LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Trying to Get used to

“Fuck you, Leon!” exclaim Vina while stepping into Leon's workspace.

That afternoon during the office lunch break had already passed since a few minutes ago, Vina walked hurriedly and directly barged into Leon's study. In that room, Leon was not alone. Two employees are reporting their work. Finding a less than pleasant look from Vina, Leon immediately stood up from his chair. Soon Leon also told two employees to return to his study room with the promise of discussion will continue later.

Vina stood up while putting on a cynical face. Her pretty face was filled with a black aura, making the two Leon employees in the room frightened to see her. It was only after the two employees left the room that Vina approached Leon's desk while maintaining her cynical face.

“Please sit down first, Vin.” Leon tried to stay friendly, allowing Vina to sit on the sofa of the room.

“I don't want to stay here long. As if you were scolding me, saying ‘ember’, can't keep your mouth shut. Agora, dong! We're both involved in John's defamation case. Why do you blame me now, ha?” Vina at length threw a protest at Leon while showing the chat that this morning sent Leon to him. Chat contains Leon's curse on Vina.

“Sorry, Vin. I shouldn't have scolded you like that. I was emotionally stirred this morning. I was more like panicking. Sorry,” said Leon.

“Cih!” vina cursed while throwing his face.

“Alenna said it would not release the recording, nor would it tell Mr. John or Mario. I made sure of it. So, now as much as possible we should take Alenna's heart again. You especially, if your desire to return close to Mario materialized.” Leon explained his thoughts.

Vina's cynical face faded as her mind began to digest Leon's words. The change in Vina's facial expression made Leon smile inwardly. There was a sense of relief there, because Leon thought that Vina had been consumed by his thoughts. Leon's happy face was increasingly drawn when he saw Vina nodding, agreeing with Leon.

“Alright, this time I forgive you. Let's put together a plan to take Alenna's heart. If it could be not just Alenna, but Mario too. I really want it,” explains Vina again.

“Oke, agreed! At the beginning it might be a little difficult, especially to take Mario's heart, but you have to get used to it. I'm sure a Vina will definitely get what she wants,” Leon added.

Vina smiled at Leon's words, especially the last sentence, ‘a Vina will definitely get what she wants’.

“Then I go home first. Don't let me read that swearing message from you again!” threaten Vina's.

“Not going. Appointment!” firmly Leon.

Vina immediately turned around to immediately leave Leon's room. However, as soon as he reached the doorway Vina stopped stepping and turned around.

"Some left behind?” ask Leon.

“Later tonight my father wants to meet at home. There's business chat. Waiting!” clearly Vina.

“Good. I'll see him tonight. Thank you, Vin.” Leon responded well to Vina, displaying his friendly smile.

Vina turned around, hurried to leave the room. This time Vina actually left the room, making Leon extremely Relieved.

“Huft. I have to be careful with Vina. I know he's sneaky. My rot could've spilled into the media,” muttered Leon.

In Mario's house

Alenna dyed peek into some rooms in the house while calling the name Mario. Alenna had asked security, the cook, even the luxury home gardener about the existence of Mario. No one knows where Mario is. Security told Alenna it was likely that Mario had boarded the delivery car a few hours ago parked in the yard. The delivery car in question is John's company car that usually delivers goods to the house.

“Ran, yes. Why also Mario does not say goodbye to anyone if you go. Don't-don't really Mario stuck in the delivery car. Well, if Mario really goes from home how, dong?” Alenna vented her panic in front of Juno.

After unsuccessfully persuading Anjani, Alenna and Juno go to lunch together. Because she was too worried about her brother, Alenna also became unsettled while waiting for lunch orders to arrive. Not having the heart to see his lover restless, Juno also gave the idea that the food should be wrapped. Alenna even took the initiative to order a packet of fried rice petai for Mario.

“Mario! My dear brother, where are you? I brought your favorite fried rice petai, here. Come, appear!” exclaim Alenna.

Juno's feelings back then were half-and-half. Half worried, half wanting to laugh seeing Alenna's funny behavior. The beautiful boule of her lover did indeed have a funny expression while being confused.

“Mario really likes petai fried rice? Since when?” tanya Juno who had been curious.

“Iya. My brother really likes fried rice petai. Since he knew Anjani. When their marriage was canceled, Mario often cooked his own fried rice petai,” explained Alenna.

“Eh? Until you cook yourself? Can Mario cook?” Juno was astonished for the entire time.

“At first I liked the gosong. Aunts in the kitchen to the point of fear my brother would burn down the kitchen. I was the one who was grumbling at the time. Maybe because of the power of my brother's love for Anjani, long ago Mario used to cook fried rice. The last time I tried to taste Mario's cuisine it was delicious, you know.” Alenna explained enthusiastically.

The discussion of petai fried rice succeeded in making Alenna's worries less. Juno was also enthusiastic about discussing it. After hearing Alenna tell me about the fried rice petai made by Mario, Juno suddenly wanted to taste the cuisine.

