Engelskraft: Love of Wasted Angels

The Marliani Brothers

Kevin's luxury sports car stops in front of an Italian restaurant in the Kemang area. In a hurry he got out of his vehicle and gave his car keys to the valet manager parked there. Kevin paused briefly at the door of the restaurant to tidy up his shirt that looked a bit crumpled up. Once it was tidy, he entered the restaurant excitedly.

“Sister Kevin!!” Shouted one of the long-haired women sitting in the corner of the restaurant. Kevin who heard the voice immediately walked quickly towards the woman.

“Lanny, when did you arrive in Jakarta?” Ask Kevin excitedly.

“Sorry, didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you.” The young woman named Lanny.

“Actually he's been telling me since a week ago if he wants to go back to Jakarta. But he said he can't tell you first.” Lina who sat next to her sister.

“Try to tell me, how was your lecture in Tokyo?” Kevin continued asking while sitting in front of him.

“Same is not exciting because there are no two of you.” Limpal Lanny with spoiled.

The conversation then seemed to flow easily even though Kevin had 1 year not met with Lina's sister. Kevin had hoped to be betrothed to Lanny rather than Lina because of her cheerful and friendly nature. But as time goes on, he can accept his betrothal to Lina and consider Lanny as his own sister.

Lanny is the younger sister of the wealthy Marliani family. Even though they were both raised together in the same way, but their personalities were both completely different. Lina's notoriously stiff and easy-to-criticize nature didn't come down to her sister at all. Lanny has a carefree and easy going personality so she is very easy to get along with people around her. No wonder Kevin liked that girl.

“How are your engagement preparations? Only 1 month left, you know.” Lanny said curiously.

“I, I have prepared everything myself carefully. Kevin has no time to help me.” Complain Lina.

“Wah, you are so cruel. Just be careful if my brother gets sick because he takes care of everything alone.” Lanny Protest.

“Do not exaggerate. Remember, this is just an engagement not yet a wedding.” Reply Kevin sultry.

“All men are the same. They do not understand that engagement is as important as marriage for women. I sympathize with you, Lina.” Continue Lanny while holding her brother's hand.

“Then, it's okay. Kevin is busy with his job. Especially since there is a new SPG, must often make it difficult.” Connect Lina.

“There seems to be an exciting story, here in Abram. Quickly tell me!” Lanny said excitedly.

“All is well, really. There's nothing to worry about. It was even Ailey who gave me the idea to collaborate with Engelskraft. Lina, put down a little bit of your frustration on him, he's pretty smart, you know.” Obviously Kevin.

“ Anyway I don't like that new SPG!” Firm Lina.

“Ailey? The engelskraft? It seems I went through a lot.” Lanny thought hard.

“If you are curious, sometime stop by the Mall Abram City, there is Engelskraft, a fairly popular cafe there. SPG was often ditching to go there.” Lina.

“Stop, Lina! He's not that bad.” Kevin's voice was rising.

“If you have time come to the mall. You haven't been there for a long time ‘kan?” Said Kevin.

“Iya, I'll definitely be there. I was curious about the cafe you were talking about. Actually, how popular is that place? I don't want to lose momentum for my TikTok content.” Reply Lanny while blinking her eyes.

Kevin just smiled a little at the young girl's behavior. Every now and then he looked towards Lina and saw her staring at Kevin with an intimidating look. It seemed that Lina was still bothered by the change in attitude Kevin had shown earlier.

“What's up, Lin?” Ask Kevin.

“It's okay. I'm just thinking of a forward-looking strategy to increase Abram Electronic sales.”

Kevin then shifted his eyes. Both of these people look awkward.

“You don't want to ask about my opinion? Or do you prefer to discuss with a new SPG that does not have that experience?” Syndicate Lina.

“Actually what do you want to convey?” Kevin Protests.

Lina simply looked at him in silence without replying a word. Lanny who was next to him felt the tension from her brother's attitude. As someone who knows nothing, he chooses silence rather than talking and muddying the atmosphere.

“In addition to the time I want to come with you to discuss with that smart SPG, how?” Continue Lina while turning her cold face into a friendly smile.

“Of course. We can invite the marketing team as well.” Kevin replied relieved to see the smile engraved on Lina's lips.

“Alright, then I will schedule a meeting with Ailey and Silvia.” He said, pulling the phone out of his bag. Without hesitation he called Ailey even though his working hours were over. Without waiting for a long time, the call is connected.

“Ailey, tomorrow please come to the office for a meeting with the marketing team.” Lina said without further ado. Taking a short breath, he continued, “Pak Kevin will also be present to discuss his next strategy.” Soon after, he closed the call and put his phone back in the bag.

“Suddenly once, tomorrow? You didn't even ask me if my schedule tomorrow was empty or not.” Sela Kevin's.

“You forgot that I hold your daily schedule? Tomorrow you only have a meeting in the morning. Of course it doesn't matter if we have a meeting during the day.” Reply Lina.

“But you can't seem to. Ailey has to work in the store too.”

“I am the boss. I have the freedom to assign it anytime and anywhere. After all, Siti can still take care of the store well without the help of Ailey.” Lina answered uncontested.

Lanny who does not understand the conversation can only watch the drama right in front of her as if watching a real Korean movie. It seemed that he was a little sorry to return to Jakarta that day. The timing is not right.

Kevin who could not argue with the super dominant woman could only sigh deeply. Even if he's uncomfortable with Lina's elusive attitude, Kevin's a little happy that he's going to meet Ailey again in his office tomorrow, for some reason. But for sure, it has been imagined in his mind the excitement of the meeting tomorrow. Moreover, there was Ailey who was brave enough to face Lina. Kevin covered his little smile as he imagined it.

“Alright, I can't wait to hear the results of your discussion tomorrow. Don't disappoint me!” Kevin said as if accepting a challenge from Lina.
