BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
The Part 65
" May your wish come true soon, dear." murmured mama Salma.
Mama Salma felt the presence of Syifa in her life was able to make her excited again after the departure of Reyhan since still Junior High. They were just as hard, Mama Salma with her business skyrocketing, making her have to leave Reyhan to the servants in her house. While Reyhan who is also harsh, prefers to live alone in the Apartment and learn to live in solitude.
Mama Salma returned to her room and opened her dresser drawer. He observed the gift his son had given him when he was about to return to New York. A beautiful set of jewelry. Mama Salma knew how much the gift from her son was worth. If it's broken up maybe about a billion.
But it wasn't because of that luxury that made Mama Salma happy, but seeing her son slowly starting to pay attention to her. All of that was possible because of the education of Syifa's parents who are now gone. As an expression of his gratitude, mama Salma promised to always love Syifa even though the girl was not a match with her son later.

The day keeps changing, now it's time for Reyhan to return to Indonesia. He can't wait to meet his girlfriend. Longing seemed to stifle his chest when the plane he was riding began to take off.
" I'm coming, honey. I miss you so much." Inner Reyhan.
The long journey Reyhan was going through right now felt extremely slow. Time and time again Reyhan clucked resentfully because the plane seemed to be flying slower.
" Dear, I'll give you a surprise. May you like my little gift." - Inner Reyhan.
Reyhan did not realize that beside him there were people who noticed him. A beautiful woman with a slim body, maybe she is a model.
" Are you okay, Mr?" ask the girl.
" Oh... Sorry, I'm fine." Reyhan replied.
" Are you Indonesian?" ask the girl.
" Yes, what are you too?" sahut Reyhan's.
" Yes, Sir. I'm originally from Surabaya, on vacation in America."
" I work in America" Reyhan said briefly.
The girl stared fixedly at Reyhan, fascinated by the man's good looks before her.
" Don't look at me like that, keep your eyes on me!" said Reyhan flat.
" My name is Carrisa, may you know your name?"
" I'm Reyhan."
" I'm sorry, I talk too much. I just want to be friends."
" Do you work?" ask Reyhan.
" No. mmm. actually I had worked in a large company in Surabaya as a secretary. But I resigned two months ago because my boss forced me to be his second wife. So I chose to go instead of being a mistress."
" then? How did you get to America?"
" I went with a friend of mine who worked there, he said there was a job that suited me. But after he got there, it turned out that he was working Club Night. I did not want to work in such a place, afraid of falling into sin. Fortunately I was able to run away from that place and went to the office of the KBRI to ask for help. I'm lucky, there are good people there who are willing to buy a ticket back to Indonesia."
" Have you ever been a secretary?" ask Reyhan to make sure.
" Yes, Sir. But not for long, there hasn't been a year."
" You want to work again, Miss?"
" Work for you, sir? No, I don't want to go back to America anymore. I was afraid of the people who were chasing me back then."
" No, work in Jakarta. My future wife is very troubled if she has to take care of her own company. If you want, you'll be tested for a week. If your work is satisfactory, you can be accepted to work there."
" Really, Sir? Thanks, I'll work my best."
" But later, if my future wife wants to. You see, she's late - it's very sensitive that I'm close to other women."
" It doesn't matter, sir. Just leave the office address so I can apply for it myself. Let's just say we've never met, so your future wife won't think like that."
" Yes, I'll write down the address."
" Thank you, sir."
Long enough to talk, they are tired and sleep. The journey is still very long, Reyhan is very difficult to close his eyes. He immediately opened his laptop to check out some of the work he had not had time to read.
All the plans that Reyhan has prepared are very mature, just looking for a suitable place. There are several places that Papa Hendra has offered him, Reyhan lives his own survey.

