Happy After Parting With You

Chapter 38

"Maybe Rani needs some time to be alone, Vin, and she's hesitant to be honest with you."

Arman began to open his voice, since earlier he noticed Alvin who continued to talk with Rani. Alvin squinted his eyes after hearing the words of his best friend.

"Since when have you been involved in Rani's business?" Alvin stared dislikefully at his best friend.

"Since I found out that he's my old best friend." Arman answered while crossing both hands on his chest.

"What?" Alvin widened his eyes, not believing Arman's words.

"You remember, don't you, about the best friend I told you about? He's the one."

Alvin was glued, he remembered how Arman so adored his best friend that he often told me first. He also remembers Arman's desire to meet again and express his feelings.

"So–." Alvin could not continue his sentence, his index finger hanging weakly in the air.

"Okay, Ran, we're leaving now, I'm afraid you'll miss your flight." Arman said as he glanced at his watch, he also prepared to re-enter his car.

"Let me drive him." Alvin's voice stopped him, Arman looked at the man with a frown.

"Are you not busy today? It's okay to let me drive him, I don't have a show today anyway." Arman remained steadfast in offering his help.

"It's okay, I've cancelled all events today."

Arman looked at the man who had long been his best friend in wonder, not usually Alvin left his important business to someone who was not who he was. Rani herself was also speechless, confused by the attitude of these two men before her.

"It's okay, Vin, I know for sure you're busy today. So, let me drive Rani to the airport."

"Don't I drive him."

The two were still arguing, both volunteering to drive the woman to the airport. Until without them knowing Rani is fiddling with her phone and ordering a taxi online.

"My fathers hope you calm down."

Rani raised her hand, asking the two men to stop their debate.

"I'm very concerned about your help, but I'm sorry, it looks like I have to go to the airport myself."

"Don't!" The two men exclaimed simultaneously, then they looked at each other and both threw their faces away. Making Rani look at them while shaking her head.

"I'll take you with me, Ran, as planned." Arman remains determined to deliver Rani.

"Ran, please! You lied to your departure plan. And now you refuse also my intention to send you?"

Rani is plagued by a dilemma, she is confused to have to listen to whose speech. At the same time, a minibus car stopped near them. Rani turned around and approached the car to determine if it was the car she ordered. After that Rani is seen removing her suitcase from Arman's car.

"Lho, Ran, what are you doing?" Arman intends to prevent Rani, not only Arman but Alvin has also come forward to approach the woman and hold her hand that is lifting the suitcase.

"Ran, we, right, have been making a pact since this morning. You want to cancel that." Said Arman with his face, he felt guilty with the man, but how else. He also could not comply with both requests.

"Before thank you for the attention of the two of you, but sorry, I can't keep up with your requests. So, let me go alone."

Rani was already about to drag her suitcase, but the exclamations of the two men could not stop her. Rani kept stepping up and entered the car she had ordered. Followed by the gazes of the two men who wanted to drive him.

The online taxi drove, from the reflection of the rearview mirror Rani could see the two men trying to chase after her, but her efforts failed because the car had gone faster. He could still see them standing in frustration, one of which even looked like kicking something to vent the frustration. Rani tried not to care, she was already quite tired of the problems that had befallen her lately.

The plane Rani was boarding had taken off leaving the city, below which she could see the houses of the residents that looked like rows of boxes. The longer the smaller along with the higher the plane he was riding. Rani sighed heavily, she hoped that her vacation this time could clear her mind.

Rani arrived at Ngurah Rai Airport moments later, she dragged her luggage away from the airport area and towards the travel car that had picked her up. An hour's drive he finally arrived at a hotel where he was staying. Rani lagsung broke her body when she reached the hotel room.

***

I don't know how long the woman had been asleep, she woke up hearing a noise from her phone. He looked for the flat object with eyes that were still heavy to open. Finally after a while his hand touched, the thing met as well.

"Hallo!" Sapa Rani without seeing who contacted her.

"How are you, Ran, did you arrive safely?"

Rani scrunched her forehead, her eyes then opened wide. He hurriedly checked his phone, seeing who was contacting him because he did not hear the voice of the man

"Arman?" Ask after reading the name of the contact.

"Yes, it's me, how are you okay, right?"

"Yes, I've arrived since then and fell asleep." Rani answered while inching to sit up and leaning her body on the back of the bed.

"Thank God that you arrived safely, I hope you can enjoy your vacation."

"Thank you, Man."

After talking for a while with Arman, Rani hangs up the phone. He then read the incoming chat, from Alvin.

"Ran, have you arrived in Bali yet?"

"Ran, answer me."

"Rani, are you okay?"

Rani reads a spate of messages sent by Alvin, there are also some missed calls from the man. Looks like Alvin contacted him half an hour ago. Rani does not intend to reply, she chose to get out of bed and go to the bathroom to clean herself.

***

Rani chose to eat dinner at a restaurant that is still one location with the hotel he occupied. While waiting for his order came the woman opened her phone. There are some messages coming in. And that was from the two men he was trying to avoid. Rani widened her eyes after reading a message from the two men whose contents were almost the same.
