BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

The Part 18

" Mama asked you to find Reyhan, Fa." Mama Salma's pinta.

" You mean mama?" syifa did not understand.

" Meet Reyhan in America, take him home. Mama misses him so much." said mama.

Syifa seemed silent at the thought of her mother's request. He could not resist but was also very heavy if he had to obey.

" Fa, would you grant your mother's request?" ask papa Hendra.

" Yes, Pa. Syifa's coming after Reyhan to America. Mama don't worry, Syifa will definitely bring Reyhan home."

" Thank you, baby." said Papa with a smile.

" Then Syifa came out first Pa,"

" You better go to the office, Fa. There's a lot of work to be done before you leave for America."

" But, Pa_..."

" It's okay, there's papa here."

After saying goodbye, Syifa exited the IGD room towards the parking lot. When he got in the car, someone called him.

" Shypah...!"

Yeah, he's Ardan who just got out of his car. He slightly ran over to Syifa with a smile.

" Ardan, are you here?" ask Syifa.

" Yes, there's an appointment with Sony. Wanna come?"

" I have to go to the office, I have a lot of work to do."

" A minute, Fa. We haven't been together for a long time."

" Promise won't be long?"

" Yes, I promise just a minute."

Syifa and Ardan walked together towards Soni's room on the fifth floor. They were silent all the way because Syifa seemed unfocused while walking. He nearly hit people a few times if Ardan hadn't pulled his body.

Arriving at the Sony room, Syifa immediately sat down while turning her eyes to the aquarium in the corner of the room in which there was a pair of koi fish that were very beautiful color.

" A, are you here too?" ask Sony.

" Yes, I met Ardan in the parking lot" replied Syifa lethargic.

" Where are you from?"

" So you came here, when I was about to go to the office mama passed out."

" Aunty Salma is sick?" ask Ardan.

" Don't know yet, wait for the results of laboratory tests first."

Sony saw the look on Syifa's face that looked not excited. The girl was more often moody and seemed to have no spirit.

" Fa, are you in trouble?" search Sony.

" No, sis. It's just_..." Syifa hesitated to tell her two best friends.

" Just say it, Fa. The two of us will always be there for you" Ardan said.

Syifa looked at her two best friends in turn and let out a long sigh. He still doubts his own decision.

" Fa, why silence?" sony.

" Mm... Mamma... Mama asked me to pick Reyhan up." Syifa said, laying her head on the table.

" Pick Reyhan up? Do you know Reyhan's home address in New York?"

" No, I only know his office address."

" When did you leave?"

" Maybe tomorrow, I'll rearrange the office schedule today."

" Can't it go down the day after tomorrow? Tomorrow I have a meeting in Bali can not accompany you, Fa." said Ardan.

" Yes, Fa. Tomorrow I also seminar in Bandung can not come with you." added Sony.

" It's okay, I can go alone" Syifa said.

In fact Ardan and Sony did not allow Syifa to go alone to a country far enough away. But they also could not accompany Syifa because of their respective work that could not be left behind.

" Fa, you're heart-heart huh? Keep us informed of whatever's going on there." Ardan's message.

" God willing, pray that Reyhan will come home with me."

" Reyhan would love to, he loves you so much" Ardan said.

" You know, but you're still after Syifa!" ketus Sony's.

" I'm like Reyhan, I love Syifa. But I was unlucky, Reyhan's love turned out to be huge for Syifa." Ardan glanced at the silent Syifa with a smile.

" I know you love Reyhan too, pursue your love. Don't let him get your replacement."

" I didn't expect Reyhan to come back to me. The important thing right now is to get Reyhan back to his family and I can leave the Aditama family quietly."

" Fa, are you sure you'll do that?" ask Sony.

" Yes, sis. I want Reyhan back to his family and the three of you to be able to make friends like before me."

Ardan and Sony stared in disbelief at Syifa who had made the decision without thinking about the consequences. They want to prevent it, but Syifa is currently not able to think well. It was free, because the girl must have been muddled with her decision.

" No need to think about it first. You have to calm down and think positive, everything will return to how it used to be and the four of us will never be apart" Ardan said.

The three of them hugged each other before Syifa said goodbye to immediately go to the office. Surely Deni now works alone in the office.

Arriving at the office, Syifa went straight into her room to change her schedule this week. He didn't know when he was in America.

" O God, strengthen me against all this. I wish I could meet Reyhan and bring him back to his family." murmured Syifa.

" A, have you come?" greet Deni.

" Eh. yes, brother. Just arrived." said Syifa a little surprised.

" Morning - morning already dumb, thinking girlfriend huh?" ledek Deni's.

" Oh yes, until I forget. Good thing Deni reminded."

Syifa grabbed the phone in front of her and told someone to bring her food and drinks.

" Whose phone, Fa?"

" Dream boyfriend. hehehee."

" It must be Danang.. hahahaa,"

Before long the person they were talking about came with Syifa's order. He only smiled shyly as Syifa greeted him with a smile.

" Danang, thank you. Very nice of you, come with me in the afternoon, okay?" syifa.

" Where are you going, Non?" asked Danang without looking at Syifa.

" Just come along, now you're back at work."

" Good, Non."

After Danang left, Deni laughed out loud. She felt Syifa's mannerisms were funny and strange.

" Why is Deni laughing?" ask Syifa while eating her delayed breakfast.

" Hahaha... Would you like to ask the OB for a date?"

" What's why? I think he's a good friend, he really appreciates women."

" If he really likes you how?"

" Danang is not like that, I'm sure he just thinks I'm a friend. We both talked a lot and he was really fun. Behind his shyness, his words are very wise."

" Gosh, don't don't don't don't be the same dick, Danang,"

" Isa. this big brother, Syifa can't possibly like him. He's more fitting to be a friend, he always has a solution when Syifa's in need of a chatmate."

" Yes, I want to prepare the meeting file first."

" Wait, brother!"

" What's up?"

Syifa hesitates to ask Deni for his opinion about him picking up Reyhan in America.

" Mm... Syifa's gonna pick Reyhan up?"

" Royal Reyhan home? When?"

" No, but my mom asked Syifa to catch up with Reyhan and bring him home. Mama's sick now, Syifa can't refuse mama's request."

" You want to go to America? But, Fa.. are you sure you're going to see Reyhan? Didn't he leave because he didn't want to see you again?"

" I know, brother. But for mom's sake, Syifa would do anything. I don't have anyone anymore, even though I ain't nobody gonna lose."

" Fa, you can't talk like that. Many people love you."

Syifa smiled and opened her laptop to return to work. Deni felt Syifa was very different from the first time they met. Ever since meeting Reyhan, Syifa has looked moody and uninspired. There was no smile on the girl's face.
