BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

The Part 27

At night, the three of them were preparing - ready to leave for the airport. Syifa helped Reyhan pack his clothes into a suitcase.

" The Fa, not too much. I can't stay in Indonesia for long" Reyhan said.

" So you won't settle in Indonesia?" syifa asked with a sharp look.

" Fa, you know I'm taking thousands of employees' lives here. I can't just leave this behind."

" For their sake are you leaving your parents?"

" It's not like that, I'm_..."

" Are you going to forget me for them?"

Reyhan stared fixedly at the face of the girl in front of him. There was disappointment in his eyes. Reyhan doesn't know what to do now. If he settled in Indonesia, what about the business he built with great difficulty so far. Thousands of employees also depend on him.

Reyhan also can not leave Syifa just like that, the girl who has been an encouragement for her life all this time will definitely be hurt.

" Fa, marry me. We'll live here together. Build a small family with affection with our children later." said Reyhan.

" Don't think of me, you have the right to decide your own way of life. My only purpose in coming here was to express my gratitude and devotion to your parents. I just want to fulfill my obligation as a child to carry out my parent's trust."

" That's not the answer I want. Answer me honestly, do you love me?"

" What if I answer that, everything will change?"

" Depending on your heart, all decisions are in your hands."

Reyhan let out a long sigh as he closed his eyes. It's a tough decision to choose one.

" Fa, I won't choose. Everything is very important to me, you, my parents and S. A. Properties. I'll be fair to everything."

" Fair?"

" Yes, will you marry me?"

Syifa thought for a moment while tidying up Reyhan's clothes that did not become packed.

" I thought - think first?" syifa said flat.

" God, how else would I have to get this stubborn girl's heart" Reyhan lamented.

Reyhan hugged Syifa from behind so that the clothes he was carrying scattered to the floor.

" Rihaannn!" peekik Syifa's.

" Answer first, I need certainty from you."

" You I refuse?"

" We're not going home and you're my prisoner here forever."

" If I accept?"

" We're gonna stay here forever with our kids."

" What is the difference between refusing and accepting?"

" No, you'll be free if my life is separated from its body."

Reyhan tightened his arms and leaned his chin on Syifa's shoulder. He knew the girl in his arms was starting to calm down.

" Let go of your arms, we're leaving soon."

" Answer up, baby."

" Yes" answered Syifa briefly.

" Yes what?" reyhan asked with a happy smile.

" Yes, forced!" sahut Syifa.

" Why the hell, baby? Who is sincere dong?"

" Let go first, your clothes are all messy!"

" Leave it, it's the servants' job. Not young Miss Aditama."

Reyhan pulled Syifa's arm into the bed and sat the girl there. Her smile grew perfectly reminiscent of Syifa when Reyhan was with his father and mother first. Reyhan who is usually quiet and prefers to be alone, can joke and laugh happily when with Syifa's parents.

" I saw this smile again after all this time, Rey. You can't show this smile of yours to anyone other than my parents. Now I can see it directly in front of me." Syifa said happily.

Reyhan rests his head in Syifa's lap. There was a longing in his heart when he remembered the figure of Syifa's parents. Those who do not have blood relations alone can give so sincere affection to him.

In the past, Reyhan actually knew that Syifa worked part-time every time she went home from school. But he pretended not to know for fear Syifa was offended if he wanted to help his family's finances.

Unbeknownst to Syifa, Reyhan often brought food ingredients such as rice, oil and others. Although Syifa's parents initially refused, Reyhan was able to convince them that Reyhan also often asked to eat there and had to help with their daily needs.

" Mom and dad are so good, Fa. A bribe of rice they gave me cannot be exchanged for a lump of gold and jewels. You want to hear a secret I've been hiding from you and the other friends?" Reyhan.

" What secret?"

" But promise don't get mad, will you?"

" Yes, say it!"

" I actually know that you work part time after school. Not since you disappeared, but when we were in school."

" That's all?"

" No, actually when you're at work, I often come to your house to ask for food" Reyhan said with a small smile.

" You come home often?"

