150 Days Wedding Dilemma

Chapter 23 - Guilty Feelings

Zico stopped his car right in front of Aletta's house. But Zico did not get out of the car, he just clicked the car to get Aletta out. Fortunately with just a single horn, Aletta went straight out of her house.

Aletta locked the door to her house first, only then approached Zico's car. He opened the door of Zico's car and sat down next to the man.

"Hi" said Aletta as soon as she saw Zico.

Zico just smiled back at him, then started driving his car to the police station they were going to.

"Zico, thank you for helping me again. I'm sorry, for always having to take care of you." Aletta said as she looked at Zico with a bad feeling.

"I told you, you don't have to apologize. Some of you are my friend, so whenever you need help .. yes I will help you as much as I can." Zico retorted while looking at Aletta at a glance, then looked back at the road in front of him.

Aletta smiled, she felt lucky because she had Zico. When he was in trouble, Zico was always there for him. Although Zico's status is married, but the man always took the time if Aletta asked for help. "Oh, yes! I was just wondering, at that time you left me without news at the mall. You said you wanted to go to the toilet, but instead said no back and forth. Where the hell were you at that time?" ask Aletta.

Zico cleared his throat slowly, trying to rack his brain to find a reason Aletta could accept. It is impossible if he answers that he left Aletta, because he saw Sally. "Oh, that time. I ... brother from the toilet, just suddenly there is a sudden business. So I went straight away, kept forgetting about you. Sorry, yeah."

Zico hopes Aletta believes the reason, though a little unconvincing. But hopefully Aletta doesn't know if she's lying right now. Could be upset if Aletta found out.

Aletta looked at Zico, trying to see what the man said was true or just plain reasonable. But seeing that Zico had no suspicious expression, Aletta believed him. "Yaudah if so, gapapa. But next time if there's business, let me not wait kayak kemaren."

Zico nodded with a smile. "Yes, sorry."

Zico breathed a sigh of relief, it was fortunate that Aletta believed in his words. Otherwise, Aletta would definitely continue to suspect him. Zico again focused on driving his car to where they were headed, before they went last night.

Sally stared at the road from Devian's car window in silence, watching the vehicle pass by with a straight look. The sky that was still showing a little light, now really has changed to dark. The streets that were once empty, are now more congested because they coincide with the hours of returning home from work.

On the other hand, Devian looked at Sally who looked different than usual. He believes this must be because of Zico, it makes Devian more upset with his best friend. Later he will talk to Zico, to pay more attention to his attitude.

"Sal" said Devian, opening talks between them.

Sally looked at Devian. "Why?" ask Sally.

"When we get a gift for Abel, you suddenly say. Where were you going that time?" Devian recalled the time when Sally just suddenly did not exist after she returned.

Sally was aghast as soon as she remembered it, she forgot to tell Devian that time. Instantly he felt guilty towards Devian. "Dev, I forgot to tell you. Sorry, yes. At that time I came home first, because there was .. sudden business." Sally is forced to lie to Devian, because it is impossible if she says that she met Zico and Aletta in the same place.

Devian smiled with admiration, knowing that Sally had no intention of leaving. There must have been something that made the woman leave and forget to tell him. "Yes, gapapa kok. I understand," replied Devian.

"Dev, what about the card? Abel likes it?" sally asked as she remembered Devian's sister.

"Like, he likes it. He said thanks to you, for choosing a gift for him. Abel also said he really wanted to meet, if there was time."

Sally smiled happily to hear it, she was relieved if Abel liked the gift chosen by her. "I'll come to your house sometime. I want to see Abel, ", Sally said enthusiastically.

Devian smiled. "Abel will definitely be very happy to meet you."

Sally laughed softly, for a moment she could forget what she was thinking thanks to Devian. Had he met Devian earlier than Zico, he might have liked Devian. Moreover, Devian was very pleasing to his people, kind, and also sincere. He also does not need to marry Zico and feel the marriage is only temporary.

Unfortunately it was just a fantasy of Sally that would never come true.

"Sal, look back."

Sally was a little confused, but she kept following Devian and looked back. "Why?" tanyanya still did not understand.

"The car behind me seemed to be following us, deh." Devian watched the car in the back of the rearview mirror of his car.

Sally was flabbergasted, she looked back at the car behind her. "Try you speed deh, if the car behind the speeding means that the car is following us."

Devian nodded, he drove his car faster than before. While Sally continued to pay attention to the car in the back, to see if the car was speeding or not. But what happened was that the car also speeded as if it did not want Devian's car away.

"Dev, the car in the back is speeding. He's really following us now." Sally spoke in a panic.

"Sal, you calm down. I'd be more speeding to avoid that car, you're a tight grip!" After saying that, Devian increased the speed of his car.

Sally immediately held on tightly to the handle that was in the car cabin. His heart was beating rapidly with hands that started to let out cold sweat. His heart fretted at the car behind which remained vociferously chasing after Devian's car.

While Devian, he overtakes the vehicles in front of him so he can stay away. He tried to stay away from the car behind him, but apparently the car also did not want to lose and equalize the position. The car is right next to Devian.

Sally was surprised to see the car that had been quite far behind her, now suddenly was next to Devian's car. "Dev, the car is right next to us now. Who are they really? Why are they following us?" Sally was really scared right now.

