The Plain Little Wife

08. Take a Chance

A few days have passed since that night. Nevan returned to school with her face healed from the wounds Allen had inflicted, as did Airin.

By the way, plans for Nevan and Airin's wedding will be held soon. Both of Nevan's parents wanted the marriage to be done as soon as possible, Allen alone to his own astonishment that saw so enthusiastic couple. Allen even wondered, did they not feel angry at Nevan who had already corrupted his sister? Or there is no intention to cross Nevan's name from the family card. Darendra and Aliana are a magical couple.

Meanwhile, a girl was walking a little hastily in the corridor of her school. The intention of his heart set out early in the morning so as not to meet that figure who could have shaken his defense.

"icha! Alisca!"

The owner of the name stopped his steps, turning to look at the young man who was five steps away in front of him.

"What?" ask her with a history book in her hand.

"You've been avoiding me for two days, am I wrong with you?" Gabril asked with a slightly irregular breath because he had run to chase Alisca or the girl who is often called Icha.

"That should be, we don't interact too often in the future" replied Alisca.

"Why?" Gabril asked again.

Hearing Gabril's question, Alisca smiled wryly. "You ask why? Without me even explaining, you would already know the answer."

"Icha, I'm su--"

"Enough! Don't ever say that again! Gabril, I beg you. This is wrong, this is not true!" Alisca slightly raised her tone, fortunately in the quiet school corridor, no other students had come to school.

Gabril exhaled his long breath. "There is nothing impossible in this world, Icha."

"Gabril, do we have to be selfish by leaving our religion only for love? We are not wrong to love someone, but let our love for man be greater than the love for God to be willing to leave his religion." Alisca paused her speech to regulate her breathing. His heart beat raced when Gabril would say three words that he did not want to hear.

"And you said, nothing in this world is impossible. But our love cannot be united. If you believe in miracles, what do you mean? From now on, we keep our distance, forget all those feelings. I'm sure, one day, we'll be both happy." Alisca ended her words, she turned around and left Gabril still standing on the spot.

From behind the wall without both realizing it, there was Reval, Davian, Zean, and also Citra who listened to the talk of Alisca and Gabril. The four of them looked at each other, feeling sorry for the fate of their friend who had a love story like this.

"It's a great pity, yes, if it's Gabril" Davian said suddenly.

"Gue feels more sorry for you who usually halu every day" said Reval.

"Yin!"

Ignoring the debate between Reval and Davian, Zean and Citra prefer to approach Gabril. The young man was still speechless in his place with his head lowered, his heart was so very sick. It was not pain from Alisca's words, but fate that played with him. Why did he have to meet Alisca? Why should love and liking come to him and that girl is Alisca? Really, this was too painful for Gabril.

Zean patted Gabril's shoulder gently. "Udahlah, now you are trying to escape your feelings. From the beginning I told you, your love can't be forced."

"But I just love Icha. I love him," replied Gabril with his head lowered.

"Gue knows, I get it. But, let's look at it from all sides. God will not allow you both, not even the universe. Icha has also said that even if you are not together, but someday you will find your happiness," he said, "Ril, if Icha is impossible, it is impossible, then getting a better woman than Icha, it's definitely possible."

"Come on! Now it's time to move on" Zean continued.

"Move on!" sahut Citra with a smile while clenching his hands as a sign for Gabril spirit.

"Basic playboy!"

"Bas with the hammers!"

"Gue guarantee there will be no more girls who want to be the same you."

"Nyenyene, all girls will not be able to resist my charm."

"Look at it later, you'll get the karma!" Davian yelled annoyed, then he left from there.

Really, Davian really doesn't like it when someone is mocking and vilifying what he likes. But he never touched anyone else's favorite either.

"Cemen lo, man time!" Reval shouted, looking at the back of Davian who said he was far away.

"God, Val. You can't bother Davian constantly, besides what Davian said there really is, too," said Zean.

The image agreed. "Yes, well, Kak Reval's time wants to be like gini-gini. Turn later Kak Reval serious with one girl, uh he even left Kak Reval. You can eat, but, karma!"

"Yaela, youth must be cherished. I'll be serious about one girl, but later. I'll marry you straight away, tuh, girl," he replied casually.

"Love DP first so that later for the dowry does not need to be very expensive."

"Example?"

"Infant."

"Sir, I didn't actually steal the money. When I came back from the toilet, the money was gone. Not me, sir."

"I don't want to listen to the explanations of the employees of the barber and the liar like you!"

"Sir, I beg you. Trust me, I really didn't steal the money."

"Reason! Now that you're out of here, I fire you!"

"Sir, don't fire me, I need this job to treat my mother."

"It's all your own thing, tell me who stole my money, huh? Go right now! Go, before I call the police!"

Allen, who had chosen to walk home from work, suddenly stopped his steps when he saw a woman who had been expelled by her employer for stealing. It was seen that the woman took off her work uniform vest, then left the supermarket area feeling sad.

Let's just say that Allen was looking for a chance at narrowness, because the woman he just fired was Keisha. A woman who looks a lot like her former fiance.

The man ran a little fast, then equalized his footsteps with the woman. "I see you just got fired."

Keisha looked up, looking at Allen for a moment with teary eyes. "He accused me of stealing, but obviously I saw my coworker take it."

"So, why don't you tell your boss?"

"I remember that he asked me to work there, so I didn't have to."

Suddenly Keisha's steps stopped, staring at Allen with a sparkling look of disbelief. "Really? What can?"

Allen nodded his head slowly. "Yes, lately the work in the office is overwhelmed I handle. I want you to take care of me, because the secretary who usually takes care of me is also busy."

