Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

Part 12's

I felt a gentle breeze caressing my face. Time showed at 8pm, I haven't closed the window. I stared at the flickering colorful lights that adorned the small tree in front of the neighboring house. I breathe in, then I breathe out slowly.

'Today I am happy, ' I said in my heart. I subconsciously put a smile on my lips. I am grateful to have people who care and help me forget my problems for a while. At least when my heart is calm, I can think more clearly.

Ting!

Irvan: Hey, how was your day today?

Alena: Ahh, I am so grateful!

Irvan: Is there anyone who makes you happy?

Alena: Emm ... I'm happy there are still so many people who care about me. One of them is : )

Irvan: Hmm... Is there anything I have done?

Alena: Always being by my side is enough.

Irvan didn't reply right away, so it made me reopen his last reply and it was quite shocking to me.

'Eh? What have I said? Ow hell! Don't let him misunderstand!' I wanted to pull the message but was worried Irvan had read it. If it's not withdrawn, what if he misunderstands?

Alena : Ahh .. anu sorry.

Irvan: I'm sorry, there was a moment's business. You're apologizing? Sorry for what?

Alena: Emm. I'm gonna take a break.

Irvan: Oh, okay! You need a lot of energy for a happier day. The spirit!

Alena: Haha .. yes! Thank you!

'Whihhh!! Fortunately, he did not ask questions. I don't want her to think a no-no, 'my mind is relieved.

I breathed back in the cold that night and then I closed the window and laid down my body on my beloved bed. Hopefully in the future there will be no more significant problems.

..

"Len, Mr. Dwi is eating together anyway." Tasya.

"Huh? Me?"

"No, we're-we are too" he said, smiling.

"Ahh, I guess. I almost misunderstood," I replied in relief.

"Do you expect to be invited to eat with Mr. Dwi?" whispered Tasya in my ear.

"Huh! What do you think, anyway? It can't be!" I dispute. Yes indeed, I would refuse if invited to eat both. Then Tasya crouched down next to my desk and still spoke in a half-whispering tone.

"Len, Mr. Dwi is handsome don't you think?"

"Eh?" The question made me stare. "You?"

"Sstttttttt!" He put his finger on the tip of his lip. "Javab!"

"Hmm .. pretty handsome, dashing too."

"Well, right! Ah, my eye judgment is not wrong."

"What's wrong?" ask me curious

"That's it, Reyna. When I asked if Mr. Dwi was handsome, he denied. 'What handsome?' He said that." Tasya follows Reyna's style of speech.

"Well, people's tastes are different, yes," I said.

"Yes, I know. But the proof is that you say Mr. Dwi is also handsome," he said still did not want to lose.

"Maybe we're one taste, Reyna's different."

"Hmm ... so?" tanyanya then moved her lips again.

"Hayoo ... on huddle, huh?" Atika suddenly appeared and made Tasya suddenly stand up in shock.

"Gee! Ma'am Tika, just ngagetin!" abugn.

"What's talking about?" ask Atika again. I looked back at my worksheet. Then Tasya whispered something in Atika's ear. Don't know what.

"Ohh, Reyna is indeed different tastes," said Atika half whispered. I can still hear it.

"Hey hey! If you want to gossip, don't be here!" I kicked them both out.

"Heuu! Yes, I'll go back to my desk. Oh yea! Don't forget to have lunch together! Don't refuse anymore!" Tasya. During this time I rarely wanted to join them, I chose to eat alone while finishing my work.

"Yes-yes, okay!" lazy answer. Tasya returned to her desk.

"Have your mood improved?" ask Atika.

"Well, that's how. At least better than yesterday."

"Thank God. If so, don't avoid it again! At least the friends here can accompany you even if only at the office."

"Yes, Tik. Thanks a lot."

"Yep, you're welcome." Then Atika returned to her desk.

At lunch, we ate together in the office cafeteria. Even the Manager joined in. It was nice to be together like this. They can talk like friends regardless of position. I feel like I'm too stiff.

