The Love of Alenna

Chapter 18

Vero's smile was beautiful. In his hand was already a sprig of white roses and a box of chocolate cashew nuts. Without fading her smile, Vero gave the flowers and chocolates to Alenna. A little forced him to accept.

“Babang Vero want to do something early in the morning here?” It is the Rant who asks.

“Hai. You're Ranti, Alenna's best friend, right?” ask Vero trying to get along.

The look on Ranti's face instantly turned brighter. His heart flowered because an Arvero Dewanggi could know his name.

“Absolutely. I ... ahem, I mean, Alenna's my best friend. I'm pretty like this too because of Alenna. Em, Babang Vero's here to see Alenna, okay? Sorry, Alennanya want to go to ...”

Alenna quickly silenced Ranti's mouth. Not out of thought, Ranti can immediately be as familiar as it is just because Vero knows his name.

“Sorry, Vero. I have a need with Ranti,” explained Alenna without further explanation.

“Yeah. I want to be lectured again. All of you want to ask for advice to change my father for the better,” said Vero.

The look on Vero's face was deliberately disappointed. Lost is already the authority that is usually shown in front of employees in his company. Love can change the heart, but it can also hurt if you are not careful.

After thinking for a moment and telling Vero to wait, Alenna immediately called someone. The one who called was someone who had memorized the Jakarta environment, and had received Alenna's kindness with 100 million dollars.

“Vero, can you send us your home address?” alenna asked after calling.

“Of course. You want to play at my house, huh?” Vero enthusiast.

“Not really. Starting later in the afternoon there will be an ustad who will guide you. His name is ustad Barra!” assertive Alenna while photographing Vero's business card.

Vero. She thought Alenna was going to her house to help her change.

“But I want you to come to my house, Alenna.” Vero refused.

“Mode!” chirps Ranti.

Alenna quickly turned around and gave an eye code so that Ranti was silent for a moment. Ranti nodded, then chose to sit on the sofa.

“Vero, sorry. I'm in a hurry. Now I ask. Are you serious about changing?” alenna asked without making a joke.

“Sure. I want to be good like you, to deserve to be your companion.” Vero.

“Fix. Starting later in the afternoon you will be guided by Ustad Barra. Monday afternoon there is a test you need to answer. Around your studies with Ustad Barra. If you answer successfully, you can meet me. But if not, don't expect to see me. Flowers and chocolates I received. Now, you can go home!” Alenna closed her explanation cheerfully. It feels good to be able to throw Vero out after a long talk.

Getting such treatment even makes Vero happy. At all Vero did not feel that Alenna had been expelled. Precisely Vero felt, the road to be closer to Alenna more open.

“I knew you were going to Jember. I let you go. Once you return, I will never let you go again,” Vero promised in my heart.

“I said goodbye first, yes. Ranti, come!” Alenna called Ranti.

Vero nodded and left Alenna with Ranti.

***

At half-nine in the morning, Alenna and Ranti had already landed in the city of Jember. The two beautiful girls walked towards the exit. Alenna plans to use online transportation services to hotels that have previously been booked via online as well.

"Get your suitcase here, Ran. Waita minute. I ordered the car online" Alenna said.

Just as Alenna finished ordering, two handsome men approached while greeting her.

"Assalamu'alaikum, my brother."

Hello Mario made Alenna immediately turn her head. Alenna reflexively shuts her mouth in shock at the arrival of Mario, the older brother. Even more surprising to him, there was Rangga next to Mario. Her husband-to-be waved for a while, then smiled and greeted.

"Len, who are they? All the handsome." Ranti is fascinated to see Mario and Rangga.

Mario smiled and introduced himself to Ranti while clenching his hands in front of his chest. Ranti nodded while mimicking Mario's hand movements.

"Why do you know I'm here?" alenna asked her sister, carefully.

Alenna's heart was pounding due to an unplanned meeting. Moreover, from earlier Alenna's eyeballs could not stop stealing a glance towards Rangga.

"Have you forgotten my connections everywhere?" Mario smiled, so that his brother was no longer afraid of his arrival that must be surprising.

A strange smile was chosen by Alenna to overcome awkwardness. Alenna's been caught red-handed. The plan to go home secretly, he was the one who got the surprise.

"Where are you going after this? The rangga? I brought him here." Mario is planning.

Alenna returned with an indistinct smile. He glanced at Ranti, but the one glanced at him shrugged his shoulders. Signs that Ranti doesn't know.

"Ehem. Em ... Ranti, this handsome one is my brother. Name's Mario. And that one, he's Mas Rangga. My future husband" explained Alenna.

"I'm Ranti. His friend Alenna in Jakarta. It's so nice to meet you guys. Your faces are eleven twelve equal oppa korea. Hehe," praise Ranti.

Mario and Rangga both smiled at Ranti's praise.

"Cancel the hotel reservation. You go home. No need to hide from me anymore. Mommy left town this morning with her friend. Find souvenirs for your party later. Dad is also on a business trip, and should have met you Monday in Jakarta" Mario said at length.