Too happy to be offered a job, Keisha to not realize the implied meaning of Allen's words and also Allen's words are a little strange. However, the woman was too happy to not think long he immediately said he wanted to and yes. His current mind is important to get a job, get a salary, and can bring his mother to treatment.

"We're looking for a place to chat first to make it better" Allen concluded.

The man took Keisha to the cafe not far from them. After ordering a drink, Allen resumed his remarks.

"Your job is actually easy, every morning you come to my house. Prepare my work clothes, my briefcase, and at lunchtime, you bring me lunch. You also have to remember that I can't eat any outside food, other than house food. And the rest, you have to obey whatever my orders," he said at length.

"Eum .. If you can tell, what is the salary? Also, did you not ask for any requirements with me? Like a photocopy of ID card, family card, diploma, is that not you need?" tanyakanya.

Allen shook his head slowly. "All I need is someone who can work honestly and seriously."

The man sipped a latte coffee, then stood up while confirming his suit. "Tomorrow you start working and this is my home address, office, and number."

Keisha took the card that Allen gave him, he looked at the card with a happy feeling instead of playing. The woman looked up to thank Allen, but the man was no longer there.

"Just fired to get a job, the sustenance of this beautiful child mah!"

•°•°•

The break bell rang, Nevan entered the cafeteria area with Davian who was a class with him. Don't forget the box of lunch for Airin that he brought in his hands. He sat at the table of the cafeteria where there were already his friends, as well as the image-lovers Zean-Diandra-friends bacot Reval-and lastly Airin who said his friend again went to buy a drink.

"Who's this chicken noodle? The pungent smell was stinging" Davian said, pointing to the small bowl of chicken noodles.

Diandra. "Have Airin, he bought a third drink for eating this chicken noodle."

Hearing that Nevan rounded her eyes, how could Airin eat that chicken noodle? Airin can't eat outside and now even eat spicy chicken noodles.

Shortly after that Airin came by sipping his sweet iced tea, red face and sweat pouring out. Don't forget about his nose which is now getting clogged with snot.

Nevan clucked, he stood up and sat beside Airin. The man picked up the tissue that was provided at each table. With painstakingly rubbing the sweat of Airin, Nevan's little attention did not escape the sight of his friends.

"Pedes really huaa, would cry ah ah!"

"Don't eat anymore!" Nevan immediately distanced the bowl from Airin's reach.

"Not finished yet, Airin used up," he asked by trying to reach the bowl of chicken noodles.

"Airin! You can't eat outside food and now you're eating chicken noodles, you'll get a stomachache" Nevan said.

Airin. "Wouldn't be, Airin won't have a stomachache."

"Don't ngeyel when you say! Eat this, yeah." Nevan opened the bag which was a sandwich.

"No want! Airin wants chicken noodles."

"Eat this or I say Bang Allen if you've eaten a spicy chicken noodle!"

Airin snorted in annoyance, eating the sandwich with ogah-ogahan. From there ended up lectured by Allen overnight, it was better for Airin to seek safety by following Nevan's words.

"If you have a stomachache, I'll be cheered!"

In his heart Airin called various animal names to curse Nevan which is very annoying according to him. Look at it later, he won't get a stomachache.

Nevan reached into his pants pocket and picked up the modern long object, there was a message from his beloved mother for fitting a wedding dress. However, Nevan refused and let her mother who chose the wedding dress, after all her mother already knew the size of her clothes and Airin.

"Eh, what kind of tumben that little guy no botherin' you, Van?" Reval asked while looking for the figure of Ilona who was not there.

Shaking his shoulders indifferently, after all it was good. Nevan is very uncomfortable with the behavior of Ilona who always bothers, teases, and approaches him. The girl seemed to have no self-esteem, chasing the man who had clearly rejected her.

"Good, dong, I've seen his face too" Davian said.

Between, Reval, Zean, and Gabril. Davian was more dislikeful of Ilona, whether he had a grudge what the young man was to the point of dislike of Ilona. But, if asked why, Davian even answered this way. "The face looks like aunty, if to school the dress up is already like open BO."

But Davian's words are true after all.

"But, if it's actually Ilona who trapped you last night why it became Airin? It should be Ilona."

Hearing Gabril's words, Nevan rolled his eyes. "You really want me to sleep with that girl, huh?"

"That's not what I mean, strange anyway," he replied.

"It could be that Ilona was even wrong target, meaning she wanted Airin to sleep with a guy, but the guy was lo, instead" Zean said.

Davian nodded his head. "It could be like that, maybe he doesn't like to see Airin's ragged lo. He's trapped Airin."

The image kicked off the table slowly. "Gue just want, just like that night Airin brought the same two friends Ilona."

While all that was talked about was the hen eating a sandwich while easing his mouth that felt burning because of eating spicy chicken noodles earlier.

"Where are you taking Ilona to the party?" ask Diandra.

"Oh, he said Ilona wanted to give Airin ice cream, but had to come first with her friends. It turns out they brought Airin to the room and had to wait until later there was a guy who entered, uh it turns out there was Brother Nevan coming. That's why Nevan's sister hugged Airin, kept do-"

Nevan quickly silenced Airin's mouth with his palm, otherwise immediately acted later that there Airin told all the chronology on the hot night they went through.

"And just where you were taken, why even answer that?" Nevan is obviously upset, he means ashamed that his friends know.

Reval stared at Nevan with his face. "Ekhem, what a spell. What is Malem, Nevan, Airin? Not rude?"

Airin made a sound because Nevan was no longer smothering him. "Airin Kesel know the same Brother Nevan, said Kak Nevan the game is good eh yearya even sick."

"Keep, how do you go?" ask again.

"Reval! Fuck you, don't ask me again! Just go there!" Nevan's breath was hunting, it felt like she wanted to drown in the sea.
