"Alvaro belom ngabin?" Alea asked who saw her sister constantly staring at her mobile phone since this morning even the food cooked by Mr. Salim had not been touched.

Aletta shook her head, "it was a night when she was transiting in Amsterdam"

"Yaudah ntar also he ngabarin elo santuy. anyways there must still be malem can just as nyampe Varo immediately sleep tired surely he must be.."

"Yes anyway"

"Well, how's the ballom in the meal?" Ask Papa Ferdi who just came

"Si Aletta is still waiting for news from Varo" Alea said

"So he will call you Al, maybe he will rest tired from here to Germany can be 24 hours later until it is no matter how many times the transit" explained Papa Ferdi

"Yes pa"

"Eat first, this brother we have a board meeting papa ga want ya you are absent just because of love problems"

"Well, Aletta is a professional"

"It's good that way."

"Good day om"

"Good day Rey, please sit down"

Aletta rolled her eyeballs lazily, she again, she thought

"Don't Al eat it?" Tanya Reynar who saw the food on Aletta's plate is still intact, "don't like it, but I brought cake from my mama" Reynar put orange paper bag complete with the name of the cake shop.

Seeing her daughter unmoved, Ferdi's father nudged Aletta's arm, "Al"

"Thank you" he said slowly

"Everything you like" Reynar said with a full smile, "eat Al later you're sick"

Aletta didn't say she was just quiet and started bribing her food.

"Oh yes Al, you have no time, mama I want to see you. He said he wanted to see his son-in-law.."

Aletta, who was just about to bribe the rice, looked at Reynar, wanting to curse the man, but his phone rang a picture of him and Alvaro filled the screen without waiting for Aletta to pick him up.

"Hello"

"Hello Al"

Hearing her voice, Aletta's mood was immediately happy

"Are you there?"

"Udah, I'm sorry about my new phone call lowbat"

"Thank God, the important thing is that you're safe."

"There must be noon. Don't forget lunch"

"Eum... It's me taking a break. Don't you forget what time it is?"

"It's just early morning.."

"Don't forget to have breakfast"

"I might want to take a break. Later the new breakfast continues to the laboratory om Dito"

"Hmm so excited"

"Judah I know you eat. Continue eating first. I'll call you back later. Bye dear."

Aletta's cheeks met red, "bye" he said, turning off the call

"Valo was there?" Ask Alea

Aletta nodded, "already"

"Jude, let's eat." Papa Ferdi said that he was happy to see his daughter's happy face

"Eum" Aletta immediately ate the food until it was gone.

After returning from Aletta's office, he takes Alea to the Vanilla Latte cafe to meet Nathan.

"Gue go straight back"

"Wouldn't go in first?" Ask Alea

"Ogah to be a mosquito repellent loe both"

Alea chuckled then got out of the car, "be careful loe"

Aletta gave her thumbs up and drove her car out of the cafe.

Alea went inside, there was Nathan waiting for him, "have you been a long time?" Alea asked as she shifted the chair next to Nathan

"Belom..."

"Are you pesen?"

"Well, I'm pesenin ice Latte for you"

"Thank you"

"Thank you who knows how important it is"

"Hello"

"Where is alea loe?"

"Gue at the Vanilla Latte cafe"

"Gue's going there now. There's something important I want to talk about"

"Okay"

"Why yank?" Nathan asked after Alea stopped the phone

"He said Ferel would come here to discuss something, important"

"Hm"

They waited for Ferel while chatting, Alea had not been in training for a long time because he was busy in the office so misses the moment with Nathan on the circuit.

"Eh that's Ferel" Alea waved his hand

Ferel went straight to Alea and Nathan's table, "Sorry bothered you both"

"Nathaniel"

"Feral"

The two men shook hands with each other.

"Oh, what did he say to say?"

"So gini Alea, Nathan.a few days ago my parents stretched me the same way my boyfriend. And they're angry. As a result, maybe this will also affect you with your sister loe. My parents are adamant that we make engaged"

"What!!!!!!!" Alea and Nathan

"Sorry Alea, I don't mean because my carelessness is all getting more complicated."

