44 - All about you

..."Trying to hate something you really like is a very painful thing."...

That morning Aleta returned to visit her father's house, but there was no sound from inside after Aleta tried to knock on the door and called several times.

Aleta was increasingly worried about her father's situation. Living alone in a home away from neighbors and crowded neighborhoods is not a pleasant thing, especially that he knows his father can not see.

Aleta peered through the cracks of the window, perhaps finding something stuck in her heart and mind. Unfortunately he found nothing, the atmosphere in the house remained silent.

"Is Dad out? but Dad said, I never went anywhere because of the condition of his eyes." Aleta continued to pacing while biting her fingernails as a result of holding back anxiety.

Aleta was there for a long time, almost 30 minutes waiting, but not even a hint of the gate was open. Aleta looked at the digital watch that was hanging circularly on her wrist.

"There are 5 minutes left of my time here, I need to get back before Damar's bodyguard finds my whereabouts!" Aleta monologue.

Aleta also stepped away from the Emir's home yard which then walked closer to the home car.

"Sorry, who is this lady? I often see Miss coming to this house, "reproved one of the middle-aged women who was walking past the empty house.

Aleta flinched trying to think of an answer that would make sense. "I'm from the census officer, ma'am," Aleta squeezed tightly into a sash bag rope hanging from one of her shoulders.

"Census? but I'm sorry, miss! the house is uninhabited. It's been years since it's been occupied after the owner moved out of town." Reveal the woman while looking.

Aleta was astonished to hear his words, because his father said that the house he had occupied for many years. A little doubt lingered in her mind, again Aleta tried to shake off the disbelief. He believed that his father had a reason for the house in his place at the time.

"Miss, Miss!" call the woman when she sees Aleta silently sculpting.

Aleta awakens from daydreams and returns to being as natural as possible so as not to be suspected. He also responded kindly to her words.

"Oh, I see Mom, I think the house has an owner." He said while smiling.

"none. Hmm, do you want to take me to the Village Chief's office here?" bargain with kind.

Aleta waved her hand followed by her head. "No need, Mom! thank you." thank you, thank you." Reject Aleta quickly.

The woman leaves after her conversation with Aleta stops and Aleta does the same. He got into the car and drove the vehicle.

...***...

At nightfall, two human beings were eating dinner in the dining room. The two bowed down not staring at each other, only the sound of clinking spoons and forks clashing on the plate, as if filling the silence in the room.

"Ekhem!" Damar cleared his throat trying to break the awkward atmosphere between the two.

But unfortunately Aleta did not respond to anything, he still stared at the food with an empty mind. Just a little food that he put in his mouth, the rest he just let sit on a plate.

Seeing Aleta's unusual attitude made Damar wonder. Damar is back in action which in it feels will succeed to make Aleta jerked.

Brakk!!

Aleta jerked to make him surprised instead of playing, Damar's action managed to make Aleta aware of the umpteenth time reverie.

"You're crazy, huh? why hit the table like that?" ask Aleta annoyed.

"You're crazy" Damar replied not to lose.

"I'm tired of seeing you stirring up that food! you really look stupid," Damar continued with mocking words.

Hearing that, Aleta got up from her seat to subconsciously nudge the glass glass that made the object fall on the floor.

Prankk!!

There was the sound of the glass being scattered. Damar stood facing Aleta, surprised.

"If you get tired of seeing me, then just let go of me. Let me go of your life" Aleta replied with emphasis.

Damar flinching, he stared fixedly at the netra of Aleta's eyes that gasped streaming her tears. Since Aleta's return from the Orphanage, Damar feels Aleta's attitude is different than usual.

Aleta often daydreams and does not focus when doing something until that second even Damar feels bored to see it. He tried to melt the atmosphere, but it turned out the wrong way. As a result of his words, Aleta was angry with him.

"Hey, wait!!" call Damar as Aleta moves out of the room.

"What is it with that woman? is he PMS? ahhhh!!"

Damar grumbled as he ruffled his hair looking frustrated because of Aleta.

...***...

As the morning sun greeted, Aleta stepped towards the balcony. He wanted to breathe fresh air that would have relaxed half the weight of his mind.

He opened a glass door that stood there. Closing her eyes, Aleta felt the warmth of the sun. His hair he let down to feel the sensation of morning air that is quite soothing to the heart and soul.

"I love you, Aleta!"

He heard a familiar voice in his ear. Feeling disturbed by the sound of the whisper, Aleta immediately opened her eyes. Refusing not to believe his hallucinations.

Aleta looked down at the balcony, looking at Damar who was currently looking at her from below. Aleta quickly cast a glance in all directions before she finally stepped in.

"Boss, the car's ready! we have to leave soon." Tegur Erick when he finds out that Damar has been watching Aleta ever since.

"Boss," he calls again.

Damar woke up and immediately passed into the car followed by Erick. The car moved away from the Damar residence.

From inside the car Erick noticed the look on Damar's face from the rearview mirror. Very clear if Damar is thinking about something that Erick thinks is related to Aleta.

"Are you okay, Boss?" asked Erick concerned.

Damar looked, "Hm." Answer's short.

"I shouldn't have to say those words in front of him. To be honest I didn't mean to make her angry but because of my words, she was getting mad at me." Inner Damar continued to struggle about the words he often said to Aleta.

Damar looked at the road from inside the car window, although his gaze was fixed on the atmosphere of the Capital City but his mind remained in place. Everything that feels right now is focused on one point, namely Aleta.

The woman who has now succeeded in destroying the fortress of pride and selfishness of Damar. The more days the nature that he used to sow into his identity after the death of his parents is increasingly fading.

It erodes her bad character for Aleta. Aleta was able to shift Yuri's position in her heart. Now there was no longer any shadow of Yuri in his mind. Yuri has been replaced by Aleta.
