"Yes, early in the morning we're going out!"
Aline looked up and as soon as her voice disappeared, her face turned pale and her hands began to sweat, but her eyes said something else.
"Tan .. te ... I .. ka ..!" he said stammering, feeling his throat dry suddenly. There was happiness emanating clearly in the girl's eyes. Of course after many years of being a lost child, then meeting with one of your family members, must make anyone's heart feel happy. Moreover, Aline, Rosaline, the girl who was pampered and adored like a king's daughter by the whole family before the expulsion occurred, the, losing the warmth of the family in an instant is certainly not an easy thing to go through alone. But fear also colored his eyes. Afraid of his existence being known by the family, especially his two brothers, he could be dragged home right now. Another story will be if the papi who came to him, willingly and with a happy heart he will return to the birthday of his beloved family. But that's just his wish, which hopefully becomes real.
Aline stood up from her seat, hugging longingly the wife of her younger sister, Harry. Just like other family members, Ika certainly loved this nephew. He returned Aline's embrace affectionately, rubbing his head full of longing.
Ika broke into a hug, pecked on both cheeks of her beloved niece. "You're more beautiful" she said, pulling the hijab a little bit, giving the code that she liked the girl's appearance, who now wears the hijab. Aline nodded in her smile. "This? This is Siti who gave it when I was staying in Dumai at that time, Auntie and family were in Thailand. All thanks to him!" Aline's spirit tells her that the hijab she was wearing was a gift from her ART tantenya child, two years ago, before she left Sumatra.
"You're always beautiful, honey. Auntie kangen once! My family and I miss you very much too. Everyone's looking for you, but no one can find you. Alhamdulillaah we met here unexpectedly. I heard all the stories from Harry."
Aline rubbed the dew on the corner of her eyes. He wondered if papi was looking for him too? But that question he could not say. It was like something stuck in his throat.
"Aunty with whom?" Instead of asking for her papi, Aline instead crabbed looking for the existence of another human who accompanied the tant.
"Auntie herself. Harry is back in Hong Kong so can't come. Aunt bosen in apart. Anya again diospek. It was so early this morning."
"Oooh, Anya has gone to college, Tan? Doesn't feel it? College here?"
"Yes. Initially Aunt just want to find an apartment for him, but he was spoiled, yes you know your own sister, never split with Aunt, so ask for company first," he said he told his eldest son who is now studying at one of the universities in Jakarta.
"Tan, meet me please don't tell the others first yes, including Harry! I promise when the time comes, I'll go home. I also promise I'll take good care of myself here." Aline felt the need to warn Aunt Ika to keep her whereabouts a secret. "Please, Tan!" Aline clasped both hands of her tant, asking intensely.
I see you breathing. It was actually a bit heavy, but he did not want to interfere too much before he heard directly from the sweet girl in front of him. This nephew must have had a reason.
"alright. But promise we'll meet! Later Aunt shareloc address of her apartment Anya. Aunty wants to hear your version of the story!"
"Yes, Tan. Next Saturday I'm free all day. Aunty's been here a long time?"
"Hhhm, don't know yet, but the richness of one and two weeks is still here. Next saturday in the apartment Anya yes! Auntie is very much with you, Sa," she asked.
"okay, Tan. Deals."
"God, your boyfriend from last seen here continues to be afraid that your real person was kidnapped." Aunt Ika turned her lips and rolled her witty eyes at the Eagle who was struggling at the convenience store and was looking at them.
"It's not a girlfriend, Tan."
"Oh, not a girlfriend? But from earlier Aunt noticed the rich man dating. If a boyfriend is okay. Handsome and established, hehehehe." Aunt Ika teases her niece.
"Oh, Auntie what the hell? Don't talk about that!"
"OKAY. Okay. If so, you're going with the Tantenya now only times huh?" Aunt Ika rubbing babe cheeks Aline.
"It can't be, Tan. I was here just like him. Could've upset her if I turned her around with Auntie."
"Lho, he said not a girlfriend. Yes papa dong if you go home with Auntie?"
"Don't, Tan. Long business later."
