ALDEBY
|64.| New Trauma

"Isn't your phone missing on campus?"

Aldef silent. He had no idea that Celine would call Beby to give him that information.

Seeing the boyfriend silent, Beby's eyes warmed up. Pupus is the hope that he built with a foundation in the form of confidence. Beby would have received any alibi Aldef. Even if the man was lying, it was fine, Beby still accepted. He will deactivate his sensitivity so as not to find the lie behind Aldef's alibi.

But, how could Beby do that when Aldef was not evasive at all?

"Al, please!" A drop of clear liquid slid down from Beby's left eye. "Tell me if Celine's wrong. She lies. Yeah, right?"

Aldef shook his head slowly. "Celine isn't lying. I took him to the hospital before nyamperin lo. And I realized that my phone was not there after from there. But I don't want to go back for nyari. I don't want to wait any longer. Sorry—"

"My guess," cut Beby with a flat expression. The girl rubbed the rough trace of tears on her cheeks. "I thought you could be trusted."

Beby picked up the spoon on the plate containing his siomay. Then, the girl ate it voraciously. Aldef who saw that could only be silent. How could? How could Beby so easily believe in Aldef's reasoning? Why did Beby's question just stop there? Didn't the girl think of the slightest of things that Aldef and Celine were doing together behind her?

Seeing Aldef just silent with a gaze attached to him, Beby looked up. "Al, eat. The pleasure is less if it's cold." Beby continued his eating activities. "Crazy, this is delicious! Take me here often, yeah."

"Sky, aren't you angry?"

"Why angry?"

"On Celine."

"Why should you be angry? Is it wrong to look at sick people? After all, you're the same Celine, right, you've known for a long time. Reasonable, dong."

"But—"

"Eating college. I don't want to be horrified by Miko's nagging because I came home last night."

Aldef sighed for a moment. Given what Aldef had done with Celine behind Beby, the man felt like a leaf that was easily carried away by the wind.

***

The next day, Beby who was ready with sports clothes came out of the room. The girl saw Miko was busy in the kitchen.

"Where are you going all night, brother?" beby asked after sitting on one of the dining table chairs.

Hearing Beby's voice, Miko turned her head for a moment. The man brought bread and jam for breakfast to the dinner table. "There's business."

It is highly unlikely for Miko to tell her sister that Zidan is again released.

"Gue is behind your car" Miko told Rama by phone.

"The car Zidan was riding in front of me. You follow me from behind."

"okay."

Without disconnecting the phone, Miko stepped on the gas pedal deeper. He continued to follow Rama's car with a sharp gaze and both hands were tightly grasped the steering wheel of the car. Miko kept driving her car. Until arriving at an intersection before reaching the airport, Rama's car stopped.

Miko pulled out the wireless earphones that had been clogging her hearing senses. He then got out of the car, stepped quickly past Rama's car. However, something Miko was looking for did not exist. The man then turned around, stepping quickly towards Rama who was standing in front of his car.

"Where? Where's Zidan?" ask Miko.

"Sorry, Bro. I cheated on you."

"You mean?"

"All I saw was getting into that car instead of Zidan. I think they know that someone's been stalking Zidan all this time."

"Bangs*t! Why not make it up?!"

"Sorry."

And it is highly unlikely for Miko to say that Zidan managed to escape from her grasp.

Miko got out of her chair, took a knife to rub strawberry jam on the bread. Beby who saw it then stood up from his chair, then brushed off Miko's hand.

Beby's sudden movement made the knife in Miko's hand then thrown to the floor. Of course, it made Miko surprised.

"By!" miko shouted as she stared intently at Beby. "Lo what the fuck, anyway?!"

Beby pensive. His gaze was attached to the blade lying on the floor. Recording of the memory of the events of that night lay back. Beby felt his breath tight as his neck squeezed. He also felt pain as the sharp object slashed his skin.

"By?" The way Beby stared at the knife, reminded Miko of the condition Beby three knew then.

"Beby?" Miko kept trying to call out Beby's name, but the girl was still with the same position and gaze. A look full of anger and fear.

"Bi ...." Miko's hand touched Beby's right shoulder, and the girl was still silent.

"Beby, look at me!" This time, Miko shook Beby's shoulder.

Shocks on the right shoulder made Beby's eardrum free from Zidan's voice that night. His eyes looked at Miko. Right then, Beby's eyes dripped with a clear liquid.

"The knives ...."

"Why?"

"Don't."

"Don't use a knife?"

Beby nodded quickly.

Miko breathed a heavy breath. Now, he knew why Beby had reacted that way. The girl was traumatized.

"Sit down first" Miko said as she led Beby to sit on the chair. After that, Miko took a glass of mineral water, asking Beby to drink it.

A glass of mineral water entered through Beby's esophagus perfectly. After that, Beby stood up. "Gue wants to gym."

"Lo's okay?"

Beby nodded with a brief smile, trying to convince Miko. "Gwenchan."

The sports-clothed girl sauntered from in front of Miko. As Beby exits the apartment door, his bead meets Aldef's door. He had thought of knocking on the door, but his intention was unsettled. Beby needed an impingement to clean up the dark memory remnants due to seeing the knife earlier.

***

Beby spent 90 minutes in the gym. The girl was driving her energy nonstop. Now, his breathing was very relieved. It was even unthinkable when Beby's heartbeat speed was almost far above average.

A bottle of cold mineral water glided perfectly down Beby's esophagus. As the time had already shown almost nine o'clock, Beby rushed back to the apartment unit. He must be ready to the set at ten o'clock.

Just out of the gym, Beby's vision senses catch Aldef in a black hoodie entering the lobby area. The girl rushed to her boyfriend.

"Al!"

Aldef, who heard Beby's voice from the right, turned his head. Instead of a smile, the shocked expression that Aldef showed. "Sky?"

"Where did it come from?" Beby escorted Aldef to the elevator.

Elevator door opens. The two entered before Aldef replied, "Hospital."

Beby looked quickly. His hand moved touching Aldef's forehead. "Lo's sick?"

Aldef grabbed Beby's right hand which touched his forehead. Aldef's head shook his head slowly while smiling knots. His one free hand grabbed the phone from his hoodie pocket. "Gue's done taking this."

"Oh." Beby's expression instantly changed. The ninety minutes he used to raise his mood were forcibly snatched away by Aldef's statement.

"Sky."

"Hm?" Beby forcefully pulled both corners of his lips.

"Tadi .. I'm all going to Celine's home."

The fact that today Aldef first met Celine alone has made Beby badmood, especially coupled with the sentence just now.

"Yes," Beby replied without looking over.

Elevator door opens. Beby stepped out first. Here, Aldef was not a foolish man who did not feel the stifling euphoria of his statement just now.

"Sky."

"Hm?"

"Lo's not angry, is he?"

Beby had just turned to Aldef when they were in front of the door of their respective apartments. Again, Beby commented on the forced smile on his lips.

"No, it's." Just bete. "If so, I go first, yes. There's a morning shoot for it."

The girl breezed away without waiting for Aldef's response. Meanwhile, the abandoned Aldef stared pusily at the door where Beby disappeared.

"Would you be upset if you knew the full story, Sky?"
