The Old House Papa
Chapter 45.

It was late in the afternoon, Haris waited for Aldi at the hotel but did not return as well, He was a little anxious then went out to find Aldi around the hotel. Haris had tried to call Aldi's phone from noon, until now the phone was not active even Haris checked on social media and there was no news from Aldi.

Not long after Aldi went into their hotel room, a little relieved to see his son was back because tomorrow they would leave early in the morning back to their residence. But Haris was a little worried to see the look on the face of Aldi, who looked sad and also moody.

Haris approached Aldi and noticed the clothes worn by Aldi, Haris was surprised to see Aldi full of cuts and bruises. As her father Haris worried then asked, why the condition of her body could be like that.

"This is okay pa..., Aldi was too excited to exercise and did not realize Aldi fell and then cuts and abrasions."

"And Papa did not have to worry, Aldi had been to the clinic around here and then treat it in the clinic." again Aldi lied a little to his father.

He does not want to tell the truth to Haris, Aldi knows must not like him and will be angry with him. And Aldi also does not want to disappoint the heart of Haris, who knows that Aldi met his stepfather and find out about the condition of his mother.

That afternoon Aldi went to clean himself in the bathroom. He cleaned his whole body, then went to his bed to sleep. Aldi was tired of one day going with Ana, visiting her parents.

Aldi slept very well, not even waking up when Haris woke him up for dinner. Haris also allowed his son to stay asleep, he thought his son was quite exhausted for one day was outside.

When Haris wants to go out for dinner, Aldi is delirious and mentions Laras in his sleep. Haris was surprised and then remembered that usually Haris to Jakarta always met Laras. But this time Haris felt Aldi his son, had been called like he used to be able to meet Laras girl pujaan his heart.

Haris did not continue to step out of the hotel room. He stepped onto a sofa and sat there. Had in his mind thought of wanting to meet Laras and see his current condition secretly.but all those thoughts were dismissed, not to want to think of Laras again.

Haris stepped out of the hotel room to get some fresh air outside, he chose a cafe that was near the beach to enjoy the night view and the breeze from the beach swept his face. There Haris calmed his mind and heart, which again remembered his former lover.

Until now Haris has not been able to move on or remove the shadows of Prohibition from his mind. Haris took out his cigarette box, took out a cigarette to smoke and enjoyed the tobacco he burned. In his current chaotic mind, he would rather burn his cigarette and blow the smoke out of his nose and mouth.

In his sleep Aldi dreamed back Laras to see him and also thanked him for visiting his house this afternoon. She smiled like a mother who was so happy, had not seen her child for a long time. And this time the house of Laras was visited by his son by offering prayers and holy verses to be given to him.

Aldi had already begun to understand and he did not question the situation of his mother who was now calm there. In the dream, Laras hugged and kissed Aldi as a mother loved her child, but for Aldi it felt like it was not a dream. it was the last greeting from Laras to his son who was already unable to meet again as he was when he was alive.

Haris who was still on the beach enjoying a cigarette and also the breeze, saw the atmosphere of the beach on that night was very quiet and no one was on the edge of the beach.

Aldi's gaze saw a woman in white clothes who was very familiar to him. The shape and height of the woman is exactly the same as the barrel, so it makes the day very curious about the woman.

When Haris almost brought himself closer to the woman, but what he saw was not a woman, but the reflection of moonlight playing on the beach.

harris heart was very sad even he was crying brought by the moonlight that played the waves on the beach. Without him noticing her lips mentioned the word Laras and called out the name repeatedly. A glass bottle approached Harris right at his feet on the sand of the beach, the glass bottle carried by the waves right in front of Haris.

had to be silent and take the glass bottle it was tightly sealed but there was a letter inside. The bottle was opened by Haris and took out the paper for him to see, he was very curious about the contents of the glass bottle.

"Today, there are still people who just throw a paper in a bottle and thrown into the ocean" murmured Haris who felt it was very ancient.

Letter Contents

The bottle was opened and the paper was seen, it turned out that there was a writing that touched his heart. And he even felt disbelief in what was going on with him at this moment.A writing prescribed for his beloved lover.

...For those of you I still love......

I will keep your shadow in my heart.

Even when I am currently dead and unable to touch even hug your body anymore.

Forgive all my mistakes, and never say it when I was in the world.

Now is the chance to say sorry after I'm gone in the world.

To my beloved and beloved please let me no longer cry.

We are different and each path is for you, my beloved Haris.

From your lover, from your beloved, from your beloved, to your

When Haris was shocked to read the letter, it turned out that the letter in the bottle was a letter from Laras to him. In it it is clearly written, that Laras is now gone. Words that show our world is different and also apologies that were not spoken when alive, he said, making Haris hit hard because he did not know the events of Laras's death at this time.

Haris cries and the more grievous his heart, he must know that Laras's departure is no longer in this world through a letter that someone has delivered to him. Here the father and son must feel the pain that is now engulfing them both they do not know anything about the events and death of Laras at that time. and they also have to be sincere about what has happened to their lives and also the departure of Laras who so surprised Harris and Aldi his son.
