Like yesterday, every Friday night, after work Aline will stay at Abah and Mommy's house, according to his promise to the family and also Hana's request, as well as the family's, because they both get a holiday at the restaurant every Saturday and usually the sweet girls will spend the day together, quality time he said.
Like today.
The plan is they both go to the bookstore in the mall. So you can wash your eyes. Hana will hunt for the latest novel of her favorite author, while Aline will usually hunt for best seller books.
After breakfast together, Abah, Mommy, Aline and Hana chat on the side terrace. This activity has become a family routine for Mr. Syahrial and Bu Nurhalimah to build intimacy among family members. Something Aline very rarely gets from her own biological family even though they always have breakfast together at every opportunity. Okay, forget those memories for a moment, just enjoy today. Aline looked up to hold back her tears. I don't know, lately he feels very melancholy when he remembers his family that he left in Batam. Maybe because of his longing, but the hardness of his papi heart becomes a wall of separation that makes him not free to spill his longing. Uhhh .... Aline took a breath. Then return to the world now.
Abah was feeding her beloved fish, while she, Mommy and Hana were busy sitting telling stories, joking, exchanging recipes and enjoying the coolness of the beautiful side garden and the warm morning sun.
The clock shows at 9:00. That means the girls have to get ready soon.
"Dec, get ready yuk! It's nine o'clock" Aline said.
"Siyaaaap, Ma'am."
"Where are you going? Vacation instead of rest at home, even the net continues. Aren't you tired?" mother Protest.
"Hehehe, no, Bun. We're both just going to the bookstore today. I'm looking for a textbook novel."
"Leave it, Bun!Poor thing, they need refreshing," Abah defended her daughters. "It's important to take care of yourself and keep Abah's trust."
"Tuh Bun, Abah is the best. God willing, we keep Abah's trust" promised Hana.
"Yes already, Mommy complies with Abah. Get ready for bad luck!"
"Ready, Miss Boss!" aline and Hana answered in unison.
"Ck, you guys. Don't go home in the afternoon, let's get some rest!"
"Okay, Mother Iaaang." Hannah hugged her mother.
Thirty minutes later, the two girls were ready, neat with their respective casual outfits. Hana is installing her sneaker, while Aline is ready to wait next to Hana's motor matic. He had also heated up his adopted sister's motor. Then they say goodbye to Abah and Mother who are also ready to go to Resto.
"Well ready?" ask Aline.
"Yep. I'm ready. Let's go!" hana's Spirit.
Just as he was starting his favorite motorbike, Hana's phone kicked, signaling an incoming call. Hana then turned off the motor and reached into the bag to take HP who did not stop singing her favorite Korean song. Turns out a call from Debby, her college friend.
"Just a minute, Ma'am. I got the call first," Aline nodded in permission.
"Hallo, assalamu'alaikum. Why By?"
.....
"It's still home, but I want to go with my sister. Why mother?"
.....
"What???! Seriously lo? How could I suddenly gini?"
.....
"Ck, really very interesting lecturer that one. Yes already. This is my way to send my brother first, I picked you up. The plan was we mo to the mall that deket lo house. Wait in front of ya! I'm leaving now" Hana mumbled.
.....
"OKAY. Wa'alaikumsalam."
"Why the hell, Dek, ngedumel is the same lecturer. Not polite, you know!" admonish Aline who heard the conversation.
Hana then faces her faithful Aline mbak sitting in the passenger seat of her motorcycle.
"Hehehehe maap Maap Maam. Sesel's gone."
"Why?"
"Hhmmm sorry, Ms. Aline. I suddenly had class this morning."
"Sudden class?"
"Yes, Mother. Yes, what else, this one lecturer is really. Turn of the clock he didn't get in, uh it's our turn to take off he asked for a class. Where do I find him 3 more CREDITS."
"Yes already. No papa. Next time we go to the bookstore."
"Eh, don't dong, Ma'am. Ma'am I anter to the mall yes, keep me straight to campus, papa no, Ma'am?"
