A Handful of Love for You
64. He's my love 2

Alena POV's

You liar man. Until this hour has not come yet.

I was confused as to why I was upset because of him. Where the hell is he, anyway? Just make senewen.

Uh, he didn't promise to come. Maybe he didn't know I had a birthday.

But he should have known. Teh Iyah must have told him that today I have a birthday and a thanksgiving. Why didn't he come? Or does he not know if there is a Thanksgiving?

Ah, nevermind. Why should I think of him?

The event began after we performed the congregational prayer. I'm like a young girl celebrating birthdays by cutting tarts and singing happy birthday songs.

Abah leads the prayer, praying good for me, especially the soul mate thing. In his prayer Abah asked that I be immediately reunited with my soul mate and guaranteed simultaneously by the whole family.

After we finished praying, we began to eat the dishes prepared by Teh Iyah. There are various kinds of my favorite food complete with a variety of desserts that taste good because I saw the logo of the Tea Iyah cake shop that is famous for delicious throughout the city of Bandung.

I saw Teh Iyah was calling someone and I was sure the person Teh Iyah called was Atep, the man who had made my heart work so abnormal. You shitty guy. Where the hell is he? Until now has not revealed the trunk of his nose.

I was playing with Aras and Aris. They get a new lego gift from their father. Whose birthday is who gets whose gift.

Actually, my brother also gave me a gift. A simple set of jewelry but looks elegant. My brother is indeed a little royal if he gives gifts to the people he cares about. His wife was given gifts almost every week to the point that Teh Iyah often protested because her husband was too royal in giving gifts. But my brother wants to hear his wife's protest. According to him, the husband works hard bones make a lot of money to be spent to please the wife and child. My brother is an amazing husband. I never thought he would behave like this when viewed from his past behavior.

“Aras...Aris, gift for Aunt where?” I teased my niece duo.

Aras and Aris were confused by my question. It seems they did not prepare a gift for me. What can I expect from a boy like them?

“Hm, gift from Aras and Aris special. The gift is not an item but Aras sure Auntie would like,” said Aras with a mysterious smile.

“Mana?” i charged.

“Where to?” aris seemed to be rolling his gaze in all directions in search of something.

“Tuh, the card is here!” exciting Aras.

“Mana?” my many.

“Tuh!” Aras pointed his index finger at something behind me.

I turned to look at the one Aras pointed at.

Her…

He's standing right there. Looks handsome with a dark gray cameja and jeans with a color that has not faded. She looks pretty neat to attend a family thanksgiving event.

He looked at me and I looked back at him.

Pl-please…

I couldn't take my eyes off that guy.

I gasped as Aras and Aris pulled my right and left hands and inevitably stepped closer to her. Aras and Aris immediately ran somewhere after they drove me in front of him.

“Hai..” sapanya.

“Hai..”.

“Happy birthday.” He gave me a flower and greeted me.

“Thank you.”

Silent…

“Why new came?”

“Sorry. There was some business I had to finish.”

She shook her head.

“Eat first. Tea has prepared a lot of food.

“Later. I want to talk to you?”

“You said what?” my many.

“Speaking a little important. Very important to me but probably not very important to you.”

“What are you talking about? Don't have much of a stale base.”

“Hm...”.

Not yet he spoke, Aras and Aris came back with a plate full of food that I thought would be given to their beloved uncle.

“Mang Atep, this is for Mamang. Mother said, Mang Atep has not eaten.” Aris thrust a plate filled with rice complete with side dishes. While Aras brought a small dish of dessert and a glass of water.

“Kata Mommy, Mang Atep also had no time to drink fitting earlier came. Drink it first.” Aras puts a glass of water on Atep.

I saw Atep take the glass and say thank you to Aras and Aris. Then he sat down and finished the food that Aris had brought. Seeing her busy eating, I slipped away.

“Where are you? Wait for me to eat!”

Basic sucks as if playing orders but I seem stupid also because I obey his will. Or maybe I've been hypnotized by him? Aarg.

I sat next to him. Knock my hands on my thighs. I was nervous to be close to him. Moreover, there was nothing I could do but accompany her to eat.

Where are those two troublemaking boys. At least if they existed, the situation would not be this ugly.

“I first look Aras and Aris.”

“Create what search for them?”

“Create to accompany us here.”

“Why do we need to be accompanied by them?”

“I want to find them first.”

“Fixed here.” He grabbed my wrist as I was about to move.

“I want to grab a phone first.” I was ready to stand up again.

“I said stay here.” He pulled my hand back.

His orders really pissed me off.

“I awkwardly did nothing while you were eating.”

“Then I stop eating only.”

I see there's still half the rice and side dishes that he hasn't finished.

“Do not! don't like to waste food. I'm just gonna grab a cell phone. I promise it won't be long.”

“Good.” Finally he let go of my hand.

You're the most annoying guy in the whole universe.
