Duren Mateng's
Chapter 28. Not Me!
The next day, Alvaro and Bima had prepared to do the routine. The two handsome men came out of the house.
"Papa, why is the Doctor's mother not seen as well," said Bima directed her gaze towards the door of Rania which is still closed.
"Maybe the Doctor has left first" said Alvaro who immediately took his son's hand.
The two handsome men walked into the elevator. Alvaro closed the elevator doors. However, not yet the iron door was tightly closed, Rania came and made the elevator door open again.
"Mother Doctor!" bima who looks very enthusiastic. Bima shifted her body slightly closer to her father, giving the beautiful woman space to stand next to him.
Rania developed her smile, the woman stepped her foot inside, then stood beside Bima.
Alvaro just kept quiet, for some reason the man became more reserved than before. Bima was astonished, occasionally raised his head, staring at the two adults on his left and right alternately.
"I'm sorry that I left you in front of the clinic yesterday" said Rania, who tried to open the subject.
"I'm also sorry for deflating the tires of your car yesterday" Alvaro said.
"That means we're even" said Rania as she expanded her smile.
"Hmmm," Alvaro briefly replied, making Rania twist both her eyes lazily.
"Why does he ignore me like this?" rania wondered.
Tingg ...
The elevator door opened, Alvaro just walked away from the narrow room. He took his son to get out of there.
Rania looked at Alvaro as if in disbelief. He blew a little boy's hair that fell on his forehead. "What's wrong with that guy? Why is he acting so indifferent? That's right!" grouse Rania.
The girl stomped her legs slightly, then walked ahead of Alvaro who was already in front of her.
"Papa, why would you behave like that to Doctor Ma'am?" bima asked, raising her head.
"I'm sorry, Papa, son." Alvaro chimed in on his son's remarks without elaborating.
Rania drives forward, the woman takes a look when she crosses paths with Alvaro. There was guilt surrounding the man. However, he does not want to give hope to Rania because he must fulfill the request of his twin brother first.
On the way, Rania cursed Alvaro. Evaporating all the uneg-uneg that he had previously held. "Look! He's so haughty. Wasn't he even willing to wait for me in front of the clinic to fall asleep? What happened to his attitude this morning? What a weird guy," Rania grumbled.
The car driven by Alvaro had just arrived in front of the Bima school. The little man said goodbye to his father before entering his class.
.....
Evening arrived, Alvaro deliberately entrusted Bara again with Arumi. As he promised yesterday, the man wanted to invite Shinta to go on a date.
There was the sound of a short message notification from his phone. Alvaro rubbed the flattened screen. A short message from Shinta informs him of the location where Alvaro must pick him up.
Alvaro came out of the house with a neat appearance. The elevator door closed, Alvaro waiting for someone to come out of the elevator.
Tingg ....
When the elevator door opened, Alvaro was shocked because the person inside was Rania. The man tried to normalize his facial expression back.
While Rania, the girl stared at Alvaro from top to bottom. "He's neat, looks like this guy is about to date. Naturally, if his attitude had suddenly changed, it turned out that this was the reason," Rania's inner self.
Alvaro smiled faintly looking at Rania, while the girl showed a flat facial expression. The girl sauntered past from in front of Alvaro.
"His daughter always asked me to be her mother, while her own father looked for another mother. Just watch out if he comes to me," Rania muttered softly.
"Wait first! Why would I wish that he would come to me someday? Jeez ...." Rania patted her forehead, then walked into her house.
....
Alvaro arrives in front of Shinta's house. He saw that Andre's former secretary was already waiting for him in front. The man got out of his car, then walked over to Shinta.
"Will you come by for a minute? I'll make you a cup of warm tea" Shinta said.
Somehow the offer from Shinta made Alvaro even more suspicious of the woman. "Is this how you teased your previous boss?" inner Alvaro.
"No need! I cannot linger because after this I still have business" Alvaro refused.
"All right, then let's go!" Shinta walked up to Alvaro, then wrapped her hands around Alvaro's arms while struggling spoiled.
Alvaro took an oath in his heart. He hated women who were too aggressive.
"really! This woman is worse than Bima's teacher yesterday" Alvaro said in his heart.
Both of them walked to the car. Shinta did not let go of the link of his hand, making Alvaro feel careless.
"Can you let go of your hand? We'll go in at a different door" Alvaro said.
"Do you not want to open the door?" ask Shinta.
"I'm sorry, but I hope you can still keep your limits. Your attitude like this makes me feel uncomfortable" said Alvaro.
Shinta flicked her lips, the woman immediately let go of Alvaro's hand and walked towards the opposite door. Alvaro could only shake his head, then entered the car.
On the way, both of them were silent without any chatter. Alvaro is busy driving while Shinta, the woman is busy fiddling with her phone.
Shortly after, the car driven by Alvaro arrives at a fancy restaurant. Both got out of the car. After being reprimanded by Alvaro earlier, Shinta is more maintaining his attitude, the woman seems to still understand human language.
Alvaro and Shinta occupied one of the tables. A servant with an attractive appearance, served them very kindly. Each one holds a menu list, then shows the menu they selected to the waiter there.
After the waiter died, Shinta looked at Alvaro carefully. "It seems you didn't come here because you were interested or asked me out on a date" Shinta said.
"What exactly is your purpose?" shinta asked as she cast a full glance.
Alvaro smiled slantingly, "It turns out you are quite good at guessing," Alvaro said.
"Well, I want to ask you one thing. Are you Andre's cheating?" ask Alvaro seriously.
Shinta immediately laughed at Alvaro's words, "It turns out you are curious about this," said the girl in a slightly mocking tone.
"My first answer!" press Alvaro.
"What do I get if I tell you?" ask Shinta who is trying to negotiate with Alvaro.
"Whatever you ask, I'll grant you" the man replied.
"Hopefully this crazy woman didn't ask for anything from me" said Alvaro.
"I want you to recruit me as a secretary at your company. I've lost my job because of you" Shinta said.
Alvaro breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Shinta's request was still within the limits of reasonableness. "Well, tomorrow you start working in my office, but answer my question first" said Alvaro.
"I'm not Andre's affair, but I know Andre has a child from his affair" Shinta said.
Alvaro was surprised, the man clenched his hands trying to hold back emotions after hearing the remark from Shinta.
"Do you know that woman?" alvaro asked with sharp eyes.
Shinta nodded, the woman moved from her seat. He approached Alvaro and whispered something to the man.
"Huh? That's right!" alvaro was stunned after hearing Shinta's words.
Seriate...
