Hugged Me, Mother
chapter 18

"Hi Daffa, why don't you tell me that you have a relationship with Alya" said Najwa who had just arrived at his office.

Daffa, who did not understand what Najwa was saying, simply fell silent as he tried to digest every word Najwa said to him."

"What relationship? I don't understand what you're saying" said Daffected Daffodiliated face.

"Alya likes you. Alya's good attitude and concern for you is because she likes you."

"A_what? Who said Alya liked me?"

"Ah so all this time you don't know that Alya likes you? Oh, my God, you don't really want to be a man."

"I don't know, we were just regular friends all along. You know that."

"Yes but last night Alya herself told me the same she said she liked you a long time ago."

Daffa who just knew about Alya's true feelings, felt very happy because actually all this time he also liked Alya just that he did not dare to reduce his feelings for Alya.

"So what are you waiting for? Quickly shoot Alya."

"But I don't know where Alya is now."

"He works at the Danuarta Group, just meet him as soon as possible and immediately express your love."

"Well, now I have to work. I'm ahead of Naj." Daffa walked into the office where he worked.

"I want to work too. Why am I left here."

Najwa followed Daffa's steps as he walked into his office!

"Pa, let's go shopping for clothes for us to use on Farhan's day of application" Rossa told Broto.

"Win when the hell is Ma, the show?"

"It's up to Papa when. Yesterday Farhan and Najwa agreed to get married, and we proposed that he marry our son."

"Papa knew they had agreed to get married but yesterday they also asked for time to get to know each other better."

"What's wrong with us preparing everything first so that the time comes we don't bother too much Pa."

"It's up to Mama if that's the case, Papa follow what Mama says."

Rossa smiled and got up from her seat.

"Where are you going?" ask Broto.

"You get changed and grab a bag."

"You're trying to change clothes."

"The amount should be up to Mama, yes Mama wants to shop."

"Papa's Sama?"

"Yes dong time alone."

"Say if Mama wants to go together with Papa."

"That Papa knows why it's so hard to walk" said Rossa with a smile that kept framing her face.

At the office where Alya works.

"Alya, we will have lunch together, yes" said Arka.

"Huh eat?"

"Yes, what's wrong with you?"

"No, sir, actually, I'd like to see my friend by noon."

"Oh, that's lunch with me tomorrow."

"Eumm, sir aren't you ashamed to eat with me?"

"Why? You are beautiful and most importantly you are a human child not a ghost or a wild animal that can prey on me at any time."

"Not that sir, I mean ...." Alya hung up her words and turned her gaze in the other direction.

"Why?" Arka tilted her head to be able to look at Alya who was staring at the window of the room.

"Mom like I'm more at home," said Danish.

"Yes if you feel at home good work here just not abroad" said Marlina.

"The idea is that but it's a pity that I stopped working there, ma'am."

"Why is it, son?"

"There I've succeeded and my position is also quite high so it's a pity if it has to be left."

"Mom, Alya has a boyfriend yet?"

"Where do you know, you never wonder such a personal thing."

"You know it." Danish chuckled while scratching his non-itchy nape.

That afternoon at Chandra's corporate office.

Daffa was so happy after hearing Najwa's statement this morning, he was now ready to meet Alya to express his old feelings.

"Hopefully Alya is still in her office, I can't wait to see her" Daffa muttered.

Daffa grabbed his cell phone on his desk and got up from his seat.

Lunch time has come and it's time for her to go see Alya!

In the office lobby.

Farhan was already there to meet Daffa.

"Mas Farhan" said Daffa.

"Daffa I want to talk" said Farhan.

"Speak what Mas?"

"I want to ask you something but we're not talking here. What show are you having today?"

"Actually I want to see a friend but no problem, we'll talk first." They also began to step towards a quieter place!

"Farhan!"

Not yet where they were headed, Najwa shouted to Farhan.

The girl ran towards the two of them.

Farhan stood at his original spot while looking at Najwa who was running towards him.

"Daffa, let's talk next time. If you want to go, just go" Farhan told Daffa.

"Well, if that's what I'll excuse you first."

"Yes please."

Daffa left there and let the lovers meet."

With no sense of awkwardness, Najwa immediately hugged Farhan!

"You have come to see me, for sure" said Najwa, holding Farhan in his arms.

Farhan remained silent and did not return Najwa's embrace.

Simultaneously, Alya came and saw them hugging.

Instantly pain and jealousy struck his heart.

Alya stood up while looking at them, not feeling any tears dripping from her fertilizer.

"God, why is it so painful, is it wrong that I am jealous to see them?" alya said in her heart.

Chandra who was just about to come out of his office accidentally saw that sight.

A smile expands from her lips.

"I'm sorry Alya but I want your mother to feel the pain I feel. Even though he is gone, but I believe, in nature he must have seen you and he must have felt pain when he saw you like this" Chandra said in his heart.

"Alya, are you here?" said Daffa who just saw Alya there.

Alya immediately wiped her tears and smiled faintly at Daffa.

"Daffa, I'm here to see you" he said.

"Welcome me? I was just about to see you. What's up Al?"

"Is there something I want to talk to you about, can we, uh, talk outside?"

"Can. Where do you want to talk?"

"As far as you are."

Daffa smiled, feeling very happy because he thought Alya would express love to him.

"Then we talk while we eat."

Alya nodded then followed Daffa's steps walking towards Daffa's beloved motorcycle!

"Najwa, don't hold me for too long like this. Shame to see people," said Farhan who saw Alya walking alone with Daffa.

"Alya must have seen me like this. He must be jealous" Farhan said as he looked at Alya and Daffa.

Seriate.
