Meanwhile, at Leonardo's residence.
Leo gathers the children'nya the family room, Lucky and also Axel, all who are there look panicked because Axela until now still not home, while the night is getting late.
That worry and worry is what all of them feel, especially Adelia, the mother. He even cried as much as he could considering that his beloved daughter never came home until late at night let alone to stay outside.
''Quickly tell me what happened, why did your sister go missing Axel? aren't you usually always together?'' ask Leo.
''So we went home together, Pih. car he was right behind my car, but he suddenly disappeared, I call also not picked up, ''' replied El, El, lirih felt sad.
''Can we do that?''
''I also don't know, sorry for not being able to take good care of my brother, as the biggest child I really feel guilty and pointless.''
''Don't blame yourself like that, brother. We're positive, who knows he's at his friend's house, keeps his phone low bet, or maybe now he's on his way home, we'll just wait a minute, Lucky, you know, the smartest kid tries to calm his family.
''All right, we'll wait till he gets home, El, try calling him again.''
''OK, Pih...!''
Just now El was about to call, suddenly his phone rang, he looked at his cellphone screen and smiled happily because the person he was talking about finally called as well.
''Hello... Al...! where are you?'' El picked up the phone.
''Sorry, because I just got to tell you, my phone was low bet, El, can I talk to mommy and papi?''
''In a moment, I gave her phone to mommy, she happened to be here, we're all worried, Al...''
Axel immediately gave his phone to his mother.
''Hello baby, where are you? mommy is worried, why is it so late at night that you haven't come home yet?'' asked the mother, sounding sad.
''Sorry, mom. It makes you all anxious, tonight it looks like I will be staying at a friend's house, out of town.''
''Ahhhh...! out of town? whereabouts? why so suddenly?''
''So my friend asked for help to be delivered to his grandmother's house, because I felt sorry I was forced to deliver him, actually I did not intend to stay and will go home soon after, after, but suddenly it was raining so much, it was already night time anyway, so rather than something happening on the road, I would rather stay over, right?'' Al was lying.
''You're okay, aren't you, son? you're not lying to mommy, are you?''
''No mom...''
''Here give me his cell phone, ''' Leo took the phone his wife was holding.
''Hello, sweetheart. You where? papi pick you up now, huh?''
''No need, Pih. It's night, the papi kasian must have cape out of work all day in the office.''
''But you're really okay, right?''
''Yeah, I'm fine, really. Don't worry, I promise I'll be home soon.''
''Is it okay then? take good care of yourself, yes. Don't do anything, okay.''
''Yes, papi. I promise I won't fuck around.''
Both of them hung up the phone.
***
''How? does your family allow you to stay outside?'' gabriel asked, just after Axela hung up.
''Yes, I feel guilty for lying to them, Al looked down and felt sad.
''Would you like to go home? I'm taking ya.''
''No need, I don't want to make mommy equally sad to see me in a state of hurt like this.''
Gabriel was silent, staring at Axela's grim face, there was guilt tucked inside the recesses of her heart, if only they hadn't met today, it was possible that this beautiful teenage girl wouldn't have been hurt.
''Well then, you rest in the room, let me sleep here, yeah...!''
Al shook his head.
''Lho, why? do you want to stay asleep here, while I am in the room?''
''Do you want us to sleep in the room?''
Al shook his head for the third time.
''Then...?''
''I'm hungry.'' said Al holding his stomach.
Gabriel let out a crisp laugh, with the currency slightly slanted and the lips so wide.
''Ha... huh...! Why didn't you say that from earlier?''
''You're not nanya...''
''Yes, already, what do you want to eat? fried rice? rice Padang? Fried chicken or whatever you want I'll buy...''
''Hmm... I want pizza...''
''Pizza...? these nights where there are pizzas, all restaurants must have closed.''
''What do dong say? I've never eaten the food you mentioned.''
''Seriously...?''
Al nodded his head.
''Rice Padang has never eaten?''
''Not yet...''
''Well...what is the food of the rich usually?''
Al fell silent with a slight cry.
''Try eating rice Padang deh, it happens that around here there is Padang Restaurant which is open 24 hours, I buy it for a while huh.''
Al nodded slowly, though unsure that he would like the food.
Gabriel got up and stood up and walked.
''Wait...! do you have any money?"
"Of course."
"I don't want to trouble you, you can use my money, I have a lot of money..."
"What kind of student do you have?"
"A lot of anyway, every month papi I always give a monthly ration for me."
Al grabbed his school bag, then took out his wallet and peeked at the contents, he took out some 50 thousand sheets and gave them to Gabriel.
''No need, you just save this money for your snacks at school, yes. Just so you know, I also have a lot of money, do not mind me living a narrow rented like this, does not mean I am poor and do not have money.''
Briel refuses Al's gift.
''All right, then. I promise I will treat you later.''
Al smiled and put his money back in his wallet.
''You wait here for a while, I won't be long. Okay...''
Al nodded and smiled.
Gabriel walks out of the contract, leaving Axela alone in it.
To be honest, this is only the first time for the beautiful girl daughter of Leonardo, staying outside the house with a man, a man, not knowing what really happened to her that she bravely did something like this, she also dared to lie to her family, something she had never done before.
Is it possible that he is in love? I don't know, only God knows, which is clear as his next two nights will be a long night for Axela and also Gabriel.
