Destiny for me
The Late Taste
Reno squirms on papa Robert's private room bed. The phone that was on the nightstand. An hour passed and Reno fell asleep.
The body is still a little sore because there is a lot of work to be completed lately, especially the Sherly problem.
Both corners of her lips immediately smiled when she saw a message from her family lawyer who gave good news about Sherly.
Reno rushes out of bed, washes her face in the bathroom and plans to go straight to the office of Om Boris, a confidant of Robert's father.
I'll borrow the office car first, pa, go to Boris's place. There's a new development on Sherly's problem
A piece of that message Reno sent to papa Robert and immediately darted into Om Boris's office without wanting to waste time.
30 Minutes Reno gets there. His stomach suddenly feels hungry but his heart wants to quickly find out what new evidence Boris gets to release Reno from Sherly's demands that are all lies.
The receptionist immediately told Reno to go up to the room om Boris who was on the 3rd floor. Reno just nodded her head and got into the elevator nearby.
“You look thin, Ren ?” greet Boris as soon as Reno enters his room.
“Down 3 kg, Om, but still safe,” Reno said with a laugh and went straight to the sofa.
“Eat first, Om has bought rice padang. Your papa called and said that you haven't had time to eat in his office, late sleep.”
“Duh papa has spies everywhere, until I know I have not eaten or not,” Reno chuckles while grabbing a plate of packaged rice that has been prepared on the table.
His stomach was no longer able to compromise. Picked up by Tomi and Edo makes Reno only had time to eat a piece of bread this morning.
“Nano says the food she bought for you is still intact on your papa's table knowing that you haven't had lunch.”
“Too excited to be here when you hear the good news from Om.”
“Yes already you enjoy your lunch first, Om finish this important document a little.”
“Casual aja, Om, today Reno not to campus and papa office.”
Just 10 minutes Reno has tidied up the former food and brought it to the pantry. Once back inside Om Boris' room, the 2-year-old man from papa Robert was already sitting on the sofa with a pile of files.
“Two days ago there was a woman delivering this,” Om Boris thrusting a large envelope. “It looks like it's still a kid.”
Om Boris turned on his laptop and showed CCTV footage of the front of his office reaching the reception room.
“Nia,” hiss Reno. “He's his best friend Chelsea.”
“Call it.” Om Boni laughed making Reno frown in confusion.
“It's all from Chelsea.”
Om Boni took out the contents of the envelope and saw a signed affidavit on top of the stamp and another letter all written by hand.
“Chelsea official statement letter noting everything he saw while meeting you in a hotel room. Quite detailed. It must not be easy for him to remember the events he wanted to forget.”
Reno sighed and felt Chelsea struggle to fight her heartache just to help Reno.
“Chelsea also sent you some of these photos. Everything was taken using his camera phone. In the note he gave, Chelsea said you managed to make him want to cancel your match so he took these photos to give to your father as the reason. But why Chelsea changed her mind, she didn't tell me why.”
Reno fell silent and read another piece written by Chelsea as a note only not a statement and without the stamp.
“And this is the result of diving in the club that you said. Your informant is safe because the investigation is conducted officially so that it can be used as evidence. In the recording it is seen that Sherly quite often come to the place with his friends and meet different men.”
Reno saw the CCTV footage playing on the laptop. The show was not entirely intact, only showing activity that showed Sherly was there.
“But all this cannot deny the results of the DNA test provided by Sherly, Om. And to do the fetal DNA test again is not allowed by the obstetrician because it could be at risk of miscarriage in the fetus Sherly.”
“Chelsea said it wasn't yours because there were no initials on the end. Chelsea sure is different because he carved the initials of the name.”
Reno danced a comb that was still wrapped in plastic and watched it more closely and exactly what Om Boris said.
“Indeed the first time Sherly showed this as proof you didn't check it again ? Good thing Chesea remembers the details well.” ledek Om Boris.
“This comb is actually long gone, exactly when I just wanted to go to college. Yesterday when I saw it back and it was used as evidence, I just thought that maybe the comb was taken by Sherly because it was too obsessed. After all it didn't occur to ascertain whether the comb was mine or not, this thought was already made tense with Sherly.”'s lie
“The DNA test problem is all done according to the procedure including the comparator used is true belongs to the biological father of the fetus Sherly, only the name is changed. It seems like the authorities have found the administrative officer who falsified the data, only he has not yet confessed and denied his accusations.”
“So I can already deny Sherly's accusation, Om ?”
“Om has spoken to your father to mediate first, do not go straight to court. If they still argue, we will run the procedure according to the provisions of the law.”
“I've been a little relieved, Om.”
“If Om still has an unmarried child, it feels like he wants to also match him with Chelsea. It turns out that your papa's view of women still remains observant as it used to know which is good and suitable,” lead om Boris while laughing.
Reno just smiled faintly. It began to appear regret for having rejected Chelsea even to hurt the girl. It turns out that some of the evidence he got was with the help of Chelsea.
****
Reno had just arrived home at about 7 p.m. His house was quiet because papa and mama were attending their friend's birthday party invitation.
Reno went straight up to her room on the 2nd floor and passed her dinner. Unable to stand his sticky body, Reno went straight into the bathroom and cleaned herself up. After the shower, footsteps led him to the window of the room facing Chelsea's room.
The curtains were closed and opened in the morning. Without Reno realizing it turns out that the room is no longer occupied by the owner since 1.5 months ago. Stupidly Reno didn't notice it at all.
Reno's memory floated back at a time when none of this had happened. Chelsea must have been standing on the balcony of her room when she found out Reno had arrived home. The girl would wait for Reno there and whenever Reno wanted to close the curtain, Chelsea stood up while holding a piece of cardboard with the same inscription.
MAY YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DREAM TONIGHT
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE ME IN YOUR DREAMS, TOO
Reno memorized the big writing held by Chelsea because almost every day the girl showed it to Reno who just read it without opening the balcony door of her room to return Chelsea's hand.
And now the balcony is empty, even the curtains are tightly closed even though the time has not shown at 10 p.m.
Reno picked up the phone from inside the bag and deliberately sat on the floor leaning against the bedside.
His hand instantly opened the messaging app and searched the name of the Parrot there. Her lips revealed a smile reading the messages sent by the chatty and spoiled girl.
Most of Reno has been removed because he does not want to be toxic in his life including photos that are often visited by Chelsea.
Reno supported her head with one hand resting on her bent knee and sighed many times while reading the remains of the message Chelsea sent and looking at the photos.
Loss and longing. Those two flavors suddenly filled Reno's heart space. His hand rubbed the photo of Chelsea plastered on the screen and his heart suddenly thumped.
That loss and longing pushed the other's sense into the surface of Reno's heart. A sense that continues to be hidden deeply in the recesses of his heart but unknowingly makes Reno endure and reject many women who want to be close to him even become his lover including Sherly.
Unknowingly all that Reno did because he did not want to replace the position of Chelsea in his heart, but his ego and stupidity actually made him consciously and deliberately deliberately deliberately hurt Chelsea
Reno rubbed the corner of her wet eyes. He recalled the words Chelsea said while treating him on the back porch.
“If an apology can make someone forget his heart has been hurt, then there will be no parting words and regrets.”
At that time Reno was still lying with his heart until he did not feel anything to hear the words of Chelsea that insinuated him.
Reno's hand immediately pressed Chelsea's number but was no longer active. Reno did not give up, he wrote a message and hoped one day Chelsea would read it.
I'll come see you after all this business is done, Sea. I love you and lost you so much, Inner Reno while typing a message for Chelsea.
