CURTAINS OF THE PAST

Episode 5's

　

　

Maghrib is almost, but Toni has not revealed her nose in the magnificent house where she has been living since a few months ago. Chellin and her grandmother seemed so worried looking forward to her return on the main doorstep.

"Darling! Didn't you say Toni was almost done? But why hasn't he shown up yet?" Chellin's face flushed with anxiety.

"Right, honey, he and I almost walked out of his office. But I don't know where the kid left off. Have you tried to contact him?." Even so sure, but the worry can not be hidden from Bobi face that has begun to be laced with aging lines at an increasingly twilight age.

"It's, but the number's off." Chellin almost cried, but considering Toni's grandmother who was in front of him at the time, Chellin tried his hardest to hold him back.

"Well that's Toni!" Grandma exclaimed as her eyes found Toni's car entering her yard. Chellin and Bobi's views were simultaneously fixed exactly where Grandma's index finger was pointing.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..." Toni's breath was panting with greetings. He snuck in past his family who had been waiting for him anxiously.

"Wa'alaikumussalam..." Saut them almost simultaneously. They were astonished to see Toni holding a hijab-wearing girl in an unconscious condition.

"Toni! Who's the girl? why is she with you, son? What the hell's going on? Why did he faint?." Questions came out of Grandma's mouth. The worries on his old face started to rise again.

"Let's Toni's story, grandma, Toni wants to take Iffah to the room first." Toni's legs are still strong to climb level by level the stairs of the house to her room on the second floor.

"Isn't that Iffah?" Bisik Bobi, but clearly heard in the ears of his wife and grandmother.

"Offah??? You recognize that girl, honey?" Chellin scrunched his forehead. She was so curious about how much her husband knew who the girl Toni was carrying.

"Yes, he's Toni's secretary in the office." Saut Bobi was confused by what actually happened to the girl. "Well, let's take Toni to her room." Take Bobi while taking over pushing the Scewo (multipurpose electric wheelchair) occupied by the grandmother. Chellin said to her husband's invitation and stopped to wonder, because he thought her husband was the one with whom he knew nothing.

　

　

*****

　

Maghrib was over, Toni and her family again saw the condition of Iffah who had not been conscious in Toni's room.

"What exactly happened to Ton? What happened to Iffah? And why is she with you?" Bobi again questioned the question asked by the grandmother and was completely unanswered by Toni.

Toni shivered a little considering the fateful incident that almost befell Iffah in front of her office this afternoon. For a moment, he sighed in a moment to tell her what exactly happened.

　

　

"Surely he was so shocked at the moment, maybe he had an accident before, or maybe he had witnessed someone else or his family having an accident that he had fainted like this." Chellin said, gently rubbing Iffah's forehead on Toni's bedside.

"Maybe it's bi." Toni's saut justifies the possibility of Chellin's narration.

"Yes, since nothing seems to have happened to Iffah, how about we have dinner first." Bring Bobi.

"Come..." Saut Chellin and grandma almost simultaneously. But unlike Toni, although she believes nothing has happened to the girl who makes her heart beat every time she meets it, she is still reluctant to leave Iffah lying alone. But either way, he didn't want Bobi to read his feelings again like in his study that afternoon.

"Arjun..." Their footsteps stopped at once hearing the voice of Iffah behind his unconsciousness.

"Arjuun..." Iffah's paled lips softly came back out that word. Chellin sat down next to Iffah and wiped away the sweat that flooded Iffah's forehead.

"Iffaah... Awake son." Chellin rubbed gently on the back of Iffah's hand.

"Arjunaaaaa" Iffah. His eyes were wide open, his breathing roaring violently for an instant. Chellin immediately embraced Iffah's shoulder to calm her down.

Arjuna's? Who's Arjuna? What her husband's name is Arjuna~ Batin Toni.

Iffah glanced at Chellin and tried to circle the entire room that seemed so unfamiliar to her gaze, but her eyes were fixed on Toni who was standing almost near the door of the room. "S-I'm where?"

"You're at our house, son, Toni brought you here unconscious." Chellin represents to answer the question that is thrown from the thin lips of Iffah. "Now you're in Toni's room." Iffah's heart was about to stop.

"You just take a break, son, after dinner Toni will take you home." Added grandma again.

"Thank you, I'll take a taxi. I'm too much trouble." Elak Iffah.

"As long as the man must help, there is no such thing as bothering the Iffah." Timpal Bobi is coming. Iffah glanced at Toni who was still standing where he had originally seen her, Toni did not even notice the slightest reaction to Iffah.
