Lala had been in her village for a week.
During his time in the village, Lala became a prima donna. His work as a secretary in a large company to be able to build a nice 2-story stone house successfully changed the lives of his family and also equipped with a beautiful body face immediately make their neighbors who used to look down on them now vying to want him to be a daughter-in-law.
"Eh Lala, my goodness, you're getting more beautiful !" Sapa Bu Eni, one of their neighbors as they deliver the rice.
"Yes, thank you !" Lala smiled kindly.
"You have a boyfriend yet ? How about your mother apply for a mother's son !"
Instantly Lala and Ade looked at each other with horror gazes.
"Mother's son ?" Ask Lala.
"Nico"
DUARRRR
Lala was shocked to hear that. His son named Nico was a bully and liked to do troublemaking.
"Nico now works at bank X. He could be a husband. If you're ready Auntie will propose you soon !" That speech made Lala and Ade shake their heads together.
"Sorry Aunt, brother Andika has already betrothed brother Lala to the golden master of the village next door !" Said Ade hurriedly, Lala gaping to hear that.
After the goods were paid, Ade hurriedly pulled Lala's hand to leave Bu Eni, whose face became cynical because he was rejected.
"Amit-amit has a sister-in-law like Niko !" On the way home Ade spread his shoulders in horror.
"Lho, he hasn't changed ?"
"It's getting worse. Hiyy !"
"I mean ?"
"Now he is addicted to drugs and likes to play women. Working in the bank also he is lazy to go to work, he prefers obscure wandering with obscure girls !" Ade. Lala also shuddered to hear her sister's story.
"Who's the golden master of the village next door ?"
"I don't know, just say it !"
Both ngakak.
Another day a mother, who used to be a neighbor who never asked her to talk and did not even look at her, also followed Lala to be her daughter-in-law.
"Geez Lala, I don't know if you turned out to be smart to work in a big company. I'm proud to have a ghost like you. What about my son Madani ?" Ask Ms. Shela.
Lala and Ade looked at each other, Ade shook his head.
"Sorry Aunt, brother Andika is already married to Lala with the golden master of the village next door !" Ade again issued his final word making Bu Shela silent for a moment.
Because coming from a rich and noble family makes Madani arrogant, temperamental and selfish to be shunned by good girls. It was also what must have made Lala retreat regularly.
When he returned with Bu Ratna's order, the old woman did not want to lose.
"La, if you marry Bani, your life will always be prosperous because later his father's property will be passed on to him !" Said Ms. Ratna, Lala chuckled.
Bani who happened to come out and hear the words of her mother smiled meaningfully at Lala making Lala shiver.
He was married to a man like him. Not only because of heartache given the treatment of Bani who likes to mock her brother but also Bani did not hesitate to insult and disturb anyone who does not like her.
Lala has a husband like that.
"My son PNS, your old life will be guaranteed !"
"My son Army nominee surely you would be proud to have a husband like my son !"
"My son has acres of rice fields !"
My son is like this, my son is so and many more promising things that make Lala do not know what to answer.
If he is deep in his heart, the answer is a man named Evan Setyawan.
Since that time Lala never again take delivery of goods or she will always be offered a boy who is said to be handsome and well-established neighboring families. His sister also gawked to find out how popular his sister was.
After more than a week in the village Lala decided to return so that he could quickly find a job. He can not be in a long time unemployed especially now his sister asked for funding.
It's time for Lala to return. His brother gave a lot of cakes and fruits and other crops such as corn and yam. Want to give rice but Lala must have bothered to take it.
"Go home often !" Andika's message looked at her sister.
"Yes !"
"Don't be too tired, remember to always eat nutritious food !"
"Yes !"
"If there's anything directly call brother yes, then brother will meet you !"
"Yes, brother, yes. I am calm and always eat a lot. Hehehehe !"
"It's !" Ade thrust 3 boxes of bengbeng chocolate.
Andika and Rina look at each other as Ade bleats the stock in the store.
"Thank you !" Lala laughed accepting her sister's gift.
"Tante go home first yes, Aunt come again to play with the two of you !" Lala kissed the cheeks of her two nephews.
"Yes Aunty !" Answer both compact.
"Yes, brother, I'm back. Drug !" Lala boarded a rickshaw to be delivered to the terminal.
"Be careful !" Sister-in-law's message. Lala nodded.
Becak began to walk with another sad gaze, especially the brother who now had to be separated again from his sister. Lala's tears fell again as she moved away from her family, feeling like she still wanted to stay for a long time.
