His Purpose
173. FLASHBACK: The Elegy of Twilight

"They're dating?"

"Aaron's dating that cocky girl?"

"That's right. I don't believe this."

"I think his taste is graceful and achievers like Monica. I can't believe men are the same."

"The girl must be good at playing, so Aaron felt at home 2 years close to him."

"Come .. My service is superior to her. I'm sure it is."

Maria ignored the various rumors. He could not help but smile, embrace Aaron's arm and wrestle spoiled to the man. The two of them entered the elevator. Before that, Maria had thrown a triumphant glance at the girls out there who were looking at her enviously.

Inside the elevator, Maria turned her head and looked up at Aaron. "Senior—"

"Gibrans."

"Yes?"

Aaron looked. "That's my birth name" he said short.

"Oh ..." Maria blinked confused. He scratched the nape for a moment. "Senior has 2 names?"

"Hm."

Maria didn't ask any more because they had reached the floor of Maria's classroom. Aaron, or Maria can also call it Gibran, the man drove him to the front of the class, according to the request of Maria who was deliberately wanted to show off.

"But I'm still comfortable calling Senior only," Maria said.

Aaron did not make a sound. He told Maria to come in. But the woman refused and even pointed her lips indistinctly.

Aaron frowned incomprehensibly, making Mary stomp and cluck at the insensitivity of the man.

Maria on her tiptoes holding onto Aaron's shoulder. Then ... Cup.

This guy like Aaron doesn't fit the code, he's used to the no-nonsense action. The character does not like to waste time.

Maria gave a smile after kissing her lips in public. Passersby noticed them. Just look, Maria gave an answer to people who often gossiped about her because she was happy to chase Aaron. They call it shameless.

This is the definition of effort will not betray results. Mary's struggle bears sweet fruit with Aaron who ends up accepting her love.

However, something sweet does not always last long. Two months of his relationship with Aaron went well, before the terrible terrors came to Mary's life.

One of them that night, after participating in excursion activities on campus, an unknown person suddenly attacked Maria in her penthouse. The man brutally beat Maria.

Not only once, Maria often get the torture regularly. Unbeknownst to Aaron or Gibran, Maria had been in treatment for several days.

Miris once, the relationship and Aaron did not approve of the man. Aaron has never introduced Mary to his mother or father. Maria thinks Aaron's family is spying on her secretly.

The effects of these events seem to be felt Aaron. Maria's slight change in attitude became quiet enough Aaron realized. He did not express that astonishment to Maria.

However, when Aaron realized there was a bruise on Maria's temple, that was when he dared to ask. But Mary only said that she stumbled upon a hard object unintentionally.

From there their relationship is often overwhelmed with awkwardness. Maria often lies and is dishonest to Aaron for a number of reasons. Aaron knew that, but he chose silence because he was reluctant to make Maria more uncomfortable if he asked too many questions.

Finally out of curiosity, Aaron found out for himself the problems that Maria experienced without his knowledge. He understood what made Mary change. The girl tends to be more careful if they are together. Maria is also often found unfocused and daydreaming.

It was all because of Willis. They threatened her in such a way. Aaron was furious, but he was not strong enough to fight them.

For a while breaking up was the best way of securing Maria. Aaron will pursue his goal of continuing his study in Switzerland. During that time, he will make sure Maria finishes college safely in New York, with no shadow of Willis' threat.

But the plan is only a plan. After breaking up with Maria, something unexpected happens. Aaron, who has blocked all access to his relationship with Maria, tries to be ignorant despite the girl's injured look often making him weak.

At the graduation party on campus. That night something happened between them. Aaron who realized there was a problem with his drink could not resist the desire.

He who did not want to touch other women was forced to impose his will on Mary who was also present at the event.

The thing Aaron failed to anticipate was Maria's pregnancy. The girl continued to contact Aaron after a month. Many times Aaron blocked, but Maria's name again appeared with a new number.

Aaron was confused, especially as if his grandfather had already smelled the news. Maria doesn't know the reason Aaron never responded to his messages is because of hackers.

Aaron often fought digitally when his phone was hijacked. He forbade Maria from contacting him because it was likely that their conversation would be leaked and known to her family.

Aaron has tried to be ignorant. He ignored Mary's cries that might have sounded heartbreaking. He knew that the girl must also be confused in the middle of the situation.

But, stupidly Aaron he continues to be selfish. Aaron did not deny that he thought the pregnancy was a parasite that would block his steps. But he also did not hate the fetus in Mary's stomach.

The biggest thing Aaron was worried about was Maria's own education. She knows that being a mother at a young age is not easy. Especially if Maria is still in college. The woman's emotions are not yet fully stable.

Aaron was worried that if the baby was born Maria would have trouble dividing the time, even though he could actually pay the sisters to help, even Aaron would certainly give money, still, everything will not be as easy as if Maria went to college without having to be a single mother.

Aaron said his opinion so that Maria would just abort the pregnancy. Maria pursued her to the faculty because she was difficult to contact.

There was a sense of unbearable to see his wounded highlight. But what to say, Aaron himself is not sure if he should be a father at that age. There is still much Aaron wants to accomplish without any distractions, including a child.

But he did not know, the decision brought disaster on that day. True to the saying, regret always comes at the end, no one knows where destiny will bring man.

Seeing Maria who was spattered with blood on the streets Aaron's heart was also crushed. There was something more hitting her instinct hard. It is the foetus that is the victim among them.

The deadly incident that afternoon not only claimed the sanity of Gibran, but also Dusk that he had not been able to greet.
