ALDERANDA

Problem

"Mr. Al. But Mr. Al already has a girlfriend."
"I broke up with her a long time ago. What about you, Dera?"
"Mr. Al, actually I also like Mr. Al from the beginning. I just don't dare to say it because I know that Mr. Al already had a girlfriend."
"Really Dera? So?"
"Yes, I want Sir. I also love Mr. Al."
"Dera... Thanks."
Al hugged Dera tightly.
Dera and Al are dating. Even though they don't see each other often, they can still keep each other's heart. They keep in touch and keep each other informed.

Today Al invited Dera to visit his apartment.
"Mr. Al, how long have you lived here?"
"Yes honey. It's been quite a while. Thank you for wanting to stop by here. Come often. So you can accompany me."
"Ah Mr. Al, what's the matter? I can't possibly be here every day."
"What do you want to drink Ra?"
"You can't do anything Sir. It's even bothersome."
"It's okay Dera. Just relax here. Here's a drink..."
"Thanks Mr. Al."
"You often go to your old school, don't you? We rarely see each other. If necessary, how about I pick you up every day after school?"
"How are you, Sir?"
"Honey. I really love you. I love you. I want us to be together forever. Don't ever leave me, honey! I love you !"
Al suddenly kissed Dera on the lips.
"Mr Al...!!"
Dera was so surprised that she dropped her glass of drink.
"Honey, I'm sorry... You must be surprised huh?"
"Mr. Al. So spill your drink."
"Yeah, it's okay honey. Let me clean it up."
Al loves Dera very much. He felt he had found the half of his soul he had been looking for. Al had never felt anything like this when he was with his former girlfriend.

Dera has been having a hard time lately. At home, Dera becomes the victim of a fight between her parents. Dera increasingly frustrated and down. Problems in her family made Dera short-minded. She went to meet Al at his apartment.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Is everything all right? All right, come on in here first! Tell me, what's wrong honey?"
Al invited Dera into the apartment room. At that time Dera could not think long. After telling Al everything, Dera forces Al to do something he shouldn't with herself so she can be separated from her parents and live with Al forever.
"Dera, what are you doing honey?"
"Come on Sir. Mr. Al loves me right? Why doesn't Mr. Al want to do 'this'? Please Mr. Al, let me stay with Mr. Al. I'm tired. Help me get rid of all that Sir!"
"Dera. Darling... Stop !! Shh, listen to me first! I love you, yes honey. I want to do 'that' but not now. Later honey, after we get married and officially become husband and wife. You can't like this. You have to think positively. I can't possibly hurt you and ruin your future now honey!"
"Mr. Al, I'm sorry Sir..." Dera's cries broke even more.
"Yes honey, it's okay. Everything will be fine. That's it. You have to be strong. I will always be by your side."
Al hugged Dera tightly.
If asked, actually Al also really wants Dera. All this time he had to work very hard to hold back his desire for Dera because after all Al was also a normal man. In fact, he can't wait to experience a beautiful wedding moment with Dera. However, he also thought about how sad Dera would be if he ruined her life now while Dera must have dreamed of a beautiful future with all the achievements she wanted to achieve.

Time passed quickly, Dera graduated from high school with very satisfying grades. Finally she has a high school diploma after all these years. Dera wanted to continue studying literature. However, it seems that Dera has to bury her dream deep down.
"Mr Al..."
"Dera Dear. Congratulations on your graduation. What gift do you want dear? By the way, where are you going to study after this? How about studying at my campus?"
"Mr. Al, I'm not going to college right now."
"Oh, what do you mean dear? But you have always wanted to study literature, right? Honey, I can help, I will pay for your studies until you finish."
"It's impossible, Mr. Al. I can't. Mr. Al isn't who I am yet. Mr. Al is just my boyfriend. I can't accept anything from Mr. Al."
"Okay, then you'll marry me now! After that, you have the right to receive anything from me, right?!"
"It's not that easy Sir. What kind of girl do you think I am? I'm going to look for a job. I'll let Mr. Al know when I get a job. Mr. Al doesn't have to worry about me."
"Dera... Dera WAIT!!"
Dera leaves Al.
Al was so confused by Dera's attitude. Al's intentions are actually good, he just wants to help Dera so that Dera can go to college and achieve her dreams. However, Al's intention ended up creating a misunderstanding between the two of them.
Maybe Al's way of conveying his intentions made Dera offended or felt humiliated. Now Al let Dera alone to calm her mind. Dera definitely needs some time to herself right now. Al doesn't want to make things worse and make their relationship more complicated.
