Not Just a Shadow

Not Just a Shadow
Chapter 20



My mind and my heart are full of unanswered words. Ferdian offered to ask me something that was on my mind. But before I opened my mouth to ask, he had already given me spam so I wouldn't reveal it.


 


Arrive at the Ferdian hotel directly call Rina,


Callings...


Rinna


“ Hello," replied Rina quickly, as if she had been waiting for a phone call from Ferdian.


 


“ Hello, Rin. I'm straight away, we talked about this yesterday. Why did you suddenly call me. When you call me in a position outside office hours, free dong I want to do. I'm not your fiancee or your husband. No need to go anywhere for permission. I know as high as I am in power in your Papa Company, I am still your subordinate. But that doesn't mean you should know everything about my personal life!”


 


“Soon will happen. (Ferdian breathed a rough sound by Rina ) why did Mas just shut up when Mas asked Papa for an answer to marry me immediately, while in front of me?” Lina reminded of the incident a few days ago in town B.


 


“ I only respect you in front of your papa, I want you to explain my situation to your Papa. Or you think of something else again as the reason without me hurting your pride.”


 


“ I just want to always be by your side. We both manage the company. Like Papa's hope, Papa is old and wants to rest. And you're the only one Papa believes. I should how? I can lead the company, but I am also a woman. I want to be protected and I need to be trusted. And all this time I've been depending on you because you're always beside me“


 


“ And it requires me to be in charge?“ ferdian said emotionally.


 


Ferdian was kind, gentle because it was the request of Mr. Agum, Papa Rinna. Karna Rinna is the only child who will inherit the Mandala Group. Mr. Agum expects Rinna to be comfortable while living in the Company. And educated to be a warm leader, wise, authoritative in the guidance and accompaniment of Ferdian. But not because it was also Ferdian got a high position in the Mandala group company. Educated Ferdian who fits the position, potentially in leadership. The company has grown tremendously in its leadership.


 


“ Yes. You made me misunderstand your feelings. You treat me gently, you obey everything I want, you even know what I want more than myself. Which woman wouldn't misunderstand your attitude?” Rinna.


 


“ Turns out being nice to someone can make a misunderstanding. Don't you ask me if I change my attitude!“


 


“ After you broke up with Mbak Em, you also did not be gentle with him. It's not wrong to think that I treat women differently. And you can be cold to people you don't want. I've been flipping my mind. When I have lost my feelings. Always comes the word, there's no way he has no sense with me his attitude, his gaze” said Rinna when Ferdian would close the phone.


 


“It seems like this problem is not as simple as I thought. You must have misunderstood. Just ask my sister. Ask her if I have been in a relationship with someone else for a long time. You can crosscheck my assistant. Ask about my travel schedule or my expenses. Underline, there is no action of spending company money for my personal needs. I will come out honorably if needed” phone connection ends with full of emotion.


 


Callings...


My sister's beautiful


 


“Assalamallaikum,”


 


“Waalaikumsalam, Dek.”


 


“Tumben having fun still remember with your sister, Brother?“ Letiana said as if she did not know the intent of Ferdian contacting her.


" There must be something going on, could it be that Grandma Magic has already acted." Letiana.


“ An, later if Ms. Rinna call you or get home. What is the story about the relationship of Brother and Sister Hira. Also tell me if we've been dating for a long time, it's true that way. You're the only one who just found out. You if you're afraid if you lie. You ask your future husband. All of you say, too, if you always take the time to visit Mbak Hira, okay An? You're talking big brother, right?”


“ I heard my Brother is handsome, but don't forget to..”.


 


“ Entar Brother Transfer, bankrupt tuh Si Dika keep you huh?One day don't blame Dika if he doesn't come home, overtime chasing deposit because of your work"


 


“ Brother don't talk weird huh, besides who will marry him?”


 


“ Don't do it, he's patient and obedient! Fits the same you who are a prankster and a lot of want” Ferdian laughed mockingly.


 


“ Brother Hira, safe 'right?”


 


“ Do’ aja yes Dek, thanks already care about Brother."


 


“ Oya Kak, Emma was home. I can't stand looking at his face. Pedes-pedes I talked to him. Let's not get caught. Last time he played home, he held my phone.


Looks like the last time I chatan with Brother Hira. Know Kak, where I think to go, Brother knows for himself how the character of ex-girlfriend Brother. I'm afraid her brother hurt Brother Hira. He also grumbled indistinctly which was frightening.”


 


“ Oh, maybe this is what makes suddenly Rina dare to urge me like that. He is usually very gentle. And don't dare much behavior” Inner Ferdian listen to his sister's story.


 


“Iya, Sister knows. Thanks my sister is beautiful. Brother already told me about Brother's past. But there's something else that I haven't talked to her about and Big Brother doesn't want her to get hurt knowing what you're covering up.”


 


“Whatever it is Brother must be honest with Kak Hira, Kak's anticipation so that no one else who precedes Brother story. It would hurt to know it from someone else. Moreover, you have long been in a relationship without meeting. Many things can be recorded but Brother still covers something, it will make Kak Hira more hit.”


