STALKER

Alfa, Tata, and Sheila are about to go to an invitation to open a restaurant in the capital which is held by Rehan — the younger brother of Alfa's mother. They hurried back to Alfa's house to shorten the time.

Arriving at Alfa's house. They hurried to clean themselves. Tata and Sheila are busy with the clothes Sheila is going to wear. Meanwhile, Alfa is getting ready in her private room.

"Is this dress good, isn't it?" Sheila asked Tata. Sheila brought the dress which was erected right in front of her body.

"Not bad, but it will look big on your body later" Tata judged from the shape of the dress which is quite large.

"Then which one is it? Sis, what kind of dress are you wearing?" Sheila asked Tata to come up with an idea.

"I'm wearing a maroon knee-length dress Sheila" Tata was applying a light powder coat to her face.

"Well, I don't have a red dress. Eh, but I do have a pink one" Said Sheila back to find where the knee-length pink dress belongs to Tata. "Well found. Sis, if this is suitable or not?" asked Sheila for the umpteenth time.

"Wow, the color is beautiful. It suits for you, Sheila"

After Tata and Sheila decided which outfit they would like to wear, they proceeded to polish their faces a little with makeup. They are compact with each other to determine what lipstick color is suitable for each of them. It didn't take long that they were finally ready.

The time showed 18.50 which means they will be leaving soon because the event will start at 19.30. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Alfa was waiting for them in the family room sitting down to play with her cellphone.

"Let's go!" Invite Sheila by cooperating with Tata and Alfa together.

Alfa saw them — Tata and Sheila were like a princess in a royal family, which distinguished them that they were quite flawless in using make-up on their faces.

"Okay," replied Alfa by taking the car keys on the table

Alfa is wearing a black coat with a white shirt and bow tie which he will wear when he arrives at the restaurant later. Alfa doesn't like wearing a bow tie. But, for a short time Alfa didn't mind it.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the restaurant. Lots of guests came to celebrate the opening of the restaurant. Several times Alfa and Sheila were invited to talk by their siblings. However, they still didn't just forget about Tata's existence. Alfa continues to introduce Tata to his brother.

"Wow, you're grown girl, Sheila. The last time I saw you were a kid, uh, now you're grown. And for you fa, what grade are you now?" Asked Uncle Rehan with a drink in his hand.

"Already in grade 3 SMA Uncle, if Sheila is grade 1 SMA" replied Alfa, Sheila just smiled shyly

"Oh, Uncle, I introduce to you about my friend—Tata," said Alfa introducing Tata

"Oh, your friend? I think Tata is your girlfriend," said Rehan with a mocking smile. Rehan held out his handshake and was then rewarded with Tata.

"I'm Rehan. younger brother from Alfa and Sheila mother," continued Rehan

"Yes, Uncle. I am Tata. Alfa's friend," replied Tata with a soft smile. I feel ashamed because this is the first time I have to meet the Alfa family even though her mother is going abroad on business.

"She is pretty too Fa, are you sure you are only friends with Tata?" Whispered Rehan in Alfa's ear.

Tata who heard a little only pretended not to hear it.

Alfa then took Rehan away from his ear "What are you doing?"

"Okay. I want to go. so, enjoy the party!" Excuse Rehan to them.

Suddenly Mother's Alfa — Gabriella asked Alfa for a video call and was immediately picked up by Alva.

"Hello, son. Where's Sheila?" Gabriella said from across the phone. His hand moves to pull the hair that is in the cheek to move it behind the ear

"Hello, Mama. When are you coming home? Sheila really miss u," Sheila pulled Alfa's hand to bring her cellphone camera closer to reveal herself.

"Next month, I will come home dear, just wait! Then how about the inauguration of the restaurant owned by Uncle Rehan? Is it done?" Gabriella asked curiously

"Not yet Mah" replied Alfa.

"You said you went to Tata too? Where's Tata?" Alfa shifted the camera to Tata.

"Hello ma'am, how are you?" Tata asked pleasantly considering their closeness.

"I'm fine, dear, thank you for wanting to accompany Alfa and Sheila"

"Yes, ma'am, it doesn't matter," said Tata softly

"Test test test. Good evening everyone. Wow, it turns out to be very crowded, hehehe. Alright, before entering the main event, namely cutting the ribbon. Let's welcome Mr. Rehan Adiyatma to give his speech. So, give Mr. Rehan a round of applause" said the MC at the event

"Does the event want to start??" Alfa replied and changed the front camera to the rear camera so that Gabriella could see what was happening around her

"Okay, good evening everyone. I am Rehan Adiyatma, the owner of this restaurant which will be opening soon. First of all, thank you for taking the time to attend the opening of the Adiyatma Restaurant. Next, please pray for the blessing that Adiyatma Restaurant will be able to survive and be useful for us. meet the needs of our stomachs" said Mr. Rehan which was able to make the invited guests chuckle a little. "Okay to shorten the time. I finished and I returned to the MC"

"Okay, we will enter the main event, namely CUTTING THE RIBBON... Mr. Rehan is welcome," said the MC invitingly.

Rehan is now standing in front of a long ribbon. A pair of scissors was given by the beautiful woman who carried the tray. After being handed over to Rehan, Rehan will immediately cut the ribbon, a sign that this restaurant will be opened

"Bismillahirrahmanirrahim" Rehan cut the ribbon. Applause and shouts of invited guests filled all corners of the restaurant. "Please enjoy the event," continued Rehan. Gabriella, who was on the other end of the phone, also gave Rehan a round of applause. Alfa changed back his cellphone camera from back to front.

"Alfa, Mamah ended the video call, okay? Please tell to Uncle Rehan, is that, Congratulations on the opening of the restaurant. Next month I will returns to Indonesia, and will stop by there" Ordered by Gabriella.

"Okay, Ma. Take care of your health, Ma!" said Alfa and Sheila together

"You too, right?" Shortly after, Gabriella ended the video call.

This event was so lively. Many couples dance together, there is also a band that accompanies the music between them, adding to the impression of an elegant event. Alfa, Tata, and Sheila looked happy and enjoyed the event. Until they come home

"Thanks fa, for taking me home" said Tata "Would you like to come over to my house, first?" Tata continued her said.

"Ehm, It's not that I want to refuse. But Sheila has fallen asleep in the back" said Alfa watching Sheila behind. At that moment, Tata realized that Sheila had fallen asleep

"Well, Wasn't he excited, before?" said Tata

"Tired maybe. Thank you too, Ta. Keep telling Mama, I'm sorry for taking you home late," said Alfa

"it's okay. Well, I'll get off. Be careful, Fa!" said Tata as he got off the Alfa car.

"Sip" Alpha said and started the car to go home.

Before entering the house. Tata saw a car following where Alfa's car went. Tata felt that something was wrong.

'Hope you are safe' thought Tata with concern.
