Denisa Rosaline

Rio Tiocandra

Aline walked out of the Eagle room with a face bent by a thousand. He felt that Eagle had deliberately taken revenge on him with all this data because the man was upset at lunchtime. "Victory base!" he swore in his heart.

"What should be re-examined? Am I on the audit team? Have all these reports been discussed at the meeting? You childish boss!" Aline was still cursing her frustration. But he also did not stop working. Let's just say he became a member of the auditor who is conducting an audit for the next week. "Spirit! Bismillaahirrohaanirrohiim." Aline put all the files on her desk. Sit back behind the computer screen and start sorting and organizing the data.

Today he will do just that, then go home and continue the work at the restaurant, which he loved.

Aline glanced at the clock on her left wrist. The clock back is over. The plan, he will only be overtime starting tomorrow. But it turns out to sort the data also takes a long time if done half-heartedly like this. It is fitting that Prophet Muhammad SAW taught his people to always be grateful, patient and sincere, it turns out that is the key to happiness. If the heart and soul are happy, then whatever is done will feel light and smooth.

"Astaghfirullaah," repeatedly the girl beristighfar in heart, regretting her prejudiced attitude towards the boss, and doing the work half-heartedly. The scorched has been the value of worship from the work he has done from noon until this afternoon. Finally, just tired of what he got. Currently, the girl just wants to go home immediately and ask permission for leave for the next week to Abah and Mommy from her work at the restaurant, or maybe he'll just take home a week's work. I don't know, later thought, he needs to discuss this later at the restaurant.

Just as Aline finished stretching her muscles, the girl's smartphone rang. Plans to go home soon were postponed. Aline reached into the drawer and pulled out her smartphone. His smile expanded as soon as he saw the name of the caller.

"Assalamu'alaikum my brother," he said spoiled staring at the screen featuring the handsome face of his youngest brother, Lavenderio Denis Tiocandra.

Rio got a message from the Mbok saying that his sister missed. It turned out that Mbok immediately reported the moment he finished making a phone call with his little lady last afternoon. But because of his busyness, Rio finally called after his work that day was finished.

"Wa'alaikum hail adek iaaang," Rio returned Aline's greeting in the same way, making the girl giggle amusedly.

"Why laugh at that? Is something funny?" Rio looked in wonder at the younger brother. "My feeling is just to say hello, why is Rosaline laughing to such a giggle?" bathin Rio who astonished himself with the absurd behavior of his sister.

"Emmm..." Aline cleared her throat and took a breath to neutralize her laughter.

"Yes, funny brother. Gemeeeesssh, answer your regards to that cake!" back the girl spoiled.

"Yes, you started first, you just imitate!" kilah Rio's. "Udah ah's. What are you doing again? I guess it's still in the office? Bother you? What time is it?" he did not like it while looking at the expensive clock on his left wrist.

"Yes, it's finished. Be ready to go home." Aline smiled sweetly at the screen, looking at the man she loved with a longing gaze.

"Yes, just wait there. Send the driver to pick you up!" titah Rio's.

"Eh... eh...what the fuck did Abang play send a driver over here? It's only five o'clock in the afternoon, Bang. The sky is also bright. Thirty minutes to the ojek also arrived home. Don't be lebay!" ledek Aline's.

Just as Rio was about to reopen his voice, Aline had already first asked for something else to divert the conversation.

"Would there be no business plan in Jakarta? hehehe," Aline was grumpy because of the stupid question she was forced to ask herself. Otherwise, Rio would still forcefully send people to pick him up.

"Nothing!" rio answered ketus.

"Iisssh, he used to say, Bro, don't have to be that jutek. If there is no. No papa no mama. My guy's just a guy, weeeeek!"

That's how Rosaline and Rio, if it's far apart like this, sometimes get along but more often tease each other and make each other upset, if you talk there are no sweet-sweet that, even though they both miss each other.

The brothers' conversation continued until twenty minutes later. Without realizing both of them there is someone who sees their interaction with a view of dislike from inside his office.

