The Estuary of Zalina Love
Chapter 28 God and Aldo 1

Uh ... hoaaammss, Zalina awoke from sleep when she felt her eyes glare by the sunlight coming in from the ventilation gap of her room.

"Oh, my goodness! is it 8 o'clock?" Zalina who was surprised to see the clock on the bedside nightstand immediately jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom. Zalina had to hurry the bath to be fresher and prepare to do some of the plans she had already laid out.

Zalina who happened to be not praying and also on work leave seemed so good sleep, unlike the previous day who had to wake up early because he had to work or college first, he said, this morning his body was like asking for rations to sleep longer and wake up late.

Finish bathing Zalina immediately dressed neatly because before going to the store later, he will meet Miss, has long not been coffee with her best friend, making Zalina take advantage of this day which is still on leave of work, by inviting Miss to hang out at their favorite cafe.

"Wake up, son?"

"Yes, Nema .. sorry, Zalina misfortune, to make her sleep because of the rest of prayer and work holiday, hehehe ... "

"Once in a while, every day is not good for his food pegged Chicken, Ok!" said Nema.

"Ok Nema,"

"Yuk, breakfast first! after this I just went to the store."

"Ya Nema, o yes Nema, Nema will go first with Asep to the shop. You see, Zalina has a meeting with Miss, after that Zalina just went to the store, but inget, Nema just monitor and do nothing, Okay!"

"Okay, baby, you've been careful in the way."

"Okay, Nema."

After breakfast, as previously planned, Nema left for the store with Asep's sister, while Zalina drove herself to the cafe where she made a pact with Miss.

Arriving Zalina at the cafe, along with Miss who also just arrived at the cafe.

"Cie .. cie ... whose title of Midwife is already valid? great eiyy my best friend," said Miss who immediately nyamperin and hugged Zalina.

"Hahaha ... thanks beb, how are you?"

"Alhamdulillah as you see, healthy walafiat and more prosperous plus lush, hehehe .., sorry beb, yesterday could not attend the graduation event, heheheh, it just so happened that there was a seminar and I was asked to attend the demonstration from where I work," said Miss with regret.

"It's Okay, Beb! we go in yuk, continue to chat inside," asked Zalina to Miss.

"Yuk .. yuk!"

The two of them immediately searched for an empty table for them to occupy. Once they could, they also ordered some food and drinks for their chatting comrades.

"You're getting busy, Lin? keep on opening another branch?" ask Miss.

"Lumayan is Rin, but maybe not too dense as yesterday because it has not been studied again, so it can focus on work and shops only. God willing so Rin, just finishing again. Just prepare some things that I have to bring there, and want to find someone who can be trusted to hold the store there as well as Rin, because I can not be there every day, right? at best I hanged up with the old shop to survey there." Zalina explained to Miss.

"Saluuttt really I'm the same you, do not think that now you can open the store, hopefully one day I can also like you, Lin."

"Aamiin, uh .. wait, I think something! don't know what you agree with?"

"What?"

"Where if you hold our branch store, I mean you're my confidant, Rin. So, I don't have to find anyone else, you help me at the branch store, it's easy about his salary, how?"

"Hahahaha .. me? you're not wrong Lin? I'm not good at business, even directly told to hold a branch store, Oh My God," said Miss who was surprised by Zalina's offer.

"I didn't understand it either, Rin. Learning slowly finally so it can, than I find and teach people I don't know better I teach you, Rin. anyways it's not far from where you work, too, 5-10 minutes from where you work. So, you can come to the store after or before you leave for work, you adjust your work shift accordingly. How's it? want ya?"

"Seriously yes, Beb? Okay if you want to teach and guide me, I also want to try a new atmosphere beb, good luck like you too," replied Miss.

"Aamiin, Alhamdulillah .. one question I clear, now I just think about the sale of Rin's products, I want to fix the plan more precisely renew marketing Rin's store, you have no idea?"

"Ehm .. You know that I'm zero about business, but I have advice, but don't know if you agree" said Miss.

"You mean? what advice?"

"What if we ask Aldo for help? I-I mean that we use the services of Aldo's brother, brother Aldo has an advertising business, so I'm sure that brother Aldo can help your plan, he said, not only about marketing it even if you want to update product photos can also, Lin"

Zalina breathed. "Yes, brother Aldo could probably be because of his job, but right"

"Lin! professional ... I'm sure, if brother Aldo will be professional about this, he will not mix it with personal problems. Missing the memootong of Zalina's speech.

" All right, I'll call Aldo's brother."

Zalina called Aldo, and there was a ringtone. Not long Zalina's call was immediately accepted Aldo.

📞"Assalamu'alaikum, Lin. Tumben phone?"

📞"Waalaikum greetings, Sister. yes Brother, I happen to need the same brother, when is there time? let me explain directly."

📞"It just so happens that I'm out now, if you want to today."

📞"Oh yes Brother, I happen to be also outside with Miss. Exactly me again at Cafe X Kak, how about we make a deal here only Kak? me and Miss will be waiting here."

📞"Oh, may I happen to be on X Street and not too far from where you are. Then wait for me there, I'll be samperin."

📞"Okay, Brother. Then I hang up the phone first, brother, Assalamu'alaikum ...."

