Loving You for Being Ordinary
Choosing a Gift

"Maomi!" Even daydreaming, Elma's question had not even been answered. "How do you feel about her?"

"I'm not sure yet, brother. I'm used to all the attention he gives me. But love, have I fallen in love, I'm not sure."

"Because I once imagined that Mas Alvi would do the same as Mas Dafin." Navya chuckled, laughing at herself. "I'm so silly, brother, maybe because I once loved someone and I finally willingly let go of him for another woman. Doesn't loving mean I have to try to defend. So how exactly do you love your brother, I'm still not sure."

Elma clasped Navya's hand on the table. Give confidence and strengthen the girl. "Vy, not all men are the same. After all, the situation with your ex-husband is different from now. You were together because you had to, um. But maybe Mr. Alvian is different, since long ago he has loved you. He is even willing to wait for you. So make sure she won't let you down."

"Maybe big brother was right, but I still can't convince my heart. If one day Mas Alvi ends up finding someone better than me, I will have no regrets. He deserves it."

"And are you willing to let go of the one you love for someone else?"

"Loving someone is not just having to be together, seeing him happy is also a way of loving you."

Elma smiling. Indirectly Navya admits that she already loves Alvi.

"I'll pick you up." Phone call from Alvi. Navya was happy, but she was stubborn. It has been determined to stay away from Alvi.

"I have an extra class. Go home first."

"I'll wait for you in the parking lot."

"No, I'll go home with Elma later."

"All right, you be careful."

Navya hangs up the phone first before Alvi disconnects the call. That afternoon the man sent a message, asking if Navya had eaten or not. But he only answered that.

A few days already Navya did unusual things just to avoid meeting with Alvi. Like going to campus early before Alvi comes home. Says she'll be home late if Alvi wants to pick her up. Pretend to be asleep if Alvi comes to see him. But the man never gets upset, he's quite understanding of Navya. Still texting, calling when Navya is out of class or at lunchtime. Still giving his attention.

This weekend forced Navya to stay home. Elma says that she has a need so Navya has no friends to go out to just avoid Alvi, surely the man will come to spend the whole day with his grandparents. Inevitably Navya has to meet him today.

Navya goes downstairs to help prepare breakfast with Neni. Still quiet. Neni is also not in the kitchen, sir Hendra moreover, not visible. There were only a few servants cleaning the house and bodyguards in front.

"Who are you looking for?" Navya is shocked when from behind her Alvi appears. Closed his eyes and turned to face Alvi. The man was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with shorts, and a small towel around his neck. Her hair was drizzling and her body was sweating indicating she had just finished exercising.

His arm is exposed, Navya has seen him once when Alvi is injured after helping himself who was almost hit by a beam on the project. A burly arm that repeatedly once saved Navya, a field chest that she had several times accidentally hugged.

The sight in front of him stunned Navya a little, but once again Alvi's voice shocked her.

"You looking for Neni?"

"That, hmmm... Why so quiet. Grandma's not visible either." Dazzlingly.

"Grandmother and grandpa had a sudden business, they left last night. Maybe after you go in the room and sleep."

"Then Mas Alvi?"

"Sorry, I stayed here last night. Because grandma hurriedly went to take Neni and Pak Hendra as well. I'm worried that you're home alone."

Navya smiles. Why even apologize, Alvi is free to come at any time. The house is his. After all he was not alone either, although there were no Neni and Mr. Hendra, but there were still two servants and bodyguards in front.

"Why should I apologize, this is Mas' house."

"Let's have breakfast together, I'll change first."

Inevitably Navya could not resist this time. But he must prepare an answer if Alvi asks about Navya's changing attitude all along. She nodded then walked towards the dining table while Alvi walked into her room.

The service offers to make breakfast, but Navya refuses. Navya will make it herself. Navya decides to make a sandwich, an omelet, and fruit juice for breakfast for her and Alvi.

It was all done when Alvi came out of her room. "Let's eat it." Alvi nodded and sat down in her chair. By the way they were like a couple enjoying breakfast. But there is no visible affection.

They just eat their food in silence. Navya glanced at Alvi at a glance, why suddenly Alvi did not say much. Usually he will open the conversation first.

Just realized Alvi was wearing semi-formal clothes. If the day is usually he will wear a full suit, because it will go to the office. But this time he was wearing a shirt with no tie, and in a blazer with no buttons. If only at home, you do not need to wear clothes that good.