After taking off the longing with her brother, Aline hurriedly tidied up her work area and prepared to go home. The clock has shown at 17.17 WIB. He asked Abah for permission to come late today. There is a bit of a strange feeling considering that the boss has not come home at this hour, even though it is past office hours. But that thought was immediately put away. Why think about the boss. So, immediately he ordered an online motorcycle taxi that would be very effective at the office hours like this. At the very least, he would not experience a severe enough traffic jam.

*Tnight of the day*

Aline was at Abah's restaurant. He had already talked about his overtime problems in AC and the desire to stop working there after the main secretary Pak Elang finished his maternity leave later. Abah and Bunda said there was no problem with Aline's condition and his "irregular" working hours as now as long as the girl was able to handle her main duties at their restaurant. After all, they were also the ones who had encouraged Aline to have two jobs at once because unfortunately if the ability of the girl was not developed. After all this was also only until Mr. Eagle's secretary finished his leave, after which of course Aline's work there became lighter. Abah and Mommy only ask that Aline's work at the restaurant remains complete, safe and controlled as it has been going all along. "Later Hana you can empower to help, count her learning," said Abah trying to convince Aline. After all, they only entrusted the financial affairs done by Aline. Thanks to the girl's ability, their family's economy is getting better.

But, the two foster parents Aline still leave all the decisions on Aline because the girl who will undergo. Admittedly, double jobs are exhausting. Good thing, Aline will feel it too. They only suggested that Aline think carefully with a cold head of her decision. Whatever the decision, Abah and Mommy promise to continue to support him. The couple really think of Aline as their own daughter and put themselves like real parents to the beautiful girl. And Aline really enjoyed the trust of her foster parents. The confidence in making his own decisions that he never had before.

Aline is working on her work at the restaurant with Hana while teaching the woman she already considers like her own sister when the sound of knocking on the door interrupts her concentration.

Tok.dok...

"Assalamu'alaikum." The door was knocked from the outside and greetings were spoken.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," the young girls replied in unison.

"Lake in!" Hana's voice sounded very soft, but still could be heard by the person behind the door.

"Guests for me? Who, Mas Tama?" Aline was confused by herself. The association is very limited while in Jakarta. Friends who are close enough to him must first contact if you want to visit this Abah cafe.

"Hhmmm, I've never seen it, ma'am. Just got here this once. Mas-mas wear that neat suit, handsome again the person. The guest's sitting at table 25, ma'am." Tama begins to describe the man who was Aline's guest.

"Oohs. Okay, Mas. I'm going down. Mas Tama first! Thanks to ya." Aline decided to meet her guests. He nodded at Hana and rushed down.

At the bottom of the stairs, Aline caught the figure of a fat-haired man she knew so well. A smile rose on her pink lips.

"Bang Riooo!!!" his screams and immediately splashed into the arms of the brother. Likewise with Rio, he received the hug of his only sister warmly.

"Don't yell that. Shame on seeing people!" Rio shook his head looking at Rosaline's sometimes very childish behavior, even though she was almost a quarter of a century old.

Maybe because this is the effect of childhood that most learn, so less time playing and behaving according to children his age. Finally, when the others were adults, he still behaved like a child, hehehehe ..." Rio chuckled inwardly at his ridiculous thought.

"Elllleh, usually also happy to be the center of attention," Aline replied sneering. But then he immediately realized the conditions around. Fortunately Rio chose a table in the corner, so it was not too visible to other restaurant visitors.

"Why wouldn't you tell me if I wanted to come here? He said there was no plan to have business in Jakarta, uh know-tauanya already here."

A longing lingered on the chest of the two. This afternoon they finished making a video call. Since their meeting the other day, only this time the two met again.

"Why really? You want to pick up Brother at the airport if Abang ngabarin first?"

"Eh, that's not the time either, Bang. I'll do this job again, just this. Let it look care so same brother, hehehe" Aline cengengesan saw Rio who was grumbling hearing his answer.

"Well, you three days of stale, Dek!" Rio sniffed out his sister's nose. "Yes surprise dong. If you're not surprised later, hehehe," Rio's kink with his silly answer.

"Ck, what the hell, Bang Rio! Alone, is it? Bang Cris not following?" Rosaline cuddly looking for Cris' presence.

"Why? Don't you like to see my brother?" Rio pretended to sulk to tease his sister.

