ALDEBY
|84.| Behind Zidan

'TA'K!

The sound went all over the editing room because Aldef put the camera on the table with great emphasis.

"Woles, Bro!" fahri said as he took over the camera on the table. "My second favorite son! If he's hurt, you want responsibility?"

Aldef did not answer. The man slammed his body into the chair. Fahri's words were like the wind passing through Aldef's ears.

"Why, anyway, Al? Very fierce face lo," said Fahri while taking a sitting position to the right Aldef.

Instead of answering Fahri's question, Aldef asked. "Lo likes Celine?"

Quietly, Fahri reviewed a meaningful smile. The man stared straight ahead, his lips hissing softly, thinking of the answer to Aldef's question. "Honestly, yes, yes. Celine emang beautiful. Yeah, um, anyway, still looking forward to Beby."

In that instant, Aldef turned his head quickly. Fahri who realized that decided to pretend not to know.

"Moreover, as long as Celine works here. He helped me a lot. His son was also invited to talk. Then, we both like to drink coffee." Fahri turned his head, finding the netra Aldef who was looking at him fixedly. "Celine turned out to be good at editing photos, you know! I just found out yesterday, anyway. Why do you mean it?"

"It's just that." Aldef melengos's.

"Said Daren, lo break same Beby? Why?"

"Beby asked for it."

"Certainly? Do you want to give it up? Don't you want to fight him?"

The man beside Fahri turned back. "If I had a way, I'd have done it from the beginning!"

"Ohhh!!!" Fahri exclaimed, as if he had just realized something. "Gue knows why your face is so fierce. You're jealous, aren't you, Daren?"

"No idea!" aldef.

Fahri. "My God, why, Al? Here, yeah. Now I ask you. You were angry when I saw Celine's last teket?"

Aldef shakes.

"Lo was angry when Daren deket same Beby?"

"Clearly!"

"Well! That means the answer is sure. Lo love Beby, not Celine. Celine, it's nothing more than the past."

"Keep, how am I supposed to?"

"Pointer, please! Show Beby that he's a priority for you. Show Beby that now you're sure about how you feel."

"But, Beby's still mad at me."

"Yes, that's your business! Lo knows what Beby likes best. Just wear the things he likes to make you act."

Aldef was silent. That's right Fahri said. From the very beginning of meeting Beby, the love in Aldef's heart had completely belonged to the girl. Aldef recalled the sentence he had uttered to Beby as they sat alone by the pool.

"Secending love is common. Especially breaking up because your guy cheated. You should be happy, you can get away from a bad man."

Aldef's laughter wailed. He could have said that, but he almost did the same. Aldef thought back to when they met on the bridge. Aldef felt ridiculous, because at that time he thought Beby would kill himself. And the most imprinted thing in Aldef's memory was when Beby helped him from the begal. Now Aldef is conscious. Beby and Celine are different. Hugely. A trace of the past memory that made Aldef see the two girls look alike.

In the middle of Aldef's daydream, the sound of a cell phone ringing out to every corner of the editing room. Apparently, the voice came from Fahri's phone. The owner then presses the answer button when he sees the name displayed on his phone screen.

"Why?"

" .... "

Fahri turned towards Aldef with a surprised look. "Seriously lo?"

" .... "

"OKAY. I'm going there now."

After the phone connection was cut off, Fahri rushed to reach for his car keys and wallet. "Lo come with me now."

"Gue?" Aldef pointed to himself.

"Who are there other people besides us here? Swab! Emergency!"

"What's up?"

"Come on. I'll be clear in the car."

***

"Beby won't be the same."

The sentence continued to buzz in Daren's ears. He wanted to prick his own ear. Moreover, that confident expression was so obvious when Aldef said that sentence. Daren really hates it!

"What do you want, Ren?" beby asked, making Daren then normalize his facial expression.

The two human children were at the Lomera Cafe to fill their stomachs.

"The most recommended."

"OKAY. If so ...."

Beby mentioned the menu to the waitress who had been waiting. After that, Beby decided to play the phone. Lola's not at the cafe. I don't know where, Beby doesn't know.

"By?"

The call made Beby look up. "Yes?"

"Gue can do something?"

Seeing the serious expression on Daren's face, Beby deactivated his phone. "Can."

"There's a friend of mine who likes girls. But the girl he likes has a girlfriend. What do you think my temen should be?"

