The Matchmaker in Pursuing Dateline
29
Alvaro invites Aletta to walk to the dock after telling the girl to change her wet clothes.
there were only two of them there, Aletta occasionally pointed at the passing fishing boat until some small children were swimming there.
"What is your college Al?" Ask Alvaro
"Next week if there is no obstruction of inshaAllah the thesis session" replied Aletta
"Hopefully" said Alvaro
"Aamiin"
Aletta tightens her jacket in nervousness. Aging with Alvaro innan make the heart deg serrrr
"I..."
"Yes"
"later malem I went to Surabaya" said Alvaro
hearing Alvaro who will go out of the city makes Aletta's mood turn sad.it does not feel willing if you have to be far away.when just met already gone again. haaaah
but Aletta tries to behave as usual, "to Surabaya? In order? how long, doc?" Herb
Alvaro laughed for a moment. A laugh that could make Aletta freeze looked at him
"The first time I saw the doctor was laughing... The doctor became more handsome" his great-grandson slowly
"What are you talking about, Al?" Ask Alvaro
"Nothing,"
How could Aletta have said that she was fascinated to see Alvaro laughing. Not ready mentally
"There is training there, hmm at most 3 days at most one week." Answer Alvaro
"hmm, hopefully the activities are smooth" said Aletta who does not know what to say 'cepet home if it is finished" but she was embarrassed.
"I..."
"Yes"
"I want to say something to you..."
Glug
Aletta was biting her lower lip, feeling nervous.
Want to say what the hell doctor Varo, do not make a double-duh, you know it feels rich again waiting for the graduation announcement but more stressful than that, inner Aletta
"I like you Aletta"
Aletta's eyes were round, her mouth gaping, it felt like the world had stopped that second as well.
Aletta was still staring at Alvaro her tongue was cuckoo, she wanted to say 'you're serious Var?' but his voice seemed to be stuck
Aletta speaking woiii... Don't get rich like this. Inner Aletta.
"You must be surprised, I..."
"Aletta"
The two people turned their heads, Aletta frowned, "brother Bobby?"
Alvaro looked at Aletta and the man who called the girl's name took turns. I wonder what relationship there is between the two.
"Hi Al's..." Say hello to Aletta and then smile faintly while nodding politely at Alvaro
"Hi sister" said Aletta awkwardly, "is not here?" Ask Aletta
"So I saw Andin's story in IG, it turns out you guys are here again so I'm samperin deh" explained Bobby
"Nyamperin' here?" ask Aletta in disbelief
"I'm on vacation here as well, so all of you nyamperin. Somebody wants me to talk to you Al" Bobby said
Aletta's feelings were not good, her gut feeling said the former BEM chairman on her campus would say things Aletta currently does not want to hear.
"I like you Al"
Duars!!!
Two love-expression bullets have penetrated Aletta's ears in less than ten minutes
Alvaro was surprised to hear it but he immediately controlled his feelings of putting his flat face back on. His eyes still continued to pay attention to Aletta's reaction.
"Sister, I..."
"I'm not asking you to answer now Al, later if you're ready..." Sela Bobby, "I say yes Al, tomorrow we meet on campus" said Bobby who immediately left Aletta who immediately fell on the dock.
"Al, aren't you papa?" Ask Alvaro
Aletta shook her head, "I want to go home ..." Prattling
Alvaro nodded, he helped Aletta up, "we go straight home"
Aletta nodded weakly, she did not even say goodbye to Alea and the others. It can be taken care of later he thought. Now his mood is in chaos
Alvaro drove Aletta home, the whole way the girl just kept quiet while staring out the window. There was no cheerful Aletta like this morning.
Alvaro could only guess that Aletta was in a dilemma. Then what was Aletta's relationship with that guy. Is it possible that old love has not gone away?
"Lo go back and say" Alea's scolding that directly broke into Aletta's room followed Andin who was curious because Alvaro told them to go straight home.
"Where was Lo taken by Varo? He shot you?" Ask Andin enthusiastically because he was happy that finally his two friends were no longer single
Alea's eyebrows shot up, feeling strange with Aletta's attitude that was only silent from earlier.
Aletta if diem like this is usually only two because the first is sad and the second is sprained, this is a child why? Thought Alea
"Le.. lo why?" Alea asked worriedly
Aletta just shook her head.
"Lo sad?" Ask Alea again
Aletta nodded back
"Ck! Le kel why?" Ask Alea directly. If Aletta is asked sad to shake it means that the girl is upset.
Aletta exhaled and then told the incident at the dock without being reduced.
"What!!?? Bobby's the BEM chairman?" Pekik Andin who is Aletta
"Bobby our upperclassman fit high school that once deket same you keep him ghosting?" Ask Andin again
Aletta is upset, why should we talk about the past.
"It's not like she's dating Gita, the model is" Andin said
"So he said it means that he has broken up with Gita, Ndin" Alea said
"Keep answering what?" Ask Andin
"He said don't answer first." Answer Aletta
"Certain Varo?" Alea's turn to the Coke
Aletta shook her head, "she even finished talking... Argh I've been where Bobby said I'll see you tomorrow at college" Aletta buried her face in a pillow
Alea patted her forehead softly, "samperin Varo gih.."
Aletta raised her head and shook her head, "she must have left for Surabaya"
"Ck! If so you have to immediately give an answer to Bobby Al, I'm afraid Varo misunderstood later" said Andin
Aletta nodded, "gue should talk tomorrow.."
"Excuse me non." said mbok Sum from behind the door that happened to not be closed
"Yes mbok, what's wrong?" Ask Alea
"This is a non-existent delivery of flowers for non Aletta" mbok Sum entered in the follow of a young maid carrying a bouquet of large roses in her hand
Andin took the greeting card that was tucked open the card "I want to love you simply, without having to think about the complexity of the physics formula and the difficulty of economic calculations. Bobby Love"
Aletta rounded her eyes, "astaga" a second later her phone rang
"Who?" Ask Alea
"No number is known" replied Aletta
"Surely Bobby" Andin said
Hearing that name Aletta said nothing to lift him up, "how do you want?????"
"Here I pick up" Alea picked up Aletta's phone and welcomed the call
"Hello"
"......."
"Sorry who is this?"
"......"
"Oh brother Bobby, sorry this brother Alea."
"......"
"Aletta's taking another shower. Anyone want to be sidelined?
"......"
"Sister has been accepted, thank you very much"
"........"
"Oh yes brother. later Alea sapein.'
"......."
"The same" Alea exhaled after the call ended
"What's he saying?" Ask Andin impatiently
"Only Aletta where, the flowers have been accepted if the same ballom tomorrow meet on campus"
Aletta buried her face in the mattress, fix the next days on campus will feel heavier than the usual day.