Relieved. That was what Alenna was feeling right now. To be honest what he was most afraid of was the anger of Mario, for going home secretly. Alenna agreed to go home. With Ranti of course. The matter of meeting with Juno, it can be thought of later.

"Ranti, come!" take Alenna, so Ranti follows her to Mario's car.

"Anjani!" exclaiming Alenna then poured into the arms of the wife of the brother.

Apparently Anjani was waiting near the car. Alenna who was so longed for Anjani was immediately hugged tightly in continued cipika-cipiki.

"How are you?" ask Anjani.

"I'm good. Did my brother treat you well? Or every day he asks you for rations?" ask Alenna bluntly.

"Alenna, it seems you consume less petai, to wasteful words like that. Ask questions if there is no me. Now, get your friend in the car!" mario's reprimands and advice simultaneously.

Alenna Manyun then took Ranti in the car.

***

The luxury housing complex.

Ranti stammered at the sighting of the luxurious mansion that the Alenna family occupied. Even more amazed by the hospitality and elegance of Anjani. Now, Ranti sits with Mario-Anjani, Rangga and Alenna at the dinner table. The cook has prepared Alenna's favorite dishes.

After the meal together, Anjani pamit to the shophouse. Mario also took part to accompany Anjani, then headed for a subsidiary. Something has to be taken care of there. Especially the embezzlement of investment funds from the Vero company.

"Mommy's just coming home tomorrow night. Today I am ordering a work holiday. Talk to him. You're getting married soon. I can't possibly keep you from meeting Rangga. But remember, keep your distance and keep your attitude." Mario advises.

"Hehe. You've trusted me again, haven't you?" ask Alenna.

"I believe you won't be perverted with Rangga again. Uncle Li has told me a lot about your change in Jakarta. So, there is no need to secretly come here to meet Rangga," said Mario, he deliberately spoke some distance from the others.

Looks like my brother doesn't know my true intentions. I went home to help Ranti talk to Juno. Ah, my good intentions were immediately rewarded with a meeting with Mas Rangga. Yes I'm happy. Think Alenna. He unconsciously smiled alone.

"Why smile? Get rid of your perverted thoughts to Rangga!" firmly Mario.

"No! Who wants to fuck. I've changed well. In Jakarta there even I often help Mas Barra, Mbak Jeni, Ranti, even Vero to be good too." Alenna was talking.

Mario breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled. He believed in his sister.

"I'll go first. Anjani. We're just going home in the afternoon. If Rangga wants to go home, just tell the driver to drive him."

Mario was too happy. After delivering some messages to Rangga, he stepped over to Anjani, then took her out to the car.

Alenna smiled. He glanced towards Rangga who was still finishing his meal at the dining table. Alenna rejoins Ranti and Rangga at the dinner table.

"Ran, eat a lot. Don't hesitate!" get Alenna.

"Sip!" sahut Ranti's.

Alenna's gaze turned towards Rangga. Apparently at that time Rangga also looked towards Alenna. Be, their views meet at once.

"Mas Rangga .. has ijab qobul been trained?" ask Alenna.

"Ohuk!" Rangga choked on hearing Alenna's unexpected question.

I don't know what was on Alenna's mind at the time. Of the many questions, that was precisely the topic he was asking.

"Em, sorry-sorry. Mas Rangga finish the meal first, deh. We'll talk to Ranti soon." Alenna was not feeling well.

Rangga smiled and nodded. The tongue of Rangga kelu due to gerogi due to his meeting with Alenna.

"Sst. Shamefaced. You should ask me for news, Len!" Ranti Whispers.

"Belgium!" reply Alenna.

"Hishihi. Btw, is Mario-Anjani still in college?" ranti asked without whispering again.

"really. His wife and boss are still students. But they are independent and good at business. Boss Mario has even helped subsidiaries," explained Rangga who is no longer clumsy.

"Wow. Young, successful and happy. Want to be like them. Moreover, Anjani. Well, just met you already left a good impression. Beautiful, graceful, meek. Must have been before marriage with your sister, Anjani must have had a lot of fancies. Aren't you, Len?" ask Ranti who is kepo.

"Ohuk!" Rangga choked back.

Alenna understood very well why Rangga was choking. Rangga was one of the men who had also fallen in love with Anjani.

"Ehem. Ran, want to know one little secret? You have to know this to be more airy about accepting all things Juno" whispered Alenna.

Upon seeing Ranti nod, Alenna quickly continued her whisper.

"Juno's not just my ex-boyfriend. Actually, Juno also once desperately pursued the love of Anjani," added Alenna.

"What?!"

Ranti surprised. Very surprised. Ranti came all the way from Jakarta to ask Juno to marry her soon. However, will it be that easy to see the facts? Moreover, Juno's promise that night was only limited to trying to start learning to love him.

Is it easy for me to get married to Juno? Batin Ranti's.
