Chapter 4: AlMa Cake Shop
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After spending more than thirty minutes at Pelita Bunda High School, Zolan drove back to the Hospital. His mind was still thinking about Sindy.
That night was Zolan’s birthday, and it coincided with graduation day. Zolan was waiting for Sindy outside the gate. He had been waiting for an hour, but Sindy had not come yet. Zolan had called her several times, but she didn’t answer. Her phone number was not active anymore. He then opened the gate and came into her house. However, it looked like nobody’s home. He was standing in front of the door, calling out her name, but she was not at home.
Zolan had been waiting for Sindy to come until now. He even asked many people to find her, but he couldn’t make it.
“Beib, I am getting married to a woman that my father had chosen. I love you, and I’ll keep this feeling only for you.” Zolan was so sad.

“Fatma, can you check the cake in the oven? I am still packaging the order!” Aluna shouted to Fatma while packaging the cake.
“Ok, no need shout, Maam! I can hear you”. Said Fatma
“We’re leaving at 4 p.m. I have to do something. I’m afraid you cannot handle it alone.” Said Aluna.
“Ok, then. I also have something to do. It’ll be better to leave at 4 p.m because we’re going to have an exam this week. You know, I’m not as smart as you, so I have to work hard because my father will be outraged if I don’t pass the exam.” Said Fatma while checking the cake.
“It sounds good. We’re close at four starting from today until next week.” They finally settled to close the cake shop at 4 p.m
After the conversation, they started packaging the cake while joking.
AlMa was the cake shop's name, and it was the abbreviation for Aluna and Fatma. They had been close friends since college. Aluna was a brilliant and kind-hearted girl, and Fatma was charming and funny. Fatma was a wealthy girl. She was the one who decided to do business with Aluna. All the capital to start the business was from Fatma. Fatma was like Aluna’s sister, already like her family.
They had been cleaning for two hours, and the cake shop had been well now.
“Fatma, Can I leave first?” Said Aluna
“It’s the first time you ask for my permission, Aluna. You always just leave home without telling me.” Said Fatma
“Hahaha! See you tomorrow.” Replied Aluna. She took her bag and left the shop.
Aluna had arrived at her mother’s grave. After five minutes of standing there, she couldn’t stop her tears and started crying.
“Mom, why should it be him? I want to marry someone I love. I don’t want to marry him.” Aluna sat in front of the grave while crying.
“What will happen with my life after I get married, mom? Can he love me? Can he take care of me? You know I’ve never gotten love from Dad. I didn’t even know what his look was. I’ve never seen him since I was born. I just want to marry with someone I love, mom. This is really not fair. I can’t do this. “ Aluna was so depressed.
Tingg! There’s a massage from Mr Marfel.
“We’ll pick you up at 10 a.m, Mr Marfel asked you to come to the Hospital. You’ll get Married tomorrow.”

*** Today, Aluna woke up earlier because she had to prepare all the things that she need. Not much, it’s just a suitcase, and a box of books. Aluna was looking at her room, “I won’t leave this room, there are so many memories I spent with mom in this room. I won’t bring all my staff.” Yesterday, when Aluna got the message from Mr Marfel, she tried to wake up and convince herself that everything was going to be fine. She realized maybe it was the best for her. Maybe after the marriage she will love him. Aluna also had told Fatma that today the cake shop was close. She couldn’t work in this situation. Aluna didn’t forget to bring her special gift from her Mother, “I will always bring this necklace with me because this is the only thing I have.” Aluna says while looking at her necklace. It was a gift from her father before he died. In a different place, Zolan was holding his Father’s hand in the Hospital. He’s consoling his father by tell
Aluna's Love Wound Chapter 6: Ijab Qabul
Aluna finally met Zolan for the first time. She was surprised because Zolan was handsome and it was beyond her expectation. Zolan has white skin, round eyes, sharp nose, and beard. Aluna still didn’t believe that the handsome man would be her husband. Beside the bed Mr. Marfel, there had been tables and chairs for the marriage. Aluna and Zolan then stepped toward the chair and sit down. Mr Rozi and Zomi had prepared all the marriage document. “Are you ready, Zolan?” “Yes, I’m ready! We can start now.” Zolan says firmly. The situation was very tense. Aluna was so nervous; she was holding her dress tightly. “Ok, Mr Zolan!” Rozi says “Mr Zolan son of Mr Marfel, I marry off Aluna Mentari to you with the dowry a ring in cash”. “I accept her marriage Aluna Mentari the daughter of Roslan with the dowry a ring in cash” “How is it? Legal?” “Legal” Zomi says firmly. Mr Marfel smiled Today, Aluna and Zolan ha
Aluna's Love Wound Chapter 7: Stranger
Aluna folded the white paper in her hand. She was shocked after reading five points that welcome her arrival in this magnificent house. The room was too big for her to occupy alone. But what could she do, Aluna had to sleep here alone. "Alone again, it seems I was created to always be alone," Aluna thought, folding a small piece of paper and storing it in a ring box. Aluna stepped to sit in front of the mirror. Taking off the glasses she was wearing, freeing his hair from the tie, let it fall straight. Her eyes were closed, feeling the wind blowing against his body. He wanted a moment not to see the world. It's sad that fate had scratched it, it's not enough for a day to become a wife, and she had been shocked by the marriage rules made by Zolan. "Always alone, I've been alone since I was little! Mom is busy working to support me, until I can't fully get Mom's love. I'm not angry mom does it to make me happy with an affluent life. But as a child, I also need love!" A
Aluna's Love Wound Chapter 8: What did I do wrong?
*** Aluna entered the lecture hall, "This morning begins with Mr. Anton's course. He is a surgeon. However, he doesn't want us to call him Dr. Anton, he prefers to be called Mr. Anton. Strange, why do you want to be a doctor? If you don't like being called doctor," she thought. Fatma was already in class. Almost all the seats were occupied. Aluna sat in the front, opposite to the lecturer's desk. The seats were always empty if it was not Aluna who occupied. "Let's watch a movie tonight!" said Fatma while sitting in the back seat of Aluna. "I can't Fatma!" said Aluna briefly. "We rarely go out together, Aluna! You are always busy, every time you are asked to go out, you always can't," said Fatma, annoyed at Aluna. "Hehehe, we'll take a walk later," replied Aluna, turning her head to look at Fatma. "How's the cake shop, Aluna? We've been closed for a week. The customers will run away, if it's always closed," said Fatma. T

