Duren Mateng's
Chapter 48. My neighbor's my idol


Alvaro walked out of the place while holding Rania's hand. The girl just resigned herself, letting Alvaro take her.


Alvaro saw that there were some people who wanted to enter the room, immediately Alvaro took off the suit he was wearing, and then put the object on Rania's head trying to cover the sad face of the girl. Alvaro's hand slightly embraced Rania's shoulder from behind, leading the way for the woman.


Rania was shocked by Alvaro's actions just now. The girl thought that Alvaro was a different man. However, back to thinking about Dion's words a moment ago, which provoked his trauma back to not believe something called love in men.


"I'll get you in the car" said Alvaro right in front of Rania's ear.


Rania's view is dark because it's covered in Alvaro's suit. The fragrance of the perfume from the suit, sniffed by her sense of smell, and Rania liked the scent of the perfume.


Gently, Alvaro led Rania to the car. The man's hand was embracing his shoulder, as if providing protection to him who looked fragile at this time.


Alvaro opened the car door, the girl slightly revealed the suit that covered her face, then entered the vehicle.


"Please wait here, I'll meet Bima first" Alvaro said.


Rania just nodded her head slowly. The girl looked at Alvaro's broad shoulders which were getting farther away.


"Do you think that man really loves you? You're so stupid when it comes to love."


The words that Dion had spoken back rang in his ears. Rania is a fool when it comes to matters of the heart. The girl will always try her best to look good and maintain a relationship with her efforts half-dead.


But would he be if Alvaro became like Dion? Who left her after the girl gave up her whole life. Can Rania accept the harsh reality back?


Rania looked straight ahead. The girl saw Alvaro who was holding her son stepping towards her.


Bima went inside occupying the seat that was in the back. And Alvaro is back in the steering wheel. The man looked at Rania for a moment, ascertaining if the girl was okay.


Rania seems to understand the code given by Alvaro. He nodded while looking at his smile.


On the way, Rania was no longer as noisy as before. The girl was more silent and just stared straight ahead.


"Doctor why stay quiet?" bima asked because he was surprised, Rania's attitude changed not as usual.


"It's okay, Bima." Rania chimed in on the little man's words while reviewing his smile.


"Mother Doctor is exhausted" Alvaro said.


Rania set her eyes on Alvaro. The girl smiled faintly, glancing at the man behind the steering wheel. While Bima nodded in understanding after listening to the words from her father.


Shortly after, Alvaro's car arrived at the apartment. The man stopped his car in the parking lot. He got out of the vehicle and walked to the elevator.


Tingg ...


The elevator opened, and they came out of the narrow room. Rania and Alvaro headed to their respective homes. Alvaro opened the door, letting his son in first.


Rania was still standing at her door. After making sure Bima entered, the girl approached Alvaro and gave the suit in his hand to the owner.


"This is the suit that you lent earlier" said Rania as she thrust the object.


"Thank you for everything" the girl continued.


Alvaro grabbed the suit that was in Rania's hands. The man slightly pulled both corners of his lips. "I also thank you for being willing to attend" Alvaro said.


Rania nodded her head. He entered his house without saying anything more. Alvaro looked at Rania, the man understood the reason for the girl's silence from earlier, of course because of her meeting with her former lover first.

Ms. Isna was enjoying dinner while watching television. Shortly after, his neighbor came in a bit of a hurry.


"Jeng, there's some hot news, Jeng!" Said the thick-bodied woman while showing something on her phone.


"What news?" ask Ms. Isna.


The woman handed the flat object to Miss Isna. He saw a picture of his daughter who was with Alvaro and Bima. Miss Isna immediately choked to see the photo.


"Did I not look wrong?" mumbling Bu Isna while rubbing his eyes several times.


"It seems like it won't be long for Miss Isna to get a daughter-in-law" chirped the woman next door neighbor who again kept her phone in her negligee pocket.


"I hope so too. I waited too long for my daughter to get a partner to set up a blind date for her several times. However, the girl was a little stupid and always rejected all the men I had offered to her," said Ms. Isna.


"Hopefully he and his neighbors can be a match. I'd better be there tomorrow," continued Miss Isna expectantly.


"Neighbors?! They both mean neighbors?" ask the woman, closing her mouth.


"Yes. He and the man are neighbors" said Ms Isna.


"The title means my neighbor is my idol" the woman said as she nudged Ms. Isna's arm.


"Five-step girlfriend" said Ms. Isna.


The two middle-aged women immediately chuckled, funny at their own words.


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


The next day, Alvaro had prepared breakfast. Lately the man cooked more breakfast than usual because he always invited Rania to breakfast together. Alvaro released the apron he was wearing. Then walk out of his house.


Now the man was right at the door. He was ready to knock on his neighbor's door. However, the man abandoned his intentions because he saw Rania who had opened the door first.


"What's wrong?" ask Rania. The girl was ready to go to work.


"I want to take you to breakfast together, consider it a substitute for my thanks because yesterday you were willing to come to Bima school," said the man looking for another reason.


"Thank you for breakfast, but I have to go to the clinic today" Rania said.


"Oh yeah, it's okay. Then be careful on the road" said Alvaro, smiling.


Rania nodded her head, then left in front of her neighbor. Alvaro looked at Rania and disappeared from his sight. Walking away, the man went back inside the house.


"Where's the Doctor Ma'am, Pa?" asked Bima who saw the face of her father who was a little sour.


"Mother Doctor is busy, son. Let's have breakfast!" said Alvaro who immediately dropped his ass on one of the seats in the place.


Connect ...
