Preferred Girl

My soul is near

After a brief meeting with Alina and Talita, Rafi talks seriously with Ms. Janeeta.

"Sorry Mom, Rafi can only now visit Mom." Rafi sat next to Ms. Janeeta.

"Mom understands your situation, son. By the way what do you think of Alina?" ask Ms. Janeeta.

"Alina in Rafi's eyes is a beautiful girl, her heart is so tender with a young age and economic limitations she is willing to babysit a baby who does not know her origin."

"Well with Talita, how do you feel, son?"

"Either why Rafi was happy to be near Talita and she was also calm with Rafi." Rafi's eyes sparkled.

"May what I feel be the same as how you feel, son. I don't want to interfere in your love story. Because you have previous experience. All of you leave it to you." Miss Janeeta rubbed the back of her only child.

"Mom, if Rafi wants to propose to Alina, do you approve? And is this not too soon for Alina because it's our first meeting." Rafi is worried.

"Talk to Alina, tell me everything. We leave it all to fate." Said Ms. Janeeta.

The next day, as usual Alina left Talita to Miss Janeeta. Alina went shopping for kitchen to market.

In front of a large building materials store in the market, Alina was confronted by a burly man.

"Sorry, our Master wants to meet." The man let Alina enter the Shop.

Alina was afraid to refuse, with a heavy heart she entered the building materials store.

"Please sit down." The middle-aged man known as Boss Kardun is now sitting opposite Alina.

"What's the boss?" ask Alina.

"I heard that you have a child, you must be troubled to take care of it. What if you marry me. All your needs will be met, and your son will be assured of his future." Boss Kardun stared with a seductive look.

"Sorry boss, I'll think about it." Alina stood up to go home.

"Where are you going?" Kardun's boss stood up to Alina.

"I want to go home Boss, I still have to work." Said Alina lowering her face.

"Everything is my wife, you don't have to work, just serve you'll be rich." Kardun's boss is getting closer to Alina. His hand wanted to touch Alina's chin.

"Sorry boss, my son is waiting at home." Alina tried to avoid.

"If you don't want to marry me, just give up your son, how much money you want me to give. As long as your son is for me. He can make me rich." Kardun bosses love to see the frightened Alina.

"Excuse me. I'm looking for my future wife." Rafi's voice was heard.

Alina who heard Rafi's voice rushed to run hide behind Rafi.

"Who's your future wife?" Boss Kardun glared at the eyes.

"She, oh yeah, I'll send you our wedding invitations. Excuse me." Rafi grabs Alina's hand and leaves the store.

After far away leaving the market Rafi let go of her grip.

"Sorry Alina, I just want to save you." Rafi.

"Yes, thanks. Why would Bang Rafi find me there?" ask Alina.

"Talita cried and called Mama Mama. Mom told me to catch up with you, and I happened to see you at the store." Answer Rafi.

"Let's go home, we're all Talita."

"Alina, there's something I want to say." Rafi held a gurgle in her chest.

"What Bang?" Alina looked at Rafi.

"I want to propose to you? Sorry if this surprises you."

Alina was surprised her hands were limp and did not feel her groceries falling. Rafi immediately picked up Alina's groceries scattered on the ground.

"Sorry Bang Rafi, sorry." Alina is back.

"It's okay, it must have surprised you. I want to protect you and Talita. You two are so special."

"Honestly, I love Talita very much, and with you I feel comfort. And you need to know I was married before, our marriage was ruined because my ex-wife was more concerned with our career than our household. And he prefers a man richer than me who can smooth his way up to a higher career position. We separated a year ago. After seeing you yesterday somehow there is something in this heart. Think about it, I don't want to force myself." Rafi walked ahead.

Alina still couldn't believe what she heard. After meeting Talita many good things he got.

"Mam ma, Mam ma." The voice of Talita.

Alina was looking for Talita, "Talita, who brought you here?" Alina lifted Talita up and looked to the right and left where Talita could be inside the baby stroller that Alina had never seen before.

"Pap pa, Pap pa." Call Talita

Rafi turned around and looked towards Talita.

"Talita, how are you here?" Rafi's approaching.

"Bang, Talita is alone here. And whose baby carriage does this have?" show Alina.

"Maybe someone took Talita for a walk. Already put Talita in the car. We're home." Take Rafi.

They arrived at Ms. Janeeta's house. Rafi gives me the grocery cart.

"Mom, who took Talita for a walk?" ask Rafi.

"Talita's been sleeping on that swing ever since." Miss Janeeta while taking out the shopping cart.

"Sleep? On swings?" ask Rafi.

"Yes Nak. Talita's sleeping well today." Miss Janeeta washes vegetables.

"Alina, Alina." Call Rafi.

"Yes Bang?" Alina came in with the baby carriage.

"Mothers say, Talita sleeps in a swing, whose train is it?"

Alina peeked at the train, "It's Talita Bang."

Rafi approaches the train and sees Talita sleeping soundly.

Rafi pulled Alina's hand, "Let's see the one inside the swing."

They both headed for the baby swing that was swinging slowly.

"Bang's sleeping truss, whose car's in?" alina asked looking at Rafi's astonishment.

Rafi who saw Talita in the swing turned back and the baby carriage disappeared.

"The baby train is gone." Rafi shock's.

Alina was the same, they sat in front of Talita's swing.

"What's wrong?" Ms. Janeeta saw the pallor on both of them's faces.

"Talita there are two ma'am." Rafi.

"Yes Ma'am, Talita there are two." Alina.

"You're making me worry. Well, maybe Talita wants you guys to be her mom and dad soon. Let's think about it again. Talita wants you to be her parents. Talita won't part with you two. Rafi are you serious about Alina?" ask Ms. Janeeta.

"Rafi is confident in Rafi Bu's decision, it's up to Alina." Rafi is hopeful.

"Alina may surprise you, son, take another look at Rafi's Mother's Son. Maybe you have no feelings for him now. But I'm sure Rafi will never hurt your feelings, son. Rafi's the one in charge. I dare guarantee you." Miss Janeeta patted her chest.

"Give me Mom time, Bang Rafi. get married that once in a lifetime. I want to convince my heart." Alina asked for understanding.

"The heart cannot be forced. Love can grow over time. All the decisions are in your hands Alina. Not because of your compulsion to accept me. I want sincerity." Rafi smiled sincerely.

"Alright, I'll think of Mother and Bang Rafi's offer." Alina.
