Love The Bule
Chemistry Tina and Jhon

"For so long, Gus?”

Alif pulled Al to talk on the porch.

“My car broke, Lif,” replied Al.

“Ck, Late Gus.”

“What's the look?” al was confused.

“You are, late. The bule had already asked Bira,” replied Alif who had since become a listener in the living room to give a message to his best friend.

Al looked silent.

“You're late again, Gus. Two years ago, you were late until Shabira left. Now, you're late too.”

Al breathed in rough. I don't know why it feels like to be paired with the youngest daughter Kiyai Uthman this one is very difficult, even though both parents are close, even they have been betrothed. Al had liked Tina since first sight, since Al was still a favorite santri of Tina's father. Al was always happy if asked for help by Uthman let alone asked to come to his house, so that he could meet with Tina. While Tina, from the beginning only considers Al as an older brother, just like Alif.

Alif patted his best friend's shoulder. “Abi is selecting the bule. Just pray, Abi will reject her proposal.”

Al nodded, he followed Alif's steps back into the house of Uthman.

“So the system project in your boarding house was done by the company now in the hands of Nak Jhon?”

Mustofa nodded when asked by friends and prospective besan. “Ya.”

Uthman looked towards Jhon. He thought for a moment and seemed to be weighing something.

“What does Abi think?” asked Hasna whispered.

Uthman. He did not answer the wife's question.

“Oh, yes Gus. Actually I'm here, there's something I want to talk about.” Mustofa again spoke, this time not talking about K-Net corporate, a system company that facilitates educational performance in its boarding school. However, Mustofa began to talk about the relationship of their daughter's son, a relationship that would bring the two men to besan.

“Because Tina has returned home, we can continue the matchmaking two years ago which was delayed,” Mustofa said again.

Uthman already knew the arrival of his best friend tonight.he believes the arrival of Mustofa not necessarily to berkilaturahim only, but there are other intentions and in fact Uthman also wants to continue the intention that delayed it, but Jhon made the atmosphere not easy. The presence of Jhon who had asked Tina first from Al, made Uthman must be fair. Uthman understood very well that receiving two sermons at a time was not justified.

“Panjengan late, Gus. Someone has proposed to Bira,” said Uthman.

“Who?” ask Mustofa surprised

“This time, Boss Bira.” Ustman pointed towards Jhon and Jhon immediately nodded his mark confirming the word.

Mustofa Semkin was surprised, while Randy who did know Tina a little in Jakarta, did not feel surprised. Al was not surprised because he had received information first from Alif earlier.

“Sorry, Bi. We arrived late because the car tyre I was carrying, leaked,” Al chirped.

“Yes, maybe it is like this the way,” Utman said with a glance towards Jhon who already looks happy.

“Then, our arrival wasted – sia?” ask Mustofa's wife who is none other than Al's mother.

“Nothing is in vain –, Nyai. Establishing that friendship will extend life,” replied Hasna.

Al and Randy's mother, Fatimah, was silent with her face bent.

“Loh, piye anyway, Gus? Fate Al hanged again,” chirped Mustofa by looking towards his son.

Uthman looked at Jhon. “You are ready with the terms that Abi will submit?”

“Siap, Bi.”

“You sure?” ask Uthman again.

Jhon nodded back. “Thousand percent, Bi.”

Hasna smiled, as did arafaah. Arafah pressed his hand on the younger brother. Jhon does look gentle, to be able to hypnotize Hasna and Arafah.

“Alright, tomorrow morning Abi will say the first terms you have to do.”

Chief Jhon nodded again. This time his nod was accompanied by a fluffy smile.

“Aji,” call Uthman on the assistant and driver who always accompany him anywhere.

Aji's wife, Munah, also works for the Ustman family. Munah helps Hasna at home by becoming a domestic assistant. But either Ustman or Hasna already considered Aji and his wife as family, so they were very close. Hasna never treated Munah like a maid.

“Ya, Yai.” Aji went straight to Uthman.

“Bring Nak Jhon to guest room.”

Aji immediately interrupted. “Good, Yai.”

“Abi, Alif also mas all pamit.”

At dinner, Alif had expressed his wish that he would return to Surabaya tonight.

“You so go home tonight, Fah?” hasna asked her daughter who was right next to her.

“Iya, Ummi.”

“Not tomorrow morning, Lif? It's night now,” Uthman told his son-in-law.

“If the night is even quieter, Bi. Runs smoother.”

“Fah, just stay overnight again,” Hasna told her daughter.

“Arafah depends Mas Alif, Ummi. Arafah can drive, so it depends on the driver. Arafah glanced at her husband.

“Part of women do not need to be able to drive,” Alif said.

“But, Bira can drive, Mas. Cool loh.”

“Indeed you can drive, Nduk?” ask Hasna to Tina.

Tina immediately flinched, like confused. “Ah, Yes Ummi.”

“Who taught you?” ask Uthman. “Not you learn motor alone fear.”

The direction of Tina's eyes turned to Jhon. Then, Uthman followed the direction of the princess' eyes. Uthman already felt that the two did have a previous relationship.

“What Nak Jhon taught you to drive?” ask Uthman.

Tina was silent for a moment and nodded.

The chemistry between Tina and Jhon is obvious. Even Mustofa can feel it. And again – again this makes Al feel defeated. he has lost a lot of start. And next to Al, Randy could only gently stroke her brother's back.
