The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

"Thank you for the cooperation, Mr. Alvino. You are indeed a very talented young entrepreneur," praised Mr. Sandi when they finished discussing about their cooperation.
"Together, Sir. Thank you also for the compliment," Alvino replied with a wry smile on his lips.
"May I speak to Nak Kenan for a moment?" ask Mr. Sandi for permission. Alvino nodded his head in agreement. He stared at the backs of two different people of that generation who were walking out of his room. Suddenly the phone in Alvino's suit pocket rang, immediately he picked up the phone and pressed the green button to receive the call.
"Hallo Om" said Alvino when the call was connected.
"Al, three more days of race schedule, you're coming, right?" Ronal's voice was heard from across the street.
"Sure, Om. Who's my toughest opponent tomorrow, Om?" ask Alvino.
"Jack, he's going to race this time. You have to be careful because he is very cheating, and one more thing, Ana has also signed up for the race this time. So, later you three will fight each other's speed," explained Ronal.
"Good, Om."
"Al, can you pick up Anin later in the afternoon at the airport? Today he came home and Om couldn't pick him up" Ronal said.
"What time is Om?" alvino asked while researching the files in front of him.
"After you work, about five o'clock he has arrived at the airport. Thanks Al," said Ronal, after getting an answer from Alvino, the call was cut off and Alvino refocused on his work.

The four members of the 'Four Angels' gang were sitting in the cafeteria during break time. The four of them were busy enjoying their lunch with the interspersed chatter that sometimes made them laugh so hard that many canteen visitors stared in wonder at the four of them. However, their laughter came to a halt as Febian and Erlando came and joined their table.
"What the hell are you two doing here? Disturbing our peace" said Nadira.
"Nad, it is not us who disturb your tranquility but you who disturb the tranquility of the canteen-dwellers" Febian said.
"Mending you out of here, Bi. You're eliminating our appetite we know not!" cacha protested in annoyance.
"You're really fierce, Cha. Wait, I want to talk to Rania first. Ran, I have a surprise for you," said Febian softly, she smiled broadly as she saw her gift necklace placed beautifully on Rania's neck.
"What surprise?" ask Rania curious.
"Yes there is. If I say now his name is not a surprise dong. Anyway, later in the afternoon at five I wait for you at the lake," said Febian, he woke up, followed by Erlando who had just been silent. Without waiting for Rania's approval, the two of them walked away from the cafeteria table.
"You want to come, Ran?" nadira asked as soon as Febian was out of the canteen.
"Come Nad. Ana want to get me?" rania asked, she looked towards Ana who was just silent while chewing her food.
"Sorry Ran, I can't. I still have other business" Ana refused.
"Yes, I came alone" said Rania disappointed, but Ana was just busy enjoying her food as if she did not care. Cacha and Nadira stare in wonder at the twins, they feel today there is something different with them let alone Ana who looks so indifferent to Rania. However, the two of them could only remain silent without daring to ask further.
After finishing her meal, Ana immediately bounces to the toilet and the three of them just agree. Arriving at the toilet, Ana immediately retrieves her phone and contacts one of the contact numbers on her phone.
"Hallo, are you ready for our plan?" ask Ana as soon as the call is connected. "All right, hope it works." Ana closed the call with a thin grin on her lips. However, the grin quickly disappeared as Ana felt a sense of unease in her heart.
