Love Sheila

S2 Tells To Safa

"Assalamu'alaikum, can Mas Rian please pick up Safa?" ask Safa over the phone call.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Safa's. Pick up now?" asked Adrian who is currently sitting in his big chair with a cellphone attached to his ear.

"Yes now. Safa had no more hours of college, but there were books that Safa had to buy for research. Rian is busy? Can you send Safa to the bookstore?"

"OKAY. Mas Rian otewe now. You wait a minute."

"Okay Mas, Safa wait. Thanks yeah. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Phone connection disconnected. Adrian got up from his seat, grabbed the car keys and rushed out of his room.

"Where are you going, Lo?" sean asked as they passed each other in front of Adrian's office door.

"Safa asked to be escorted to the bookstore."

"But soon we have a meeting with the marketing department" Sean reminded.

Adrian patted his own forehead, he forgot.

"Please Lo handle first Sean, please, just this once," please Adrian.

"Huh, Lo that, if it's Safa's business must have forgotten the same as the others," insisted Sean.

"Sorry Bro's. But I can't break my promise either. So please, this time."

"Yes yes. Fortunately, Lo had a reliable secretary," Sean finally relented.

"Yes, thanks Bro," girly Adrian. "Clear dong. That's also why I'm more choosy secretary than girl, more reliable and less baper."

"OK-okay, I agree Lo. I was looking for it too. By the way, tell Safa, look at the sikon if you want to jump around. If you don't want to tell me, I will directly negur him," said Sean firmly.

"Yes-yes, I said. Don't be too hard on Safa Bro."

"Not hard, but firm. Let him not be alone either."

"Yes yes. I'll tell Safa. Yes, I left first, pity that Safa will wait later," cut Adrian.

"Be careful" Sean said.

"Okay," Adrian replied as he gave his right thumb.

Adrian then half ran to the elevator. Sean could only shake his head at the behavior of his best friend.

"Bucin base," Sean's banter which of course can not be heard by Adrian because the elevator door is closed.

Two years later, the company led by Sean and Adrian is increasing rapidly. Sean and Adrian apparently able to bring the company back up and develop well.

It is certainly a pride for Steven and Andika. Their son was able to prove their prowess and ability in leading the company.

That afternoon Andika came to Steven in his company.

"Steven has Yas?" andika asks Yas as she passes Yas's desk.

"There's Bang. Just come in" replied Yas.

"Okay, come on in first."

"Yes Bang."

Andika knocks on the door of Steven's study room and enters after Steven's invitation.

"Assalamu'alaikum Steve," said Andika.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh Bang, tumben. What's up?" steven asked a little surprised.

Andika then sat herself on the sofa and Steven immediately followed her.

"There's a little bad news Steve. Darius called Brother, he said Ikhsan is dead."

"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un."

Steven was very surprised to hear the news brought Andika.

"Dzuhur? Not hunted dong Bang if we want to go there," Steven regretted.

"Darius forbade us to come. Avoiding the possibility of Raka still looking for them."

"But it seems like Raka is not trying to find their whereabouts anymore, right Bang?" steven asked to confirm the news he had.

"As far as the observation of Abang, it has stopped. But we don't know either."

"Where was Sonia's education and her sisters Bang?"

"Sonia is still in college, two more semesters if not wrong. And lucky he got an achievement scholarship from the campus. Both of his younger siblings are still in High School with Junior High."

"It still costs a lot. Can we help them secretly?"

"Maybe. Let me find a way later."

"Okay, please do it Bang," said Steven.

"definitely. When are you going to tell Safa about Sonia's problem Steve?"

"Entah Bang. The child's heart is still very fragile when it comes to Sonia."

"That's exactly Steve. We should tell Safa everything we know. At least so Safa can calm down and not keep thinking about how Sonia is now," proposed Andika.

Steven was breathing rough.

"Try Steven talking to Sheila first Bang."

Andika nodded in agreement.

That night after dinner Steven invited Sheila and her three children to gather in the family room. Steven had already spoken and asked Sheila for consideration. And it was finally decided that they would tell Safa about Sonia's problems.

Steven and Sheila deliberately sat to the right and left of Safa. To make it easier for them to hug and calm Safa later.

"Safa, there's something I want to talk to you about" Steven said.

"What's the matter, Dad?" ask Safa.

"Son, I actually know where Sonia and her family are."

"What??? Real dad? You're not lying anymore, are you? I'm not lying to Safa anymore, am I?" safa asked in shock and was very enthusiastic.

"Dear, I'm not lying" Steven replied.

"Where does Sonia keep now Yah? How's Sonia doing?" safa asked as she clasped Steven's hand with both hands.

Steven then tells everything he knows about Sonia to Safa. Where they are now, how they are, why they had to leave, and also tell about Sonia's recently deceased father.

Safa kept crying inside Sheila's arms as Steven told her everything. Sean and Syafiq did not have the heart to see their beloved sister like that.

"Safa wants to meet Sonia Bun," whined Safa between her cries.

"Sowness hasn't allowed darling. Do not let us actually make Sonia and her family in danger because their existence is known," said Sheila who also had shed tears while continuing to gently stroke Safa's head.

"But Safa is very much like Sonia Bun."

"Mother knows baby. Sonia must be missing you too. The proof is that Sonia tried several times to call your old number even though she didn't succeed."

"But now Mother asks you to be patient first, baby. Wait until the circumstances allow, and you can definitely meet Sonia again. What is important now is that we know where Sonia and her family are. And we also know that they are in good shape" Sheila continued.

"Sonia must be really sad right now Bun. Safa wants to be able to hug and comfort Sonia."

"Dear, Mother knows. But now all we can do is be patient and pray for Sonia, hopefully Sonia and her family will be strong in facing this ordeal and be able to recieve the departure of their father."

Safa wakes up from Sheila's arms and turns to face Steven and holds his father's hands together.

"Well, please find Sonia's phone number. As if Safa could hear Sonia's voice if indeed Safa had not been able to meet Sonia, "please Safa still with tears streaming down.

"Dika's father and father are also trying dear. You're patient, yes" Steven replied.

Steven pulled Safa into his arms. Gently stroking Safa's head tried to calm her down. Sheila also stroked Safa's back which continued to tremble because of her crying.

Sean and Shafiq wiped away a tear in the corner of their eyes. The atmosphere in the family room was so blue.
