The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

17

Alvino sat in his chair, a stack of documents was already in front of him but Alvino's eyes were staring at Kenan who was concentrating on the tablet screen in his hand.

"Ken," called Alvino quietly, Kenan turned his eyes away from the tablet's floor.

"What's up, Young Master?" ask Kenan politely.

"I want to ask you, but it's personal" said Alvino, Kenan looking questioningly at Alvino. "I heard you were going to propose to one of Mr. Sandi's daughters, really?" ask Alvino.

"Right," Kenan replied briefly, he looked back at his tablet screen.

"What Rania? Or Ana?" ask Alvino to know.

"That's a secret, sir, because I'm going to make a surprise" Kenan replied, Alvino clicked his tongue because he was upset.

"If you want to propose to Rania, then I'll leave Rania to you," Kenan looked directly at Alvino.

"You mean?" kenan asked not understanding what Alvino said.

"It's okay" replied Alvino casually, but Alvino's answer actually made Kenan more curious.

"Are you sure, Al?" ask Kenan to make sure. He forgot they were still in the office.

"Well, I'm your boss so use formal language!" the ketus Alvino made Kenan smile cynically at him.

"I know you're covering something from me, Al," Kenan's lips, Alvino leaned his head against the chair.

"From last night I was still curious about the scar on Rania's hand. How could he get that many scars" said Alvino slowly, he acted as if he did not know anything so that Kenan did not suspect.

"Former wound, Rania got it because she had been a child abduction victim" explained Kenan. Alvino put on a surprised look.

"The kidnap victim?" ask Alvino.

"Yes, that's the answer I got from both Rania and Ana when I asked about the scar. I don't know why since I met Rania, I always wanted to protect her." Kenan rubbed his forehead.

"What about Ana?" ask Alvino to investigate.

"Why with Ana? She's a strong girl, even she can take care of herself," Kenan replied nonchalantly, she looked back at the tablet screen in front of her. Alvino looked at Kenan.

Kenan really loves Rania. But I still have to thank Rania. Inner Alvino.

"Sir-lord." Rania looks nervous, as Alvino approaches her while she is waiting for Ana to go to the toilet in a Caffe.

"Why do you look so nervous?" tanya Alvino approaches Rania, but Rania distances her body from Alvino.

"Please don't come any closer, sir." Rania's voice rang out as she and Alvino were already within such a close distance.

"I just want to talk to you, I'm not going to hurt you," said Alvino, he distanced his body from seeing Rania's body trembling in fear. Rania remained silent on her position, she did not dare to raise her head at all.

"This is the scar I got after I became a child abduction victim, sir," replied Rania slowly, her hands squeezed together.

"You sure? You're not lying?" tanya Alvino was full of emphasis.

"Yes-believe Mister," replied Rania stammered.

"Look into my eyes so I know you're not lying" Alvino told me, but Rania remained unmoved.

"Ma-sorry Sir. I'm not used to looking at the opposite sex" Rania replied still with her head lowered.

"Actually, I just want honesty from you, but it seems like you are indeed a liar!" alvino Carcass. Rania's head looked up and looked into Alvino's eyes. The look in their eyes met each other, Alvino reflexively held onto his chest that was pounding so fast.

Really the little girl's eyes. Inner Alvino, she did not cut off her eyes on Rania at all, nor vice versa. Rania stared fixedly at the handsome face of Alvino who always haunted her heart and mind.

"Why on the bengong?" The newly arrived Ana succeeds in surprising them and makes both Alvino and Rania cut off their eyes.

"It's not long, though" said Rania in annoyance. Ana reviews her smile and sits between Alvino and Rania.

"You been a long time, Al?" ana asked, she did not respond to Rania's words. Ana turned her head towards Alvino who was looking back at Rania.

"Just come, I'm sorry I've been bothering you both" Alvino said. Ana again commented on her smile, making Alvino switch to looking fixedly at Ana because she was fascinated by Ana who looked so beautiful, while Rania again lowered her head because she felt inferior to Alvino.

Don't expect much more if you don't want to get hurt, Ran. You must realize, who are you and what? Everyone would have preferred Riana over you. Especially now, Alvino has already seen your bad body, so stop hoping before you get hurt. Inner Rania while exhaling a rough breath.

"Sister, I'm going to the toilet" said Rania, she got up. Alvino and Ana turned their eyes towards Rania who was already standing.

"Sister between ya," Ana bargained, her face looking so anxious. Rania shook her head slowly.

"No, brother, I can do it myself. Anyway this is in the caffe area, I'm sure it must be safe," refused Rania slowly, with a heavy heart Ana invited Rania to go alone.

"An, yesterday I accidentally saw Rania's arm and saw a lot of sewing scars. How could Rania get that many sewing wounds?" alvino asked, he really wanted to listen to everyone's answer.

"That's the sewing scar Rania got while being a child abductee, that's what I heard from papa," Ana replied calmly, but inside she felt very uneasy.

"How painful it was when Rania got the wound first" murmured Alvino.

"Rania almost lost her life, lucky Rania is a strong child, so she can get through her critical period" said Ana Lirih. Alvino's phone rang, and he saw Mommy Aluna's name on it. Alvino says goodbye to Ana to pick up the call from her beloved Mommy. Alvino called while walking closer to the toilet. Long enough Alvino exchanged voices with Aluna, when Alvino was going back to the front, he saw Rania who had just come out of the toilet. Alvino pulls Rania's hand and rests Rania's body on the wall. Alvino's two hands clung to the wall, providing a barrier so that Rania could not get away from him.

"I want you to be honest. Actually where did you get that kind of sewing scar?" tanya Alvino was full of emphasis.

"Didn't I say, sir. I got it when I was a kidnap victim," answered Rania nervously, Alvino smiled cynically at Rania's reply.

"Look at me, Rania," orders Alvino, but Rania still faithfully bowed. "I saw the look in the eyes of the little girl who helped me when I was almost a victim of kidnapping and accident." Deg. Rania's heart was pounding so fast. Could Alvino have known everything? Rania lowered her head. "But it seems like I'm wrong" said Alvino, disappointed as he lowered his hands.

"You are indeed the wrong person, Sir," Rania replied, she walked away from Alvino at a quick pace.

"Why don't you be honest at all. Would it be so hard if you said everything honestly?" muttered Alvino while looking at Rania's back away from him.
