BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
The Part 80
" I will never regret holding you, Syifa Azzahra."
" You...?"
" Yes, I didn't dare approach you because of Reyhan's threat. But now, I can crush him through you." grinned a man standing right in front of Syifa.
" Anton, what's my fault with you?"
" So you still recognize me? Hahaha I thought you had forgotten me, Syifa."
" Anton, let me go. We can talk about this well."
" Hahahaa, you won't let go until Reyhan is destroyed."
Syifa did not expect that Anton could do this to her. Before, when I was in High School... Syifa and Anton were close friends even though they were not a class. Anton is a quiet guy and doesn't have many friends. Syifa often invited to eat in the cafeteria if Reyhan, Ardan and Sony sedamg not with him.
" Ton, you're a good man. Don't commit crimes like this, which Anton used to be very nice to me."
" Silence, Syifa! For years I have been looking forward to this day. Reyhan won't be able to protect you this time."
" What do you really want? We never have a problem, Ton."
" Yes, we don't have a problem. But Reyhan, he made me like this!" shout Anton.
" I don't understand what you're saying, Ton. What did Reyhan do to you?"
" Once it is, you don't need to know. It's a man's business, you don't interfere."
Syifa really does not know what Reyhan is doing so it makes Anton want revenge on him. Syifa must be able to persuade Anton to speak from heart to heart. He did not want any violence or criminal acts that could end up in the hands of the law.
Anton leaves the room where Syifa was confined after unbinding the girl's legs. This was not what he had hoped for, but the heartache he had stored up for many years had shut the door of his heart.
" Boss, what are we going to do with that girl?"
" Just leave it like that, don't tie it again enough lock the door and keep him from escaping."
" Good Boss."
Anton went into the room next to Syifa's. If you remember about his past with Syifa, Anton actually did not have the heart to do that. Syifa was too kind as a friend, quite considerate and sincere regardless of who she was.
" I'm sorry, Fa. Because of my grudge against Reyhan, you must be the victim. Had you not been Reyhan's lover, none of this would have happened to you." - Anton.
Anton tried to close his eyes which were very sleepy and also tired. He had just returned from Germany to take care of his work.

Syifa looked pensively behind the window that was attached to iron bars outside. As he looked out, a dense stretch of trees surrounded the place where he was now.
" Why dream? Do you intend to escape from here?" I don't know when Anton has been standing next to Syifa.
" No, because I know you're keeping this place tight." Syifa said flatly.
" Huft..I miss your old gentle demeanor, how could you choose that arrogant and cruel man."
" It's none of your business, whose name is feeling no one knows. We never know who our soul mate is."
" really? Is it because she's rich that you're in love with her?"
" Stop, Anton! We've been friends for a long time, I didn't expect you to think I was that low!" shouts Syifa.
" And then, what? You can't appreciate how I feel, Syifa!"
" Feelings? What feelings? I don't understand what you mean!"
" I love you, love you so much. You gave me a gap to my heart to love you. Only you can make me fall in love, Syifa."
" Ton, from long ago until now I only thought of you as a friend. I never knew you liked me."
" Of course you don't know, because Reyhan didn't let me get close to you. He's always threatening me and keeping you away from me!"
Syifa looked at Anton's face which looked full of anger. The man loved her and Syifa didn't know it.
" Ton, I'm sorry. Reyhan did that just because he wanted to protect me. Please don't get me wrong, let me get out of here."
" Don't dream of getting out of here before Reyhan suffers!"
" Can I ask you something, Ton? Answer it honestly."
" What...?"
" Are you also the one who wanted to kill me in Bali?"
" killing you? Do I look that cruel to a woman?"
" I don't know, Ton. When I was in Bali, someone tried to kill me there. I got hit on purpose by a stolen car. This must have something to do with you."
" Why are you even here for? Just kill me if it makes you happy!" syifa.
" Hush! I'm tired of taking a break" Anton said flatly and left Syifa with the door locked.
" Shan...! Let go of me, lest you regret it later." cried Syifa.

Reyhan, Sony and Ardan ready - ready to go to Bogor. They will tour the villas on the top to find Syifa.
" Are you ready, Rey?" ask Ardan.
" Yes, let's go!" answer Reyhan.
At a crossroads not far from Reyhan's residence, Ardan saw a woman in a taxi.
" Rey, isn't that Diana?" exclaim Ardan.
Sony and Reyhan stared at the taxi appointed by Ardan. It was true that the girl was Diana, their former schoolmate.
" You guys wait here, I'll drag that cheap girl" Reyhan growled.
" Rey, let me. You stay in the car." said Ardan.
Ardan got out of the car because the road happened to be jammed. He immediately approached Diana who was only one car away from him.
" Hey..you're Diana, right?" ardan said with a smile.
Diana narrowed her eyes while thinking who the man before her was.
" I'm sorry, who are you?" ask Diana.
" You don't remember me? I'm Ardan, a schoolmate back in High School."
" Mmm... Are you the same Reyhan? Ah, yes, I remember, you're Ardan the school playboy." Diana smiled.
" Hahahaa... I have not been forgotten either." said Ardan grinned.
" What are you doing here, Dan?"
" Oh that, I accidentally saw you here. How about if you come with me, we can reminisce about the past together." take Ardan.
" Did you still see Rey a lot?" diana asked doubtfully.
" He's in my car now, don't miss a chance." whispered Ardan.
" Alright, I'm coming with you." said Diana excitedly.
Diana wanted to pay the fare before getting out of the car, but Ardan was quicker to give the taxi driver two pieces of red money.
" Thank you, Ardan." said Diana with a sweet smile.
Ardan just smiled and took Diana's arm to Sony's car. Diana was shocked because it was not only Reyhan, there was also Sony behind the wheel.
" Hey... Reyhan, Sony.." say hello to Diana.
" Hey... haven't seen each other in a long time, where have you been?" ask Sony.
" Mmm. I'm with my parents in Japan. I only occasionally go to Indonesia to take care of papa's work."
Sony returned to drive his car after the car in front of him began to drive slowly. Glad to see Reyhan again without Syifa, Diana forgot where she was supposed to go. Despite just sitting next to her without a word coming out of the cold man's mouth, Diana felt her heart beating very fast.
Diana still does not realize if Sony has pulled her car off the streets are very quiet. Reyhan's charms were able to dispel Diana's wits.
" Are you satisfied to look at me?" said Reyhan flat.
Diana gasped in shock from her daydream as a flat voice shot out from Reyhan's mouth.
" Rey.. ke...why do we stop at a place like this?" diana asked nervously.
The grin on Reyhan's face made Diana's guts shrink. Her cold and deadly gaze and her horrible-looking smile made Diana's entire body tremble.
" Where's Syifa...!"