 


“ Mature thoughts My sister, it turns out you have grown up huh? Can Brother confide. We deserved to marry dong! There was a prospective husband. Entar keburu Dika tua!”


 


“Kakak!” Letiana was a little annoyed.


 


They ended the chatter and immediately interjected in a dreamland. Because it was so late.


Ferdian opened the curtains of his hotel room, looking around in a breath of fresh morning air. Eager to approach Hira, spraying a distinctive aroma onto her body. With a cheerful step until a whistle from his mouth walked out of the parking lot.


 


“Honey," without saying hello Ferdian immediately said starting his telephone connection.


 


“ Yes Mas,”


 


“ Kok yes doang you do not forget right, we have agreed to go out.”


 


“ Mas is already on the road you Deck, you are ready right? Entar Mas let not long wait.”


 


“ Yes.iya. It's ready, just slur.”


 


“ Assalamallaikum.” suddenly heard greetings on Hira's doorstep.


 


“ Waalaikumsalam, Mas. Have not ended the conversation on the phone already at the door do not say.”


“ Ibuk there?”


“ Why ask Iu’? It's in the back, Buk... Buk..ada Mas Ferdian.” I called my mother backwards.


“ Buk, please ask permission Dek Hira his I return the night." Mas Ferdian told my mother.


 


“ Yes Son, it's okay to press omah (safe until home )” order My mother.


 


“ Thanks Mom, excuse me assalamallaikum.” Ferdian shook his hands until he bent his firm body.


 


Ferdian drove his car at a moderate speed. I don't know where to take her because yesterday she didn't say anything about where to take me. I just enjoyed this trip, my eyes looking out the car window. And listening to a live broadcast song played by Mas Ferdian, suddenly my heart was carried away by the deep voice of the singer and the lyrics of the song made me drown even more,


 


When I was alone


Just a lonely friend and a night breeze


I try to reflect


About my life path


I'm putting my feet up


And understand the meaning of life


The heart always asks


A sacred promise in love


 


My heart was carried away, remembering what Mas Ferdian said. “Will I really be able to always be by his side, always be in his life no matter what. I'm the most comfortable place for him. Will those words be true? When he's not next to me will things stay true, like this song is there a sacred promise in love?” my heart and my mind were struggling to get carried away, keeping me still staring out the window.


 


Love me a promise


Always accompany


When you are sad


When you cry


A. I'll take care


A. all the love that is there for you


As long as my breath is still


And my heart keeps calling your name beautiful


Never will this heart ever be double


Until the end of this life


“Yes Allah I really hope Mas Ferdian can be like the lyrics of this song.” My inner heart hears in it the voice of the singer is included in the lyrics of that song.


Ferdian suddenly clasped my hand tightly, as the song drew shahdu in his ear. It made me feel like I was getting a drop of water when I was thirsty lost in the heat of the desert.


“We're going where the hell is not to the point. Accompany Mas to the bird market, Mas has long not watched the bird chirping competition."


“ Far-away gini? It's just right not to say where you were. Are you afraid if I don't want to come?”


“Entar you must love to be fun, not far from there we stopped by the orchid garden. Wonderful bang.”


Long time on the way bored me, I took my phone from the bag. And I saw a chat notification from the new number. I open the chat, though,


From : +62827....


Can we get acquainted? I'm Emma.


My lyrics to Mas Ferdian's face.


To : +62827....


Emma who is it? Why suddenly want acquaintance?


I pretended not to know, but I had this hunch that it was former Mas Ferdian. As Ana warned her that Emma had no face.


From : +62827....


The Former Ferdian. You're her new boyfriend, aren't you?


I chatted Emma again, making me feel like she was going to catch fish in the sea with explosives.


“ How busy do you get yourself Deck, you angry huh? Tired? Bored?” mas Ferdian said it surprised me who was too focused on the chat Emma.


 


“Sorry, just bored. Very far, true said Mas Dika. He once said, I was told to drain Mas's pouch. 'From those who are not useful mending you drain more useful' he said. I feel really. This is proof of wanting to take this long journey alone, has made people afraid. Not yet how much money in the bag will be drained. Makes me unable to imagine.”


“ If Brother wants to say, I'm even happier. It's okay, if you drain the canton of Mas. Mas sense mas do not need to worry because Mas know, Sister is not the type of person like that. If it is true, when Dika said like that you could have immediately many requests to Mas. But in fact until now has never been.”


.


.


It doesn't feel like it's reaching its destination. Mas Ferdian immediately went down around the car and opened the door to welcome Hira down.


“ Do I need a Carp?" I hit her shoulder straight away. Ferdian took my hand to take me around.


The variety of birds and shrill chirping at each other caught my attention. Mas Ferdian looked at me and smiled because I had adapted to his hobby.


“ Can't buy, better money transfer to me just according to the price of the bird that Mas like” whispers me in his ear pull his shoulder to be more down equalize his earlobe to my lips. Ferdian kissed my lips with lightning because he was anxious to hear what I was saying. I immediately pinched his stomach and made him complain.


“ Well my dear." she said with a whisper in my ear full of temptation.
