My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Dating

Aleta is increasingly distraught, because to this day, Devan has not allowed her to return to Klaten to continue her pending studies. His days were filled only with round trips from Joni Boutique and apartment. Two weeks later, he missed a class meeting.

Although she studied in Informatics, and the hybrid learning model was always emphasized by her lecturers, but Aleta felt more stable if she attended lectures face-to-face with the lecturers. Especially as a vocational student, where practice is more propagated than theory, he needs direct assistance.

"Would I complain to my grandfather, would he have said it himself, if I could continue my studies even though I was married" said Dev in his own mind.

"But later Devan was angry, he said I was a complainant. Ahhh.., I'm tired of God." Aleta was confused to the point of ruffling her own hair.

Suddenly his phone rang. Without seeing who made the call, Aleta immediately accepted it.

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning too, Aleta yes" replied the male voice across the phone.

"Yes right, this is with whom," Aleta carefully asked the identity of the caller, as she rarely had any male friends.

"It's Irvan... Aletas. Remember the incident when I hit you at the entrance to Joni's boutique, about a week ago."

"Wow.. Irvan yes. Remember I remember now. Kok can have my phone number" said Aleta who suddenly mood appeared, and immediately imagined the face of Om Ariel.

"My sweetness, still remembered the same beautiful and tiny princess. Got a donk, I'm an effort, he..He.. used to seduce bang Joni" replied Irvan

"Ah dreadlocks you Irvan. By the way.. There's what tumben-tumbenan make the call."

"He..he. Twice I went to Joni, but never met you."

"I'm sure, if I go to Joni often come on course, and go home on time. The driver was waiting in the parking lot. So it's not good if I leave for a long time."

"The position again where Aleta, we meet yok. Just have a drink, not a long time." take Irvan.

"Where do you know, I haven't memorized the streets here."

"Yes, I'm picking you up at the apartment right now."

"Don't Ir. can't." forbid Aleta.

"Just know the place, later I ask the driver to deliver or I take the ojek online only."

"Our to Mei**on Cafe only yes, in Dago. The place is cozy." said Irvan and sent a share location.

Aleta still follows the norms of society. Given her current status as a wife, she should not accept other men who are not muhrim to come to her apartment without any other friends.

Aleta then contacted Mr. Asep to be transferred to the location.

"Good day, lady, I can help you."

"Sir Asep is currently bothered not, Aleta wants to ask for delivery. It just so happens that Aleta has an appointment with a friend in Dago,"

"Yes, wait fifteen minutes Asep sir gets to the apartment."

Aleta finally met Irvan in May**n Cafe Dago area with delivered Asep sir.

"Hey.. Aleta..," Irvan suddenly stood behind him.

"Hey.. Irvan .., it's been a long time" said Aleta greeting Irvan.

"Sit over there yukk, the view is good. I've booked the place."

Aleta circulated her gaze around the cafe, fresh air filling her lungs. His eyes immediately brightened to see the expanse of flowers and various plants that were widely planted around the cafe. Irvan smiled happily at Aleta's response who seemed satisfied with the place she chose.

"Yuk.., there is more fresh" said Irvan while holding Aleta's hand. But Aleta let go of Irvan's hand.

"I'm sorry, reflexes." said Irvan when she realized Aleta's rejection.

Irvan takes Aleta to the tree house, and Aleta first feels the sensation of sitting on a tree.

"You want to order what Aleta."

"What a typical menu, I follow you. To drink hot sweet tea"

"Beef burger steak 2, hot sweet tea 1, Iime squash 1,"

"Sister, please wait."

Irvan let Aleta get carried away by the atmosphere of enjoying nature around the cafe. He secretly took three candid pictures of Aleta using his cell phone camera. It looks Irvan self-smiling observing the results of his shots.

"Beautiful, fresh, and fused with the harmony of nature." murmured Irvan softly.

Suddenly Aleta looked.

"Kok Irvan grinned to herself, what a funny Van." asked Aleta.

"It read the chat in WhatsApp group of high school friends. Gokil-gokil them." said Irvan flutter, then put his phone on the table.

"Where is Aleta, you like."

"Swear... Van, I like it so much. Like getting Vitamin Green, after days of just looking at the streets."

"If you like it, I'd like to accompany you every day here."

"Yes every day too. There is no other activity."

"Yahhh, that's Aleta's parable. If you have free time, you want, I can bring you here or we can find new places."

"Ashik.., fortune of the son of Soleh. I can finally escape the confines of the apartment wall."

"Lho, someone's got you covered."

"Well, if I'm locked up, now I can't donk nyampe here."

"Yes yes, too, he.he." said Irvan.

Pramusaji came to deliver their order.

"It's complete, brother, all the orders. Enjoy it."

"The stew is still hot, eat first Aleta. Here the air is cold, the steak will be hard if not immediately eaten."

They enjoyed the steak while chatting. Occasionally Irvan helps to clean the melted sauce on Aleta's lips by using eating tissue.

They talk a lot about a lot of things. Irvan turned out to be a final semester student at ITB who majored in DKV. In addition, he also has a start-up company engaged in the field of design, and at the same time as a supplier of materials for design purposes. That's what led them to meet accidentally in Joni's boutique.

As an Informatics student, Aleta has many topics and hobbies related to the use of IT with Irvan. Irvan gives many practical advice about IOTs.

At 14:00 Aleta asked Irvan to leave.

"Van.., it's late in the afternoon. I'm going home first."

"Ok, don't look at me."

"Yes no, I am very happy today. Don't be bored either, maybe I'll recokin you more often in the future. He.he...,"

"Ashiap... I.m ready for you anytime." replied Irvan with a laugh.

Irvan takes Aleta to the car. Mr. Asep was a bit surprised to see his master's wife turned out to ask to be escorted to meet young men.

"Mister Devan can kill me, apes." regretted Asep for bringing Aleta here.

Mr. Asep rushed to open the door for Aleta, but Irvan opened the door faster and closed it again.

"Bye.. Aletas. The news is that when I get home."

"Bye Irvan." said Aleta as she waved her hand.

"Sir, slowly drive it. Careful,"

"Yes, let's "say Mr. Asep and run the car immediately.
