The loud ringing of the phone managed to open the eyes of a girl on the library table there. For a moment rubbing his eyes, he reached into the phone in his sling bag and pressed the delay button to pick up the call.
"Allena, come home quickly! It's important." Without greeting, the woman across there immediately threw out a sentence of command.
Allena glanced at a glance at the watch on her wrist, showing it at 03:30 p.m. Means he's been sleeping here for two hours. His gaze was revealed to the library door. Fortunately it is still open.
"Yes, I'll be home soon. By the way what's important, ma'am?" allena asked as she moved, tidied up her appearance and left the library room.
During the walk down the campus corridor, the room was quiet. But he believes there are still people, only one - two may not always appear because of the vast building so large.
"Here you go, you'll know for yourself." That was Melly's last sentence before the call was cut off.
Allena snorted loudly. It seems his mother deliberately said that, because she knows for sure if her daughter is the type of person who is easily curious. So, rather than being harbored and getting bigger until finally torturing the mind, it is better to be satisfied with the action of knowledge seekers.

This time Allena took a quick taxi to the destination and knew what important things her mother would show. After paying the fare, with half a run he entered the house.
"Mother.I'm home!" he cried while running here and there, checking all the rooms in the house. But the result is nil. Her mother's figure was not found.
When Allena was thinking hard, trying to capture the understanding of what is happening now. Suddenly a pair of hands hugged his body from behind. It was taboo for him not to squeal in surprise.
"Who are you!?" ask her with a rebellious body, ask to be released.
"Shush." As soon as the heavy sound went soft, at that time Allena's body shook.
"Albern?"
"Hm. I told you that afternoon, for a few hours you can still be free, but not anymore."
"Can you let me go?"
"It's still unclear?"
"Albern, please. I'm lazy to fuss with you!" snapped Allena, her hands down there were already tightly clenched.
"Yes, okay." Not wanting to spoil the atmosphere, Albern relented and unraveled his embrace. Then turned Allena's body so that their positions faced each other. "You should get used to accepting the position, because later you will experience more than that" he continued with oddity.
Hearing the words Allena frowned. And now, not only were the wrinkles, the mouth and eyes were also enlarged while seeing Albern insert a ring on his ring finger.
When the dangerous sentence was spoken, Allena's heart seemed to stop beating. It was too sudden that he could not believe what he had just seen and heard. But, seeing the atmosphere of the house that is silent, what can still be called wrong hearing?
Worse, Albern revealed it after the ring-entry activity. Is that true? Does the man know, what answer will Allena give?
With the opportunity to approach, do not think if Albern managed to win his heart.
"Sorry before, Albern. I say this according to the bottom of my heart. With respect, I reject you." Allena pulled her arm from Albern's grasp, then was about to remove the ring on her finger as well. But before that happens.
"Don't!" Melly appeared behind the connecting wall between the living room and the living room, and approached Albern and his daughter. "Allena, I beg you to marry Albern. I guarantee you your life will be happy" he continued with clenched hands.
Allena widened her eyes in disbelief. His mother asked for a wedding? Ouh, now he understood what was meant by that important woman. Angry, Allena drags Melly to the back, precisely the kitchen.
"I'm also begging you. Don't force me to obey Mom again."
"Trust me, Al. He's fit to be your life partner. Besides being handsome he is also noble heart."
"Oh yeah? What do you know about him? Have you had a warm closeness? Is it because she's someone who's respected, you can hand me over to her?"
"Get me talking, Allena! Mom knew him. He's really serious about you. Mother's heart also points out that she's the right person to be your protector." Melly remained firm.
"Ah, whatever you want to talk about. I obviously don't want to marry him!" Allena did not lose stubbornly.
"But-"
"Enough! It's about my future. Even though you are my mother, the main decision remains in my hands. It's also about my life. All I know is about material and profit, while risk is always my responsibility. Who here suffers? Me!" Allena tried to control her hunting breath, before continuing. "So, stop managing my life again if you still love your daughter's happiness." After saying so, Allena sauntered towards her room with a hair squeeze, again frustrated.
Really, Allena had to do that. His goal was simply to awaken his mother from the selfish vices that had been tormenting people. Including her who is Melly's own daughter. Tired of being used as a profit-making tool. From this moment onward he would do an all-out contradiction.
On the other hand, Albern gave a smile. Inevitably, it is clear the picture of a fight between the mother and the child. Exclaims. That's response.
Speaking of the decision to propose, it seemed like he was taking too hastily. The new meeting several times made Allena has not yet solidified her heart to Albern. So, it was only natural that the girl was shocked by his sudden actions.
But because it has already been done, Albern will still break through the signs to continue his journey to reach the initial goal. Faster is better too. Soon the welcome will arrive. The Carroll clan for a girl named Allena Johnson.
