Behind the Rain and Memories

Gladys stepped gontai on the sidewalk. Max's shadow embraces Alina affectionately making the girl realize, that her love is clapping one hand.

The love that he has been nurturing for some time in the hope that one day he will dedicate to the pujaan heart extinct without having time to convey.

Who would have thought that the cold known Max was anchoring the taste to his own best friend, Alina Maharani.

When he got word from the chat group about the closeness of Alina and Max, he was disappointed and angry. He feels cheated but after he muses again why he should be angry because Alina herself does not know about her feelings for Max. He felt guilty for following the antagonism of Alina earlier.

All this time Gladys hid her true feelings, she pretended to only admire the man's good looks. It's not the physicality that made her fall in love with Max. Long before Max got into Mega Buana he had already put his heart, a love that grew in silence.

Gladys still vividly remembered the day the feeling began.

" Are you sure of this decision?" tanya Dita made sure.

Gladys played the end of the dress she wore in a restless motion, she had no other choice. He had already received compensation for this decision, There was nothing else to do but accept his fate.

Her youngest sister, eleven-year-old Namira, suffers from early-stage leukemia and she has to have spinal cord transplant surgery. Even though they already have donors who are none other than their siblings they are faced with cost constraints. Gladys is not a wealthy family, his father has long died, his mother replaces the role of father as a hodgepodge seller, while the brother is only an honorary teacher whose salary is fitting. Gladys himself had no savings at all, his salary money he always deposited with his mother for the routine needs of Namira's medicines.

Namira is the light in her family, and they don't want to lose the little girl. In the midst of despair, she remembered Dita her best friend when she was in High School, she tried to borrow money, but unfortunately Dita did not have the nominal she needed. One hundred and fifty million is not a small number.

Dita brought her to someone who could help her. And here he is now, in a nightclub, for Namira's sake he's willing to take off something valuable.

"Do I have a choice?" ambiguity question.

Dita felt sorry, actually she did not want to plunge her best friend, but she herself could not help. Although it looks glamorous, Dita's life is not as perfect as people think. She's just a comfort woman.

"At first I was also nervous, after that get used to and even addicted, only here the work can be money, can be delicious," said Dita chuckled, trying to make Gladys relaxed. But it seemed futile, Gladys sweet face remained shrouded in cloudy clouds.

It was not long before a middle-aged man came to them.

They talk stale for a moment, then the man takes them out of the club and leaves for the place where the real guests are waiting.

They entered a luxurious apartment. There's a party going on, no matter what. The atmosphere was no different from the club last night. The smell of alcohol and cigarettes pierced the nose, coupled with the thumping of deafening music.

Gladys was frightened as someone approached with a smirk smile and a lustful gaze. He tapped Dita's arm tightly.

" He's Zacky, who booked you tonight, not so bad, isn't he" whispered Dita teasing Gladys.

Gladys did not reply, he tried to neutralize the anxiety that made his chest feel tight. Dita and Zacky get into a conversation, and Dita leaves and joins Zaky's friends to party. His body was winding in rhythm, the girl even laughed as some of the men began to wander around.

"We are from now on dear," said Zaky stroking Gladys' smooth cheeks, The girl shuddered in horror as Zaky's lips pressed against her cheeks, a clear feather dripping from Gladys' eyes but the man did not care, he pulled the girl's hand and took her to one of the rooms.

The shadow of loved ones flashed in Gladys's mind, he felt guilty for selling his pride, suddenly his late father's face flashed and stared sadly.

Gladys realized, he could not commit this great sin, with all his might pushing Zaky's body that was about to oppress him. He kicked Zaky's precious object violently making the man howl in pain.

The girl continued to run along the hallway of the apartment and accidentally hit someone.

One of them is Maxime Arlingga Yogatama. If it wasn't for Max, he probably wouldn't have survived. As a result, Zaky paid the money first, and Gladys used the money for his sister's operation.

Zaky wants to take Gladys off the money back, and Max unhesitatingly issues a check to get Zaky's money back.

Gladys is very grateful to Max, he promises to pay with an instalment, but Max refuses.

"Go home and meet your family, never get involved with a problem like this, no matter how much your life problems never take a wrong step." advises Max before they split.

From then on love blossomed in Gladys heart until a few months ago she was reunited with Max in Mega Buana.

People say, what is the meaning of a name, the fact that the name is identity and in the name tucked into the prayers and hopes of parents for their children.

" Dad said, Alina is a name that has many meanings of goodness, one of which in Arabic means precious, while Maharani is taken from the Sanskrit language which means queen above all queens, in other words, Alina Maharani is a precious queen" said Alina with a smile

" Beautiful name" muttered Max.

" The father's name must mean something too, right? let me guess the meaning of one of them," Alina made an expression as if thinking made Max could not bear to smile.

" I'll take it, if you can guess it," challenge Max later.

" Seriously?but there's only one word I know, your father's name is three syllables,"

" No problem, as long as you don't search the internet," Max said.

Alina gave a thumbs up sign in agreement.

" Maxime means great, don't I?" Alina raised her eyebrows confidently.

Max frowned "How do you know? Or you've been looking for info before,"

Alina shook her head "Big no, meaning my guess right?" repeat the girl again.

" Maxime means great, Arlingga implies responsibility and Yogatama means free"

" Maxime Arlingga Yogatama means a great and responsible free figure" Alina tries to string together the overall meaning.

"Great," said Max smiling.

"Yess, when will you buy me?" the girl's cheer was overjoyed. At first glance seeing no one knew that Alina had fainted, her pale face had brightened again.

" As much as you can, right now,"

Alina cradled while glancing at the watch at her auction "Later sir, we find the right time, if now the night will return sir," said Alina reasoned.

Besides, there's another reason he brought Max here.

Realizing that there was something she wanted to know, Alina quashed her desire to go home soon. On the grounds of wanting to get some fresh air Alina took Max around the city and stopped in a green open space.

Alina let out a long sigh, trying to gather the courage to ask something related to her touch in Max's chest earlier.

The girl did not want to be big, she needed to make sure, whether the name that was painted on Max's chest had a relationship with him or not. Although it was the same, it could be that the name was not her.

Actually he was embarrassed to ask directly, rather than not sleeping all night because of the curious whack, Alina took a little risk.

" If I may know, why is the name listed there exactly the same as me,?" alina asked, pointing.

Max understood, the girl must be asking about the tattonya.

" You seem to want to know?" examine Max with narrowed eyes, his hands crossed in front of the chest. He admitted Alina's way of opening the conversation was impressive, even the nervousness that had struck the two of them just vanished.

" If you object, don't answer, just forget the question just now, I just feel funny, my name turns out to be the market as well" Kekeh Alina.

Max looked at Alina carefully, but the girl turned her eyes to the night sky. The mood turns to awward.

"One day I'm going to tell you the same story, but not now" Max broke up

Alina let out a disappointed sigh, dashed was her hope for a good night's sleep. It is not impossible to spread the next night.

" What a hard thing sir, say it's my name" Alina snorted inwardly.

But it's not Maxime's name if he's not stubborn.