"Ooooowwwhhh, okay okay." Back Aunt Ika teased her niece with a wink and a mischievous smile.
"Yes, Auntie doesn't want to bother for long. He wants to pay. Later counted Auntie ngapa-ngapain you. Keep your HP number here!" he said he handed over a new smartphone to Aline. Aline wrote down her HP number and made a call to her own number then handed it back to Aunt Ika.
"Auntie first, Sa! Aunty call later." Ika then kissed Aline's right cheek and left cheek before she continued her jogging.
The eagle returned to his car with a big bag of plastic snacks. "Now!" The eagle handed the package to Aline and sat behind the wheel. The car door is still open so that you can enjoy the atmosphere.
"Wanna see Drakor, sir?" aline's mouth is autocommentary to the package that the Eagle handed to her just now, considering Hana who likes to behave similarly if she wants to watch drakor marathon.
"Ck ... drakor what is it? I'm a guy, who likes to watch that meme-menye not clear that!" refute Eagle.
"Yeee, Mas Irwan who is in Marketing, Nino the same Mas Eki who is in Legal, Anjar's truck is also male, but they watch drakor tuh. Just a few times, sir, men are watching that." Aline passed on one by one his office boyfriends whom he knew were drakor enthusiasts.
"Well, if I watch another 'so' I like." The eagle lowered his eyebrows making Aline realize he was back using a word he should have lost from the vocabulary for life since this morning. Making his face flushed instantly, between restraining anger and embarrassment.
"Boyou didn't buy water?" ask Aline out of topic.
"There's, inside." The eagle kept answering instead of asking why the girl was asking something unrelated to their conversation.
"Make what?" finally, curious as well as when the girl stirred and searched the contents of the package she brought with her impatiently.
"Make your brainwashed, let it be clean from dirty thoughts, no more omes!" sambar Aline was still busy scrambling the contents of the plastic brought by his boss.
"Huhahahahaha ...." The eagle laughed out loud hearing this unfiltered plain answer from the girl next to him.
"So who?" he asked after he calmed his laughter and wiped the water in the corner of his eyes from laughing too hard.
"Which one?" Aline tried to buy time because he was lazy to answer.
"What was talking to you?"
"Ooh .... My aunt, sir."
"Ooh."
No more conversations about Aunt Ika. From Aline's short and rough answer indicates that he was reluctant to talk about his aunt. And the Eagle understood because as far as she was concerned, the girl did have a problem with her family.
They just enjoy the atmosphere while eating snacks until the clock shows at 9 and the sun has crawled up.
"Well?"
"Buy breakfast. Yes, buy clothes! Ck .. That's just use it."
"Iiissh, you mean what did you bring me? Go by yourself why? I'm tired of taking a break!"
"Let's just wait in the car if that's the case. This is in the direction of your home. Males I go back and forth, gasoline." Lookie! In addition to calculations and annoying it turns out he is also stingy. "Please pay for the snack you ate earlier."
"What??!!!" Aline glared hysterically, Eagle stay cool. There really is no morality.
Arrive at a famous boutique.
"Let's get off!" bring Eagle.
"Lho's? I said I was waiting in the car."
"can't. If I stay, you take me out of my new car!"
"Dwelling, amit-amit. I am also not interested in expensive cars but can only take two passengers. Ngabis-ngabisin money!"
"If you don't know, don't talk! Udah, hunt down! Ntar's out in the afternoon."
The eagle entered his subscription boutique with Aline grumbling right behind him.
"Morning, Lang. Wow, add to the storm aja ponakan Auntie. How's your mama doing?" a kindly greeting of a pretty woman in her late forties, similar to Bu Luna, her mother's Eagle.
"August, Aunt. Thank God you're healthy, Tan. Mom and everything is healthy." The eagle kissed the back of the beautiful woman's hand. "Oia, my order is ready, isn't it, Tan?" tanyanya.
"At least, Auntie told Cika to get it." The woman calls an employee named Cika to take the Eagle's order. While Aline was just listening lazily.
"Oia, Tan, can you please find a dress that suits her? While I'm trying?"
