The Journey of the Heralds

Chapter.11 The Gift For Ivone

3days had passed according to his promise to Ivonne, Ali was confused to find a way to say goodbye to Pak Hendi and his wife.

In addition to Pak Hendi and his wife who is good to him, there is still a family om Hendra with Mita and Anya.

He did not forget where he could get a job at Ivonne's company, even though it was with his own business but all came from the family of om Hendra.

From the info given by Hendra, the clothes Mita bought and the shoes Anya bought.

That's all in favor of him getting a job, Ali doesn't want to be stamped as a no-brainer because of his current relationship with Ivonne.

Ali decides to find Sean's uncle.

After walking down the route uncle Sean's bus, finally found the old pretentious man where he usually eats.

"beep.beep..."

ali's car sounds indicate the door is locked.

"alamakkkk..ganteng time you boy!"

"not a month ago you worked already have a good car, corruption you yes!"cerocos uncle Sean was well aware of who was approaching him.

"are you an uncle, really a shaman!"confront Ali while teasing his uncle.

"i still love my life for corruption!"

"haha.really...really...!" uncle Sean said with a laugh.

"how are you, boy?"

"working rarely do we meet!"

"it's only fitting that last week I saw the car parked next to my bus at home, turns out your car was, hahahaha...!"

"great.great are you Al...!" cerocos uncle Sean again without giving Ali a chance to answer and explain.

"i'm fine uncle and it's not my car but my boss's!" obviously Ali finally after Uncle Sean stopped talking.

"why don't you work Al today, even here.?"

"i have a little uncle problem!"

"what problem? Fight again you?"

"or trouble with your job?" continued.

Without a second thought, Ali finally told his current dilemma from the beginning until Ivonne's request.

"alamakkk..how complicated the times of your life Al!" uncle Sean said after Ali finished telling me everything.

"that's my uncle, I can't lie to someone who's been nice to me!"

"if my father and mother hired me to help talk about it, it doesn't matter!"

"but both of your girls I'm confused about what if one day they ask you!" said uncle Sean again who also felt confused as well as Ali.

After a while of exchanging opinions, the two of them finally gave the problem of Mita and Anya to fate because indeed they did not find the right solution to solve it.

As it was late in the afternoon Ali said goodbye to Uncle Sean, he was worried that Ivonne would be lonely because in the apartment he was alone.

"well, you're there Al!"

"after your success, don't forget the people who have planted you!" uncle Sean's advice when Ali left.

"of course uncle! and I still remember those two daughters of yours as well, hahahaha...!" ali joked as he passed away.

"ting..tong..."

A notification came in on her phone screen as Ali was about to run her car, as soon as she checked she was worried Ivonne was sending a message.

"my salary has entered the kerekening apparently!"

"i have to buy Ivonne something with this first paycheck!" he murmured when he found out that the notification was a notification from the bank that his salary had been transferred to the account by the company.

Ali also runs his car towards SunSky mall while thinking about the shape of the gift he will buy for Ivonne,although when he arrived at SunSky Ali had not had time to think about buying anything for Ivonne but he still entered the mall.

After a while of touring, Ali was interested in entering a jewelry store that featured some elegant products in its storefront.

"please sir! can I help you..?" greet a friendly shopkeeper.

Although there are some shopkeepers who look just standing next to the storefront because it is quiet visitors but only 1 person who welcomed Ali at that time.

"eh yes miss, I want to find a simple ring but limited edition! any?" ali asked the waiter of the shop.

"oh there are many masters!come on!" said the friendly waiter took Ali to one of the storefronts that store the collection.

Ali was given 3 options to look at, but everything was not interesting and the price was still too cheap according to him.

"look at this lady!" ali said while pointing at one of the rings in front of him.

But when going to take the ring that Ali pointed at from the storefront arrived one of the other shopkeepers approached.

"hey you are still new do not serve customers, better just finish this bookkeeping!" the command while putting a stack of files on the table next to the storefront.

"let this customer handle me!" continued.

"where are you, sir?" ask the waiter who just came to Ali.

"this is miss!" point Ali at the ring he wanted.

After Ali received the item and judged it was still not good finally Ali asked to be shown another ring.

Because it still does not fit again Ali asked to be shown another again until several times.

The shopkeeper who served Ali at first tried to be friendly because he wanted to get customers began to look upset because Ali had not so bought also after several times choosing the ring.

"do you really want to buy it or just look at it?" asked the shopkeeper, looking annoyed.

"i would like to buy a lady but nothing is suitable yet!" reply Ali politely.

"sure you have money?" continued.

"it's not a matter of having money or not, but the buyer is king!"

"if there is no suitable yes must be served well until getting the desired item!"

"if I want all the rings in this storefront I can even buy!" ali said again looking annoyed.

The shopkeeper who first served Ali just gave his right thumb to Ali while smiling at the answer.

"if you don't have money, don't buy it! shame on yourself later!" added the shopkeeper in front of him insulting Ali

"you....!" said Ali half-crying holding back growled.

At that time a middle-aged woman who was passing was interested in approaching the commotion.

"what's up Laura?"

"why is that a storm?" ask the woman to the waitress who served Ali.

"eh anu, this lord daritadi just saw the look but said there is no matching madam.!"

"and I've shown him almost 15 rings!"

"even he said he could buy everything in this storefront but the ring was nothing good!" the shopkeeper said explaining a little provokingly.

"sorry sir! I own this shop!" the woman said to Ali.

"so how? will you buy or not?" tanyanya.

"if you don't believe it, please check my card balance, whether I have the ability to buy or not!" ali said a little annoyed while giving the ATM he got from Ivonne.

