Labuhan Cinta The Playboy

Missing in the Past

...🍁🍁🍁...

"..........But---"

"But what, Mom?"

Visha could not hide her curiosity.

"There's a chance that you miss him---"

"Did? Wh-what do you mean by mother?"

"Since the first day you sent an order to the Brahms Corp building, you never again cried out in your sleep. That means your condition is getting better. Thanks to your meeting, your condition is improving."

"Ti-impossible---"

Visha tries to digest every word Karina's mother explains. He still can't believe everything that's happened.

"Nduk--Did you miss him?"

"Eh?"

Visha stared fixedly at Karina's mother. Visha's tears could not stand it. He immediately rushed into the arms of Karina's mother. He was crying there.

...***...

Rocky returns to meet Sania at the orphanage. Sania keeps avoiding Rocky and doesn't bully him.

"Well what else did you come here?"

"I told you already. I won't give up on being able to get sorry from you, Sania."

Sania threw away her face.

"Why are you apologizing now? It's been six years, Rocky! And I guess it's no use."

"I knew. I'm a jerk! I really regret what I did to you. Please, Sania! I beg you to forgive me!"

Rocky showed his regret.

"Look, Rocky. I never cursed you. Although I used to be hurt so much by you, but--- I've forgotten about it."

"So--you forgive me?"

"Nothing to forgive. We have lived each of our lives. I'm glad you've changed so much. Just be the good Rocky he is now. Don't go back to the old Rocky. That's all I want to say."

"Thank you, Sania."

"After this, don't see me again. I'm already married. I don't want my husband to be mistaken about our relationship."

"Thank you, Sania. Thanks again."

Rocky says goodbye to Sania with the face of sumringah. He felt that his goal to drive away bad luck had succeeded.

Sania looked at Rocky with a smile. He recalls how he left Rocky at the insistence of his parents.

*Flashback*

"How's your relationship with Rocky?" Ask Papa Sania.

"Good, Pa. What's the matter?"

"Don't keep covering it up. You think Papa doesn't know about your boyfriend's behavior out there?"

"Pa, Rocky isn't like that!"

"Don't keep defending him! He's not a good man, Sania. He's just a spoiled kid who likes to waste his parents' money. And again, he's not serious about you."

"Pa--"

"When will he formally propose to you? You're almost 25 years old. When are you going out without any clarity?"

"............"

"You should have been with her brother. He's more responsible than Rocky. Why did you pick that bastard, huh? What are his advantages over Galang?"

"Pa--Don't say bad about Rocky."

"You better leave him! Papa will introduce you to Papa's friend's son. His name is Yogi Pratama, owner of YP Cons. You've met him a few times. If you can't be with Galang, then you'll have Papa match up with Yogi."

.

Sania's memories make her long for the past with Rocky and Galang.

Actually Sania knew Galang first. She is a level sister who became an idol of the new students on campus. Sania accidentally ventured to get acquainted with Galang. And soon they became close as friends. Then Galang introduced Rocky to Sania when Rocky returned to Indonesia during the semester break.

And somehow Sania is even more interested in the aggressive Rocky than the quiet Galang. When Rocky finally confesses his feelings for Sania. Sania happily accepts Rocky's feelings, even though they have to date long distance aka LDR, because Rocky studied abroad.

Sania never knew Rocky's behavior while living abroad. Sania doubts Rocky but Sania always falls apart if Rocky comes home to see him and gets his heart back.

Until Rocky finishes his education and returns home, Sania begins to investigate Rocky who often comes to nightclubs and drinks alcohol.

Sania can be said to be a patient woman, because she always forgives Rocky for his actions. Sania believes that Rocky was just playing with the girls at the club that night. And his love is only for a Sania. Sania still believes that, until her father finally convinces Sania to leave Rocky and marry someone else.

.

"Sania? What are you doing here?"

"I want to meet you. Long time no see, Galang--"

"We'll talk at the cafe, how about it?"

Sania nodded.

.

.

"How are you?" ask Galang.

"I'm good. You alone? Looks like your efforts are getting better."

"Yes that's how."

"Rocky's been seeing me lately."

"Eh? Is he bothering you?"

"No. But---he just felt like he had to apologize to me."

"Why?"

"He thought that his bad luck all along was because I cursed him."

Little smile. "What does that mean?"

"It seems he's met with a psychic. And the psychic said so."

"Hmmm, even though I told her not to believe in such things."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Eh? A boyfriend? I'm close to a woman."

"Oh, really? Do I know him?"

"No. You don't know him. I met him when there was an event in Semarang."

"Oh, so."

"Sania-I'm sorry if Rocky is still bothering you. Don't mind him. His efforts have not been good lately. So, he's acting a little out of his mind."

"It's okay. I can understand. It must be hard for her."

"I have to leave immediately, San. There's a meeting with a client. See you soon."

"Yes. Thanks for the time."

Sania saw Galang walking away. There was a little bit of disappointment because he did not choose Galang.

If I had chosen to be with you, I would be happy. That's only-if... Inner Sania while smiling knot.

- Pratama Residence

Sania arrived at her house and was immediately greeted by her husband who had arrived first.

"You just got home? Where have you been?"

"I met an old friend, Mom. Have you had dinner yet?"

"Old friend? Wh who? Why not let me go first?"

"Sorry, Mas. I'm afraid I'm busy being---"

"I hear your ex-lover is looking for you. Is that true?"

"Eh?"

"Rocky Abraham, the son of the owner of Brahms Corp, he is your ex-lover isn't he? Why does he keep looking for you? Did you just meet her?"

"No, Mas. Not so---"

"The company is trying to compete with YP Cons. But he always fails. Is that why he's meeting you?"

"No, Mum." Sania started to get frightened by the change in her husband's mood.

"alright. I consider you honest. But if you see him again, then you'll know the consequences."

Yogi steps away leaving Sania who is still standing trembling because of being smitten by him. Sania tried to hold back her tears from falling.

It was at this moment that Sania began to realize something.

I should've stayed by Rocky's side. I have to be more patient with him because he can change. I made a decision too soon. And now I regret it.
