It's like, I'm in Love

Ch. 37

Desi rubbed the phone screen with a smile etched on her face. Today Maria and Nayra are in the diocese. Photos of his two best friends wearing toga filled his screen. He should have been there with his two friends. Wearing a toga and taking pictures along with a big smile showed off the results of four years of hard work. But what can be said, not everything planned can be done.

Desi lay staring at the ceiling of her room. Sad, of course. Who wouldn't be sad if they had to postpone graduation. But Desi did not want to drown in disappointment. After all, his graduation was delayed, not canceled.

The sound of knocking on the door of the room made Desi immediately sit down and tidy up her hair. Before opening the door he glazed over and rubbed his face.

"Auntie." Sapa Desi when she saw Rara was already at the door of her room.

"You sleeping?"

Desi shook her head slowly. "No Aunt. Is there anything I should do?"

"Auntie wants to shop. Stay with ya." Pinta Rara with a sparkling face.

Actually Desi was reluctant to travel because her mood had not returned well. But seeing the expression on Rara's face that looked at her expectantly, Desi did not have the heart to reject her.

"I'll change my clothes first, Auntie."

Rara smiled happily. "OKs. Aunt wait in front of ya."

"Yes Aunt." Desi immediately closed the door and prepared.

Two hours later the two arrive at a famous boutique that is Rara's subscription. Desi just followed wherever the middle-aged woman went. He was not interested in looking around. In addition to not being able to see the price, Desi was used to not buying items that he would not use.

"You don't look around Des?" Rara asked who was aware of Desi just following her.

"No Aunt." Answer Desi honestly.

"You just choose. Aunty treat." Rara ogling.

Desi laughed a little. "Thank you for the offer Auntie. But what I bought it for. After all I also won't go to an event that requires expensive dresses." Nothing Desi covers from Rara.

Rara stopped her hand movements. He thought back to Desi's words and nodded later.

"Then we go somewhere else." Take Rara and get out of the boutique.

"Lho, isn't Aunt shopping?"

Rara smiled. "I remember having a stock dress that has never been worn if at any time got a party invitation." Apparently inwardly, Rara considered Desi's remarks. Why buy things that have not been or will not be used. Just throw away the money and also make the storage area full.

The car stopped in front of a salon. After signing up and showing a gold membership card, Rara and Desi are escorted to a VVIP room.

"Today you should also be pampered with professional care. Usually you spoil Auntie. Now you also have to enjoy it " Rara said when going to do body weighing.

Desi eyes sparkling. "If this one, I never refuse."

Desi's answer made Rara spontaneously laugh. He was happy because he made the right decision. When signing up, Rara orders treatments from head to toe. Because they become VVIP customers, they will also get snacks to heavy meals. So do not be afraid of hunger even though all day in that place. And to be sure, the food provided is a nutritious food for skin beauty also does not affect weight. That was the reason why Desi and Rara weighed their weight. It is related to the presentation of food based on the instructions of nutritionists who are in the beauty house.

Desi really enjoyed her time at the moment. It feels really comfortable and soothing. Unbeknownst to Desi, Rara secretly took photos as Desi's eyes closed enjoying a massage on her head.

Rara sent the photo with a caption.

^^^He enjoyed his time. I guarantee he can forget his sadness for not being able to attend graduation.^^^

Shortly after, a reply came.

Thank you very much Aunt. I am indebted to Auntie and my family. One day I will repay all the kindness of Aunt and family.

^^^No need, you've risked a lot to save him.^^^

Rara sent the message. But he did not immediately put down his smartphone. He reopened the green conversation app.

^^^If we edit Desi for Alfian, how?^^^

Rara waited for an answer uneasily. A minute goes by feels like a week. As soon as the notification tone sounded he immediately unlocked the screen quickly.

If Desi had the same taste, there would be nothing in the way. But it's good if I ask again. Because I'm not in charge of Desi.

The answer Rara received made the woman smile. At least Alfian was not rejected. A message back in

Thank you for accepting Desi. Though he is not from the upper class like Om and Aunty.

Jemari Rara typed a reply nimbly.

^^^ There is no reason not to like it. He can make Aunt's favorite son change. Make Om and Auntie, that's more than enough. Alfian is everything to us. We are grateful that Desi came into his life.^^^

A message back in.

I didn't think it would end happily like this.

Rara returned to reply.

^^^Berkat you.^^^

A short reply from Rara turned out to be so affecting people who were responding to messages with her. It takes time to reply to that message.

I don't deserve any compliments, Auntie. It was all thanks to Desi's own persistence to maintain her pride and honor.

Rara read the message and looked at Desi who was still closing her eyes enjoying the massage on her head. Rara's eyes began to stagnate. The woman blinked her eyes repeatedly blocking the clear liquid from shedding.

The young girl had lived in agony for a long time. As a teenager his age only thought about studying and spending time with peers, Desi had to work to continue his education and life. In the midst of the harshness of the life path he took, Desi did not take shortcuts.

🌸🌸🌸

Alfian stared at the photo of Desi in his cell phone gallery. While sailing on the weekend, he asked Desi to take a photo of the two. Who would have thought, Desi was very enthusiastic. It's not even awkward to pose in a very close position. The cruise got Alfian drunk. Not seasickness or alcoholic beverages. Except for love.

Before returning to the apartment, Alfian hugged Rara tightly and kissed the cheek of the woman who had raised her repeatedly. He thanked the idea of the Mother for the weekend together.

But Alfian's smile faded as he recalled his anger at Desi. He let out hurtful words as a result of the overflow of emotions.

Alfian let out a rough sigh and stood up from his seat. He went to the window and looked at the green open space outside the building.

As Alfian began to understand right and wrong. Know what it is to be happy, sad and angry. Alfian had already seen how the Mother behaved to her late Father.

Mom is so sweet and friendly to rich om-oms who sometimes come home. But mother's behavior is very much different to her and Dad's. Not infrequently Alfian saw his father crying secretly while holding one arm that already has no hands. Really just left an arm.

Alfian's emotions are triggered because he feels that Desi is only sweet and friendly to other youths. The trauma makes Alfian forget that they have not been in a relationship for long. And forget if their relationship begins with the status of the servant and the employer. Alfian regretted the impulsive behavior he had done back then.

"I'm sure you understand that I'm jealous. So, I hope there won't be such an incident in the future." Alfian muttered as he looked back at the photo of Desi.