"Miss Aluna, are you okay?" asked Aunt Sarti. She saw Aluna who kept looking at the floor. Food and plates were not formed."Yes, aunt, I'm fine!" said Aluna, wiping away tears. She was silent for a few minutes. Aunt Sarti had not moved from her place.Taking a breath, Aluna continued to say to Aunt Sarti, "Please, please clean everything, aunt!" She ran leaving aunt Sarti in the dining room. Sounds faint in the ears, Aunt Sarti replied, "Yes, Miss Aluna!" Aluna ran to the room.Aluna stood looking out the window, "Zolan, can't you treat me like a friend? I know you have to accept this arranged marriage! But this is not how you treat me!" softly. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks."Zolan, I won't just give up. I'll fight for you to be my friend. Don't think of me as a wife. I'm just a friend, that's enough for me," continued Aluna, not moving."I will try! Don't call me Aluna, if I give up easily!" she said encouragingly.***"Starti

In the midst of cleaning, Aluna was surprised by Fatma's question."Aluna, do you want me to introduce you to my sister's best friend?" asked Fatma."What did you say?" said Aluna, she was surprised. She turned to Fatma."I want you to have a boyfriend, Aluna! She is Fahmi's best friend! He is not married yet because he said he is still waiting for her ex-lover. He is so handsome Alunaa! It suits you very well. He is handsome and you are beautiful. He is a businessman who has many businesses. He shut himself off from all women who approach him," said Fatma."What do you mean anyway? Who says I'm beautiful. Can't you see the big glasses perched on top of my nose? Can't you see the two hairs tied around my head? Where can a handsome boy look at a girl like me? A girl with two braids!" said Al

Aluna took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, "Fatma, thank you!" she said, Aluna's feeling was better. "You're welcome! You should always tell me when there's a problem. Don't keep it to yourself! What's the point of our friendship?" Fatma said with a gentle smile and held Aluna's hand. "Hahaha," Aluna laughed softly, "if there's something wrong, I'll definitely tell you!" she continued. "Ha ha ha!" their soft laughter wiped the remaining tears on the face. "I'm sorry Fatma, I can't tell you about my marriage, it's about other people's live," Aluna thought. *** Mr Marfel had been allowed to go home this afternoon.

"Young Master used to have a relationship with his school friend. When he was in high school, Young Master loved her very much. Her name is Sindy. Young Master often invites her here. She is a very cheerful girl. Miss Sindy is good at cooking and also easy to get along with. Even though she loves Young Master, she never treats us like assistants. She is also very gorgeous. If we look closely, Miss Sindy is a bit like Miss Aluna. It's just that your appearance is different." There was a pause in her speech. "Sorry, Miss!" Aunt Sarti said with an uncomfortable face. "Just keep going. It's ok," said Aluna with a smile, still wanting to listen. "Miss Sindy also loves Young Master very much. However, Miss Sindy disappeared out of nowhere. Since then, Young Master has changed a lot." Aunt Sarti was silent. Her movements seemed to be waiting for a response from Aluna. Aluna smiled. "Thank you, Aunt Sarti.
