The Marriage Of The Game
36 - One Step above

..."A child's anger at a parent will definitely be a regret. Let's not let you regret, because regret is the deepest hell in life."...

..._________...

The memories came along with daydreams and flew deep into the sad past. The pain was more pronounced when Aleta saw the Father standing before her.

Soul complaints continue to burn as a result of being tormented by the wounds of past feelings. Although destiny is the most painful thing but cannot be blamed, because all parts of the natural provisions that must be lived are not with complaints.

"Who is it?" the Emir asked, looking at Aleta.

Aleta was still silenced, it was hard to answer the question of the father who no longer knew him, even though Aleta recognized his face clearly. The face that used to look haughty and rough, is now no longer visible. His firm jawbone and sharp eyes had loosened along with his age.

"I'm sorry, I have to ask your name first, because I can't see." Reveal it while smiling.

Test!!!

In that instant also her tears dripped hearing the father who could not see her. His heart was broken knowing the condition of the father who was no longer as strong and as fast as before. His first love now seemed weak.

Although Aleta hated her father, but he was still a father who became her first love when she was born in the world. It's just that circumstances change the bond between a child and a father that changes everything.

Aleta tried to hold back the sobbing sound that was getting worse. He closed his mouth tightly so as not to be heard in the slightest by the Emir.

"Come on, come on in!" bring the Emir friendly.

Again Aleta did not reply to his words, which he did, instead rushed away from the place and went back into the car.

He cried his hardest in the car letting out all the tightness in his chest. No longer able to see the condition of the father and look at him for a long time.

...***...

Damar arrives at his residence after driving Yuri home to his apartment. He stopped at Aleta's door and knocked on her door, but there was no response from inside the room.

"Is he asleep?" muttered Damar staring at the watch that was coiling in his hand.

It felt strange that Aleta had slept at 7pm that night. Not wanting to take a headache, Damar stepped back into his room.

Aleta was sitting beside the bed staring blankly in front of her. Accustomed to silence a thousand languages when he felt guilty, wanted to start meeting but not how much guts and tried to shout to the universe to relieve tightness in the chest was only a moment of relief, but still can't muster the power to say.

"Now what should I do? what am I supposed to do? do I have to let Damar hate my father continuously or do I have to stop everything?" monologue Aleta in silence.

Even Aleta was not aware that his long conversation with God could be interpreted as a prayer or not. I hope there is someone who can help him solve his solution at that time.

Aleta turned to the top of Nakas— took a picture frame of the Mother and rubbed it gently while looking at her. It felt like he wanted to complain to the Mother, so that his heart and mind felt better.

In every night, Aleta always prayed to be reunited with the Mother, even if it was only through dreams or meeting her directly. Aleta was sure that one day she would meet him, regardless of the situation.

...***...

Aleta walked down the stairs slowly while watching Damar with a woman sitting at the dinner table. They both seem to be busy talking about something.

Arriving at the doorway of the dining room, the two turned to Aleta and immediately stopped the conversation.

"Hi Aleta, good morning!" sapa Yuri stumbled into a smile.

Aleta was silent and did not reply, because she was busy looking at the stranger-looking woman in her eyes.

"Just sit down, don't just stay there!" tegur Damar interrupted.

"Ah, Aleta surely you don't know me yet!" on the sidelines of the silence of the atmosphere. "I'm Yuri, Damar's best friend." His connections put emphasis on some of his words.

Aleta replied with a lazy smile, she did not really care about Yuri's words that seemed to upset her.

Yuri's attitude is considered quite bold, when in front of his wife who pays attention to the interaction of the two. Yuri took a sunny side up which was then placed on top of the Damar plate while smiling sweetly.

"Goodbye Damar" said Yuri, touching Damar's hand gently

Damar smiled and nodded small. "Hm." Legally.

While Aleta felt uncomfortable being there, every time she saw those who deliberately showed affection in front of her. Not to mention Yuri who was spoiled for Damar and with ease Damar actually responded to his attitude.

"Snubrate! did not the woman feel ashamed to be spoiled with the man's husband and again the stone-head responded. I'm like a fool to be here!" monologue Aleta stared cynically at the two.

"Ekhem!!" Aleta cleared her throat to stop the interaction of the two.

"What's up Aleta? do you need anything?" yuri asked in a soft tone as possible.

"Today I will visit the parlor," he said to Damar and reluctantly answered Yuri's question.

"Please." Reply Damar briefly.

Aleta was slightly jolted at Damar's words which seemed so easy to allow herself to leave.

"I want to go alone, no need to accompany your Fruit," said Aleta fishing Damar.

"Alright, but you're still being driven by the driver." Relaxedly.

Although it sounds strange, but Aleta is happy to be able to freely go without being accompanied by Damar Guards, so she does not need to feel anxious if later found lying.

"Come on Yuri, we're leaving now!" o'erah Damar clasped Yuri's hand in front of Aleta.

Yuri smelled a smile. "Yes, Damar!" reply pleased.

Aleta clearly saw the hand of Damar who treated Yuri warmly and gently. He also finds Damar embracing Yuri's waist as it passes through him.

"Shoppers!"

The bait that was thrown just from Aleta's mouth, a sense of heat suddenly billowed inside him. It was like he was kicking Damar's butt as hard as he could, for the man to fly up and fall crashing down on the floor.

I don't know what makes him so emotional seeing Damar's attitude so sweet on Yuri, while inversely proportional to him. The sweet attitude that Damar gave Aleta was just a fabrication.

Damar smirked with satisfaction after seeing Aleta's response that seemed to dislike her attitude towards Yuri. This time he won one step from him, after yesterday - yesterday defeated by Aleta.

"You won't be able to beat me at any moment, you fool!" muttered Damar with his sharp smirk.
