The Love Story of Aina

12. Meet Aldo

Twenty minutes on the way they finally arrived at the mall they were headed to. The car that brought them into the basement to find a parking spot. After parking, they got out of the car and headed into the mall.

The goal is to go to the supermarket, not to the clothes anymore. Aina glanced at the watch in her hand, the clock pointed at four in the afternoon. Upon entering the mall door, Aina's phone rang quite loudly. Then Aina reached into her bag and grabbed her phone then she saw the screen where her father's name appeared.

Aina pulled the screen up and stuck her phone in the ear. Erni's mother looked towards Aina and asked with her hand gesture. Aina simply replied in a whisper.

"Assalamu Alaikum, what's wrong?"

"You're not done yet Ai, buy it?" ask her dad across there.

"Not yet, we just entered the mall. It was out of the boutique to buy clothes." replied Aina.

"Don't be long Ai, pity your sister Shella alone said to your mother, don't be afraid to spend it" said her father.

"Heheh. Yes, well, Aina will say the same mother. What do you want to buy?"ask Aina.

"Anyway, the soto behind the mall can also. It's good there the soto."

"Yes, Aina will buy it."

"Don't be the night Ai comes home."

"Yes yeah."

"Yes, I'm closing first.assalamu Alaikum..."

"Greetings hallaikum."

"What did Ai's father say?"ask mom when she enters the supermarket and picks up the trolley.

"Say Dad, don't buy it for long Mom. Dad said mom don't miss her shopping." replied Aina with a smile.The mother just sneered.

"Ehm .. That's it, come out for a while already on the telepin continues" said Erni's mother.

"Yes let's go shopping, we share the task so ma'am hurry" said Aina.

"Yes, mom in the vegetable and meat section. You go to the fruit and seasoning section. Jhody you're Snack's part."

"Okay, ma'am!" answer them simultaneously.

Then they split into their own parts.

Aina headed for the fruit section at the very corner, she immediately carefully picked the fresh fruits neatly arranged on the shelf. He chose one by one so that no fruit was rotten and had withered. As his hand was picking at the melon, someone called out his name from behind.

Aina looked back and saw Aldo approaching her. He smiled faintly and again picked his melon. Aldo watched what Aina did.

"Aina, how are you?" tanya Aldo stood beside Aina who was picking fruit.

"Alhamdulillah is good." replied Aina briefly.

"See what Ai?" ask Aldo again.

"See, what am I doing?" said Aina.

Aldo looked at the basket Aina was holding, some fruit he had already taken. She did not not not not not know, but just to find a topic of conversation and just talk stale, because for a long time she did not meet with Aina.

"A lot of fruit. Is there an important event in your house?"

"Yes, the show is very important."

"What way?"

"Infiancee."

"You want Ai's fiancee?" aldo asked, pretending to be surprised.

"No, brother. You don't pretend you don't know, Al." said Aina, getting upset because she knew Aldo would know that his best friend would be engaged to his sister.

Aldo was silent. He scratched the head of the back that was not itchy. He took a deep breath and just smiled stiffly. Then he went back to looking for another topic.

"Sorry Ai, it's just a small talk. Heheh." said Aldo chuckling.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Everyone who apologizes to me, I'm sorry." said Aina again.

"Mhm ...."

"Have Arya apologized?"

"For what?"

Aldo was silent again, he thought of his next speech. It turned out that Aina was cold and flat on him, it was hard to get close to Aina. What's more now, he might be disappointed once in Arya.

"Said Arya, you refused to meet her. What, are you angry?" aldo asked doubtfully.

He looked at Aina's face carefully. Finding out if Aina was still disappointed and angry at Arya. Aren't they soon to be brothers and sisters-in-law.

"What did I meet?" aina asked still while choosing citrus fruits.

Aldo was a little confused by Aina's attitude this time. Although Aina is quiet and not too close to someone, but if she is spoken to she will answer gently and casually. Not being as cold and indifferent as you are today.

"You're angry Aina?" ask Aldo again.

"What am I angry about? I have no business with Arya anymore. After all, she will be my sister-in-law, why be angry." replied Aina.

Now, he turned to look at Aldo seriously. Aldo who was looked at like that became wrong behavior. His eyes shifted to any direction. While Aina again chose fruit again, now she went to the grapes that look very fresh. Aldo still followed Aina's steps.

"She wanted to apologize for using you back then. He thought you were nothing and it was okay to approach your sister" Aldo said at last saying what Arya had told him.

"Why me? I'm not angry, and just think of me as a comlang she's like my sister, and produce? She now wants a fiancee, that means I helped her efforts to get close to my sister." replied Aina in a heavy voice.

His heart is sad again. Aldo was again confused by the answer that only revolved around it. Sighing deeply, in Aina's eyes again. And she felt that Aina looked sweet when she looked closely, Aldo thought.

"When he took you and your sister out in the morning, in the garden he saw you crying Ai. And since then you always avoid Arya on campus. Not only Arya, but I also you avoid Ai." finally Aldo honest.

Aina was just silent, she closed her eyes and held her breath.His heart ached again why Aldo was still discussing it. He also looked at Aldo, which made Aldo become his own misbehavior.

"Al, do not have to be revealed for a long time. It's been two years, now I'm busy taking care of my job. I can't meet Arya. I beg you not to reveal any more about the past, I'm afraid my father and mother know it all and will derail his engagement. What else is his show tomorrow is their engagement. My father would not hesitate to get angry if his son was hurt by one of them. After all, they are happy. Do not spoil their happiness with a past that is not important" said Aina at length.

Aldo went back to silence, he was still engrossed in watching Aina.'If it continues to be noticed longer, it turns out Aina is more sweet.' said Aldo in his heart.

"Aldo." call Aina.

Aldo snapped from his daydream. Her gaze diverted, she did not want Aina to know she was daydreaming herself, then sighed. Throw away her nervousness.

"Is there a chance for me, Ai?" aldo asked unconsciously.

"What opportunity?" aina asked confusedly.

"Once again your heart goes to my heart, Ai." joked Aldo in the end.

Aina just smiled. " No way, I'll stay again." replied Aina back relaxed.

"I'm not leaving you" Aldo said, hearing Aina's joke.

"Did, the rubber's out. Huhah!"

"Hahah ... Who else is fighting?"

"Yes you are"

Now they return to chatting casually, after a long time they did not meet because of their respective activities. Aldo is increasingly interested in Aina, in the face of her continues the sweet girl in front of him. Until the voice of his brother Jhody awakened Aldo's daydream.

"Kak Aina really long time looking for the fruit. I've been waiting for you since" said Jhody who approached Aina.

"Yes, this is done. Al, I'm first yeah." said Aina farewell.

Aldo just nodded. Then Aina and her sister left Aldo alone. While Aldo just stared at the departure of Aina and her sister until it disappeared.
