Not Ordinary Slant

The Forty Five

Rain always manages to keep a person stuck with longing. Like Agya, who was sitting on the edge of an open window. He was watching the rain that was free-falling to the ground.

For several days he did not reply to messages from Rafis and many times he avoided the young man, if he went to the house. After all mama will fiercely throw him away, while Gio this time chose silence.

Just now that Agya thought about it, the young man immediately appeared by jumping over the guardrail of their house, to make Agya widen his eyes, shocked. However, the young man actually waved his hand with a sigh.

"I'm climbing, yeah." It seemed like that was the meaning of Rafis's voiceless lips under there because after that the young man really tried to climb. Crazy one!

"Wait under!" agya's orders, firm. Then, the girl ran out of the room and down the stairs. Lucky your mom is in the hospital. Meanwhile, Rafis waited sweetly below while grinning.

"Crazy for you, Fis!"

Agya pulled Rafis' hand to go up to the porch because the young man was silent under the rain. Then, get rid of the water droplets on Rafis's face and shoulders with his hands. However, Agya soon stops when she realizes Rafis is looking at her too warmly.

"I could be even crazier if you nyuekin I'm like gini," said Rafis slowly.

Agya did not react. He just looked at Rafis, deep. "Raphen?"

"Hm?"

There were so many different things that Rafis felt when he looked at Agya. The look, the tone of voice, even the girl's feelings. Agya looks so desperate.

"Do you believe me?" ask Agya, finally.

Rafis nodded.

"Then do nothing."

Rafis. He just looked at Agya inside. "What do you have a plan for?"

Agya only smiled faintly, then shrugged both of her shoulders. "I don't know."

Seeing Agya's response, Rafis raised his hand, then rubbed the top of the girl's head. "What are you worried about Gya? I guarantee you can sustain our lives and your family."

Agya brushed Rafis' hand off his head. Then, look at Rafis inside. "I want to restore my pride."

Next to Rafis's eyebrows raised, Agya continued. "I don't want to be labeled cheap because I run away with other men and leave my fiancee. I don't want to be stamped with matre anymore because I started a relationship with you after knowing you have money too."

Rafis smiled faintly. "I don't care. You know, right?"

This time Agya grabbed Rafis' hand, then grabbed it. "Help me back as Agya Sofia. Help me love myself again."

"If the marriage still happens?"

Agya did not answer. He just put on a bitter smile. "Take me off."

"No way!" Rafis brushed aside Agya's grasp, then left Agya with a rumbling chest.

However, that belief is only 50. However, he would risk everything because this life for him was indeed a gamble.

Rafka's forehead wrinkled when she found Yulia's name plastered on her phone screen. Tumben once his future father-in-law contacted him.

"Can you meet me now?"

"Well, I'm going to the hospital now."

"No. Meet me at the cafe near the hospital."

Again Rafka's forehead is wrinkled. He put his phone back on the table with a thought of guessing.

When looking at the mama from afar, Rafka could feel the gaze of Mother Agya was different from usual. He greeted her kindly, then sat down across from her with a polite smile.

"What do you mean?"

A sudden question put Rafka on standby. However, as much as possible he behaved normally.

"You mean Yulia?"

"Not helping, you're making our company even more chaotic!" Mama slammed a map on the table, slammed it in front of Rafka.

"Providing more offers, even threats of termination of employment to companies that intend to establish relations with us." Mama grunts. "Are you actually a partner or an enemy?!"

Rafka gulped his saliva. Staring at a glance at the map that was thrown by mama, then looking at mama back. "Please listen to my reason first Ms. Yulia."

Mom threw her eyes the other way. His breath seemed to go up and down. He did not expect the facts he had just obtained today.

"There's no way I'm going to have bad intentions for Mr. Bas's family. I ... did this to get Agya."

Mama looked back at Rafka. He needs to know the reason for his son-in-law.

"I love Agya so much and fear losing her. That's why I've come this far." Rafka brought her seat closer to her, trying to convince her. "Trust me, Mom. After we got married, I promised to make the company stable again. In fact, it's growing rapidly."

This is what Mr. Handoyo means .. Business also needs ingenuity.
