Duren Mateng's
Chapters 204. A Different Person

Hearing Arjuna's words, Alvira opened her eyes several times. Somehow he saw if Arjuna's jaw seemed to harden when he talked about Andre.

"I know you haven't fully accepted me. Maybe your heart still holds a little love for the previous man. But can't you trust me a little? He and I are two different people" Arjuna said.

"I'm sorry if the question I've been asking has led to a wrong opinion. Really am! I don't mean to compare you to Andre" explained Alvira who was immediately confused. Just this time, looking at Arjuna looked disappointed.

"If you really want to know, why my reason is still single, yes it's all because I can't forget you. I am not a cowardly man, accepting another woman just to escape your shadow and in the end, I will hurt her" Arjuna said.

"Believe it or not, that's my answer to your question. And if you don't believe my words, it doesn't matter to me because it's your right. However, I hope you don't close your eyes, pretending not to see how I struggle. I mean it to you, Alvira. Not just words that lead to mere lies," continued Arjuna at length.

He reveals all his tastes to Alvira. With the aim that the woman wanted to open her eyes, not compare herself to Andre. After all, Arjuna was also a human being, who had a heart. A few words were thrown from Alvira's mouth earlier, enough to slash her heart.

"Yes, I believe you. I'm sorry for saying that" Alvira said, apologizing to her boyfriend so that he would no longer be angry with her.

"I try not to get angry, but I also can't hold everything inside this cavity of my chest. If I hold on continuously, it makes me feel tight for a long time and this is really painful" said Arjuna.

"Yes .. yes .. I'm sorry, don't need to talk about it. I want the next story to be just us, without having to look back and discuss the old people" Alvira said seriously.

Hearing the earnestness of Alvira, making Arjuna feel relieved. Especially when the woman said that she did not want to go back to dealing with old people, making Arjuna a little bit of a gap to step up to a more serious level again.

"Taste the snacks too. It tastes sweet, just like you are smiling," said Alvira trying to seduce Arjuna, so that his lover no longer shows a hostile face.

Hearing Alvira's words, Arjuna suddenly laughed. He could not help it, let alone Alvira speaking like that with a very adorable facial expression. Make Arjuna, want to eat the woman round and round. (Don't go to Juna🙄)

Arjuna finally gave up on him. He developed a smile again, took a snack in the glass jar, then tasted food that has a crisp texture with a sweet taste.

"I think it's less sweet" said Arjuna.

"really? But I think it's already so sweet." Alvira returned to take the snack.

"I don't think so. The sweetest thing is you."

Blushhh ...

Alvira's face turned red. Not because the woman felt angry, but she felt embarrassed because she had just received an appeal from her lover. Though he just threw the same seduction at Arjuna. However, Alvira was still wrong when his appeal was thrown back by the man in front of him.

"Why? Your face flushed like that?" arjuna's God is deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"Stop, Yang! I'm ashamed!" Alvira spontaneously turned her face away. While his hands were fluttered because both cheeks were completely red like boiled shrimp.

That night, they continued another conversation. Sometimes Alvira laughs, when Arjuna tells about things that are quite interesting. About her daily life at home and also in the work environment.

Elsewhere, Arumi was biting the pempek made by Bu Isna. While Abian, the boy was carried by Bu Isna. When Rania asked for it, Miss Isna immediately forbade her daughter.

"No way, son. You are pregnant. In the village, if a woman is pregnant it should not be close to a small child," said Ms. Isna.

"Well, why is Miss Isna?" asked Arumi who was curious.

"Yes, if in the village, pregnant women should not be close to small children. The fear of the little boy will be sick because he has to fight with the baby in Rania's stomach. Actually this is just a myth, but there is no harm if we also obey such prohibitions," explained Ms. Isna.

"Alright, Ma. Actually Rania had also heard about the myth. But according to medical science, the myth should not carry a child while pregnant because later it will experience emphasis on the back and it makes the body of pregnant women weaker," said Rania.

"Ck! Still don't be reckless! You can't just trust medical science. There are times when hereditary knowledge is also worth believing in" said Bu Isna.

