BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
Part 49's
" Sony, what's wrong?" ask Cathy who saw Sony's confused face.
" That's it, Reyhan and Syifa are gone first" Sony said.
" They left us?"
" That's how it is, I also have to go" said Sony hesitantly.
" You all want to leave me?" squeak Cathy.
" Not so, there are patients in the hospital who must be operated immediately. I can't ignore people's lives."
" All right, let's go." Cathy resigned.
Sony forgets Cathy is going to Jakarta for the first time. That girl must not know where Reyhan's address is. Sony rushed out of the restaurant after paying for all the food. Cathy also came out but did not know where to go.
Cathy contacted Reyhan many times but there was no answer. The girl almost cried lamenting her unlucky fate tonight.
" Rey..you have the heart for me." sobs Cathy.
Cathy continues to walk down the highway hoping to find Reyhan's house.

Now Reyhan is with Syifa in the apartment. They enjoy the night view of Jakarta from the 15th floor. Syifa was very happy and kept smiling looking up at the sky from the balcony.
" Do you like it here, baby?" reyhan broke the silence.
" Yes, Mas. Can you do it once - Syifa stay here? You always worry that Syifa's going alone."
" It may be, but it's the same sleepover."
" That's exactly what is forbidden, Mas don't be kind!"
For almost two hours they chatted on the balcony of the apartment. There's nothing special they're talking about. Just talking about daily activities and occasionally joking.
" She, it's almost eleven. Yuk's home?" bring Syifa.
" Let's go, baby, before we go home... I have a gift for you" Reyhan said.
" What gift?"
" Just open it" Reyhan took out a blue box from inside his jacket pocket.
" What is this, Mas?"
Syifa immediately opened the box and was surprised to see the contents inside.
" God, O Lord, where did you get this? The necklace is very nice." said Syifa glazed.
" It's special for you, baby."
Syifa looked at the necklace closely. There's a carving of her name and Reyhan's. The pendant is initialed AA with a jewel luster.
" Well, why are the initials AA?" ask Syifa.
" Yes, honey. That's our last name, Azzahra Aditama" Reyhan replied.
" It must be very expensive, right? Don't waste it on things that aren't needed."
" For me, you're the most expensive baby. Although diamonds all over the world are gathered together, but that's not enough to buy you this precious one."
" Ish. gombal." leered Syifa but her cheeks blushed.
" Here Mas wear it." said Reyhan.
Reyhan took the necklace from Syifa's hand and put it on the girl's neck with a smile. Their faces were very close, their cheeks almost touching because Reyhan was wearing the necklace from the front as if hugging his lover.
" Not yet, my God?" syifa asked with her breath.
" why? Grogi ya this close with a handsome guy?" goda Reyhan's.
His whisper in Syifa's ear was able to make the girl's heart almost jump from its place. Although this was not the first time they were this close, this time the atmosphere was completely different. Reyhan looks very gentle and is also able to hypnotize himself.
The cup!
Reyhan kissed Syifa's cheek after she finished putting the necklace on her girl.
" You're so pretty, baby." whispered Reyhan.
" Thank you for the gift, Mom. Syifa loved it." shirk Syifa.
" God has another gift for you, but at home" Reyhan said.
" really? I don't have a birthday, why so many gifts?"
" Because you're a very special woman in my life. You have taught me so much about love. So, I promise to offer my love only to you forever."
" I love you, Mas." Syifa dropped her body in Reyhan's arms.
The girl sobbed small because she was moved and also happy. Reyhan only smiled faintly even though his heart was blossoming - a flower at the moment.
" I love you too, baby. Nothing can separate our love except the fate of God."
Reyhan clutched tightly to his lover and repeatedly kissed his girl's forehead. Tonight there was no word of force in Syifa's speech as usual that made Reyhan even more anxious to him.
" Dad, did your phone sound?" syifa said as Reyhan was enjoying his embrace.
" Who the hell? Disturb any more romantic moments like this." Reyhan grumbled.
" Who knows it's important, Mom. See you there?"
" Alright, honey. Your words are my command." seduced Reyhan while stealing a fleeting kiss on Syifa's lips.
Reyhan went into the room and grabbed the phone on the bed. See the name STEVEN listed there.
" Yes, Stev... What's the matter with you calling me?"
[ "Sorry, Rey.. Is Catherine with you? ]
" Cathy? He's gone, why?"
[[Rey, please find Cathy, she called me earlier and Katanta got lost in the streets." ]
" No way, Cathy went with Sony at the time with me."
[[" Cathy's number is off now, Rey help me." ]
" Alright, I'll be looking for Cathy right away. Now you just focus on your work."
[[Thank you, Rey...." ]
Reyhan put his phone in his jacket pocket and rushed Syifa out of the apartment.
" What's up, Mom?" ask Syifa who saw Reyhan in a hurry.
" Dear, please call Sony. Ask her where she is now." Reyhan said.
Syifa repeatedly called Reyhan's number but got no answer. Syifa wondered why Reyhan looked so panicked.
" Don't tell me what's going on?"
" Dear, Cathy called me many times but I don't know. Just now her brother called and told her that Cathy was lost in the streets."
" Why can't he be with Sony?"
" That's the problem, Sony can't be contacted, right?"
" Is it possible that Sony's brother left Cathy on the street?"
" If something bad happens to that girl, I'm the one responsible."
" Cathy must be fine, Mom. We'd better get to the diner just now, start the search from there."
" Yes, honey. Easy - hopefully Cathy soon found."
Reyhan and Syifa walked down the street from the restaurant to the crossroads. But the bule girl did not see the trunk of her nose. Reyhan was frustrated and stopped for a moment to choose which path he would take. Should he turn left, turn right or straight ahead?
" Dear, please choose the path that you think Cathy is on" Reyhan said.
" Where does Syifa know, Mas. Syifa's afraid we're on the wrong track."
" Huft... After all, how could Sony leave him?" lamented Reyhan.
" But there's no way Sony's sister is like that, Mas except _..."
" Unless what, baby?"
" They're noisy or anything so go it alone."
" It could also be that Sony has a hard time getting close to a girl he just met, while Cathy is a girl who likes to hang out and talk a lot" Reyhan said.

Meanwhile, Cathy who was almost hit by a car on the highway is now in an apartment owned by the perpetrator who almost hit her. A handsome man with a million charms was helping her as an expression of her apology.
" Miss, are you alone in this country?" ask the man.
" Yes, Sir. I just arrived last night in this country" Cathy replied.
Actually Cathy was afraid of just being alone with a foreign man in front of her. But he had no other choice because he did not know Reyhan's home address.
" Is your phone broken?"
" It looks like it was when he fell on the road. Actually I came with my boss, but he suddenly left with his girlfriend. I don't know where else to go?"
" You're staying in a hotel or_...?"
" No, I live in my boss' house but don't know the address. Actually, I was with one of my boss friends, but suddenly he had an emergency patient who had to be operated immediately. He left me alone in that diner."
" Oh yes, tonight you stay here. Tomorrow morning we'll find your boss."
" Thank you, sir."
" Oh yeah, what's your boss' name? I may know him."
" His name is Reyhan Aditama" Cathy said.
" Whata? You work for Reyhan?" ask the man in shock.
" Do you know my boss?"
The man smiled his smile, there was an idea in his brain to frustrate Reyhan.
" Let's rest, I'll take you to him tomorrow." grinned the man.
