Loving You for Being Ordinary
Talk With Elma

Navya goes back down, she joins Alvi as well as her grandparents at the dinner table. He smiled, as if nothing had happened in his heart. Pretend that he just got off because he woke up late.

"It looks like you want to get used to being the host. To the extent that we have to wait for you for breakfast."

Grandfather spoke without seeing Navya who was still standing next to Rima. The girl had just greeted all the dining table residents, not yet sitting in her chair.

"Sorry Mother."

"Maybe Navya was tired, because last night she was doing errands late." Alvian is pleading.

Navya was still downcast accepting what grandfather said. The misunderstanding proves that they did not realize that Navya had gone down. Even hearing what they're talking about.

"That's it. We're not just starting breakfast either. Here baby, sit next to grandma." Rima patted the empty chair next to her. It was Navya, then she pulled out a chair and sat down beside Rima.

Alvi looked at the girl in silence. Navya looks moody. But still trying to cover her mood in front of Grandma. Alvi watched Navya while continuing to eat her morning breakfast.

Bidding farewell to Grandpa and Grandma, Alvi then deliver Navya to the campus. On the way, the girl was silent. Answer or smile only if Alvi asks and says something. Responding accordingly. Then he'll shut up again.

Arrive at the campus parking lot.

"Thank you for sending me."

Alvi frowning. "Do you have to say that until you say thank you."

"Sorry." Navya smiled, but her eyes could not hide her sadness. Alvi holds her hand when Navya is about to open the car door. Makes the girl look at him.

"What are you thinking?"

Navya. How Alvi knew she was thinking something.

Navya smiled again, covering up her heartbreak. "I, nothing."

"Navya, your eyes can't lie to me." Navya chuckled, Alvi is so sensitive with her feelings. A long time ago, when he had not realized that Alvi put his heart on him. It made her heart warm, the man who still held her hand was so concerned for her. But then again, grandfather's words awakened him. Alvi deserves a better girl than her.

"Thank you, I care about you. But I'm right it's okay. Just tired, last night I was doing the chores I had to put together this morning."

"You sure?" Nodding convinced Alvi. Slowly break away from the man's hand. "I went to college." This time he grabbed Alvi's hand, to kiss her. Like a wife saying goodbye to her husband. Making a wide smile as bright as the sun on Alvi's face, until he did not realize Navya had gotten out of his car and walked with Elma who had been there sometime.

Alvi sees the girl until she goes missing behind the main door of the tall building where Navya was studying. He then started the car engine and exited the campus area to the central building Mahendra Group established in the city.

Actually, it's still two hours that Navya's class is about to start. He had only an appointment with Elma and two friends to discuss group assignments from his lecturer. They chose the park behind the campus to discuss. In addition to not so crowded, there are some comfortable places that are often used to study or just relax by students after being tired of attending college.

Even Elma could see the face of Navya's spirit. There were no fresh ideas that he used to pour into their discussions. Finally Elma ended their discussion, because Navya looked moody and more silent.

"Drink." Elma thrust out a glass of iced chocolate in front of Navya. Chocolate will usually make the mood a little more comfortable.

"Thank you brother." Grabbing a glass from Elma's hand. The girl sat in front of Navya.

"Is there a problem?" Navya looked at Elma. "It's not that you want to interfere, but you can trust me if something weighs on your mind."

Navya sighed. Right, maybe by talking to someone he can make his heart relieved. Besides Elma, even though she's only known him for a month, she's a good girl. He even only has Navya as a close friend. He is always with Navya everywhere and always willing to be bothered when Navya asks for his help.

"Do you know Alvian Zander Mahendra or Sultan Mahendra?"

He then changed his facial expression, realizing Navya was still moody and did not respond to his chatter. "Why with them?" Elma returns to Navya.

"The house I live in belongs to them." Elma was surprised, that meant the place she had been living in for a month.

"So the one who's been sending you flowers every morning is....." Navya replied with a nod.

"Mas Alvi likes me sister. Alvian Mahendra's. Mahendra's heir."

Elma looks amazed by Navya's confession. "Then what's the problem? That means you'll be Mahendra's mistress if you accept." Elma seduces Navya.

"It's not that simple, brother. Mahendra's family has one more grandson, the son of their daughter. Cousin Mas Alvi." Elma is confused as to what she has to do with her cousin.

"I'm the ex-wife of her cousin sister."

***

Revolve Navya's past stories. From his encounter with Alvi, the relationship between him and Dafin. Until what he heard this morning from the talk of their grandparents and favorite grandchildren.

Elma was concerned about Navya's story. During this month Navya just said she was helped a lot by Alvi. Without explaining the details of their relationship. So just think Alvi is Navya's lover.

"You won't know before you try. There's nothing wrong with giving your own heart a chance to take it."

"At first, I established my heart. After our togetherness yesterday I decided to open my heart even though he always said he did not want me to accept it just because of his kindness. But I think there's no harm, over time I'll probably be able to love him. And after my college days are over, we can be more serious about our relationship.

But Grandpa's words have a point, I'm so confident, consider myself highly. To the extent that I intend to stretch the time so that he waits for me to finish college, just take his feelings seriously. I forget my status, who I am, even if I greet his outstretched hand early, he'll have trouble with people's gossip."

Indeed, who dares to gossip President Mahendra Group. Inner Elma.

"But he never cares about your status. If that is a consideration, there should be many girls who are higher in social status than you. Even she's always there for you even if you're the widow of her cousin's sister."

"I know, brother, maybe he'll not care about people talking. But I, I don't just ignore. I'm next to him gonna make his life uncomfortable."

"So how, what are you going to do now?"

"I want to stay away from you."

"But he came here to be close to you."

"I know, brother, I'll try to stay away. Reduced the intensity of our meeting."

"He's also busy working, I'll also busy myself with the lecture activities."

"Navya, wouldn't that hurt her? He's done anything for your happiness."

"But I did this for the good of Mas Alvi brother. For his happiness and his family. I don't deserve all his attention and love."

"You love her?"

Navya. I don't know, that's what she's still worried about with her heart. He was happy when Alvi was nearby. Alvi gave her attention. Will feel there is less when the man is late to give news or if Alvi did not have time to contact him via video call. Because just like Alvi felt, lately the man's face will be a tired medicine for Navya. After seeing Alvi, he would be able to sleep soundly. He was already used to Alvi and his attention.
