Around 3 AM.
Someone suddenly knocking on his door. Because it's difficult for Aaron to move around, He just speaks from the bed.
"Come in."
Mr. Brandon walks inside the room and his eyes fixed on the small figure on the bed.
"Ah..I'm so sorry. He must be tired from the long hour flight for him to sleep in here." He hurriedly carries Asher on his arm, while Aaron just smiles at the old man. He never saw him before.
"No. He might be afraid of thunder." Aaron said politely.
"I see. Ah.. how are you by the way? Did your wound still hurt?" Mr. Brandon looks at him with a worried expression.
Shake his head, Aaron reply to him. "No. My wound is getting better. But, Mr…?"
"Brandon. I am Hazel's personal butler," he said, introducing himself to the man.
Upon hearing the word 'butler', his head feels a bit dizzy. He tries to not show his painful face in front of him as he just nods his head.
"Em... Thank you for your concern, Mr. Brandon." Aaron smile and lay back to his bed.
Nod his head, Mr. Brandon walks out from the room with Asher on his arm.
...
Two months have passed,
He never met Hazel again after the last time he was in the gym.
He also didn't find any figure of Chase and Nigel.
There is only Loula, Joe, and Akiko who attending him for the past months.
All the therapy schedules, he follows and eats accordingly too. He already can walk and lift his hand as normal back. It just his figure still skinny and his hair still growing long until reach his shoulder.
"Akiko, it's been two months and I didn't see another 3 doctors here. Are they okay?" he tried to fish out Akiko.
"Huh? Oh..they had a case in a neighboring country. So they will travel there. Sometimes it takes months and sometimes just a few weeks. Depending on the patient's condition." she replied casually while opening his bandage.
"Hm..looks like your wound on your head are fully recovered today. Don't worry about the scar. Our new drugs now have something that can make the scar disappear within a month. So, hooray! You can go and cut your hair now and wash up your hair too. But, don't scrub it too rough, remember?" she reminds him making him nod.
"Need my assistance to cut your hair?" Akiko asked.
He shakes his head. "No. But I need a hair clipper. Can you borrow it from Joe? If he has."
"Sure. I'll ask him," she said and walk out from his room.
After a few minutes, she brings a t-shirt and trousers for him. On top of it, there is a hair clipper and razor blade.
"Here. Joe give this to you. Well, we're not sure about your size. But I hope you can fit in his shirt." she put the clothes on the bed and walk out again.
Aaron then takes the clothes and all the belonging into the bathroom.
He stands on the ceramic floor and looks at his face in the mirror.
"Who are you? Where are you from? What kind of life did you have before?" he asked in a slow tone.
He sighs after a few seconds and takes the hair clipper.
...
After 30 minutes in the bathrooms, he walks out and strolled to the living hall.
He already remembers every corner of this house except for the left building. Which is led to the Hazel room.
He slouched at the sofa and turn on the flat screen tv.
A few minutes pass. He then heard someone open the door lock. He furrowed his eyebrow.
'Who that might be? Loula was out, Akiko and Joe in their room around this time.'
Click!
"Urghh..I'm so exhausted.." Hazel groans. She looks up at the ceiling before she looks back at the front.
Seeing the man in front of her, she blinks her eyes a few times.
"Who...Who are you?" she asked and look at her right and then her left side.
"I am..Aaron..?" Aaron said while looking at her with a confused face.
'Why is she acting like that?'
"Whoa, man! You've changed your hairstyle?" Nigel who was walking inside the room asked him with a happy tone.
Chase also nods and follows behind Nigel. They dragging their luggage with them.
Slumped on the couch beside him, they both look at Hazel who is still standing at the entrance of the door.
"Yo, boss. What's up? Something happens?" Nigel asked making Hazel return back to reality.
Shake her head, she said "Nah..I'm tired. I'm starting to have a delusion right now."
"Are you sure you just tired? Not because you were struck by his face just now?" Nigel asks teasingly.
"Fuck off Nigel. I want to sleep. Don't disturb me. Chase, take over, will you?" she dragged her luggage to the elevator.
Chase, like always. He just nods and focuses his eyes on the tv along with Aaron.
