ALINEA LOVE

37

Since last night, Sora has been preoccupied with all his arguments. Arguing with yourself and making various conclusions. Room chat application whatsapp between him and Almeer repeatedly he open the lid, has been countless times. Short and long messages repeatedly he type but none of them he sent because word for word he always delete.

Although not sleeping all night, did not make Sora lazy to go to the store owned by his mother. During the trip with Aga also he was not in the mood to reply to Aga's conversation. Aga's persuasion did not make Sora express what he was thinking.

Although his heart was filled with uncertainty, he tried to turn his attention to the work there. Whatever he did, even helping the production team just to make souvenir books.

"Sora, yuk. Adhan tuh..," Mia reminded Sora.

"Yes, Aunt." Sora handed over the results of his work to one of the employees responsible for the work.

He went to a room that was deliberately used for the prayer place of the employees there. He took ablution and congregational prayers with several employees.

After the prayer, Sora asked Mia for permission to go out of the office. He wants to find out something.

An online taxi drove Sora somewhere. One of the two-story shophouses located in the campus area became his goal. He did not come down and just silently looked at the shophouse from the car.

"StudiOne" Sora read the signboard attached to the second floor of the shophouse.

"Mbak..," Call the taxi driver online.

Sora took out several hundred thousand bills and gave them to the drivers. "Sir, I'll hire you in the next hour. Follow that guy, sir." He pointed to the new Almeer riding on his bike.

After Almeer drove his motorcycle out onto the highway, the car Sora was riding on immediately followed him. Luckily Almeer drove the motorbike casually so that online taxi drivers were not too afraid to lose track.

Almeer began to slow down his motor when approaching the building that has light green paint. He entered the parking lot that was not too wide. The driver stopped his car at the entrance of the building.

"General centers? Why'd he come here?" Sora Mumbles.

Not thinking for long, Sora took the bag that he had just placed next to him, "Sir, I don't have to wait. You can continue working, thanks." Sora then got out of the car.

He settles down and hides behind the entrance wall, making sure Almeer has entered the building.

From the outside he could see Almeer was going up to the second floor, he rushed into the building and slowly walked up the stairs. He was surprised to see Almeer still standing in the registration locker of members lined up a few meters from the end of the second floor stairs.

Sora waited in the middle of the stairs and occasionally peeked at whether the man was done. It was not until ten minutes that Sora found Almeer had entered the library. Sora immediately approached the registration counter.

"What members are new?" ask officer.

"New, Mom." Answer Sora.

"Can borrow original KTP or KTM." Pinta.

Sora reached into his bag to grab his wallet and took out his identification, "This. Ma." He handed it to the officer.

"Filled with a list of attendances yes," the officer pointed to a ledger in front of Sora.

"Good."

Sora fills in the self data in the present list book. He smiled and touched Sagara Almeer's name there. The writing is very neat, his mind then continues to write his data.

"This is the ID card, later before going home take a member card here." The officer said while returning Sora's identification.

"Good, Mom." He placed the new bulpoint he used to write and then took his identification, "I can go in?" ask Sora.

"Yes, please." Sora.

Sora headed towards the glass door, and opened it slowly. The room with the distinctive smell of books smelled there. Sora covered part of his face with his bag to make it invisible to Almeer, because he currently does not know where Almeer is.

Aisle after passage Sora passed by, looking around for where the man was. Sora recalled, maybe the art books aisle because Almeer was in the field. Through the signboard Sora find out where the art books are located and immediately follow the direction of the instructions.

Aisle by aisle he passed but did not find Almeer there. He tried to be patient and went back around the small room, peeking at one by one people who were reading books in the reading room but did not meet.

When he was on the edge of his despair, he finally could meet Almeer on one of the bookshelves of business economics. Sora quickly took some distance, he went to the passageway earlier. At first he picked up the book while stalking Almeer from the sidelines of the book line. He ceaselessly smiled his smile, his eyes constantly clinging to the white-shirted man.

Almeer is seen carrying several five stacks of books to one of the tables in the reading room, there are several tables with a length of about a meter and a bench that surrounds the tables. Almeer took the empty spot near the window. Of course Sora followed him, he took a seat at the same table as Almeer. But he did not forget to keep his distance. He chose to sit at the end of the table.

One book he took was opened, he lowered his head pretending to read it when he stole a glance more often towards Almeer. The man seemed to be concentrating on his reading. Making Sora continuously widen her smile.

"Ih..," Sora complained as someone in his line read the book by lifting it up, making Sora's view on Almeer limited. "He read what newspaper he was!" Sora Mumbles.

finally he folded his hands on the table and made a pillow for his head. This way he's more comfortable looking at Almeer.

The cloudy weather out there and the cool wind that swirled from the fan above made Sora a little sleepy. Little, little and finally he entered into his dreamland.

Trrt trrrt trrt

The sound of mobile phone vibration from inside Sora's bag forced her to open her eyes. He raised his head slightly dizzy from being forcefully awakened by the vibration of his cell phone. The situation around him was not as crowded as before, especially the man sitting on the edge of the window was no longer there. He complained to himself, how could he fall asleep at a time like this.

Sora picks up his phone that is still shaking, Aga's name appears there. He took his bag and went out of the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, why Ga?" ask Sora.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, where are you? why isn't it in the store?" Again asked.

"In the public library." Answer Sora.

"Wait there, I'll pick you up."

Tut tut tut's...

Phone connection disconnected. Sora just flicked her lips at the screen of her phone. He went to the registration booth to pick up the member card. After that he went to the first floor.

The cold city is getting colder because it is raining, Sora stands on the terrace of the building with several other people while waiting for the arrival of Aga. Heavy rain mixed with wind, making the people who shelter in the building back a few steps so as not to be exposed to rain water.