"Mas want to get out?"

Alvi turned her gaze to Navya. "Yes?"

"Oh, there's something I want to buy for my birthday friend. If you don't mind I want you to come along and help me choose.

"But I...."

"I beg you, this time." Alvi pleaded, Navya difficult to refuse if he had faced Alvi directly. Hence he preferred to avoid Alvi before meeting her, as the man's eyes seemed to hypnotize her.

Navya finally relented, this time only. It is not good to continue to refuse. "All right, but I'll change first."

"I'll wait."

***

Not long after, Navya got down and prepared to leave with Alvi. They're headed for a luxury shopping mall.

"Friends Mas the birthday of a man or a woman?"

"Men and Women. The man was my business partner almost fifty years old. The other one is a young woman."

Navya was curious, a woman. Wh who? Hasn't Alvi ever had a girlfriend. But Navya did not dare to ask who, shouldn't she be happy if the woman was a special friend. Trying not to take a dizzy for whom Alvi bought the Gift.

They went into a jewelry store. Navya was very enthusiastic, she could see a wide variety of models and forms of jewelry. Having a gallery like this was his dream, one day he would realize such a wish.

Navya finally chose a tie clamp made of white gold decorated with three small diamonds at the end. As well as a luxury watch that has been ordered by Alvi before. Both gifts were for Alvi's business partner.

Now Navya is choosing a watch for Alvi's gift to one of her other friends, a woman. There was something stabbing in Navya's heart, but she didn't care. Tightly mixed with curiosity, Who exactly will Alvi give this gift. But he kept calm and pretended not to care.

After buying the gift, Alvi stopped by the office. There are some things to do. Someone called and waited for him at the office, there's a file that needs to be signed immediately. It's the first time Navya has gone to Mahendra Group's central building. Not much different from what they have in their country. The towering luxury building. It says Mahendra at the top.

Navya gets out of the car and follows Alvi in front of her. As you know, Alvi in working mode will always be serious and assertive. Get in the elevator, get on the highest floor of the building. Ryan had already greeted them as he exited the special elevator.

He bowed and greeted Navya with a brief smile. Ryan opens the door for Alvi and Navya to enter his room.

"Take him into my room."

"Good Sir."

Ryan closed the door slowly when Navya and Alvi had entered the President's room.

"Sit down..." Navya sat on the sofa that Alvi pointed at. "I won't be long, you don't mind, do you?"

"Not really." Navya looked around her, the room was almost as big as Alvi's room when Navya was her secretary. But just as comfortable, the fragrance and the impression of luxury are not much different.

Chequek.

Door opens. A beautiful woman went inside, wave-haired with glasses perched on her nose, giving off a clever impression. Beautiful, elegant and keep it firmly visible from the way she walks. He was kind of surprised I actually had Navya in Alvi's room.

Then his gaze turned to Alvi who was already sitting behind his desk. Alvi nodded, she interpreted as a gesture Alvi told her to come closer immediately.

Navya noticed, the girl resembled someone. But Navya doesn't remember who. But the girl's eyes despite wearing glasses, Navya like no stranger to her.

He did not sit in front of the work desk, but instead stood next to Alvi while explaining something on the laptop that was on Alvi's desk. Navya noticed their closeness. Although only limited to discussing work, but Alvi was never that close to a woman. Except himself.

Navya shook her head slowly, then shifted her gaze. Picking up the phone and playing it, just scrolling the screen up and down. His attention was still not diverted as well from the two people in front of him. Sometimes he glanced.

Alvi gave a smile, knowing Navya was secretly watching herself and the woman next to her. A few minutes later they finished discussing the work, Alvi signed the file the girl had brought. As she was about to say goodbye to Alvi, the man prevented her.

Alvi walked towards the sofa where Navya was sitting. Picking up a bag Navya knew was the woman's watch they had bought.

"It's for you." Put the bag to her. The girl was surprised, glancing at Navya.

"This is what, sir?"

"For you."

As if knowing the contents then the girl refused. "No need to...."

"Take it. It's a gift from me." Alvi cut her words. Makes him unable to refuse. Finally took a bag of ayang at Alvi's thrust, thanked him and looked down at Alvi and Navya at a glance and out of the room.