"What movie did you watch?" Nigel asked both of them.
"Avengers," Aaron replied without seeing Nigel face.
Nigel focuses on the television. But only for a minute.
"Chase, what will we have for dinner?"
Chase glared at him with a murderous look.
'Don't disturb my movie time!'
"Ok, ok.." he makes a surrender sign.
"Hey, is it okay for me to cook? I want to eat something that I cook." Aaron said making both of them turned their eyes to him.
"You know how to cook?" Nigel ask.
"Yup. I think so."
"Great! Please make something delicious."
"Sure!"
Chase just silent and focus back on the movie.
...
In the evening,
All the occupants of Sun House walk down to the kitchen. They all sit at the kitchen island and look at how Alan serving the dinner.
"Wow, you really skillful. Is it possible that you are a chef before?" Loula asked. She was excited to see his smooth movement handling the knives.
"Hmm... I don't think so, my skin around my hand was so good and no cutting scar on it." Aaron said while putting the plate to all of them one by one.
"Man, that is awesome. Could you teach me how to do it?" Nigel ask.
"Sure."
"Akiko said, you cut your own hair, is it true?" Joe bit his apple after he asked him.
"Yeah. Why?"
"That's an amazing man, how do you know how to cut your own hair?"
"Err... I don't know? My hand moving by its own." he already takes off his apron and he sits down at the table facing Hazel.
"Or maybe you're a hairstyler before?" Joe takes a turn to guess his past job.
"Hmm..not likely either." he takes the pepper and passes to Hazel when he sees Hazel's eyes fixed on the pepper bottle.
"Thanks," Hazel said softly and take the bottle.
She then sipping her juices, but Loula accidentally nudges Hazel's elbow a bit making the juice slipping from her mouth.
Aaron immediately takes the napkin and dap on her lips and the place where the juices had spilled. He takes the glass from her hand and refills it again before he passes it back to her.
All of the eyes fixed on him.
"What?" he asked.
"What?" Aaron looks at everyone while scrunching his eyebrows."Man! Don't tell me, you're a waiter before?" Joe breaks the silence."Uhh...I don't think so, mate." he shakes his head."Then, what are you?" Nigel asks making Akiko raise her hand."I know, I know. He must be a superhero. He had nice abs and pecks when we found him, and not only that, he can cook and his movement is smooth and fast."".…." Aaron just chuckled and continue to eat his dinner. Its amusing him to see how worked up all of them to guess who he is."Oh, Akiko..you hurt me. Am I not man enough to you?" he replied with a hint of sulking.Chase takes the slice of carrot on his plate and puts it on Joe's plate making him more irritated."Damn you Chase!"'What?' he raise his eyebrows, he did not say anything, but his face clearly mocking Joe."You're telling me I'm skinny?" Joe narrowed his eyes to Chase."
Aaron walkout from the isolation room and strolled over to the living hall where is Chase and Joe were enjoying playing a video game there.He slouched on the couch and watch both of them playing the game. Chase notice his gaze and he handed his game console to him."Wanna play?" he asks.Looking down at the game console, he nods. "Yeah, let me try this stage."Lifting up his eyebrow, Chase shifts his sit from the floor to the couch, and Aaron changes from couch to the floor.Joe looks at two of them."Ready Aaron?" he snickers."Yeah.""I'll be gentle on you. Since this might be your first time playing this game." He said arrogantly."Mhm? Don't be too kind, Joe. Use all you got." Aaron also smirking looking at his face."Alright.." he pushes the start button....A few minutes later,Joe leaning his head back at the couch cushion with a defeat expres
She slips her hair behind her ear when the wind brushes her face. She looks at the fall leaves near her as she sits at the bus stop bench waiting for the bus to come over.She put the earphone on her ear and play her playlist on her iPod. Listening to the song, she starts remembering the blue eyes men she met before at the cafe.He was tall with a great shape of the body. Not a bulge one, but it was the one that will imprint to each woman's eyes once they saw his figure.His blonde hair and perfect jaw were so alluring. His eyes..is blue like sapphire and he gives an aristocratic vibe around him.Honking sound made her jolt her body a bit. She looks at the bus which already stops in front of the bus stop, she then stands up from the bench and steps inside the bus.After 15 minutes ride, she steps out from the bus and walks to her apartment."Hi Vi, just got back from your work?" a man who is her neighbor asks her before she twi