"Finally yes, Alena wants to join," said the Manager. I stopped chewing, I had to swallow the rice that was not so smooth and then smile. I'm a little embarrassed.

"Yes, eat together like this, Len. Perhaps among us can be your soul mate," said Mr. Dwi. I narrowed both eyes. A soul mate? I haven't thought about it yet.

"Well, Mr. Dwi's code!" Tasya added.

"Hayo, my God! I like Alena, don't you?" Tasya corner Mr. Dwi with his trademark tinge of tinkering.

"Abroad! Mr. Dwi already has a candidate yes!" said Mrs Manager.

"Huh? Mom seriously? Ouch, Sir! Broken my heart," lamented Tasya who was of course just a joke. We all laughed.

Despite being called father, actually Mr. Dwi is not so old. His role as HRD made us call him that.

After eating, we went back to our desks. Before I go back, I go to the bathroom first. Get out of there I cross paths with Mr. Dwi.

"Lena," call him.

"Eh, Mr. Dwi. From the bathroom too?" ask pleasantries.

"Yes. There's an abis stuck in the teeth, it's not comfortable."

"Oh .. haha yes, sir," I replied accordingly.

"Len."

"Yes, Sir?"

"I'm glad you finally joined us for lunch."

"Hehe, yes, sir. I also thank you for being invited."

"However you are too, right, an employee here, who may not be invited."

"Ah, yes, sir."

"Don't be too stiff, yeah! We could be your friends here. Don't limit yourself too much!" then he smiled.

"Yes, sir."

"Yep, back in the room!"

"I-yes, sir."

Mr. Dwi stepped first into his room, I also slowly returned to my desk. As soon as I sat down, I thought for a moment. Lately more and more good people are coming. Making me realize that my life is not so bad. I smiled at myself and went back to work.

.

A few days later, after work. My car's on strike.

"Aghh!! Gini the risk of buying a used car. The installments have not been paid off yet continue." I nagged myself.

"What's up, Len?" ask Mr. Dwi who just came out of the office.

"Ah, usual, sir. No more jams can't be starter."

"May I check?"

"Please, sir," I said. Then Mr. Dwi checked some parts of my car.

"I think there are some tools that must be replaced. If it's just fixed, afraid to damage the other part," he suggested to me.

"Oh, so yeah. I'll go to the workshop later. Thank you, sir."

"Yes, equally. Want to go home with me?"

"Ah, no need, sir. I don't have a helmet," I refused subtly.

"What area are you in?"

"On Cempaka Street 33, sir."

"Ah, right there. I know the way inside. Safe from the police."

"But it's a long way off, sir. I can order ojek online really," I said still trying to refuse.

"In the right direction, let you reduce the cost too. The study is still long, right? After all you also still need money to fix the car."

What kind of persuasion is this? I have no reason to refuse anymore.

"Anu, later if your fiancee knows how?" I use the most obvious reason I think.

"What engagement? I'm single, just like you." Then he laughed. I scrunched my forehead. Do you know where I am now single?

"But, didn't Bu Manager say Mr Dwi already had a candidate?" ask again.

"I used to be single now" he said convincingly. "Here you go, let's go!"

"This time, sir?" my word.

"Often it is also okay" he replied with a smile that again adorned his face.

I finally comply. Mr. Dwi brought his bike quite slowly. He's passing through the streets in the little alleys.

"I'm sorry, sir," I said slowly.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Why slow down, huh?"

"Oh, ask for speed?"

"Eh, it's not like that. Usually guys like to take speeding bikes."

"Oh yes. I also like to speed. It's just that you don't wear a helmet now, so I also have to be more careful. Kasian also if your hair is messy. It'll be pretty in disguise."

The blush! I felt my face warm. Looks like my face now looks like boiled shrimp. I lowered my face, hoping that Mr. Dwi could not see me from the rearview mirror.
