The Time Limit (22)

You have to keep your distance from Alfie. Even if he's your cousin, he's not your mahram, which means you can marry him. Looking at her attitude, it seems like she has put her heart on you.

Sakha suddenly remembered Adel's words when she saw Alifa's attitude for the first time.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Adel today accompanied Keysha to the TKQ school which is located not too far from the store. It can still be reached on foot. After he finished preparing, he immediately approached the Keysa store.

Not far from him, Sakha observed from inside the car. In the past, in his vision Adel was ordinary. But now, Sakha seemed unable to turn her face away from the figure she usually ignored.

Sakha continues to look at Adel until Adel enters Keysa's shop.

" Satria, if there's a woman named Alifa looking for me, say I don't exist. I'll send you a picture. Anyway whatever reason she used to be able to meet me, just refuse", Sakha who just arrived, immediately gave Satria an order. He knew about Alifa's habits. He would go to the cafe even if he refused to take him. Really troublesome.

" Good", answered Satria briefly. Satria is a new employee, so he does not know who Alifa is yet.

Sakha passed by and headed straight for her room. So did Satria who returned to work.

At lunchtime, as Sakha expected, Alifa actually came to the cafe and tried to meet Sakha.

" I'm sorry, Mr Sakha is not in place?", explained Satria when Alifa expressed his purpose to the Cafe.

" I'm going to deliver lunch. Don't you know me? I'm Alifa, Sakha's cousin!", upset Alifa while putting down the food she brought. His intention is to take Sakha to lunch together and say that the food he brings is his cooking so that Sakha is impressed. The food was ordered online.

It is precisely because you are Alifa, the person that Mr. Sakha forbade from entering to meet him. Satria.

" Again, sorry. But, Mr. Sakha is indeed not in place", Satria still replied with the same reason and as friendly as possible.

" Then let me wait in her room" Alifa insisted.

" I'm sorry, but no one can enter the room without permission", Satria tried to remain patient to give understanding.

" I said, I'm her cousin!", Alifa shouted, insisting on being allowed in.

" And I am his subordinate who is carrying out the duty of Mr. Sakha to prohibit anyone from entering his room without permission. Whoever it is without exception ", clearly Satria firm stand. He does not want to take risks with a job that is difficult to get.

An annoyed Alifa immediately left from there while cursing Satria who was unwilling to let her into Sakha's room.

Without Alifa knowing, the reason Sakha actually fired the previous manager was because she easily let Alifa into her room when there was a clear order that no one was allowed to enter the room of the cafe owner without the permission of the owner. But not only once, the old manager had repeatedly violated Sakha's orders. I don't know why the manager dared to defy Sakha's orders.

Although his lunch plan failed, Alifa did not break charcoal. He will do many ways to attract Sakha's attention. As Adel had guessed, Alifa did have a taste for Sakha. Sakha only thinks of him as a sister. Therefore, he looks for ways to get his feelings avenged including by vilifying Adel in front of Sakha. In the past, Lisa was targeted because she was next to Sakha, now Adel.

Alifa had a high degree of confidence that she could get rid of Adel because she knew the reason for their marriage was only the request of her uncle who was now gone. According to Alifa, it is Lisalah that is difficult to get rid of because it can steal Sakha's heart.

While stepping her feet out of the cafe, Alifa kept thinking. Put together a plan that he will run during his stay at Sakha's house.

The days passed. Adel, who as usual was busy in the store, now always took the time to take or pick the twins to school. Though Keysa has forbidden but, Adel forced. Adel who really likes children is happy to spend time with both.

While Sakha herself, since Alifa stayed at her house she did not return home. He sleeps in a cafe, in his private room. He wanted to avoid Alifa who was increasingly showing his action who wanted to approach him.

" Tan, is Sakha not coming home again?", asked Alifa after dinner.

" yes. He said so", replied Mama Ria briefly.

" Ish, even though there was me staying here but, even Sakha's sister was staying somewhere else. Where is Sakha's sister staying, Tan?", Alifa was curious.

Mama Ria simply shrugged both of her shoulders. He did not want to give any information to his nephew. Although in fact he knows where the child slept for a few days and also what the reason.

Mama Ria can also see the gelagat Alifa which is always attached to Sakha. If reminded, it must be evasive. Even if they are cousins, they should know the limits.

" You alone, what is your problem with Pandu not finished yet?", Mama Ria shifted the topic of conversation.

"Ehmm, actually tomorrow we will go home", replied Aunt Mala without answering whether the misunderstanding has been resolved or not.

" Good then. It's not good to leave your husband for long. The duty of a wife is to serve the needs of the husband, if you continue here who will serve your husband?!", Mama Ria advised. He could not let his sister-in-law continue to stay overnight which meant making Alifa also in his house.

"Yes, sis", replied Aunt Mala nodding softly.

Alifa who did not want to listen to her parents' problems immediately passed from there and headed for the guest room. However, he looked to the right and left and then headed straight to Sakha's room while carrying a piece of photo that he would keep in Sakha's room, unfortunately it turned out that the door was locked. Usually, it is never in the key. Finally, he returned to the guest room with a stomp of his feet in annoyance. Failed his plan.

" You have known Pandu for a long time. Know what he's like. Do not be prejudiced and run away from problems. Your child is an adult lest he imitate your habits when there are problems with his future husband." Aunt Mala just silently listened. The same advice he always heard but never learned. Like it evaporates.

" Mom doesn't like you here. It's just that the name of household problems should be solved both. If you can't, ask the person you think can help solve it. Not avoiding problems with blurring. Moreover, you guys are showing in front of your child", Mama Ria does not get tired of advising her sister-in-law. Although either heard or only considered the wind then.
