Only Raised Children
25. Because of Mattresses

This morning after waking up, Rena's body felt like it was in shreds. Getting used to sleeping on an expensive mattress makes his body stand out as if sleeping on the floor. Though the mattress belongs to Alina is not too bad, although a little stiff because the quality is not as good as most expensive mattresses.

Alina smiled amusedly looking at Rena who was pouting in her living room while eating her breakfast. Indeed, for people like Rena would not be comfortable sleeping on a cheap mattress, but for people who are accustomed to living simply, the mattress is quite soft when slept.

"The beginning is not comfortable, but if you are used to being comfortable yourself really."

Rena stopped her eating and looked towards Alina who had just come from the direction of the kitchen when she heard her voice.

"You mean, I should…?"

"Yes" replied Alina who understood Rena's intentions even though the woman did not finish her words.

With a stiff smile, Rena resumed her breakfast without intending to say Alina. Just one night here alone has made his body feel torn apart, especially up to two to many times. Can-can his body crumble and can no longer do activities well. It seemed like this would be the first and last time he would spend the night in Alina's residence.

The sound of a car engine heard in front of the house made Alina and Rena glance towards the window. Rena resumed eating because she felt she did not know the car that had just parked in front of Alina's house, while Alina herself approached the door to see who came to her house this early.

When she saw that Alfian was coming in a different car, Alina looked astonished and was waiting for him at the door.

"Why come here?" alina asked as Alfian approached her.

"Take you to college" replied Alfian.

"I didn't say anything about picking up Alina."

"Why indeed? You have an appointment with Rico, right?"

"No really. Alina's not ready yet, Bang. Just finished bathing, Brother also came a very fast tumben."

"The gate was from my brother's private house, so you'll be here before work."

"Any stay there?" alina asked in surprise.

"Something has to be checked, so I'm forced to stay overnight. What time are you going to college?"

"Hour nine. Come on in, I'll have breakfast for a while." Alina took Alfian into her house. "Abang has breakfast yet? Later Alina bought rice sitting in front," asked Alina offering.

"No need, darling. Please make your brother coffee, yes, your instant coffee yesterday is still there, right?"

Alfian who had entered the house at that time made Rena frown when she heard the word 'honey' coming out of the man's mouth. It felt like it was strange to hear it, moreover, he had suspected the two people who claimed to be siblings.

"Still, Bang. You sit down first."

Alfian nodded and immediately sat his body in front of Rena. Their gaze met, for a moment they threw a smile before Rena returned to focus on her rice-seated.

"How are you, is it better?"

Rena looked up again to hear Alfian's voice. He looked confused because he did not know who the man was talking to. Rena pointed at herself and Alfian nodded his head, meaning that she was indeed talking to him.

"Em, yes. Thanks in advance for helping me," said Rena in a low voice.

"I don't know what your problem with that guy was yesterday. But if I may give you advice, never look weak in front of men. Because that way, you will be easily played with by him like yesterday."

Rena bit her lower lip and just said what Alfian said. She was indeed not a brave woman, especially with a man whose strength was far above her. He didn't even know what to do if he had to be reunited with Alvian. Hopefully with him telling Andi the truth later, the man can protect him from Alvian.

Alina came from the kitchen with a glass of black coffee for Alfian. After that he returned to the kitchen to take his rice that had not been eaten because he had just finished cleaning. She sat her body next to Rena and started eating her breakfast.

"Yes, Co?" alina.

"Darling, have you gone to college?" ask Rico across the street.

"I'm still at home. There's Bang Fian here too. Why?" ask Alina.

"Who, Al?" alfian asked as he was already sitting in his original seat.

"Rico, Bang."

Alfian nodded his head and let his sister talk to her boyfriend.

"Al, I've got a place to stay for you. Two more days you can move, baby. Later me and Andi help move your things, yes" said Rico across the street.

Alina who heard that then did not put the rice into her mouth. He put his spoon on the plate and it turned out to make Alfian surprised to see it. She watched her sister talking to her boyfriend in silence. Regardless of what they were talking about, he would ask after Alina was done with her conversation.

"Co, are you serious?" alina asked in surprise.

"of course. What do you think, I'm just kidding?"

Alina really could not believe if Rico was serious about her words that wanted to find a place to stay for her. Did the gossip that his neighbor said bother Rico and his family so much?

"But, Co, why so fast? I haven't even prepared everything, the stuff in my house is so much."

"You take it easy, let it be my business. You just need to prepare yourself to live in a new residence."

Alina let out her breath hearing her boyfriend's words. From the beginning he tried to reject the goodwill of his girlfriend, but Rico always forced him to move from there on the grounds of an environment that he thought was not healthy. He thought Rico wasn't really serious about what he said, so he relaxed and didn't think too much about the man. But who would have thought if in just one day Rico had managed to find a new place to live for him. He gets curious where Rico finds a place to live for him.

"Where's the place, Co?" ask Alina.

"Not far from your college. You can even walk to campus, count all sports in the morning."

"Contract near the expensive campus, Co. Why are you looking around there? I won't be able to pay for it" Alina said. 

Costs or rent in the campus area is famous enough to be expensive for him who is still in this condition. If anything cheap it must have a small space. He could not have lived in a place smaller than his present residence. Doesn't mean anything, just wants to be put where all this stuff is?

Rena and Alfian who heard Alina's last words looked astonished. Alina's moving out? That was what they had guessed from what they had just heard.

"Al, you don't have to think about costs. Anyway you get your personal items from tonight, later me and Andi take care of the rest. I have to go to the office, we'll talk again."

Alina sighed, then she said yes and immediately closed her call after answering the farewells from Rico. He put his phone on the table and sighed again after gulping down his drink.

"Who wants to move, Al?" asked Alfian who was very curious about the conversation his sister had with his girlfriend.
