08

It's been a month since Gio and Gabriel left their hometown, and during that month Aleric still doesn't know where the two of them are. Aleric was still trying to find Gabriel's whereabouts here and there, he was also still trying to ask Evan and Gabriel's parents. But the answer that Aleric got was still the same, they didn't know Gabriel's whereabouts, or rather they didn't want to tell Gabriel's whereabouts.

David juga masih belum mengetahui keberadaan Gio dan Gabriel, karna hingga detik ini Evan masih mengunci rapat mulutnya untuk tidak berbicara mengenai Gio dan Gabriel kepada David.

Aleric and David also asked Jennie, but the result was the same, Jennie also said she didn't know where Gabriel was. Even that girl would always try her best to avoid Aleric so that she wouldn't be asked continuously by the young man.

Five months have passed and Aleric is still trying to find out where Gio and Gabriel might have gone with the help of David. All efforts have been made by Aleric, but so far the results have been nil, not even the slightest trace of Gio or Gabriel anywhere.

Aleric didn't care about everything, even the photo studio that he had started from scratch was left unattended. All of Aleric's efforts and materials had been expended, but still there was not the slightest result that was able to bring him to meet Gabriel. Truly, Gio was very good at erasing traces of himself and Gabriel.

"Haven't there been any news from your man David?" Aleric asked wearily looking at the photo of Gabriel he was holding.

"Not yet." David approached Aleric who was standing at the big glass window of his apartment. "Even my messenger has explored every country in this hemisphere. but Gio and Gabriel are like swallowed up by the earth, not a single trace."

"Gio really wanted to keep me away from Gabriel. I'm really sorry David." Aleric said desperately, tears running down his cheeks.

"Yes I know."

David was very sad to see Aleric's condition now, he was like a living corpse. From morning to night, Aleric would search everywhere for clues to Gabriel's whereabouts. And when he was tired, Aleric would always stand at the big glass window of his apartment, staring out the window holding Gabriel's photo.

Aleric was very sorry for his actions, he didn't expect his stupidity to make the person he loved so much leave. Even now Gabriel had gone far, far away, that Aleric didn't even know where he was. Aleric is really very sorry, but isn't regret always coming too late.

"I'm going home, later if there is any update about Gabriel I will let you know." Kara David stepped out of Aleric's apartment.

Aleric just kept quiet and kept looking out the window. His only thought was where Gabriel was.

Flash back on.

"It's been a long time." Aleric complained, hugging Gabriel who was cooking from behind.

"It'll be cooked in a moment, so don't bother me." Gabriel continued to cook.

"I'm already very hungry."

Gabriel sighed, turned off the stove and turned to face Aleric. "Stop bothering me when you're hungry, okay." Gabriel's words touched Aleric's cheek.

"It's not my stomach that's hungry, baby." Aleric said, kissing Gabriel's cheek.

"Aow, why are you biting my cheek!" Gabriel exclaimed, stroking the cheek that was bitten by Aleric.

"Your cheeks are so adorable, baby." Aleric said, rubbing Gabriel's lower lip which had saliva on it with his thumb. "And always sweet."

"Ish, already sit there, the food will be ready in a moment." Gabriel shooed his back to Aleric.

"Yes, yes, fine." Aleric stepped out of the kitchen. "Hurry up, before I eat these buns." Aleric whispered suddenly in Gabriel's ear..

Gabriel turned and glared at Aleric. As for Aleric, of course he laughed in satisfaction at seducing his handsome girlfriend.

After everything was ready, the two of them had dinner with Aleric who still always teased Gabriel. Oh, Aleric really liked it when he saw Gabriel's face blush, it would look so cute.

"Don't keep teasing me~" Gabriel pouted and pursed his lips.

"Hey, don't make that face baby. Or I'll really eat you now." Aleric said, teasing Gabriel even more.

"Hoi Al" Gabriel glared at Aleri.

"Hahaha.. kidding baby. When you've finished your food, I'll take you home soon. If I admit keeping you here too long, I'm sure Gio will come and get mad at me."

Gabriel just nodded and finished the rest of his food. If asked, has Gabriel never stayed at Aleric's apartment?.

The answer is never. But it must be with permission from Gio. If you don't get permission, don't expect Gio to let Gabriel stay at Aleric's apartment. Gio will come and lecture Aleric with many words Ohooo.. Aleric doesn't want that to happen now, he still loves his ears, so after dinner Aleric will take Gabriel home.

Flashback off.

.....

Aleric smiled remembering his memories with Gabriel.

"If I didn't make that stupid mistake baby." Aleric stared at the photo of Gabriel in his hand. "Maybe now I can still joke with you and hug you."

You can see the clear liquid starting to wet Aleric's cheeks. He stroked the photo of Gabriel smiling sweetly, and kissed him full of longing and regret.

"I will definitely find you, baby. And I will make up for all my mistakes with you first."
