Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

23

Ting! One message came into my phone. The notification is quite foreign. I saw on the notification page, it was a message from my mobile banking application. Seen there the incoming money of five million rupiah. After I checked who the sender was, it was Robi.

'My cats are linked. What money is this? What's the purpose of sending me money?'

"Hi, Len." The greeting of Mas Dwi surprised me. I hurriedly turned off the screen.

"Eh, hi sir," I replied, smiling.

"Yuk, eat!" bring him.

"Brothers sure? Gossip will also be."

"You need to eat, Len. Already, come!" kasu.

I also according. Although I looked down a lot to avoid the gazes of many people, Mas Dwi actually greeted all of them we met. I don't know what the plan is, which is for sure I don't want his good name tarnished because of this rumor about me.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked after we sat in one of the chairs in the cafeteria.

"I don't know, sir." At a time like this, I had absolutely no appetite because many eyes were staring at me. That's why it's better to eat alone outside.

"Yes already." Then Mas Dwi stood up and went to one of the food vendors. I just kept quiet, but I also thought about the money Robi sent me. Is that Mama who told you to?

"Think what, anyway?" ask Mas Dwi who just came back.

"It's nothing, sir."

"We're just the two of you, you can call 'mas'."

"No sir, this is still office space" I replied later.

"Well, okay, it's up to you. Oh yeah, you got any clothes for Irvan?"

"Good God I almost forgot!" I immediately covered my face with both palms.

"It's Wednesday, Saturday. Do we want to come to the reception or the meeting?" ask Dwi again.

"Any! How could I forget?" I still curse at myself.

"Hey, relax! There's still time" he said, holding my hand. Spontaneously pulled because considering this is still in the office environment. He just smiled.

"Maybe it's good to go there at the reception, sir. After all, the contract is usually only visited by the family," I replied later.

"Alright, I'm just following my future wife" he said, smiling. That easy he blurted out the word 'prospective wife'? While I who heard it felt like my heart immediately wanted to jump from its place.

There was someone who had just passed behind me immediately stopped for a moment, I had not had time to see that person had walked again.

"Who?" ask me about Mas Dwi.

"Reyna," replied Mas Dwi briefly, seen Mas Dwi was very dislike Reyna.

A few minutes later, the food came. Two servings of chicken soup with rice and iced tea.

"Let's eat!" bring Mas Dwi.

"Eh? But I didn't order" I replied.

"I ordered it. Come eat! I know you're hungry, but closed in on your troubled mind. Just imagine me, it'll make you feel better."

The blush! There's always a way Mas Dwi makes me flirt. This is not healthy for my heart.

"Let's eat! Don't let it run out!"

"i-iya. Thank you," I replied. I ate the soup slowly. We ate while chatting, it did not feel like suddenly the plate was empty.

"Well, gini dong. I'm glad to see it" he said with a smile.

I was a little embarrassed, but seeing his sincere smile my shame was replaced with flowers that came back. In the afternoon, after work, I went with Mas Dwi deliberately to the shopping center to look for clothes that should be worn to the condition.

"Have you never been to a show before?" asked Mas Dwi while sorting out the clothes in front of us.

"From now on don't be like that anymore, huh?" the door without looking at me.

"Eh?"

"I don't feel good right now, just slow down" he said, smiling.

Mas Dwi is indeed the type of person who is easy to get along with, he is friends with anyone. If I go with him, of course I have to adjust.

"It's beautiful" he said, taking a pink elbow-lined kebaya top with a touch of a small ribbon-shaped belt.

"Do I match the pink color?" many wonder. My clothes are almost nothing pink, too soft in my opinion, less suited to this stubborn me.

"It fits. You will be sweet, for sure if you wear this shirt will look sweeter," he said. I'm glad he praised me, but still it's a little weird if I wear it.

"What about red?" I proposed the same kebaya just a different color.

"Red?"

"Yes, later Mas also look for a red shirt or batik," I answered just like that. Mas Dwi's expression seemed to turn to shame. Did I speak wrong?

"Would you like to wear twin clothes with me?" tanyanya.

"I-iya, where's the fault?" I still don't understand. He just kept quiet with an expression I couldn't read.

"I'm a little embarrassed to take you in twin clothes, I guess you don't like things like that. You have a cute side too." Mas Dwi's words made me spontaneously aware.

"Ahh .. hehe .. i-yes, Mas." I finally agreed. I'm mistaken. I don't mean to ask to wear twins like a married couple, I just want to avoid the pink kebaya.

Finally we took the red kebaya for me and the red batik for the Dwi mas. My heart often churned when we were walking together, I was afraid my heart would run from its place.

"Mas, did I pay for dinner?" I asked because Mas Dwi forced me to pay for my clothes. Now we are standing on the escalator to the top floor, the mall that sells various kinds of food.

"Can you eat what?" ask without refusing. He knew I would not accept his gift for free.

"What do you like? How about fried rice?"

"Can."

After we got there, we ordered fried rice and sat on a bench next to a glass wall. So we could see the traffic also the view outside the mall at night. So romantic. Even with Robi I never got a moment like this.

..

Mas Dwi and I arrived at Irvan's wedding reception. His place was not in the village where he lived, but in a building not far from my village. Seeing the preparation, it did not seem at all that Irvan was not ready.

Ever since we arrived at the parking lot, Mas Dwi looked a little agitated. I think I understand, he might be thinking about his past. Before getting out of the car, I held Mas Dwi's hand and rubbed it slowly.

"Everything's gonna be okay, Mom. We'll shaman then go home. No need to linger," I said.

I want to try to calm him down. He set his breath once more and smiled at me. Release my hand, then rub my head gently.

"Thank you very much" he said, smiling again. I returned his smile too.

Seen such a happy expression from the faces of the two brides, as well as their parents. I was a little moved to see a complete parent present on the wedding day. That's something I can't get. I don't feel my tears dripping. Sontak Mas Dwi wiped my tears.

"Hey, what's up?" tanyakanya. Maybe he was confused, he was traumatized but why am I crying?

"No papa, Mas. I'm just happy to see them."

"You want to be like them soon?" asked Mas Dwi as if concluding what I felt.

"Eh? N-that's not what I mean."

Mas Dwi just smiled and took my hand. "I wait for your answer, then we will feel the happiness they feel today" Mas Dwi whispered in my ear.

The blush! It seems like Mas Dwi has monopolized my feelings. No matter how broken my heart is, when it speaks, it will be replaced with the flowers that return. I smiled at her face, and she smiled back at me. Is this how it feels 'the world belongs to both' as people say?
