Only Raised Children
13. The man in Alina's Contract

The next day after finishing breakfast with his family, Rico said goodbye to go to the office. The time is still very early in the morning makes Irfan and Santi a little surprised because not usually Rico go to the office at this hour if there is no important work. And as Irfan recalled, there was no meeting of any kind this early.

"Why did it go so fast, Bang? Is there a very important job?" ask Santi.

"Nothing, Ma. Rico just wanted to take Alina to campus, so after that Rico went to the office" said Rico.

He promised to take his girlfriend to college today. Although Alina said she did not want to bother him, she still wanted to do the little thing. The busyness that they both have makes Rico have to take the initiative to take time during his busy time to meet the beautiful woman, even if only briefly.

Santi who heard the words of his son smiled. Before she had never seen her son behave this sweet with any woman but her. It looks like Rico loves Alina so much that he is willing to take his time just to take the woman to her campus. Though the location of Alina campus is farther than the office where she works if measured from her home.

"Yes, be careful, Bang. Greetings to Alina" said Santi.

Rico confirmed his mother's words and after saying goodbye to his parents, Rico soon passed from there.

Upon arriving at Alina's contract, Rico got out of the car and was about to approach the woman's house. The number of residents who were shopping from a traveling vegetable maker made Rico have to greet him first. The greeting from her sweet smile was greeted warmly by the surrounding residents, but after she walked away, her ears suddenly accidentally heard a group of mothers there talking by saying the name of Alina.

"Morning of college, work nights, almost every day a lot of rich men come. Who the hell is Alina?"

"He said he was just a farmer's son."

"Who are those guys then? Everything looks rich in his fancy car, including this guy."

"I don't know, all the men who visited her rented a mask on the same hat all, so can't see her face."

"Yes, I'm surprised."

"But this one doesn't wear a mask. Is this the same guy?"

"It seems not deh, because the shape of his body is different even though the yesterday-yesterday is also good body."

Although not so clear but, Rico could still hear the conversation because he slowed down the pace of his path. The guy in the mask and the hat? What do the residents mean by mentioning the characteristics of the mysterious man he had seen? Did Alina take the man to her contract as well? But isn't that man his brother? If the mysterious man is really his brother, then it doesn't matter, does it?

So many questions in Rico's head about the mothers' conversations there. But he tried to stay calm and did not want to think negatively to his girlfriend. He was certain that the mysterious man was indeed Alina's brother. And they purposely visited Alina to see the state of her brother in the city of the region.

Rico is still trying to think positively about his girlfriend. But the words of the mothers there again revolved in his head about if all the men who came using a luxury car and impressed like a rich man.

"Not everyone in the village is poor, Rico. Come on, a lot of farmers who are struggling with wealth. Don't look down on the farmers" he told himself.

Again Rico had to put aside his negative thoughts because he believed that Alina could not do anything bad by bringing men to his house.

Tookk…

The door of the house was knocked by Rico after he got there. And before long the door opened and appeared the figure of an Alina from inside there with a graceful appearance. Short dress with a little pattern on the chest looks very suitable in his body.

Yes, although Rico himself knows if all the clothes will look suitable and luxurious if it is in the body of the beautiful woman.

"You have come" said Alina.

"You go to college dressed like this?" asked Rico in disbelief.

Although he likes the appearance of his girlfriend like this, but this is too sexy according to him. Especially if it is used to go to college.

"of course. Wh why? Is it inappropriate in my body?" ask Alina.

"Very fast. But this is too sexy, honey. Are there no clothes that are more covered?"

Alina looked at her body for a moment. Is this too sexy?

"At least try to wear pants that are a little long. I don't like it when other men see your curves."

"Long pants?"

Alina looks doubtful at Rico's request. Does it fit if the dress is combined with trousers? It seems not, because this knee-length dress is not suitable if combined with pants. But even so he just agreed to Rico's words and went back into his house to change his appearance.

He used to wear clothes like that. But how else, he knew that Rico was jealous of his clothes, so he complied while what Rico asked for was a good thing.

Alina sighed, I don't know why she was following the man's words.

It took almost 10 minutes for Alina to change her appearance, now the woman has returned and Rico smiles when he sees her wearing a knee-length jens in the same dress.

"What fits?" alina asked while watching her appearance.

"Whatever you wear will suit you" said Rico honestly.

Indeed, any style used by Alina will always be suitable. As of right now, Alina perfectly matched her appearance which perhaps if used on the body of another woman would look strange. How not strange, the dress that looks very feminine knee-length was combined with a jens that is ten centi below it. And amazingly, Alina actually looks good when wearing it.

"Kok I feel weird huh," Alina said with a little bit of disbelief. He was actually just a fad about wearing those pants, but who would have thought that Rico would like it.