The bus that Lala was riding on had already entered the city, when it stopped at a red light many merchants entered the bus to peddle its wares, offering one passenger to another. When the newspaper seller entered Lala decided to buy several newspapers with various brands.
2 Hours of travel is enough to make Lala's body sore due to the bus that passes through the rocky road. In the very hot afternoon when he reached the atmosphere of the boarding house was very quiet it seemed that everyone was on the move outside.
Lala entered her room and painstakingly dragged the sack containing the produce from her brother, instantly laying down her body on the floor reducing her body a little tired.
After changing her clothes with casual clothes, Lala enjoyed the cake given by her brother while opening her newspaper looking for a page that showed job openings.
Hp counter guard vacancy.
Vacancy as a baby sitter.
Vacancy as a maid to guard the elderly.
Job vacancy in the workshop.
Job as a freelance sales agent.
Lala nodded at the vacancy, her eyes carefully looking from one job to another.
His view was immediately fixed on the vacancy with a big writing that a company engaged in the field of packaged food is looking for a new secretary.
Lala was immediately enthusiastic and read carefully what completeness she had to prepare.
When it was felt that the requirements requested Lala already had to attach Lala lying on her back, slowly her eyes stiffened and made her sleep.
The afternoon arrived when Lala woke up from her nap, sat for a while and then rose to the balcony, stretched her body and looked at the surrounding scenery.
Warung mang Ujang looks crowded by many women. If you pay close attention it turns out that behind the house mang Ujang a few meters back there are several rice fields and many coconut trees grow around it. The main thing is that is where Lala can stare at the ball of the sinking world without having to go far to make Lala fixated on the sight.
While being cool to enjoy the scene when a voice interrupts Lala's surprise.
"Love you too !" The 3 of them replied to Fajar's ignorant greeting the rest just smiled.
"Oh !" Dawn holding her chest.
"Eh, you're in yellow. You're like a sunset in the afternoon approaching beautiful twilight !" This time the temptation was on the beautiful girl who had just passed by. The girl only smiled as the handsome man teased her.
When a group of 5 Junior High girls passed by, he was grabbed too.
"Oh my goodness, you guys are beautiful like Korean idols !" He smiled a dirty smile.
"Sister, brother is also handsome. It's like a hammer !" After saying that, the five ran with a loud laugh at his friend's curse.
All who were in the mang Ujang stall laughed amusedly hearing that.
Lala held back a laugh at Fajar's gaping expression and decided to enter her room before the man realized her whereabouts. At that time Lala accidentally glanced next to him, she saw a girl named Tika was staring at Dawn with a difficult gaze to interpret.
Realizing the girl was jealous, Lala immediately entered her room and closed the balcony door.
After Maghrib, Lala decided to take a walk to the mall to buy a new phone. In addition to discarding her number Lala also decided not to use her phone anymore.
Entering the mall as soon as the taxi he was riding arrived, Lala immediately entered and looked for a sales counter. Buy what he thinks fits at an affordable price.
When walking out Lala's gaze was fixed on the accessories store and then entered the store, circling the entire shelf of goods that again reminded him of Evan. Deciding to buy a keychain for her room key, Lala came out to fill her stomach.
Sitting enjoying food alone while seeing the sight of kasmaran couples scattered everywhere.
"Oh, aaaaaaaa ?" Sejoli who sat in front of him wearing a couple jacket light blue with vertical lines greeting each other but the woman refused with a cute mimic.
"No, I'll get fat !" Her voice is so cute.
"Dear, if you don't eat, you'll get sick if you get sick, who will hurt me ?" With a worried look
HUEKKSS
Lala stared eneg at the couple.
"I will never hurt you, baby, because you mean so much to me !" Cute voice made-up makes Lala with all her might to hold back from spewing her food.
"If you eat it. Because you're the jewel of my heart I won't let you starve. Now aaaaaaaaaa !" The guy bribes the accepted girl with a carefree heart.
They seem to bribe each other in turn...
"REGIIIIIIIII !" A girl screamed at the couple.
"Who is he ?" His impact quickly approached the couple and pointed at the cute girl.
"I should ask who you are ? It's not polite to scream so !" Cute girl turned into a ferocious woman. Her cute nature disappeared without a trace.
"I'm Regi's fiance. Next month we want to get married. That's why I asked who you are ?" The new girl came still snapping.
"I'm his fiancee, next week he says he wants to go to my house to propose !" Cute girl does not want to lose back snapping.