"Hhhmmm .... Ma'am males if the road alone. Mending anterin Mbak go back to the contract! Next time we go to the bookstore. How's it?"
"Yaaaah, don't donk, Ma'am. Gini aja's. My mom dropped at the mall. You can walk around or look around the mall first. After college, I went to his bookstore. Want huh? Yea? Yea? Pliiiiiis," hana's inked with her puppy eyes.
Aline became unbearable and eventually nodded. He is the most lazy when alone. Hopefully Hana's class will break up quickly.
After getting approval from Aline, Hana immediately drove her motorcycle to the mall in question. After dropping off Aline, Hana's motorbike drove back to Debby's house not far from there to go to campus together.
Aline entered the mall lazily. He really doesn't like to walk alone. Before going to the bookstore, Aline went around the mall to just look at improving his mood. When he went to the toilet to urinate, he accidentally passed Prita, his friend who lives in Jogja, which was also reflecting to justify his appearance on the next glass.
"Rulina!!!" hysterical Prita who recognized Aline first.
"Prita?!" Aline was no less hysterical to meet her best friend.
They hugged and cipika cipiki. Prita even twirled his best friend who has now been wearing the hijab.
"Well, you look more beautiful. I almost pangling."
"Hehehe .. Did you know you could meet here?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Are you alone?"
"So both, same temen, but he already wanted to go to his sodaranya house he said. Stay again in Jakarta. Are you alone too?"
"Now yes, but later there will be my adopted sister who nemenin. Now he has class. Btw, how are you? Not in the city, right?"
"Alhamdulillah, my good news. Yes, it is still in Jogja but this is again there is an event here a few days. Tomorrow the plan is back. Duuuuh, his smile can meet you here. Kangeeeen," he said again while hugging Aline's gold which he thought was getting more beautiful with her hijab.
"Ta, I can't breathe."
Prita then released her tight hug from Aline. "Eh, sori. After that, I could see you again. I thought we'd never see you again, because your number I called was not active. Ask your friends, no one knows. Even Mario doesn't know about you" he explained.
"Oh yeah, I've changed the number."
"Why? Oh yeah, we're looking for a cafe yuk! Time kangen-kenan in the toilet, hahahahah."
"Yeah!"
Then they sit in a cafe, order drinks and start telling stories again. This Prita is actually the friend that Aline will turn to when she gets kicked out by her papa first. But God even met her with the mother Halima. Again, man can only plan, but God alone determines everything.
"Oh yeah, where's your HP?" pinta Prita to Aline. Aline then handed over her HP. Prita typed her number in Aline's HP and made a call to her HP. "Now!" he then handed it back to Aline. In his heart he asked, usually this girl in front of him even though he never showed off, but he always used the best quality products, such as HP always uses HP with high specs, but he always used high quality products, not an ordinary HP with an ordinary spec like this, but he kept the question in his heart.
"Are you on vacation in Jakarta or what?" the question is then when their order is delivered by a waiter.
"Now I work, at one of the property companies here."
"Seriously you work here?"
"Yes. Seriously."
"Don't you say you want to help continue your family business?"
"Huh? That's the plan, but I want to get some experience."
Prita narrowed her eyes, scanning the expression on Aline's face. His suspicions are becoming. He smelled there was some irregularity here. Prita and Aline are quite close, not only because they both come from Indonesia, but their apartment is also next to each other. So both are very familiar. The only one who is close and familiar with Aline when in Germany first, besides Mario, his girlfriend who is Mexican citizen, yes Prita this.
"Rousalina!"
"Yes?"
"I smell some irregularity here. What happened?"
"Nope. There's nothing. Everything is fine."
"Helloooo, Denisa Rosaline. We are not one or two months. But years. Now same story with me!"
"Truly, there's nothing" said Aline.
Prita again narrowed her eyes, looking at Aline with an intimidatingly sharp look. "You think I believe in your 'nothing' answer?" his nag.
"OK," he said, raising his hands like a criminal caught by the police. "The story is long."
"Okee's? I have a lot of time. I happen to be free today."
