"Can I know why?" Alva asked calmly, there was not the slightest coercion in her sentence.
Arana looked at Alva and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. As if he was helpless. Whenever he called her with a call of affection, he always remembered her status as Alana's replacement. When the word came out, he always felt guilty for being a liar.
Arana gave a smile. He lied, lied and kept lying. "Al, that stands for And Love. Don't you like it?"
Alva. "It's not that I don't like it, but that Al sounds ordinary. I'm not satisfied. After all, other people call me that, they won't be able to understand the meaning."
Seeing Alva's childish behavior makes Arana inevitably feel so sweet in his heart. He put on a big smile and stretched out his hand to give Alva a big hug. "Not need anyone else to know, Al. Enough of you and me, no need to understand anyone else."
"All right, I get it."
A tight hug is felt by Arana. "Listening to your explanation, I'm very happy. I thought you were embarrassed to call me with such a affectionate call."
"Sayang~" Arana lengthened her tone and made a sweet voice. "Don't think shit. How can I be ashamed, try? You are my husband, and everyone knows that. Look at this ring." Arana.
Alva's hand crawled up and held Arana's hand smaller than hers. The two sparkling golden rings clearly signified that the two were a couple.
"really. I am your husband, and you are my wife."
...***...
One week later, Arana is in college replacing Alana for the first time.
Arana's gaze floated staring at the magnificent building across there. University of San Asrea (SSA), one of the best universities in all of Indonesia.. Although referring to Private University, SSA is actually an elite university that has students from the upper class such as children of officials, critics, famous writers, top musicians, talk to actors and actresses.
It took a lot of effort from Michael and Lidia to get low-value Alana into the SSA, as value was also seen in the SSA.
The journey from the apartment to the university is almost a 30-minute drive by car, because it is quite far from the apartment.
Arana and Alva talked about this yesterday. At first, Alva proposed to buy an apartment near the campus and move there. But Arana refused because the one who would be harmed was Alva. The new apartment is definitely far from the company, and Alva is the busy CEO of Erlangga Corp. If at any time he was called because of an emergency meeting or came home, Alva would not be troubled and exhausted due to a long trip.
For reasons given by Arana, Alva finally gives up on the first decision and accepts that Arana will be picked up. Though he was worried Arana would be exhausted.
Arana herself does not matter, after all she just sits sweet and has arrived at the university and her apartment. He should feel guilty to his personal driver Agus— hired by Alva, because he was the one who would pick him up and bother to go back and forth.
After all, Arana is not only messed around by the campus.
Alana only takes a few face-to-face meetings for one week and the rest are online meetings that can be accessed using the online meeting application and the university web.
So as long as Arana's out, it doesn't matter.
Shaking the phone makes Arana open her phone and mendmikr messages from Alva.
[Have you arrived?]
With a smile on her face, Arana held up her phone and photographed the large building. [I've arrived. Are you not busy?]
The answer appeared as fast as the blink of his eyes. [No, I'm on break. Thank goodness you have arrived. Study well, if anything, call me, okay?]
[Of course you]
[I love you. See you at home.]
Arana widened her smile. [I love you too. I will wait for you at home.]
When there was no reply, Arana put her phone in her coat pocket. The car passed through a large gate, and Arana found a large garden containing young men who seemed to be chatting with each other in their groups.
The people's views were diverted to him when he got off the car aided by Agus.
Perhaps because Arana was using a wheelchair, their gazes turned strange. They whispered to each other and seemed to occasionally glance towards Arana who chatted a few words to Agus.
Arana gave a thin smile. "Thank you, sir."
The car went away. Arana looked at the scene in front of her and pushed her wheelchair forward. Actually Arana's feet can be used to walk. But it still hurts a little according to his words. Alva, as a husband who cares for his wife, certainly forces Arana to keep using a wheelchair, avoiding more severe injuries.
And Arana who had been obedient, finally accepted Alva's advice. It was also for his safety.
But the views of those people made Arana quite uncomfortable. They see it as if they are looking at a strange person, with a belittling smile that wherever it is, Arana always remembers. Because what he's seen, is that has haunted him for some time when he was a child and lived in Melbourne first.
Arana took a slow breath, reaching for her phone when a voice called out to her. "Where? What happened to your leg?!"
Civilian.
Standing a few meters away from him and looking at him with surprise on his face. Arana frowned and opened her voice. "Small accident. What are you doing here?"
"Ep? I'm studying here too. I was lucky enough that I got a scholarship, and I got into this University." Clearly with a smile hanging on her pretty face.
"That...is, your foot okay?"
Arana nodded briefly, not responding to her question.
Turns out the Civanya is smart. When he saw SSA information, enrollment for scholarships was very difficult, and scholarship recipients were limited. However, scholarship recipients actually get free education in full up to S1. And if the scholarship recipient is able to maintain its value and get a cumlaude degree, the scholarship can be continued up to S2.
Arana of course felt amazed at the figure of the Civil.
Unlike the three friends of Alana, they cannot enter this University because of their grades and cannot bribe enough. That was because their student admissions system had been replaced along with the replacement of the SSA rector. People say that the rector this time is very strict and does not tolerate any form of violations between teachers and the administration.
"It's a shame they didn't come in here. It's just you and me." Arana Mumbles.
He looked up at his civ. "What classes did you take?"
"Liter." Answer the Civ with a smile.
"Literature?" Beo Arana's.
The blonde girl nodded her head in embarrassment. "I'm .. I love to write."
Arana bothered. "Yes, that's good for you. Imagination is the advantage of the writer. No problem, maybe some trouble will come in the future, but if it's you, it looks like it can."
He may sound dismissive, but trust me. Arana actually said it with sincere intent. Arana believes that if her Civanya likes to write, she can become a writer as she wills. It could even be, Civanya became a film screenwriter.
Well, it depends on luck and hard work.
But, Arana was sure.
