The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

20

Alvino and Kenan are late in their work, until the clock shows that it is time to get home from work. Alvino and Kenan immediately cleaned up the files that were still scattered on the table, after which they both walked together out of the room.

"Ken, who are you going to Nathan's show tonight?" alvino asked as the two of them were walking out of the office.

"Actually I will come with Rania, but she said that if she will leave with the members of the 'Four Angels' gang," said Kenan, he opened the car door for Alvino.

"There's just them, they feel the most powerful to form a gang so," said Alvino, Kenan who just sat behind the steering wheel, waiting for his smile to hear Alvino's words.

"You know for yourself Al, that Cacha and Nadira are popular girls on campus. So, it's only natural that if they form a gang, I'm sure there must be a lot of guys chasing after them,"

"Curtain! They are popular because they are descendants of Alexander and Saputra" Alvino said mockingly.

"Remember Al, Nadira is your sister. I'm sure you were like that when you were in college, too" Kenan said. Alvino just kept silent not responding to Kenan's remarks.

The atmosphere in the car again felt quiet, Alvino leaned his head and closed his eyes to reduce the fatigue that hit his body. However, just as Alvino's eyes were closed, he suddenly opened both his eyeballs wide as the shadow of Rania's eye gaze came back to him. Alvino held onto his chest as he felt his heart beating so fast. Kenan who saw from the windshield of the car, only knitted his eyebrows while observing the look of Alvino's face that looked unsettled.

"What's wrong with you, Al?" kenan asked, his eyes focused back on the streets.

"It's okay. I just feel like my body is so tired" Alvino said. Kenan was silent, though he was convinced that something was troubling Alvino's mind.

The car stopped at the Alexander Mansion, Alvino immediately got off before Kenan opened the car door for him. Alvino tells Kenan to go home and get ready for tonight. Just as Alvino had entered the Mansion, he saw Aluna and Davin sitting in the living room, as if his parents were waiting for him.

"Mom, Dad," said Alvino, he walked up to his parents. Not forgetting, Alvino kissed Aluna's cheek gently, while Davin just stared intently at Alvino.

"Don't look at me like I'm gonna pounce on me like that, Dad. Daddy's not shy, jealous of his own son," Alvino said, he sat his body on the couch.

"That's it. Al, don't provoke Daddy's anger." Aluna tried to prevent a fight between them when she saw Davin who was about to argue Alvino.

"That once Mommy and Daddy were here, were you guys waiting for me on purpose?" ask Alvino to guess.

"Yes, we were deliberately waiting for your return, Al. There's something we're going to talk about, it's about Rania and Febian" Davin replied, Alvino's face instantly looking flat.

"What do we need to talk about from both of them? I don't want Febian to misunderstand me." Alvino spoke as if he did not care.

"Febian's not home, he's gone to Erlando's house" Aluna said. Alvino let out a long breath.

"Al, what are you going to do now, when you find out that Rania is a little girl who helps you while Febian has been unemployed Rania since childhood. Are you going to win Rania's heart?" aluna asked, Alvino could hear Aluna's voice sounding so worried.

"No!" alvino replied firmly." Alvino won't win anyone's heart. Let Alvino wait for a girl who loves Alvino sincerely and of her own accord. It's just that, Febian must prepare his heart, because Kenan seems to be soon proposing to Rania," continued Alvino. Aluna and Davin stared in surprise at Alvino.

"When?" ask Davin curiously.

"You sure you don't have the slightest taste for Rania?" ask Aluna to make sure. Alvino turned his face away, not daring to stare towards his two parents.

"No! Al hasn't wanted to think about love, Al still wants to focus on Alexander Group. Never mind, Al's tired of taking a break before coming to Nathan's show tonight." Alvino got up and walked away from Aluna and Davin who were just staring at Alvino's back slowly away from them.

"Mas, why do I feel that in fact Al has feelings for Rania," Aluna said when Alvino was no longer visible to her eyes.

"Don't think too much, honey. We just pray for the good of our children" Davin said, embracing Aluna's shoulders and kissing Aluna's head gently.

Ana enters Rania's room as they are about to leave for the salon soon. As soon as Ana was already inside Rania's room, she stared in wonder at Rania who was silent on the chair that was on the dressing table.

"Why daydream, Ran?" ask Ana. Rania shrieked in shock, she saw the image of Ana walking closer to her through the mirror. Rania simply fell silent, she did not answer Ana's question at all. When she got near Rania, Ana's eyes focused on the red velvet box in Rania's hand.

"Ring from whom?" ask Ana curiously.

"Not Kak's ring, but Febian's necklace," replied Rania, Rania's right hand opened the red velvet box. Ana sees a very beautiful necklace with a small diamond pendulum.

"It's so pretty this necklace. Febian shoot you?" asked Ana with a sparkling face.

"No." Rania nodded slowly. "I have rejected it, but Febian says I must accept it because it is a sign of our friendship" said Rania lethargic, until now actually Rania's heart is still very hesitant to accept the box.

"Thank you, Ran. Maybe it was a sign of your friendship. Don't you have feelings for Febian or Kenan's brother?" ask Ana to know.

"I just think of Febian as a friend no more, whereas Kenan's brother, I already consider him as a brother."

"But Ran, don't you say, less than two months later Kenan's brother will propose to you?" Ana's face was a little grim, but she tried to look ordinary in front of Rania.

"Sister, we don't know yet who Kenan's going to apply for. If if brother Kenan actually proposed to Sister, how?" Ana was silent at Rania's question. May I hope that what you said is true, Ran? If Kenan would propose to me, not you. Inner Ana.

"Already, Brother. Better now we go. Do not let Cacha the same Nadira terrorize us because we are late," asked Rania to hold Ana's hand out of the room.

"Are you going to wear that necklace?" ana asked while Rania was still holding the box with the necklace in her hand.

"Yes, I will wear it because I want to honor Febian who gave it to me" said Rania.

Why so many people love you, Ran. May I feel a little envious of people's concern for you. Ana shook her head to expel the bad thoughts that were approaching her brain.
