Consorts of the Heart Mr. Billionaires
Chapter.72 (Bima and Alfaro)
"Where are you going, Al?" mama asked as Alfaro dragged his suitcase down from upstairs.
"I have a job in Malaysia" he said briefly, giving his suitcase to the driver who was taking Alfaro to the airport.
"Breakfast first, you haven't had breakfast with Mama for a long time" he said.
"Sorry Ma, my flight is just around the corner" Alfaro grabbed Mama's hand and kissed her, "I'm leaving." Alfaro turned around to walk away leaving Mama who was still glued to her place.
For the past four years, Mama has lost her old son. Alfaro no longer cared about it, no longer retaliating if Mama was babbling at him, silent, indifferent like a person who lost the spirit of life. Even the smile of the son had not been seen for a long time.
Mama's gaze could not be separated from Alfaro who stepped on his back . At first glance Mama's eyes look teary. His breath felt trembling with worry about the fate of the son in the future. Is Mama finally sorry? Maybe yes, but Mama is too afraid to admit her mistake.

Alfaro looked out the car window and looked at the bustle of the capital that did not make the silence in his heart disappear.As vegetables without salt, everything felt bland. Busying himself like a madman had already done, but as he returned to befriending the walls of the room and the sound of the clanking of rain, that crumbling feeling came back to dominate.
Today, he stepped away to a place far enough away for the first time. Leaving the land full of good memories with someone who until now still occupies the main position in his heart and mind. Where's she? The question is still the same, but he is used to it, trying to be indifferent even though the mind is tormented.
Arriving at the airport, Alfaro immediately stepped towards the departure gate, there was already someone there to guide him into a business class plane that would take him to fly to the neighboring country of Malaysia.

"Mom, ino can come with ya," Arumi's boy pinta.
"Yona uga wants," regek daughter Arumi.
Arumi who was sitting in front of the dressing table turned to the side where her two children were. He stroked the heads of Vino and Viona in turn. It's so hard for a mother to ignore her son's request, but what's possible for all of this for their future as well.
"Vino, Viona ... You can't join Mommy Mommy to go to work to make money .. Let's guess what the money is for?" asked Arumi looking at her son in turn.
"Hmm ... buy ice klim mom," replied Vino while raising his right hand.
"What else does it matter?" ask Arumi again.
"Oh Yona knows, make candy," said Viona while jumping.
"Smart Mommy's son." Arumi knelt before her two children as she spread her arms, "Here hugs Mommy."
Vino and Viona embrace Arumi. Arumi tightened her embrace as the clear liquid suddenly shot out from the corner of her eye. I don't know how much precious time he can't go through in the golden age of his children.
The time when a child should get the full attention of his parents. Arumi can be strong through any ordeal but when she sees the innocent face of her children who do not know the cruelty of the world, asking for a little attention and time. Arumi's heart is like sliced, so it can not withstand the tightness in the chest that rumbles to be released.

Exactly one hour and fifty minutes. Finally, Alfaro arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia. Not far from the arrival door, Bianca and Albert waved at the arrival of their guests.
Alfaro replied by waving his hand as well. He walked over to his two friends. This is their first meeting in four years. At the wedding of Bianca and Albert, Alfaro could not come because he was still in a state of recovery after an accident and a period of recovery of the heart because the wife lived.
Bianca and Albert settled in British London and this is also their first arrival to Malaysia over the past four years. They already know about Arumi's disappearance from Alfaro's life but they don't know for sure the cause. It felt like asking but they did not want to interfere too much with Alfaro's personal problems. Now seeing Alfaro in his fine state they were already happy.
"How are you doing Al?" Albert stretched out his hand and was immediately greeted by Alfaro, "
"Okay, long time no see." Alfaro turned to look at Bianca who is currently in two bodies, "Finally, you will soon have a Baby."
"Yes Al, finally after a few years of waiting for me to get pregnant as well" Bianca said with a big smile.
If you do not disappear, surely now we also have children or at least you are also pregnant like Bianca, inner Alfaro.
"Let's go, both my parents are waiting at home, the guest room has been cleaned to welcome your arrival," Bianca asked.
"I don't want to bother, I'll just stay at the hotel" Alfaro refused.
"Don't hesitate Al, you are our guest" Albert said, patting Alfaro's shoulder gently.

Day changes night.
The Hartanto family residence. Alfaro is enjoying dinner with the Bianca family. There's Bianca, Albert, and both Bianca's parents. Bima has not yet returned from office.
"How's your mom Al doing?" ask Mami Bianca.
"Good aunt," he answered.
"Why don't you come to Bianca's wedding, and we're waiting for you and your wife" Daddy Bianca said.
Alfaro was silent for a moment. He was confused to explain how. While before him, Albert and Bianca looked at each other. They learn of the fact that Alfaro was in an accident and Arumi disappeared while they were in London. They forgot to tell both their parents and Bima.
"So this is Dad, at that time Alfaro was in a severe accident and .. his wife disappeared," said Bianca who looked doubtful.
"Geez, why did you just say Bi." Daddy turned to look at Alfaro, "Sorry Al, we don't know about the problem you're facing."
"It's okay."
Because of that discussion, now Alfaro's face looks sad. Bianca and Albert became guilty of having opened old wounds that had not dried for four years.
"I'm home!"
A voice that just suddenly sounded, made Alfaro raise his head, turn his head to see who was coming. Bima, who had just arrived, stopped her steps as her gaze caught the figure of the man she had last met at a restaurant four years ago.
"Bima here, why stand there" said Mami.
"You must be surprised, your former boss came" continued Bianca.
The look in Bima's eyes never escaped Alfaro. He clutched tightly to the bag in his hand as he stepped back into the family dining room. Alfaro stood up from his seat as Bima got closer to him.
Now they're facing each other. The look in his eyes was the same as four years ago. The gaze full of a sense of competition was so fierce. Bima did not budge, until Alfaro finally extended his hand first.
"How are you, have not seen each other for a long time" said Alfaro with his arms outstretched, waiting to be welcomed.
"Alright, I hope you are also fine for the past four years," said Bima while welcoming Alfaro's hand, and a few moments later released.
Bima's chest was so tight when she faced the man who had hurt Arumi. He was angry, hated to want it to feel to land a single blow on the face of this man in front of him. Alfaro felt astonished because Bima who looked dislike when she saw his arrival.
"Bima, come to dinner" said Bianca.
"I am still full, brother, I went back to the room first," said Bima and passed away leaving the place.
Everyone seemed surprised by the attitude shown by Bima. Bima Tekenal is friendly to anyone. But today his eyes were different than usual. Not wanting to be prejudiced, Alfaro chose to sit back and enjoy a special dish cooked for him.
"Why he is, is he tired" said Bianca who continues to look at his sister's departure.
"Entah, Mami was also confused, for several years, Bima often went home at night and she also often went to the xx area," said Mami.
"Is it possible she has Mi's boyfriend" Bianca said.
"It could be, Daddy thinks so too," said Daddy suddenly.
Alfaro did not budge and chose to finish his food quickly. His body was really tired and needed rest before starting to move tomorrow.
