99 Love for You
Start . . .

I was in a foreign land

Without one I know

I was in a foreign land

Without one sure

However, that day. . .

I found you

...💟💟💟...

New York, ten years ago

Cecilia was still upset at having to tidy up her scattered books due to colliding with the arrogant and haughty foreign guy who only said the word "sorry".

This semester he is busy chasing his college assignments are quite a lot. And the reference books he had to read were also numerous.

Several times Cecilia had to correct the location of her glasses that continued to sag because she bent down to take her books.

"Yep! Finally finished too! Uh but wait, looks like I brought the 10 books. Why is there only 9? Oh my!!! I have to find one." Cecilia spoke and asked herself. He continued his search for the bushes around the road he was passing.

"Are you looking for this book?"

A voice shocked Cecilia. And suddenly made him look towards the source of the voice coming from behind him. Cecilia looked up because she was squatting.

Long enough Cecilia fell silent and looked at the person who was carrying her book carefully who was a man.

The man looked familiar to Cecilia.

"Mas Alvian?" Cecilia said the name of the man in a slightly confused manner.

The man then smiled.

"Of the many people in this college, only you know me."

The man named Alvian reached out his hand to help Cecilia stand up.

"Thank you, Mum. I recognize Mas because I am one of Mas Alvian's fans. I was saddened when I heard the news that Mas Alvian decided to take a vacuum from the entertainment world. But why is Mas here? What are you doing here?"

"I want a temporary leave from the entertainment world, because I am continuing my S2 studies here. No one knows if I went to college here. I was surprised because you recognized me." explained Alvian accompanied by laughter.

"Ah so so so the story. It's so nice to meet you here." Cecilia returned Alvian's smile.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot, it's yours, isn't it? I accidentally saw it when it crossed this road." Alvian handed over Cecilia's book.

"Thank you very much, Mommy. I don't know what to do if this book goes missing." Cecil smiled happily.

Year after year, they meet again two years later when Alvian buys sandwich bread at the family's Cecil bakery.

Familiarity began to re-establish until finally they decided to continue to step forward and through the household ark for many years.

...❤❤❤...

Hearing Alvian's story about the beginning of their meeting, Cecilia begins to tear up.

Apparently he still remembers everything.

Cecilia looked at the man she married eight years ago. He was actually still hoping that their relationship could be restored. But sometimes his heart acts out of reason.

It is not easy to let go of someone who has accompanied your days for many years. It is not easy to forget the love that has been built up over the years.

Alvian got up from his seat. Then he stood up and extended his hand to Cecil.

Cecil looked at that hand. The hand wanted to help Cecil stand up. For a moment Cecil continued to look at Alvian's hand, then looked at his face.

"Let's go home! It's starting at night, Tasya must have been waiting for us." Alvian.

Cecilia welcomed the hand. And stood up while holding Alvian's hand.

They walked towards the car while holding hands. Alvian's warm hands that Cecil hadn't held for a long time.

Cecil looked at Alvian. And smile at him. Alvian replied with a smile anyway.

That day, it was as forgotten that they had just attended a divorce hearing. And the night passed in silence.

...❤❤❤...

Rangga started to get nervous. From the moment he saw Cecil crying in the cafe, and after Cecil worked back after a day off.

When he met Cecil, his heart started to get nervous. The cold attitude he usually displayed started to warm up.

Rangga began to pay attention to every move Cecil. Cecil who every morning came to the musholla office to perform Dhuha prayers.

Cecil was talking to his subordinates. Cecil is always smiling cheerfully to everyone.

Rangga started to wonder about it all. Until finally, he applied a new regulation for all Muslim employees to perform the Dhuha prayer before starting their work activities.

The breakthrough proposed by Rangga is indeed very good. But certainly there are those who feel strange about the new rules that Rangga made, including Danny, the closest person Rangga in the office.

"Sister Rangga is healthy, isn't he? Not sick, is it?"

"What did you say? I'm ill? I'm fine, Danny. Why ask that?"

"I think it's kind of weird, big brother suddenly made a new rule like this. Requiring employees to perform Dhuha prayers before performing activities."

"What is strange about praying before activity? There is nothing wrong if our company looks more religious. Right no? It'll be good for the lives of the employees here anyway."

Danny smiled with a grin. He felt that his boss had started to have a strange syndrome. Danny's gonna go deeper.

...❤❤❤...

Nadine begins to get suspicious of the strange rules that Rangga makes. Not like the Rangga he knew.

Nadine knew something was wrong with Rangga's attitude lately. And his suspicions lead to Cecilia.

Nadine finds out that Rangga often notices Cecilia.

This can't be allowed. Rangga could not be closer to Cecilia. I have to do something!

Nadine decides to talk to Radit. He thinks only Radit can help him for now.

"What's looking for me?" tanya Radit squinted at Nadine.

"You have to help me!" nadine replied with an anxious look.

"Help what?"

"Keep Cecil away from Rangga."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you understand that, too? What's been happening lately here, is because of Cecilia. Rangga's changed! And that's because of Cecilia."

"Is Rangga a superhero? What could he turn into? The spiderman? Superman's? Or--- Hulk?"

"Radith!!! I'm serious!!"

"alright. I'm getting serious too. Tell me what you want?"

"I felt that there was something strange about Rangga and Cecilia's relationship. Rangga-like interested in Cecilia. And I can't let that happen."

"Nadine! I think you're overreacting. Cecilia is a married woman. Although Rangga was interested in him, it was not a problem. I'm sure Cecil will reject Rangga. And I saw their relationship as normal as superiors and subordinates. You're just too scared to lose Rangga."

"But my hunch says there's something behind this relationship between superiors and subordinates."

"If you're that scared, why don't you get married to Rangga? Or maybe get engaged first. That's a good solution."

"I can't do that."

"Why? You doubt Rangga's love?"

".................."

"Or does he not love you?"

Nadine clenched her hands at Radit's words.

"There is no need to worry about my relationship with Rangga. All you have to do is be by Cecilia's side. You still love her, don't you?"

"I still feel for him. But that doesn't mean I want to ruin Cecil's marriage. Liking someone doesn't mean we have to have it. As long as he's happy, I'm happy too."

"What kind of empty egg is that?" Nadine begins to get upset with Radit. The conversation never found a bright spot.

"Yes already." Radit hung up his sentence.

Made Nadine round her eyes at Radit.

"I'll help you. You take it easy."
