Chapter 50

It was already noon and the atmosphere inside Alvan's office was quiet. There was only the sound of AC and paper opening back and forth.

"This master is already noon time for Zhuhur prayer and lunch," Aulia said as she looked at the clock on her wrist.

"It doesn't feel like time is rolling so fast" muttered Alvan, stopping his work. Then, he pointed the wheelchair at the bathroom in the left corner of the room.

Alvan has learned to pray and usually if he prays he does that in the room where he breaks. He also told Aulia to pray there, no need to go to the mosque downstairs or to the mosque across the street.

It didn't feel like Aulia had been working two months in Alvan's office. According to him, Alvan is a firm boss at employees, he is hardworking, and great at running every job he carries. In addition, Alvan is a person who often acts annoying to him while to other employees he is flat and does not talk much.

"Master, can I take a vacation?" Aulia expressed her wish.

"Why do you want a vacation?" ask Alvan.

"I miss Joseph's grandfather and Halimah's grandmother. Wanting to meet face to face and hug them," Aulia replied honestly.

"All right, give me two days" Alvan replied.

"There may be enough travel alone to take all day. Once you get there, you have to go back. My body must have been crumbling. Let me take two weeks off like Mario" Aulia said.

Aulia is now a girl who is chatty because she often argues with her boss. There was Alvan who made Aulia have to nag every day.

"can't. Mario doesn't owe me anything when you do" Alvan replied. Again the debt that was used as a weapon by Alvan.

Aulia pouted and returned to her desk. He was angry with his boss. If it had been like this he would have quietly closed his lips.

Alvan silently watched Aulia. It was obvious sadness from the look in his eyes. However, he did not want to be long abandoned by Aulia.

'Will he also meet a man named Ahmad?' alvan asked in his heart.

That day Alvan couldn't focus on working. His thoughts always turned to Aulia. Though the person was still in front of his eyes, but he felt that Aulia was far away from him.

"Aulia, I give you three days off. I think that's enough" said Alvan breaking the silence between them.

Aulia did not respond to Alvan's words. He was busy typing something on his laptop. For him, it was free to take a vacation during that time.

Aulia wanted to see Joseph's grandfather and Halima's grandmother to make sure that they were all well. Although Pearl, Iqbal, and others say that Joseph's grandfather and Halimah's grandmother are in good and healthy condition.

Alvan starts to rouse as Aulia does not respond to him. Even when Mario came, Aulia was not as usual.

"Aulia has no more offers. You can leave for four days no more" said Alvan when he was going home from work.

Aulia remained silent not to refute her superior's remarks or to deny them. In fact, Aulia was thinking about how she could take advantage of this short time off, which could be as effective as possible when being with people she already considered family.

In the car, Aulia was silent. When he reached Alvan's house, he was still silent. Until dinner time Alvan Aulia was still silent.

"Aulia, are you mad at me?" alvan asked as his assistant prepared rice and side dishes into the dish.

"Why? It's not that you're angry because I don't allow you to leave," Alvan replied as he looked at Aulia who only had eyes.

"It wasn't that you gave me four days' leave" Aulia replied.

"Oh, you go home! I'm not hungry either. Missing my appetite," said Alvan annoyed and left the dining table.

Aulia just stared at Alvan's departure. He was also not in the mood to speak at this moment. His body was tired and heavy. His head was also dizzy and heavy.

"Miss, are you two fighting?" ask the butler.

"No. It's just that we're being bad at communicating today" Aulia replied.

""Okay, why is it like this? Though we are happy Mr. Alvan can be cheerful and want to talk again. If there is a problem, please speak carefully and resolve it as soon as possible" said the butler.

"Non Aulia, please persuade Mr. Alvan to eat. Don't let his stomach ulcer recur again," pinta one of his servants.

So, Aulia also brought a plate containing rice and side dishes were brought to the top floor. Usually starting at 19:00 Alvan is always in his study room right next to the bedroom.

As expected Aulia that Alvan was in her study. It looks like the man is reading a book. So Aulia knocked on the door that was not closed.

"May I come in, sir?" ask Aulia.

This time it was Alvan who broke down to speak to Aulia. The man only glanced at her at a glance then continued reading again.

"I just want to give up this. I'm tired of cooking all this for you. If it is not eaten, then I will not want to cook again," said Aulia and left.

"I'll come with you" said Alvan and stopped Aulia's steps.

Aulia turned her body and looked at Alvan with a clueless look. He convinced himself that what he had just heard was not wrong.

"I mean, Mister?" ask Aulia.

"I'll come with you to go home" Alvan repeated.

"Back home?" Aulia.

'My hometown is here. What does it mean to Yusuf's grandfather's village?' inner Aulia.

"Thank you, Mister. I can go alone," Aulia replied.

"Don't you want to go home for two weeks? Yes, I will follow you all to study religion with Joseph's grandfather" said Alvan.

"You sure you want to come with me back to the village?" ask Aulia to convince.

"Yes. When are we leaving?" ask Alvan back.

"Hm, I thought maybe the day after tomorrow. Because tomorrow you have an important meeting schedule, "Aulia replied.

"alright. And you also have to prepare all my needs for while there," concluded Alvan and did not want to be denied when he saw Aulia about to talk.

What about Aulia and Alvan in the village with Joseph's grandfather? Wait for it to go, yeah!