“Mario! Brother darling! Where are you?” yell Alenna again.

“Ah, start again, deh!” Juno muttered.

“Alenna,” call Juno while patting Alenna on the shoulder.

Alenna turned her head with a face that was parched. Juno was anxious to see that expression.

“That's see!” juno code while pointing to the corner of the room on the side of a large flower vase.

In the corner of the room, on the side of a large vase looks one medium-sized suitcase. The suitcase is Mario's. Upon seeing the suitcase, Alenna was immediately happy and immediately ran around to visit the suitcase. The suitcase even hugged him.

“I'm anxious to see you. So I let it go first. Hehehe.” Juno could not help but let go of her laughter.

“Huh. Warm jahil!” exclaim Alenna.

The protest did not last long. The frown on Alenna's face was gone. Alenna was sure her brother would return home soon. After that, it just felt a sense of relief. With Juno next to her, Alenna's day was back in color.

“By the way, where is Mario currently?” muttered Alenna.

***

Not only one or two pairs of eyes were fascinated, but there were several pairs of eyes that were enchanted when it was shopping. There are those who cry out stifled, some call with the word ‘ada cogan’, others call, and not a few also steal a look at the man with black glasses and hat who was then wearing casual clothes.

Anjani who was at the mall had wondered about the attitude of mall visitors. However, Meli next to him continued to pull Anjani's hand to immediately go to the women's clothing seller. As a result, Anjani did not have time to pay attention to the others.

Cogan referred to by mall visitors, men with black eyes, hats, and wearing casual clothes was Mario who was stalking Anjani. With the special tools he has, Mario can easily find out the position of Anjani through the detection of his phone. For the Mario family to have such tools is certainly not a significant problem.

“Wow! I just chose this one. Simple and suitable to be made. Anjani, you're picky there too. I want to try this one first!” exclaim Meli enthusiastically.

“Alright,” said Anjani while giving her thumbs up.

Anjani pick out clothes that fit her. The clothing chosen is a skirt suit and long-sleeved shirt. Anjani will buy him a few pairs. The money Ma had sent from the village was more than enough, as Anjani had been saving it all along.

Choose one suit. Plain long sleeve tops pink peach color and pink subordinates combination of grey. Anjani attached the suit to her body, measuring and making sure it was a good fit. A smile can be seen decorating there.

Forty minutes passed, Anjani had managed to choose three clothing suits. Meli is also done with the choice of clothes. They both immediately took him to one of the salespeople who served there.

Footsteps Anjani and Meli continue to explore the mall. This time their footstep towards the mall section that sells veils and hijab equipment. Yes, Anjani and Meli are steady migrating. The first step to realize that intention is to close the aurat.

“Bismillaah,” said Anjani while choosing one of the veils with colors that are not too flashy.

“You choose instant hijab too?” ask Meli.

Anjani. “I'd like to buy some. There is also a wholesale price here, right? Hehe.” Anjani. His economic spirit still prevails that day.

“True too. I'd like to buy some too, huh. Totality is the hijrah. Each day can be used interchangeably. Yes, right?” I agree with Anjani.

Anjani and Meli are both enthusiastic about starting their new steps. Fingers and highlight their nimble eyes choosing the desired hijab model and color. Without the two of them noticing, from earlier there was a handsome figure who was paying attention.

“After this, you will try to get used to your new move, Anjani. So do I,” muttered Mario while smiling.

Mario continued to watch Anjani from the opposite direction. Mario's position at that time was in the Muslim men's clothing section. Although there is a dividing glass that separates the men-women fashion section, but Mario can see Anjani clearly.

I'm sorry that until this second I couldn't erase my feelings for you. Hopefully through a step of kindness, we can be reunited, Mario inner.

“Uhuk! Hi, Bro!” the sudden greeting Ken was already beside Mario.

Mario turned his head without showing a shocked expression.

“Since when did you follow me, Ken?” ask Mario.

“Since you followed Anjani into this mall. Uhuy, it's getting more exciting, huh. A Mario Dana Putra seems to have been crazy until he was willing to be a stalker,” coda Ken.

“Hm.” The typical Mario answer.

For a moment the two were silent to each other. Both Mario and Ken both pay attention to Anjani who is cool in choosing a veil.

“Mario, what do you do after this?” ask Ken suddenly.

“Buy you sarong and peci,” replied Mario then stepped away from Ken who was dumbfounded.

“What?” ken couldn't believe Mario's answer.

“Quick follow me, Ken!” exciting Mario.

"ah! All right," Ken said at the end.

Mario and Ken with their business. Anjani and Meli are also with her affairs. The two camps that were once very close, now the closeness is not the same as before, however, the intention they have is the same, he said, namely trying to get used to and continue to get used to the step of hijrah whose intentions have been on the air filling their hearts.
