Only One Heart
Stalkers
As Aika had once imagined, the ring that had made her fall in love since the first time she saw it looked pretty wrapped around Aika's tiny ring finger. Aika does not know whether she should be happy because it already has it, or should cry just a mouthful, because in fact, Purna is the young man who has pinned this ring. Purna and Aika's engagement event has passed through the core of the exchange ring. Now, the family members present are busy chatting with each other and busy tasting the food provided. Tonight, Marko Handoyo's residence is more crowded than usual. Occasional booming laughter filled the room, which Aika recognized as the laughter of Marko and Marcus. Marcus was shocked when he saw Aika who would become his future daughter-in-law, while he knew, the girl was one of the servants in PraResto, Indonesia, until finally Purna had to open his voice and explain about Aika who did work at their family restaurant. Instead of being angry that his son was courting a servant, Marcus laughed happily. He said, he saluted Aika who was not picky work, even though she was the son of someone who was quite famous. Marcus does not know, Aika works at his place just as a distraction while waiting for news from the CV he has sent to several private companies. When everyone in the room was busy mingling, Aika actually preferred to be alone in the corner while watching her left hand that was no longer empty. While Purna was chatting with Riko in another corner, perhaps trying to familiarize himself with his future brother-in-law. “Kak Aika!” Aika turned her head when she heard her name being mentioned. One step before her stood a beautiful girl wearing a pastel color dress smiling at her. Aika returned that smile with a little awkwardness. He knows who this girl is. He is Purna's brother. Saints, names. In the past, Suci always followed Purna wherever the brother went, so inevitably, Aika was close to him. “Ya?” Sacred Smile widened, she drew closer to Aika and extended a hand. “Congratulations on her engagement yes, Kak.” “Ahahah .. thank you.” Aika laughed awkwardly while replying to Holy's helping hand. Almost six years never see each other again, of course it would be very strange if suddenly they acted as familiar as before, especially when looking at the current Holy figure. She was no longer a messy pubescent teenager, but had transformed into a beautiful and graceful princess. Distinctly different from Aika who still likes to be strange. “I did not expect, it turns out that Brother will be my sister-in-law.” The Saints continued after their handshake was released. He sat beside Aika who suddenly stiffened to hear her words. “In the past, I thought Bang Purna liked Sister Jess, lhooo ..” “Oh yes?” Aika does not have a good stock of words to respond to the sentence of the prospective sister-in-law. His heart screamed, shouting Holy Forecasts did not miss at all. It is Jess who likes it, even to this day. “But I keep a smile, really. Anyone of you who is Bang Purna's wife, I definitely support!” an enthusiastic Holy Word that was only answered with a knotty smile that was not up to the eye by Aika. In the place where he stood, Purna was secretly watching over the girl. She smiled occasionally to see Aika laughing, and grimaced when she found Aika's suddenly gloomy face. The heart of Purna is like being split in two. One part was filled with happy euphoria, but the other part was just a royally overcast.

