Casanova Dipinang Sholeha
A Rare Smile

Sophia smiled and nodded.

Alex carried him. Bring to bed. That morning was a repeat of last night's love history. Carve a beautiful story in a love book. Sheet by sheet filled with the beauty of love second to none. The singing and the love verses began to re-echo. It is undeniable that Alex has excellent stamina while on the climb of love. That's why she's nicknamed the casanova. However Alex is very gentle on Sophia in contrast to treating other women. Usually he just passes on lust. As for Sophia, not only lust but burning love and a sense of belonging are dominant.

After an hour. Alex stops because he doesn't want Sophia to get tired. His face looks pale. Alex hugged Sophia in a thick blanket with her.

"I'm glad you have to rest, I'll cook" Alex said.

"Can you cook?" ask Sophia.

"It can, it's just not as good as you, baby" Alex replied.

"Mas, I want to ask permission" Sophia said.

"What adultery?" ask Alex.

"I want to meet the heirs of the land that was consecrated to the mosque" Sophia replied.

"I've read the news about it on social media" said Alex. Yesterday when he opened his social media, the news made headlines. That's why Alex knows, too.

"Yes, it's trending, how's Mas?" ask Sophia.

"When?" ask Alex.

"This morning" replied Sophia.

"This morning I have a meeting with an important client, it doesn't seem to be able to accompany you baby, is it okay?" ask Alex.

Sophia hugged Alex tightly. He rested his head on Alex's chest.

"It's okay, Mommy" replied Sophia.

"Secretary Wang will escort you" Alex said.

"There's Aiko, Secretary Wang replaced me this morning, I'm on leave" Sophia said.

"Thank God that there's Aiko, call me if there's anything dear" Alex said.

Sophia nodded. He's happy that Alex is accompanying his life. Although it is not easy to bring it to this stage. Time answers everything.

Sophia had breakfast with Sebastian's family. All the members sat in breakfast chairs together. Marisa and Claudya's mother looks good looking at Sophia.

"His son is really a wife, his husband's cooking time," said Marisa's mother.

"Yes Ma, I'd like to go to my girlfriend's house to cook Ma, even if not the wife," added Claudya.

"Papa for a lifetime never cook, it's a shame to demean the dignity of the husband" said Mr. Ferdi.

"I don't want to cook, it's crazy to have a wife" Gavin added.

"Sophia is much better than you guys who don't work but keep asking for money, parasites," Alex said.

"Alex!" snapped Mr. Ferdi pounding the table.

The room immediately warmed up. Alex doesn't like his wife always being the stuff of his family. They are clearly parasites. Who can only ask for money and money. His life is just a pitya-foya. Moreover, Mr. Ferdi who only gambling, drunk and playing women out there. Likewise with Ms. Marisa who every day shopping with her social friends. Claudya and Gavin are also not much different from their parents.

"It's a place to eat not a wrestling arena, sit quietly or go outside!" strict Grandpa David.

"I'm out! The child does not know it is lucky" said Mr. Ferdi. Then walk outside.

"Me too" said Gavin and Claudya. They both came out of the dining room.

"Breakfast outside is better than here" said Marisa's mother who also went outside.

Grandpa David, Alex and Sophia live in the dining room. His face is tense. A home that should be comfortable. It is just a false means as if the family even though it is only a formality.

"Let's continue eating" Grandpa David asked.

"Yes Kek, would you like to add the side dish, let Sophia take it?" ask Sophia.

"May," answered Grandpa David.

"I love you too" Alex added.

"Yes," said Sophia. She brought a side dish for her grandfather and husband. Not only that Alex bribed him. Making Sophia a little embarrassed to see Grandpa David but instead grandfather happy to see the development of their relationship. Sophia's arrival at the house brought a good change for Alex.

After eating Sophia drove Alex up to the terrace. Bring her bag. Alex kissed Sophia's forehead. Read the basmalah at the time of kissing it. Pray for Sophia's health and safety in her heart.

"Be careful on Mas Street" Sophia said.

"Dear, call me if there's anything later" Alex said.

Sophia nodded. Kiss Alex's hand. Then waved as the woman drove her car away from the mansion.