Devian is still focused on overtaking other vehicles and raising the speed of his car higher than before. At first glance he saw the car chasing him back left behind, but Devian still did not want to let his guard down. It could be that the car again equalized its position as before.

Sally clung tightly to the handle in the car cabin, occasionally looking back to ensure the distance of the car chasing them. When looking at their distance with the car chasing her far enough away, Sally felt a little relieved. Even if it does not eliminate the panic.

"Dev, in front there is a turn and fitting really they are still a bit far away. We just overtake the car in front to cover your car from them, the abis immediately turn. I think that they could lose track of us and we could escape." Sally tells Devian to turn to the fork in front of them.

"Yes, Sal. You watch them, yeah, tell me their moves." Devian immediately overtakes the truck in front of him, then turns when the corner in front of him is close.

Sally was still watching the car behind her, to see if the car was still chasing them or not after turning the corner. For a long time he looked back, until finally he turned back to the front.

"Where are they still?" ask Devian.

Sally shook her head. "Udah no, like they lost track of us."

Devian breathed a sigh of relief to hear him, he again lowered the speed of his car. "Alhamdulillah, if so. But I'm still curious, what is the purpose of them chasing us? If you make robbing, they should immediately threaten us right next to us earlier. But there was nothing, something strange."

Sally flinched for a moment to think, she began to match this incident with the events that happened while with Zico last time. Are the two related? Because at that time, Zico's car was suddenly intercepted by several people. It was the same when the people did not intend to rob him and Zico, more than just want to harm.

After a long time flinching about the possibilities in his mind, Sally turned to look at Devian. "I think you are, they are not robbers. Is it possible they were someone's man?"

Devian turned to look at Sally. "Maybe, but this is still an assumption. We don't know what it really is, whether they're a man's errand or something else."

Sally was about to say Devian's words, but she interrupted. His eyes widened to see Devian's car window. "Dev!" sally panicked.

Hearing Sally's panicked voice, Devian took notice of Sally's gaze. When he saw it he was surprised. Without lingering, Devian again accelerated the speed of his car. He thought the car that was chasing him had lost track of him, but it turned out to be wrong. Suddenly they were back next to his car.

At first he was able to get back away from the car of people who wanted to chase him, but again they equalized his position. But not for long the car next to him suddenly overtakes him and is in front of him.

"Dev, they seem to be deliberately trying to get our way." Sally spoke in a panic.

"I'll find a way to get away from them."

Devian was about to overtake through the side lane, but the car in front of him actually went to the side and blocked his path. It seemed like there was no other choice, he had to turn around quickly before the car in front of him again intercepted his car.

Eventually Devian decided to turn around as quickly as possible. He was about to turn his car around, behind him, and there was no other vehicle. But he had not been able to turn back, suddenly the car in front of him moved away from his presence quickly. Just as the car was getting out of the way, there was a truck from the opposite direction that was speeding towards him.

"Dev beware!" sally shouted as soon as she saw the truck car that was not far in front of her speeding towards them.

Panicked Devian saw the truck almost approaching his car, slamming the steering wheel to the left quickly.

Sally looked up at the tall pole that was right in front of them. "ASTAGHIRULLLAH." Sally again shouted seeing the distance of Devian's car and the pole was very close.

Everything seemed to happen so quickly, even Devian's car hit the pole in front of him unavoidably. It caused Sally's head to hit the car window very tight. While Devian bounced forward, but not to hit the car dashboard.

Smoke started coming out from the front of Devian's car, therefore he quickly removed his seat belt and Sally. Then bring Sally who is still holding her head to get out of the car.

"Sally, you're gapapa? I'm sorry, because I'm you're a gini." Devian said softly.

Sally held back her his hissing, she turned to look at Devian who was looking at her worriedly. "I'm gapapa, anyways this is not your fault. It's a pure accident and we can't avoid it. You don't feel guilty, yeah." Sally flinched towards Devian.

Devian was shocked when he saw Sally's forehead spitting out blood. "Sal, your forehead is bleeding. We're going to the hospital now yeah, I don't want you to do anything."

Sally held onto her forehead and it was true that her hand was hit by blood the moment it touched her. "No, this is nothing. I just want to go home now" Sally replied.

"Yes, I will definitely bring you home. But we go to the hospital first yes," Devian persuaded.

Sally shook her head. "I want to go straight home, let me make my own medicine at home."

Devian surrendered, he no longer persuaded Sally. But he was confused, because the car is not being used now. He couldn't get Sally to her car. "Yaudah, I anterin you take a taxi. The car can't be made now, but why can't it be taken by my men later."

Sally just nodded, she felt dizzy from the impact earlier. As a result, he just silently looked at Devian who was looking for a taxi. Fortunately it didn't take long, a taxi passed in front of him. Sally and Devian immediately enter and head to Zico's house.

In the taxi Sally just shook with her eyes closed, because her head felt throbbing pain. Devian, who saw her feeling more guilty towards Sally, knew she was in pain right now. If only he could choose, it would be better for him to get hurt than Sally.

Devian takes his eyes off Sally, he pulls out his phone and presses Zico's contact. After that he called Zico, sometimes he looked at Sally while waiting for Zico to pick up his call.

"Hallo, Dev!"
