BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
The Part 50
" Let's rest, I'll take you to him tomorrow." grinned the man.
" Where are you going, sir?" ask Cathy slowly.
" I have a home, Miss. This apartment is only a stopover when I want to be alone. We just met, too, there's no way we're staying here together."
" You're very kind, sir."
" We must help those in distress, Miss. No need to think about it."
" Oh yes, may I know your name, Sir?"
" Ah, yes. Until I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ardan." said the man who turned out to be Reyhan's friend.
" I'm Catherine, just call Cathy."
" All right, Miss Cathy. Do not open the door if someone knocks. I never brought anyone into this apartment."
" Okay, Mister."
" Don't call me that, just call me. By the way - speaking your Indonesian language is quite fluent."
" My boss taught it, he's a very nice guy."
" Yes already, I'm going home first." said Ardan.
Cathy immediately laid her body on the bed after Ardan left. He did not expect there were still many good people in this country even though they did not know each other.
Arriving at the parking area of the Apartment, Ardan got into his car and began to devise a plan to prank his best friend. Actually Ardan could have delivered the bule girl to Reyhan's house right now. But he wants to know if Reyhan cares about Cathy or not.
Ardan immediately drove his vehicle on a slightly quiet road due to the late night. He wanted to see Reyhan's expression tomorrow morning when he met at Syifa's friend's wedding.

In the morning, Mama scolds Reyhan for not being able to look after Catherine. For Reyhan's parents, Cathy was Reyhan's responsibility while in Indonesia because she was the one who brought the girl home.
" Rey, you need to find Cathy right now! You know he's only here for the first time, if anything happens - what to him would you tell his family?" yelled mama Salma.
" Yes, Ma. Rey is wrong, Rey will look for Cathy until she can." said Rey.
Reyhan was very sad and worried about Cathy. The man cared deeply about his secretary. Syifa could clearly see the panic on Reyhan's face.
" It turns out Cathy's precious to you, Mom. Would you also behave like that if I were the one missing?" inner Syifa.
Not wanting to disturb Reyhan, Syifa undoes her intention to take Reyhan to Rendi's house. Syifa slowly - slowly get out of the house without saying goodbye because the atmosphere is not conducive.
" Shypah...!" a loud scream echoed throughout the room as Syifa was about to grab the main door handle.
" Where are you going!" yelled Reyhan again.
" Ak.. I. want to go to. to Rendi's house, Mas." said Syifa stammered.
" You want to go without saying goodbye? Good, just go! You're happy to see me running around all night looking for you? Go!" reyhan shouted and went to his room.
Reyhan actually did not want to yell at Syifa, but right now his mind is very chaotic. Cathy disappeared, and now Syifa wants to leave without saying goodbye to her. Reyhan's head feels like it's about to break at this time.
" Fa, you better catch Reyhan first. It seems only you can control his emotions at this time" said papa Hendra.
" But, Pa. Syifa is afraid that Mas Reyhan is getting angry" Syifa said.
" No, Fa. No matter how hard Reyhan's heart, he must have melted with his loved ones" said mama Salma.
" Yes, Syifa try it first."
Doubtfully, Syifa stepped up the stairs to the top floor. Suddenly his guts shrank when he reached Reyhan's doorstep.
" Dad, Syifa come in?" syifa said slowly.
There was no reply from within, Syifa opened the door slowly. Reyhan was standing on the balcony staring at the clear sky.
" Mas_..."
" Let me alone, go!"
" Mommy, I'm sorry."
" Syifa, Mas told me how many times you'd leave." Reyhan's voice began to rise.
" Syifa will not leave without Mas Reyhan" Syifa said slowly.
" Stop whining, Fa! Just go by yourself."
" I know that girl is very important to you, Mom. But is this fair to me? Just last night you promised to be with me forever, but now you've changed again." Syifa tried not to cry in front of Reyhan.
" Syifa, just understand my situation this time."
" I'm wrong, Mom. We shouldn't have left last night, you should have accompanied him. I'll find him for you right now." Inner Syifa.
