The Smile of Love Alura

Not Used Up

Mario has just arrived at Soekarno Hatta Airport after a 14.5-hour trip from London. He wears a brown leather jacket, jeans and sunglasses. Appearance that supports his good looks. His right hand pulled the suitcase. With a firm step he walked out of the airport.

A man in a black suit complete with sunglasses rushed over when he saw the figure of Mario. He gets a task from his master to pick up the guest as well as his master's partner.

"Master is waiting for you" the bright black-clothed man took over the suitcase from Mario's hand.

"Yes." Yeah."

Then they both walked towards the parked pajero not far from the airport. Mario sat in the passenger seat, leaning his head. I feel tired after a long trip. If not for his purpose, he would not have bothered to come to Indonesia. Because Mario really doesn't like long trips.

But he was determined to complete his goal as soon as possible. Don't want to stall for longer. The faster the better. This time he's gonna totally take Max's life. But Mario is cunning and clever. He would not dirty his own hands, but rather the people from his comrades he would meet were the ones who would carry out his rotten plan. Mario smiled at Max, imagining that he would soon die. After that he will try to seize the heart of Alura until it becomes his. Mario closed his eyes as the moving car left the airport.

This afternoon the weather is hot and the traffic jams make Mario travel

little long. But Mario doesn't really care, he's busy with his game without saying a word.

The car that took him entered an elite housing estate in Jakarta. Stop at a two-story house. Mario opens the car door noticing the magnificent building in front of him before entering.

"Let's go" said the man in the black suit ahead of Mario.

Mario rolled his eyes lazily. After that he went inside. Arriving at the door, a Maid opened the door and smiled kindly.

"Please come in, sir. You're waiting inside."

"Call me Mario" he said, opening his sunglasses.

Maid who felt the hostile aura from Mario made her nervous. This is the first time he has seen Mario visit this house. But for some reason, it seems like Mario is not a person who likes pleasantries.

"Well," answered Maid slightly bowed her body.

Mario lifted his chin, watching the maid from head to toe. Then he gritted then passed leaving the maid who immediately turned pale as if he had seen a ghost.

Pri in black brought Mario to the room on the second floor.

"Wait a minute, I'll call you, sir" said the man in black clothes turned around leaving Mario alone in the room. Mario did not reply just glancing at the man a glance.

Mario's view swept every corner of the room that was not too big. There was a closet full of thick books. A medium-size table, a minimalist sofa, two urns and a 32-inch LED television. Mario's gaze stopped on a frame hanging next to the closet. Inside the frame appeared a young man whose age was not much different from his was smiling on a horse. Showing a row of its well-kept white teeth.

The sound of the door opening shifted Mario's gaze. A tall man with mature brown skin and hair tied back walked up to him. The man smiled before landing his body on the empty sofa beside Mario.

"Welcome to my home. Long time no visit" said the man opened his voice.

"If there's no business, I don't want to come here" said Mario, not caring.

"Ha ha ha, you haven't changed as well apparently." the man's laughter made Mario want to strangle his neck right now.

"That's not important!"

"Luckily Mario, you can get old fast if it keeps going. Look, the wrinkles on your face."

Mario reflexes touched his face. No. gabe. He was sure there were no wrinkles on his handsome face.

"I want to talk about my purpose here" said Mario bluntly.

"Loose you're new from a long journey. What do you want to drink?"

"Vodka's."

"All right." The man clapped his hands twice. Not long ago the man in black clothes appeared. After getting the info to bring a drink from his master he immediately came out.

"You can stay here if you want," the man bargained with a friendly smile.

"Is there a club nearby?" ask Mario.

"Ha ha." the man laughed again making Mario puffed. Was the question funny?

"If you want you'll hire the best girls for tonight" the man said after his laughter subsided.

"When do you want my men to finish off your brother?"

"Hey, he's not my brother!" shout Mario. He wouldn't have said he and Max were brothers. That's disgusting to him. How could a vagrant who was accidentally found by his mother and adopted be his brother. It doesn't make sense.

"Why don't you like her so much?" ask the man.

"That's because he's just being a prankster in our family."

"Is that all?" the man felt unsure of Mario's answer. If only because of that. Why Mario is so eager to kill the man in the wheelchair.

"You're so chatty, Alvin," snickered Mario threw his face away.

"I paid you to kill him. So, just run your job," said Mario.

"Ok's ok. The drink has come. Drink up!"

Mario grabbed a glass filled with vodka and then gulped it down to the toilet.

In a different place, a couple had just finished praying magrib. Alura folded face while occasionally glancing at Max who was still wearing moss-green cocoa clothes complete with peci on his head. Max is suitable to wear any color clothing. The tall reddish-white man was engrossed in rubbing his screen unaware of Alura who kept paying attention.

As Max looked around, their eyes clashed. Alura felt her heart beat again. Fizzy cheeks.

"When are we going to dinner?"

"oh, i-yes. Just a minute, Max." Alura hurriedly finished folding her face. After that he approached Max, then pushed his wheelchair out of the room.

They both ate in silence. Only the clink of the spoon clashing with the plate filled the silence between the two.

"Yahuuk!" Alura choked on her food. He struggled to swallow until his white face turned red.

"Drink." Max raised his glass handing it to Alura.

Alura accepted and immediately drank the contents. It felt relieved after the food was no longer concerned.

"Thank you, thank you, Max."

"Are you really hungry?"

"Yes?"

"You ate so fast."

"Oh, sorry," said Alura hiding a hue on her face in embarrassment.

"Eat slowly. I'm not gonna finish this food."

"Alright, Max."

Just as Alura was about to spoon her food into her mouth, Max lifted the spoon near her mouth.

Alura was surprised by Max's sudden attitude.

"Say my mother, eating from someone else's hands tastes better, give it a try!"

Slowly Alura opened her mouth. Max fed it slowly. Alura did not expect to get sweet treatment from her husband.

"Eat, don't cry" said Max turning to his plate.

"Max, you remind me of Momy. The last person to bribe me was him."

"If you want, then whenever you ask me to bribe you."

Alura. He nodded and smiled then continued eating.
