30. Because of Chocolate Cake

Almost an hour passed and finally Rico came with a packet of savory chicken porridge. Without hesitation Alina finished the meal without remembering her words after hanging up the phone from Rico an hour ago. He who initially did not taste to eat food other than chocolate cake, somehow suddenly became very tempted with chicken porridge brought Rico. Makes Rico amazed and happy to see it because Alina is so greedy to eat her food.

"Eat the chocolate cake tonight. In the refrigerator first," said Rico later.

Alina assures him and immediately goes into the house to put the two boxes of chocolate cake that she has not touched it into the refrigerator. After that Alina again approached Rico who had been sitting on the porch of his house.

Yes, Rico deliberately waited for Alina on the porch of his house because it was not nice if he had to enter the woman's house alone. It was enough that he heard unpleasant rumors from some residents there about Alina who was often picked up by different men, he said, and Rico doesn't want the rumor to be even more so, even though tomorrow Alina won't be living there anymore.

Alina was also forced to eat her chicken porridge on the porch of her house because there was no way she could leave Rico alone in front, while she herself ate happily inside the house.

The next day, at about eight in the morning Rico said goodbye to his parents to help Alina move. Santi is eager to join his son to help Alina, but unfortunately this weekend he has promised to accompany the husband to a wedding of his old friend.

"Just say hi to Alina, honey. Tomorrow or if Mama is not busy, Mama will visit Alina's residence" Santi told Rico.

"Yes, Ma. Rico will tell Alina. Then Rico goes first, Ma. Assalamu'alaikum."

Rico kissed both cheeks of his mother and after that he immediately drove to Alina's residence. On the way, Rico contacted Andi to leave right now. They will meet at Alina's rented house because Rico asks Andi to bring his own car.

One car won't be enough for all of Alina's stuff. While they do not want to spend their time and energy just to do the work repeatedly. Rico also deliberately did not bring a special car to transport goods because indeed what will be brought is not a large item type of cabinets and friends.

The morning walk at the beginning of the weekend makes Rico arrive faster at Alina's residence. He didn't get out of his car until Andi's car got there.

Rico got out of the car and approached Andi's car. When Andi came out with a woman, Rico looked surprised to see the figure of Rena who was there.

"Well, did Rena come here?" ask Rico in your heart.

He did not know if Rena and Alina had reconciled since a few days ago because Alina did not have time to tell him. So it's only natural that Rico wonders about the presence of the woman at her boyfriend's residence.

"Have you been, Co?" ask Andi while greeting the friendship of the two of them.

"Lumayan, fifteen minutes ago," replied Rico.

"Aren't you in?" ask Andi again.

"Wait you. Not good to go in alone, it will be considered that residents here want to do it again," he said.

Andi nodded her head and after that they walked over to Alina's house. Rena who walked first made Rico elbow his friend's arm slowly.

"Why is he coming?" asked Rico who had been very curious since.

"You don't know yet?" ask Andi back.

Rico looked astonished at Andi's question. There was something missing, he thought.

"Not knowing what?"

"Alina and Rena are at peace. Even Rena had stayed at this house a few days ago."

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that the news he's hearing is not bad news. He was happy because Alina now had a friend. Because all this time he had never seen Alina befriend anyone except friends who were in the campus and also his friends while at the cafe. It was also they were not close friends like him and Andi, it could be said only limited to colleagues in a school or work scope.

When they arrived at the door of Alina's house, they did not find Alina or Rena in the room. They looked astonished as the house looked quiet and silent.

"Where's Elena going with Alina? Why so quiet?" ask Andi.

"Of course."

Rico knocked on the door three times and Rena appeared from behind the door.

"Why so lonely? Where's Alina?" ask Rico.

"Alina's in the room, she's sick."

Hearing the word 'sick' from Rena's mouth, Rico and Andi were very surprised. Even Rico could not believe because just yesterday they met in a state of Alina who is still healthy. Last night they were still calling before going to bed and Alina's voice was still normal.

"You don't joke, Ren. Alina is sick what? Last night he was fine" Rico said.

"I don't know, his stomach has been feeling nauseous since morning. The body's so limp, Co. Let's look inside" said Rena.

Without thinking if this was the house of a woman, Rico rushed into Alina's room after being given permission by Rena. Inside, he saw Alina lying on her side.

She approached Alina and sat her body on the floor of the bed. Alina's pale face made Rico very sad. What happened to the woman, but last night Alina was still fine.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" ask Rico for attention. He rubbed the sweat on Alina's forehead gently and cautiously.

"My stomach is nauseous" Alina said in a voice that seemed to be holding something back.

"Why can? Weren't you okay last night?" asked Rico in surprise.

Alina shook her head, her stomach returning nausea made the woman rise from her fall quickly and run to the toilet.

Alfian who had just arrived at his sister's residence was very surprised when he saw Alina running with a pale face from inside his room. Especially when he saw Rico coming out of there with an anxious face, making him think that his sister was not in good shape.

"Dina!" pekiknik make Andi and Rena who are in the living room shocked by his presence.
