The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

59

"Come, Ken. We'd better go home," Alvino, who's tired of the jokes of his best friend.

"Sir, handsome cop, may I teach you a little lesson for this accursed man? I promise I won't make him hurt a bit" Nathan asked as he looked at the two policemen who were staring in wonder at him.

"What are you gonna do, Nat?" Kenan who had just been silent was finally impatient to ask.

"Look." Nathan sits his body on Jack's back trying to wriggle.

"I'm just gonna give you something. Like this!" Nathan puts his hand on both of Jack's armpits and immediately tickles him nonstop.

All eyes stared in disbelief at what Nathan was doing, while Jack just cursed annoyed because he felt unable to bear the tickle Nathan was doing continuously.

"Stop bang**t!" jack tries to get Nathan out of his body. Everyone laughed at Nathan's childlike behavior. After being satisfied, Nathan immediately descended from Jack's already very limp body.

"I forgot one thing." Nathan locks Jack's body and holds Jack's handcuffed hand.

"Akhc!" Jack again groaned in pain as Nathan twisted his wrist until his bones rang.

"I represent Young Master Alvino, giving you a gift for having dared to touch the pretty face of Rania." Nathan steps away from Jack's limp body and tells the police officer to bring him inside again. The two policemen immediately helped Jack, who was still groaning in pain and led him back into the bars.

"You're really great, Nat." praise Alvino proudly. Nathan patted his chest, bragging.

"Of course, Nathan's gaping it!" Nathan chuckled, while the others simply rolled his eyes lazily. "What I do is never free, Al!" nathan said as he lowered his eyebrows.

"It sucks! Well, since I'm being kind, I'll have Nadira intern at your company" Alvino said.

"Oh, that's not all I want. There's one more thing."

"Otherwise? Don't go see Nat!" alvino said grimly.

"Simple, Al. I want you to help me so I can be your sister-in-law" Nathan said. Alvino looked back at Nathan very sharply.

"Wait Al. You don't want to thank me?" nathan shouted, but they just acted unconcerned.

"Just look at you, Al. If I had been your sister-in-law, I would have tormented you." Nathan was still standing in his position with a sly smile. However, he realized that they had left him alone.

"Damn!" Nathan kicked the air in annoyance and immediately ran after them to the parking lot.

Kenan and Ana are together on the edge of the Lake near the City Park. Ana stared at the calm lake water, while Kenan laid her body on the grass using her two arms as a pillow. Kenan stared at the twilight sky which began to display a red orange color.

"Sister, I'm sorry." Ana's voice was heard even barely audible.

"When did you love me?" kenan asked without responding to Ana's apology.

"Since our first meeting abroad," said Ana nervously. Ana could hear a rough sigh coming out of Kenan's mouth.

"An, to be honest, I'm very disappointed in you right now. I actually admire you, the figure of a brother who loves his sister very much, cheerful and has mature thoughts." Kenan stopped his words, while Ana remained silent. "I didn't expect, if you could plan to harm your own sister as I know, you love her so much" he added.

"I'm sorry, Brother." Ana lowered her head, Kenan could hear Ana's voice filled with regret.

"I'm sorry too, An. After thinking about Al's words, I realized that yesterday's events weren't entirely your fault. However, I'm the loser in it too." Ana turned towards Kenan who was closing her eyes.

"Ana." called Kenan, "actually I've loved you since our first meeting, but I'm too much of a loser and prefer to quietly approach you through Rania. I'd rather keep my feelings for you than have to say it, because I'm afraid you're rejecting me. Although I was very considerate of Rania, but I secretly always paid attention to you."

"It's not all your fault, brother. I was blinded by jealousy and envy for Rania. I'm really sorry this time." Ana turned her gaze to stare at the twilight sky, in the afternoon.

"Here it is, we better just forget everything and start all over again." Kenan got up from his sleeping position and sat closer to Ana. Kenan's hand embracing Ana's shoulder made Ana so nervous.

"I love you An, and I want you to be the full owner of my heart." Kenan turns to hold both of Ana's shoulders and confronts her. She looked at the pretty face of Ana who turned to the side, but Kenan could see Ana's cheeks that already looked red.
