Marrying for a Bet
Nostalgic
The school bell rings indicating that the time has begun. One by one the students came out of the classroom to go to the cafeteria. There are those who go to the basketball court, or just chat under a shady tree.
Vanka smiled when she saw them all. It felt like he wanted to wear that white-gray uniform again. Bian who was walking next to Vanka also looked at the woman with a smile. Both of them used to do those things.
Until accidentally, the two met their teacher first.
“ Good afternoon ma'am,” said Vanka while shaking the teacher's hand. It was also done by Bian.
“ Good day, eh Vanka and Bian right?”
Both nod.
“ Geez it feels like a long time ago yes,” said their teacher while patting the shoulders of both.
“ Yes ma'am. Oh, by the way, you're healthy, right? ” ask Vanka.
“ I'm healthy. How are you two? ”
“ Thank God you are healthy,” said they both simultaneously. At once, Vanka turned his eyes.
“ Still compact the story. Reversed huh? ” the teacher's temptation.
Vanka used to confide in him a lot. So he knows what happened between Vanka and Bian.
“ Eh-no! ” elak Vanka asap. Bian was silent.
“ Yes Van, don't be ashamed,” but then he remembered something and immediately looked at Bian.
“ Bian, you're Giovano's successor right? ”
“ Yes ma'am, I'm the successor.”
“ Keep the old lead how? ”
“ My father is sickly.”
“ Former assistant director? Still in jail? ”
Bian smiled knot. “ In isolation in mental hospital. All in defense time.”
Vanka. Huh huh? Wh who?
Their teacher shook his head slowly and his face showed compassion.
“ Poor yes, but not necessarily he who is wrong. Actually the case is also still mining from two years ago.”
“ Sorry mom, but ap—” case
“ Recently the assistant of the company Nugraha also died. And they suspect Giovano again, how could it be Bian? ”
Her bead eyes began to be serious to the point that she cut Vanka's words. This is what if the housewife has talked about a hot topic. They were even willing to stand up for hours. Take Vanka and Bian.
“ I don't know mom either. There is indeed evidence that points to my company, just like two years ago. But the evidence is also not strong because the perpetrator left the evidence at the scene.”
“ Oh yes? Uh but by the way, what's your face? ”
“ Nothing really bu, just a small wound.”
“ Bian is still the same as it used to be, Vanka, likes to be low,” said their teacher to Vanka who smiled small.
Honestly, the woman was upset that she knew nothing about their discussion.
“ Yes already if so I say yes first. For you Bian, whatever it is and who is at fault, yes you must remain optimistic about your company. Hopefully the perpetrator is not from the side of Giovano.”
Bian nodded and thanked me. Before long their teacher passed, and the two of them also continued their footsteps. To a place they used to visit. And that's where Vanka wants Bian to explain everything.
….
Naufal is still faithfully sitting in his car while waiting for someone to get out of the company. He glanced at a brown envelope located on the seat next to him. Naufal hit his wheel and breathed a rough sigh.
Somehow he was hesitant to give the envelope to the Algar. Well now Naufal is waiting for the Algar who will soon be out of the company. The man had already obtained a stock letter from the Algar, and now he would give his reward.
Shortly after, Algar got out of there and walked towards Naufal's car. Shit, the movement is so fast in Naufal's mind. The man immediately took the envelope and held it very firmly.
“ Yo, sorry to wait a long time,” said Algar while sitting next to Naufal.
“ Should be much longer.”
Algar laughed while shaking slowly. “ Didn't go away? ”
“ By the way Fal, your car glass darkens? ”
“ Dark, it's quiet aja.”
“ Okay. Yaudah, where here is the certificate,” Algar said as he raised his hand.
“ Before that I want nanya.”
Algar cringing. “ What? ”
“ Actually why do you aim for this certificate? ” answered Naufal while lifting the envelope he had in his hand.
Algar smile. “ Your questions are not exactly Fal. It is clear that all investors will target your foreign certificate.”
“ But one message I Al, don't gross this stock.”
“ Safe.”
They both shook hands as a sign that the stock certificate now belonged to Algar. The Nugraha ace has now been in the hands of someone else.
….
An afternoon breeze blew away Vanka's black mane. The woman put her hand in the pocket of the blazer and let the wind play with her hair. Bian who was also standing beside the woman could only look at Vanka with a smile. They both set foot on the roof of the school.
“ You used to remember when I first shot you here? ”
Vanka chuckles. “ No way I forgot.”
“ Remember, you used to kill yourself here? ”
The question immediately changed the look of Vanka's face to flat.
“ Don't need to be discussed.”
Bian laughed and ruffled Vanka's hair. “ Sorry yes? ”
“ Yes Yes I am sorryin.”
They both went back to silence. Playing with each other's minds.
“ Van.”
“ Bi.”
Both of them looked back, then laughed.
“ You first,” said Vanka.
“ Ladies first,” Reply Bian.
“ Hm.oke deh.”
Before speaking, Vanka closed his eyes first, then faced Bian.
“ What did Siska say? About Giovano.”
“ You don't see the news? Oh yeah forget, you don't like watching the news,” Bian chuckles.
“ Come dong answered,” Vanka weld.
“ Two years ago Naufal's father was killed. And the culprit was my father's own assistant director considering the evidence was quite strong, although there was still a bit of a weird. But in order to solve the case, finally Mr. Daniel was imprisoned and he became depressed continue to be detained in the mental hospital.”
Vanka was stunned after hearing a lengthy explanation from Bian.
“ Continue why Nugraha suspected again that who killed sir Surya was from the side of Giovano?”
Bian smiling. “ You know if we have made one mistake, it will be remembered repeatedly.”
“ Right too,” said Vanka while bowed. But a few seconds later, Vanka remembered something.
“ But I heard an explanation from Dafa yesterday, if the evidence is a knife, and there is also a code on his leg. Mean what? ”
Bian looked up at the sky while sighing softly.
“ Well...we have that code each.”
SERIATE.
