BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
The Part 87
Reyhan snorted in annoyance at the behavior of his mother who treated him like a prisoner.
" Ma, hold. There's Reyhan's stuff left in papa's room" Reyhan said.
" What stuff? Don't lie to your mom!"
" Just for a second, Ma. Not for a minute" said Reyhan.
" Yes, grab it!" mama Salma said.
After escaping from her mother, Reyhan immediately ran towards Syifa and kissed the girl quickly regardless of the file in hand scattering to the floor.
" Revil...!" yelled mama Salma.
" What the hell!" pissed Syifa.
Reyhan only grinned after being satisfied to kiss his entire face.
" Bad brat, no manners, no shame!" nagging mama Salma while fretting Reyhan's ears.
Papa Hendra and Deni can only be privileged to see Reyhan's behavior. Fortunately, only Clarissa saw the incident.
" Okay, Ma. Sick, don't pull Reyhan's ear." Reyhan grimaced in pain.
" You're not ashamed to kiss Syifa like that!"
" I'm sorry, Ma. Rey promised never to repeat it again."
Mama Salma immediately pulled her son away from her husband's office.

One week before the wedding, Syifa was not allowed to enter the office. Mama Salma does not want Reyhan desperate again to meet his future wife.
" Ma, why can't Syifa and Mas Reyhan meet?" ask Syifa.
" It's okay, Mama wants to prank the bad boy." replied the original mama.
" Pity, Ma. Said Rendi's job was a mess at the end of this."
" Leave it, she thought she didn't feel tormented by being left to America for five years and never coming home."
" It's up to you, Syifa can't prevent you from wanting."
Before long, Reyhan came in a hurry - rushed into the house. He paid no heed to the waiter who was chasing him. Reyhan immediately approached Syifa who was watching tv in the family room with her mother.
" Rinathan? Why are you here?" ketus mama Salma's.
" What's why? Reyhan can't come to this house." Reyhan murmured.
" I can, but after you're married."
" Mama don't ban Reyhan anymore, it's enough Reyhan split with Syifa!"
" Mad.. keep your voice down against mama." said Syifa.
" why? So you're more defending mama!" royhan Bengkak.
" It's not so, Mom. Syifa only_..."
" Quiet! You're the same!"
Reyhan slammed the vase on the table and left the house.
" Ma, I'm sorry Mas Reyhan? He was tired of so much work. Mas Reyhan is not really angry." said Syifa.
" It's okay, mama to the room first." said mama Salma with a forced smile.
After Mama Salma entered the room, Syifa also ran to her own room. His tears were unstoppable after just below trying to hold him in front of his mother.
" Why are you so rude, Mom? I can still take it if you yell at me, but why should it be mama?" syifa Lirih.

Two days before the wedding, there was no news at all from Reyhan. Syifa began to fret when her mother told her to go to the boutique to try on a newly made dress.
" Fa, call Reyhan to accompany you the fitting clothes that just so yesterday. Mama's not feeling well anymore, take a break."
" Yes, Ma."
Syifa went into her room and called Reyhan's number. But many times have tried Reyhan's number is not active. Syifa's feelings began to feel bad, fearing something happened to her future husband.
Syifa immediately contacted Rendi, maybe she was with Reyhan.
" Assalamu'alaikum, Ren."
[" Wa'alaikumsalam, Fa. What's the phone clock like this?" ]
" This, Ren. I'm gonna ask you about Reyhan. Are you with him now?"
[" Boss Reyhan? Didn't he take a vacation a few days ago? There have been five days like the boss did not go to the office, all my work is handled at this time." ]
" Where did Reyhan say he wasn't going?"
" Thank you, Ren. Assalamu'alaikum."
[" Wa'alaikumsalam." ]
Syifa sat on the edge of the bed wiping her slowly dripping tears. She was very worried that something might happen to Reyhan because the last time they met, her future husband left in a state of anger.
" Where should I find you, Mas?" syifa Lirih.
Syifa took her small bag and car keys and rushed out of the house without saying goodbye to her mother. The first place he went to was the apartment. Maybe Reyhan was there.
Arriving at the door of the Apartment, Syifa knocked on the door but there was no word.
" Mum, this is Syifa." cried Syifa.
Because there was no answer, Syifa opened it with a password that he had memorized.
" Oh, inside isn't it?" syifa.
Syifa searched every corner of the room, but nothing was found. Syifa went into the room and also the balcony but there was nothing. There were only withered roses scattered on the balcony floor.
" Well, where are you? Maafin Syifa.." shirih Syifa.
Syifa searched every room there could be a clue about Reyhan's whereabouts. Syifa would not give up on finding her future husband.
Syifa went to her old house because Ardan told her that Reyhan used to stay there a lot. Half an hour drive, Syifa finally arrived in front of his old house.
" Assalamu'alaikum," Syifa knocked on the door slowly.
Syifa was sitting on the porch because she did not have the keys to the house. Reyhan kept it because Syifa could not go alone to the house.
" Syifa, why are you sitting there?" ask RT sir who happened to pass by.
" Eh, mr. RT. I'm looking for Reyhan mas." replied Syifa.
" Reyhan hasn't been back here in days. If you go home, the car must be there" said Mr. RT.
" Yes, sir, then Syifa said to go home first."
" Fa, is there a problem between you and Reyhan?"
" No, sir. Oh yeah, don't forget to come to Syifa's wedding? Just a close relative of Syifa."
" Yes, you're coming. Don't worry, son."
" Thank you, sir."
Syifa got into the car and drove on the highway without direction and purpose. He no longer knew where to find Reyhan. Reyhan is a man who does not easily blend in with others, no close friends except Ardan and Sony.
Syifa decided to go to Sony in the hospital. It's possible that his foster brother knew Reyhan's whereabouts.
" Assalamu'alaikum, brother." said Syifa.
Syifa walked into Sony's room imposing her smile. He didn't want Sony to know he was sad right now.
" Wa'alaikumsalam's. Fa, tumben here didn't say - tell me brother first?"
" Amafn brother. Is Syifa interrupting sister's work?"
" No, sit down!" sony.
" Thank you, brother."
Shortly Ardan also came to the Sony room without any prior appointment.
" Assalamu'alaikum" said Ardan.
" Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Sony and Syifa.
" Sister, Syifa kangen." whine Syifa.
" Not kangen's sister?" sony Cibir.
" Sister number one!" sahut Syifa.
Syifa hugged both of them together. Although he did not want to look sad, his tears still cried.
" Hey... Why the bride? Why are you crying anyway?" asked Ardan in shock.
" Fa, tell me brother... Why are you?" sony.
" Mas Reyhan_..."
