THE ALEXIS
THE REMEMBRANCE 7
Alex and Ata are in his study. At the moment they are talking about Alex's next move.
“Then what are your plans, Lex?”
“He gave me a sense of loss, so I'll give him the same. It might even be more painful" he said, twirling a photo of a girl in his hand.
“You're gonna kill him?”
“Depends, how valuable his little sister is to him.”
“I think he's very valuable. Look lah!” Ata handed the tablet to Alex. “She even changed all the data about her sister.”
“So she loves her sister very much, huh? Okay, I'm gonna bring her back here through her beloved sister. What a very sweet brother sister relationship," he said while squeezing a photo that is still in his left hand.
"That's ironic" he thought. That person was happy with his sister, while that person had robbed his loved ones. So, I will also take your sister! I won't let you be happy with your sister!
“By way?”
“I will stay here and make him more infatuated with me.”
“Wait! That meant.... Do I also have to settle here?”
“Finished.”
“Until when?”
“Until an unspecified time. You also have to help me restore the glory of your company. That's all that's left of you. I have to take care of him, I promised, Ta.” Ata breathed out her heavy breath.
“I know that. It's just..... Aaahhh. If you knew you'd keep me here. I'll choose to stay lying in LA.”
“Hahaha, I know you're disappointed. But the situation has changed at the moment. I'll replace brother here.”
“Then what about your company in America?”
“I can handle it from here. Anyway there are you who can go back and forth for me.”
Oh God, what's my fault with her. Why am I being tortured by him?
Ata is very poor on long trips, he will be hit by severe jet lag if he travels more than 10 hours. While the journey from here to America takes twenty to twenty-four hours.
Alex laughed at the change in Ata's face. As if he understood what his best friend was thinking, he immediately added his sentence.
“Oya, register yourself on campus!”
“Hah? For what?”
“You should always be next to me, stupid!”
“I know, but do I also have to go to that university?”
“Hust! Because at any time you'll need me there.”
Oh this is not fun, Ata know what Alex's grin now means.
“Then I have to major in what?”
“As far as you want to major in what.” Ata's a little weigh-in.
“Can I take the graduate program?”
“Can't, take the undergraduate program! If you take the graduate program we'll be in a separate building. It's just far away. How can I call you from my building, fool!”
“You are right, but yes I have to repeat the same course?”
“Is this the result of thinking your accelerated brain?” Alex rolled his eyeballs in a fit of puff. “You can take other majors, not necessarily the same as the majors you have completed. In the same faculty!”
Hells! Ata squinted her eyes as if she wanted to pounce on Alex. He doesn't like this. At his university he had even studied all the courses in his faculty. Even he went into the classroom on the study next door illegally to steal knowledge.
Alex lifted his face from the company files he was studying when he did not get a response from Ata. His forehead wrinkled. Oh, he just remembered that Ata is a person who really likes to learn new things. A faint smile fell on his lips.
“You can enter FISIP.” Ata smirked at hearing it and started to get excited again.
The FISIP building is right next to the faculty building. There is even a connecting corridor between the two buildings. So he could call Ata at any time without any difficulty.
Alex is amused by his best friend. How to sulk the same as a woman who is sulking. If this Ata were a woman, Alex would have married her a long time ago. Because he is the only person who understands himself and is willing to do whatever all his requests are happy and selfless. Although it is actually more accurately referred to as a command than a request.
Without anyone realizing, Alex always knew what Ata wanted even though Ata never said it. And Alex always granted whatever he wanted without his knowledge. Ata was like a brother to Alex.
For all this time it was Ata who continued to be beside him. In his difficult times, the man never left him. They even started their business from scratch. They are like envelopes and stamps that stick perfectly.
