Behind the Rain and Memories

63. Lunch together

Max kissed Alina's forehead deeply, turning on the girl's two cheeks.

" I miss u so much "His scales are shrivelled near Alina's ears. Had it not been in a mourning mood, Max would have escaped Alina from here.

" Miss u too "reply Alina.

Max got in the car before he lost his mind. Being close to Alina always made her unable to resist touching. As if having a magnet, Alina manages to make Max crazy. The man liked everything in Alina, her natural beauty and good personality. What a perfect blend.

Max waved at the girl who was still fixated on staring at him with a teary look.

Max codes a kiss with his hand making Alina smile although faint, then the man drove the vehicle slowly following his family who was already saying goodbye first. Leaving Alina in silence.

The girl closed the gate and sat down among one of the seats still lined up in the courtyard. Alina took a heavy breath, not a day with her mother, her heart was empty. Unknowingly the clear circles escaped from both eyes, changing with a whimper and all that did not escape the sight of Aditya from behind the window of the room, his heart slipped to see his sister, he was about to approach, but it was prevented by Sherly.

" Give him time for himself, let him release all the burdens that are pressing on his heart, I am sure, tomorrow he will rise as he was, "

Aditya nodded in understanding.

In the morning Alina was surprised by the mobile banking notification from her phone and was flabbergasted when she saw the transaction entered into her account. A sum of money with the number one followed by nine zeros digits behind it.

Alina hesitates what she sees, the girl exits the app and repeats from the beginning. The result remains the same. Whether there may be people who are wrongly transferred or indeed the system is in error, two possibilities can happen given the news some time ago about the negligence of customers and even bank officers.

Before long Max called, then Alina thought of a third possibility. Last night the girl was willing to borrow money from Max to overcome Aditya's problems, but her lips suddenly turned upside down. He had already troubled the man he loved too much. And then shut down his intentions.

" Good morning baby, "greet Max with a still heavy voice. It looks like he just woke up, though,.

" Dear morning, you just woke up? " ask Alina wonder. It's seven in the morning, and Max is still in bed.

" Yes baby, I will go to the office in an hour, until I meet you later at home, yes, "he said enthusiastically. Can't wait to see Alina back, if only her job could be left for a while, she'll make sure she won't enter the office. Utami had scheduled a meeting that had been delayed because he was stuck in Switzerland yesterday. Max could not refuse, because the client urged a meeting to discuss some mega projects that have been dealt with.

Alina nodded despite knowing Max could not see her. Last night Max's parents invited them to lunch together at the mansion.

" Max, someone just transferred to my account, but I don't know from whom, it looks like I have to go to the bank to make sure, afraid there is a mistake," Alina said.

" Solve business with Mr. Brandon this morning yes, the rest for your needs, later in the afternoon the driver will pick you up, I love u, bye, "Max closes the call without giving Alina a chance to talk again.

Akh Max, again and again you are always the savior in our lives, the inner girl should be.

Waitaminute! How Max knew about Mr. Brandon, he didn't even tell me anything about Aditya.

" Sister, can call Mr. Brandon, ask if the money will be transferred or cash, " said Alina when they had breakfast together.

Aditya frowned, though,

" Have you got the money Al? " ask the man in wonder

The girl nodded her head while bribing Audrey's fried rice. This morning he felt weak, last night he only ate a little while Max was already in the spirit of feeding.

" Where did you get that kind of money? " ask Aditya again.

" Don't tell Max, "guess Audrey suddenly fell at the table after she finished feeding her children.

" Yes, from Max.. "

Aditya exhaled, of course, who else could give a large nominal without hesitation except for his sister-in-law.

" You shouldn't have told Max Al this matter, however Max would be the son-in-law in this house, brother Shy Al, if only they had helped us a lot, "

"I didn't ask Max for help? "

" I also don't understand why Max knows we're having business with Mr. Brandon, I guess the brother told me, "

Aditya shook his head, where maybe he immediately talked about his problem under these circumstances.

"Now that we have no choice, Mr. Brandon needs the money immediately, we will think about the next step later that is important this business is finished first, "

Aditya no longer refuted.

" Let's see, Al, you have a home certificate and a vehicle letter, leave it to Max as collateral, we receive this money as a loan, how about you? " Sherly gave her advice, she understood very well that her husband was being kind to Max.

" So, I agree, the files will be taken when we get there, "

Alina wasn't sure Max would accept this deal, but she would try to make her brother happy.

After breakfast, they and their families visit again to the tomb of the mother, rather than yesterday, today they seem more rigid even though the aura of sadness is still visible.

Alina did not think that Bryan and Adinda would be in the lunch. To be honest the girl was still awkward to meet in person. Especially by the recent incident, where Bryan showed an attitude that Alina did not think was appropriate to do someone who was already a husband. Even if the goal is just to apologize. What has happened can no longer be repaired.

During the dinner, Bryan tries to steal a glance at Alina, while beside her Adinda keeps her eyes on her husband. Tucked into jealousy because until this moment he was never in Bryan's heart.

Max realizes the strange behavior from Bryan, he gets information that Bryan was the one who brought Ranti's mother to the hospital at that time. The question mark for Max is what purpose Bryan is in Alina's house.

" Dear, eat a lot yes, you look thinner, I don't want you to get sick" said Max rubbing Alina's cheek gently.

Alina is clumsy with Max's attention, because now all eyes are focused on her.

" Yes son, Max is right, or do you want mommy to do something? " ask Widyawati.

" No aunt, this is more than enough, thank you tan, " said Alina shyly.

" Kok still call aunty anyway dear, call mommy aja like other mommy children, " protest Widyawati with call Alina to him.

" Yes tan, uh mommy, "

After lunch, the friendship still continued in the middle room of the mansion. Max has to go back to the office and he takes Alina with him. After asking his family for permission.

" I've ordered a snack, will soon be delivered here, if you want to drink take in the mini bar, baby, I'm not long, at least half an hour is finished, no papa right? " say Max softly. Alina nodded, the man peeked at Alina's forehead, regardless of Utami putting together some files on Max's desk.

Utami was amazed, with Alina, Max became a different figure. His speech is long and his intonation is very gentle. Usually the man always put on a cold look and also indifferent.

Max still had to do one more meeting, he was already stricken with laziness because he wanted to spend time with his lover. For the sake of professionalism he had to put aside his personal affairs.

It turned out that the meeting took longer, an hour later Max just returned to the room. He felt guilty for making Alina wait. The girl fell asleep with her head leaning against Max's work chair.

Max lowered his body, pecking at the girl's lips at a glance, Alina was not bothered at all. Max smiled, Alina seemed to be very sleepy. Max caught a clear grain that had not dried at the corner of the girl's eye. Even in her sleep, Alina cried. Max understands that Alina is very lost.

Max rubbed the tears, then carried Alina and brought her into the private room in this workspace. Slowly she laid Alina on the bed, then she opened her suit and tie, rolled up her shirt arm to her elbow and went to lie next to the girl, holding Alina in her arms. Soon Max flew into the dream world.