"But Eyang belom said anything just banning my girlfriend from the same Aletta came home"

"Emang belom but once the parents return from abroad they want to meet together Eyang to discuss this engagement plan"

Alea kneaded her temple dizzy, "how should we continue?"

"Gue belom dapet solution Alea, I'm confused my parents ngancem will make Selena's life and her family suffer if they know I'm still dating him and do not want fiancee same loe"

"Jeez Ferel" complained Alea

Nathan was just silent listening, the relationship was more complicated than just backstreet.

*****

Aletta arrived home at 7pm after being stuck in traffic, profiting at her boyfriend's desk while on video call.

Actually Aletta did not want to disturb Alvaro, but the man insisted on accompanying him even remotely.

"I've been there..."

"Okay, I'm going on again."

"Okay, spirit." Aletta smiled broadly, "Alvaro... I miss you"

Alvaro smiled back, "i miss you too"

Aletta waved her hand and decided on the video call.

Out of the car, Aletta was surprised that the door of her house was open. There are guests, he thought

He went into the house and said hello, "Assalamualaikum"

"Girishal"

"Astagfirullah.." said Aletta slowly why everywhere she was.

"Have you come home?" Tanya Reynar approached Aletta

According to Loe, Aletta answered in her heart where she dared to answer so directly in front of her parents could be fired as a child later.

"Al, mama I want to see you"

Aletta immediately hid her hands behind her body when Reynar wanted to pull her hands.

"Wah turned out to be more beautiful in the original" said a middle-aged woman

Aletta nodded her smile as she greeted the woman, "good night Aunt"

"Mama agrees with Rey you're with Aletta" said Rey's mother

Aletta glanced at April's mother asking for her reinforcements with a clear face.

"Al, take a shower all day you from the outside, must be sticky" said mama April.

Hae's nest mama, I love you, mama emang dabest Inner Aletta

"Yes ma" Aletta replied, "excuse everyone" said Aletta who immediately escaped from the living room

Aletta deliberately lingered in the room for a bath, but after half an hour mama April called her to dinner together.

Want not want Aletta down let alone there Eyang where he can argue.

"Al, this aunt brought Rey's favorite dish. Try it later if you marry Rey you can cook this for Rey.."ujar Shintia mama Rey take a piece of chicken to Aletta plate.

"Rey loved the Betutu chicken tomb. That's why almost every day this aunt cook for him. Let's try Al"

Gluey!

Aletta swallowed her saliva, from the looks of it was already appetizing. Mbok Sum had made it several times but Aletta did not eat it because it was spicy.

"Aletta, let's taste. It's not that rich manners" said Eyang

"Ma, Aletta can't eat spicy like Ferdi's mas." Said mama April who saw the doubt of her daughter

"This is not bad for Jeng" said Shintia

Seeing Eyang's unfriendly gaze, Aletta was forced to bribe the chicken pieces into her mouth

Aletta's face immediately turned red, her eyes watering, she quickly grabbed the glass that was nearby directly chugging it to the toilet, "water ma...."

Mama April immediately poured water into her daughter's glass, "slowly dear"

Aletta wagged her hand, "pedes ma, Aletta's tongue is hot"

"Behold dear" mama April called mbok Sum, "pick milk in the refrigerator please"

"Yes ma'am"

"Patience yes dear" said mama April who could not bear to see the reddened face of her daughter.

"This is ma'am" mbok Sum thrust a glass of milk to mama April who immediately back drunk by Aletta to the toilet

"Where? Still pedes? Want again?"

Aletta shook her head, "shortening ma" she could not afford if she had to drink again her stomach was bloated with fluid

"You're eating" asked Mama April

Aletta nodded

"You go back to your room when you're sick and say yes"

Aletta nodded, "sorry everyone has interrupted her dinner" said Aletta, who went upstairs to her room.

"Sorry, Jeng, Aletta from small, you can't eat spicy at all. When she was a child, the doctor said she had a spicy food allergy so we never cooked spit at home" explained Mama April

"But this really doesn't matter" said Shintia's mom

Mama April nodded with a smile, not wanting to reply
