BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
The Part 32
Reyhan sat beside his mother while waiting for Syifa who had not yet come down from his room.
" Syifa, isn't she down yet, Rey?" ask mama Salma.
" No, Ma. You were sleeping when Rey went to her room." replied Reyhan.
Before long, Syifa came and sat beside Deni making Reyhan look at her sharply. Syifa just ignored and took Deni's phone lying on the table. To open the screen, Syifa pulled Deni's hand to paste her fingerprints.
" What the hell, Fa? What are you looking for on my phone?" ask Deni.
" Is there a Danang number, brother? Syifa wants to take the car." replied Syifa.
" No, just find the person in the office later also met." said Deni.
" Of course, you guys eat first. Later again talk when it's finished eating." exclaimed mama Salma.

Syifa and Reyhan come with Deni to the office because they want to find Danang. Arriving at the office, Deni immediately gave some files to Syifa for tomorrow's meeting.
" Sister, Syifa has just come and has been given a stack of files!" gerutu Syifa's.
" Make it tomorrow, Fa. Clients only want cooperation if you join Mr. Hendra's meeting." said Deni.
" Huft.. but now Syifa is lazy, tomorrow morning Syifa is working on this."
" Whatever, it's meeting tomorrow at noon at two."
" Ok, now Syifa wants to find Danang first."
Syifa moved out of her room to the pantry looking for Danang who had gone somewhere.
" Miss_...!" yell Danang.
" Hi.. I've been looking for you." said Syifa.
" When do you arrive in Jakarta? Why don't you ask for a pick-up, miss?"
" I got here this morning to pick up Deni. Oh yeah, where's my car?"
" Mmm.. The car is at home, I only wear it on the application."
" Why?"
" Fear of damage, Miss Syifa's car is expensive maintenance. My salary a month is not enough for the repair costs."
" You can do it, can we take it now?"
" It's still working hours, miss. Not good with the others if you go home first."
Syifa thought for a moment and sat down on the chair in the pantry room.
" Okay, we'll see you in the lobby."
" Good, Miss."
Syifa returned to her room but Reyhan was not there. That man must be in the president's room. Syifa went straight to the president's office and saw Reyhan calling someone.
" Mas_.." call Syifa.
" Yes, honey. A minute, huh?" whispered Reyhan.
Reyhan spoke briefly with someone across the phone. Maybe clients from abroad because they speak a foreign language.
" Why, baby?" reyhan asked while sitting next to Syifa.
" KTP same other cards that want to be taken care of when?" syifa whinek.
" Calm down, Brother Deni will take care of everything tomorrow."
" Isn't Deni busy?"
" He doesn't have to intervene on his own, baby. Just ask his men to."
" Huft... okay, how's Syifa's phone?"
" The day after tomorrow, do you want to buy first to use for a while?"
" No, I don't have the money to buy a new phone."
Reyhan was very worried about the behavior of his future wife. After shifting his body closer, Reyhan immediately pulled Syifa into his arms.
Reyhan gave his unlimited card to his future wife. He hopes his girl will accept him to meet all her needs every day.
" No, I'd rather wear my own work. That's enough of the phone you bought for me." declined Syifa.
" Dear, you're my future wife. So it's my duty to give everything I have to you" Reyhan said.
" Wife's new wife? There's no obligation for that."
" Dear, I sincerely gave it to you. I love you so much, don't refuse?"
" Okay, but there's a condition."
Reyhan scrunched his forehead then broke his embrace and stared fixedly at the girl before him. Syifa smiled slightly as she played Reyhan's fingers.
" What conditions, baby?" asked Reyhan gently.
" Don't go again, Mom. Syifa does not want to part with Reyhan mas." whine Syifa.
" Dear, come to New York. We got married and settled there."
" No, pity your mom and dad if we go."
" Dear, my mom and dad understand our situation. Mas's job is there, it can't be left."
Syifa disagreed with Reyhan's proposal. She couldn't bear to leave Reyhan's parents. The initial goal to catch up with Reyhan was to get together again with his parents, instead of leaving.
" Hey.don't think about it. Let's go through it all with a sincere heart, baby. Oh yeah, where's your car?"
" At Danang's house, Mas."
" Huft... How do dong go? We have to go before maghrib, baby."
" Where are you going, Mom?"
" Want to ask for the blessing of father and mother. All the way to RT sir's house, because I forgot not yet ngabarin if I've met you. He was very worried when he found out you were driven from home. Mr. RT had been looking for you for a few days but could not meet."
" Oh yes, Syifa forgot. Syifa has not been there since she left five years ago. Syifa no longer wanted to remember the memories in that house. The house Syifa was in since birth, is now occupied by my uncle."
" Dear, the house was actually sold by your uncle. It's now occupied by someone else."
Syifa was very surprised by Reyhan's words. The house that bears witness to her friendship with her parents is now owned by someone else.
" Patience, baby. I'll definitely get that house back for you." - Inner Reyhan.
" Dear, tell the office driver to pick up your car. Now we just take a taxi to go to the grave of father and mother." Reyhan said.
" Hmm.. okay, Syifa is just the same as the future husband."
A warm kiss on his forehead, making Syifa's face red. The girl was still embarrassed even though Reyhan had done it several times.

Reyhan and Syifa were in a taxi to go to Syifa's parents' grave. Reyhan held Syifa's hand all the way.
" She, pelein...!" whisky Syifa.
" Ssttt.. don't reject me" said Reyhan.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Reyhan and Syifa arrived at the funeral. Reyhan immediately sat in front of the navel followed by Syifa.
" Assalamu'alaikum, father, mother, Rey came back here after six months. Rey used to be desperate because she could not keep and protect Syifa well. Rey can't bring Syifa here like Rey promised. But today, Rey managed to bring Syifa to see her father and mother. Not only her body, but her heart was already with Reyhan. From now on, Reyhan will carry out the mandate of father and mother. Reyhan will not let Syifa grieve anymore" Reyhan said as he sprinkled flowers at Syifa's parents' belly button.
Syifa was moved by Reyhan's words. Reyhan has loved her all along. Surely all this time his heart was hurt because many times he did not return his love. Syifa is so stupid to ignore the love of a man as good as Reyhan. Unknowingly, tears dripped from her two beautiful eyes while tightly grasping the hands of the man who was so sincere in love with her without being able to utter a single broken word.
" Don't cry, mom and dad would be happy to see us together again after so many years apart" Reyhan said gently.
" Dad, mother.Built us. Reyhan loves Syifa so much, and so does your daughter. Reyhan promised to fulfill your trust. Reyhan won't disappoint mom and dad, thank you for taking care of Reyhan's soul mate all this time so she's the perfect woman in Reyhan's eyes. Your daughter has become a mature girl who is good at your upbringing during life. You are very extraordinary parents." said Reyhan while holding Syifa's body.
After revealing all his heart, Reyhan invited Syifa to RT's house on foot because the taxi he was riding was told to leave.
