LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Happy Daily (3)

"You recorded my cool act, huh?" With his PeDenya Mario said that.

"That's fine. The footage I've shared with friends as well, and soon they'll be here" Anjani explained with a smile.

"What?" exclaim Mario, surprise.

Mario was shocked to hear Anjani say that. Mario's action video in playing the doll's claw machine has been spread. Sooner or later, Mario will be invaded by Ken, Juno, and others. Not why-why. It's just that, as Mario recalls, so much silly behavior he showed in front of Anjani.

Anjani still smiles sweetly while holding the duck doll that Mario just obtained from the doll clipping machine. Anjani did not feel at all hesitant let alone feel guilty for spreading a video of Mario playing a doll claw machine.

Mario tried to calm down. He saw Anjani who was smiling sweetly while playing a duck doll. Mario smiled seeing Anjani smile.

“Anjani, may I know why you shared my cool action video?” mario asked, and still slipped PeDean into his words.

“Ngak papa, anyway. Like it,” Anjani replied casually without fading her smile.

"Like it?" Mario really does not believe that Anjani will like his cool action.

"You like it because my action was cool, huh? Until he managed to get the duck doll," he asked again.

Anjani laughs. White teeth are also visible. Not wanting to be seen laughing too wide, the palm was used to cover his laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" mario asked, something strange.

Anjani's laughter died down. "That's what you're funny about, Mario. Haha. Rarely does a Mario behave like that" Anjani explained, laughing again. "Ehem. It will certainly be exciting if this video is shared also to group chat friends one generation," Anjani idea.

"Don't do it!" mario quickly shouted.

Mario quickly stepped closer to Anjani. He tried to seize Anjani's smartphone with the intention to delete the video earlier.

"Eh-uh. Don't try, yeah!" Anjani's hand nimbly moved her smartphone to the other side.

Mario smiled, as if at peace. However, Mario's nimble hand again tried to seize the Anjani smartphone.

"Yeeee. Can't!" exclaim Anjani while taking a few steps back to avoid Mario who was about to seize his smartphone.

"Anjanin. Let me delete the video," said Mario softly while still smiling.

"No way!" reject Anjani.

Mario came back closer and tried to seize Anjani's smartphone. This time Anjani was more agile and chose to dodge, staying away from Mario. The laughter of both did not fade. The joke that they both made made made the two forget about. It was as if there were only the two of them there, still joking.

"Anjani, hurry up or ...." Mario's words stopped.

Anjani raised next to her eyebrows. "Or what, Mario?"

"Or ...." Mario did not continue his words. He stepped slowly.

"Or I'll take it" Juno said and managed to retrieve Anjani's smartphone.

Yes, Juno arrived. Juno laughs at Mario's silly action video with the doll clipping machine.

"Mas Ken saw the video?" juno asked while holding back a laugh. But in the end, the laughter broke out.

"I've seen it on Diamond's smartphone. Such a video should not be missed at all," said Ken, then laugh.

"Sister Mario, I just saw you this whole night." Dika chimed in.

Meli, Diamond, Alenna, and Vina who had just arrived laughed. They have all watched Mario action videos alongside the doll clipping machine.

"Sir Mario is cool, really." Meli praised, but her laughter also broke earlier.

"Ehem. For what sake is Mario to be persistent to conquer the machine?" Diamonds asked.

Mario had just wanted to answer, but Vina was the first to answer. "Yes for guelah. Mario trained hard because he wanted to get a doll for me. Come, Mario. I want a teddy bear in that machine. You have to get it for Vina's sake" Vina's pinta.

"No want! Just ask Juno to play it." Mario even thrust Juno.

"Why do I have to, Mom?" Juno.

"Vin, you buy one there. Tuh-tuh-tuh much," Alenna suggested.

"Relieve it!" answer Vina briefly.

"Judek. Whatever. Em .... Guys, let's go to the ice cream shop. This time I'm the deal." Alenna brought her friends.

Alenna was welcomed by her friends. Anjani, Meli, Berlian, Vina, Dika, Ken, and Juno walked to the ice cream shop which is still one area with the shopping center. Each of them had brought their own goods. Meanwhile, Alenna deliberately walked at the very back because she intended to chat with her brother, Mario.

"Why the duck doll you chose, Mario. Cows are more adorable" Alenna half-whispered. He was discussing the doll that Mario managed to get while playing the doll clipping machine.

"The fire won't. Only ducks are willing," replied Mario casually.

"Ih. What kind of answer is that." Alenna chuckles. "But ... Good Job's. Although it looks silly, my brother is already trying to make Anjani laugh. Hidhi. Bye-bye." Alenna quickly moved away and taught her friends steps.

Mario smiled knot. Although it looked silly, but all day he felt happy with his friends, especially Anjani.

***

In an ice cream parlor, everything looks a lot quieter. Not much chatter made. They look late enjoying the ice cream of each order.

Pop music at the ice cream shop makes the atmosphere more relaxed. In addition to Anjani and his friends, there are also some other visitors who also enjoy ice cream there.

"Anjani, it looks like our friend is being hit by a pink virus. He was smiling to himself" said Diamond.

"Who do you mean?" ask Anjani.

"Meli" replied Diamond.

