LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Getting Closer to Rangga

The school routine is going as it should be. Hearing the explanation of lecturers, quizzes, group assignments, papers, and even presentations has become a habit that is increasingly honing Anjani's knowledge and abilities in the field of economics.

The shop was also his concern. Gradually Anjani was getting used to dividing time between college and his responsibilities in the shophouse. For weeks, Anjani has followed his routine. Anjani also witnessed a sharp increase in shoe sales both in the store and via oderan olshop.

“Mel, leave a moment that note. Drink this!” Anjani offers a glass of orange ice.

“Heem.” Meli grabbed her drink and immediately gulped without turning her face away from the computer screen.

The face of Meli changed immediately. Obviously Meli resisted the sensation of pain.

“It's ice? Quick cold!” chirps Meli. His view was diverted from the computer screen.

Anjani idly attaches a container of orange ice to Meli's cheeks.

“Aw, what a fad. Here kucubiiiit!” Amused, preparing to land a pinch to Anjani's nose.

Anjani chuckled and took a few steps back to dodge. Sloppy. Anjani means to retreat to avoid the pinch of Meli, uh he fell into the arms of a man.

Anjani who retreated without paying attention around immediately nudged Rangga who happened to pass by. Anjani steps on Rangga's foot. Due to the uneven footing and shock of Rangga made Anjani shocked and wrongly determine the position of his legs. Anjani is entangled in her own legs and almost falls out of balance.

Deg-deg-deg!

Rangga's heart beat sounded. The rhythm is too fast. Anjani's body is still supported. The beautiful girl who managed to mess up her sleep successfully made her flutter. Their faces could be said to be too close.

“Ehem.” Dika cleared from the orderan packing place.

Rangga kelegapan and immediately release Anjani's body. Rangga took off without warning, making Anjani back in the dune and rounding his eyes. Meli quickly rushed to hold Anjani's body. Unfortunately Meli is not strong and even follow fell with Anjani.

“Duuuuh!” moly Meli spontaneous.

“What are you doing, anyway?” Dika who is uncomfortable to pay attention to the drama made by his friends also shouted.

“Em. You okay?” ask Rangga to Anjani.

“It's okay, Mas.” Anjani replied without looking at Rangga.

“I fell too, nih! Is there nothing I am asking for? Mas Azkaaaa, Meli fell. Huaaa. I'd like to see you, Mas. Want to hug kiss.” Meli. Intentionally, making a diversion so that Rangga is not too focused on stealing Anjani's attention.

“Mel. Already.” Anjani nudges Meli's shoulder.

Meli was about to laugh, but as much as possible held back. Mission succeeded. Rangga no longer focused on Anjani's face.

“I helped Dika first. Anjani, be careful.” Rangga passed by after giving a smile to Anjani.

Anjani returned Rangga's smile. That makes Meli a little dislike. Not that Meli is jealous of Rangga's attitude to her best friend. Meli just wants Anjani to keep herself from getting stuck in a love triangle. Mario-Anjani-Range. Ahhhhh. That can't happen. Meli does not want the story of Mario-Anjani-Juno repeated again. Fortunately, Juno is currently keeping a distance from Anjani, otherwise I don't know what will happen.

Not bored Meli reminded Anjani about this. However, Anjani considers all treatment Rangga is reasonable. Anjani is convinced that Rangga has no special feelings for her.

“Take it easy, Mel. Nothing will happen.” Anjani reassures Meli.

“Huft.” Meli took a slow breath, then nodded.

Shop visitors came back and changed. Really Friday's blessing. Ruko visitors bountiful. Anjani assisted Meli alternately serve buyers with friendly. There were fifteen pairs of shoes that they managed to sell until that afternoon.

Anjani smiled happily. He really enjoyed his routine. Occasionally Anjani and Meli also do college assignments. Finishing it with Meli in between the activity of guarding the shophouse. The view is already there. Dika and Ken did too. Mario is not like that. Sometimes Anjani is so curious about the way Mario divides time between lectures, takes care of shophouses, even helping the company of the father who is increasingly mushrooming in many cities.

