Father's Choice of Sort

The Gilang Invite

Sandra became uninspired after lunch. He kept thinking why Alfian had not contacted him or replied to him.

" Could it be that he was so busy that he couldn't reach me ?" Sandra asked sadly.

These few days Sandra had only realized Alfian's concern and concern for her. Remembering that made her feel guilty when yesterday-yesterday she blamed him for Rena's actions and her mother's departure. Especially with his stubborn attitude and ignore it. Luckily Alfian was able to understand it at that time. Even he was willing to go back to work from the village to the city every day just to be able to meet him.

" What's the reason you turned out like that ? Why did you suddenly become so good to me ? Could it be that you only feel like you are a mess to me because now I am an orphan ? Or is it papa who told you to stick with me ?" Sandra continued to think until she could not focus on taking the ongoing courses.

A little Sandra also came to mind with the words of her two friends. He was worried if Alfian was tempted by another woman. Moreover, she had seen with her own eyes when Rena tried to seduce her husband. She was afraid of another Rena popping up to snatch her husband. There were a lot of beautiful and graceful women working with Alfian.

Sandra was busy with her own thoughts until it didn't feel like college hours were over. Sandra walked out of the classroom and looked at her phone, hoping for a reply from Alfian. But there was no message from him. Sandra's face turned moody.

Drt....Drt...

There's an incoming message on his phone. Sandra smiled happily hoping if it was from Alfian. But it was Gilang who sent him a message.

" Have you gone to college ? I'm waiting for you in front." Message from Gilang.

It was Gilang who sent him a message. Sandra's face looked disappointed as she read it. But Sandra still returned the message and rushed to see Gilang.

" Buddies, I'm ahead." Pamit Sandra to Intan and Salsa.

From a distance he could already see Gilang waiting for him while leaning on his luxurious car. The man smiled after seeing her approach him.

" Why did you come here ?" Ask Sandra when she arrives.

" hm.. Don't like to see me ?" Saying Back asking.

" m .. No, that's not what I meant. sorry.." Said Sandra who realized that Gilang was offended by his words.

" No need to apologize. I'm here because of your husband. He just wanted to play orders to pick you up. " Say Gilang explained his arrival to the campus.

" so... Mas Al who sent us here ?" Sandra asked in disbelief.

" Sending a message to someone else alone can be ! Why not reply to my message ?! Or I could tell you that Mas Gilang is going to pick me up. Is Mas Alfian angry with me ?" Sandra's a little upset.

" Yes... Come on in, don't be dumb. " Tegur Gilang then opened the car door for Sandra.

After the two entered, Gilang drove his car casually.

Not as usual when we met. Sandra had become even more quiet since then.

" You're disappointed that I picked you up ?" Tanya Gilang who saw the gloomy face of Sandra.

" No, who is disappointed ? I'm just a little confused why Mas Al asked you to pick me up. Even he didn't tell me before.Sending a message wasn't !" Sandra was disappointed.

" He's very busy today. Even he immediately closed his phone after giving the order without hearing my answer first."

" m .. I'm sorry, but he likes it. Sorry to bother Mas Gilang." Sandra said seriously.

" Let's relax I've also memorized how the character is. Anyway I'm not busy, so I can pick you up." Gilang.

Back to a moment of silence.

" It seems you're upset. Why ?" Ask Gilang.

" Why not. " Reply Sandra who doesn't want others to know about what she's feeling.

" You are still the same as before. Still sad for me." Gilang.

" Mm. no mas, I'm not really okay. Oye .. So now your relationship is good ?" Sandra asked to switch the conversation.

Gilang smiled slightly looking at Sandra who was hiding her annoyance. Of course Alfian had already told her what she was planning. And it seems to work. Sandra did not look okay just because Alfian did not contact her today.

" We are back as friends as before. I'm sorry if Alfian treated you so badly because of me. But we have cleared up our misunderstanding. Now I'm happy with your relationship." Silang sincerely.

It was hard at first to release Sandra, but no matter how hard she tried she knew she would not be able to reach it. That's why he's trying to break it. Now being able to meet Sandra freely, being able to chat without fear made her more comfortable and relieved. There was nothing she needed to worry about anymore when she was with Sandra.

" Ooh .. I'm glad to hear it." Sandra replied.

Sandra herself began to understand Gilang's choice. The man must have thought about it carefully before making a decision. He is also happy if their friendship returns to the way it used to be. He did not want to be the cause of the breakdown of a friendship.

