7 Days With Althara

He's back

“Ri, order on behalf of Mr.Zidan already in anter?” Ask Riani who just received the order beside me.

“Udah ” is safe

“Oh okay”

That day I was back in sports with his bustling at the Restaurant. There was Daniel at his desk, he was calling someone with his Italian, which no one understood his language.

“Amo stella” I was shocked to hear Daniel say a word that I still remember.

I don't know what Daniel was talking about but the word “amo stella” has bothered me and made me remember Althara again.

“Al, can I borrow his computer for a while” said Daniel disperse my daydreams.

“Oh yes” I shifted my body and loaned Daniel my computer.

“Niel” call me with doubt.

“Ya” answered her without turning her head.

Now I can call him by name, so that he is not always noisy complaining because I always call him by the name 'Father'.

“So I heard you say the word ‘amo stella’ what is it?” Ask me carefully.

“Soalah I ever heard that word but I do not know what it means” said I lied.

All this time I always felt doubt with the meaning of Amo stella who always said Althara every time, even the name of her contact, she wrote with 'Amo Stella' which according to Althara means 'handsome'.

“Amo stella is Latin, which means ku” star.

I was immediately stunned and daydreamed to remember Althara. My memory goes back to those times, where Althara and I were always talking about stars.

“men I have a..”.

I no longer listen to the continuation of Daniel's story, hearing the meaning of ‘amo stella’ alone is enough for me to hear and make me remember Althara who always called it. Althara used to say that word every time she looked at me and flattered me. I have always believed him that the meaning of ‘amo stella’ is ‘handsome men’.

“Alhena” call Daniel.

“Oh yes why?”

“Kok you even daydream?”

I immediately regained my senses and scratched my non-itchy forehead.

“Ngga, I'm just.” I'm still looking for reasons for that.

“again thinking of meeting materials for tomorrow niel”, I said evasively.

Daniel smiled at me.

“You don't need to think about it al, you just focus today yes, I see you are not healthy lately, don't get you sick because you are too tired of work ya al”

It looks so sincere Daniel is worried about me. I also felt that Daniel was always trying to approach me further, but somehow Daniel was not the right person to replace Althara.

At night in my room Rey called to ask me to see the work of her photos that had been uploaded on her personal Instagram. I opened my laptop and immediately saw Rey's Instagram.

“Good right?” Ask her on the phone.

I saw some of my photos uploaded by Rey. Rey has always loved taking pictures of me secretly, because she knows I don't like taking pictures. I never even wanted to be invited by Rey as a model for her project.

I'm getting more and more intense with Rey. I can accept her presence as long as she doesn't try to go any further in my life.

“Rey, this is a lot of his photos. I'm ugly again” I complain with a lot of his photos on Rey's Instagram.

“Kalo you are ugly, you will probably love my post and the proof many who think if you are already rich model right? Read the deh” comment

“It is because you are a photographer, not because I am the”

“Haha,oh yes tomorrow so to the bookstore right?” Rey asked, remembering that I asked her to take me to the bookstore.

Rey had driven me to the bookstore several times when Riani couldn't, and Rey was more patient than Riani who was always saturated and complained waiting for me at the bookstore.

“So, tomorrow I go home early”

“Oke if that, it's already. Good night Alhena”

“Goodnight Rey”

Then he hung up on her. I looked at my phone screen and lamented.

Now Rey feels good. She tried not to make me stay away from her, she was already a good friend to me. Although she used to seduce me sometimes, I always gave her an understanding if I was not ready to open my heart and I did not want to tell Rey anything. And Rey finally understood, and she was now turning into a fun friend

to me.

The next day Rey came early to the Resto in a hurry.

“Rey?” I approached her.

“Alhena I'm sorry, today I can't anter you to the bookstore”

“What's up?”

“Temen I who studied in Germany he just came home today, me and my friends want to pick him up at the airport now, it's okay I'm not anter you today?”

“Temen one University you first?” Much

“Iya”

“Oke it's okay Rey, I can do it myself kok”

“It's okay?”

“Iya Rey, no what”

I shook my head at his behavior.

A few hours passed at the airport.

