Chapter 7. Love Mania?

The first love for a girl is her father. Because only his father was the first male figure he knew in his life, and will not be replaced by anyone. But can pure first love turn into manic love, wrapped in a deep sense of possessiveness and jealousy ?

It's dark. Even the night has ruled the day. In a dimly lit room, with faint moonlight redeeming the cracks of the window veil, Daniella squirms in her blanket. Sayup heard the sound of bated laughter, disturbing his short sleep. Yeah, well, Daniella just closed her eyes. The noise of an adult is enough to make his sense of sight do not want to be closed back. The voices of men and women who are quite familiar to Dani are able to repel drowsiness. The sound was getting closer and closer, for some reason then disappearing. Curiosity leads Dani to get out of bed. His bare feet stepped slowly towards the door.

He carefully turned the knob and peeked out from the opening of the door. Nothing looks there. Samar is heard from his father's bedroom, Sean Conley. Dani's little legs seemed to bring herself to find out. Step by foot Dani stepped. The voice was getting clearer and clearer coming out from between the hollow door of the room. Strange sounds of two adults crammed into each other. Dani already knows what his father did with the woman named Anna in there. But peeping at their activists every night seemed to have become an opium to him. The cold ceramics of the second floor corridor, unable to dampen the heat of Dani's heart every watched the scene after the adult scene that plastered real.

Dani's hurt. His heart ached piercing the heart into the bones and joints. Her love was betrayed. Not once, twice, but many times. Conley's frequent love for the bitch shortly after their sweaty activity, Dani never got from the man she adored so much.

Although it hurts, but the love in Dani's heart does not fade in the least. Not a step in his heart gave up on loving that wonderful man. His heart chose to be faithful. Hoping that one day, the man realized his existence. And when that happens, he is still there with a basket of love he is ready to give with all his heart.

That day was sunday. The wall clock has shown at 8 am. Daniella Conley is still in her room. That day, school was also on holiday. There is a small renovation from the church to some classrooms to make it more fresh and the children are more enthusiastic in learning.

Tok..

Dani's bedroom door was knocked three times. Followed by the opening of the door which then displays a familiar figure of meek.

"Miss, let's take a shower. I've prepared breakfast for you."

Daniella, who was lying on a fur carpet with a book in her hand, seemed reluctant to move on.

"Ahhh Aunt. I am not in school today. Can I just take a shower this morning?"

"No way, Miss. I won't let you touch my food if you won't clean up first. Let's wake. Don't lazy. " Emma went into the bathroom, preparing Dani's toiletries.

"But, Bi. " Rengek Dani

"No buts, come on. " Emma said with a serious mimic. The middle-aged woman was standing in front of the bathroom door while having her sidekick.

Daniella has no other choice. He had to obey all the wishes of his nanny. Aided by Emma, Daniella cleaned herself up that morning. It did not take long, 30 minutes later the little girl had been sitting sweetly in front of the dining table. She looks beautiful with a soft and comfortable crinkle dress, pure white with a simple floral motif. Accented ruffle on the arms and waist, so it looks more beautiful. At the bottom in the design of the umbrella model so that it looks fluffy. While his hair was allowed to unravel, combed to the right side. The right side of the hair is given a red flower pattern clasp.

Devouringly, Daniella spends her favorite breakfast prepared by her nanny and housekeeper, Emma. 3 pieces of waffle with chocolate sauce served warmly on a ceramic plate, a glass of milk is also warm.

" Miss, after this I plan to go shopping. Do you want to come with me?" Emma asked as she accompanied her employer's son to breakfast.

"Where to shop, Bi?"

"Walmart is at the end of the block. Miss."

Emma's answer brings Dani's memory of what happened a few days ago around the supermarket. At that time, when he was determined to go home from school alone after Conley the father did not go to pick up. A grown man smothers and pulls him behind a deserted supermarket building. Dani tried to rebel as hard as he could.

"Mpph... "

"Shut up!! If you still love your life, you better follow my orders !!"

The frightened Dani, unwillingly followed the orders of that person. In a corner of the deserted building, the man who looked shabby cornered Dani's tiny body against the wall. A moment later he opened the hook of his pants and lowered the thing slightly to the groin.

"Hold it!!!" The man smirked revealing his yellowed and uneven teeth.

With trembling hands Dani held the wet and hard thing. His eyes closed as soon as the stinky object touched the skin of his hand.

"Hey Josh .!! What are you doing there !!"

The loud voice of a man made the man reflexively turn his face to follow the direction of the sound.

"Ti don't.. I didn't do anything, sir." Soon he put his pants back on. With fear the tramp immediately left the silent Daniella in her place.

The man in the security uniform immediately approached Daniella who looked in shock.

"You all right, son?"

"No, sir. " Dani replied in a stammer.

"I'm Steve. I'm security Walmart's. I happen to be on a routine patrol. What's your name, son?"

That security was staring at Dani's overall appearance.

"You just got back from school?"

"Yes, sir."

"You alone? "

"Yes, sir."

"Where are your parents?"

"Work, sir."

"Oh, so. Where is your house? Let me take you home."

"No, Sir. I can go home by myself."

"It's okay, son. I need to make sure you get home safely. Anyway I need to meet your parents. Let me drive you home."

The security picked up his motorcycle parked in front of the supermarket. Daniella followed Steve from behind.

"Let's go up."

Doubtful Daniella got on the bike and put her body in the back seat.

"Take this." Steve handed Dani a black helmet. Shortly thereafter, a click sounded as Dani installed the hook. Daniella's little head was drowned in the oversized helmet she was wearing.

"Have you?"

"Already, sir."

After making sure Daniella was sitting comfortably, Steve turned on his bike. The iron horse was walking at a moderate speed.

Following Daniella's lead, a few minutes later they arrived safely home. Because Conley was not at his security residence, he just left a message to Emma not to let the girl go home to school by herself. Steve recounts that Daniella was almost harassed by a vagrant.

The shocking event that Dani had just experienced, how detailed it was, she kept to herself. He didn't tell anyone and didn't know how to tell how he felt. Even when Emma asks him what the man has done, Dani just keeps silent.

"Miss. Do you want to come with me?"

Emma's call breaks Dani's daydream.

"Ti is not Bi. A I'm just home."

"You okay, Miss? Are you sick?" Emma saw Dani's face change. The woman touched Dani's forehead with the back of her hand.

"I'm fine, Bi."

"You really don't want to come? You'll be alone, Miss. Mr. Conley's not home right now."

"It's okay, Bi. I'm just at home. Maybe my dad's gonna be home soon."

"Yes already then. Miss don't go anywhere. Lock the door tightly. If an unknown stranger knocks on the door, don't open it. I promise just a minute. Do you understand, Miss? " Message Emma with a worried tone.

"Yes, Bi. I get it."

With misgivings, Emma leaves Daniella alone at home. In his heart, he promised not to be long.
