LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Proud Attitude

That afternoon after attending two courses, Anjani and Meli immediately headed for the shophouse. Anjani's heart flowered, continuing to ring the words of Mario.

Just a minute. God willing, I will soon have good intentions towards you.

Anjani's smile returned. Mario's words were still so clear in his memory.

“Sst. Anjani's. Want to come in or smile there?” Meli is straddling in front of the entrance of the shophouse.

“Ups. Ja. Come log in!” Anjani steps cheerfully into the shophouse.

Greetings and smiles Rangga immediately welcomed the arrival of Anjani and Meli. Both hands Rangga full with piles of shoe boxes that have been packed. Rangga immediately put all the neatly-packed orders near the entrance. There are fifteen packing.

“Wow. Pretty also order segini.” Meli eyes sparkling.

“Alhamdulillaah's chat. Many fans,” said Rangga with gasping breath.

“You look exhausted, Mas.” Anjani observes Rangga's face.

“Only lack of sleep overnight,” said Rangga while focusing on checking one by one packing that is ready to be transported by delivery services.

“Let me help. You rest first in the top bed.” Anjani was about to snatch the paper that Rangga was holding.

Rangga did not take off the paper he was holding. It made Meli a little anxious because Anjani and Rangga were holding the same paper. Meli was worried that something would happen that was not-no, so she quickly seized the paper.

“Let me just. I am also an employee here. Anjani bookkeeping checks and sales results from Monday only. Appropriate or not. Brother Rangga just rest on top. Body stamina is number one to support performance,” said Meli.

Rangga scratching his head. He's nodding. His eyes need to be closed for a moment. And so did Anjani. He also complied and headed straight for the cashier's desk.

“Trus, are you alone? Mario boss and Ken are still on campus, you know.” Rangga had not yet moved from where he stood.

“Let me accompany,” said Dika who just arrived.

Meli. Meli smiled at a glance at Dika's smile that was addressed to her.

Seeing Dika's presence, Rangga rushed towards the second floor and closed his eyes. Rangga will make the most of his time in order to get back to work.

“Where is your lecture, Mel?” ask Dika for pleasantries. He helped to tidy up the packing that Meli had checked.

“Alhamdulillaah,” Meli replied briefly while staying focused.

Some of the courses taken by Dika are indeed not the same as the schedule taken by Anjani and Meli. Like that day, the two courses he took were completely different schedules. They did not meet each other on campus.

Done it. The freight forwarder came. Meli rushes to call Anjani and asks her to settle the delivery bill. In fifteen minutes, everything is in order.

“I go upstairs first. Want to check the size of the shoes whose stock is thinning. You're the same here, yeah. Who knows if there are customers who look around for shoes. Yes, Dika. While checking the olshop too, yes. Later after Rangga woke up just tell him.” Anjani enthusiastic.

Meli nodded and gave her thumb. While Dika immediately took a smartphone to check the olshop.

“Anjani already looks much healthier.” Dika re-open the chat while replying to the chat from olshop customers via the application.

“Alhamdulillaah's chat. It was better than fever like before.” Suddenly Meli remembered when Anjani was acting strangely, hugging Mario and almost kissing.

“Do not again,” added Meli while shaking her head.

“What's not to do again?” ask Dika who does not understand.

“I mean don't let Anjani get sick like that again.” Meli.

Dika. The chat between the two did not continue because there was a young mother holding her son entering the shophouse. Meli put her hands down. Meli is so capable of serving customers. It didn't take long, a pair of shoes sold.

“Keren also you, Mel.” Dika praised Meli.

“His wife Mas Azka is so loh,” says Meli is proud.

As soon as Azka's name was called, Dika was instantly lost for words. Dika distract by listing the shoe order via olshop. However, Dika remained there while accompanying Meli on guard.

Two minutes passed without a conversation. Meli is getting bored. He used to be excited and did not feel good to be silent. He saw that Dika was still cool to record one by one order. Recorded it in a bookkeeper made Anjani the other day.

Looks like there is something new from her appearance Dika, Meli's inner.

Meli's guess is right. If you pay attention again the hair cut Dika different. Neater, a little thin, and Dika put on hair oil. A black circular watch on his left wrist. The fragrance of the perfume Dika wore was also different from usual. This time it was more stinging and fragrant.

Although Meli was aware of Dika's appearance, she was reluctant to discuss let alone praise her new appearance. Meli does not want Dika to think of things. In order to drive away the saturation, Meli rushed to take a smartphone and ViCall Azka, her beloved husband.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, My dear.” Meli answered Azka's greeting with a spoiled smile.

The deg!

He immediately stopped writing. Dika turned her head and found Meli was making out with her husband. Although Dika was determined to move on, but still all that took time.

“Every day I mourn too, really. Just like Mas Azka, love. Hehe.” Meli still has friendly words via ViCall.

Combalan after sombalan was clearly heard in Dika's ears. As much as possible Dika muffle his feelings. He tried to re-focus on writing, but could not.

“No need for me to break. Just wait for Azka. Want to enjoy it together Mas Azka,” whine Meli, sounds so spoiled.

Duh, what are these two talking about? Inner Dika.