Ali was quite sure that the balance of the atm was quite a lot because when giving it Ivonne had offered to buy a car.

"try you check on the Goddess!" the shopkeeper told the other waiter.

"how's miss?" ali asked the waiter who held the reader machine after he finished inserting the ATM pin.

"while sir!"

"five hundred..five million..limapy-ten million.limaratus million...!" the waiter read the zeros behind the head of five but stopped at the five million and then not forwarded anymore because there are still 3 more zero digits behind it.

Then the screen of the reader machine was shown to Ali because he did not dare to continue reading it.

"still good!" ali's words covered his shock.

Let alone the shopkeeper, Ali as the account holder was very surprised by the nominal listed there (536 billion) but he tried to cover up his shock.

The store owner was surprised to see the balance.

"do not 1 storefront, the entire store bought even the balance will not decrease much!" he murmured in the heart.

"alright, but I ask the lady named Goddess only because from the beginning she served me! After all this lady laura is not learning ethics, I don't like it!" glazing Ali while glancing at the shopkeeper named Laura.

"alright sir! go ahead!"

"Your goddess served this master well, don't disappoint him!"

"Laura you meet me in my room! now...!" the shop owner gave orders to both.

"well madam!" answer the two in unison.

After getting items that suit his taste and do not exceed the amount of his salary, Ali rushed back to the apartment.

Actually there are still many more luxurious rings in the store, but Ali only wants to use the money from his salary to buy Ivonne gifts.

Although the balance of the ATM given by Ivonne is more than enough but Ali did not want to use it at all if not very urgent.

It was already late in the night when Ali came out of SunSky mall due to too long arguing with the waiter of the store.

"huh...Ivonne must be mad I left from morning without saying goodbye anyway!" ali muttered as he realized for too long he had left Ivonne.

***

"Vonnn.I'm home..!" ali shouted as he entered the apartment carrying his backpack and several pieces of clothing in his hand.

Ivonne who was standing on the balcony mamakai pajamas while looking at the flickering lights of the city in front of him just remained indifferent.

"why are you Von.? angry?" ali asked as he tidied up the clothes he had brought into the cupboard Ivonne had prepared a few days ago.

"where have you been all day Ye?" ask Ivonne finally.

"i took out a contracted outfit and there were some things I had to finish!" ali answered, still tidying up his clothes.

"then...?" search for Ivonne later.

"meet some people!" reply Ali briefly.

"woman too?"

"the last one!"

"beautiful?"

"yeah!"

"where's work?"

"store waiter!" ali's short reply still meant to tease Ivonne without explaining it.

"is I still less beautiful to you Ye?" ivonne's asking sounded like she was about to cry.

"are we still not rich?"

"is I still the one I gave you?"

"what's less......"

Ivonne's words came to a halt as Ali hugged her from behind while kissing her cheek.

"you're still lacking this Von!" misik Ali dyedanya while showing a red box in front of him.

"what's this?"

"book Von...!"

Ivonne slowly opened the red box in front of her.

"Yes..this..this...?" ivonne stammered after seeing the contents of the small box in front of her.

"yes I bought it for you Von!"

"you like?"

"yes I like it Ye!" ivonne said happily.

"spent nearly 4 hours on me to find this ring Von!"

"compared to the contents of the ATM balance that you gave me this is not how much it costs!"

"but this is my sweat money Von!"

"my first paycheck was all I bought this ring, I want you to have it!"

"i hope you like it Von!" ali said as he put the ring in Ivonne's hand.

Ivonne was moved to hear the words coming out of her mouth.

The man he met the first time during the interview had shattered the door of his heart that he had been guarding all along.

"thank you Ye!" ivonne kissed Ali's lips.

"you are my great man!"

"actually I don't want any gifts from you!"

"your presence by my side has become the most beautiful gift in this life Ye...!"

"only you can make me wake up to miss you!"

"i will never regret giving my heart to you!"

"i'm really happy today!"

finally, Ivonne's cry broke in Ali's arms.

Ali could only hug her back trying to calm her.Entah how later he will live it later has not been thought of.

What is clear is that there is Ivonne on his side who must always be guarded.The lion woman he met at that time now changed as if a baby in front of him.

He wants a lot of love and presence in this life.

"don't cry anymore!" ali said as he rubbed the fragrant hair in front of him.

"i'm crying happily can't I?" reply Ivonne while tightening her embrace.

"may.but if over time your beauty is gone!" goda Ali later.

"is I not beautiful now?" timpal Ivonne sulking.

"beautiful..so beautiful!"

"even if a thousand more women were created for me you would still be the most beautiful!"

"gomball....!"

"since when have you been good at seducing Ye?"

"already...already....! I'm hungry Von, from morning I haven't eaten!"

"hungry rice or hungry that one?" ivonne asked teasingly with a smile.

"that's later, I'm really hungry right now!" ali said while pinching Ivonne's nose which still wanted to be spoiled.

That night Ivonne was so happy, her beloved will always be there for her from now on.

Whether it was day or night he would be by his side plus a ring that he gave that night made his life more complete.

"Yee...!" said Ivonne spoiled in Ali's arms after they finished some fierce fights.

"yes." replied Ali quietly.

"if we're not married yet but we're already living together!"

"it's not good that we keep calling each other names!"

"then?"

"we call papa's mom?"

"whatever you are! as long as you're happy, I won't be able to escape from this female tiger!"

"macan?"

"yes, my mother is beautiful!"

"hahh..hhhrrrmm..."

That same night, Ivonne's entire social media account changed its profile from a taekwondo symbol to a photo of Ivonne kissing her man in the background of her hand wearing Ali's ring.
