Valen got in his car. As he was about to turn on his statr, he saw the figure of a man wearing a black hat, his face covered in a mask was scouting. Valen squatted out the car glass. The man walked away from where Valen was trying to escape from.
" You want to play with me, you don't know that I have an intelligent soul." Monologue Valen grinning.
Valen got out of the car, he ran after the man without the man's knowledge. On the road, the man took a taxi. Valen immediately pulled a taxi behind him
" Sir, follow the cab in front of it." Valen said to the driver.
" Good Miss." Sahut Taxi Driver.
The ride was almost an hour but the taxi was driven by the stalker man and did not stop. Shortly after, the taxi stopped in front of a simple courtyard. Even very simple and far from the word decent in general. Valen's taxi stopped on a road not far from the house.
" Whose house is that?" Valen Mumbled.
" You may go, I have sent a message to my friend to pick up, this is the fare sir thank you." Said Valen giving five pieces of money a hundred thousand.
" It's mostly Miss." Said Driver to return the rest of the money.
" The rest is for the father." Valen.
" Thank you very much Miss." Sahut Driver's.
Valen walked towards the house. Arriving at the door he heard the conversation of the people in the house.
" Where are you?"
" The voice..." Valen muttered that he felt familiar with the voice. Valen peeked in between the slightly open door.
Degs....
That old man....
Valen rounded his eyes, he closed his mouth with both hands so as not to make a sound.
" Papa answered where you are Arsya." Jerking Papa Jordan.
Yep... That man is his father-in-law. And the stalker was Arsya whom Valen believed to be the first child of her parents-in-law who was sick.
" Why does Papa know about my activities?" Ask Arsya.
" Arsya, Papa told you to stop being a stalker your brother-in-law, she's Arsya's brother's wife." Said Papa Jordan.
" But I like it Pa, and I'll take it from you." Arsya Sahut.
Jeduars.....
Valen's body felt stiff could not be moved. Liked it? Is Arsya crazy? How Arsya likes Valen when they have never met. Is there anything Valen missed?
" Arsya stopped playing games with your brother's family especially your brother-in-law Son, he's not Arsya's random person, do you not realize we live like this because of Papa who is looking for trouble with him." Said Papa Jordan.
" I don't care Pa, I'll get what I want, I'll take Valen from Abang and I'll accept Brother's son as my own son." Arsya Sahut.
" Asha." Jerking Papa Jordan.
" He's Arsya's brother's wife..." Go with Papa Jordan.
" Heh Brother.... The brother who never thought of us as his family." Arsya.
" Why can you say that?" Ask Papa Jordan.
" The proof is that we live miserable she doesn't know Pa, even asking us if we don't." Arsya
" It's not my brother who won't ask us about Arsya, but it's Papa and Mama who cut off contact with them, Papa is ashamed.... Papa was ashamed of what Papa did to your brother all this time... Your treatment from childhood was helped by Grandpa Ardi, the father of Papi Abang until you could recover as now, and you know? All Papa owes his Papa Meli, Valen is the one who paid him Arsya, but what did Papa do to them? Papa tried to separate your brother from his wife, Papa was ashamed of Arsya." Papa Jordan is sorry.
" But I love Valen Pa, the woman who helped me from the dead." Arsya
" She's an angel-hearted woman, son, it doesn't hurt if you like her, but it's a big mistake if you want to snatch her from your brother." Papa Jordan said.
" Our life is difficult, even Papa, Mama and your sister Rasya have to work hard to meet all our needs, Papa does not want us to get new problems Arsya, Arsya, so Papa begs you very much, forget about your feelings for Valen, look for other women and never bother your brother's family again, let them be happy without us." Papa Jordan said.
Arsya looked at her Papa with sadness. Will his actions be fatal to his family? And what about his love? Arsya recalled a few years ago when he was treated in a famous hospital in a neighboring country.
The Flashback
At that time Arsya exited the room using his wheelchair. He wanted to get out of the hospital to the park in front of the hospital to relieve the boredom that whack because during the treatment he was only in the room. Arsya enters the elevator with a woman who is none other than Valen. Arsya seemed to have trouble pushing her wheelchair into the elevator. Seeing that Valen offered Arsya a favor.
" Can I help you?" Ask Valen.
(Can I help you?)
" Yes please." Arsya Sahut.
Valen helped push Arsya's wheelchair into the elevator.
" I'm going to the ground floor, if you?" Ask Valen.
(I want to go to the ground floor, if you?)
" Mee too." Arsya Sahut.
(I am too)
Valen pushed the first floor button. The elevator started moving.
" Are you Indonesian? If you see from your face you are Indonesian." Valen looked at Arsya.
(Are you Indonesian? If you look at your face, you are Indonesian)
" Yes Im Indonesian." Arsya Sahut.
(I am an Indonesian)
" That means you speak Indonesian donk?" Ask Valen.
" Could, thank you for helping me." Arsya Sahut.
" Same, oh yea know me Valen of Jakarta." Valen.
" I'm Fathan." Arsya Sahut.
The two of them were silent, not knowing what to talk about. Valen wanted to ask about Arsya's disease but he was afraid that Arsya would be offended. Until the elevator stops.
" Good, it looks like the elevator's dead." Valen.
" We're stuck in this elevator?" Ask Arsya.
" It looks like it might take some time for us to get out of here." Valen Sahut.
Arsya doesn't answer anymore. Valen looked towards Arsya. Suddenly Arsya shivered and her breath stung.
" Fathan why are you?" Valen asked crouched down in front of Arsya.
Arsya did not flinch, she continued to shiver with increasingly stingy breath.
" Good God, why is this.... Please.please." Shouted Valen trying to bang on the elevator door hoping for help to come. But luck does not side with them today because there seems to be no outside authority.
Valen crouched back in front of Arsya. He looked at Arsya with a pity. His mind drifted to think of what ways could help Arsya.
" What should I do?" Valen muttered his brain.
" Artificial breath.. Yes I have to give him artificial breath, otherwise he'll die and I'll get in trouble for this." Think Valen.
A crazy idea came to Valen's mind. He did not care if the way was wrong or right, he was stricken with an overwhelming panic this time. He did not want to see anyone die in front of him.
Valen moved his face forward, he held Arsya's head and Valen slowly gave an artificial breath to Arsya hoping Arsya's condition could improve.
Miraculously...
Slowly Arsya's breathing returned to normal, but her body was still shivering. Valen took Arsya down from his wheelchair and sat her down on the elevator floor. He took off his jacket and put it on Arsya. Valen hugged Arsya like a kangaroo mother hugging her child. He tried to give warmth to Arsya. Arsya's heart skipped a beat, there was a strange sigh in her heart. Arsya promises that if he is healed, he will find Valen until he meets and will marry him.
Flashback Off
" Arya you're listening to Papa right?" Papa Jordan's question made Arsya aware of his daydream.
" Yes Pa." Arsya Sahut.
While outside the door, Valen still faithfully listened to the conversation of the two people inside there. Until someone's voice shocks him.
" Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Valen turned his head to the origin of the voice, and.....
Who Him???
