten-hearted human being" said Rumi made Aiden stunned for a moment to hear his words. The woman said it as if she had ever felt the rottenness of the human heart.

Aiden then smiled hesitantly. Confused to respond to what "You're right, people are like that sometimes" he just said that.

Rumi opened the door of her dorm room. At that time he saw Elina who was wara-wiri with a look of panic while holding a cellphone in her ear. When he realizes the person who opened the door of his room is Rumi. He quickly approached her.

"Where did you come from, I called so many times why wasn't it answered. I was waiting for you from school but you didn't come"

Rumi closed the dormitory door after entering "You brought my bag, right?"

"Yes, where might I stay"

"OK good" he immediately walked away to the bathroom after taking off his school shoes.

"Take me, where you're going" her legs follow where Rumi goes

"There" he closed the bathroom door. Making Elina stop just as Rumi closed the bathroom door.

His brows curved up forming a sad expression. Seeing Rumi doesn't want to be honest with her. He was very worried about his friend.

"When I'm hungry, I cook. Food on the kitchen table. I went to bed first" cried Elina.

"okay"
