My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Proximity

Ms. Rosna was feeling restless, from now on in and out of the room there was no purpose. The incoming call from Mr. Cokro two hours ago left a dilemma in Ms. Rosna's heart. Seeing the seriousness of Aleta in pursuing her studies, making Ms. Rosna think twice to convey the mandate of Pak Cokro. But seeing Aleta's closeness to Haris and Ferdinand, also caused a sense of anxiety in his heart.

Aleta who from the morning struggled with her tasks, was too busy to be disturbed. Corry and Rina's invitation to the streets was also subtly rejected by Aleta.

"Tok..tok.., sister Aleta.., ' came the voice of the Goddess calling from outside the room.

"At the same time "Aleta answered as she moved out of the room.

"What's wrong" asked Aleta.

"Outside there are those who seek brother, three in number. It's like I've never been here before, brother."

"Yes, thank you dhik. Brother will see his guest first, now adhik please help brother ya to call mother."

"Yes, sister" said the Goddess as she ran to find Ms. Rosna..

After tidying up her messy clothes and combing her hair, Aleta came out to meet the guests. In the courtyard there are two cars parked side by side. One car *Ond*C*V is still a red white plate and the other a car with the branding "onda. Then Aleta also saw three men were sitting with their feet on their feet.

"Good day, are you looking for me" asked Aleta politely.

The three men turned towards Aleta.

"Good afternoon, we from the dealer "Onda Klaten branch would like to meet with Aleta's mom."

"I'm introducing Roosman, he's Adit, and this one's Rahman" Roosman said, introducing himself and his friend as he reached out.

"Yes to myself, is there anything I can help you with." so Aleta greeted them.

"Can we sit down."

"Oh yes, please sit down, sorry I forgot to invite." replied Aleta embarrassed.

"What a son, said the Goddess looking for mother. Ow... There are guests to.ini." said Miss Rosna from the inside.

"Look, ma'am, our Aleta from the dealership, would like to send you a car order on behalf of Aleta. We ask that Aleta can work together to complete the administration."

"But we don't feel the message" protested Aleta.

"I'm sorry mbak, this car has been paid cash by the customer on behalf of Mr. Cokrodirjo."

"Actually the booking was done a week ago, but since the stock was empty then the new item can be sent today."

Aleta looked at Ms. Rosna, and Ms. Rosna just nodded her head.

"Please help make it easier for us, we're just workers."

"Pak Cokro also advised, if mbak Aleta is less pleased with this type of car, then we are happy to be asked to replace with another type according to the likes of mbak Aleta."

"Help them son, they're just executors. I told you, if Aleta doesn't vote, then Grandpa Cokro will send a car here."

"Trus for what Mom, Aleta and mom can't drive the car either" Aleta said plainly.

"You can learn a lot in the city where you drive" Ms. Rosna said.

"Yes, yes, yes, tomorrow ask for help from Brother Ferdi to teach Aleta yes Ma'am."

Miss Rosna could only nod, though she disagreed that Aleta was close to men. Trust from Pak Cokro is very heavy to maintain.

Finally Aleta signed the proof of delivery of goods, receipts, warranty letters, and insurance. Once it feels enough, the dealer hands over the car keys, then say goodbye to continue his other duties.

Aleta's days after college were filled with her busy practicing car driving. Ferdinand was like getting a windfall, because there was no need to make an appointment, he was always next to the woman of his heart.

"Alhamdulillah, Aleta has been smoothly driving it." Aleta cheered happily because she had managed to master the driving skills on the climb, stopping on the climb, the corner.

"Thank you brother Ferdi, "

"He..he.., brother Ferdi can come here every afternoon but ngeles the sisters anyway."

"Every princess, ngeles is also okay, the important sister can meet Aleta." Ferdi's successful tease makes Aleta blush embarrassed.

"Turn around, sister, Aleta is tired" said Aleta.

"Dear, sister followed Aleta alone." Ferdinand subconsciously called Aleta with words of affection.

Suddenly they became silent.

"Dear kok, brother Ferdi must be the same thought of his girlfriend yes, until release call Aleta use the word dear" said Aleta with red cheeks eliminate awkwardness.

"Sister does not have Aleta's boyfriend, sister wants to be like Aleta's principle, immediately proposed and married, without dating" Ferdinand replied while looking at Aleta's face.

Aleta felt uncomfortable in Ferdinand's eyes.

"Sister, look at it to another donk, Khan Aleta ashamed of his face looked on" said Aleta misbehaved.

"If Aleta had red cheeks, brother would have been gurgling, pingin nyiwel cheeks that were like bakpao." seduced Ferdinand while pinching the small cheeks of Aleta.

Aleta who had never been touched close by any man, her skin was like a shock, and her cheeks were red."

Suddenly Aleta felt her heartbeat speed up, instantly she felt nervous. The steering he was holding led to the left of the road.

"Be careful Aleta, control the steering wheel if you don't want the car to hit the road body" Ferdinand gently reminded Aleta

"Yes, sister, but stop donk don't flirt with Aleta. Aleta's nervous about deg degan."

Ferdinand smiled happily at the plain girl who was very desirable to be his life companion.

"Prophe Ferd. slowly," Ferdinand advised himself.

Didn't feel the car was driven Aleta to the parking lot.

"Thank God, success today. Get down, sister," take Aleta.

"Yukkk, who knows my fate today is lucky, got a gift of a glass of sweet iced tea served sweet girl as well" Ferdinand said unceasingly teasing Aleta.

The two of them walked towards the main terrace. Ferdinand immediately sat down to rest on the nimble terrace.

"Aleta to the back first, sister, want to make sweet iced tea." said Aleta.

"Yes," Ferdinand replied as he lay down his body in agility.

"Son Ferdi is tired, yes" suddenly Bu Rosna appeared to invite Ferdi to chat.

"No, ma'am, it was just on the hot road so the energy was sucked." replied Ferdi while getting up from his bed.

"I'm sorry, I want to be difficult for Ferdi, then I told him to learn the steering wheel with a course in the city. But Aleta doesn't want to, she says she'll teach Ferdi's son."

"It's okay Miss Rosna, Ferdi is happy to be close to Aleta continues." replied Ferdinand who successfully added to the upset heart Bu Rosna.

"Your relationship is how boy,"

"We're close to Mom, but now we're just friends because Aleta doesn't want to date, she says she wants to get married straight away."

"Hopefully Ferdi can be lucky, ma'am" Ferdinand said with a smile.

Miss Rosna pretended not to hear what Ferdinand had just said. After taking Ferdinand's feelings for Aleta into account, Miss Rosna had already made her decision.

"Yes, son, continue to rest, I want to rest too."

"Yes Miss Rosna" Ferdinand replied.