“After I marry Mario, will he also split his time for me?” Anjani wondered in her heart.

The voice of someone calling her name made Anjani wake up from the daydream. Anjani listened carefully, and again she heard a voice calling out to her. Apparently Rangga called him.

“I met Mas Rangga first. Looks like something important.” Anjani hints at Meli for a break first.

“Iya, huh. I want to chat with Ratna. Or maybe brother-in-law. Mother-in-law can also. Or maybe .... ViCall Mas Azka's. Hehe.” Meli started to smile indistinctly. Anjani.

There were no more visitors, so Anjani left Meli alone near the cashier's desk. Anjani meets Rangga and immediately asks for the need to call him.

Is correct. Rangga needs his help. There was one of the olshop customers who filed a protest because the color of the shoes sent did not match the order.

“Try checking the transaction history,” pinta Anjani.

He complied and went back to checking. There was no mistake found at all. Delivery is appropriate. The code listed in the transaction history with special bookkeeping olshop orders is appropriate. That is what makes Rangga astonished. Why can the goods received by consumers can be different colors.

“There are many factors. It could be that the color code listed on the box is different from the contents. Next time we make sure also to check the contents,” said Anjani.

Rangga. “How to do this?” ask again.

“Send only one box as per order. No need to return. Give a gift as an apology. Let me reply to the chat. I'll tell Mario about this later.” Anjani takes a stand.

Anjani took over the smartphone that Rangga held. Jemari Anjani nimbly replied to the chat of the customer who filed his protest. A few minutes passed, Anjani's smile began to crack.

“Alhamdulillaah's chat. This one's sorted out. Please first order this one, yes.” Anjani kindly asks Rangga.

Rangga. Without Anjani realizing it, Rangga was busy admiring him. Chests rumbling. The fact that Anjani is Boss' lover is completely unable to prevent her feelings. Rangga did not regret it, because the feeling that flowed within him felt so beautiful.

“Mas Rangga,” call Anjani.

“Hem? Yes?” Rangga who just realized from his imagination also tried to focus.

“Yakin Mas Rangga do not need one more helper? Let Mas Rangga's task be a little light. Mario said, Mas Rangga often work until late at night.” Anjani wants to hear Rangga's explanation for himself.

Rangga smiled. In Rangga's heart was so happy because it felt Anjani was so attentive to him.

“Good.” Anjani can't force.

Anjani was about to move, back to Meli's place. However, Rangga again invited Anjani to chat. Anjani seemed to enjoy his chat with Rangga. Moreover, occasionally Rangga slipped a dime humor but was able to make Anjani laugh. The longer, Anjani gets more familiar with Rangga and Anjani enjoys it.

It's so good to see your cheerful face, Anjani. Boss, I'm sorry I can't hold back my feelings. Inner Rangga.

Dika has since become a witness of the closeness of Anjani and Rangga. However, Dika cuek only. Not to interfere with the affairs of another's heart. How could he take care of the hearts of others, his own heart could not be overcome.

“Anjani, tuh!” dika Code. There are other visitors.

“OK. Go ahead first, yes.” Anjani.

Rangga continued to see the figure of Anjani until he was not seen again.

“Ehem! Already gone!” chirps Dika.

“Eh, are you thirsty? Have a drink first!” Rangga offered a glass of orange ice.

Dika who is not out of thought with the mind path Rangga also chose indifferently. A glass of orange ice offered by Rangga. She smiled, thanked him and drank it straight away.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, Ken arrived. It was actually an hour ago that Ken finished his last lecture that day, but Ken stopped by the flower shop Kak Lisa first. Alas, buy a flower while greeting the Diamond there.

“Kak, Mario where?” ask Anjani.

“Looks like a new night here. He's going to Alenna's office. His father asked for it. Ordinary, business affairs,” explained Ken.

