The Love of Alenna

Chapter 16

Morning's approaching. Alenna looked neat with office clothes and a simple hijab decoration. Her sweet smile continued to decorate her noble face. His heart was swollen, because he would soon marry Rangga.

Uncle Li went to see Alenna. As usual, Uncle Li would remind Alenna of the important schedules. Also, as usual Uncle Li also brought a bouquet of flowers given by Vero.

"duh. The kids aren't blushing either, anyway. Do I need to tell you that I will marry Mas Rangga soon," muttered Alenna.

Uncle Li smiled hearing that mutter.

"This time the message is different, miss. Mr. Vero wants Miss Alenna to help lecture her father on his penance." Little laugh escaped Uncle Li. Makes Alenna laugh.

"Where are you, Uncle. He wanted to help, but Alenna wasn't so good either. Still often make sins," said Alenna.

"Advising the good does not have to wait for the perfect self, Non. Nothing is perfect in this world. Who knows precisely from advising each other kindness, Miss is increasingly moved her heart to be much better than now. My advice, help Mr. Vero as much as possible. No need to force it," Uncle Li's advice.

"Yapz. Thank you, Uncle. Alenna was even more grateful, father asked Uncle Li to keep Alenna here. Uncle Li is nice. Fatherly," said Alenna.

"I've been a father, Non." Uncle Li chuckled.

Alenna is intrigued to know more about Uncle Li's family life. All this time he never asked. As Alenna knew, Uncle Li's wife remarried.

"Em, sorry. Alenna kepo's. Is Uncle Li still family? As far as Alenna is concerned, for the past two years Uncle Li has been busy being the right hand of father. Go everywhere too."

"I have a son who is the same age as Miss Alenna. He's in Surabaya. Because of the acceleration of the school several times, now he has graduated from college," said Uncle Li.

Uncle Li's heart was full when he told me about his son. Truthfully Uncle Li missed him. It has been a long time Uncle Li did not visit the son who since a few years ago entrusted with the mother in Surabaya.

Alenna attention. He picked up a piece of tissue for Uncle Li, which Alenna thought was like his own uncle.

"Uncle Li if you want to cry it's okay. There is never a prohibition on parents crying. Alenna was sure, Uncle Li's cries must have been. Em, okay. Alenna decided. Tomorrow, Uncle Li must fly to Surabaya nengokin Uncle Li's son and family" said Alenna.

Uncle Li was surprised by the unilateral decision that Alenna had set.

"But, Non. I can't leave ...."

"It has. Just accept it, Uncle. This was an opportunity to rekindle Uncle Li's family relationship. And than, Uncle Li can't go home until the next four days!" alenna again.

Uncle Li again tried to bargain for Alenna's decision. However, Uncle Li has a responsibility to help and care for Alenna while in Jakarta. Leaving Alenna to meet her family must have worried her. However, despite being bid several times Alenna's decision was unanimous.

"alright. I will fly to Surabaya tomorrow morning. Today I will help prepare all the files that Miss needs during my stay" explained Uncle Li who eventually relented as well.

"Siiippo. Alenna seneng. Bawain Alenna by-by, yes Uncle. Hehe."

"God willing I will bring you," said Uncle Li accompanied by a light laugh.

As soon as Uncle Li was about to leave the room, Alenna again prevented. Alenna just wanted to make more offers.

"If Uncle Li's son hasn't got a job, let's say Alenna is. Uncle Li's son could try to follow the selection at this company," Alenna said with a smile.

"Alhamdulillaahafemore. Miss Alenna is very kind-hearted. God willing I will tell you more." Uncle Li was full of gratitude.

Joyful happy. That's Alenna's mood. As Uncle Li suggested, Alenna would help Vero as much as she could. After all, Alenna should focus on preparing for her marriage to Rangga.

After a chat with Uncle Li that morning, Alenna was sent a short message by Mommy Monika. Explain that John back there business trip and will see him back in Jakarta. What makes Alenna happy, Mommy Monika advised that the father would discuss his wedding plans with Rangga.

"Assalamu'alaikum Alenna Beautiful!" hail Ranti.

Hearing Ranti's voice made Alenna quickly put down her smartphone, left a pile of files, and then ran to hug her best friend.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ran. I'm so happy!" Alenna hugged Ranti tightly.

