The One More Chance
Listening

"He why?" aslan asked Regan to walk over to Gea.

She was just about to go to sleep, but hearing a small thumping sound from the next room, Regan's room made her rush out and see Gea crying.

Aslan sitting beside Gea stroking her hair to calm the girl, Gea's head looked up at Regan who was still standing in front of her and then turned to Aslan.

"This is malem loh Ge" said Aslan lirih.

"What's Javir saying to you?" this time Regan asked to the point.

Gea's head lowered, "not doing anything."

"Why so cry?"

"Not Away Ar" this time Gea's voice squeaked.

"Is it because you rejected the match?"

Chief Gea nodded.

"He's angry that you rejected him?"

This time Gea's head shook his head.

"What does it matter?, why are women always so complicated?." Regan walked over next to Gea.

Aslan leaned his back against the headbed, "do you hear something like dramas or so-called soap operas" Aslan guessed.

Gea chuckled even though her tears were dripping back, "yupz .. Like in soap operas and dramas, I listened to her say something."

Regan and Aslan looked at each other and then looked at Gea who looked strange in their eyes because she laughed and said, Gea was actually crying happily or sad they did not know.

"The crying is sleeping" Aslan said.

Gea climbed up onto Regan's bed and crossed her legs, "why don't you know what I'm up to?."

"Because we don't want to force."

"Say your Mother is not the same story as Mother and Father, so I think it's very difficult to tell?" Regan looked at Gea inside.

Gea's head nodded with a grin that grinned his lips, staring at Aslan in such a way as to make Aslan frown.

"Do I look like a kid you can fool?" gea asked with a serious face.

Aslan looked at Gea more and more strangely, "why are you asking me that?."

Plaque ...

Regan patted Aslan's thigh, "just answer why the hell"

Aslan sighed, "sometimes yes sometimes no, one day you will act like a child, but when faced with a serious problem you look grown up." Aslan glanced at Regan, "Ar is too, she's like a child when she's with people she knows, but very cold and mature when she meets other people."

"Why do you think?"

Aslan shrugged his shoulders answering Gea's question, "i don't know why you are like that, but if Ar is the teaching of Mother who always teaches to be strong do not show kindness to others other than people who really understand you."

Gea smiled looking up at Regan's bedroom sky, "she thinks I'm a kid just like you." Gea paused for a moment, "but I'm not a stupid kid who's willing to be a dumpster" he continued.

Gea fell silent again, still smiling but closing her eyes permeated all the disappointed feelings she tried to pat and remove.

"Gea" call Regan lirih.

"I heard him talking to his friend at a nightclub" Gea said.

"You to the night club?" asked Aslan in a slightly high tone.

Gea looked at Aslan smilingly as she tilted her head, "i'm just trying to figure out the nightlife. That night I hadn't been inside the club, I saw him coming out of the club, so I hid and there I listened to everything."

Flashbacks

"Don't forget before going to bed you take a shower so that the smell of alcohol is not stuck in your body, you strange want a fiancee tomorrow even teler now."

Gea hears Javir's friend's voice.

"It's our farewell bro... after I fiancee .. I'm out of the country.. I'm finally back free like Papa I'm still in Madura wahahha ..." Javir said it disjointedly. "Ah .. I'm bosen so good boy keep."

"Gue's still not sure Ladykiller guy like you want fiancee with a new kid in high school."

The sound of Javir's last laugh, made Gea clutching his own collar waiting for Javir's response.

"Wahahaha .. how else?, I want my freedom back so .... the only way I have to fiancee ... outside the country later I am free to do anything."

"You mean crazy there but here's a tunagan lo?, if he knows how."

"She may not know, little boy like him mah as long as I'm being nice in front of him everything is sorted out, like I'm the same Papa I am, so good boy in front of him."

They laughed loosely together, unlike Gea who was struck by hearing it, but at that time Gea could only smile a little.

Hearing Gea's story, Aslan can understand if Gea feels trivial here. Javir really does not know the real figure of Gea.

"What does this have to do with the dumpster you said?" regan asked, Gea turned her head to frown. "Mother the story to us, Mother even told it in the mail."

Gea's head lowered deeply, sighing many times before answering Regan's question.

"She enjoyed her free life here, but I as her fiance there knew nothing. After he has tasted that he is content to live his free life, he will come back to me?, I am not a trash can that receives dirty garbage even though it can be recycled, I ..." the Gea water is back flowing. "I feel this karma from what Mami did," Gea turned to Regan.

"After Mami's free life she returns to Dad and makes Dad's household messy without thinking about Mother's feelings, do I have to accept karma from what Dad felt because of Mami's behavior?. At first I accepted it .. I thought it was karma and destiny that I had to live .. but ... after I thought if I could?, I couldn't."

Gea's cry broke again, Regan pulled Gea's body in her arms, stroking Gea's head to calm down.

"Am I wrong?" tanya Gea raspy.

"No, not wrong" whispered Regan.

"I love him .. I love him .. but I don't want to be a dumpster .. I don't want to be just a spare item ... I want a sincere man to love me Ar.." - as Gea put it.

"Yes you don't deserve to be the same place" Aslan looked at Gea with a small smile.

He felt as if what Gea said was what he wanted to feel, Aslan was him, Aslan loved him, but Aslan had to be willing to let go.

"I want to forget her .. but she's my first love Ar. .. it's hard to forget her."

Yes, the girl is also Aslan's first love, and Aslan knows how hard it is to forget her even though Aslan has changed girlfriends.

Dretc ...

Aslan's phone trembled, lazily Aslan raised Javir's call without any intention of staying away from Gea and Regan.

"Gue has heard everything" Jabir said casually.

Aslan glanced to the left right looking for a wiretapper Javir might have installed in Regan's room, his gaze stopped on a small table beside Regan's bed, there was a gift watch from Javir up there.

"But I called you not because of that" continued Javir, "the new idea sent a photo, is it true Zia who once met you at your party?, he said?, if you do pick him up now before he's under someone else."

Javir disconnected, Aslan's face panicked but he tried to calm down, his fingers began to scroll through his screen.

Regan looked at Aslan questioningly, Aslan showed the photo Javir sent to Regan without explaining.

"I'm leaving" said Aslan.

Regan simply replied with a nod of her head.

Out of the door of Regan's room, Aslan sees Zahra standing by the door with her index finger on her lips, Zahra listening to all of Gea's stories.

In Indonesia

Prabu threw a chocolate map right in front of Vira who had just entered his room.

Uninterrupted by Prabu's intimate gaze, Vira took the map, taking out its contents which turned out to contain several photos and papers.

"Explain clearly, I'll listen. Never wait for me to force you to speak" Javir threatened with a hissing voice restraining anger.

Slowly Vira looked at Prabu, he had just carried out one small plan, but Prabu had already found it.

"I'll just listen won't say anything before you're done."

Vira's smile slowly rose, "i only met them to be honest who I really am."

Prabu sat while leaning on the back of the chair, crossed his legs and linked his fingers sitting so relaxed.

While Vira also acted as calm as possible so as not to look nervous because of the intimidating look from Prabu.

Seeing Vira who was silent for a long time Prabu smiled then said, "don't mess with me, if you intend to destroy this company just say. In an hour I will destroy it, and you will never see Jaya Indah again."
