Engelskraft: Love of Wasted Angels

Establishment Teguh

An appetizing meatball bowl perched on the canteen table. Siti who was impatient to devour him immediately took a spoon and fork and stirred it with spicy chili. A puff of hot air rises from each stirring meatballs.

“The theme has just returned to work in this mall, you are even fun eating meatballs.” Ailey said in front of Siti in disappointment.

“Sorry, I'm so hungry haven't had breakfast from morning.” Reply while blowing meatball sauce.

“It seems that everything went smoothly, yes in the Abram Electronic store.” Ailey.

“Iya, I'm grateful, anyway. Sales have improved since the online store opened. Lots of visitors who order goods and then take them at our branch.” Siti said enthusiastically while sipping the still hot sauce.

“Good then. Hmm... Mr Kevin how are you?” Tanya Ailey hesitated.

“Nice timing!” He said while putting down the spoon, “Gossip ter-hot this century! Reportedly the engagement of Mr. Kevin with Bu Lina was canceled, you know.” Siti is excited.

“Oh...oh, yes?” Ailey pretends not to know.

“Hmm. Gelagatmu suspicious. Are you sure you don't know it yet?” Tanya Siti cornered.

“Anu... I.. I just found out.”.

Siti threw a suspicious look at her friend. The meatball that had been fueling his appetite was now lying dormant on the table because there was something more interesting in front of him.

“Ailey, don't tell me I'm your friend if I can't tell your attitude about hiding something! You sure you don't know?” The tone is getting cornered.

Ailey just kept quiet without answering anything. He turned his eyes to the ceiling feeling threatened by the question.

“True, ‘kannya you already know! How did you know while you were in the village?”

“Hmm... Don't tell anyone, yes! Mr. Kevin actually visited my house. She said she would cancel her engagement.” Ailey's whispers.

“Wah, it's crazy!!! Looks like your love is really welcome.” Goda Siti's.

“I don't want to comment first. On the other hand, I also did not feel good because it was the cause of their engagement cancellation.”

“Quiet, there is no slang term when yellow janur has not developed! I support you one hundred percent!” Siti said excitedly.

Those words did not give Ailey complete peace of mind. With the cancellation of their engagement, it was likely that Lina would hate him even more. In other words, it was getting harder for him to come to terms with the situation in Abram.

***

The clock shows at 6 p.m. Ailey who had finished her shift was getting ready to go home. He scrunched his hair back after a day of tying it with tightness.

“Hey, the CEO who picked you up has arrived!” Ferdi from behind the bar table.

Looks Kevin entered the cafe with a neat shirt stellan, combined with shiny dark brown pantofel shoes. He raised his gaze towards Ailey who was sitting waiting in front of the bar table.

“Have finished its work? How was your first day?” Greet Kevin.

“Everything's smooth. They treat me well here.” Answer Ailey.

“Thank God. I don't have to worry about you working under Milo. He ‘kan cares deeply about you.”

“Something seems jealous?” Temptation Ailey.

From a distance, it appears that Milo is approaching the two of them while carrying an environmentally friendly pouch in his hand. His gaze was directed at Ailey while occasionally looking at the happy-looking Kevin.

“Before you go home, bring this bread.” He said, extending the bag.

“No need to bother. Isn't this your cafe bread?” Ailey.

“Yes, no need to hesitate. Eat during the trip.”

“Your words are like they're taking us to a faraway place. Strange man.” Syndicated Kevin.

“You or not?” Milo offered again.

“Alright if you force. The windfall cannot be refused!” Kevin said without further ado while taking the bag containing the bread.

“Kevin, mildly polite as CEO!” Ailey's protests are not good.

While leaving the Engelskraft cafe, the two people who were drunk with love gave Milo a painful view. The angel could only look at them from behind and imagine that he was next to Ailey. But she doesn't want to ruin Ailey's life for the second time. He did not want to take the happiness of his women as he had done before.

As soon as Ailey and Kevin disappear from her sight, Lina presents herself from behind a wall. His eyes were fixed on Milo who was still standing glued with a blank look. As if he had been watching her for a long time, he approached the man.

“What a fool. Already know you like the woman, but you choose to give up just like that.” Lina broke the angel's daydream.

“What are you doing here?” Ask Milo curiously.

“I'm just curious and want to take a look. Looks like, we are in the same situation.” Lina.

“You mean?”

“We have the same importance to get the heart of the person we like. I'm sure, if we work together, you can get Ailey so I can take Kevin. Fair enough, right?” Intimidating speech.

Milo was stunned to hear the offer. He fell silent while thinking about the possibility that could happen if he accepted the woman's invitation. An attractive offer to make his flesh turbulent.

“How? We will be a suitable partner for this need.”

The heart of the malikat beats fast. If the offer wasn't taken away, there probably wouldn't be another chance to snatch Ailey from Kevin. Sweat sweat poured from his forehead as if he needed a lot of energy just to think about it.

“Think about it first. I'd be happy to help.” Follow Lina while stepping away.

“Wait a minute!” Milo stopped the woman's steps.

“Quick too. I guess you still need time to think.” He said happily as he looked towards Milo.

“I... I won't hurt Ailey again. Please do as you please, I won't interfere if you want to snatch Kevin from him. But if you hurt Ailey, I won't stay silent.” Tutored firmly.

Lina changed her face in annoyance. For him, the rejection had hurt his pride.

“Alright, if you still want to be a man who is pitied for being weak and helpless. I'm not the same as you, I'll fight for what I want!” The reply was full of stance.

Relief seeped into Milo's heart. He realized, if he did not reject it, a lot of losses would occur. Milo will never be able to return to being a full-fledged angel of heaven. However, what is far more important is that Ailey will suffer more and more from not being able to find happiness in her life.