Just as Sora rubbed his arm to throw off the coldness, suddenly there was someone wearing a jacket on his shoulder. Of course it made him surprised and looked at who the person who did it was.

"Haaa... Hmmm!!" Sora immediately closed his gaping mouth to see the man he had been tailing beside him.

"St!!" Almeer placed one of her index fingers on her lips, then she smiled at Sora. "Capek to sleep?" tanyakanya.

"Kok you know?"

Almeer smiled, "At first I don't know, but because the people next to him were noisily talking about the beautiful girl who was sleeping, so be distracted."

Sora blushed in embarrassment.

"Other times be careful, Ra. If you are alone, do not let your guard down. Not everyone is good, only good if there is a chance can be nosy."

Sora nodded. "I'm so sleepy, maybe because I didn't sleep last night."

"Why?"

"Mmmm..," Sora glanced in the other direction to draw an answer, "What's wrong, can't sleep." he continued later.

Almeer looked suspiciously.

"Yes, Al. Actually, maybe because it's in a new environment again so adapt." Sora replied lying.

"You're not good at lying, Sora. But I won't force you."

Sora raised a small smile.

"Papa told me to. At first I didn't want to, but after I got here it turns out you're here too." Sora chuckled and blushed in embarrassment.

Almeer's face turned astonished, "So this isn't the first one you've seen me?" ask Almeer.

Sora raised the four fingers of his left hand, "This is the fourth..," he said with a big smile and showed his teeth.

Almeer laughed understandably, "Yes, that was Kianga Sora once." Almerr's forehead frowned as he glanced at Sora's plastered index finger. "Why is that?" point it out without touching Sora's fingers.

"Hehe..," Sora grinned and lowered his hand, "Because of the knife, yesterday I learned to cook."

Almeer smiled again and let out a small sigh, "Don't be too perfect, later I can add a lot of rivals I made to you."

Sora held back her smile so as not to be too wide when she heard Almeer's joke.

"Don't push too hard, just slow down, Ra. I don't want you to hurt you physically or psychically."

Sora nodded, his smile still remained wide expanding on his lips. "I'm afraid you're disappointed when you marry me later,"

"God willing, Ra. I may be disappointed in what God has given me. If it is you, it means that you are the best according to God to be with me."

Now Sora could no longer hold back the excitement, "Udah, Al. Don't muddle me on. Shame...,"

"I'm Andre Taulany, the king of zombies." Almeer laughed. He saw the rain that had not yet stopped.

"Who are you picking up?" ask Almeer.

"Emb...," Sora thought for a moment, "Room...." Answer then.

Almeer was silent, neither smiling nor showing anger. Sora becomes misbehaved, afraid to make Almeer jealous or angry.

"I can call her again so she doesn't have to come here." Sora reached into her bag to retrieve the phone.

"No, Ra." Prevent Almeer gently.

Now it was Sora's turn to be silent and dumbfounded, "But you—"

Almeer shook his head to slash Sora's sentence, "I don't have the right to forbid you from going with anyone, Ra. The most important thing is to take care of yourself, okay?" Almeer returned to smile.

"But I'm ready to go to you if you just tell me not to go with Aga." Said Sora.

"I want to do it, Sora. But still can't.., I can't exceed my limits."

Sora nodded his head.

"I can't see you too often, Ra. I don't want your papa to misunderstand...,"

"Yes, Al. I know, mama also said that to me."

"Well, everything I'm gonna do is get the most out of it, Ra." pinta Almeer.

"Sora..."

Not yet Sora answered Almeer's request, Aga had suddenly appeared in front of them with an umbrella protecting him from the rain.

Aga went up to the terrace of the building, put the umbrella he carried on the floor then approached Sora and Almeer. "It turns out you met so soon." Aga.

Sora glanced lazily at Aga.

"You better get home, Ra." Almeer.

Sora nodded, "Yes, Al. I go first.., Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Sora."

"You didn't return this jacket to him?" ask Aga to Sora.

"Ah, yes." Sora remembered.

"You can wear it first, Sora." Prevent Almeer.

Sora smiled and nodded, he waved his hand then walked over to Aga who had already opened an umbrella for him. They both walked under the same umbrella, splitting the raindrop that fell quite profusely.

Almeer smiled flatly at that, Let me be able to justify it immediately, O Allah...,

***

The car driven by Aga was stuck in traffic because there were fallen trees that closed the road. Sora doesn't talk much and just plays his phone to get rid of boredom.

krruuuuuccck krruuuuuccck krruuuuck

The voice from Sora's stomach stole Aga's attention, the man looked at Sora who was rubbing his stomach.

"You haven't eaten yet?" ask Aga.

Sora nodded, "I fell asleep in the library earlier."

"Good, Sora! Why be careless, anyway? If someone has no real intention? Mita same Aura doesn't exist, I can't take care of you twenty-four hours either."

"But there was Almeer." Sora replied briefly, making Aga speechless.

"Here you are, don't let me talk. I sleepy, laper, lemes so..," complained Sora, he slightly lowered the back of his car seat to make his body comfortable.

Aga looked at Sora fretfully, "You better not get too close to Almeer as long as he tries to complete the requirements of Sky sir, Ra."

Sora stared lazily at Aga. "Say if you want to get me, then you deliberately stay away from me, right?"

Aga sighed, "I don't know what the Sky sir is planning to do until it sends you here as well. What I'm afraid is that he sent you here to break Almeer's concentration on his work, put him off guard and end up failing."

Sora held up his seat and looked at Aga fixedly, "You think about my situation and Almeer's, Ga?" ask Sora.

"Sure,"

"Wooaaaah, I thought you were competing with Almeer to get me."

"I really want to get you. But, that doesn't mean I have to drop it to get you." Aga.