"Iish, not that. Sensi's very, very, Bang?" Aline blushed her lips. "I mean Iuu, Brother is not with Bang Cris that? Busy as he is now. Phones are also rare" Aline protested.

"Hey spoiled," Rio pulled Aline's nose to make the owner's nose more manyun, "now just talk about it. Go home so you can meet all the family. Everyone misses you, you know?" Rio again pinched the tip of his sister's nose. The one pinched his nose even added his lips.

"Bang Cris didn't know you were here. Maybe he's getting ready now because he's going on a business trip to Spain tomorrow. Want not to have to start running a business Papi. Papi's getting older, especially since you've lived, the older he looks." Rio was concerned about the condition of his parents since Rosaline's expulsion from Tiocandra's palace. Long time he observed the change of his sister's face while saying sentence by sentence. He could conclude that his sister also missed both their parents very much. However, the younger brother who he knew had principles and nature hard on himself was seen to be holding back.

"I just want to go home if Papi tells me to go home, and I think of him as his son again. If not, I won't go home. I miss my mom, too, but I know that you can't possibly oppose papi. And I also do not want if my mother becomes a wife who is ungodly to my husband for my sake," explained Aline full of sadness.

"So, you choose to be a bad boy if your mom asks you to come home?" rio asked, on target.

Aline looked at her brother. This question really makes him dead stylish.

"Don't know what it's like. I'm the one who's been used to getting attention from papi, from mami, brother, bang Cris and everyone. All papi's wishes I've followed. Not that I want to count the same papi. Not at all! This is all I refuse because I don't want to live in a household with a man I know isn't a good man. Just this, but why papi..." Aline couldn't continue her sentence. His voice was choked due to the overflow of sadness that whack. The shadow of that day and his struggle for survival in this great city single-handedly became an outcast child with no identity flashed in his mind.

Rio moved to sit beside his sister. He stroked the head covered in black pashmina. His intention was just to tease the sister, but it became a serious conversation.

"Sst... sssst... sssst..... already! Brother ngerti. Maapin Abang yes! My brother doesn't mean to make you sad. Big brother Cris will always be there for you. You can go home to apartment Abang or Bang Cris if you want to go back to Batam, whenever you want. Or if you want to live alone in your apartment can also, later you buy it for you. Now, the crying is yes! My brother was hungry, he had not eaten. You don't want to eat or drink? Aduuuh, brother must komplen this same owner of the restaurant, the time of visitors cool gini not served well?" Rio rubbed Rosaline's back to expel the girl's turmoil and tried to jokingly change the topic of conversation that he thought was very complicated.

In fact, because of the departure of Rosaline, Cris and he were the ones who had to bear the consequences of the failure of his sister's match with Niko, the grandson of their grandfather's friend. Cris, who initially had to replace Rosaline to be betrothed to a young woman, the younger sister of Niko, refused with the consequences of having to be willing to share the role and time to take care of some of the company. In fact, business is not its passion. While Rio, forced to accept an arranged marriage with the girl who was the same age as his sister for the health of the papi who suddenly decreased because of the thought of trying to fulfill the grandfather's last request. But their complicated story was immediately removed from his mind. Just wasting time thinking about it all.

Aline wiped the melted snot with her tears. Then wiped his tears violently and rushed towards the back to wash his face without daring to look at Rio who was also grim-faced. Aline ordered food for Rio and helped prepare it.

After Aline died, Rio looked busy with his smartphone that had vibrated since earlier. The call from his fiancee he simply ignored. Messages in the green phone application he finally answered as needed. "Based on a possessive woman" he said annoyed and threw the expensive smartphone into his pocket. His body feels very tired. How not, after making a video call with Rosaline this afternoon, Rio decided to immediately fly to Jakarta to visit his sister without having time to go home to his apartment just to take a shower or rest for a while.

Not long after, Aline returned to Rio's desk carrying some menu that he believed his brother would like. They had dinner in a warm atmosphere. Aline was very happy to see her brother eating voraciously. Rio Tiocandra ate her dinner accompanied by her sister without knowing that she ate by ignoring the phone and messages from the fiancee whom she labeled as the possessive woman.