Dika was completely unfocused. Dika who originally intended to refocus on writing, immediately put the pen. Free, he failed to focus.

“IIiii. Later if Mas Azka comes home. Baregan, yes.” Meli just keeps on pitched.

“Sst. Mel. Sungkan dikit dong same single. The heat of this horror,” protest Dika who can no longer bear listening to the intimacy of Meli-Azka.

“Sana-sana. I'm in the packing section!” have Meli lower her voice, while covering the smartphone screen so that it does not look Azka.

“Aamiin.” Meli agreed and shook her hand, giving the code to Dika leave immediately.

Dika is not upset with Meli-Azka's affection. Dika is only annoyed at him who still can not control his jealousy.

“I have to fall in love with another person. It was the only way that I could quickly forget about Meli,” Dika thought seriously.

“Aaaah, but where can. Anybody wants to be with me!” Dika held his head.

Meanwhile on the second floor of the shophouse. Anjani was busy checking the stock size of the shoes. Anjani is so meticulous, not wanting to make a mistake. Just another pile of shoes. Anjani is trying to reach the top pile.

Bruk!

Several piles of shoes collapsed and hit Anjani's face. Rangga who fell asleep on the bed immediately woke up and rushed to Anjani.

“Astaghfirullah, Turkey. You okay?” Rangga panic.

“It's okay. Just surprised,” said Anjani.

“Let me clear this. I changed the pile so it's not too high anymore. You just sit there. Wait, let me get you a drink.” Rangga.

Anjani wants to prevent Rangga, but the hunt goes. Anjani becomes uneasy on her own with Rangga's good treatment of her.

“It's drinking. Drink up, yeah. I'll stay for a while.” Rangga was very attentive to Anjani.

“Em, Mas Rangga continued only the rest. Let me be the right one later. After all I made it collapse,” bargain Anjani.

“I'll do. You just sit here,” replied Rangga, then turned to the pile of shoe boxes.

How can I rest if what disturbs my sleep is you, Anjani. Ah, Boss is lucky to know you first. Inner Rangga.

Anjani noticed Rangga's diligence in working. It is only fair if Mario chooses him as an employee and entrusts the key to the shophouse to him. Feeling bad just to stay silent and watch Rangga, Anjani also came down to work on the others with Meli.

***

On campus. Mario and Ken have just finished a course class that was led by Mr. Koko.

“Why not ask your father's men to take care of it? Should you intervene? They're not Anjani's family, you know. The woman was only the second wife of her father Anjani. Separated his bed with his father Anjani. Why else should the information be corrected. No matter, Bro!” Ken threw out his mind.

“I want to make sure myself, Ken. Making sure the woman has no intention of ruining Anjani's family relationship anymore,” replied Mario casually.

“Yakin?” ask Ken.

Mario nodded steadily.

“Again Uncle Li and his men have got the latest information. His father's second wife Anjani, who was staying with his children, apparently cheated on him with another man. Even to have children. Anjani's father did not know about the rot. He only knew his wife had left because of uncertain economic circumstances,”, said Mario.

Ken doesn't understand Mario's mind. However, he tried to understand his decision. All that to help reunite his family Anjani.

“Good. Want me to get company?” Ken offered himself.

“No need, Ken. I'm afraid you're throwing a tantrum and screwing up my plan,” joked Mario with a look in his face.

As was commonly done on Juno, this time Ken snapped Mario's head. A small rarity sounded later.

“Eh, Bro. Btw, seriously you have given Anjani a code?” ask Ken who doesn't believe it yet.

“Already. Meli. I'm seriously going to propose to Anjani again, Ken. Dad, Mommy Monika, and Alenna have already prepared with that.” Mario smiled happily explaining it.

“Wah, congratulations. Finally your guts back too,” praise Ken.

“But, I still want to unite the Anjani family first. I'll make sure it won't take long. Because I also want to immediately feel the same happiness as Meli and Mas Azka. I want to make Anjani happy soon. Guard it wholeheartedly. Endowment of inner birth. Loving her with ...” Mario's words on Ken.

“Enough! You made me a baper. Make it happen!” Ken patted Mario on the shoulder.

Mario's smile expands. Yes, Mario is impatient to complete his mission, so he can soon marry the Anjani he loves so much.

***

After performing the dhuhur prayer service, Anjani serves a shop visitor who comes with his best friend. Anjani always accompanies the detailed description of the shoes with a friendly tone and smile. A huge success, the shopkeeper immediately bought three pairs of shoes with the best quality and price in the store.

"The return is thirty thousand rupiah," said Meli kindly.

"Thank you for shopping at our store." Anjani handed over a package containing three pairs of shoes to the buyer.

After the visitors came home, Anjani and Meli compactly exchanged lyrics and then said hamdalah together.

"Anjani, I whispered but don't be surprised?" pinta Meli's.

"Shocked?" The curious Anjani got closer.

"From yesterday I was mergokin Rangga's sister was watching you. Sometimes smile to themselves" whispered Meli.

"Times, anyway?" Anjani does not believe.

Meli shrugged her shoulders. Meli just told Anjani. Meanwhile, Anjani tries not to think things through.

Maybe Mas Rangga only pays attention to the way I serve customers. No more, thought Anjani.