The two girls argue to show what they mean to the guy named Regi and force the guy to explain the situation. All three have become the spectacle material of mall visitors.
The guy named Regi was dizzy to see his two girlfriends fighting.
"Have not fought. I promise I'll be fair to both of you !" His words made the two girls instantly speechless in disbelief hearing those words.
For a long time the two girls were silent...
PLAKKKKKC. Cute girl slaps her guy's right cheek hard.
"From now on we break up. I don't want to have a land crocodile girlfriend like you !" After saying that he took off his jacket and threw it into his girlfriend's face and immediately left the place.
"Dear me......!" The guy turned to the new girl came with a clear look but has not continued to be cut.
PLAKKKKKC. This time his left cheek was slapped by the new girl came making him hold the heat on both cheeks.
"I thought you were a good man. All this time you taught me good things for me sure that you are the right person so I want to accept you as you are even if you are just a grab driver. But you're not as good as you seem. You are a playboy. From now on don't ever see me again and don't call me again. Goodbye, we're breaking up !" The new girl came to take off her ring and put it on the table then ran away with tears.
The guy after being left sighed violently and squeezed his own hair wanted to go berserk but the situation was not right then he came running away ignoring the people watching him.
When you have something precious, be grateful, take care and love him then the longer he will be more beautiful but if you just think it is meaningless and look for the best then you will lose everything in a short time.
Lala's mind glared to find the positive value of the incident after it decided to go home.
The next day, Lala was well dressed to apply for a job.
Lala made a short stop to the copywriter to copy some important files to attach to his job application letter and buy the stamp.
Lala took a taxi to the office address. After arriving Lala gaping do not believe to see the sea of humans filled the office yard. The number is 2 times when applying to become a secretary Evan first.
Waiting for half a day Lala could finally submit her file and when the committee checked and felt complete she gave Lala a sequence number.
"Based on the sequence number, you can be interviewed in 5 days !" Her speech.
"Huh !" Lala screeched as she gawked while observing the sequence number 257.
"All right, thank you !" Lala left the place accompanied by the gaze of someone who was quite surprised to see Lala's presence.
*****
A week later, Evan was hospitalized and finally allowed to go home. As long as it was only Lala who always mastered the condition and his mind made him have to get extra attention. During his time in the hospital, his mother always fed him because if not then Evan would not eat.
Likewise Rizky, his arrival every day always pestered Evan with work, as much as possible to distract Evan to restore his spirit in work.
Quite successfully, now Evan has been seen back in shape despite his moody face.
Arriving at home, Cleo helped her towards the room and slowly helped her sit on the sofa. Evan's family decided to stay until Evan's condition was completely recovered.
"I'm healthy Cle !" Evan said as Cleo treated him like a sick person.
"Sorry !"
Evan pulled Cleo's arm to sit next to him. He looked at the woman and held her cheek.
"sorry. I hope you can be happy and meet a man who sincerely loves you !"
"Yank, we can't......!"
"Can't Cle. Excuse me. It's hard, Lala left with my feelings !"
Cleo cried as Evan said that. Evan grabbed Cleo's body and hugged her.
"Sorry Cle, I wish we could be like another couple who could love each other but it turns out I love someone else. I don't want to hurt you much longer. So please don't force yourself to stick with me !" Evan stroked Cleo's sobbing hair while tightly hugging Evan.
"Our relationship started with an arranged marriage and I once tried to love you and it worked. I planted the flower and it managed to grow beautifully but I forgot if the flower needed to be cared for, given water and fertilized and I ignored it until it withered and died !"
"Sorry Cle, I didn't take care of my feelings for you like a flower !"
"I'm sure there are men out there who can love you sincerely for who you are !"
Cleo further tightened her embrace and sobbed louder. Evan kept stroking her hair softly.
After sobbing for quite a while, Cleo let go of her embrace, looking at Evan with her puffy eyes.
"Alright, accept for the whole time. But what about papa ? I'm honestly afraid that you'll find out this !" Cleo's face was worried.
"We'll find the right time first and we'll tell our papa. Not now !" Evan said making Cleo nod.
The night was late with Cleo sleeping first. Evan raises the blanket to cover Cleo's neck preventing her from pouncing on the woman. If there were no parents, he would have slept in his study.
Evan exits the balcony, letting the night wind blow his body. Evan's gaze was fixed on his right hand, no longer his black ring made him feel completely lost.
"La, I'll find you no matter what and when it comes don't expect you to get away from me again !" Evan stared intently at the night sky.
