Pursued by the Love of Princess Overseas
Chapter 15
A week later....
Raline just got back from Jogja. The girl went looking for her family who picked her up.
The pat on his shoulder made Raline look back. A man smiled sweetly at him.
"Why did Om pick me up?" tanyanya doesn't like it.
"Because I'm the only one who can pick you up."
"I don't like the one who picks me up!" Decisive.
"I don't like it you still have to come home with me!"
"I'll just take a taxi!"
"Don't be like a child whose hobby is sulking, you're an adult so behave your age!"
"If I'm an adult, why don't you like me?"
"Don't talk about it!"
"It has to be discussed, Om!"
"I don't like you any time, you're just a nephew to me."
Raline was silent and could no longer speak.
Harlan lifted the girl's bag carrying her to the car.
Raline chose to sit in the back.
"Why sit in the back?"
"I'm Om Harlan's nephew so let's just say I'm a twelve-year-old boy!" Raline opened the back door and sat down.
Harlan let out a sigh of resignation, and he sat in the steering chair.
Raline who was behind playing her phone while laughing, she then contacted someone who looked very familiar.
Harlan looked at the girl's behavior from the middle rearview mirror.
"Why are you blocking all my contacts?" ask Harlan when the girl is done calling.
"Don't Om Harlan want me to stay away?"
"Distant is not blocking all my contacts."
"It's up to me to block anyone's number!" Raline said firmly.
Harlan was silent.
As soon as he arrived, Raline lowered her suitcase without saying anything she rushed into her house.
Harlan frowned looking at the girl's behavior.

Tonight Rani is 50 years old so she invites her entire family including her employees.
Rani does not have a big party but she only invites food. Alka and his wife could not attend because there was business outside the city but their children represented it.
Rani's three children from her marriage to Alka were also present at the happy event.
Raline hugged her mother, both of them looking so beautiful.
Harlan had earlier stolen a glance at Raline who was so indifferent to him.
"Sister Rail, come here!" call Raline.
"What's up, Lin?"
"Try flavor!" Raline put the cake in her brother's mouth. "Enak, right?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, very good."
"I want this message just for my graduation ceremony," he said.
"Maybe, too" Varrel said.
Harlan saw the sister, usually Raline would call him to try or taste the food that the girl had just seen in her eyes. Yeah, Harlan was Raline's experiment.
The man approached her while Raline was alone at the food table. "You don't want to try this?" pointing sponge cake with cheese grater on it.
"Have tried" Raline replied and walked away.
"Why did he stay away like that, my heart hurts, huh?" inner Harlan asked.

The next day, Raline was about to go to campus but Harlan was already in front of her gate.
"I'll take you to college" Harlan said.
"I'll just take the bus" Raline refused.
"I was assigned by your mother" said Harlan.
Raline picked up the phone in her bag and contacted her mother. "Hello, Mom!"
"Hello, Raline!"
"Mom, I want to be independent. Why send Harlan's Om again?"
"Mom's worried about you, son."
"Mom, I'm an adult. Mother don't worry, there will be my lover who picks me up at college" Raline said.
"Love? Who are you in a relationship with, son?"
"Surely a handsome and kind man, ma'am." Raline said so deliberately in order to see Harlan's reaction.
"When are you going to introduce him to us?"
"If it's time, Mom."
"Alright, for today you are escorted by Harlan," said Rani.
"Yes, Mom. Raline hung up.
"Today I will be taken, the rest of me will be taken to pick up my lover" replied Raline.
"You got a lover?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. Come aboard!" Harlan gave me the helmet.
Raline then sat in the back wearing her helmet.
"Handle, fall down!"
"Yes!" resounding.
Arriving at the campus, Raline gave her helmet without saying anything like yesterday. The girl ran to her class.
Harlan only smiled faintly while shaking her head slowly.

After college, Raline had called Mama Shireen if today she would come home late because she was walking to the mall with her friend.
Shireen also allowed her daughter to go to the mall with her friend on the condition that she must get home at 5 pm.
Raline picked up Bagas at the campus.
"Today I brought my son, is that okay, right?" Bagas introduced his son.
Raline looked surprised to see her son Bagas. "This is your son?"
"Yes, his name is Riko."
"Oh" said Raline briefly.
Riko looked at Raline's face so thoroughly.
"Riko, sit. I'll run the car" Bagas said gently.
"Yes, Dad." The boy sat in the back passenger seat.
"So Om Harlan's lover Bagas' ex-wife. Oh it turns out that the world is too narrow," his inner monologue.
The three arrived at the intended Mall, Riko held Raline's hand so tightly. The boy always raised his head and threw his smile.
Bagas realizes that his son likes Raline.
"Where are we going to eat?" ask Bagas.
"Whatever" Raline replied.
"Dad!" Riko pulled Bagas' hand, then pointed towards the restaurant where there was a game for children.
"We're going there?" ask Bagas.
Riko nodded.
"Let's go there!" bring Bagas.
Raline followed the boy and the father.
They ordered food shortly after their order arrived.
"Dad, Mother!" Riko pointed Bagas' phone at the man.
"You want to call mom?" ask Bagas.
"Yes." Yeah."
Bagas then contacted his ex-wife via video call.
Raline held her forehead, "Don't let the woman see me, can be ashamed of me with Om Harlan," her inner self.
Riko waved her hand to her mother.
"Where are you, son?"
"Mall's."
"Who are you with, son?"
"Dad."
"Other Dad?" ask Tiara.
Riko pointed her phone at Bagas and Raline who were enjoying the food.
The two are unknowingly noticed by Tiara from the video call.
Bagas who was aware of the rush took his phone then he pointed it at him and quickly turned it off.
Riko did not protest, the boy then enjoyed his meal.
Notification of the message into Bagas' phone was from his ex-wife. 'Who is the woman with you?'
Bagas replied by writing a friend.
'Whose name?'
'Rilene.' Bagas answered a message from Tiara.
After the reply, his ex-wife did not send any more messages.
After eating, the three enjoy the rides of the game in the mall. Riko looks carefree especially Raline is good at taking her heart.
Bagas who saw the closeness of the two was increasingly convinced by the girl.
Exactly at 4 past 30 minutes, the three went home. Bagas drove Raline to his house.
Once there, Bagas wanted to go down and greet Raline's parents but the girl forbade him on the grounds that it was not yet time.
Bagas also understood him because he had only met 3 times with today, the rest of them communicate only through short messages.
