Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - "If You Fall, There's No Turning Back"
Leo was intrigued when he heard that there was something else he didn't know about Aleya. And he didn't feel strange anymore because since meeting and getting to know Aleya, he already felt that Aleya was different.
"Hello, dear."
Suddenly a girl's voice with a spoiled tone that Aleya didn't know appeared and even sat casually on Leo's lap.
The girl was dressed in a mini but still fairly polite. Her hair was straight and brown. Aleya looked at her and tried to assess the girl.
Leo sighed in annoyance that his morning had been disturbed by her. "What is it, Maya?" Leo asked in a cold voice.
"Who are you, little girl?" asked a girl named Maya to Aleya.
"Are you a big girl so you dare call me like that?" asked Aleya calmly.
"Of course, I'm a big girl who is the girlfriend of the guy you're talking to. How dare you, huh?"
"Maya, we are not in a special relationship," Leo corrected. "What do you need until you show up, interrupting my morning?"
Maya seemed to be smiling. Her slender fingers with polished nude nails touched Leo's cheeks with a seductive sensual style.
She also whispered to Leo and then chuckled as if it was funny and cute to her.
"You go first, then I'll do that," Leo said back.
Maya stood up, then adjusted her clothes that had been slightly lifted. "No, I won't go. But I'll wait in your car, Honey." She started walking, leaving Leo and Aleya. And when Leo's eyes watched her until she got into his car, Leo sighed, feeling bad for Aleya.
"I'm sorry. She's just a friend. But well, she likes me and considers me her boyfriend," Leo said openly.
Although Aleya was a little surprised by the scene she had just seen, she understood. She had been in a position like Maya. Liking a guy that he didn't like her back. But the difference was, that Aleya never behaved like Maya.
"It's okay. Maybe she can't accept your refusal yet."
"Yes, she isn't yet. I'm a bit confused about her because of my cold nature, she never even had a problem. Because the problem is-"
"She accompanies you and provides for your needs?" Aleya attacked, adding at the same time cutting Leo's words.
Leo gasped. He became embarrassed because Aleya quite understood what had happened to him and Maya. "You... know that."
She took another sip of her rose tea until it was finished until Aleya was ready to leave Leo. Suddenly she lost the mood to go for a walk according to Ivory's idea.
"The way you treat her and let her sit on your lap, proves it, Leo. And by the way, I have to go. You've been waiting for her too," said Aleya.
She stood up and so did Leo. But Leo held her hand and she quickly let go. "I told you, don't touch me, Leo. And I was in a hurry. Excuse me."
And in any case, Leo let her go. He didn't chase after her, instead, he watched her until she was nowhere to be seen.
Two of his bodyguards approached him and asked, "Should we follow her, Boss?"
"Do it. Don't get caught red-handed. Take notes if necessary," Leo ordered firmly.
Leo left the cafe and went into his car. He drove the car by letting Maya stay by his side.
"So, which hotel are we going to now?" Maya asked with a seductive smile.

She didn't know why she ran instead of flying. Even though it was her chance to be able to fly freely when she was free from Leo. But she kept on running as if she knew she was being chased by someone.
Turning into a dead-end alley and deserted, she immediately spread her wings and flew quickly and freely, leaving the dead-end alley.
She saw two of Leo's bodyguards turning into the same alley. And she was increasingly convinced that Leo had ordered them to follow her.
To get rid of the fatigue that suddenly appeared in her head, Aleya flew freely towards the white clouds. She sat on one of the white clouds, then sighed.
"What's the matter with me? Why do I feel annoyed when that girl shows up?" she asked herself.
Suddenly there was thunder with a flash of light which was not long followed by heavy rain. Aleya did not immediately shade. She remained sitting in the clouds that turned gray with heavy rain drenching her.
"Remember!"
A booming voice, so loud and firm, she heard very clearly. She looked around her, but couldn't find anyone.
"Remember what?" asked Aleya, not understanding.
"Remember your job that angels should not fall in love with humans. And if there is even the slightest feeling of falling in love with humans, your wings will slowly turn black, indicating that the angel has sinned."
The sound was echoing but terrible to hear. Aleya was even sure that the one who spoke was The Father of the Kingdom of Heaven.
She examined her wings which she could still see with her eye reach, she was relieved that the color of her wings was still white. And she always wished that it would remain white.
"Remember, My Child... if you fall, there's no turning back."
The rain stopped immediately after The Father said those words. It wasn't strange anymore, but it would be weird for the humans down there.
"I don't have a feeling for him. Not even once! And I have to finish my task!" said Aleya, motivating and reminding herself.
Finally, Aleya chose to get off and stopped at a quiet place. Some of her wings even fell off, like the previous days, and for her it was normal.
But she was immediately astonished when she saw for herself something had changed. She looked down at one of her fallen wings, which was in her hand. One of its wings was black. A color that even The Father had just described.
"No!" she hissed in surprise.
"It's impossible. There is no way. It's just dirty! Yes, it is!" And she didn't believe it. She even made a reason, but she was still surprised.
"No! No! No! No one can see this! Not even Gabriel or Ivory!" she said, trying to hide the fallen wings in her bag.
