Nightfall. I don't know why, it feels so painful. Liora sat by the window, staring at the sky so dark there was no moonlight above her. Does the sky know that tonight Liora is sad?
Liora's memory goes back to the incident earlier this afternoon, she hopes that it was a dream and she won't lose Alvin. Sooner or later, Liora will lose Alvin but for now, Liora is not ready. Alvin had a big part in his life.
Jennie keeps contacting Liora, asking about Liora's situation because the girl saw the whole thing. But not a single call from Jennie was picked up. After the departure of her parents to France, Liora kept quiet in the room.
THE CZECH!
"It's not good that you're away from the man, then you won't sin because you're close to another man" Zelvin said.
His footsteps walked closer towards Liora. Zelvin looked at Liora, the girl looked very pitiful. But for some reason, he wanted to see how he was. He was worried that this girl in front of him was doing something stupid.
Liora turned her head, she smiled faintly. "Sister Zelvin's been eating?" liora asked trying to cover up her sadness.
Zelvin rolled his eyes lazily. "Isn't that a good question for yourself. Have you eaten?"
Liora shook her head, "I'm not hungry, later if I'm hungry."
Zelvin took his breath away, he declared Liora's nature, because Liora's age must still be labile to her feelings. "If you don't eat, go to sleep! Don't worry like this, it's useless!" zelvin said firmly.
"Sister Zelvin first, I'm not sleepy yet" said Liora a little upset who heard Zelvin's words earlier.
Zelvin took his breath away. "Sleep, tomorrow I go to France for three days. Please take care of Emmanuel, "he ordered.
Liora looked at Zelvin, "Three days?" liora Beo.
Zelvin nodded.
"Yes, brother Zelvin take care of himself there."
"Hem. Now that you sleep Liora, bi Moni has permission to go home so you take care of this mansion. Understood?" zelvin.
Liora simply nodded her head in obedience to her husband's orders.
"Learn to cook, like a wife who cooks for her husband" Zelvin said.
Liora clucked bitterly, "Yes."
...****************...
"Where's daddy?" ask Emmanuel.
Liora looked at the neat little Emmanuel in her school uniform. "Your Daddy went to France on business. Missed huh? Patience is only 3 days."
Emmanuel paused for a moment, then said, "Where's Moni?"
"Go home" Liora replied.
"So it's just the two of us here?"
Liora nodded, "Yes, so we can do anything."
Liora led Emmanuel to the dinner table. He had already baked bread with chocolate filling because Emmanuel liked the taste of chocolate. Emmanuel ate his breakfast, he finished it voraciously. After she finished eating, Liora picked up a tissue and cleaned Emmanuel's lips.
"Will you pick up Auntie or Mr Patrick?" ask Liora
"Aunty's busy?" ask Emmanuel.
Liora nodded, "Actually not too much, but if you want to pick up Aunty maybe Aunty will be a little late because the distance between the Aunty campus and your school is quite far," he said.
"I'm getting Auntie."
"Are you serious?"
Emmanuel nodded.
"Yes already. Nuel, how about we go on a bike? In front of the bike, we'll just use it, how?" liora bargain.
"Isn't that bike for bi Moni to go to the market?"
Liora nodded, "Iya gapapa, after all bi Moni will return home. Wouldn't you?" hail Liora again.
Emmanuel nodded.
"Prepare, we're off now!"
Emmanuel hugged Liora tightly. Actually, Liora was not pedaling the bike very fast, even Liora was pedaling it very slowly. But since this was the first time for Emmanuel, he felt fear, fear of falling. Emmanuel loves riding a bike.
"Nuel, are you scared?" ask Liora.
"What Aunt?" shouted Emmanuel.
"You scared?"
Emmanuel shook his head, "No."
"Thank God."
Emmanuel tightened his embrace. If I can be honest, Liora took very good care of him. Treating him like a child, it makes Emmanuel try new things that are fun. Emmanuel finds a mother figure in Liora's soul, but she finds it difficult to accept Liora completely because Liora manages to steal his Daddy's attention while His Daddy often ignores him.
Behind it all, there was a black car following them a considerable distance away. The car inside contained sturdy and black-clad people.
"Sir, Madame Liora looks cool pedaling her bike," one of the men fought.
"Keep watching, let's not get why. If there are any blisters, it's you I killed!" threaten Zelvin's. The man shuddered in horror, for they knew the dark world of a Zelvin.
Zelvin took a breath, he stared at the laptop screen that featured Liora carrying a bicycle that was used to wear bi Moni, but instead he was the one who was wearing it. Zelvin closed his eyes, why was the little girl always doing unexpected things like this?
"Keep watching them!" zelvin's orders before disconnecting.
...****************...
"Alvin," call Liora.
Alvin stopped his footsteps, he turned his body around looking at Liora who looked chaotic. Unfortunately, with her puffy eyes, slightly red nose and simple clothes, Liora looked very beautiful.
"Alvin, I'm sorry."
Alvin smiled cynically. "I'm sorry? You just thought, Liora can I forgive all your lies? Heh just crazy. I swear to you, Lio, you are like the worst man in my life. You may have been married but still close to me. That's that cheap, are you?"
