"Al tomorrow night I'm fiancee, don't forget to come yes" Aleena felt her esophagus choked as Rania called and told her about it. A strange feeling broke his heart. Though he had fortified his heart against his feelings for Ivan when the man was officially dating his best friend Rania, his determination grew stronger to kill his feelings for the man when he saw the attitude of Mr. Ivan who clearly seemed to hate him when he was accepted as a teacher in Pelita Harapan .
"Suddenly kok?" Only that sentence flashed through Aleena's mind.
"Suddenly Al, uda was arrested from last month. But I knowingly ngabarin you now so you don't forget to come" said Rania on the other end of the phone.
"But I have Ran's business, so I can't come" Aleena said regretfully. Aleena did lie, because she was afraid she could not control her feelings. He knows the limits of his ability. And Aleena realized her self-control wasn't very good. He is not good at covering his feelings, he is afraid that everyone is aware of his sadness at seeing the engagement of his best friend with Mr. Ivan
"Well, you're evil as me" Rania's voice was heard sulking.
"Yes own wrong love suddenly, just try from yesterday I can do it. If suddenly it's hard, I can't cancel my business"
"No need to know how you came. If not I'm angry" Rania cut off her phone just like that.
Aleena spread out her lethargic body as if it was boneless. Why does it feel so painful? has his secret feelings for Ivan continued to grow unbeknownst to him? but if indeed her feelings continue to grow why Aleena can avoid the man, even during 2 weeks of teaching at Pelita Harapan Aleena managed to cut their chance of meeting. Aleena never went to the teacher's room at recess, she would go to the cafeteria, to the uks, to the BK room or wherever she didn't go to the teacher's room. Wouldn't the feeling of love force the owner to always meet the idol of his heart?
"Why you still like Al, obviously Mr. Ivan hates you. She also always hurt you with her scathing words and cynical attitude" Aleena doubted her own sanity especially now that the clear circle was now down her cheek.
"Why the? why should I feel hurt? you're not Al. Please know yourself a little" Aleena grumbled cursing her own heart.
A shadow of the past suddenly flashed, forcing Aleena to recall a dark event she wanted to bury. An event that may be the reason why his feelings unwittingly continue to exist to this deep in Mr. Ivan.
2 Years ago
Disappointment at the father who left his mother with another woman made Aleena lose her way. The actions of the father incised a deep wound in his heart. Papa is a man whose pride is an idol figure who has never been rude to him or to the mother, but since his father knew the woman he changed, the affection of the broken father was not separated.
The night that the father was caught cheating which led to divorce made Aleena feel her world collapsed, her heart was really fragile and broken. The quarrel of both her parents made Aleena feel like in hell, she said, until Aleena desperately came out of the house to calm her mind. It doesn't matter if the time is almost midnight.
Footsteps continued to take him to walk until without realizing he was so far from home. He didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to go wherever he didn't hear two people he loved yelling at each other and hurting.
Aleena's steps came to a halt as she vaguely saw three men who when viewed from her appearance were not good people. The closer Aleena came to believe that they were thugs, especially in their hands they were seen holding a liquor bottle. Aleena felt that her condition would not be okay especially when the men looked at her and laughed.
"Hey pretty, why are the nights alone? you are sad apparently. Let's go have some fun" The smell of alcohol was so stinging that Aleena was getting scared, she felt so threatened.
"Don't go, let's have fun. Brother will make you forget about your problems" the three of them broke up. Aleena was getting scared that she was trying to let go of the thug's hand.
"Please let go, I want to go home" pleaded Aleena full of fear.
"Don't go home, miss, come with us. I guarantee you'll be happy" Aleena panicked, trying to turn her head hoping someone would pass by and save her. His heart continued to pray that God would send down a helper angel for him.
"Don't bother me, please let go of my hand" But the man kept pulling his hand and dragging the girl, inevitably Aleena tried to scream for help. Aleena felt almost hopeless the streets were so deserted it seemed impossible that anyone would pass through the middle of the night like this. While the three men continued to lie down strongly, they looked so overjoyed. Aleena shuddered even more in horror at what would happen to her.
Aleena continued to shout until without Aleena guessing a kick managed to make the thug holding his hand fall down.
Aleena stared in disbelief at the figure who turned out to be Mr. Ivan who was now staring intently at the three thugs who looked angry.
"Bother!" Shouted one of the thugs, then the three of them tried to attack Mr. Ivan, but lucky it seems that Mr. Ivan mastered martial arts to successfully paralyze the three thugs.
"Let's go" Ivan reached out to Aleena after knocking out the three thugs who were troubling the girl.
Mr. Ivan took Aleena to a parked car not far from there.
"Thank you for helping me sir, if there is no father maybe I'm finished in their hands" Aleena's heart was unceasingly grateful God had sent Ivan as a helper angel for her.
"Where did you end up? Why are these nights still out of the house in such unworthy clothes. It's worth it that they bother you" Mr. Ivan looked cynical staring at her.
Aleena looked down at the clothes she was wearing, the girl was so shocked when she realized the clothes she was wearing. It is fitting that Mr. Ivan was so cynical looking at him. he only wore a tanktop and hotpants, the most comfortable clothes he wore while sleeping. Because Aleena was too scared to pay no attention to her appearance.
Aleena just fell silent, she did not know what to say so there was no more talk between the two. But despite staring dislike Mr. Ivan is still kind enough to drive Aleena home.
Regardless of how the attitude of Mr. Ivan to him but Aleena still can not deny that Mr. Ivan is a hero who has saved him.
Since then his feelings that had been present when he sat on the High School bench back on bloom, he said, but he broke his expectations shortly after the incident Rania said that he was officially dating Mr. Ivan.
