A Handful of Love for You
45. Devil
Atep POV
“Hai, Alena.”
“Hai, Lena.”
I smiled happily when I first mentioned her name without frills Ma'am.
“Alena.”
“Lena.”
“Lena.”
I called her name many times.
“I like to call your name. Beautiful name, as beautiful as the owner,” I said sincerely from the heart.
“No need to flick!” annoyed.
I chuckled at her sexy voice. I've gone crazy to think her voice is sexy. It seems I have to be diruqyah to clear my already polluted mind.
“Alena Damayanti Nataprawira's. I like you,” my pledge in my heart.
It's not hard for me to remember his full name.
Later I will have no trouble when saying his full name that long when Ijab kabul. I chuckled again when I imagined myself shaking hands with his father while saying kabul ijab.

"I don't judge myself too much. I'm just saying that I heard a jealous tone from your voice."
"Well, are you a voice expert who can guess a person's feelings from just hearing his voice? You suck."
The shadow appeared again. The shadow she wore was a long clean white dress and a veil of the same color dangled over her body.
“What are you imagining while smiling like that?” ketus tanyanya.
“Imagine our wedding contract,” I replied honestly.
He pinched my arm hard.
“Aww..sick Len,” protest.
“Don't imagine anything weird. Beware you if you dare to imagine such a thing again,” threatened him.
“I'm imagining things that might happen in our future. Not strange things.” I replied.
“Can't!”
“Kok is that anyway, Len?”
“Lan Len Lan Len. Don't call me Lena or Len. Only my family, brothers and friends can call me Len or Lena. Besides call me Alena or Bu Alena,”.
“But I'm your future husband. Soon it will be your family.”
“Not necessarily,” answers ketus.
“But I like to call you Lena...Len...Lena..
“Can't!” screams bailed.
“Lena..”
“You...” he glares at his eyes that look very cute.
“What, Len?” I really like teasing her. It became opium for me.
“Absonious basics.” He beat my arm and shoulder.
I laughed out loud at her childish behavior.
Uh, but my attitude is also childish. I kept calling her name even though it upset her. But how else. I like to say his name.
“When do you want me to apply? Did I just lamar mumpung abah today and your mother is here?” my question sounds like teasing but I'm actually very serious about proposing to her today as well. Even if not today, later, in the near future I will definitely propose to him.
“Do not mess!” snapped it.
“I'm not kidding. I seriously want to make you the mother of my children.” I looked at him and saw a frightened face.
“You don't want to be the mother of my children?” my many.
“Don't want.. uh not so...eh...don't want..eh...how the hell is it? I don't want to get married fast. I want to focus on my work at least until I'm 30 years old.”
I smiled at the slightly planed answer.
“So don't want to? Didn't they? Not want? Or how?” godaku's.
“We haven't known each other for too long. Even if we know each other but every time we meet we must always argue. I don't want a husband who always argues with me. How can I have a marriage in which there is always debate. I'm afraid to imagine such a wedding.” He expressed his concern.
“But if we get married later and become a legitimate married couple, I will not argue with you,” my promise.
“Ah, you can't change your character as easily as you turn your palm. Characters like you are hard to change,” he said sounding dismissive.
“Love will change everything. Just look at your brother. Does he have a good and wonderful nature? We both know how your brother behaved before he fell in love with Teh Iyah. Then look at him now. How does he treat his wife? Compare your brother's past attitude and his present attitude. You need to know that the nature of your sister is much worse than my nature.” I think I gave a good example. Because he doesn't seem to be able to return my words.
“I don't want to get married now,”.
“You just don't want to get married now. That means tomorrow, right? You didn't say you didn't want to marry me. Then you want to marry me, right?” ask me to confirm.
“Eh, I also do not want to marry people I do not know well,” he replied nervously.
“But we can get to know each other even further. There is still plenty of time to get to know each other. You can ask Teh Iyah and my mother about my good and bad and I can ask Teh Iyah and your brother to know your good and bad. We can also often meet and discuss to get to know each other better,” suggested.
“I don't want to marry you..”
Before he finished his sentence, I pulled his hand and grasped it.
“Do not say anything beyond your power. You and I don't know who we're dating. It could be that the person in front of you right now is the soul mate of the world and your hereafter.” I looked at him sharply.
He turned his face to the side but I immediately grabbed the tip of his chin and aimed so that I could look him in the eye again.
“Do not hinder me to get to know you further,”.
He tried to turn his face back but the grip of my hand was stronger so he could not turn back.
“See me. Do not hate people too much because tomorrow you will love that person. Give both of us a chance to get to know each other. Okay?” tanyaku.
He's nodding.
“It's done talking?” tanyakanya.
“Hm...”.
“Then remove your hand from my face.”
“Sorry.” I immediately let go of my hand.
He rested his body on the chair and took a glass filled with drinks, gulped it down until the water in the glass he said. He felt thirsty after arguing with me.
I remember the phone number he blocked.
“Borrow your hape,” my door.
“Make what?”
“I borrow for a moment.” I took the phone he was holding.
“Aaan anyway?” he tried to get his phone back.
“Unlock.”
“Mot.”
“If you do not want to open it, I will not return it until an unspecified time limit,” I threatened.
“Sini. Basic irritating!” He unlocked the phone and I grabbed it from his hand.
I took her number off my phone and looked at her phone screen.
Devil calling's….
Hah, it turns out that he kept my number with the name Devil...