Rey and her friends were waiting for someone at the restaurant at the airport to wait for her friend who had just returned from outside Negri, they were all waiting while eating chatting and joking.

A man was walking in the airport lobby dragging a large blue suitcase. The tall, white, stout man and his casual look make him walk in the airport worthy of his hollywood model.

“Tara..” shouted Sam to the man while raising his hand.

The man returned his hand and immediately approached Rey and her other friends.

All the men there greeted him with shakes and hugged him happily.

“Crazy, finally college lo kelar also tar” said Sam.

“Gue guess you still feel at home in there lama” ledek Rey.

“Ngga lah,gue also want to pass nyulau” said the man.

“Lo healthy ? How did it end ? lo dapet cewe ga there?” Fadil teased him.

The man just shook his head while smiling.

“Dil, dil lo kayak who did not know Althara aja, he was very loyal to his girl in Indo, so you love naked girls in front of him. Most women hypothermia because in Althara” diemin everyone laughs with Sam's babble, Which is true.

Althara's loyalty was so strong that it astonished her friends, because from the time Althara entered college in Jakarta to moving to Germany she never once tried to open her heart to other women.

“Ya already yuk yuk unplug my house,Mother already masakin food for you” invite Althara.

“Asiikkk Mother cook big nih kayak nya” said Rey who looked very familiar with Althara's parents.

Position in the car. Rey drives Fadil beside her, Althara and Sam are in the back seat.

“Oh yes, exhibition painting lo next month is safe right?” Ask Rey.

“Aman already, just a few more paintings that I haven't done”

“Gue already told my girl to help you later there, she already wants finally, we have extra energy to manage the lo” event said Fadil without looking back.

“thank really yes you guys have helped me”

“gue also want to bring a new girl I ntar there” said Sam, making all his friends look at each other.

“lo have a new girl again?” ask Althara.

“ya have lah”

“Yang yesterday you came?”

“Udah break me, ga like tuh cewe much set”

“Haha gapapa you have cewe” said Althara with a smile.

“who didn't have tuh he” ledek Sam glanced at Rey.

“eh, he almost has now quiet aja” tangkis Fadil.

“iya almost, if aja his girl had forgotten the same former his” Fadil and Sam was so satisfied to laugh at Rey who often complained difficult to approach the woman.

“Hahaha, his cewe can't move on?” althara asked laughing, she did not realize that she was the same.

“iya he never about his past, but it seems like he was traumatized by the same men, the same men, I just have to pretend to be friends with him in order to be able to continue with him” Rey told me about the woman in her tribe.

“Nih want to see her girl ga?” tanya Sam showed me a picture of a woman on Rey's Instagram.

althara's heart beat so fast when she saw a woman she knew on Rey's Instagram.

All the photos of the woman in Rey's post made her not blink in the slightest, she looked at the figure of the woman in disbelief.

“Name is Alhena added Sam” Althara certainly knows who that woman is.

There's no way Althara forgot about a woman who's been filling her heart, and all this time she's been waiting for. But he could not believe this woman was the woman Rey had been looking for.

Alhena has changed into a beautiful adult female figure with her long hair, her face does not change, still looks beautiful and sweet, but the appearance of her who used to be just a high school girl, but the appearance of her,now it has turned into a much more beautiful career woman.

Althara is indeed rarely played sosmed, which makes him finally never know if his woman has been targeted by his own friends.

“Heh Althara” call Rey wake up her reverie.

“Tamu lo have confirmed right to come to the exhibition lo next month?” ask Rey again.

Althara silently thought of something. A crazy idea suddenly popped into his head.

“Sorry I forgot to say, important guests I can not come next month”

Everyone stared at Althara worriedly, including Rey who glanced at Althar in her rearview mirror.

“and kayak her exhibition should I advance in her schedule so next week let her comeg”

Althara managed to shock all her friends in the car.

“Hah? next week, crazy lo?” fadil looked back in annoyance.

“Tar, you said you're dead next month why did you suddenly say so next week? ” said Sam.

“Why do you know the guest ga dateng?” Add Fadil.

“This guest is too important for me” said Althara while continuing to look back at the photo of Alhena on Sam's cellphone which is still in his hold.
