" Hear me for a second...! "
Alina said to Yoga, then looked at Erick for a while and then turned to Biqha. Alina hugged Biqha's shoulder, which was only her shoulder height.
" Prophetqha.... Aren't you tired of the people talking to you? Hear.... If you come with us now, people will see that we have closeness too. Their prejudices will change. Because they think I know you well too. Gradually they will also think, otherwise there may be an Affair between you. "
Alina's words again made Yoga and Erick in shock. While Biqha glanced at Yoga for a moment, then looked at Alina with a feeling of guilt. Then he turned to look at Erick as if asking for help, because he felt wrong.
" What do you mean Lin? "
Tanya Erick tried to break the tension that had just occurred to them.
" I'll explain it outside. Now we better get out of here. Too many pairs of eyes watching us here."
Erick, Yoga and Biqha instantly twisted their gaze. There were many employees who instantly turned their faces away, pretending not to pay attention. But whisper to each other as they pass. They finally followed Alina's advice.
Until at the parking lot their steps stopped, because Yoga who could not wait to know the meaning of Alina's words to Biqha.
" Now explain, what did you mean? And how do you know Biqha? "
" Dear, it's very hot here. Can't we just find a cooler, more relaxed place first? "
Alina replied with still acting, as if their relationship was fine and remained friendly. Yoga started to be rude to her.
" Enough Alin. Stop that cipher ! No one is watching us here anymore. So explain now ! And if your goal is just to look like you have some closeness to Biqha, I think that's enough. Even me and Erick...."
" Hey..... Calm down bro."
Erick embraced while patting Yoga's shoulders. While Biqha who had jerked, seeing the harsh words of Yoga on Alin, turned to look at Alin with sadness.
" Lo why the hell, sewot a laundromatannya. Anyway if you keep nagging, how does Alin want to clear up?! " sovereign.
Yoga instantly removes the face while taking a deep breath. Trying to calm his heart.
" Thank's Rick. I'm the only one who can remember him the most..... Lately I really can not understand the same emotions, which often suddenly explode unclear. " Alin complained while smiling blandly.
Yoga looked back at him. Alina understood the meaning of the gaze, and immediately she explained the incident a few minutes ago.
" Before I got to your room, I met Biqha. At that time I hit two employees who were gossiping. They even say inappropriate things about you. But he just kept quiet. It makes me very upset. "
Alina's explanation makes Yoga and Erick immediately look at Biqha. Biqha nodded her head at Erick, but not at Yoga.
" They make fun of Biqha as a bad woman. Because it is considered deliberately approaching you and seducing you, in order to work here and get coffers from you. They even dare to call you a hyper male, who has a fiancee like me but still wants to play around with a woman like Biqha. "
" WHAT...? "
Yoga's eyes were perfectly rounded, with a flash of indignable rage hearing Alina's explanation.
" Yes.... Isn't that so outrageous?! He could only cry, watching their conversation from the reflection of the shadow on the elevator door. But he chose silence and pretended not to know everything. Because they feel so tired of facing their prejudices. He almost cried when he apologized to me. "
" I'm sorry? ask Yoga.
" yes. He apologized to me for feeling bad. And convince me that there's no connection between you. He explained everything to me too. "
Yoga and Erick spontaneously returned to look at Biqha with curiosity. Biqha looked at them for a moment then looked down. His eyes are getting smelly.
" Bi, tell me who they are ! I'll teach them a lesson, because they dare to insult you" said Yoga firmly.
" BI...? "
" Biqhas. It is shortened to Bi. We called him that long ago. "
Erick explained to Alina. For fear that Alina misinterpreted the call, after hearing Alina question him.
" Oh.... Like a call to love to a couple. Bi from the word baby. "
" Bhughan. Bhukhan bheghithu. " (not. That's not.)
Even Biqha who had been silent, joined the voice, for fear that Alina would be suspicious of him. Biqha denied moving her hand. While Yoga can only grunt annoyed at not being able to do anything.
" Yes Bi.... I believe in you, I am also sure that Yoga will not betray me. Even if he didn't want me anymore, he wouldn't have chosen such a cowardly way. Isn't that right, baby? "
Alina's words made Yoga inflamed again. But he can't say anything. Instantly Erick and Yoga exchanged lyrics, before finally Yoga threw away the face with his regret. While Biqha looked down because of shame and guilt after being touched by Alina's speech. His eyes turned red and tears began to appear in his eyes.
" That's it. Forget about their vague talk. Now we better find some food. Because I'm so hungry. "
" Let's....!" answer Erick.
" Rick, we're coming with your car. My emotions are unstable right now, I won't be able to drive well. "
Yoga is not willing to let Erick and Biqha alone in the car. In addition, he also did not want Biqha to continue to misunderstand him and Alina.
" I can drive. Ah... but no. We better get one car, so I can get closer to Biqha. Come on.....! "
Alina immediately took Biqha's hand, and took her by the first time approaching Erick's car. Biqha could only glance at Erick and Yoga, desperately.
Alina chose to sit in the back with Biqha. On the way Alina always invites Biqha to chat.
" bi.... Tell me how they were in school. They must have been badung, right?! "
Biqha shook her head slowly.
" Ghak khok's. Mherhekha. " (Not really. They're good.)
" Akhs..... You are too kind-hearted Biqha. Or are you afraid to open their disgrace when High School first, because they are now your boss ? Come onl... Tell me about it ! They must have been naughty and did pranks during High School. "
Biqha again shook her head slowly, with a very awkward attitude. Erick noticed the discomfort Biqha felt. Through the windshield glass, Erick and Yoga quietly noticed Biqha. Erick and Biqha's eyes met through the small mirror.