" Yes, I always miss mom's cooking. It's simple but delicious."

" It's worth the rice at home quickly run out" said Syifa.

" Don't be original, you've been cooking. Who do you think that rice is buying?" sahut Reyhan's.

" Ngasal, that rice I bought."

" Sure' anyway?"

" Truly, once a week I buy groceries. At first my father and mother refused, but I continued to force her. After all, I already considered them as my parents. A child's duty is to reduce the burden on his parents."

" Now do you know how important parents are to their children? As long as we can, don't ever say 'no' to her."

Reyhan felt guilty for both of his parents. He further tightened his hand that was coiling on Syifa's back.

" Never leave me, Fa. Help me to be able to remove my disappointment in papa and mama. I want you to be by my side forever."

" Yes, Rey. I'll always be there for you, never leave you."

Before long, the door of the room was knocked on by someone from outside. Usually only Steven dared to go up to his room. Reyhan immediately moved to open the door.

" Shev, you've come. Is everything ready?"

" Yes, Rey. One more hour private jet takes off."

" Is Cathy coming?"

" No, he went with David."

" All right, you just wait downstairs. I'll be down in a minute."

Reyhan closed the door again and approached Syifa who was waiting for him. With a smile, Reyhan immediately sat down beside Syifa.

" Dear, I actually want to be here with you longer but we don't have time. We should be at Ardan's wedding, he's expecting you to be there."

" Why didn't he tell me if he wanted to get married? Though we met often, but he kept his marriage a secret from me." grumbled Syifa.

" Are you jealous?"

" Here, let's go. I'd like to take a quick dip in mom and dad's grave."

" Yes, honey. Here let me bring it."

Reyhan went downstairs with Syifa's suitcase and bag. Reaching the bottom, Reyhan introduces Syifa and Steven.

" Shev, this is Syifa. You know who he is, right?" Reyhan.

" Yes, Boss. Nice to meet you, Miss Syifa. Me, Steven. Reyhan's assistant at S.A Properties."

" Why is it called S.A Properties?" ask Syifa.

Stev and Reyhan looked at each other and smiled together. Reyhan grabbed Syifa's fingers and held them tightly.

" That's your name, baby. Syifa Azzahra Properties." Reyhan replied.

" really? You must be lying!"

" I never lie, baby. That company I built specifically for you."

" It's up to you!"

Sony was out of his room, and they immediately went to the airport. I can't wait to set foot on the land of birth.

Reyhan continued to hold Syifa's hand without intending to release her for a second. The girl kept trying to take it off but Reyhan's grasp tightened.

" Rey, peeling! I'm not ashamed of anything like that!" sumpul Syifa.

" I'm afraid you're gone again, Fa. I won't let you get away from me." Reyhan said.

" Heh... ngebet very anyway? That's why halalin was my beloved sister!" Sony forcibly removed Reyhan's hand and took Syifa into the car.

" What the hell? Just interrupt!" reyhan was upset.

Syifa already sat in front along with Steven making Reyhan even more upset.

" Miss, you'd better be behind with Reyhan. He can go berserk later." whispered Steven.

" Just leave it, once - not to be obeyed by his unreasonable desires." said Syifa.

" Dear, come down! You're behind me." Reyhan exclaimed.

" What's the difference, Rey? In front or back is also the same - the same sitting." said Syifa held back her smile.

An annoyed Reyhan immediately went back inside the house. Time was running out but they were making endless drama instead.

" Rey, spiel! We're too late!" shouts Syifa.

" Miss, I told you not to upset her. He must have canceled his departure this way." - Steven.

" Why he behaves like a child, likes to sulk." Sony grumbled.

" Yes, I persuaded Reyhan first." said Syifa.

Syifa went into the house looking for Reyhan but there was none. Syifa asked a servant who passed by but did not see him either.

When he was about to go upstairs, Syifa arrived out of one of the guest rooms.

" Rey, don't be mad, okay? Sorry," said Syifa who immediately hugged Reyhan.

Reyhan who was confused by Syifa's attitude suddenly had an idea to work on it.

" Detach! Don't hug me!"