Syifa slowly took off the necklace she had just worn last night and put it on the nightstand and exited Reyhan's room.
Syifa is determined not to go home before she can find Cathy. Syifa had no idea how valuable the girl was to Reyhan.
Meanwhile, Reyhan who just realized with Syifa's words was sorry because he had been rude to his own lover. Reyhan saw Syifa's car coming out of the gate.
" Aakkhhh! Why is it so fucked up like this!" erang Reyhan is frustrated.
[ "Assalamu'alaikum, Rey." ] hello Sony.
" Wa'alaikumsalam, Son... Did you leave Cathy last night?"
[[Yes, Rey. Last night there was a patient who had a sudden operation so I went straight to the hospital." ]
" Why did you leave him! You know he doesn't know my home address, now he's missing somewhere!"
["Athaghfirullah... Sorry, Rey. I forgot about that, all I had in mind was saving the patient."
" Fuck you! You should've taken him to the hospital!"
[[" Sorry, Rey. I didn't think about it until last night." ]
" Now you take care of Rendi's wedding, I'll find Cathy. Look after Syifa, she's out of the house."
[[All right." ]
Reyhan rushes to the garage to pick up the car and immediately drives it to the highway in search of Cathy. Syifa's words were actually a little offensive to her. Maybe Syifa thinks she has more relationship with Cathy, but Reyhan behaved like that because of keeping the trust from Steven to keep his sister.
" Syifa, I'm sorry. You must be very disappointed with my attitude. But I also can't ignore Cathy who is now somewhere." Reyhan murmured.
Reyhan continued to drive his car around the city, getting into crowded places that many people visited.
An hour later, Sony sends Reyhan a message that Syifa is not at Rendi's house. This made Reyhan even more frustrated.
" Syifa, what else are you doing? Why is it all like this? Why is everyone playing me?" Reyhan murmured.
While at Rendi's residence, Sony came alone because Ardan had not yet appeared even though he brought his wedding dowry.
" Is everything ready?" ask Sony.
" Already, Sir. We'll just leave and wait for Syifa."
" My friend who brought the dowry hasn't come yet, we'll wait a minute."
" I'm actually embarrassed, sir. Syifa has helped me a lot all this time and I haven't been able to repay her kindness."
" Once, no need to think about it. I'd like to call them first."
Sony tried to contact Syifa but the number was off. He's not with Reyhan either, maybe there's a problem with them.
Before long Ardan's car entered the yard of Rendi's house. Sony intends to approach him and ask the whereabouts of Syifa. They may have met on the street. Just a few steps away, Sony was surprised to see someone coming out of Ardan's car.
" Cathy...?" sony doesn't believe it.
" Am I late?" greet Ardan.
Sony ignored Ardan and immediately approached Cathy with a sharp look. He never thought about why the girl could be with Ardan.
" Why are you with Ardan?" sony Cecar.
" Last night he almost hit me and then he helped me" Cathy said without daring to look at Sony.
" You should have asked to be sent home instead of staying with him."
" I don't know Reyhan's home address, my phone's broken, too."
" Once, Son. I told him to stay at my apartment. He looked tired and in shock so I didn't drive him home" Ardan said.
" Do you do that on purpose! From last night Reyhan and Syifa searched for this girl's whereabouts and you purposely hid her?" furious Sony.
" I don't think that way" said Ardan.
Rendi out of the house broke the Sony and Ardan debate. It's not good that they fight in public places.
" Sir, is there a problem?" ask Rendi.
" No, call your future wife and ask if Syifa's there or not" Sony said.
" Okay, Mister."
Rendi contacts Bella to inquire about Syifa. After a while, Rendi came back to Sony.
" Mister, Syifa's not at Bella's house. Syifa's plan is to come from here, so there's no way she's at Bella's house" Rendi said.
" Damn...! One met the other one's missing." said Sony.
Sony immediately informs Reyhan that Cathy is with him now at Rendi's house. Syifa is not here yet.
" When anything happens to Syifa, it's all because of you!" sony is furious at Ardan who doesn't understand the root of the problem.
