My Secret Romance's
Episode 44



Airports P ...


Anin immediately ran inside to buy her return ticket to Indonesia.


"Ah, I hope there's a flight tonight."


*


Rei got up and left his mother.


"Honey, where are you going??"


"Find Anin!!!"


Rei answered his mama while passing by.


"Y!!!!


The screams of Madame Savian were not echoed by Rei. He continued walking without caring for his mom, then stopped a taxi.


"P Airport" Rei ordered the driver.


Rei looked out, staring at the frenzy of traffic that was starting to quiet down. She was sure, Anin must be where she was headed.


"Darling, don't leave me" Rei said, then closed his eyes.


**


Madam Savian could only cry, imagining the sadness that Rei was now feeling. Lady Savian felt guilty for what happened to her son. But if she doesn't do that, her husband and son will continue to be hostile to each other. And Mrs Savian didn't want this to happen to her family.


Mrs Savian then left the cafe feeling guilty, and returned to her residence.


Speed is driven by time. That's what Rei feels now. He was already impatient to find Anin, the person he cared about the most.


"A little fist, please. i'm in hiding"


"Okay, Sir!"


The driver increased his speed in the middle of the streets of Paris nightlife. He knew the passenger was in a hurry. Because he could see the uneasiness from Rei's face.


*


Shortly after, Rei arrived and he immediately ran to find Anin's whereabouts inside. Rei ran to and fro, but did not find Anin's whereabouts.


Rei saw the scheduled departure from Paris tonight to city B, and as it turned out, Anin had already left!!.


"Myyaaang!!"


Rei could only cry restrained, after finding out that Anin had decided to leave him. He sat down weakly, and all eyes looked at him.


For a long time, Rei stayed there, then he left with shaky steps, and a very broken feeling.


*


On the plane, Anin can only hold back her sobs, trying to face the fact that her dreams just crumbled. But Anin realized, she also could not attach importance to her own selfishness. He also had no intention of destroying Rei's family, let alone breaking the relationship between father and son.


"I'm sorry, baby!!"


Anin closed her eyes, trying to neutralize the back of her chaotic mind.


**


Rei returned to his apartment with a very difficult feeling to express. He went into his room, intending to lay down his extremely tired body. But the sight that seemed to make him even sadder. Anin's clothes and all her belongings, were still neatly arranged there.


Rei could only look at him, and did not feel his tears flowing. He came out of his room and laid his body on the sofa, and he fell asleep.


*


Arriving in the city of B, Anin immediately stopped a taxi and went to a hotel. Anin thought, staying at a hotel for a while was the best option for her at the moment.


"Ah, my things still live there. Luckily my wallet and passport are all in this bag."


Anin checked her bag again, seeing what she brought back to Indonesia.


"Gosh, I forgot that my phone wasn't here. Is it possible to live in an apartment?? Or at the cafe??"


Anin remembers where she left her phone. "Yah!! my head hurts!! I'll buy the one I just bought tomorrow. I'd better get some sleep tonight."


Anin tried to comfort her heart. It was hard, but this was the reality he had to face now.


••••


In the morning, at Rafa's house.


All life was going on normally, and it had been 3 weeks as well Anin left them without giving any news.


Rafin, who woke up early today, ran to the kitchen to meet Bi Inah.


"grandmother??"


"Yes??? Rafin hungry??" bi Inah asked as soon as she saw her grandson looking at her gently.


"No no no!! Apin's not hungry, Grandma. Apin just wanted to tell me that Apin was dreaming about Anin's mom."


"What dream granddaughter?? Rafin misses mommy??"


Rafin nodded and hugged his grandmother. "Apin dreams if mom comes home with a toy banyaaaaaak. Mommy also brought clothes for Apin. Anyway everything's good!!"


Rafin told his dream very excitedly.


"Mommy, if you go home, bring lots of toys. Have patience, son?? Grandma also misses your mother," said Bi Inah increasingly tightened her embrace.


"How are you, son?? Why haven't you told me yet?? Did something happen to you???"


Bi Inah was very worried about Anin's state. It's not usually that his daughter is like that. Anin never hid her problems with her family especially with Bi Inah.


"Rafin wait for grandma here, huh?? Grandma's gonna grab some breakfast for Rafin."


Rafin nodded obediently, then he sat down sweetly while looking at Bi Inah.


*


The LUX hotel.


Anin tried to open her eyes which were still very sleepy. But this morning, she had to go buy a new phone and then contact Bi Inah to give her news.


He realized, he must have greatly worried Bi Inah and the others.


Anin wakes up from her sleep, collects the remains of her life, then goes to take a bath to refresh herself.


*


"After almost 30 minutes, Anin came out of her room, looked at herself in the mirror, and laughed.


"Geez!! How do I get out in clothes like this. I just realized, it turns out I came out of Rei's apartment just using this," Anin said as she circled.


He went out and looked at the sky. His mind now floated to Rei. The heart that tried to be strong from yesterday until this morning, finally broke down as well


"You, how are you??" she tried to hold back her tears.


But what power, the tear dam that he was trying to withstand from yesterday finally spilled as well. The heart that he thought would be strong like steel, turned out to be weak like dust.


Anin cried for quite a while in her room. He thought luck would be on his side. But it didn't. He was not sure if he was still in need in this world. Anin often thinks why his life is so unfair. She had to lose both her parents, become pregnant out of wedlock, and now had to close the door of her heart, as well as bury deeply into all her dreams.


"Ah, I don't even have face to face anymore to meet my family. How many times have I disappointed them. I don't even know how to thank you for saving my life and Rafin."


Anin could only lament every stupidity he had done. And now, he must have disappointed Rafa who has helped him so much, saving his life and his family.


"Ah, I better not go home first. I don't want to bother them anymore" Anin said, then took her phone and contacted someone.


"Hello ..."


"Hi, Anin. How are you??"


He is Arum, Anin's 1st school friend while in High School and they are pretty close. After graduating high school, Arum and his family moved to the city of K. And chose to continue his studies, while Anin did not. But their communication is still intertwined, although not as often as it used to be.


"I'm good. You how??"


"I'm good too ..."


Their conversation continued for almost 1 hour. Until Anin asks Arum for a job. Anin knew that the Arum family had a very famous company in their city. Anin just wanted to go as far away from everything as possible, because Anin felt very embarrassed if he had to go home with the fact that again and again, Anin was dumped.


"Alright, Nin. Tomorrow you come here. I'll help you talk to my dad. You take it easy."


"No need, Rum. Um, I mean, I don't intend to refuse your help. I will work according to the vacancy. High School graduates like me, can only occupy a position as cleaning service only, that is good enough. And I'm so grateful."


"Are you sure, Nin??"


"I'm very sure"


"All right, then. Tomorrow you come here. I'll send you the address, okay??'


"Thank you, huh??"


"Together, Nin. You helped me when we were in school. Now it's my turn to help you. Okay, don't you forget tomorrow, okay?? I have to go now. Bye, Anin!!"


"Bye, Arum!!"


Anin smiled in relief, at least until she could face her embarrassment, Anin would continue to hide in Arum's company.


"Now, how am I going to contact Mom?? I have to give him the news, tell him everything's in good shape. Buty?? How-how?? Am I in Indonesia?"