📞"Waalaikum greetings."

After the call ended, Zalina hung up.

"Sister Aldo agrees with Rin, he's coming here soon, he's on X Street, '" Zalina told Miss.

"Aamiin .. hopefully, Rind"

After waiting for approximately ten minutes, Aldo arrived at the Cafe.

"Hi, Zalina! hi, Miss! how are you doing?

"Hi is also Kak" replied Zalina and Miss together.

"Thank God we are good, brother. Brother Aldo how are you? come on, please sit down, brother!" Zalina.

"Alhamdulillah is good too" Aldo replied sitting down. "So what's it gonna take, to call me?"

Zalina also explained the purpose and purpose she contacted Aldo earlier, and asked Aldo for help as well.

"It's more or less like that, brother, the point is I want sales, and this marketing is getting better than ever. I also want to update the photos of our store products, Sis, So ... Can Kak Aldo help us?" ask Zalina.

"God, I will help you Zalina, Aldo replied.

"Alhamdulillah, thank you brother."

After talking about Zalina's work, Aldo and Miss exchanged stories, because they had not met for several months. Aldo whose busy work in one of the RS is also busy taking care of the new business in its pioneering field of Advertising.

"Sister Aldo, thank you for the time yes, thank you also for your help. Remember brother! it's business, so there must be a note that I receive, I don't want to be free" Zalina said.

Since Zalina knew how Aldo was to her, so before that happened she had already warned him in advance.

Aldo smiled and shook his head at Zalina's words. "Okay .. okay."

"If so, I and Miss excuse me first, brother, because I also have to go to the store."

"Wait, Lin. Are you in a hurry? I want to talk to you for a while, after that we go to the store together, because I also want to see some things for my needs later," said Aldo.

Zalina looked at Miss and Miss nodded her head. "If so I go first Li, Brother Aldo," said Miss.

After Missing passed leaving the Cafe, Zalina who was originally standing also sat back quietly. Want to refuse Aldo's invitation but not feel good, because Aldo is willing to help the business of his store.

"What would Aldo talk about?"

"I haven't seen you in a long time, Lin. In fact, I was so holding back my desire to meet you or call you, all of that to appreciate your desire to focus on college. I don't want to be selfish so you're getting away from me, Zalina, I don't want that to happen. Lin, I want to say something that I can't stand, I hope you really think about the answer well. I love you so much Zalina, I want our relationship to be more than it is today, I want us to have a bond, and I want to make you happy to the fullest."

Aldo said all his heart, it seemed he sighed, indicating that he was more plong aka more satisfied after expressing his feelings for Zalina.

Zalina gulped many times, confused to say what, many times she rejected Aldo in the past with the reason of focusing on college, now let alone the reason, I don't know.

"K-kaakk, A-me, Aa-ku ... "

"Lin, please think about it first, we're both adults, I don't want a relationship to be unclear, let alone uncertain. If you agree to it, I don't want us to date, Lin. Therefore, I don't want you to give me a cliche excuse with the 'go live first' alibi'. I'll wait for you until the end of the year" Aldo said.

"Late year? that means another 1 1/2 months" Zalina said in her heart.

"Yes, now let's go to the store, you don't have to say anything, you just think about it and give the exact answer at the end of the year."

Zalina who was still silent in confusion, only smiled faintly at Aldo in response to Aldo's words.

"Did you bring a car, Lin? I happened to be with a friend and was escorted here, if I could just ride in your car," said Aldo.

"Oh, yes Brother. I brought a car, Yuk with me, this is my brother driving the car."

Aldo smiled thinly almost invisibly with a heart of excitement. Feeling successful to be alone with Zalina and willing to leave her car in the parking lot. Then the two of them left the cafe and headed straight for the store.

Arriving at the store, Zalina and Aldo got out of the car. Coinciding with the descent of someone from the parked car on the left side of Zalina's car.

"God's Uncle."

"Relina ...." The god was shocked when Zalina called out her name.

The god looked at Zalina, who was now standing a man beside Zalina. The god remembered the man was the oria he had seen in the past chatting with Zalina in one of the cafes. With an indecipherable glare, God looked at Aldo. Aldo looked ordinary and looked back at God casually.

"God, what is it going to do? sir-"

The god, who was busy staring at the togetherness of Aldo and Zalina, did not realize that Zalina had called him twice.

"Eh .. oh, I want to buy something, then I go in first" said the shocked God who stepped in leaving Aldo and Zalina.

"You know him?" ask Aldo.

"Everyone knows, too, brother. He is our captain."

"Yups, I know that too. I mean, you know him more than that, right? you see, you are like very familiar to call him with the call 'God' when people yearya 'Akbar'.

Zalina who had already stepped on her feet, hearing Aldo's statement rolled her eyes lazily, she stopped and turned to Aldo.

"Our shop cooperates with his Apple garden, Brother. From now on we will produce our own products made from Apples, and all Apples are brought from his garden, if the matter of calling the name, he said, that's because he introduced his name as God."

Zalina explained enough, because she was lazy to explain other things why she could know the God.

Aldo who heard Zalina's explanation was only O-Ria. Zalina walked into the shop and was followed by Aldo behind her.