"Nrank ...." Beby thought for a moment. "I don't think you're wrong, anyway. Because no one can control a person's feelings, right? Including himself. But, don't let you use that excuse to make a girl he likes have to like her back."

"If I'm being honest about how he feels about the girl? Can you?"

Daren. "If that guy was me and that girl you meant, you'd do that too?"

"Huh? You mean, you like me, do you?" Beby laughing. "Funny, anyway, lo joke."

"Gue seriously."

Seeing the expression and the way Daren looked at him, the remnants of the laughter on Beby's lips vanished instantly.

"Excuse me."

Fortunately, a waiter came with their menu. Beby can delay the topic of the creator's awkward chat for the next few minutes, or so on.

***

The atmosphere in the car was very awkward for Beby. Because, since leaving Lomera Cafe, Daren like a suddenly mute person. Moreover, the tense aura that the man exuded. Makes Beby want to get out of the car right now.

Beby grabbed the mineral water in the bottle he had bought at the Lomera Cafe. The girl gulped it a few times. After it was over, Beby intended to take a tissue from inside his bag to remove the remaining water in his mouth. However, Beby did not realize that the supply of tissue in his bag was exhausted.

"What diary?" ask Daren.

"Tissue," Beby replied without turning to the man behind the wheel.

"There's in there. Take it." Take it."

Beby according. Again, without looking at Daren. The girl deliberately avoided Daren's gaze. Beby's movements came to a halt when he saw something familiar inside.

Beby's hand moved to grab the thing that caught his attention. Beby's eye bead observed more closely. Is correct. Beby couldn't have mistaken the thing in his hand.

Beby turned towards Daren. The man displayed a flat expression. His focus was forward.

"Daren, this ...."

Beby's voice made Daren turn. His gaze then led to an object in Beby's grasp.

Damnit damnit! Daren forgot to secure the thing.

"What does this mean, Ren?"

***

Aldef could only resign when Fahri took him out of nowhere. Time and again Aldef asked their purpose, and repeatedly Fahri did not give him a definite answer.

"Anjir lo, Ri! Can die this young me!!!" That was also the umpteenth cry that Aldef threw, due to the way Fahri drove like an orang-san.

Aldef clucked in annoyance. The man could only tighten his grip while chanting a prayer. Aldef doesn't want to die now. He had to repair his relationship with Beby.

After overtaking dozens of motor vehicles, they arrived on a fairly quiet street. Without warning, Fahri rushed down. Leaving Aldef who was still busy breathing.

"Crazy, kid! Intention to kill me!"

Up ahead, Fahri was seen waving his hands in a swift motion. Ask Aldef to come down immediately. After a heavy sigh, Aldef got out of the car. Simultaneously, Aldef's sense of vision found three figures familiar to him.

"The line? Fara's? Zidan?" Aldef mentioned the names of the three men. Aldef's gaze was on Fahri. "Ri, what does this mean, anyway?"

"Beby is in danger" said Zidan, making Aldef turn to him.

"It's not you who's always putting Beby in danger?"

"Let me clear," said Celine. The girl stared fixedly at Aldef. "It wasn't Zidan who put Beby in danger, it was you, Al."

"Why am I?"

"You remember the last words you said to Daren?"

Beby won't be the same.

"Why?"

"Because of that sentence, Beby's in danger" Fahri said.

Aldef clucked in annoyance. "Gue don't understand! What does this mean, anyway?!"

"Daren is my cousin and Fara. He's the mastermind behind all Zidan's actions to Beby."

"Lo have proof of what?"

Fara held out a cell phone towards Aldef. Shortly afterwards, a voice came from the phone.

"If I can't have Beby, he'll have to die. And that, your job."

Both Aldef's eyeballs are perfectly rounded. It was clearly Daren's voice.

"There's more" said Fara. This time, the girl showed me a video.

A CCTV footage showing Daren and Zidan in the hallway. They seem to be talking about something.

"It was the morning after prom-night" Zidan said. "That morning, he asked me to come to the hotel. You must know what to do."

Yep. Aldef knows. It was the day that Beby had a hellish trauma in his life. Although there was no sign of Beby's virginity missing, it was still a tragedy for her.

"What is Daren doing about all that?" ask Aldef.

"Revenge" said Fara. "Since High School, Beby always refused Daren. But, Beby must have forgotten. Because, Daren changed his name when he moved here. Daren's real name was ...."
