Both corners of Aldi's lips expand when he sees Ayana wearing her late mother's dress.
Ayana felt awkward because of the look of Aldi's eyes that could not be separated from her. "Aldi, I'm sorry Ayana's wearing Aldi's mom's dress." Ayana really felt bad.
Aldi chuckled, "Look aja Ay, lo kayak new memenan just like me," he said.
"Let's eat." Aldi pulled out a chair for Ayana and allowed the girl to sit down.
Ayana said she was sitting on one of the chairs there. Both of Ayana's eyes were rounded as she looked at some of the food being served on the table.
"Aldi, Ayana did not think that Aldi was the son of the sultan," said Ayana.
"Lo didn't expect it, did he? Equally I did not think that I was born in the sultan's family," said Aldi chuckled.
Ayana continues to babble while eating the food that has been served. Ayana turned her head, looking at a family photo on the wall.
"Aldi's an only child?" ask Ayana.
Aldi grinned while scratching his non-itchy head. "An only child is rich" he answered.
Ayana laughed, not only Ayana, but the housekeepers at Aldi's house laughed when they heard it, they only saw Aldi very open with a woman, this time, although in school Aldi looks the type of person who is friendly, but if at home, Aldi becomes an introverted child figure. Different places are also different personalities in Aldi.
Aldi stopped eating, his face changed instantly when he heard the approaching sound of shoes.
"Aldi why?" ask Ayana.
"Have you eaten yet?" ask Aldi.
"Hi handsome son of papa" said a man who was about forty-five years old with a woman who was also his age.
Aldi spread his lazy gaze. Aldi's face suddenly turned cold. "Let's go Ay," asked Aldi to leave the dining room.
Ayana was confused, why did they have to leave after the arrival of Aldi's parents?
Aldi pulls Ayana's hand, invites the girl to leave her parents.
"Aldi," call Mr. Derawan, Papa Aldi.
"Allen!" call Mr. Derawan again.
Aldi continued to pull Ayana's hand, not caring about the Papa who kept calling her.
A woman who was next to Mr. Derawan held his hand, preventing Mr. Derawan from following Aldi.
"Mas already Mas, if Mas hard to Aldi, later Aldi even more disliked," said Aunt Dinda softly.
Mr. Derawan breathed heavily. Even though it was almost five years ago, Aldi is still angry and cannot accept the presence of Aunt Dinda as a mother.
Aldi opens the car door for Ayana and tells the girl to come in. Again Ayana just kept quiet and obeyed Aldi, did not understand what really happened.
Aldi got into the car, pulled back his car and drove away from home.
Ayana still did not understand what was happening at this moment. If it was Aldi's parents, then why is the figure of the woman who was with Papa Aldi different from the woman who was in the family photo on display in the dining room?
Ayana wants to ask Aldi, but Ayana feels this is not the right time, seeing Aldi's face that is holding back emotions.
Aldi turned his head, looking at Ayana who was uncomfortable with the current atmosphere. Aldi pulled the car over, and stopped.
Ayana looked towards Aldi as the man stopped his car.
"Lo must be confused isn't this all the same?" aldi opened the conversation.
"Well, can you ask me something?" Ayana ventured to ask him something that had disturbed her mind.
"Boleh Ay, ask aja," said Aldi with a look that returned cheerful, it seems Aldi's mood has begun to improve.
"That was Aldi's dad?" ayana asked a little afraid, honestly just asking this question made Ayana's heart beat irregularly, it felt like she was interviewing with an HRD at a well-known company.
"Lo's gonna ask you about the same woman my Papa, right?" said Aldi who had thought that Ayana wanted to know about it.
Aldi took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. "The woman was my mother, her name was Aunt Dinda, after six months of my mother's death, Papa easily married again with Aunt Dinda without my consent, that's why I hate them so much. Though not long ago my Mama died, but Papa quickly found a replacement for my Mama." Aldi shared his own story without anyone else knowing, except for his domestic assistants.
"Sorry Aldi, Ayana does not want to know the problems of the Aldi family, sorry because Ayana was sassy about it." Ayana increasingly feels bad, she is afraid that Aldi will think a no-no.
Aldi chuckles as he ruffles Ayana's hair. "Just relax, don't be so stiff" he said.
"Aldi, this is Aldi's car, right? Not a rental?" goda Ayana while melting the atmosphere that had stiffened earlier.
"It's a gift car from chiki, Ay," Aldi replied laughing.
Now Ayana understands why Aldi is always cheerful and tries to be silly to entertain others. Ayana remembered the Argatha speech that the man had once made for her. "Lo is always cheerful in front of the crowd, Ay. You have deep sadness." It turned out that Argatha was right, the one who always tried to look okay in front of others was the one who was trying hard to hide his sadness.
"Farah, Gaeun and Azka knew that Aldi was the son of a rich man?" ask Ayana.
Aldi shook his head. "All you know is you" he replied.
"Gue does not want my friends to know that I am a rich man's son, I do not want the incident when I Junior High repeated again," added Aldi.
"When Junior High when my friends knew that I was a rich kid, they used to benefit me, I felt they were just as insincere as I was, they had a certain purpose, they had a certain meaning, moreover, my Papa is one of the influential people in school." Aldi felt Ayana could be a good listener, so Aldi believed and began to open himself to tell all that he had been alone.
*****
Aldi drove Ayana home, considering that the sky was also getting dark. Aldi had to return the girl to his home.
Aldi opens the car door for Ayana. Aldi really treated Ayana like a princess.
"Aldi, thank you, sorry today Ayana a lot ngerepotin Aldi," said Ayana. Today Aldi has accompanied him to relieve his sadness because of the departure of Argatha.
"Lo used to take care of me, right" said Aldi smiling.
Ayana hisses, then hits Aldi slowly. "Friday, Aldi."
Aldi chuckled, "Judah I'm back, Ay. Don't be sad anymore" he said.
Ayana smiled while respectfully saluting like a soldier towards Aldi. "Ready commander!"
Only Aldi wanted to step his foot to get into the car, Ayana called him back.
"Aldi."
"Why Ay?" ask Aldi and look.
"Tomorrow is not Aldi busy?" ask Ayana.
"busy. Tomorrow I have to get up for lunch, lunch, continue playing the play station until I fall asleep again, continue to wake up again for dinner and go back to sleep again" replied Aldi nyeleneh.
"Ih! Aldi answered seriously dong," annoyed Ayana.
"Gue's not busy Ay. Why?" aldi asked in a very soft tone.
"Tomorrow we play yuk" asked Ayana.
Aldi watched the smiling Ayana. "Yes, tomorrow at nine I'll pick you up" Aldi replied.
"Yes!" said Ayana happy, he jumped like a child.
"Jaudah Ayana come in first. Aldi went home carefully yes, drive the car do not speed ya."
Aldi nodded as he confirmed the girl's words.
Ayana immediately walked into her house, leaving Aldi who was still in front of the gate of Ayana's house.
Aldi could only smile while looking at Ayana who had entered his house.
"Gue hope you'll always smile, Ay."