Feeling himself being the subject of conversation, Aline stared intently at his boss.
"Eh, no .. no .... I have no intention of buying clothes."
"Well, this is Eagle's girlfriend? So pretty!" Jane praised Aline who was already beautiful from birth.
"His name is Aline, Auntie. Lin, this is my mother's sister, Aunt Jane, who owns this work and this boutique." Instead of refuting, the Eagle instead introduced the two different women of that generation. Make a mistake. But Aline introduced herself and kissed the back of Aunt Jane's hand.
"I'm not her boyfriend, Tan. I'm Mr. Eagle's assistant." Aline.
Aunty Jane laughed crisply at Aline's reply. It's funny to see this couple. It looks like it's coming, he thought.
"Please, Tan. Cariin is good for him," Pinta Elang cut questions about the girlfriend who will be asked by her sister's mother.
Long looking because the boutique Aunt Jane provides luxury clothing, which does not suit Aline's taste. It's been almost an hour since they've been around but nothing seems to catch the girl's attention, not one, making Jane feel sad.
"Aunty's bad-ass plans all right?" she asked Aline with a sad face as they returned to the place where the Eagle was waiting by reading a fashion magazine.
"Eh, no Auntie. It's pretty all right. I'm just not comfortable with this fancy. Don't know where to wear it later. Pity her dress is already beautiful vibrate bland gini eh nangkringnya only in the closet I doang, hehehehe .... No, don't you, Tan?" Aline explained, it is not good for the store owner and designer luxury clothes that are also priced.
Aunt Jane was disappointed. Well, indeed he specifically designed clothes for parties and gigs of famous artists of the country. But behind his disappointment, he was also amazed by the girl brought by his nephew, not tempted by the luxurious dress he designed. Making it a plus for its humble and non-materialistic nature.
"Yes, not papa. Later if you need a party dress, calling Aunty yes. Ask for a Aunt's number with the Eagle."
"Big, Tan!" aline replied, The spirit made Jane smile even though she knew the girl was just about to encourage her heart.
Eagle raised next to his eyebrows, do not believe if this girl missed the opportunity to buy expensive clothes famous designers like this tantenya. But he also didn't force Aline after Aunt Jane said it all.
After paying, they returned to the car.
"Seriously don't want to take one shirt, huh? You can still change my mind so good-natured again and we're still here?" ask the Eagle again to be sure.
"No, Sir. Thanks though. I'm afraid the dress will become the eternal occupant of my closet, hehehehe .." so far Aline.
"Lo can be used for Silver HUT events Friday Company later. Everyone must be wearing beautiful dresses." The eagle tried to persuade. For some reason, he wanted to buy this girl a dress. Maybe because this girl is different from her other female friends, who will not miss the opportunity to buy a dress when they visit a boutique.
"Don't you know, Mr kok maksa anyway? I have a dress, and it has never been worn until now. Anyway, why do I really want to buy me? So strange!" Aline remembered the dress that her best friend, Prita, had sent her a few days ago.
"What did you say? Weirdo? I just don't want you to look cute, because at that time you were already my secretary. Don't let people say you don't pay me a decent salary. Don't be shy about me later."
"Ck, I'm not going to be shy, Dad. Just calm. Ah, yuk, come home! I am so sad, sir. Body smells of sweat." Aline kisses the armpits of his shirt making Eagle ilfil and then drives his car to take this sotoy girl home.
The eagle delivered Aline to her contract safely, healthy.
"Don't forget tomorrow's handover as Dira runs out of rest! Complete your work in finance as soon as possible!" he said that just as the girl was about to get out of her car, Aline was irritated.
"It's a holiday, sir. Don't bring the job! The father should say thank you to me because he was willing to take my precious vacation time for nemanin Mr. jogging. Not even a job. Make a sprain," Aline murmured.
"Brewle! Yes, the hunt is down!" banish him.
"Thank you for coming home. Assalamu'alaikum" he said. Despite the sprain, Aline did not forget his manners.
"Hm. Wa'alaikumsalam."
