Behind the Rain and Memories

7. Sudden spirit

After the incident went off the lights the other day, Max's attitude remained as usual, not changing at all. The title of iceberg still deserves to be pinned on him. Even Max would only talk about work with Alina. Beyond that, never expect there to be interaction between them.

Like today, Max asked the girl to join him in a meeting with a new client, because the project will be designed by Alina herself, automatically she will have to make a presentation. In the midst of his busy work preparing documents to be brought, Alina was disturbed by the arrival of Mahira.

" Come uninvited, go home untransferred," sizzled Tasya in a soft voice.

" Corn donk," timpal Gladys chuckled.

Alina shook her head at the whispers of her companion. It is common knowledge that Mahira's presence was never expected in this large company. In addition to his arrogant attitude, his excessive appearance makes people, especially women, feel good about seeing him.

Mahira stepped in with a posture that was arranged in such a way, the way made-up like a supermodel even though the reality was inversely proportional. High size Mahira is the same as most Indonesian women in general with a body that is quite contained, hernya the girl even likes to wear a tight dress that shows the curves of the body. As he now wears the strech canal above the knee is red with a V-neck neck that shows the hemisphere of his personal assets.

Before Max's arm, Mahira had a glance at Alina, her face was flat without expression, maybe she was offended by Alina's attitude at that time, but Alina was a fool even though Mahira was a relative of Mr. Leo more precisely a sister-in-law. He doesn't care.

It was not without reason that Alina hated Mahira so much. The girl who first provoked the flames of hostility. It is still clear Alina's memory, the incident two years ago. At that time Mr. Leo was holding a party at the end of the year with the staff and also the company executives in Bali. As well as Alina who was invited by Mr. Leo, Mahira who studied abroad was also present because he was filling a vacation in Indonesia.

The event took place festively with music and drinks typical of the party. All dissolved in the atmosphere. Without anyone realizing Mahira who from the beginning always seek attention from Bryan is planning something.

While Alina was going to the toilet, Mahira approached Bryan and asked him toast with a drink he brought. Mahira managed to trick Bryan to taste the contents of the glass, without suspecting Bryan drank a drink that was laced with drugs.

As soon as Bryan starts to go unconscious, Mahira asks some of his men to take the man out of the party area. Luckily Tasya saw. He hurried to tell Alina. Not wanting anything to happen with Bryan, Alina asks Mr. Leo for help. They hunted towards the cottage mentioned by the receptionist of course after being forced to tell.

Alina really can't believe Mahira has planned out carefully, the girl takes Bryan to a hidden cottage, it's quite time consuming for them to arrive there even though it's still the same location.

Upon arriving they immediately entered with the help of a spare key, Alina was shocked as soon as the door opened, as well as Mr. Leo and Diana's mother, his wife Mr. Leo who was none other than Mahira's older brother.

Instantly Alina was disgusted to see Mahira's position was above Bryan who was still asleep. The girl's body was clad in underwear. It was fortunate that they had arrived on time, otherwise Alina could not imagine what happened next.

Mr. Leo was angry, he slapped the girl several times, Diana's mother only spoke a thousand languages. Shame to see his sister's behavior.

On behalf of the family, Mr. Leo and Ms. Diana apologized to Bryan and Alina. To keep the good name of the company they agreed to keep the incident a secret.

Since then Mahira tries to be friendly whenever she meets Alina, but Alina never hugs her.

Alina sighed repeatedly, considering that the old memory was indeed very painful, Bryan was gone but still he could not erase it from memory.

" Alina, are you ready?" said Max who had not since when was standing near his desk.

" Eh, oh, you're ready, sir" Alina replied, holding her map.

" What are you waiting for, then I wait for you," said Max ketus, his eyes reflected emotion.

" I think you have a guest" Alina reasoned, she turned her eyes to the figure standing near the door with a manyun face.

" If I say going to a meeting means I don't accept guests, for me nothing is more important than work, remember that well" Max said in a high tone, Alina was not angry with Max's attitude, instead she was happy because the man was not directly rejected the presence of Mahira.

" Good sir," he pretended to understand. Alina noticed the look on the face of her friends, even though they were silent, Alina was sure in their hearts they were cheering for joy, rasain you are Mahira, it was delicious to be asked.

Max stepped out of the room without caring about Mahira who was still fixated. Alina took one thousand steps with the blink of an eye from Tasya.

People say that if the mood is good, then the aura will be radiated as well as Alina felt, since their departure from the office she felt very happy and plong as if there was no burden, not even a smile can be separated from her beautiful face.

The presentation went well and the client was amazed by their performance, cooperation was so easy.

" You're so excited today" Max said as they headed back to the office.

Did ya? every day I was always excited, a new father realized," replied Alina spread her shoulders.

" Oh yeah?I'm sorry I didn't pay attention" Max said.

Alina understood, where maybe a Maxime attention on others. Talking like this, he was lucky enough.

ciiittttt

Alina felt her body stagger forward, suddenly she closed her eyes.

" I'm sorry sir, someone arrived to cross," said the driver explained what happened.

Slowly Alina opened her eyes again when she felt something afflicted, Max's hand blocked her head so as not to hit the chair in front. It makes no sense when risky like that Max still had time to think of someone else next to him.

Alina re-enforced her body, while Max also pulled her hand. It seems Max also realized that his actions just now must have raised questions.

" Mr and Mister Alina are not pa-pa, right? ask the driver to make sure.

" We're good, who's cross what?" Max asked back.

" Have run away, sir, "

" Yes, now the road again" Max said, who was quickly taken by the driver.

An awkwardness was created between the two people. Alina was still confused by Max's actions earlier. Even he had never experienced such treatment before including with Bryan. If there are unexpected incidents Bryan always asks the situation after the incident passed, but Max?

Akh, Alina shook her head trying to shake off her comparing thoughts, Bryan is everything while Max is just the person she just met. Perhaps the man had special attention on her. What happened just now is just a coincidence or it could be that Max is always so the same everyone around him.

" I'm sorry that that was reflex, I had a childhood trauma. At that time I was walking with my parents then there was the same incident as earlier, unfortunately I even crashed in front of me, I hit the dashboard . There was a lump as big as an egg. The pain was not much, but the lump was a long loss and for a week I was forced to resign to be mocked by school friends," explained Max at length, there was a faint smile on his face telling the story.

Alina smiled, but in her heart she cursed herself "no Al, I told her also what reflexes yes, R-E-F-L-E-K, anyways noticing the iceberg,"