Then, the story flowed Aline from the time he wanted to be betrothed until he worked at Atmaja Corp.
Prita held, holding his best friend's hand to strengthen after hearing the story of his best friend. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he said.
"Thanks. I am grateful for my situation now." Aline smiled, sincere and sincere.
"If you need help, call me. I'm ready 24 hours to help you whenever you need."
"Ready."
Prita's HP read, a sign there was an incoming call but he ignored it.
"Have ahold! Who knows how important."
"No need. My cousin, Elisha. You still want to? Who used to vacation and spend time in my apartment?"
"I'm a little less sure which one it is."
"Here he chatted. Just yeah!" then Prita opens his W.A application.
"Well, how is he asking you?"
"Ah, the hell time, Ta?"
"Yes, read it. There's a picture of you!"
Aline then reads a chat sent by Elisa, who turns out to be her fiance Mas Rendi, her superior.
Elisha: Assalamu'alaikum, Ta
(send)
Elisha: Can I not?
(send)
Price: Wa'alaikumsalam.
(send)
Be able. What's the mo, Sa?
(send)
Elisha: That Temen Lo in Germany, this one isn't the one?
(send)
"Kok she asked me, huh, Ta?" ask Aline wonder.
"Yes briefly! I asked you first." Then he started typing on his HP
Prita.: Which one am I?
(send)
Elisha: That, your neighbor who works in a cafe that matcha latte his I said the most delicious.
(send)
News : Oooo ... Rosa you mean? As I recall she did not wear a hijab, trus wear glasses, her eyes are also blue, not black what brown gini.
(send)
Elisa. : Yes. As I remember that too. But how do I feel it's him, huh? Maybe my feelings once, huh? hehehehe
(send)
Prita.: Why is it? (on🤠mode kepo)
(send)
Elisha. : Nothing at all
(send)
Prita.: What's wrong? So what's he doing?
(send)
Elisa: She's the new secretary to my fiancee, Mas Rendi. Name's Aline.
(send)
City : Ooo. Trus?
(send)
Elisa.: I thought it was them. You see, Mas Rendi was curious about this girl. He said he did not have a diploma but his work was terrible who graduated S2. So the boss is a little suspicious. Spying against his company.
Part. : Oooo.
(send)
Elisha. : Yes, Ta. Sori is disturbing.
(send)
Prita. : No prob.
Aline just smiled reading the chat Prita and her cousin.
"Well, at least I'm not being honest but I'm not lying, right?" prita told Aline.
"Thanks yes, Ta." Prita nodded.
"I'm sure you're not a spy or an evil intent with that company. I know you're a good man. Oia, so now I have to follow you call you 'Aline' that?"
"Well, what else, Ta? I don't admit I'm part of that family anymore, so there must be a new identity. Besides, my two brothers are nyariin. Fearing that if I get caught my name is Rosaline Denisa, surely they will easily find me and take me home to Batam."
"Okay then." Then Prita extended her hand to Aline.
"What's this?"
"Udah, shake my hand!" And Aline also received a handshake from Prita.
"Greetings. I'm Prita. I hope we can be good friends."
Aline then laughed loosely with the hilarious behavior of his friend without him realizing there were a pair of loyal eyes staring at him earlier.
After being satisfied to exchange stories, Aline and Prita joined around the mall.
"Sa, uh Lin, I go first huh. Just now there was a chat from Jogja, there was a little problem in the boutique. So I think I should go back today too."
"Oia, no papa. Hopefully the problem will be quick, yeah."
"Aamiinu. Promise call me often! If there's time, play to Jogja!"
"Siip. Insha'allah. Thank you for my work, hehehe."
"Ck, just drink mah. I sent you my dress. I'm sure you don't have a dress, do you? Come ngaku!"
"Where is the dress made for the cake? To the office or to the restaurant? There-there's!"
"Just wait. Yes already. I'm first yeah, Lin!"
"Titi dije yes, Ta! I'll let you know when I get there!" Then they make a special cipiki ibuk-buk.
"OKAY. Assalamu'alaikum." said Prita.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." Then they split up.