Highlight Biqha's eyes as if hinting at asking Erick for help. While Erick was driving, his focus became split on Biqha. They looked at each other in the small mirror. Yoga that witnessed it, became increasingly emotional. But he still can't do anything.
" What about the boyfriend? Do you know how many of their exes were at Bi High School?
" We didn't have a boyfriend in High School. Although many girls have a crush on me, but I have no thoughts for dating."
" dh..... Very bad lu Rick. Songong again. Is that so Bi? Continues to.... How about Yoga, how many girls have ever been courted with him? "
Biqha was silent.
" There's no Alin......"
" One. Only one girl can conquer my heart. "
Answer Yoga quickly, with straight-forward eyes. Making Erick spontaneously glare at him for a flash, in shock with his confession. Then Erick switches on the windshield above his car windshield, trying to tell Biqha what Yoga just said in sign language. Biqha also rounded her eyes, instantly her body seemed to tremble with fear.
" Oya...? How long have you been in a relationship? "
" He didn't want to date before he graduated from college. So we were just friends until we got separated, because I had to go to college outside. "
Yoga speaks as his mind glares into those times. Erick panics himself with Yoga's confession. Especially after seeing Biqha who became frightened beside Alina.
" Wow.... She's a very principled girl. Or it could be that it's just an excuse for subtly rejecting you. "
" no. She's not that kind of girl. "
Angrily Yoga turned his face back, and replied firmly to Alina's last statement. Until Biqha can see clearly the motion of the lips Yoga. Biqha was getting more panicked, so it felt difficult to breathe beside Alina.
" I know exactly that he is, too......"
" Akhs..... Where are we going to eat? "
Erick quickly cut out the Yoga greeting, with a slightly toned tone. Yoga glared at him immediately. And Erick also had time to return his gaze sharply, before turning back to the streets in front.
" Oh.... Ja. We ate at a regular restaurant, Rick. I've booked a private room for us.
" Oh...."
Alina then fell silent. He saw one by one the people in the car. Lastly he looked at the fixated Biqha with his face down, and eyes reddened.
' So great is your friendship with them Rick. You also try so hard to cover up their lies. And you Biqha, should I feel sorry seeing you scared and feeling guilty like this? But I can't lie to my heart. My heart hurts Biqha.'
Although it felt like crying, but Alina tried hard to hold back her feelings.
" Biqha do you know who that girl is? "
Biqha looked up at Alina. Just being silent is unable to speak. Yoga looks really upset. As Yoga moved wanting to face back, Erick immediately pulled his arm and stared at him sharply.
" Already Alin.... Why talk about the past? The past let it pass. Right now you two are looking to shape the future. Focus on that. Many people say approaching the wedding day, the bride and groom will be more sensitive. So it is better to avoid discussions that will provoke a commotion like this. It's just the past, no need to talk about it anymore. "
Yoga glanced sharply with a flash of anger, his heart and mind completely unable to accept Erick's words just now. While Alina fell silent to the advice of Erick. Then Alina smiled and apologized to all of them.
The rest of the way to the restaurant, Alina finally changed the subject. Conversation with Biqha, discussing other women's hobbies and preferences.
Arriving at the restaurant, another surprise shocked the four of them. When the waiter opened the door of the private room, it turned out that there were already several people they knew.
" Mama papa? And.... Mami papi, how is she here? "
Alina asked with a look of surprise and a little anxiety, seeing both her parents and Yoga parents and two people from WO there. Yoga immediately glanced sharply at Alina. And moved his lips without making a sound.
' What the fuck is this ? '
Alina shook her head anxiously, staring at Erick, Biqha and Yoga in turn. While both Yoga parents were also a little surprised to see Erick and the girl next to him. Moreover, Papa Yoga who already knows who the girl is. His eyes immediately stared at Biqha, Erick, and Yoga.
Biqha felt shivering and did not dare to raise her face, with a sharp intimidating look that Papa Adi directed at her. By itself Biqha's hand is raised, squeezing the inside of Erick's shirt sleeve. Sensing Biqha's slightly trembling hand touch, Erick alone tightened his arm on the body. Stabbed Biqha's trembling hands.
Although it was only one small movement, it meant a lot to Biqha. Who had felt the pressure from the situation cornered him. It was as if Erick's movements were hinting that he said 'Be calm Bi..... I'm right here.'
" Mama papa and papi mami why are you here? " Task Alina again.
" We thought why not all of you, we had lunch together while discussing the concept of marriage that they have prepared for you" replied Alina.
" Yes dear. After this we just went to bridal boutique, to see the design of the wedding dress that you will choose." added Mama Hani.
" How did you know we were coming here? "
" Of course we know. This is your favorite restaurant. And your habit must be to order a private room first before you get here." explained mami again.
" How are you Ericko? It's been a long time since we've met."
Suddenly, Alina greeted Erick who had made her focus wrong.
" Alhamdulillah good om. "
" Akh Ricko's. And.... What is this beautiful girl? " ask mama Hani kindly.
There was a sudden glimmer of hope that warmed Yoga's heart, hearing the mother praise Biqha.
" This is Nabiqha ma, their High School student. Mama doesn't know? "
Alina's words instantly made Mama Hani's expression turn 180 degrees. The friendly smile that burst out instantly vanished.
" a.... Prophetqha.... Azzahra...? "
Seeing this increasingly ambiguous situation, Erick chose to take action to avoid.
" I'm Sorry Everyone..... Alin, we'd better eat somewhere else. You guys want to talk about marriage. So..."
" ah.... Sorry, Rick.... Biqhas. Next time I'll practice you guys, okay...? "
" It's ok Lin....."
" Why not just eat together here? You guys have arrived here, why look for another place again" said Mami Alina.
