Her Broken Euphoria

Chapter 06

“Eh?! Thirty thousand dollars?! Aliana why do you need that large amount of money?”

Aliana slightly distanced her cellphone from her ear after Chastity's exaggerated reaction to the favor she was asking for. When Aliana returned to the hotel she was staying at, she immediately called her to borrow the funds needed because Aliana was sure that if she withdraw the money to her bank account her parent will be suspicious. She didn't want them to know what she was doing while she was in Switzerland because they would not agree.

Aliana just wanted to help Lucille's condition and cure its illness.

“Because I need that money, I'll will surely give back the money I'll borrow to you Chas, it's just that I don't want to inform my mother about this, that's why I cannot use my money on my account.” Aliana explained to her friend.

“ Aliana there's no problem on me if you want me to lend you money, but in that big amount you're asking, where will you gonna use that?”

“I met a wonderful kid here, she's orphaned and lives in an asylum here in Zouz. And she had a brain tumor, the orphanage could not find enough sponsor for the operation of that kid, and I want to help.” Aliana explained to her friend.

Aliana wants during her vacation before returning to their country and doing what her parents wants her to do. She just want to help other people, especially children who need it.

“When it comes to children, you really have a special spot for them in your heart.” Chastity says to her that makes Aliana smile at the thought.

“ Maybe it's because I want them to enjoy their life while they are young that I never experienced because of the pressure my parents give to me. I want to help children enjoy their childhood.” Aliana's smilingly said.

“Look what your parents did to you, they love their business more than the happiness and wants of their own child.”

Aliana smiled at what her friend said, she walked to the window and watched the city lights from the floor of the unit she was staying at the hotel.

“I will send the money you need tomorrow, just enjoy your vacation there. Do what you always want to do, paint every place that capture your eyes on it's beauty. Forget the pressure your parents give you, okay?”

“Copy that! Thanks Chastity, I'll get back to you.”

“No worries, anyway, how was your second day in Zouz, Switzerland?”

“ I enjoyed it, Switzerland is indeed a country that I can relax.”

“ Have you ever meet handsome man there? Business men who mesmerized by your beauty?” Chastity's asked her while she see the serious face of Matthias entering her mind.

“ I am here for vacation, to rest and not to hunt someone. Besides, you know I have no right to choose who will I like, if not my parents' approvals.” Aliana replied that she take away Matthias's face to her thought and walked over to her bed and lay down there.

“ You know your parents, is not just a villain to your passion they are as well control freak to your love life — you really don't have a freewill. You are no longer a child to watch out for, Aliana you are already in the right age to decide for yourself, and to love a man that you will like. What if you met him there in Switzerland, and fall in love with one another? Your parents will be against by it, so he will become the one that got away?”

“You are really thinking advancedly, Chas, I didn't come here to Switzerland to look for a man. Besides, it's hard to find a good guy in this day.” Aliana said.

The two of them continually talked for hours, and as the night go deep the two friends bid their goodbyes to sleep.

The next day Aliana woke up early, fixing herself to go to the orphanage again, she also received a message to Chastity that she already send the money she was borrowing, so she decided to withdraw the money first before going straight to the asylum.

Aliana just got out of the hotel and was looking for a taxi, but she got startled and look at her right side because of the loud horn she heard and to her surprise he saw Matthias standing next to a black motorbike.

What is he doing here? Aliana question to herself as she looked at Matthias who walked closer to her.

“Hey.” he said as a greet to her.

“Coincidence, do you have an appointment with someone staying here in the hotel?” Aliana asked as she thought she seemed to be feeling close to ask about it.

“Yeah, you.” Matthias's serious answer to her that makes Aliana slightly surprised in the thought before pointing herself out.

“M-Me? Am I the reason you came to? B-but why?”

“ Sister Theresa mentioned to me that you will help Lucille, are you really in charge of her surgery?” he asked and Aliana nod her head as a reponse to his question.

“Yes, I want to help her to live longer and enjoy her childhood. And I am truly willing about it and I am not asking for anything in return .” Aliana explained because she doesn't want for him to think negatively about her helping Lucille.

“Thank you, I'll pay you when I accumulate enough funds.” Matthias said and Aliana immediately shake her head as a sign of her disapproval.

“ I don't have intention for reimbursent, I gave the money to use in Lucille's operation. You don't have to pay me.”

“Why are you so kind to them? You just barely met the kids at asylum, especially to Lucille but you are immediately willing to help them at any cost. Everyone I approached from the past they will help if they will be compensated for their act. That's why I'm doing everything I can to make my own money just to operate Lucille.” Matthias said.

“ I just really want to help, that's just my clear intention.” Aliana replied that makes Matthias stared at her.

“ Are you going to orphanage?”

“Y-yes but I'm still need to do some errand, I'll take the money for Lucille's surgery.” Aliana's immediate answer and she got surprised when Matthias reached out to her the helmet he was holding that Aliana didn't notice he was carrying.

“ I will accompany you, I can be your guard today to secure the money for Lucille's operation.” Matthias's said and firstly walk back to its motorbike while Aliana chasingly look at him.

Aliana was confuse about his action because just yesterday he was so snob, and right now he suddenly changed his temperament towards her because of Lucille and the help she provided for the kid surgery. Aliana sees that Matthias really cares about Lucille as an older brother even though they don't really blood related.

“ There is still a really good guy, he's just snob.” Aliana said to herself.

“Are you coming or not?” Matthias attentionly called to her that Aliana quickly runs toward Matthias who is waiting for her.