"uwwo! Cap cus. Straight to the good news!" ranti orders while removing Alenna's embrace.

A long story quickly lined up like a train car. The series of stories delivered Alenna with great enthusiasm.

"Congratulations, yes Len. Finally your prayer was answered too. Continuously? When did you get married?" Ranti followed enthusiastically after hearing Alenna's story.

"Next month. I'd like to come here to discuss this further. I still can't go home, no." Alenna.

"Gue agrees you don't go home first. Ntar if you go home even more often meet Mas Ranggamu before legal. Worried you're doing some more hayooo!" aim Ranti.

Alenna. Instantly he woke up. One of the reasons he should not go home soon could be because of that. However, Alenna has a record of bad behavior towards Rangga.

"He'em, huh. I just shunned it. Mas Rangga also ordered me to be patient. Let our actions not lead to courtship before halal" explained Alenna.

"heeem. Lu mateng's future husband too, yes. That model is so antique, Len!" puji Ranti's.

The deg!

The thump in Ranti's chest was instantaneous. Ranti honestly did not want to talk about it. However, Ranti was also unable to harbor it.

"Ranti, how come diem is!" reproof Alenna.

"Em, that's .... Do you have a meeting schedule today? Or documents to check?" Ranti was looking for a gap for Alenna to refocus on the others.

Alenna's head bobble. The next second Alenna even provided two glasses of cold drink. One for him. Another one for Ranti to be more comfortable telling stories.

Ranti is still agitated. His anxiety is getting louder. Of course Alenna can easily capture Ranti's mood.

"Did something happen yesterday? Did Juno hurt you?" ask Alenna.

Ranti swallowed her saliva. His usual self-deplas-ceplos instantly lost his series of words.

Am I telling you the same story, Len? Batin Ranti's.

"okay-okay. Fix nih's. Something must have happened yesterday. Although I haven't known you in years, but I know part of you, Ran." Alenna took a break. "Drink first!" pinta Alenna's.

Ranti according. Sipped drinking water that Alenna had given.

Okey. I have to tell a story. I believe in you, Len. Batin Ranti's.

Alenna kept paying attention to Ranti's attitude. This time Ranti was calmer. Then, Alenna again tried to ask him.

"I don't want to make a. My advice, if there's a burden on your heart, it's better to share it." Alenna spoke softly, to the point of touching Ranti's heart.

A tear just escaped. Ranti had no power to stem her tears. Alenna immediately took a tissue, then rubbed Ranti's shoulder plan to calm down.

"Cup-cup. Don't be forced to tell a story, Ran!" prevent Alenna.

"Gue ... want a story, but I'm afraid you're angry!"

"Sst. Whatever it is, God willing, I am not angry. It's okay, tell me!" Alenna's convinced.

Alenna patiently waited for Ranti to tell her story. Until then, Alenna caught a small nod from him.

"Did you meet Juno yesterday?" Alenna decided to lure him in with a tanya.

"Yeah. So," I'm Ranti.

"Certainly? What makes you sad like this? Did Juno hurt you?" ask Alenna again, in a soft tone.

"Absolutely not. Juno's good. But ...." The sentence of Ranti is paused.

Alenna was patient waiting for Ranti to tell her story.

"Actually ... I was with Juno last night khilaf," said Ranti.

Alenna really did not understand Ranti's intentions. The Khilaf that Ranti meant could have been broad in meaning. Alenna didn't want to try to explain it.

"Khilaf how does that mean?" Alenna's been in the shoes.

"We ... last night was united," continued Ranti.

"United? You mean some kind of courtship? Or committed to a serious relationship?" Alenna felt this was already convoluted. Alenna needs more clarity.

Ranti shakes.

"I mean, I'm the same Juno's been through the unification minutes. Together achieve the pleasure of being covered with a long groan on the bed!" firmly Ranti with tears that wet the cheeks.

Pyars!

The glass of drinking water slipped out of Alenna's grasp. The expression of sin he had just heard was completely beyond his logic. Alenna surprise. So startled. Trying not to believe but not finding a lie gap from Ranti's gaze. The next second, Alenna's right hand floated up and landed right on Ranti's left cheek.

Plaque!