"Nothing is strange. Let's go, you'll be late."

Alina puts her shoulders together and agrees with Rico. He must be confident with his appearance, Rico is unlikely to lie and deliberately embarrass him. After locking the door of his house, Alina and Rico immediately walked towards Rico's car parked on the side of the road.

Rico drove his car slowly and unbeknownst to Alina, secretly Rico glanced at the rearview mirror inside and outside the car alternately. There he again saw mothers who were like talking, with their eyes occasionally glancing towards his car. Rico sighed softly, though he tried to think positively, but his heart could not be lied to. She felt that the mothers there were talking about Alina again.

Alina who saw Rico sighed as if something was being thought of, then rebuked him.

"Why, Co?"

Rico stared at Alina for a moment, then he smiled to cover up his feelings.

"No papa, honey. Oh yeah, what time are you going to college and where are you going?" ask Rico to divert.

"Hour 2 may be over and going nowhere. Why?"

"I want to take you to lunch. We're going to lunch with Andi and Rena."

"Sorry yes, honey, it looks like this afternoon I'm going to take a break. What if tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? Later I asked Andi first yes," said Rico and immediately agreed Alina.

And the next day, as promised to Rico. After college Alina immediately prepares to go lunch with her boyfriend and Andi and Renata. Before Rico came to pick her up, Alina slightly polished her face with thin make-up to avoid looking pale. Feeling perfect, she immediately went from her little dresser to the living room sofa. But just sitting his body on the sofa, the sound of the car he believed belonged to Rico has been heard.

Alina got back up from her seat and without intending to waste any more time, she immediately grabbed her sling bag to leave immediately.

"It's really pretty. We just want to lunch, Al," said Rico when Alina just sat next to him.

"That's very lebay. I only wear jeans and doang t-shirts," said Alina with surprise.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. You'll always look beautiful every second."

Instantly Alina was speechless embarrassed to hear Rico's reckless chattering. Not even a minute sitting beside him, the man had already let out his fist. Alina shook her head with a smile that was still vividly painted on her face.

"Co, I was suddenly full when I heard your chatter. Did we just undo the lunch?" alina was joking.

"One more chatter you're full, what if I get pregnant every day when we're married?"

Alina's face was now flushed to hear another flurry from Rico. The man why likes to make him wrong with his crisp words. He became suspicious, Rico must have learned a lot of racing from Andi. In fact, his friend was very good at seducing women before being with Rena.

"Will I have a fight?"

Rico chuckled at Alina's embarrassed expression mixed with annoyance.

"Yes-yes, sorry. Let's go."

Rico refocused on his drive at a moderate pace. Not until half an hour they have now arrived at one of the five-star restaurants in the city center. The restaurant was chosen by Renata because according to him, the food there is very good, according to his taste.

Alina and Rico went in and were greeted by the waiter as soon as they entered the restaurant. They were escorted to a table that had been ordered so that the name of Rena who was the one who reserved.

From a distance look Rena and Andi who have been sitting sweetly waiting for his arrival. They throw smiles at each other as a greeting from afar.

One month ago Andi and Renata made peace with the situation. In accordance with the words of Rico and his negotiations with Andi, Rena decided to stay away from her boyfriend because she did not want if Andi did the same. Because it is impossible for Andi to stay away from Alina given how and to what extent their friendship is, so Rena is forced to try to trust Andi with her closeness with Alina. He also promises to keep his jealousy towards Alina and trust the man he loves.

But it's not fair that only Rena promised. At that time Rena also asked Andi not to travel with Alina if only alone. Andi immediately agreed with Rena's words because she realized that they must both improve themselves to reduce misunderstandings and arguments.

The great love of each of the two men is also what makes them easily promise each other.

"Hey, are we late?" rico asked them at the table.

"Not really. We just arrived five minutes ago" Andi said.

Andi and Rico shook hands, while Alina and Rena were like the greetings of women in general. Then they sat her body on the available chairs and immediately called the restaurant waiter to order food.

"Darling, what do you want to eat?" ask Andi and Rico simultaneously to their respective partners. It made the four of them look at each other, then smile amused except, Rena.

"I'm the same as you" Alina later told Rico.

Rico assures and immediately mentions his order and also Alina the butler of the restaurant. After that it was Andi and Rena's turn to mention the order of her choice to the waiter. After the maid left, they chatted casually while waiting for their order to come. But there Rico and Andi dominate the chat because Alina who respects Rena who has been more silent since.

Rena who since the beginning did not like the presence of Alina on the side of her boyfriend, it was clear that she was a lot of silence when she was at the closest distance to him. Although he had promised Andi not to be or reduce his blind jealousy to Alina, but his feelings will not be lied to just like that if the dislike is still there.
