The Love of Alenna

Chapter 33

Bule pretty tether Satria's heart was still reluctant to continue his sentence. Failing to be patient because so entangled with curiosity, Satria again asked. He looked at Alenna's bead gently. Satria's inner voice was moved through her beautiful eyes.

"Alenna, throw away your doubt. I will respect all your decisions." Satria took a word pause. The left hand of Alenna was free, then gently rubbed the back of the hand. "Do you intend to end our relationship?" ask Satria with the same soft word.

Alenna's heart was turbulent. Alenna really wants to commit to keep her love bond with Rangga. However, Alenna also could not ignore Satria's figure. It is the satria that for forty days is on the side. His figure is no longer just a private secretary, but also a filler of the heart.

"Sat, I-I ...."

Alenna's voice was blocked. Clear thread passes wetting the cheeks.

Alenna's precious thread can be easily interpreted by Satria. How Satria understood that Alenna's heart was turbulent beyond measure. Satria is aware of her feelings for Alenna. The same awareness of his status is only a temporary lover.

"A-I .. I'm actually." Alenna's words weren't so. The precious thread just keeps flowing.

Without diminishing the peace of the facial mimic, Satria rose up with a smile full of charm. Satria stood behind Alenna, bowed, and then wrapped her arms to hold Alenna's body from behind.

"I know you love Mr. Rangga so much. Forgive my selfish feelings, Alenna. Be happy with Mr. Rangga. Keep your love bond with her" whispered Satria in Alenna's ear.

"Sat" Alenna said, clasping Satria's hand against her neck.

"Thank you for your feelings. From tomorrow, I'll go away. Learn to fade those forbidden feelings" Satria asked as she whispered in Alenna's ear.

The taste buds in Alenna's chest grew more and more rampant. Satria's sentence clearly implies a confession of defeat to the feelings previously fought for. Alenna can clearly understand that Satria chose to leave her and Rangga's life.

"May I know where you're going?" ask Alenna.

Satria tightened her embrace, as if heavy with the decision she had taken.

"Somewhere," replied Satria without giving any more explanation.

"Are we not going to see each other again?" Back Alenna asked with her eyes closed enjoying Satria's embrace. It was as if the hug would never be felt again after this.

"We'll meet again later. When the meeting comes, I hope your feelings for me have changed as well. The same hope may happen to me. Let's both take a new step, Miss Alenna." Satria returned to the original greeting.

Alenna could no longer respond with words. Only one nod was created.

The hug came off. Alenna and Satria faced each other to say goodbye. Forty days were good for both. Forty days passed with forbidden feelings. After passing through, now they both decide to fade the taste that was previously wrapped in the poison of heresy.

"What about that mastermind? Do you still intend to see him?" Tetiba Alenna remembered.

"Miss Alenna don't worry. That's my business. I guarantee Mr. Rangga will not be a victim of his crimes anymore. Four of my men who have been converted will definitely protect Mr. Rangga while working on his ruko," said Satria was so polite. Satria treats Alenna back as superior.

"Be careful, Sat. Watch yourself!" Alenna's Message.

"Same message for Miss. Greetings also to Mr. Mario and Miss Anjani as soon as Miss Alenna and Mr. Rangga arrive in Jember tomorrow," Satria said with a bow of reverence.

"good. Thank you for everything, Satria Li Gresandy." Alenna called Satria's name in full while bowing in respect.

Satria's chest rumbled. Alenna treated him with the same respect. In that instant Alenna-Satria ended their affair sheet.

As soon as Alenna came back to the room. Satria sat quietly in the kitchen. His attitude is very calm.

"Dad, out. There is no need to hide anymore" Satria said with a smile.

"Eh? It's been found out, huh?" Uncle Li came out of hiding. He was the one who eavesdropped on Alenna and Satria's conversation from the start.

Uncle Li's steps were fixed on the two-door refrigerator. He took two bottles of cold drink, for him and for the son.

"Cool your head with this. Great for a broken hearted man!" chirp Uncle Li while giving a bottle of cold drink to the son.

Satria did not reject him. Nor did he deny or reply to his father's curse as usual. Satria admitted she was heartbroken.

"Dad heard all, right?" ask Satria.

"You know very well your father's eavesdropping ability." There's pause. Uncle Li sipped his drink. "Wise decision. Father supports. Then, where are you going? Or, just match you with a woman?"

"Yeah. I told you I don't want to be betrothed. Let me move on first from Alenna," said Satria.

Uncle Li chuckled. Just this time he saw the son was heartbroken by a woman.

"Where are you going on that move on mission?" ask Uncle Li.