"Yes, Ma." Rania nodded in understanding, only able to see Abian and show her cute face. While Arumi, hearing the explanation from the mother and child, could only nod her head in understanding. Then later, the woman again ate the pempek in her hand.

The atmosphere in Alvaro's house the last few days seemed very crowded. With the union of the two families, Alvaro and Rania feel happy, especially Bima. This boy was busy with his two grandfathers. While Abian, sleeping in the lap of Bu Isna.

"Mama Abian why don't you come, Ma?" ask Rania.

"He still has business. The problem of love. Since dating, Alvira is like a young boy" Arumi said.

"Puberty the second time" the woman continued, expanding her smile.

"Mama is just that" said Rania.

"It's okay, Mom. What is important in the household is the usual principle. If they want to be like that, even better. That way Abian will get a new papa. Isn't that right, honey?" asked Ms. Isna who tried to look at the little boy with her funny face. Rania nodded, confirming her mother's words.

"Just ask for her prayer, Miss Isna. If they get married later, hopefully they will still get along well and can accept each other's shortcomings" Arumi said.

"of course. We will always pray for the best for them" said Ms Isna.

"But ... Alvira had left something to mama," said Arumi.

"Something what does Ma mean?" ask Rania.

Arumi cleared her throat for a moment, before expressing her wish. "He asked to be wrapped in a pempek" said the woman.

"Oh, I guess leave what. All right, I will immediately prepare it for Alvira," said Rania who immediately moved from her seat. The expectant mother immediately walked into the kitchen to wrap Alvira's order.

Now Arumi and Miss Isna live there. Arumi smiled, while stroking the top of her grandson's head held by Bu Isna.

At the same time, the fathers were talking about something serious, accompanied by a cup of coffee and also food made by Bu Isna who became the complement.

"Being a farmer like us likes to have his pain" said Mr. Hendrawan.

"Like when the harvest is abundant and hurt when the capital we spend does not get the right results. For example, farmers who manage rice fields, when they plant rice, are attacked by pests and must provide intensive care for their crops. Like giving him fertilizer and also drugs to eradicate pests. All of this requires a considerable cost. However, at harvest time, the price of rice immediately plummeted," said Mr. Hendrawan who explained about the lives of farmers in the village.

"That means the same as effort, sir. I was too once. Once, when the financial branch company was unstable. The impact we have to find back capital to cover these shortcomings. Think hard how the hell, so that this problem is resolved," said Fahri who just finished sipping coffee.

"Yes ..the point is that farmers and entrepreneurs can be said to have the same goal. Like farmers who want to get results that are in accordance with capital and even if it can be more than that, the entrepreneurs are like that." Alvaro added to the words of the two men.

"The fact that farmers like us are one of you. If we only support one head of the family, while you support many heads of the family," said Mr. Hendrawan.

Alvaro and Fahri nodded their heads with a smile, confirming what Mr. Hendrawan had said.

"Yes, it's true what Mr. Hendrawan said." Fahri chuckles, and goes back to sipping his coffee.

Alvaro set his sights on the mothers who were occupying the sofa in the living room. " Alvira why don't you come, Pa?" alvaro asked a little whisper. It is not good if this is heard by Mr. Hendrawan

"Your brother is busy with his man. I told you to meet at your house, but he was embarrassed to be seen directly by your in-laws" Fahri explained.

"Are you going to hand over the branch company with him?" ask Fahri.

"Yes, Pa. He asked for it soon. At first he asked me to re-manage him the next year. However, soon after, he called me back and asked him to immediately take care of the rest and after that he wanted to jump back into the business world" said Alvaro.

"Don't you explain to focus on the child first?"

"Come, Pa. Alvira's having a hard time accepting my input. Inevitably, I let him take care of it back. However, I sent a secretary who had worked at a branch company yesterday to help Alvira. That way, I can easily keep an eye on Alvira's performance from a distance" explained Alvaro.

"Anyways, papa leave your twin brother's problem to you." Fahri patted his son on the shoulder, and Alvaro nodded his head, obeying his father's words.
