Alarick was stunned to hear Ravella's request. Despite not knowing what this woman meant, Alarick tries to calm Ravella down, at least until their work is done.
"I will definitely help Mom as much as I can. But now I'm calm. Remove Mom's tears and then we meet Mr. Sahrul. After that we'll talk" said Alarick holding Ravella's hand.
Ravella nodded without saying a word. He took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe away his tears.
While walking into Mr. Sahrul's room, Ravella felt ashamed of herself. He could not understand why he had to act so forcefully in front of Alarick. He should be able to control himself and not expose his personal problems to others.
"It must have happened because I was too stressed. I can't do it again,"
thought Ravella was sorry.
He knew he had no one to share his story with. Therefore he must become stronger in order to be able to defend Marco and Mirel.
"Good afternoon, Miss Ravella," said Mr. Sahrul, reaching out.
"Sore, sir, I'm sorry I'm a little late" Ravella said.
"It's okay, let's sit down."
Ravella also tried to forget the problem during a meeting with Mr. Sahrul. Alarick who accompanied Ravella also felt relieved because his boss had returned to his normal state.
After meeting for about an hour and a half, Ravella and Alarick left Mr. Sahrul's office. Before riding on the motorbike, Ravella had time to check her phone with a pounding heart. He was afraid Steven would send another threat. Moreover, he has not also replied to a message from the man did not know himself.
"Rick, where are we going?" ravella asked confused. He realized that they were not heading towards the office.
"It's a good place to talk, ma'am," replied Alarick from behind his helmet.
"I'm going back to the office to get my bike" Ravella said. He doesn't want to be alone with Alarick outside office hours. It could be that he will let go of talking and revealing his personal secrets to the man.
"The motor is easy business, ma'am. After all, there is a security guard 24 hours in the office. Mom's motor won't go away."
"Rick, please turn around. I want to go home soon."
Alarick ignored Ravella's request. He continued to drive a motorbike until he arrived at a cafe with natural nuances. Alarick is interested in visiting this cafe after seeing its beauty on social media. And because he did not have close friends in the city of Bogor, he decided to invite Ravella.
"Why are we here, Rick?"
"To chat, Mom, time to sell a broom," Alarick went ahead of Ravella.
When they entered, then it was seen the atmosphere of a very beautiful cafe. Everywhere there are shady trees and plants. Even at the back of the cafe, a small forest was created that was similar to a real pine forest.
"Sir, how many people would you like to book a table for?" ask the cafe waiter who welcomed Alarick.
"Two people. I want the one over there, which goes into the forest area," Alarick replied pointing with his finger.
"Well, come with me, sir."
Ravella was secretly afraid when she had to eat in a quiet place, especially alone with Alarick. This staff does look innocent and it is impossible to do anything, but still Ravella feels awkward. But because he was already in this cafe, it is impossible that he could refuse or escape.
"Please choose the menu, sir," said the cafe waiter.
"What do you want to order?" alarick opened the menu book.
"No, you eat. I'm not hungry yet" Ravella said.
"I don't like eating alone, Mom. If you don't want to choose, I'll order food for you" Alarick said. He felt he had to be strict with this woman so as not to waste his time.
Without Ravella's approval, Alarick chose a menu that the cafe waiter said was most in demand by visitors. After the cafe waitress left them, Alarick immediately sniffed a description from Ravella.
"Ehmm, I don't have any problems. Maybe you misinterpreted my words earlier," Ravella replied lying.
Alarick poked his shoulder forward while staring at Ravella. When they got this close, Alarick looked very different to Ravella. He is no longer a plain nerd man, but rather looks like a masculine man with a dangerous charm.
"Mom think I'm a kid who's easy to lie to? My own mother asked me to not lose both of my children."
"That's.I just get carried away."
"No way! My mother involved me in my mother's affairs. So it's only natural that I ask for an explanation."
"Sorry, Rick, I didn't mean to trouble you. Forget my words. Let's just talk about work" Ravella replied evasively.
"It's okay if you don't want to confess. But we'll stay in this cafe until midnight."
"Rick, why are you forcing me? We are just coworkers. It's not appropriate to talk about things outside the office."
"I need to know about my mother's problems so as not to interfere with my work. If every day you daydream, cry and lose focus, how can you teach me?" press Alarick. His tone increased because he was annoyed with Ravella's childish attitude.
Ravella lowered her head. Hearing Alarick scold him, he somehow wanted to cry. No one can understand his feelings. All men are the same. It usually just makes a woman's heart throb pain, including this man in front of her.
"If I tell you about my problem, what can you do for me?" challenge Ravella.
"I have to analyze first how severe your problem is, then I will decide how to solve it," replied Alarick lightly.
"Oh, you really want to know. Okay, I'll tell you."
Ravella paused for a moment to pause her sentence while exhaling a long breath.
"I need a husband! And I need to get married soon!"
Alarick gasped at the answer Ravella gave. Either she heard wrong or this woman was really serious about what she said.
Ravella is cold towards men, so why does she suddenly want to get married? Could this woman be lonely, hungry, or experiencing serious hormonal problems? Ah, it is fitting that Ravella often daydreams unclear. Let alone this beautiful widow also often fantasize about herself.
Alarick gave a faint smile. If this woman needs warmth from him, she can actually give. It's just that he was reluctant to get involved in a romance scandal early in his work.
Surprisingly when remembering the words Ravella in front of the elevator, he clearly mentioned about the loss of children. What is the relationship between marriage and the loss of a child? What a woman this one life is full of puzzles.
"Mom needs a husband? I'll try to help Mom because I happen to have a lot of friends. It's just that you need to get acquainted and approach them first before deciding to get married. There is no instant wedding. Well, what kind of male criteria do you want?"
Ravella squinted her eyes as if preparing to pounce on Alarick.
"My story is an innocent man, does not like to touch women, does not get carried away with love, looks ordinary and comes from a simple family."
Again Alarick was astonished by Ravella's request. Where there are women who ask for husbands with this odd criterion. Alarick is increasingly convinced that Ravella has a psychic disorder so that his personality changes in an instant.
"Mom sure?" alarick asked raising his eyebrows.
"That's sure. And I have one of the most important additional criteria."
"What is that, Mom?"
"She must be willing to marry me until the deadline I set. And in return I will pay him some money" Ravella said coldly.