After having dinner, the four of them return back to the Sun House.Joe joins Akiko and Loula watching some drama series on the television while Nigel returns back to his room.Aaron went back to his isolation room and resting. While Chase took a bath and change his attire before he walks to Hazel's wing and knocks on her room door.After a few moments, Hazel open the door."What's the matter Chase?" she asks."Can we talk?""Sure. Come in." she pulls the door to widely open it.Walk inside her room, he takes a sit on the single chair facing her."We bros agree to let Aaron stay at this house.""Okay..so?""He needs a room.""Mhm..""And there is only one room left.""No, he can't.""Hazel..it's been years... let it go..will you?"Hazel shook her head making Chase stand up and look at her face."Move on Hazel.. you said you hate him, but you never let h
"Do you remember Asher?" Chase asked him. He knew Aaron already met this little boy last time.He nods. "Yeah.""He is… Hazel's fiance child." Said Joe."Oh, so, Asher is their child." Aaron nods again, not knowing why Joe suddenly said about their child."No. It's not Hazel's. It's his 'bastard' child. He had an affair or another girlfriend aside Hazel." Joe correcting him."What?" Aaron dumbfounds a moment."I know you wouldn't believe it either. So we run the DNA test on that child, it is a 99% match with his.""Whoa..that's too much for her.""Ever since that, people always talk bad about him. But I believe there must be a reason for him to do so. He's not the person who will hurt her. He loves her so much." Chase look at the floor blankly."What happened to him? I mean, they can still reconcile and be together right?""How do you plan to reconcile with someone who's already gone?
Chase takes his cup and sits at the table around the corner of the cafe. He put his sling bag on the seat and take out his book.Violet secretly peeking at him when she had a chance. Her action was caught by Poppy, her manager."He's handsome isn't he?" she looked at the way as Poppy's eyes do."Huh?" Violet immediately turned her eyes to her manager back."He's a regular customer. But, it's been months since last he visited here. I thought he might be already moving out to another city." she smiles and touches her shoulder signaling there is a customer at the counter.Not asking anymore, Violet continues her work as her manager, Poppy went back to the kitchen....After a whole day practicing and doing some exercise to built back his figure, Aaron walks into the bathroom to take his shower. His body is sweating so much.Standing under the shower, he closed his eyes. He keeps remembering the dream th
Chase looks at his wristwatch after almost the whole day he spends his time at the cafe. It's already 9.45 PM.'It's already this late?' he thought. He then shoves his book inside his bag and leaves the cafe.When he wants to cross the road, he suddenly remembers something. He then takes a seat at the bench near the cafe and crossing his hand around his chest. He waits...."Violet, don't forget to close the door once you finish cleaning," Poppy said as she walkout from the cafe.Violet nodded and continue her job to clean the cafe first. After she's done, she takes off her apron and wear her long cardigan and puts her beanie hat on her head.Retrieve her bag, she locks the cafe and activates the security door before she starts to walk on the sidewalk. After 5 minutes of walking, she turned her head around when she feels like someone was following her from behind.She squinted her eyes when she saw it was a man
In the middle of the night, like always, Aaron wakes up because of his dream. He tries to close his eyes again. Today, he is so tired and had no mood to get up from the bed.After a few minutes, Hazel walk inside his room."Oh no, no... I'm tired today. Go back to your room, Hazel." He said while looking toward her.'Damn! This girl seriously needs some mental therapy.' He grunts inside his heart.Without any reply, she lay down on the bed and start to cry. She clenches her finger on the comforter and grits her teeth like she was holding her tears.Seeing her broken side, Aaron's face turns soft and a weird feeling slowly emerges in his heart. He turned his body around and facing her.He then brings her body closer to him and patted on her back softly."There, there. Don't cry. Everything will be alright." He tries to calm her down, but she unconsciously snugs into his embrace. Using his arm as her pillow,
