The Love of Alenna

Chapter 7

Sunday morning. Azan dawn has not yet reverberated. Alenna had woken up with her panda eyes clearly circular. Alenna's sleep last night wasn't good at all. Excessive worrying makes it difficult to sleep.

Clean yourself and clean clothes. It's all done. Alenna also performed the morning service. Alenna long enough to think, while begging forgiveness for all the khilaf. In between his prayers, Alenna had mentioned the name of Rangga, so that the man could be destined to mate with him.

Alenna spent all day in her apartment. He has no interest in getting out. Alenna filled the time to finish some of her office work. Important documents are studied for signature. Alenna also vC ria with newlyweds Mario-Anjani, Mommy Monika, and John the father.

"Actually I have Mas Rangga's number, but .... Ah, no-no. Mario will know and will not let me go home. Huft."

In the end, Alenna was back late in work.

***

Days pass. Alenna is getting to know the environment of Jakarta, the office environment, and the employees there. Alenna was getting used to her work routine. Many meetings, relationship affairs, and piles of documents turned his attention to the figure of Rangga. In addition, for days Alenna also ignored Juno's short messages that every day never absent sent him a pleasant message.

Alenna met Barra more often. Not just on weekends, but on normal days as well. Alenna knew more about Barra, and began to know that Barra was five years old. Instantly Alenna changed her greeting to Mas Barra.

"Mas Barra tonight I'll introduce you to my new friend, yes. Name's Ranti. I also have good news for Mas Barra" Alenna said by phone. "Meet at the cafe where Mas Barra works only," added Alenna.

At half-time eight in the evening, Alenna picked up Ranti. Ranti is an employee of her company, and is in the human resources division. Ranti is used to selecting employees who apply in her company. The thing that makes Alenna quickly familiar is because Ranti is the same age as her.

"Alenna, your phone's shaking tuh." Ranti's used to your greeting me, and she's not hijab.

"Belvin. Just a small text message" Alenna said, focusing on driving.

"I think people often send you messages, deh. What's-her-name? Juno?" ask Ranti.

"Yep," replied Alenna briefly.

"Em, if you don't want to be with Juno, just mending for me. I know you, dong. It's a year old girl, it's!" lamented Ranti.

"Eit, if you know what to do?" Alenna kepo's.

"I want to date you." Ranti.

Alenna did not tell Ranti at all that Juno was her ex-boyfriend.

"Ranti, I told you. There is no such thing as dating before halal. Mending straight married. Like my friend, Meli and Mas Azka. Baper abis deh if you know their love story. One more thing, you really don't want to look like me?" alenna asked while playing her eyebrows.

"Heeem. Start the lecture. Anyway my doain let me cepet get your kayak," said Ranti.

"Aamiin" said Alenna.

Ranti always praised Alenna's performance and kindness. In her little heart, Ranti desperately wants to look like Alenna, but there is still prestige in her heart.

"At hand. Remember, ask Mas Barra like a job interview. If you think he's competent, enter him immediately to join the division you recommend. Please, Miss Ranti!" Alenna invited Ranti.

Barra is waiting. After a brief acquaintance with Ranti and a little pleasantries, Barra was immediately asked questions like a job interview. At first Barra was a little confused because Alenna was not conveying anything. However, the answer Barra gave apparently made Ranti satisfied. He has even decided.

"Mas Barra apparently had studied economics but did not continue" Ranti repeated while nodding.

Barra who still did not know anything could only rub his nape. However, Barra sensed a good feeling was about to come toward him.

"Mas Barra must be confused, what's going on?" Alenna smiled guessing Barra's thoughts.

"Hehe, yes." Barra cengar-cengar's.

"Where, Ran?" Alenna gave the code for Ranti to convey the result.

"OKAY. This is Mas Barra. I, um, I mean, Mas Barra has an interesting competence. Is Mas Barra willing to work in our company?" Ranti smiled kindly.

Barra immediately said hamdalah out loud. He was shocked and happy with the news he had just received.

"Bismilla. I really want to." Barra ready. "Em, but the rules in this cafe if you want to apply for a resign must be one month before," added Barra.

Ranti tells Barra to start working the day after tomorrow. There is one day to prepare everything. Ranti and Alenna pamit. Ranti heads to the car first, leaving Alenna still chatting with Barra.

"Alenna, I'm really grateful. Em, take this money to repay my debt." Barra handed me an envelope with her severance pay.

Alenna's hand gently pushed the envelope that Barra was thrusting. Alenna smiled and shook her head.

"Use to buy shirts, pants, shoes, and other equipment for work. The rest could be Mas Barra sent to Mas Barra's parents in the village" said softly Alenna.

The deg!

One pink fragrance shone in Barra's heart. Suddenly Barra's heart was beating. Alenna's smile and gaze that night felt completely different. Alenna's figure has stolen a piece of her heart. That night, Barra realizes that she is in love with Alenna.

"I'll go home first, Mom. Assalamu'laikum," said Alenna, then walked away

"Wa'laikumsalam," said Barra while holding his left chest.

Barra looked at the car carrying Alenna and Ranti starting to move away. However, his heart was still beating melodiously.

"Alenna, let me love you" said Barra.

In the car, Alenna was unceasingly smiling. It caught Ranti's attention to ask.

"Lu has a crush on Mas Barra, huh Len?" ask Ranti.

"Eits. Yeah nope. Just friends" explained Alenna.

"Btw, Mas Barra okay too. Body okay has. Sure you don't have a crush?" ask Ranti.

"Remain sure, no. I have Mas Rangga in Jember anyway" I'm Alenna.

"Uwu, the more kepo I. What is it like to make an Alenna fall in love?" Ranti put up her hearing properly.

"Ep. Mas Rangga was diligent in going to the mosque. Likes naji. Help her mother work. Self-sufficient. Gallant." Alenna did not continue. She smiled at Rangga.

"Oh. Message from Juno you ignored. It turns out that in your heart there is already Mas Rangga. Fix it, yeah. You should know me as Juno. Who knows he's my soul mate" urged Ranti.

Alenna smiled mischievously towards Ranti.

"But Juno likes hijab girls" Alenna said.

"Ah, I have to get used to it. Be happy for a soul mate!" hiss Ranti.

"Sst. Fixing intention. Did it change just for love?" chirped Alenna.

"Yes-yes, baffles! Uh, but I'm serious. I know Juno, yeah. I must support you as Mas Rangga adore your heart." Ranti pleads.

Alenna breathed deeply. He doesn't think about Ranti.

"OKAY. Come if I go home. Ntar I know," promised Alenna.

"Yeah!" exclaim Ranti girang.

Rangga, Juno, Barra, in the course of the night took turns being the topic of conversation of Ranti and Alenna. Without them realizing a car was trailing them. In fact, the man in the car had already noticed Alenna's movements since at the cafe. The man was the man that Alenna had once rejected on her request for a date. The man was the man that Alenna caught while playing in love with a bright red lipstick. That man is Vero. Arvero Dewanggi's.

"Prepare yourself, Alenna." Vero smiled meaningfully as he stared intensely at the speeding car right in front of him.
