BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
The Part 25
" Akhkhh...!!!" peekik Syifa's.
Without seeing who hugged him, Syifa kept struggling trying to break away. With all his might he continued to thrash and scream but the burly hand immediately smothered his mouth.
" Syifa, calm down." whispered the man.
Hearing that familiar voice, Syifa immediately fell silent then cried. The man turned Syifa's body around and then carried her into his arms.
" Rey_.." isak Syifa.
" I'm sorry, Sya." said Reyhan.
Reyhan clutched Syifa even tighter and did not want the girl to leave him again.
Reyhan Flashback
Upon entering the hall where the event was held, Reyhan saw a girl holding a baby in her cradle. Looking at the posture from behind alone, Reyhan felt that something was pulling his heart closer to the girl.
" Stev, you guys go in first and I'll catch up." Reyhan whispered.
" Okay, Boss." Steven replied.
Reyhan drew closer to the girl and was shocked to find out who the girl before him was now. When he wanted to get to Syifa, Reyhan heard the outpouring of hearts of girls who had been looking for days.
Reyhan almost came crying to hear the words of the girl he loved so much. It turned out that all this time the girl only looked tough outside, her heart was so weak.
Seeing Syifa who turned and walked towards him, Reyhan immediately hid behind a large pole. He continued following Syifa until the girl entered a room.
Flashback off
Syifa punched Reyhan in the chest to vent her heart's irritation. Reyhan was silent while gently rubbing Syifa's hair gently.
" Why did you leave me, Rey?" isak Syifa's.
" I'm sorry, Fa. I'm wrong" said Reyhan.
Reyhanpun also shed tears, his longing seemed to spill just like that when holding the girl he loved so much.
" We're home, huh? I miss you so much, Fa." Reyhan whispered.
" But Rey_..."
" Ssttt. We're leaving now."
" But I haven't paid my respects to the caretaker, Rey?"
" It's okay, come back later. Sony's here right now, he's inside with my assistant and secretary."
" Oh yeah, I took my stuff first in the room and said goodbye to the caretaker in the nursery."
" I'm coming! I won't let you go again until your wedding day comes."
Syifa instantly fell silent and stared intently at Reyhan's face in wonder.
" Married? Who wants to get married?" ask Syifa and untangle Reyhan's embrace.
" Aren't you going to marry Ardan?"
" Who said Ardan and I were getting married? So you left because he was at the office when he picked me up?" search Syifa.
" It's not so, he said Ardan was getting married the day after tomorrow and he asked me to look for you because if you don't there's not going to be a marriage."
" I just didn't know that Ardan wanted to get married, he didn't even invite me." said Syifa.
" So aren't you Ardan's future wife?"
" What the hell is Rey! I'm not marrying anyone!"
Reyhan immediately developed his smile and pulled the girl's body into his arms again.
" Marry me, I've fulfilled all your requests" Reyhan whispered.
" Detach! What if someone sees?" sumpul Syifa.
" Answer I just let go" Reyhan grinned.
" I never asked you anything."
When Syifa was struggling to be released, suddenly mistress Theresa came to them.
" Syifa, Mr Reyhan? You guys know each other?"
Syifa instantly broke free from Reyhan's embrace which loosened her embrace. Syifa was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after escaping from Reyhan.
" Eh, yes, ma'am. He's the guy I'm looking for,"
" Oh, is Mister Reyhan you're looking for? Thank goodness you met."
" Mrs Theresa, I will take Syifa home right now. No problem, right?" Reyhan.
" Of course, Mr. Reyhan. Please."
After saying goodbye to the caretaker, Reyhan invited Syifa to his private home by taxi. Arriving in Reyhan's courtyard, Syifa was shocked to see how magnificent the house was. Around him was a neatly lined flower garden making Syifa involuntarily smile.
" Do you like it, baby?" Reyhan tightened his arms from behind.
Syifa who was shocked by Rey's embrace immediately shouted and hit the hand that was coiled on her stomach.
" No, I won't let you walk away from me anymore."
" Rey! I don't like you like this to me!"
Seeing the look on Syifa's face that was bent, Reyhan immediately broke his embrace.
" Don't be angry, I'm sorry. I'm just afraid you're gone again." Reyhan knelt before Syifa with a sad face.
Syifa could not hold back her tears and ran to a long bench in the garden beside the house. It's not that Syifa wants to reject Reyhan's love, but she feels inferior seeing how successful Reyhan is right now. Syifa felt small before Reyhan, feeling unworthy to be by his side.
" Fa, is there not a little love for me? I can't live without you."
" It's not like that, Rey. I feel unworthy of you. You see, our differences are far-reaching. I feel so low in front of you."
" What are you thinking? I never looked down on anyone including you."
" I_..."
" Enough, Fa! Who do you think I got all this for? All this is yours."
" What do you mean, Rey?" ask Syifa surprised.
" This house, S.A Properties. I built all this on your request."
" I never asked for anything, Rey."
" You remember five years ago when I left you? Actually I don't want to go, but since you're the one who asked me to be successful and independent without relying on anyone, this is now the result. All this I did for you. Even until I don't get to meet my parents."
Reyhan sat next to Syifa while staring at the scorching sky. He let out a long breath and then threw it away violently.
" Go home, Rey. Papa and mom are so worried about you."
" Not me, but you. Mama was so worried when she found out you disappeared in a country of people."
" Have you returned to Indonesia?"
" Yes, when I called papa she said she was sick, so I went straight home. When you got there, he said you came looking for me. Your phone's off, too, I'm afraid something bad happened to you."
" I don't think you care about me anymore, Rey. In front of the office, I saw you in the car. I screamed to call you but you didn't want to stop."
Reyhan re-captured Syifa's body affectionately. Once - a time Reyhan landed his kiss on her girl's forehead.
" I'm sorry, I was in a hurry because there was a meeting and I was calling someone."
" I'm scared, Rey. Afraid of not seeing you again."
" Don't be afraid anymore, from this moment on I will always look after and protect you."
" I want to go home, Rey."
" This is your house too, dear. We're gonna start a new life here, I promise I won't let you down."
" Rey, mom misses you so much. Go home, whatever your relationship was they're still your real parents."
" I'm used to it without them, Fa. My life has woken up here, I want you to accompany me here forever."
Syifa parsed her embrace and stood at a distance from Reyhan. He knew Reyhan was still disappointed by his parents' attitude first. But as time goes on, everyone can change.
" Rey, we need to go home. They're your parents, don't you think you should behave like that?"
" Honestly, I'm still disappointed in them, Fa. I'm not ready to get close to them anymore."
" Rey, no matter how bad they treat you, it's still blood running through your body."
" Yes, I know. But I still have a lot of work here."
" Just the job you're thinking about!" peekik Syifa's.
" Dear, why get angry. I'm doing all this for our future."
Syifa looked at Reyhan fixedly and sharply. There was a hint of disappointment in his heart when he could not persuade Reyhan to return to his parents.
" Well if you don't want to go home, the important thing is that I've met you and delivered your parents' request. My job is done, we will never see each other again." Syifa said with tears slowly dripping down.
Syifa grabbed the bag she had placed on the bench and left the Reyhan residence.
" Where are you going?"
" My duty has failed, Mr. Reyhan. That means I can no longer continue this work. Excuse me, sir." said Syifa with a flat expression.
" Fa, don't go. I know you've been disappointed with my attitude all along. But please, never leave me."
" Can't, from the beginning of my life it's been alone and forever won't change."
" We're going home tonight."