New chat is created. Look at what was the subject of their language.

"Me?" Meli pointed at herself.

"Yes, you. From earlier read the message from who the hell is smiling like that," teased Diamond.

Meli couldn't help herself from smiling when Diamond teased her.

"Mas Azka, huh?" guess Anjani.

Again Meli could not help herself not to smile.

"Ra-ha-si-a," said Meli while still smiling to herself.

Meli's friends already know what Meli has experienced while in Jogja at that time. Meli loses her wallet, and is helped by a man named Azka. Ken, Juno, Mario, Vina, and Alenna are all casual when Anjani and Berlian tease Meli by mentioning Azka by name. But not with Dika. Suddenly something strange happened to him.

"You guys say the name Azka only. Poor Meli, tuh. Surely he would be tempted with you," protested Dika.

"What the hell, Dik. Wanna take a storm? Obviously I was seduced. Huo!" Meli doesn't accept.

"Shhh. Already," said Anjani.

"Slow, Brother." Juno mediates.

"Seriously very you," chirped Vina.

Suddenly Dika was upset because he got a protest from Meli. Actually Dika does not like to see the flowery expression of Meli when the name Azka is called. Yes, there is jealousy in Dika. However, Dika was too prestigious to admit it.

"Ehem. Fellows. Thank you for taking a walk with me today. I hope our friendship will continue to be established wherever we are" Mario said suddenly.

"Yeah, Mom. Formally very. Like a farewell," Juno chirped.

Ken quickly glanced at Mario. He suspects that Mario will soon say goodbye to his friends right then and there. However, apparently Mario did not do it, and Ken did not dare to offend him.

***

Shopping and eating ice cream together is over. Mario is happy. Likewise with his friends, except Dika who at the end was even made sewot because he could not master his jealousy.

Diamond and Vina have headed for their respective cars. Juno and Ken are seen berahili Dika to return cheerful to get to the car. Anjani and Meli are walking towards Alenna's car.

I entered first. When Anjani was about to get into the car, Mario called out to him.

"Anjani," call Mario.

Anjani snuck in the car. "Yes, what's wrong?" ask Anjani.

Mario smiled as he looked at the beautiful eyeballs of Anjani. Feeling Mario continue to look at him, Anjani was quickly bowed, then repeated the question again.

"What's wrong?" ask Anjani again, and now her head is raised.

"Take care of yourself" said Mario.

"Em, God willing. Thank you for the happiness you bring to me and my friends today. Thanks to the cow and the duck. Hehe." Anjani laughed lightly.

"Either. Assalamu'alaikum, "greetings Mario.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Anjani replied, waving, then rushing into Alenna's car.

Anjani smiled, then gave thanks.

"Cie. The new one can duck," seduced Meli.

"Cie." Alenna on the steering wheel followed tease.

"Cie, who was smiling all the time because she remembered Mas Azka." Anjani teases Meli back, and soon followed by laughter by Alenna.

"Anjanin .... How do you tempt me, anyway. Later I will fall in love with Mas Azka how?" meli protests with the behavior of children.

"If so, then I will doain. May you be a match" Anjani prayed.

"Aamiin," said Meli and Alenna loudly.

A light laugh enveloped Alenna's car during the trip. Small talk is also created, including the discussion about the holidays.

"Anjani tomorrow so go home?" ask Alenna.

"God willing, it will not be" Anjani replied.

"Well, how come it's not? Why?" Meli is curious about Anjani's plan which suddenly changes.

"It turns out Ma is the same cab business partner there is an event out of town to learn modern planting matches. Ma's cool, right?" Anjani.

"Wow. It's amazing!" puji Alenna's.

"Why are you on vacation?" ask Meli.

"Of course. See you later, deh!" Anjani has no other plans.

Meli was actually about to propose for a vacation to Jogja, all of you learn more about olshop with Via and Ratna. But Meli said it. Meli was still thinking about it, because honestly the one she wanted to meet the most was Azka, the hero she met in Jogja.

***

In John's family mansion. Alenna runs to the second floor balcony to meet her brother, Mario.

"Have you called?" ask Alenna to Mario.

Mario nodded. A smile on his face.

"Alhamdulillaahafemore. Fortunately, you did not say goodbye to friends," said Alenna relieved.

"But Ken I haven't told you that I'm off overseas. Let him stir himself when he finds out. Lookatthis. Ken gave me a parting gift." Mario chuckles softly while showing Ken a gift hoodie.

"Haha. Surely Ken will protest," guess Alenna.

Mario is still smiling. To be honest it was a smile of gratitude. Mario is grateful that he did not move to study abroad.

"Dad's plans are fickle, but I'm happy that mom will be living with us in Indonesia. Yeee!" Alenna ecstatic.

"God's plan is beautiful" said Mario gratefully.

Previously John was very hopeful that Mario moved to college abroad, where Alenna's mother was located. John hopes that Mario is willing to be closer to Alenna's mother until he can slowly think of her as his own biological mother.

At that time Mario was willing, because he respected his father's request. But John makes a change of plan. Mario doesn't need to move to college. It is precisely Alenn's mother who will come and live in Indonesia.

Anjani, I am grateful that I still have the opportunity to be around you. Inner Mario.