At night, Reyhan landed at Soetta Airport. Sony and Ardan have been waiting to pick him up.
" Assalamu'alaikum" Reyhan said.
" Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Sony and Ardan.
" Is everything in order?" ask Reyhan.
" Already, the show will run very festive." replied Ardan.
" You brought another woman, Rey?" sony looked at the girl standing behind Reyhan.
" Women_...?" Reyhan looked back.
" God... Carissa, why are you following me?" said Reyhan raising his voice.
" I'm sorry, Mister. I don't know where to go, I don't know anyone here but you" Carissa said.
" Lord knows for himself, I don't have the slightest money. How can I rent an inn?"
" I have to bear your life?!"
" No. No, sir. I_..."
Ardan felt sorry for the girl. She seems to be a girl from a good family. He doesn't want to be the center of attention of people there.
" Already, Rey. Shame on people, let's go home. Miss, come with us." said Ardan.
" Surday...!" yell Reyhan and Sony compact.
" Why the hell, I just don't want us to be the center of attention of people around." said Ardan.
Eventually they let Carissa into the car. I don't know what will happen later, Carissa honestly felt very afraid of one car with three men who are not familiar.
Carissa sat in the back with Ardan who was staring at her intensely. Reyhan who realized the behavior of his best friend that one immediately threw his face with a lump of tissue from the front.
" Wipe up the sweat! It's hot cold." Reyhan quipped.
Sony just chuckled while glancing from the windshield. While Ardan, the man only grinned after being caught staring intensely at the girl beside him who had lowered his face.
" Miss, where are you going?" ask Ardan.
" I don't know, Sir. Maybe to the terminal, tomorrow morning I will return to Surabaya." replied Carissa.
" Danger for a woman like you night - night at the terminal, a lot of thugs there." said Sony.
" I have no purpose in this city, sir."
" Rey, what if this girl stays at your apartment?" sony.
" No way, I'll stay there now. Syifa didn't know I was home. If he arrives later - he arrives at the Apartment and finds out there how? You know for yourself the end of this he's very sensitive" Reyhan said.
" Yes, then let's stay tonight in my apartment. I rarely occupy it, so he can stay the night." said Ardan.
" Thank you, sir." said Carissa with a smile.
Finally they went to Ardan Apartment first to take Carissa and then to Reyhan Apartment. Sampsi in the Apartment, Reyhan immediately poured his tired body into bed followed by Ardan and Sony.
" How, Dan? Is everything all right?" ask Reyhan.
" It's all done, Rey. But the woman asked for three times the previous price." replied Ardan.
" It's okay - what, the important thing is everything is done. Then the preparation for the show?"
" Tomorrow morning someone will come to take care of it" said Sony.
" Good, I hope everything goes according to plan. Please tell my parents to be ready - be ready but don't let him know."
" Let's relax, tomorrow let me and Sony pick him up" Ardan said.

This afternoon Syifa had a lot of work in her office. Reyhan sent a message this morning that he was busy so he couldn't make a video call.
Syifa was very upset with Reyhan who did not reply to his message many times he sent.
" Where the hell is Reyhan? Masa' reply message alone can not, outrageous once he. Just watch if he calls, I won't answer!" furious Syifa.
" Fa, it's night! Let's gohome?" bring Deni.
" Secondly, Syifa is waiting for Sony and bang Ardan to pick up. He said it was on the road." said Syifa.
" Yes, we go down wait for them in the lobby" Deni said.
" Syifa clear the table first, brother."
" Cepetan, it's already eight and a half hours should pray Isya' first just come home."
After Isya's prayer, Syifa and Deni went down. Syifa stood in front of the lobby, while Deni took his car in the parking lot.
As Deni was about to approach his car, he heard a scream in front of the lobby. There was a black car with two men dragging the rough body of Syifa who kept shouting. Syifa was put in the car and immediately darted away from the place.
" Shyfa...!" shout Deni.
Meanwhile, in Syifa's car tied up and smothered her mouth with a cloth. The girl struggled and tried to escape. The man next to her called someone in a flat voice.
" The target is in our hands, just execution."
