The appearance of the first time Shenina's Refal's rancid look again after they were reunited made Shenina cluck and smile thinly at the same time. A smile so thin that not a single person noticed it included Refal who kept looking at Shenina.
Tengil is an expression that is very annoying and adorable because once Refal always put on such a rancid look when tempting Shenina until continued with the expression of love expression both.
Realizing that there was Riana between herself and Refaldy, Shenina immediately turned flat again. Shenina returns to the fact that she and Refal are just a piece of a past story that will never come back.
Okay, don't let Riana get suspicious and then tell Alula things. And succumbing to Refal is the best option right now.
"Mba Riana, you don't have to tell Alula about the door, yes, not a renovation." Shenina.
Shenina was clearly quite self-aware because the position here she was just hitchhiking. Hitchhiking in an apartment that may cost tens of billions.
"Good mba Shenina." Answer Riana.
"Then, can I help you again Mba Shenina?" Ask Riana.
"nothing. Thank you so much for all the help, Riana."
"I'm sorry then." Pamit Riana's. Shenina nodded and smiled amiably.
"Let's Mr. Refal." Riana's greeting to the man who had not let go of her gaze in the least on Shenina.
Refal nodded and smiled, but a smile fell on Shenina. Riana had just seen a different figure from a Refaldy Bayutama, the person she had known for several years since Refal occupied this luxurious Apartment because Refal was famous for being a cold person.
"Sir Refal." Call Shenina.
"Yes?" Refal smiled back at Shenina.
"Although the apartment I live in is connected to your apartment, I beg you to keep the boundaries."
"What limits do you mean?" Again, Refal pretended to be stupid.
"I want you not to enter Alula's apartment area while I'm living there."
"On what basis do you forbid me Shenina? Alula who owns the apartment never minded me in and out of her apartment, after all the apartment I also bought as a birthday gift Alula a few years ago."
Glug.
"I don't know if this apartment you bought sir, and I don't care who bought it either. All I know is this apartment belongs to Alula. And I ask you to respect my request because I also have privacy." Said Shenina calmly.
"Waow.. birthday gift in the form of luxury apartments and connected to each other? Will this be their home after marriage?" Inner Shenina raged.
"Shenina. I will only ask you to work professionally in accordance with the employment contract you have signed."
"good. No problem. I'll be a professional, as long as you don't bother me."
"You seem to have forgotten Shenina, your contract is 24 hours with me, whenever I need it. You have to standby." Inner Refal smiled meaningfully at Shenina.
Not answering Shenina's question, Refal chose to waltz into her apartment just like that without caring about Shenina who was staring at her bitterly because her words were no longer touched by Refaldy.
"To this day, it's enough to get here first Shenina.. You take a break, see you in the morning full of surprises." Inner Refaldy.
...***...
Refaldy again laid his body on the long sofa in the television room of his own apartment. Refal was struggling on his tablet again to check some files for a smooth meeting on Monday.
Shenina was already living in the apartment unit next door and she could enter at any time into Alula's unit. It certainly makes Refal a little sigh of relief because Alula's stepbrother can monitor the girl of his heart for 24 hours. Moreover, the CCTV camera in the living room of Alula's apartment was connected to Refal's cell phone, so Refal knew anyone who visited there including the handsome doctor named Argha.
Ah, basic Refaldy.
While Shenina is next to the apartment unit Refaldy looks beberes. The girl with very sweet dimples was arranging her clothes that were nothing to the Alula's huge closet.
After tidying up her belongings and cleaning her body, Shenina already looked fresh and chose to shop for her personal needs at the supermarket on the lower floor of the apartment.
Although not very good at cooking, Shenina wanted to fill the large refrigerator in the apartment with various food ingredients that were easy to cook. All Shenina buys snacks and drinks.
"Who my savings this time run out, is it another week already payday from WIC, the salary is also very much. Then I don't have to think about paying the monthly boarding money" Shenina said excitedly.
...***...
It turns out that shopping to fill the refrigerator and food stock in the apartment supermarket is enough to make Shenina forget time.
The circular clock in Shenina's hands was already showing at seven in the evening.
With a few grocery bags filling her hands, Shenina did not return to the apartment unit. The 24-year-old girl chose to stop by her favorite coffee shop, Starcoffe, which is next to the supermarket.
"Cappucino latte one same butter Croissant one." Said Shenina at the Cafe cashier.
"120,000." Said the female cashier. Shenina immediately paid and waited for only a few seconds, Shenina's order was immediately able to bring Shenina to the table that was still empty.
Because this weekend, the cafe that provides many types of coffee drinks is quite crowded especially in an elite environment so the price is not a problem anymore.
Shenina had enough trouble finding a table that was still empty until a waiter showed Shenina at the table at the end which was only for two people. Shenina smiled happily as she was soon able to enjoy her coffee.
Placing a cross section containing cappucino and butter croissant, Shenina sat without paying attention around. Just about to drink a cappucino, shenina movement stopped because of hearing a familiar voice in her ears. Someone sitting right behind Shenina.
"Stop meddling in my personal affairs ma, I'm an adult and I have the right to determine my own way of life."
The deg!
"Refaldy?" Shenina muttered spontaneously looking back.
Yes, Refaldy was sitting right behind Shenina whose position was turned back to each other. And in front of Refaldy, there was a middle-aged woman whose face was already familiar to Shenina. Despite not seeing Refal's face directly, Shenina had memorized it with the man's back and the man's voice.
"Mama only wants the best for you Fal, marry Raya. You must be responsible for the life of Raya, after all Raya is also from a good family and the Raya family is also close to your papa family, right?" Said the Woman.
Oh yes, Shenina remembers... Refal once showed me a photo of the woman who gave birth to him while they were still dating.
"Lately my mom has always said she wants the best for me, so where have you been? Mom just left me at my mom's parents' house and mom went looking for her own happiness." Refal said with a smile. Word by word that came out of the mouth of Rephal was indeed with a slow intonation but filled with emphasis.
And because of the fairly close distance between Refal and Shenina, Shenina could hear everything clearly.
"I'm sorry Mama Refal. Forgive your mistakes in the past, Mama admitted wrong. Now, mama will make up for all the mistakes mama Fal, mama wants to see you soon marry Raya because Raya has already ......"
Refal immediately cut off the words of the mother.
"Stop ma.... Everything that happened to that woman named Nauraya was her own fault ma! No interference with me. He already knew what risks he would have to bear after doing such a disgusting thing! Now I just want to move on with my life without any interference from you all! I want to pursue what I want to get. I want to be happy with the woman of my own choice." Said Refal who immediately stood up from his seat.
"Refal, horrified mama!" Said the woman.
"Oh yeah, one more...." Refal stopped his steps right beside Shenina. But Refal was not aware of the existence of his former lover.
"Mama stop bothering Alula! I don't like your mom to keep calling Alula!" The command of the refal is firm.
Just as Refal was about to resume his steps, Refal's eyes were rubbed with Shenina's.
"Shenina?"
