Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

15

"I want to get closer to you, Lena." A simple sentence that is still ringing up to tonight.

"Aarrgghh!!! Mas Dwi why can it be like that anyway??" I squeezed out the pillow that now covered my face.

"OK relax! Relax!" Slowly breathe. "Uuhhhh can't!!!!" I was alone in the room. My feelings are not careless, there are happy, confused and amused.

'Can I like Mas Dwi? But I shouldn't have thought so first, not necessarily she likes me too. Perhaps 'close' in another sense, ' my inner self in the heart.

"Is your son in love again?" Suddenly, my mother was standing at the door of my room.

"Haiy!!" I was surprised, almost falling out of bed because I was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"No need to be that surprised. He's a good guy and is he still single?" ask Mama. I'm nodding.

"Yes, don't choose again!" order Mom to go from there.

Hearing Mama's words, I immediately thought. Also true. Ma'am Manager once said that Mas Dwi already had a candidate. Okay I can't fall in love now. I have to investigate first.

..

The days are peaceful. Robi doesn't bother me anymore. Well, because Mama said she was abroad for two weeks. He once promised to take me around the world. Huh! Promise to keep promise. Let alone traveling around the world, invited to marry just do not want.

"Hey, let's have lunch!" take Atika who deliberately approached my work desk.

"Oh, come!" I took my wallet and my phone. "Two of them?" I asked as we walked to the cafeteria.

"No, the others went to the cafeteria first."

"Ohh, yeah-yes-yes."

"Eh, you know what?" ask Atika without continuing what topic he asked. Surely that sentence is the beginning of the rumors that we will discuss.

"Know what?"

"Pak Dwi turned out to have failed marriage" whispered Atika in my ear.

"Huh? How can?" I was surprised, but not either. Because given the talk of Bu Managers and Mas Dwi's own recognition.

"Yes, he said his future wife was pregnant with another man."

"Certainly? How can you be found out?" manya curious. Atika shrugged both of her shoulders.

"Eitherway. I don't know that business either. Poor thing, handsome man Mr. Dwi is still also hurt," said Atika.

"So you think only the ugly can get hurt?" ask me while frowning.

"Ehh! It's not. That is, Mr. Dwi was lacking until he was still hurt like that."

"Hmm .. would be as perfect as anyone, if basically his partner is not loyal, how would you?" my answer. "We're just spectators, there's no need to go that far as meddling in other people's business" I added.

"Hah, indeed this Lenaku is very wise," said Atika who then pinched my cheek.

"Hey! You think I'm a kid? Play pinch as you please."

"I'm tired. You're younger than me but your thinking is very mature."

"That's why I can't call you with the frills of a 'take' or a 'sister'?"

"Yep!" answer's sure.

"Heu! Makes me look older."

"Not old, but grown up."

"Ah, as you please," I said no matter.

"Hey Lena, Tika! Join here!" The voice of Mas Dika welcomed us who had just entered the cafeteria door. There are only Dika, Reyna, Tasya, Mas Adi and Mas Bobi.

"Where are the others?" ask Atika. We sat on a bench that was available at the same table.

"Maybe next," replied Mas Dika while biting the newly taken bakwan.

"Where's Mr Dwi?" ask Tasya later. I was busy reading the menu. "Lena, where's Mr Dwi?" Tasya repeated the question.

"Huh? You ask me?" I turned my eyes towards Tasya.

"Yes," Tasya replied confidently.

"Don't know, why ask me?" I don't understand, even I'm not in the room with Mas Dwi, how can I know. The others looked down as if they did not want to interfere. Except Atika and Tasya.

"The office also knows that you are close to Mr. Dwi," explained Tasya.

"Huh? Where else is the rumor?" I looked straight at Atika.

"Eh? Don't accuse me! I don't know anything."

"What's so cool talking about?" ask Mas Dwi who just came. We all looked at the source of the sound. "Loh, Lena's the same Tika didn't eat?" he asked after looking in front of the two of us there was no food.

"Ah, we also just came," replied Atika.

"Then, let's order together!" bring Mas Dwi.

"Byeah" replied Atika who then immediately stood up.

"Lena don't want any messages?" ask Mas Dwi who slightly surprised me.

"Ah, yes." I got out of my chair and ordered food with them.

During the meal, my brain kept spinning. How could they possibly think that I was close to Mas Dwi? Since then, Mas Dwi never drove me home again. In the office, we chat because of work needs.

"Why do you think Tasya can say that?" I asked Atika. Now I'm in his room waiting for the hour to come home. It just so happens that my job is done.