At 7am Alex arrived at the company. Kenan's been waiting in the lobby since morning. When he saw Alex's car stop in front of the lobby, Kenan immediately approached the car. Kenan put on a face full of smiles. Usually the boss leaves this morning his emotions are unstable, anyone will be exposed to hot lava bursts. Instead of having to evacuate, better be ready for umbrellas before the rain.

Car door open. Kenan had wanted to smile and pay maximum respect was even surprised to see his Boss.

Alex's face beamed with a wide smile emitted from his face. A positive aura filled it. Alex greeted Kenan kindly.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Alex.

"Wa'alaikumsallam Boss," replied Kenan.

"Astagfirullah, what was the dream last night, because of the boss diomelin bini huh?" inner Kenan. He was stunned to see a very different Alex.

"Henner!" call Alex.

"Yes the boss" said Kenan. Returning from his heart who thought his boss was whipped so powerful Sophia turned rich power rangers.

"Let's go in, there's a meeting, right?" said Alex.

"Ready Boss," said Kenan.

Alex enters the office, followed by Kenan, who walks behind him. As a loyal and ogah secretary is thrown down even though the Boss is a true oppressor type.

Alex smiled, gave his greetings and returned his subordinates greetings. Which he never did before.

"Again" said Alex.

Some employees were surprised. Alex is very different. So dazzling. They're talking about Alex they're seeing right now.

"That's the boss, his face is shining yes, it's usually sinful."

"That smile, honey just lose its sweetness."

"Did that last night look like his beautiful wife?"

"Lo's son, yeah, it must have run out of it. The husband and wife."

"Yes. Than anyone else, know the boss."

They all nodded. It's like knowing what Alex's character has been like all this time. But today the Alex they saw was very different. Better than ever.

Alex sat in his room smiling. Imagine what she did last night with Sophia. Kenan in front of him was considered non-existent. Only the crumbs are on display.

"Boss wants a meeting, still good?" ask Kenan.

"It's a good darling" Alex replied.

"Astagfirullah, my boss is still normal, I'm pregnant again" replied Kenan.

"Again, baby" said Alex.

"Also, I also ngondek if the boss deket," said Kenan.

Soon Kenan took the drinking water. Read the verse of the chair and pour water in the glass into Alex's head.

Belved ...

"The impression this morning was his own smiles, apparently possessed by perverted demons," said Kenan.

"Oh Allah awakened my Boss from the perverse disturbance of Satan, normalizing his return" Kenan said.

"Henner!" alex squealed, his face wet and his clothes wet too. Glared towards Kenan who was still carrying a glass.

"Alhamdulillah, the Boss is conscious" said Kenan.

"You're tired of Kenan's life?" ask Alex to be angry.

"Even if the boss still wants to live, the child already wants two, who mengempaninan tar," said Kenan. This one way is most effective when bullied by his Boss. Fortunately today Alex is happy again, Kenan just hit the laser eye not to be blown.

Sophia accompanied Aiko to go to the house of the heiress who gave her land for the mosque. That morning Sophia was wearing a cream-colored robe with a light-grey hijab. He sat next to Aiko in the car. Aiko explained what kind of person Sophia would meet. They also discussed the plans that will be taken later.

After an hour of travel. Sophia arrived at the outskirts of Jakarta. A simple house with a garden on its right and left. The house looks empty. Full of stuff on the terrace. The large and shady trees in front of the house add to the atmosphere of being scary. Sophia got out of the car with Aiko. Walk a few steps. Paused. They stood looking ahead.

"Sophia is spooky as well as her home, away from the neighbors," said Aiko.

"Is this really Aiko's house?" ask Sophia.

Aiko fell silent. He had goosebumps looking at the deserted house with several large trees in front of him. Plus a lot of stuff in front of the house. He remembered a movie about psychopaths.

"Aiko!" call Sophia.

"Ee. .., yes it is," replied Aiko.

"What are you guys doing here?" ask someone from behind.

Sophia and Aiko turned around. Surprised to find the man behind him carrying a machete. Aiko swallowed her saliva many times. Her hand held Sophia's hand.

"Sophia," whispered Aiko quietly. His hands were cold and shaking. The feathers go up. Sophia was silent.
