THE RING LEFT BEHIND

Chapters 1. Borrow your Sweet Finger

Alhanan Farabi observed several collections of engagement rings perched in a gold shop window located in a mall. The handsome, 170cm tall man wore a dark blue collared shirt, his face radiant as his eyes fell on a blue gem ring.

His finger tapped on the window pane while an employee asked for the ring to be purchased.

"That's mbak!" said steady.

" Emmmh for a minute...." Furthermore, his eyes were looking for someone who could be made into a model. Yes then Alhan was alone without the company of his lover. Alhan just wanted to give a surprise to the woman of his heart. At the age of 28, it was enough to get married. Alhan wants to end his bachelorhood by proposing and marrying Nurmala Dewi, a high school teacher.

"Excuse me, can you ask for help?" Ask politely to a woman who is carrying groceries. The beautiful woman in navy hijab looks very graceful with the blend of clothes she wears. His body is slim with a height of 165cm.

"Just a second. Please do yes!" He pushed it with hope.

"Seek what please? But I can't be long because there is still a "Obviously lady named Wafa Zahira with a friendly.

"You borrowed my ring finger to try the engagement ring" Alhan said with a smile.

Wafa bergeming wonder can-cannya want the bride-to-be fiancee is not invited to choose the engagement ring, instead ask other people who are not known to try it. What if the ring was taken away? Wafa.

"Let's go, please put this ring on your finger!"

"The ring is good, Mas. Hope the future wife likes it. But by the way why was Mas's future wife not taken?" Wafa was a little curious as he continued to stare at the circular ring on his ring finger.

" I want to make a surprise. Just a moment, don't let go! I want a photo of the ring used to be still circular on the ring finger mbak" said Alhan with a sparkling face.

Crackle

Crackle

Unbeknownst to wafa Alhan took a picture of him smiling sweetly while showing a blue jewel ring tucked beautifully on the left ring finger.

But suddenly the ringing of Wafa's phone managed to steal the attention of both.

"I'm sorry I just wanted to get a phone call" Without waiting for an answer from Alhan, Wafa walked away from the crowd. Without any suspicion Alhan let Wafa take his call.

While looking at the other model one of the employees named Weni reprimanded Alhan,

" Where was that ring? I haven't returned it!"

"For a moment, Ma'am. The one who tried the ring was on the phone" Alhan occasionally saw the watch on his left wrist. Alhan's movements did not escape the observation of Weni who was suspicious of the man. It's been about 30 minutes Wafa hasn't been back at the store. Alhan started to fret. His face became tense. Thought garbled.

"The woman's mother hasn't returned?" Ask Weni

because according to him the ring trial only lasts for 5 minutes at most, this is 40 minutes the ring has not returned.

" For a moment, Ma'am. Maybe the call has not gone well" said Alhan calmly when his heart was tight-fisted.

"Just call the phone to the phone" Weni's solution. Alhan's confused. If you know the woman's phone number since then he has contacted her.

But the brief meeting made Alhan forget to get acquainted, ironic.

"I don't have a mother....." Said plain.

"What! How does the number hape girlfriend just do not know. Wonder if you want a fiancee too!" Weni ignited emotions, nagging while shaking her head.

" I'm sorry Ma'am but the problem was that it wasn't a girlfriend. He was a person I didn't know, who was asked to try the ring" Alhan tried to explain with a tangled face. Because the ring he was going to buy was still coiled on the woman's finger. Hadeuh😔

"Makanya Mas if want to buy a ring tuh his girlfriend brought so no nyamber stranger, so got tricked right? Anyway I don't want to know the ring has to be paid right now if it doesn't, I'm reporting to the security department!" Gerak Weni was full of emotions.

" The ring is not in my hands!" It could be Alhan protest that made Weni ride apoplexy.

"oooh so Mas won't pay, sekuri...!"

Alhan silenced Weni's mouth, but Weni brushed her aside violently.

A security guard approached them, trying to mediate the chaos that was happening to them.

"What's this?"

"Bring this guy to the security post! He's the gold theft syndicate we sold sir! The ring he tried to take ran away with his girlfriend sir"

"My mother told me earlier, she's not my boyfriend. Sir please help me to pursue the woman, she left while calling" Alhan pleaded with the security guards to pursue the woman who had brought her choice ring.

"You better explain in the post, come on!" The three of them walked towards a security post not far from that place.

Arriving at the post he recounted the fateful incident earlier.

"You know the woman's features or perhaps her photos?"

"He's hijab navy. But my face forgot because the meeting was very short" Alhan rubbed his face rough. Alhan took a picture of the woman's face. When such a situation Alhan did not remember it at all.

"Hadeuh Mas, how do I arrest that woman? "

" Eh Mas I don't want to know yes, the ring must be paid immediately!"

" Loh mbak the ring is not on me, how can I pay? This is just there"

"I don't want to know, if I don't want to pay, then I take this incident to the police station "

" Well, how much do I pay?" Alhan did not want to prolong the problem. Can run its business. All because of that woman. Huh!!

"Fifty million" he said.

"What! Extremely expensive? Ten million, huh?"

"Hey Mas don't mess around! If Mas is not willing to buy do not need to be pretentious to choose luxury goods"

"Yes.yes I can pay you, here!" Alhan gave me a credit card. The woman accepted it enthusiastically. He said goodbye to the security guard at the post, he considered the event was over.

Next, the employee takes care of recording the sale and purchase of jewelry transactions.

"That's dong, this is the name responsible. Hopefully Rizki Mas smoothly thanks for buying in this store" he said friendly. While handing over credit cards and payment notes and not forgetting a love-shaped red jewelry box.

" Mm. I nitip this. Give it to the woman. Hopefully the woman will come back here again" Alhan left his card.

With a gontai Alhan step towards the motor park. He was throwing his breath rough. In his heart hope that the woman has good faith to return the ring left on his ring finger.
