BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

The Part 29

" Well, that's better" Reyhan said with a smile.

Reyhan kissed Syifa's forehead gently and went out of the room to find a chef in the kitchen to make her food.

" Son, who would Ardan marry?" ask Reyhan.

Now Reyhan is sitting on the sofa with Sony while waiting for the food made by the chef in the kitchen.

" I don't know, maybe karma is for him because he often plays with women. He said his future wife was pregnant and held him accountable" Sony said.

" I thought Ardan was just playing outside, it turned out to be that far."

" Ardan was also not sure of doing that with the woman. He said that night they met at a cafe, after which Ardan drove him home to the apartment. At that time he was given a drink until Ardan was unconscious. He fell asleep until the morning in that apartment without knowing what happened."

" Foolish fool! He should have investigated first instead of being directly responsible,"

" It's also true, he's too busy with work that he doesn't have time to think about anything else."

" You're also a doctor, find out how many months pregnant she's been!"

" Do we still have time to investigate Ardan's matter?"

" We think after arriving in Jakarta, when is the marriage contract implemented?"

" Said one o'clock."

" Yes, we're going straight to Ardan's house later from the airport."

" How is Syifa?"

" Let him go home first."

Half an hour waiting, the food was ready at the dinner table. Reyhan immediately returned to the room to invite Syifa to eat.

" Hmmm, he said he was hungry but sleeping." Reyhan murmured.

" Dear, wake up. The food's ready, what's the food brought out here?" said Reyhan gently.

" Sleepy, Rey." murmured Syifa.

" What did you call me?" Reyhan immediately lay down beside Syifa and hugged the girl from behind.

" Call once more like that I'll do more than this!" threaten Reyhan's.

" Iy. yes Mas Reyhan, Syifa forgot." whine Syifa.

" Yes, let's eat. Sony is waiting outside."

Reyhan immediately left Syifa still wrapped in a thick blanket.

Syifa went into the bathroom to wash her matted face and caught Reyhan and Sony in the dining room.

" You're sick, Fa. Really messy in his face? What Reyhan_..."

" Any, not Sony. Syifa fell asleep, Mas Reyhan did not_..." Syifa closed her mouth in embarrassment.

" dude? Since when do you call him that?" sony Cecar.

" What's why? She's my future wife." Reyhan said.

" The Fa,_.." said Sony.

" Yes, sis. Syifa has not had time to tell the same story brother." said Syifa was sad afraid Sony angry.

" You didn't have to, did you?" search Sony.

" Of course, eat here. He said he was hungry, honey?" suhut Reyhan pulled Syifa's arm to sit next to him.

The three of them ate quietly. No one speaks at mealtime. Syifa felt Sony's gaze on her was a little different than usual. After eating, Sony invited Syifa to talk alone and Reyhan had to stay away.

" Did Sony disagree that Syifa accepted Reyhan's love?" syifa said slowly.

" Did you ever say that? Brother just doesn't want you to get too close to him right now. Especially just the two of you in the room."

" Yes, Syifa's sorry."

" I don't need an apology, sister just wants you to take care of yourself and your honor as a girl. You're not married yet, you don't want to take any sin for letting you break the line."

" Yes, sis. Syifa promises will not break boundaries. Reyhan wouldn't do that either. Trust us."

" Hopefully, I don't want what happened to Ardan to happen to you."

Syifa was surprised to hear Ardan's name called. Ardan never told him anything. Syifa was very curious about Ardan at this time who suddenly got married without her knowledge.

" Why Ardan, brother?"

" He was in a raid in an apartment of a woman he had only known for a few days. Now he's gonna have to take responsibility for that woman."

" Athaghfirullah, Ardan can't possibly do that."

" Once, now you rest there. Inget! Don't go to a room with Reyhan!"

" Yes, sis. Syifa won't room with Reyhan."

" Hurry in the room and lock the door!"

Sony escorted Syifa into the room and reminded her to lock it. No one should enter his room. (Sony brother so over protective 😤 ).

It had been an hour for Reyhan to wait for Syifa, but the girl did not return to the room either. Tired of waiting for Reyhan out looking for Syifa.

" Son, where's Syifa?" asked Reyhan who saw Sony playing games on his laptop.

" I'm asleep, what do you want to find Syifa?" sony is focusing on its laptop screen.

" No, I don't think he's asleep. You haven't been back to the room yet."

" So you wish you'd slept in a room with Syifa?" hardik Sony's.

Reyhan was shocked to see Sony arrive - suddenly angry at him. Reyhan did not feel wrong about her. The trance of what the man arrived - suddenly acting cynical to him.

" Why did you get angry?" ask Reyhan.

" Rey, I need to have a serious talk with you. Not as a friend, but as Syifa's sister." Sony closed his laptop and looked seriously at Reyhan.

" What are you talking about?"

" Before you and Syifa get married, you can't stay in one house. So, for a while Syifa has to stay with me."

" Why should you stay at your house? In my house there are mama and papa, we don't room either." Reyhan refused.

" Rey, this is for your own good, too. If you're serious about marrying Syifa, marry her immediately."

" Son, I wasn't in Indonesia long either. You know my job in New York very much. I promise I'll take good care of Syifa. We're friends not just two days a day, trust me."

" I wish you could keep that promise."

" Thank you, you're my best friend. I won't let you down."

The two of them talked until late at night until finally decided to sleep in their respective rooms.

After a dozen hours in the plane, Syifa finally landed at Soetta Airport. A very tiring journey for Syifa, Reyhan and Sony.

In the waiting room, Deni was already waiting for their arrival. Syifa who saw Deni sitting directly ran up to him.

" Assalamu'alaikum, Deni's brother." said Syifa.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, Fa." replied Deni.

" Alone, brother?"

" Well, who else is the same?"

" Sister didn't tell Danang that Syifa's coming home today?"

" Athaghfirullah, brother forgot. You see, yesterday the office works a lot, Fa. I didn't get to meet Danang. Reyhan also said suddenly to pick me up."

" Assalamu'alaikum, brother." say Reyhan and Sony.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, let's just go home" Deni said.

" Deni brother and Syifa went home first, me and Sony have a business for a while" Reyhan said.

" Okay, Young Master."

" Where are you going, Mom?" ask Syifa.

" Want to go to Ardan's house for a while, you go home with Deni?"

" Can't come?" syifa whinek.

" You must be tired, take a break only later at noon to Ardan's house." Reyhan persuaded.

" Come, Rey. We don't have much time!" exciting Sony.

Reyhan persuades Syifa to go home with Deni. Just this time Syifa looked very spoiled at him. Reyhan gently rubbed the top of Syifa's head and led her into the car.

" God come home soon, don't frown like that." Reyhan said.

" Oh yeah, it can't take long!"

" Yes, honey. Hurry in, I love you." whispered Reyhan.

" Hmm.." replied Syifa briefly.

After Syifa's car leaves, Reyhan and Sony immediately look for a taxi that will take them to Ardan's house.