"Maybe after the incident you were sick at that time" replied Atika who had just closed her worksheet.

"Then?"

"Eitherway. I don't know either. I think it's only natural that Mr. Dwi drove you because I happened to meet him in the kitchen when I took the medicine."

"Yes, yes it is," I replied confirming.

"What's wrong?"

"Why is Mr Dwi a bicycle? He borrowed my car. Shouldn't he have asked me to drive you instead of him borrowing my car?"

"Hm? Where is his fault?" I'm still not understanding.

"He wants to make sure you're safe until the goal. He's worried about you. A sign that he likes you" Atika explained her prediction. Then he was silent and surprised. "Yah!! Aye right! Mr. Dwi likes you, Lena!" he said with passion.

"Hey! Whatan, anyway? You're starting to get gossip." I still can't believe it because after that day there was no development even though Mas Dwi said he wanted to get closer to me.

"This is not a rumor! It's predicament. Did something happen after that day?" tanyanya. I shook my head because there was nothing.

We both walked out of the room and I don't think I've got an answer to my anxiety. Yes already. After all just gossip, it will subside on its own if there is no evidence.

Ting! My message notification reads. Message from Irvan.

Irvan : Lena Afternoon. I'm near your house, again. Wanna meet? Drink coffee or buy a snack.

I have not met and communicated with him for a long time, it might not hurt to fulfill his invitation.

Alena: I just got out of the office. Where do you wanna meet?

Irvan: Wherever you are, decide the place. Send me the location!

Alena: Okay. My cafe, huh?

Irvan: I can, I'll go with you.

I drive my car to the cafe I used to go to when I was just sitting. Five minutes later Irvan arrived.

"Hurry up" I said as he was just sitting.

"Yes, it just so happens to be close from here."

"Have message?"

"Ah, that was it."

"Emm." I'm nodding. "What's the business of getting here?"

"Meeting suppliers for cooperative goods."

"Ah, so." Then I drank my tea a little. Irvan's order is coming, a glass of americano.

"Is your day better?" tanyanya.

"of course. I'm glad many office friends care about me. Well, at least in the office I can be fresher without thinking about problems at home."

"I'm so happy then."

"Lena?" Someone said my name. He stood next to our table.

"Who? Mr Dwi?" I wonder, how did you meet here?

"Mas Dwi?" said Irvan who seemed to repeat my question and make me more astonished.

"You know each other?" my many.

"Oh? Irvans? It's been a long time since I met you" said Mas Dwi and then they both shook hands. I bengong.

"Mas Dwi is my sister in college first." Irvan explained

"Yes, we met several times in the same committee," added Mas Dwi.

"Aahh .. so." Finally answered my question. Very narrow in this world.

"Let's join, Mas. Len, you don't mind if Mas Dwi joins us?" ask Irvan.

"Sir papa. Please," I replied. Then Mas Dwi sat next to me.

"If you guys, how do you know each other?" ask Irvan.

"We are one office" replied Mas Dwi.

"Ah so. Oh yeah, is it the same with Layla?" ask Irvan. Who's Layla?

"Still strong your memory," said Mas Dwi. "I've been separated from him for a long time" replied Mas Dwi again. Is it possible that Layla is the ex-wife who Atika talked about earlier?

"Oh, sorry," replied Irvan.

"It's ok. It's natural you ask that. After all, our prewedding photos have been spread, but it failed." Mas Dwi ended his speech with a bitter smile.

"Ngg .. sorry, Mas. Is the woman I mean the same as the candidate who was said to be Miss Manager?" ask me carefully. Mas Dwi nodded and smiled.

"Then what do you have in relationship? The courtship?" Mas Dwi switched the conversation.

"Eh! No really. We're not dating" I said quickly. Irvan laughs.

"We're just friends, Mom. It just so happened that our parents knew each other" Irvan replied.

"Oh, betrothed?" ask Dwi again.

"What a fuck! Gini day is still a match-making," I replied evasively.

"Yes perhaps" replied Mas Dwi.

"Our relationship is not what Mas thought it was," Irvan added, ending with a smile.

"Ah, thank goodness. There is still a way," said Mas Dwi.

"Road? What street?" many confused. I still don't understand.

"Please Mas, I will not be hindered," replied Irvan in response to Mas Dwi's speech. Then Dwi smiled at me. Eh? Whatdoes thatmean?

I felt like a fool sitting between these two men. None of them wanted to explain what this meant. So sucks.
