Ivona sees Beni walking out from behind the tree he used to hide himself. She then picks up her iPad, then turns it on and sends a chat to Caroline.
"Carol..., wait for me! I'm probably a little late to the bar, 'cause there's something I need to finish first."
"OK." Caroline quickly replied to her message.
Meanwhile, Beni excitedly walked up to Alexander who was still standing outside the gate. Looking at the handsome man who was in front of him, Beni's head immediately felt empty. She did not expect that Ivona had such a handsome sister.
"This guy why can be so handsome.., Ivona is also beautiful like that. The seedlings of both of them must also be beautiful and handsome." Beni thought to himself, he felt amazed by the appearance of Alexander standing in front of him.
With confidence because he was a friend of Ivona, Beni ventured to invite the handsome man but had a cold gaze that spoke.
"Good afternoon sister..., is sister waiting for Ivona?? If so, Ivona is no longer in this school." so nervous, Beni was not aware of his words. He should have thought before he spoke, how did he know that the handsome man was looking for Ivona. But because he as a fellow man was very impressed with Alexander's good looks, he was confused what to talk about.
"Who are you?? How do you know I'm waiting for that girl??" Alexander asked back, which made Beni realize his mistake in speaking.
"Em..mm.., yes." replied Beni with his head bowed, because it was not strong to look at Alexander.
"He asked you, yes, to meet me here? Also asked you to tell me if he's out of here." Alexander asked Beni, smiling Smirk.
"I'm a classmate. Ivona was taking some time to calm herself down. So, please don't disturb him for now, give him time!" Beni kept pleading with Alexander not to see Ivona.
"Everything else you know about that girl, and what has she told you??" alexander asked, wondering what other lies Ivona used to make the fat man, obeying his orders.
"Actually Ivona really likes you, really, really likes you. He likes you a lot more than just a sibling relationship. So.., as her friend begged you, take good care of Ivona, never hurt her, please..!"
"Oh that's it... he..he.he...., you were Ivona?? I'm sorry I'm a forgetful person." asked Alexander with a slow laugh, seeing the fat man who so easily lied to Ivona, became his own entertainment for Alexander.
"I'm her best friend. Even Ivona bravely helped me, she did not have the slightest fear until she dared to fight Yoshua Jonathan son of Hendra Jonathan." unconsciously, because she wanted to take the heart of her brother Ivona, because he wanted to take the heart of his brother Ivona, who was the son of Yoshua Jonathan, Beni told me about this morning.
"But what about Ivona?? Is he hurt?" a little anxiety was in Alexander's heart hearing Ivona was involved in a fight with students at Dharma Nusa High School.
"Quiet.., safe under control. At least the girl's limbs were not injured." replied Beni, which greatly relieved Alexander's heart.
"Oh yeah, actually Ivona was my foster sister. So, it doesn't matter if she likes me more than a sister to her brother. There will be no prohibition about our relationship. Say yes later with the girl, so that she also does not feel awkward with me." in a lazy tone, Alexander played Beni.
Hearing Alexander's words just now, Beni was immediately dumbfounded. The fat man became dumb, and stared at the handsome man without blinking, his head already unable to be brought to think anymore.
"Where can I meet Ivona right now?? Calm down.., as your request, I will take care and will not hurt the girl?? alexander asked with a smile.
********
Ivona is still playing with the iPad in her hands, she checks there is no incoming email and wants to know the results of the meeting at the conference. He was this afternoon for Beni, who had permission from the computing company that currently employs him to not be able to attend the conference virtually. Right now she was still waiting behind the tree, and tired of waiting for Beni's return, Ivona raised her face.
"Sister Alex can be here??" ivona asked with surprise, because when he lifted his face, it turned out to look Alexander's face. The man bent his body, so that at this moment his face was right in front of the girl.
"So, I'm curious to hear directly from the owner of the voice. Ayuk Nana. Tell me, how you really feel about me, the cook has to go through that fat guy!" in a soft voice, Alexander teased Ivona. He conveyed what he heard from Beni directly to the one who had.
"Don't listen to Beni kak.., Ivona just joked with him!!" Ivona tried to neutralize the atmosphere. Hearing the words of the handsome man whose face was currently very close to her, Ivona's body stiffened.
"Whose words should I listen to?? Didn't you send the fat man to me yourself??" alexander asked with a smile, his hand suddenly dropped onto Ivona's shoulder.
Ivona immediately tried to rewind her body, she wanted to avoid Alexander's touch. But unfortunately for him, his body was very mepet with the trunk of the big tree. Alexander paid no heed to Ivona's refusal, casually embracing Ivona and taking her walking out of the gate.
"Sister Alex..., today Ivona just went home alone huh?? Ivona knows exactly where the villa is. So, brother Alex went home alone first, or do other activities. Yes, brother.., please..!!!" Ivona begged Alexander to go home alone.
"Our goals are the same, right?? We will both go back to the villa, why go home alone?? You think, how easy is it to find transportation to my villa?? No, we go home together." Alexander insisted on Ivona going home with him.
"But Ivona still has business. Ivona has already promised a friend, Ivona wants to give her things. Yes, brother, please!" with a look of puppy eyes, Ivona repeated her request to Alexander.
"Say where you want to go?? I'll take you there." Alexander insisted on dropping him off.
Eventually, rather than break her promise to Caroline, Ivona relented, allowing Alexander to take her. But knowing that the man would be angry, if he said that his goal was to go to the bar, Ivona changed the location of their meeting at the bookstore in front of the bar.
"The MUSE bookstore" Ivona said slowly.
Alexander immediately took Ivona to his car, then opened the front door of the car.