Anjani was a little disappointed. Some days he did not meet Mario. Communication is done via phone and chat if there is urgent business. Anjani understood, Mario's position was important to help his father's company. Mario is so reliable. It is only right if it takes a lot of people.

“Better you guys go home soon and rest,” advises Ken on Anjani and Meli.

“Betul. Especially you Anjani. Didn't you get a fever again yesterday?” Rangga came closer while carrying a pair of shoes that he would display on the shelf.

Anjani. Yesterday Anjani had a fever again. As usual, Anjani is too worried about some things, especially yesterday after Anjani accidentally crossed paths with her biological father. There are past wounds that still gawk. Making Anjani a little more often remembered with the pain.

“Ta-but yesterday I wasn't acting strange.” Anjani defended herself.

“Yes, you didn't hug me again like back then, really. Good thing there is Meli who is aware of your condition.” Rangga smiled sweetly reminding Anjani of yesterday's incident.

“Already, no need to discuss. That was yesterday. It's a new day now. Tomorrow will be a new day. There will be new steps and happiness.” Meli.

“I'd love to see a wise Meli like this,” praise Anjani.

Meli approached and whispered in Anjani's ear. “For example I am not with you in this shophouse, take good care of yourself. Don't come near Rangga. If there are symptoms of fever directly contact Kak Mario, if you can do not come to the shophouse.”

“God's Insya. Our schedule is always together. Mel. Must be with you. Uh, where do you plan to go?” tanya Anjani also whispered.

“Andai. This is supposition, Anjani Darling. If I had suddenly gone out of town or maybe kidnapped my husband, I would not have been able to accompany you. So remember, keep your distance with Kak Rangga,” Meli whispered again.

"Suuts. Does Mas Azka have the intention to kidnap you? When?" Whispers continue.

"Heady right? Want to know when?" sedi, keep whispering.

“Hey, you two are not very polite. There are two cool guys in front of you. Must have been gossiping, right?” accuse Ken.

“Astaghfirullah. Ken Suudzon's. Yes, let's go home Anjani!” Meli pulls Anjani's arm.

“Mas Rangga, Brother Ken, we go home first. Assalamu’alaikum.” Anjani followed Meli's steps.

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” replied Rangga and Ken alternately.

Anjani and Meli leave the shophouse. Meli deliberately let Anjani with her sense of kepony. Meli deliberately did not tell a lot so that Anjani kept kepo, so as not to think of anything else that did not make him feverish.

***

Mario looks tired. The last few days Mario often visited the shophouse when night fell. Sometimes not visiting at all. So much Mario takes care of. He was halfway through his mission. Mario has been able to familiarize himself with Anjani's biological father. In fact, this weekend Mario has planned to visit Ma in the village, of course secretly while taking Anjani's biological father along with him.

“Anjani,” muttered Mario while smiling.

Mario misses the woman he loves. He hasn't seen face to face in a long time. Remembering Anjani makes Mario remember Ken's story about Rangga who looks so close to Anjani while in the shophouse.

“Although I was jealous of Rangga at that time, but I am sure he will not dare to take Anjani from me.” Mario is so sure.

In contrast to the thought of Mario, Rangga had planned something. Not a rotten plan to take down Mario's business. Rangga only plans to get closer to Anjani and express his feelings.

“As long as the yellow janur hasn't curved, I still have a chance. After all Anjani and Boss have nothing to do. So I have the right to try it. If necessary I will immediately invite Anjani to marry. I am ready to work hard to be able to support it,” thought Rangga in between his activities checking orders.

Rangga who has long been in the world of work and more often associate with adults certainly makes his thinking more mature. When he decided to marry Anjani was not spared his thoughts. He had calculated it maturely. Rangga was so sure that he forgot the power Mario had.

“It looks like this weekend I have to reveal it to Anjani. Yes, the sooner the better. I will express my feelings to Anjani, tomorrow!” Rangga made a decision.

Connect ....

Will Anjani follow Meli's advice to keep her distance from Rangga? Is Rangga's plan implemented? How does Mario react if he knows Rangga's plan? Follow the follow-up, yes.
