"Sean, I'm sorry. I still can't go back. Maybe my vacation will be extended for a few more days" Erlan told Sean, his personal assistant by phone.
Sean frowned both of his eyebrows. This is the first time Erlan has been so happy to enjoy her holiday. Erlan is a man who loves his job. Even the man had never taken a leave of absence for this long.
"Good, Sir. Of course," Sean replied.
Sean was actually very curious, what made the man feel at home living in his older sister's city. Usually three days he was in that place. Although curious, but Sean did not dare to question it any further to Erlan.
After deciding on his call with Sean, Erlan immediately put the phone into his pants pocket. He got up from his seat and rushed out of the room.
Because so curious about the figure of Alina, Erlan was willing to wake up early in the morning. After performing her morning rituals such as making the bed, bathing and dressing neatly, she was prepared to visit Alina's residence.
Yes, today Erlan's schedule is to visit Alina's residence and then take part in peddling rice made by the girl around the village. That was if Alina allowed herself to do that.
"Erlan, the tumben is neat. Uh, you didn't come home today, did you?" sapa Rara is helping the waitress prepare breakfast for her small family. The woman was confused to see Erlan who already looked neat.
"No, Brother. I don't want to go home yet even the plan is I want to extend my vacation for two or three more days. That's also if you don't mind me being here" said Erlan with a sweet smile.
Rara chuckled softly at Erlan's words. Not only Rara, even her husband also smiled to hear her.
"Back, Lan. Usually even you who do not feel at home stay here for long," seduced Abhimanyu Kusumah, husband Rara (Brother of Ipar Erlan).
"Well, Brother just wanted to say that. We don't have a problem, Lan. On the contrary, we are happy that you are here. Isn't that right, Daddy?" keep Rara.
"Yes, right." Abhimanyu nodded slowly.
"Yes, already. I say yes, brother. There's something I have to do today" Erlan said as she stepped on her foot.
"Loh, you know, you're not having breakfast, Lan?!" peekik Rara's.
"I have breakfast outside, brother. It's too late." Without turning a single look, Erlan stepped foot into the front yard of Rara's house, where her car was parked.
"Eh, that kid! She said late, where is she going, anyway?" muttered Rara while sitting in one of the chairs, joined Arsilla and her husband who had started their breakfast in the room.
"Silla knows, Mom, where Om Erlan is going" said Arsilla with a big smile and with enlarged eyes staring at the Mommy.
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! But, don't say yes, Mom!" With a serious face Arsilla looked at Mommy and Daddy alternately.
Rara and Abhimanyu looked at each other then laughed softly at the expression of the little boy. "Alright, alright. Mommy and Daddy won't tell anyone. Where's Erlan going, anyway? Don't make Mommy and Daddy curious donk, Silla."
"To Kak Alina's place, the beautiful sister of the rice vendor, Mom!" Again Arsilla rounded her eyes when she told it to her parents.
Rara knitted her eyebrows together, and so did Abhimanyu. Between believing and not believing in Arsilla's words at that time.
"Alina who the hell, Mom?" asked Abhimanyu to the Wife who was still silent with a confused face.
"Alina, the rice-slinging girl who saved Arsilla yesterday, Dad. But, is that true?"
"True donk, Mom! Silla's not lying. Om Erlan himself who told Silla that Om Erlan wanted to help Kak Alina sell rice. Well, Silla's mouth is naughty, huh! Even though Silla has promised Om Erlan will not tell anyone about this problem, including Mommy and Daddy," continued Arsilla while patting her lips softly.
Rara paused for a moment and saw the woman thinking. The look on his face was a little different than before.
Meanwhile, Erlan continued to drive her car towards Alina's residence. Until a while later, he arrived in front of Alina's house whose door was still tightly closed.
Without Erlan noticing, the julid neighbors had been busy peering at him while chattering ria with their neighbors from a distance.
"Eh, should we just kick that girl out of our village? If we continue to be left like this, we may all have to be unlucky!" chirps one of the mothers who often spread rumors about Alina.
"H, Mom's right! Besides, it's disgusting to see that girl change such a guy. Fear our daughter even follow along like her again," continued the others.
"Alright then, we gather together the citizens first and talk about this matter. If everyone agrees, then we'll get rid of him!"
Htc .. tok ..tok ....
Alina, who was tidying up the arrangement of rice sitting in a basket, was shocked after hearing a knock on her front door.
"Who's knocking on the door, huh?" muttered Alina while thinking. There was a sense of anxiety in his heart because after Bu Nadia died, there was not a single villager who would visit him.