“Aika!” Nina emerges from the dividing line between the kitchen and the restaurant's cooking utensils storage while still wearing a chef's suit. Aika who was about to pick up the dry plates to move, stopped her activity. He turned to Nina and asked, “What?” “I heard from Mama, he said when you applied, yes?” Nina approached, a wry smile embedded in her thin lips. Getting such a question, Aika smiled wryly while scratching her back nape which was not itchy at all. Confused, how do I respond to Nina's question without being distracted. “Gossip is spreading, yes. Kayak virus.” “Good news should spread, Ka. Let many say.” “Hehe ...” Aika is very interested in talking about the proposal which is now the topic of their conversation. Nina's eyes narrowed, astonished at Aika's displeased reaction. “You're not being betrothed, are you?” the question is careful, do not want to seem pretentious to know, because they are not two friends who can easily haha-hihi together. Nina and Aika are just ordinary friends, it is also because of their residence in the same housing complex. “Hah? E .. no, really. Not betrothed.” Aika was sitting on a long wooden chair in the right corner. Nina followed in her footsteps and sat down next to the girl. “Why?” “Elo kayak not seneng.” “Feelings aja times. I'm happy, kok!” and this is how Aika, she is difficult to open in front of people she does not know very closely, so only lies that she can tell. Unfortunately, Nina was a pretty sensitive person. He knew Aika was hiding something and did not like the topic they were now discussing, so he was just a beard and looking for other materials as a chat. “How does it feel to work here?” “Hah?” Aika was a little confused by the change of language that was too fast, but then she replied as well, “Capek!” “Ahahaha .. it is tired. Also called work. Oh yes, yesterday I saw you in Mr Purna's room. That's why the food can fall?” Ughhhh! Aika grimaced while grimacing small. If it recalled the incident a few days ago, it practically regenerated his desire to resign. But, you Fucking Fuck! He makes the employment contract a threat, if Aika resigns, then he must pay according to the fine stated in the employment contract he had previously signed. If from the beginning he knew this restaurant belonged to the Purna family, he would not have approved a job offer from Nina. “When I do the dishes, so the hands are still a bit slippery.” Aika doesn't lie completely. This is the safest answer for a while. As much as possible, Aika will cover up her relationship with Purna, not wanting one of the restaurant employees to know about the engagement bond between them, even if sooner or later, in the end all the officers here will know as well. “He's angry not same elo?” “Mmmm ...” Aika is confused herself. What formal words of Purna's time could it be categorized as a form of anger? But the bike is not. Purna just told Aika to be polite and clean up the mess she had done. “Engga too, hell!” “Good yes, she. Try if you fell food in front of Mr. Marcus, he would have been raging!” Pshaw! Of course Purna won't be angry. How dare he was angry at Aika who at that time was already his fiancee candidate. Aika sneered in the heart.
Time starts to go up in the afternoon. The wall clock is on the number 4. Aika's work shift turned out to be over two hours ago, so Purna felt futile sitting at one of the customer's desks, intending to continue the work there while looking at Aika who from today has been allowed to serve the guests. It was only fitting that the young man had been wandering around since then, but not once did the shadow of the person he was looking for appear, until he asked Ferdi. And she said, today Aika is on the morning shift. Damnit damnit! Yes already! Wet bitch. The responsibility is also that Purna still has to return to the second floor, after all doing the task here also does not hurt. Sighing, the young man opened a laptop that since half an hour ago folded neatly on the table, because the owner was busy turning left right looking for his favorite waitress. At the same time, Nina stepped out of the kitchen. Today the work is over and he is ready to go home. However, the girl's steps stopped when from the tail of her eyes she saw the figure of Purna who was sitting at one of the customer's tables. The manager's gaze focused on the screen with his fingers dancing agilely over the keyboard. For a moment, Nina was glued. This day, not once had he seen the handsome figure of the thief in his heart. And right now there was an unstoppable desire within him to observe a Fuller for longer. Instead of continuing her intention to go home, Nina actually occupied an empty table not far from Purna's position. In the afternoon, the restaurant is not too crowded, only as a table filled. Nina took a menu book wrapped in batik cloth located on the table and spread it in front of the face so as not to be seen and can more freely observe the handsome object. He really is exactly like a stalker now. “Dinda!” Nina called one of the waiters who was going back to the kitchen with a tray filled with dirty dishes and glasses. “Lho! Elo, what, still here? Said he wanted to go home.” A waiter named Dinda approached. He looked at Nina with his eyebrows raised to disappear behind the bangs of the fence that covered his forehead. “Consecret!” nina answered meaningfully. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Purna who was still fussy with his work. Dinda followed the dark brown marbles of Nina and clucked in disbelief. “So, now again spy on the Boss, yes?” guess Dinda's on target. One story slowly landed on his forehead, a gift from Nina. “Ssssttt ... don't be fussy! What if the person is listening?” Nina raised the menu book to cover her entire face, just in case the Purna really heard their conversation. Dinda nyegir horse. The short and mushy girl then made a gesture of locking her mouth with her hands, gesturing for silence. “Please make me orange juice yes!” nina's message later. “Ok! Anything else?” “Udah, that's it! Cepet go there.” “Hopefully not caught by the boss, yes!” Dinda whispered mischievously, before continuing her steps back to the back, making Nina grimace and want to throw the menu book on the head of her Junior High school friend.
