Endless Regrets

9.Palau

Black clouds adorned the horizon accompanied by specks of rain and cold air like the chaotic feeling Tommy was experiencing right now.

After the rain subsides Tommy seeks fitness body and heart by running in the morning in a place not too far away.

Tommy chooses a park that is close to where he and Alisa live. Tommy accidentally chose the place because Tommy knew that Alisa often exercised in the park.

When Tommy did a few rounds and the sweat began to wet his body Tommy stopped for a moment while looking up at the sky which began to look bright to wipe the sweat that poured out of his body.

But suddenly Tommy's gaze was fixated on a point where he saw a pair of human children whom Tommy was very familiar with, none other than Alisa and Rangga.

Tommy's heart was like being struck by lightning seeing the person he loved so much laugh happily with others. Though the person who Alisa feels can make her happy never loves herself sincerely she just holds a grudge against Alisa.

" God I'm willing if Alisa doesn't belong to me, as long as the person who is with her truly loves herself sincerely and can make herself happy" those words just popped out of Tommy's mouth uncontrollably as the feeling arose itself.

Rangga deliberately invites Alisa to approach Tommy because Rangga knows very well what feelings Tommy feels at this time, when the person he loves is with him.

With a look as if you accidentally met " Hey brother you're here too? " Said Rangga who deliberately provoked Tommy's emotions with his devilish smile.

Tommy who was relaxed did not want to be ignited by the lure of Rangga and Tommy answered his leisurely face with a face that did not show the slightest pain " yes my brother used to do sports in this place I happen to be not alone I am also with Intan".

" Hay Alisa hay Rangga" Intan said as he waved to the two of them.

" Why are you the same as Tommy Intan?" Said Alisa curious for some reason she wanted to know.

" Yes, I'm now friends with Tommy because I asked him for his help to work as a secretary in his office. Isn't that Tom?" Intan said spoiled to Tommy as if they had a special relationship and who asked only the mangosteen assented.

Rangga and Alisa are surprised by the way Intan tells Tommy, but they are not sure they have a relationship because Intan and Tommy just get to know. That's what they both had in mind.

The flash back

" Inan I love Alisa so much but she loves Rangga so much that she doesn't love her " tommy said his heart was expressed to Intan no longer thinking about his self-worth as a CEO of a large company and was famous for his dignity and worth. But for the sake of a deep love for Alisa.

" Tommy I will help you as much as I can as Alisa's best friend I will persuade her, hopefully she can open her eyes and heart" Intan said as she reassured Tommy.

" You mean how?" Ask Tommy curious.

" So we pretend to be friendly in front of Alisa, let us know if it's true that she has no feelings for you " said Intan with enthusiasm.

" How is it?" Tommy felt he couldn't do it.

" You just follow my game and don't protest with what I'm doing to you" Intan said as he thought about what to do tomorrow.

" Okay when do we start?" Said Tommy who was now excited as well.

" Morrow morning Alisa will usually do sports in the city park, there we will start our play " while hanging up the phone.

Flashback off

But Alisa is not affected in the least, because indeed her love is only for Rangga.

" Tom...we have breakfast there yok, we just take Rangga and Alisa" by gliding spoiled in Tommy's arm while blinking one eye as code.

Rangga's face began to be caught off guard by Tommy's offer which he thought was a camouflage to prank himself but different from Alisa who was still curious why Tommy suddenly called with affection to Intan, who said that he was a friend, what's really going on with them. Maybe that's what's now raging in Alisa's heart and mind seeing Intan's intimacy with Tommy.

In a well-known chicken porridge stall, that's where they sit for breakfast. They sat down one table and Tommy ordered four bowls of chicken porridge and four warm sweet teas.

Not long to wait finally their order came and they began to eat the breakfast menu in front of each of them.

Suddenly a grain of rice stuck to the corner of Tommy's thin lips quickly Intan picked up a piece of tissue that was also on the table. " Tom , sorry I was presumptuous to take a grain of rice that was attached to it "Inan wiped it with a smile that expands of course with a code of blinking one eye.

Tommy who was surprised by what was done by Intan also said "thank you for the attention" with a slight smile, but Intan blinked his eyes again to continue playing his role more slick.

Rangga who saw not to be outdone he immediately took the warm sweet tea that was in front of Alisa to give to Alisa who was coughing due to the spiciness. " Thank you Rangga" said no less friendly than Tommy.

Tommy is increasingly burned jealous and he is also irritated because Rangga who gets the attention of Alisa is not him.

After breakfast together was finished Rangga deliver Alisa to Alisa's house, but Ratih greeted them with a cynical smile of course that smile for Rangga who was never liked by Ratih. I don't know what Rangga's fault with Ratih, why Ratih is like that maybe it's filing a mother. Maybe because Rangga always makes his favorite daughter cry and always blame Alisa for the death of her parents.

But in contrast to when Tommy who came Ratih was always happy to even welcome the child with a smile. Because Ratih sees Tommy treating Alisa gently and appreciates Alisa very much.

" You don't work, Alisa's gone home, too, to rest "Ratih shooed Rangga gently.

Rangga who realized it immediately say goodbye to Ratih "i went home first Auntie" he said while kissing the back of Ratih's hand, but Ratih welcomed a helping hand from Rangga indifferently.

" Yes, you better go home because I also want to rest "close Ratih.

Rangga went home and drove his car and after Rangga's car was not seen Ratih entered the house.

***

Elsewhere Tommy and Intan discuss "how is this Intan not our goal of making Alisa jealous? But look instead of jealousy they get sticky "angry Tommy.

" Tammy you have to be patient no effort betrays the results" Intan said as he sipped his drink.

" As far as I can endure this jealousy of mine, honestly the more I can bear the more pain "wipe Tommy while according to the chest of his field.

" Tomm.. didn't Mama Alisa really like you and not like Rangga?" Tanya Intan excitedly.

" Yes, what I know like that. But...what does that have to do with it?" Tommy's confused.

" It could be the ultimate weapon for you, by approaching Aunt Ratih you can be more free to be able to get yourself to Alisa. If his parents are already in his grasp it must be easier to get his son ", explained Intan to Tommy.

" It's also true that you have to help me know my favorite aunt Ratih "tell Tommy to Intan.

" Beres Tom is so easy. Because I already know what Aunt Ratih likes!" Speak Intan with confidence.

" What do you know about Aunt Ratih's favorite?" Tommy curious.

" Aunte Ratih most likes ornamental and rare plants, such as aglonema, monstera and keladi which are again the trend now" explained Intan to Tommy.
