Duren Mateng's
Chapter 55. Wait around
"Male? So this account belongs ...." Rania shut her mouth in disbelief. The girl also re-scrolled the screen of her phone, seeing the post one by one.
Rania's eyes were fixed on a post five years ago, with words so heartbreaking.
Your struggle has reached this point. But I love you, I didn't get here. Rest in peace, my wife. I love you today, tomorrow, and until later.
Suddenly there is a sense of regret in Rania because it has been bad for thinking all this time. Alvaro is not a coward like the rest of the men. Seeing the man who is still a widower now, indicates that he is indeed a good man, who is not easily tempted by the temptations of women around him. Although, in a matter of seconds Alvaro can get any woman.
"I've misjudged it. Turns out he's a good guy. God, why am I so stupid to waste it. Wasn't I the one who chased him yesterday? When he was close to me, it was me who looked indifferent to him" Rania muttered.
He scrolled the screen again, then saw some photos of Alvaro's post with his late wife.
"The wife is very beautiful," said Rania who still scrolls the screen of her phone until Alvaro's last post.
The girl looked at the account that Alvaro followed there were only two. He also felt curious, clicking on the number of followers. There's an account and another one called Diara00.
Rania's high curiosity, made the girl also click on the account. However, unfortunately the account was locked by the owner, so Rania could not see the post displayed on the account.
"Well .. locked," murmured Rania.
The girl moved from her position, then walked towards the dressing table, fixing her slightly disheveled hair. He came straight out of his room, trying to apologize directly to his neighbor. Because in these days, Rania has always been rude to Alvaro.
Rania exits her unit, the girl is at Alvaro's doorstep. At first she hesitates, but Rania emboldens herself to press the doorbell of Alvaro's house.
Several times Rania pressed the doorbell of the house. Still, there is no answer at all.
"Has he not come home yet?" muttered the girl.
Rania looked at the clock on her phone, showing the time at 22:00.
"It's ten o'clock at night" muttered Rania.
Rania also chose to walk to the elevator that delivered her to the ground floor. The girl wanted to make sure, by seeing Alvaro's car in the parking lot.
Upon arrival at the parking lot, Rania stared at all directions. However, he did not find the car belonging to the widower of one child.
"It turns out he really hasn't come home yet" Rania murmured.
Rania chooses to wait for Alvaro's return in her car alone. When he reached into the pocket of his jacket, the girl did not find the keys in his pocket.
"Gosh, I did leave the key at home" Rania said, patting her on the forehead.
As a result, the girl returned to her house first to retrieve the keys, and then returned to the ground floor, waiting for Alvaro in the car.
Elsewhere, Alvaro is in the main room. A look of worry surfaced on her face when she learned that Alvira had fallen unconscious after attending her divorce hearing earlier this afternoon.
Alvira is currently asleep. Doctors advise pregnant women to rest a lot and not too much mind.
"Did the man say something to Alvira, Ma. Did Andre threaten Alvira?" a series of questions Alvaro sent to Arumi.
"The man said nothing. Maybe Alvira had been too heavy on her mind, causing her to fall unconscious" replied Arumi.
"You don't have to worry, your sister is fine" Arumi continued.
Arumi smiled, Alvaro does look like he is indifferent to Alvira. But the man actually loved his sister. Moreover, Alvira is currently pregnant, while Andre is heartily betraying Alvira.
"You just got home from the office. Now rest up, son. Let mama take care of Alvira" said Arumi.
"Varo will stay here, Ma. Until Vira is completely healed. Varo does not want anything to happen with Vira and the child in the womb" said Alvaro who then stepped away from the room to his room.
Bima approached his father, then took Alvaro's hand.
"Pa, we're staying at Grandma's?" ask Bima.
"Yes, Honey. We sleep here first, it's okay, right?" alvaro asked his son.
"It's okay, Pa. Bima was happy to stay at grandma's place. Bima wants to accompany Aunt Vira. Aunt Vira's fine, isn't she, Pa?" ask Bima again.
Alvaro opened the doorknob, then brought his only son into the room.
"Tante Vira is fine, son. Now Bima sleep first yes, it's night." Alvaro crouched down, his hands pinched gently on the cheeks of his child.
"Pa, Bima can sleep in Aunt Vira's room. Bima wants to accompany Aunt Vira tonight. Tomorrow's school holiday, Pa." Bima asked permission from his father.
Alvaro smiled then nodded his head. "Boleh Nak, but do not sleep at night yes, later Bima will hurt if lack of sleep," said Alvaro.
"Good, Pa. Thank you for allowing Bima."
"Yes, Son. You're welcome."
With a happy face, Bima immediately ran out of the room. Closing the door he opened.
After Bima died, Alvaro immediately walked to the nightstand. He pulled out his cell phone in his pocket. Charge because the advanced object runs out of battery.
Alvaro decides to go to the bathroom, cleaning himself first.
....
Long enough Rania waited for Alvaro who never showed himself. In fact, the girl brought her pillows and blankets, choosing to sleep in the car waiting for Alvaro's return.
It's eleven o'clock in the evening, Alvaro is still nowhere to be seen. Rania fiddled with her phone, looking at the contact she named the lid of the pot.
He wants to contact Alvaro, but Rania is hesitant. He was embarrassed to call Alvaro just to ask where the man was, while he was just his neighbor, not his lover.
"Call, no, phone, no" Rania muttered as she weighed what she was doing next.
After thinking for a long time, Rania had an idea. Calling Alvaro to say sorry to the man, as he seemed to ignore Alvaro for days.
Rania immediately dialed the contact, attaching the flat object to one of her ears.
The number you are going to is either inactive or out of range.
Hearing the voice of the woman who was none other than the operator, made Rania snort angrily. The girl threw her phone into the side seat. Soon, the girl took her phone back. Put it on the dashboard of the car and look back to the front, waiting for the arrival of Alvaro who until now has not come.
