After You Go
27. Surprise For Bara (2)

Mia returned from her place of work when azan magrib reverberated. He opened the door and immediately entered the house.

"Well! Very tired," complained Mia.

He put his body on the bed. His eyes looked at the ceiling of his room. Suddenly a feeling of guilt appeared in his heart. He felt guilty to his parents and to his friends.

"Why is it like this? Why am I being like this?" ask him to yourself.

Without realizing it, her tears melted down both of her cheeks. Tears that he had been trying to hide from those closest to him.

Meanwhile, Alma and Garland enjoy their time together with dating. Although not a romantic date, but both of them really enjoy the moment.

"Old time, aren't we together like this?" Garland.

Alma agreed. It's been a long time since they've enjoyed this time together. The busyness of each makes the two rarely even never dated like this.

"I'm so happy to have some more time with you, Al!" Garland looked at her lover and smiled at him.

Alma returned the eyes of her lover and smiled at him.

"I'm also very happy to be able to go alone with you" he said.

The smile on Garland's face grew wider when he heard his lover's words. She was grateful to have the time with her boyfriend again like before.

"Immy!" scold someone.

Alma turned her head and found Amanda also Bara walking up to him. He smiled kindly when he saw his superior approaching him.

"Eh Miss Amanda. Good night, Mom," said Alma.

Amanda smiled when Alma greeted her. But not with Bara. The man did not show a smile at all. He looked at Garland with an incomparable feeling of jealousy.

"S****n! Why should I see Alma here?" objurgation.

Alma smiled faintly looking at the expression shown by Bara. In his heart he felt victorious for successfully making Bara overthinking him.

"We moved to a cafe!" whiskey Bara.

Amanda frowned. "Why move? It's just here. Then it's exciting we can double date Alma and... what's your boyfriend's name, Al?" tanyakanya.

"Garland, Ma!" sahut Alma's.

Hearing his name being mentioned, Garland nodded her head while smiling at Amanda.

"Well, Garland. We can call the four of us. Isn't that right, Al?" said Amanda.

Alma only displayed a smile as she nodded her head as a sign of approval.

Bara clucked annoyedly at Alma's nod of the head. It was very desirable that he beat Garland who dared to bring Alma to this place. But he couldn't do it because he had his wife next to him.

"Rasain lo! It's good to be working again today!" alma said in her heart.

Bara can't hide his jealousy. He did not expect that he would meet Alma and her lover in this cafe.

...****************...

The handsome morning sunshine was so dazzling to the eyes. Bagas squinted his eyes because he was exposed to the sunlight that barged into his room.

"Just in the morning!" muttered.

Bagas yawned once more before actually getting out of bed.

"Gas... Bagas! Awake, Son! It's noon. Said there was a meeting this morning?" someone said from behind the door of her room.

"Yes,Bu. I woke up already." Bagas replied in a slightly loud voice.

After that, no sound from outside was heard. Only the sound of footsteps moving away from the door could be heard.

Bagas hurriedly grabbed his towel and rushed out of his room. He walked to the bathroom next to the kitchen.

Elsewhere, Alma is doing the same. He just got up and walked towards the bathroom that was inside his room.

Before long, Alma came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head. It looks like he just finished washing his hair.

It didn't take long for Alma to get ready. It was not until an hour that he was well dressed and ready to leave for the office.

Alma grabbed her briefcase and immediately came out from inside her room. He walked leisurely towards the dining room. Both her parents and her older brother were waiting for breakfast.

"For everyone" said Alma.

"Good morning, Al!" reply to bu Tiwi.

Alma immediately sat down and took her dinner plate. He spooned the rice onto his plate complete with his side dish.

"Tumben early in the morning excited?" said mr. Handi.

Alma smiling. "Yes dong. Morning should be upbeat. Can't be lackluster!" sahut Alma's.

Mr. Handi and Bryan mustard to hear Alma's words. The two of them did not dare to break Alma's burning spirit.

"Where's your job?" ask bu Tiwi.

"Okay," replied Alma in short.

Bu Tiwi smiled. The woman was happy because Alma was willing to answer questions from her even with a short answer.

"You're at home, Al works at Bara's place?" This time Bryan asked.

Alma nodded. "Why not feel at home? There his people on all well. No one is rese. That's why I'm at home" replied Alma.

"Who knows if you are not comfortable or uncomfortable working there. You see, Bara is your ex-boyfriend" said Bryan.

"But if Bara disturbs the elo or does insolence with elo. Elo told me. Let me face him" said Bryan again.

"Lo style is like a thug, Bang," said Alma.

"Elo calm down. I will never mess with you. He doesn't dare mess with me, Bang!" concluded.

"Yes who knows. Nobody knows, Al." Bryan said as he sipped the milk coffee that was sitting on the dining table.

"Bryan is done. Now Bryan wants to go first" he said.

The young man stood up from his chair and grabbed his briefcase. Before moving away from the dining room, he turned his head towards Alma for a moment.

"You want to be with me?" ask her to her sister.

Alma nodded. It just so happened that today Garland could not pick herself up because she had to go to the event venue. While Bara could not dare to pick him up to this house. I don't know what the reason is and Alma never had a problem with that.

"Entar's coming home to pick me up again!" alma Pinta.

After saying goodbye to her parents, Alma and Bryan walked out of the house. Bu Tiwi stared at the departure of the two of them with a haru feeling. They both seem to get along even though they were not born from the same womb.

Elsewhere, Bara was sitting while propping her head up. There's a guy who sent me pictures of himself being alone with a girl at a nightclub.

"S****n! Who sent you these photos?" said it.

Bara looked one by one at the photo scattered on his desk. A second later his eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw a code in the bottom corner of the photo. He took it and watched it.

"This is--"

His words were cut off because his phone was ringing. Bara immediately grabbed his phone and looked at the flat object screen. A series of numbers are plastered on the screen of his phone.

"Hello, who---"

"Hows it? Have you received a package from me?" ask the caller.

Bara scrunched his forehead. He felt familiar with that voice. But he did not dare to accuse anyone.

"Good time, Bara! Hopefully your wife also saw what I sent her," he said again.

"Hey! Si--"

The mysterious caller disconnects his phone before Bara finishes his speech.