"Solo City. My old boss asked me to help take care of his new business" Satria said.

"What business is that? Are you going back to work in that dark world, huh?" Uncle Li's tone slightly raised. There was a clear sternness on his face.

The mimic of Satria's face could not be interpreted once hearing the father's question. Soon, his face softened with a smile.

"Dad don't worry. I have absolutely no intention of returning to that world. It's an advertising and printing business. Yeah, not as big as Miss Alenna's company, anyway. But at least there's something I can do while moving on from Alenna. Who knows I was even told to be the star of the ad," replied Satria casually.

Uncle Li chuckled at the word advertising star.

"If you're really an advertising star, tell me. I want to see you acting in front of a screen. The director must have been wrong to manage you," said Uncle Li, followed by a light laugh.

Satria's lips pouted. The father just remembered that his acting skills in front of the screen were worth a huge zero. It was the opposite of his acting when playing tactics with crime.

"Successful for you, son. When you get back, bring a woman for you to introduce to me. Oya, Mr. Mario's offer is still you take, right?" ask Uncle Li.

One steady nod was cast by Satria.

"For Mr. Mario's offer, I'll take it. That's why I was in Solo for a while while moving on from Alenna. When it comes to father-in-law, ah. Along the way I try to lyric left right," promised Satria lightly.

"Baguuuus!" sahut Uncle Li.

Uncle Li's feeling was lighter. There was relief because the son had chosen to move on from Alenna. While Satria, though her heart was still spoiled, she tried hard in front of her father. His new steps stretched out ahead. Before the time to return it comes, Satria will make sure that the path will be brighter.

Morning has arrived. Alenna and Rangga had been tidy with luggage that was not so much. The couple is so romantic by helping each other to fix the clothes worn.

"The hair of Mas Rangga must be combed so that it gets cooler. Yep! This is her husband Alenna. Eemm, handsome!" Alenna praised Rangga.

"If I'm ugly where you want to be" said Rangga while fixing the brooch on the hijab of the wife.

"Ish, Mas Rangga. Even if it's bad, I'll make it, I'll treat it, I'll treat it with all my body, '" Alenna said.

"If it's still ugly?" rangga asked, chasing after Alenna's answer.

Alenna hugged Rangga's body tightly.

"Yes I still accept. Because Mas Rangga was destined to bond with Alenna. Guide me to be more solihah, yes Mas. Let it not be easy to waver and caliph again," said softly Alenna.

"Alhamdulillaahafemore. It's so good to hear it. Insha'allah. We're both happy, yeah. Now, let's have breakfast. Must have all been waiting below," asked Rangga.

"Come, Mas. Mas Rangga needs extra energy to be strong screaming right up his helicopter. Hihi," joked Alenna.

In return, Rangga touched Alenna's forehead. After joking around, Alenna-Rangga went to the dining table.

All four of the penitent Satria's men had sat in complete formation. Similarly, Uncle Li was inviting Alenna and Rangga to sit down. Of all that, only Satria was not seen there.

"Uncle, which Satria?" It is the customer who asks.

"Satria has been quiet since dawn. This is Satria's voicemail to Miss Alenna and Mr. Rangga."

Alenna and Rangga compactly looked at each other. Alenna already knew Satria's decision, but she did not expect that his departure would be this fast. As for Rangga, although he did not know the details, but the words of Uncle Li could easily be caught by his intent.

"Good morning Miss Alenna and Mr. Rangga. If Miss and Master hear this voice recording, then I'm gone. At the table, must have served a plate of fried rice complete with cow's eye eggs cooked lovingly. Don't be surprised, moved, let alone thank me for eating it, because I'm not the one who cooked it. The four men of Mr. Rangga prepared it. Em, sorry if it might feel less tempting. Probably too, salty."

Everyone laughed lightly at the recording. Soon, they heard the follow-up.

"Miss, sir, thank you for all the opportunities given. Sorry for all the mistakes. Also, forgive me if my service is not optimal. I resigned, and I'll see you again. Miss Alenna, Mr. Rangga, happy congratulations. Satria."

Unable to be covered, tears fall down the cheeks. Alenna quickly rubbed it. He did not want Rangga to know. However, Rangga who already knew about the relationship of Alenna and Satria before this could only pray for all the good. Rangga embraced Alenna, rubbing the back of the wife full of tenderness to give a sense of comfort.

"May my bond of love and Mas Rangga no longer waver because of my selfishness. Aamiin's." Inner Alenna.

In the middle of the blanket, Uncle Li got a call from Mario. The look on Uncle Li's face implied worry due to the bad news that had just been heard.
