Rio was getting closer to his face. When their lips touch. Suddenly someone knocked.
Tok.dok....
Rio cursed coarsely. "Dam. Just disturb."
Alya held her breath from earlier when the handsome Rector wanted to kiss her. Whether you feel grateful or not. The rector didn't become kissed. Alya let out a rough breath. He was finally able to breathe with relief.
The one who knocked on the door was the campus cleaning service. He wants to clean the room.
"Sorry sir. Does the room want to be cleaned?." asked the man.
"No need. The room is still very clean." replied Rio.
The cleaning service left the room.
Rio sat down next to Alya. "Is it still hurting your knee?" asked Rio softly.
"Udah mendingan sir." replied Alya.
They both looked at each other again. So in their eyes. It was as if - would they put a lot of strength in their eyes.
"Sir Rio...Can I get out of Mr. Rio's room?." said Alya breaking the silence.
Rio shifted his gaze from Alya's face. "Hmm.alright Miss. Maybe later can we have lunch together?." Rio bargained.
"May sir." replied Alya nervously and pleasantly. His handsome rector invited himself to lunch together.
Rio helped Alya stand up from the sofa. Take Alya to the door. And open the door for Alya.
"See you later today, Miss." Rio said smilingly.
Alya retorted with a nod and a smile.
*******
Lunch time has arrived. Alya wanted to get ready - ready to go to lunch with Rio the Rector. Alya's phone shook, there was a notification of a message from an unknown number.
💌 Hi...Miss you just go straight to the cafe across campus. We had lunch there. I ordered a place there.
From Rio's.
Alya smiled reading it. The incoming message turned out to be from the Rector to tell him to the cafe across campus. They will have lunch together.
Alya rushed to the cafe.
Until Alya cafe. The cafe waiter greeted Alya. "Please miss."
"Thank you. On behalf of Mr. Rio." asked Alya.
"Let's come with me Miss." take the waiter.
Alya followed the waiter. The waiter took Alya to the VIP room at the cafe. The place is very comfortable. So that Alya will not be bored waiting for the Rector.
The waiter was also farewell. Alya sat gracefully on the sofa that was so soft. While waiting for the Rector's arrival. Alya plays her phone.
It had been thirty minutes Alya waited. Food was on the table as well. But the Rector has not revealed his nose.
Alya was patiently waiting. Alya had not wanted to eat before Rio came. An hour already, Rio has not come yet. Alya ate alone. He was a little disappointed it turns out Rio did not give him the news why not come.
Alya had finished eating all her dishes. He also left the cafe. Alya just went home. Because there are no more classes.
*******
Meanwhile Rio. He's been preoccupied with his office work and he also gets word that Rachel's his son. Sick, Rachel suddenly has a fever. Rani the wife took him to the hospital. Rio was heading there.
"Darling why are you?" ask the father to his son.
"Rachel doesn't papa Pa." replied Rachel.
Rani who was in Rachel's nursery was unconcerned by Rio. Rani was sad, her husband ignored her.
"Mas, Rachel just has a fever. Have lunch?." asked Rani softly.
Rio did not answer Rani's question. Rio was really disappointed with his wife. Rani has cheated on him behind her.
Rio will reply to her. He will make Rani feel sorry for her love. Rio survived only because of her daughter Rachel. Rachel loved her mother very much.
"Papa? Mama's not much papa, have you eaten cyanh yet?." asked Rachel. Rachel felt the relationship between her parents was late - this end was very far apart. His father always cuekin his mother.
"Yes dear. Papa hasn't had lunch. Will we have lunch together?. Papa and Rachel" Rio said without naming his wife.
"So, said your mama, he had eaten." said Rio while glancing at Rani.
Rani heard Rio saying just smile and nod her head. That's a sign he answered yes.
*********
At Alya's house.
Alya looked very lethargic. He came home not excited. "Assalvallery...Mommy. Alya came home." he said languidly.
"Walaikumsalm darling...How lethargic are you dear?." asked Laras to his daughter.
"Yes Mi. Alya was tired." she replied lying. Alya was disappointed that he failed to have lunch with his Rector.
"You have lunch, dear?" asked Mami Laras.
"Yes mi. Alya in the room. Alya wants a break."
Alya nodded too. What happened to his daughter.
In the room Alya laid his body on the bed without changing clothes first. "Huh...Rector's a liar. The lunch promise. Uh.he didn't come. Fuckin." Mumbled Alya.
Saw cellphone. I want him to contact the Rector. But he's prestige. Alya stuck her phone on the nightstand. He closed his eyes and Alya fell asleep.
By late afternoon Alya woke up from her sleep. The first thing he did was look at his phone. Disappointed, there has been no news from Rio.
Alya breathed out her breath. He wants to refresh his body and take a shower. Alya finished the bath she was wearing home clothes. When I want to get out of his room. He heard his phone vibrate a sign of a message notification.
💌 Assalamualaikum...Missy. Sorry I did not keep my promise. I was busy at the office. And sorry just now I'm calling you.
From the handsome Rector.
Alya did not reply. Alya put her phone again on her dresser. Alya went downstairs to get to her mommy and papi.
"Mii. Where's my grandpa?" ask Alya.
"Your grandfather, he said he went to study a group where his friend" replied Mami Laras.
"Keep papi where?"
"But you're in his study."
"Mommy again what the hell?."
"Mommy wants to make a cake. Your sister called. He asked for a chocolate cake."
"How much a boy to do."
"That's what Kei is."
"Alya back knack first yes mi." he said while kissing the cheek of the mother.
Evening day came. Reyhan's family had gathered at the dinner table. They will enjoy dinner together.
I heard the sound of someone coming to see you.
"Sorry madam, sir. Mr. Rio's coming." said the house assistant's aunt.
"Sir Rio? Tell me to join here bi." Reyhan asked.
Alya was shocked to hear the aunt's words. Rio came to his house. What's up?.
"Good night, Mr. Rey. Madam Laras." greet Rio.
"Ah.mari Mr. Rio. What a coincidence. We want dinner again. Let's all of you Mr. Rio eat with us." Reyhan bargained.
"Thank you, Mr. Rey. With pleasure." he replied.
Rio sat next to Alya. They're very close. Unbeknownst to Rey and Laras. Rio whispered something to Alya.
"I'm sorry Miss." whispered Rio.
Alya looked towards Rio. He just nodded his head. Without Alya noticing, Rio grasped Alya's hand.
Alya wanted to pull it. But Rio held it in.
They all enjoyed a warm dinner.