" How do you feel about him now ? " Tanya Gilang later.

" It seems like you're starting to like it." Saying Silence again.

" There's no way I'd like a cocky guy who likes it as much as he does." Deny Sandra.

Gilang smiled as he saw Sandra lying.

" Are you sure you can lie to me ? Don't forget your brother... I've already memorized about you. Come ngaku .. You're disappointed because it wasn't Alfian who picked you up ?" Tanya Gilang tries to make Sandra frank about her feelings.

I don't know why Sandra couldn't lie to Gilang. Being with him made him feel comfortable. Gilang had already considered him like a sister. So he can freely pull out his tits.

Sandra then nodded her head confirming Gilang's statement.

Glad to finally say Sandra.

" Why are you disappointed ? " Tanya Gilang is fishing again.

" I don't know, I'm upset. He hasn't contacted me this whole day. I thought he was very busy as Mas Gilang said earlier. But why did he even take the time to ask you for help ? Not giving news to me ! Neither was my message answered. If he's too busy why can he read messages on his phone ?" Said Sandra pouring out her frustration.

" Are you angry or worried ?" Gilang asked back.

" Both !" I'm Sandra.

" That's her name you've already fallen in love with her." Gilang.

" Really ?" Sandra was not sure if she had fallen in love with her husband.

" Want to avoid how else ? You really like it." Said Gilang.

" But I'm confused mas, I'm scared."

" Why ?" Ask Gilang.

" I was confused by Alfian's attitude. He's changed a lot now, he's kind and attentive to me. But he changed because of what I didn't know. I'm afraid if he turns good out of pity for me. And I'm afraid, he's just lying about his wish to live with me. What's all that he's doing for ? He never explained it to me. Either because he likes, or because he is limited to doing his duty as a good husband. Even I'm afraid that this kind and caring attitude is Papa's command." Sandra said pouring out everything she thought.

" Trust me. He is not a man who likes to play with women. He's a loyal man Sandra. He is hard and likes to do what he wants. But for this matter I dare to guarantee that Alfian sincerely did so. She likes you Sandra... I could feel it a long time ago." Gilang assured Sandra.

" but.... Why doesn't he say it if he likes me ? Our relationship used to be very bad... He's always pissed and set me up a lot."

" It's because he likes you but didn't realize it at the time. That's why he can only curb you as a form of concern for you. It could be that the fights that often occur is the way he can communicate with you. It sounds strange indeed, but that's what Alfian is like. Do you know his attitude towards his father ? He loved to rebel and be indifferent, but he loved him very much. Sandra ...., we never know how someone loves their partner and their loved ones. Maybe Alfian is still proud to express his feelings to you. Or it would take more time for him to gather his courage in order to declare it. But you can already feel his feelings without needing recognition from him.I just know if that love grows in his heart for you." Gilang's remarks gave an understanding to Sandra.

Sandra was stunned to hear it. Is it true what Gilang said ? Gilang is not a person who likes to lie or make small talk. Sandra knows that.

" And then... How am I supposed to do ?" Ask Sandra next.

" Open your heart little by little for him.... Eliminate that doubt. Give him confidence in your heart so you can see his sincerity. Trust her.... Your husband's. I'm sure you can survive until now because of the love between you. It's just that you're still both prestige and stubborn to admit it." Gilang.

Silence moment. Sandra permeated word for word that Gilang said.

" Not be too much of a burden. Just go through it well. Change your thinking about him. Remember the sacred promise that binds you both. None of this would have happened without God's intervention." Continued Gilang who saw Sandra's depressed face.

" Good mas... I'll think of your advice." Reply Sandra slowly.

" good... Slowly then.. I pray you are happy forever. I'm happy if you're happy... " Sincerely said.

Unbeknownst to them, they arrive at Sandra and Alfian's apartment.

" Thank you, man. Let's go in first. " Get Sandra out of the car. He chatted with Gilang through the car window that was lowered.

" Just go straight home. There's still business. It wouldn't be nice if it was just the two of us. I'm afraid I'm getting punched by Alfian again." Said Gilang while chuckling.

Sandra chuckled at hearing that. Gilang is the most good at changing his mood.

" Yes be careful on the road..." Sandra.

" good.. See you soon."

" Bye bye."

Sandra waved to Gilang , Gilang replied, then raised the car glass and drove away leaving Sandra who stood staring at his departure.
