7 Days With Althara

Tania

I was still standing still unable to believe what I was hearing.

“This is an Alhena promotion. Don't think anything about it” said Daniel explained what he meant.

I smiled sweetly at Daniel and walked closer to him.

“Niel. Actually there is something I want to talk to you” said me seriously.

“What ?” Ask her by frowning her.

“Actually I want to talk about this later but like her I have to say her now”

He silently looked at me confused.

“I want to resign Niel” he looks surprised by my words.

I looked at him badly too.

“My parents made a cafe in Bandung and they want me to manage it. Actually Papa I have long asked for this, but only this time I want to fulfill the wishes of my parents”

Daniel looked so surprised and he was still staring at me.

“When do you plan to resign?” Ask her disappointedly.

“This week. As soon as possible” answered me with full feeling forced to do this to Daniel who already trusted me so much.

He nodded his head weakly.

“Oke” replied with a smile so stiff.

“Let's talk about this again. I'll go home first. You were picked up, right?” Daniel asked once he was disappointed but he tried to cover it up.

I nodded my head.

“Then I first”

“OK”

Then Daniel left me standing and saw him walking away. I know he's disappointed but I can't let Papa and Althara down, I have to bear with Daniel.

The sound of a cell phone ringing in my bag.

Altharas.

“Hallo”

“I have reached” he has arrived in front of the office gate.

“Well I went there” then I hung up and approached Althara there.

All along the way I looked once I kept daydreaming staring out the window.

“What's up?” Althara asked with occasional glances at me and returned to focus with the streets before her.

“I've talked to Daniel about Resign I” plan said I sadly.

“Then?”

“Before I talked about it, Daniel even nawarin me to be Owner”

“You want?”

“I'm confused. His offer is too heavy Al, can you imagine me being the Owner? And I hold some Restaurant Daniel which is already quite familiar”

Althara was silent she did not answer. His face turned sharp.

“Iya I know you will not agree” said I guess the contents of his head.

“But it feels a pity that big offer I am biarin”

Althara was still silent and did not bother me at all. I know he's upset. He would never agree to that.

We got in front of my house. He stopped the car and looked at me so sharply. He would definitely say something serious.

“Listen Alhena. I just want to restore all the happiness I had lived in Bandung. And I want us both back there. But if your happiness is already here and being an Owner will make you happier I will never make you return to Bandung”

Althara said with a facial expression that I could not understand.

“I will still resign from my work now, and become the Owner in my own Cafe later” said me sweetly.

Althara smiled calmly and hugged me.

“Ya I have entered first ya” said me while releasing his embrace.

“OK. Straight break ya” pinta Althara while rubbing my hair.

I nodded my head sweetly. Then get off Althara's car and see her car drive away from my house.

I changed my clothes to a nightgown. I washed my face and immediately went to bed.

I went back to thinking about what Daniel had to offer me. Daniel has trusted me so much to ask me to be the owner. But unfortunately Daniel's request was late. If he had asked when Althara had not returned, I would have accepted the offer. But now it's too late. I don't want to let Althara down.

To esokan his day. I've been at work with her super busy. Lots of visitors who come to the Restaurant and make me help all employees to serve visitors.

“Dea please serve first who sat there” pinta ku to the employee who just entered.

“Oh okay” then he immediately approached the visitor I pointed.

I sat back behind my desk and started to crunch the computer in front of me.

Riani approached me.

“Heh” greeted him with still swerving his head towards Daniel's room.

“Whata?” Ketus.

“Kok the Daniel jutek really same lo?” It turned out that Riani also realized the change in Daniel's usual attitude was always greeting me or smiling sweetly at me.

“Iya yesterday I have said that I want to resign” said me with my hands still pressing the keyboard and the view can not be separated from the computer screen.

“Terus?”

I sighed and looked sadly at Riani.

“I also will not talk about my plan that wants to resign yesterday, because I wait for the right time to obrolin this same thing him. But yesterday he even offered me a promotion to become Owner”

Riani's eyes were round, she was surprised to hear my words.

“Serious lo bargained as Owner?”

“So that's why I'm confused about this too. But I really can't afford to be disappointed Althara Ri”

I'm getting confused considering all that.

“Life lo ribet terribly ya” ledek Riani.

I squinted my eyes at Riani and rolled my eyeballs in annoyance then went back to doing my job.

I came home early that night and I hadn't told Althara about it.

“Lo ga phone Althara?” Ask Riani.

“Ngga I want to go to his house first now”, I said while cleaning things on the workbench.

“You what?”

“Meet her family , I haven't been there for a long time. Bye” said I hurriedly left because my online taxi was waiting in front of the Restaurant.

I deliberately didn't tell Althara if I had come home and would visit her house. Let this be a little surprise for Laluna and Mommy.

I got to Althara's house. I immediately got down and approached the gate of his house. I was trying to find Althara's house security guard who usually opened the door immediately when he heard the sound of a car in front of the house. But the door was not opened. Finally I carefully opened the gate of Althara's house slightly and looked towards the guard post. The housekeeper Althara was not in his post. And the door of his house was wide. I quickly entered Althara's house.

I heard someone talking inside Althara's living room.

“I know you've come home from Germany so I'm looking for you here” a woman told Althara.

I kept hiding behind the walls of his house.

“Keep what you want?” Ketus Althara's.

“I just want to know how you are Althara. While in Germany suddenly you say”

I thought that woman was her college friend while in Germany.

“Now you just have to say, what business are you here for ? I don't have time, I have to pick up my girlfriend now” cold Althara.

“Pacar? You got a girlfriend?” Ask the woman not to believe.

“Alhena”

Suddenly I heard him laughing.

“The woman you often tell? Turns out she exists?” I was upset with the way he spoke.

I got into Althara's house and surprised them.

“Alhena” call Althara slowly.

“Hay” my greeting is sweet and instantly puts one hand on his waist.

“You why did you not tell me I used to” his panic staring at me.

“I want to meet Mommy and Laluna” replied me.

“This who?” I looked at the sweet woman in front of me. But he seemed unhappy with my presence.

“Known? I'm a friend of old Althara” said his hand reached out cynically.

I looked at Althara's face as she said that she was Althara's old friend. I don't remember Althara having a girlfriend for a long time.

I welcome his hand.

“Alhena” said I introduced myself.

“Tania”

his words surprised me to look at him. I couldn't blink when he mentioned his name.

Is that Tania I know? Is she the woman I used to hear?

Then I looked at the confused Althara beside me, with a face so shocked.

Was this Tania her close friend back in High School? And they even met while studying in Germany.

Why didn't Althara ever tell me?