Liora shook her head, "I can clear everything, but maa-"
"Sorry again? Hey wake up, Liora! Your mistakes are fatal, damn it! You realize you've made me sick, what do you want now?"
Liora lowered her head, for the first time Liora heard Alvin that hard.
"Don't stay with me, Al," Liora said. Alvin rounded his eyes upon hearing Liora's request.
Alvin pushed Liora's body. "Crazy, you! You already have a husband. Keep saying tell me not to stay with you. I'm not the guy who did the stupid thing a second time. And, oh yeah Lio, I'd like to say, that I'm so sorry I liked a cheap girl like you!"
Liora walked over, "Alvin!" liora.
"Originally you know, not only are you the victim here, but so am I!" shouted Liora.
Alvin laughed wickedly, "You? Even the worst main character in my life is you, Liora! Do you know how much I love you? And you easily marry someone else when you always pay attention to me and make me higher!"
"You're not enough of a man, are you? Pay your husband less so you look for another?"
Liora shook her head, not believing Alvin's words.
THE PLAQUE!
"Fuck you, Alvin!" liora before Alvin's death. Intention to repair the damaged, but in fact the damaged one is difficult to repair.
"Liora, are you okay?" ask Jennie.
Liora shook her head. His face was so red, he wanted to cry right now.
Liora hugged Jennie tightly, she cried in Jennie's arms. "I don't want to be rich, Jen. I don't want to. I hate my life now, Jen. I hate the reality of my life. Alvin hates me Jen, I don't know what to do."
Jennie stroked Liora's back which shook violently, "Father, cry alone.You are strong, you are great and you are able to live this all."
"But Alvin, Jen! Alvin!"
"Yes, I know. Alvin's just mad at you, he'll accept this fact. Remember Liora, you're now someone's wife."
Liora let go of her embrace, her eyes were puffy, her nose was extremely red. "I don't know who told Alvin this. Plus yesterday, my own husband told me in front of Alvin."
"Where does your husband go now?"
"France, there's work." Liora wiped away the trace of her tears.
"Liora, you're great already at this stage. Don't ever give up whatever trouble you're in, there's me, I'm here for you."
Liora nodded and smiled faintly, "What time is it?"
"Hour 11, why?"
"I have to pick up my son at school."
"You're coming."
"You got a car?"
Jennie nodded. "Yes take it."
"Come on, I'm afraid Emmanuel's waiting for me."
...****************...
"Emmanuel!" liora shouted as she waved her hand to Emmanuel.
Emmanuel stood up from his seat, he stepped his foot towards Liora. "Sorry old aunt, you've been out of school for a long time?"
Emmanuel shook his head. Jennie glanced at Liora, she saluted Liora. Emmanuel, it is very visible that he is a difficult child to approach but he also cannot avoid that stepson Liora is very handsome for children her age.
"Nuel, know this Aunt Jennie, her friend Auntie," said Liora introduced Jennie to Emmanuel.
Jennie smiled, "Hi Emmanuel, Aunt Jennie. Greetings," said Jennie
"Emmanuel" replied Emmanuel.
"Nuel, would you like to take a walk?" liora bargain.
"Road?"
Liora nodded, "Yes, we'll walk to the mall with Auntie and Aunt Jennie and continue to travel around Seoul. Wanna?"
"You, Auntie."
"Let's go!"
Emmanuel got into Jennie's car and she sat in the back seat.
Not felt, they have spent a lot of time to play in the mall. Emmanuel's face looks very happy, especially when Liora takes him to play on the timezone and watch the film Spiderman in the cinema. Emmanuel laughs a lot for today, Liora is so happy to see a smile adorning Emmanuel's handsome face.
Emmanuel's smile was beautiful, Liora liked it. Especially when that little boy keeps not as me as he used to. Emmanuel looks more relaxed.
"Lio, your son must be hungry. Don't eat first?" ask Jennie.
Liora looked at Emmanuel, "Nuel, are you hungry?"
Emmanuel nodded his head.
Liora and Jennie chuckled at Emmanuel's innocence. "Yes, let's eat first. Want sushi?"
Emmanuel nodded again.
They set foot into a Japanese restaurant in the mall. Liora ordered food and soon the waiter brought their order.
"Please eat it."
Emmanuel immediately ate the sushi that was already in front of him. Emmanuel ate very well. "Looks like Nuel's really hungry, huh?" jennie Syndicate.
Liora chuckled, "Gapapa, just eat," Liora defended as she stroked Emmanuel's hair.
"Later after this, we stop by the dress shop huh? Kasian Emmanuel is not comfortable wearing his uniform," Liora said.
"Yes, I want clothes too. After from here we go for a walk, afraid Emmanuel hunted tired again this afternoon. How's it?" jennie's advice.
"May," said Liora agreeing with Jennie's suggestion. They ate quietly, there was no conversation between them.
After they finished eating, they looked for Emmanuel's clothes. "Unclean on clothes?"
Emmanuel nodded. "Poor."
After finishing with the clothes business, they came out of the mall and toured the city of seoul for a while.
"Emmanuel, are you happy?" ask Liora.
"Happy, Auntie," replied Emmanuel, visible from her beaming face. Liora who saw that smiled. He hopes to get closer to the boy.
