The Love of Alenna

Chapter 15

Fail asleep. It's been half an hour since Alenna just kept rolling around in her apartment bed. His heart was still pounding because of the good news. Considering that she will soon be married to Rangga, really make her chest constantly pounding melodious singing love songs.

"Try the VC Ranti again. Not sure if the clock is so soon the child is sleeping."

The lights are turned on. Alenna walked towards the smartphone on the nightstand. Immediately pressed the dial. However, again the VC was not accepted.

One incoming message notification. Once checked, not Ranti the sender. The sender of the message was Vero. Yep, Babang Vero sent Alenna a night-night message.

Alenna, help me talk to my dad tomorrow, dong. Let him repent too. Please! That's how the contents of Vero's successful message made Alenna ask questions.

"Help me for repentance? Loh, does Vero's dad like the red ones too? Oops. Alenna, you can't be so prejudiced. Well, but what? If someone asks for help, isn't he helped?"

Alenna's confused. Long enough he considered whether he would reply to the message or not. After struggling and lingering, Alenna decided to ignore Vero's message.

Back Alenna tried VC Ranti.

"If this third one isn't lifted, I'll just give it up."

Fixes. Ranti didn't pick up the VC call from Alenna. Alenna gave up. Not trying again.

"Maybe they're sleeping. He could have gone all day to the zoo with Juno. Huft. I'd better get some sleep, too."

Alenna decided to go to sleep. Yeah, he's trying to sleep. Trying to fall asleep.

***

Three times Ranti has ignored VC Alenna. Ranti heard the ringing of the VC call. Ranti knows who called her those nights. Ranti memorized, who called Alenna for sure. However, Ranti could not take the call.

Ranti was still laying down on the bed, until then the sound of the bathroom door opened. Juno came out, still rubbing a towel to dry her hair.

"You want a hair dryer?" Ranti offers.

Juno shook her head. A smile was made for Ranti.

"Yes, it looks like your dad just called." Ranti.

"Oh yeah? Let me check first." Juno rushed towards her smartphone that had been neglected since the afternoon.

"Dude!" sizzle Juno.

"What's wrong?" Ranti approached, curious.

"Em, I have to go back to the inn. Father is looking for me" Juno explained.

There was disappointment in Randy's face. He hopes Juno can stay longer in Jakarta. But what is power.

"alright. I'll get you a taxi." Ranti moved quickly and ordered a taxi for Juno.

After ordering a taxi, Ranti drove Juno to the door of her apartment.

"When can we meet again?" lirih Ranti asked.

Juno smiled.

"Hopefully soon. Thank you for today" Juno said.

Ranti smiled, then nodded. They separate. Juno returned to his inn. Ranti went into her apartment. Cleaning food wrappers, drink wrappers, and bed linen messy.

***

Juno arrived at his inn at exactly half-twelve p.m. So late. Juno's arrival was immediately welcomed by his father, Haris, at the door.

"Meet friends. Juno was ready, "said Juno.

Haris breathed deeply. He didn't want to bother about Juno's return hour. However, the intention of not prolonging was undone after Haris smelled something strange as Juno passed by.

"Female perfume? Did you meet a boy or girl friend?" search Haris.

Juno scratched his non-itchy head. It's like he's thinking.

"Emm, there was a lot. There are men, and there are women."

Juno answered what it was. Before heading to Ranti's apartment, he had a walk with some friends who introduced Ranti. Even before his travel agenda, Juno also had time to meet and get acquainted with Vero.

"Next time don't ignore your phone. Last night at dinner with a relationship, there was a friend of my father who wanted to meet you. But forget it. Rest soon. Tomorrow morning we go home so that in the afternoon you can stay in college" explained Haris. "Yes, leave your favorite pudding. Eat first" Haris added.

There was a bit of regret that Haris felt. Until now he has not been able to find a replacement for Juno's mother who has died. Of course Juno needs his affection even though he has never been complained about by the son at all.

Juno took the pudding that his father meant. Corn pudding. It was Juno's favorite pudding. When the mother was still there, Juno often ate it. The pudding was eaten with pleasure until it was gone.

"Daddy know my favorite pudding. Hehe. So it's not good because I've been away for a long time now" Juno murmured.

The sleepiness slowly began to attack. Juno decided to break down.

"The initial intention is to ask the news of Alenna from Ranti. Uh not even a delivery. Huft. Alenna, it seems like from now on I really should forget about you. Give you up with Mas Rangga," he said. "Then ... I will find a way out for Ranti," he added.

Juno's eyes swept across the ceiling of the room. His mind bounced far considering all the activities since this afternoon. Initially Juno took a walk visiting several places with Ranti's friends. At seven o'clock Juno split up and invited Ranti to his apartment. Juno's heart intent was to visit for a while. In fact, Juno was there until eleven p.m.

"Ranti, I'll try to love you."

At midnight, Alenna was upset that she was not sleeping. He thought about Ranti.

"Why Ranti suddenly thought, yes. Duh. Rarely did he not tell me. What try the I-VC again, huh?" think Alenna.

Alenna's intentions were immediately conveyed. Back himself VC Ranti. Fortunately, this time the call was received.

"Yes, Len. Hoaaam!" Ranti yawning.

"Ups. You are really sleeping, Ran. Sorry-sorry. Kirain you why-why, because the tumbensnya I VC you do not lift," explained Alenna. Feeling guilty.

Ranti's eyes caught the screen half closed. Alenna was so unwell to continue the conversation, let alone shower her with a vent about herself and Rangga.

"Sorry, yes Ran. Continue to sleep again."

"okay, Len. Tomorrow morning I'll meet you in your room. Bye-bye. Hoaaam!" Ranti's back to yawning.

Tut-tut-tut.

Phone turned off. Ranti held her phone tightly. There's a sense of guilt after he lied to Alenna.

"I'm sorry, Len."

Ranti tried to shut down. Hope the sleepiness will really come. However, free. The sleepiness did not say hello. In Ranti's mind was now filled with Juno's shadows. He can still be remembered clearly. Juno's way of rejecting him, Juno's way of responding to him, Juno's way of looking at him, Juno's way of erasing his distance, and enjoying a union together.

"Jun, I hope we can unite soon," Ranti sighed in a raucous tone. A tear escaped wetting his cheek.
