Papa's Choice Man

Seeking you

Rayyan is at a nightclub, where she spends her nights drunk. Rayyan's life has changed drastically since Anna's stay. Rayyan who used to dislike alcohol, now can not even be far from the drink. Rayyan has never played a woman. Not even a woman dared to approach him, let alone seduce him. Because of his attitude that is always rude to every woman.

"Anna, where are you, honey..? I miss you dear, miss you so much." Rayyan said as she spread her head down at the bar table. Tears flooded his face. His hand hit the table. Rayyan looked desperate. It seems pointless that he is alive. There are so many mistakes that he has made that he has to lose those he loves. Wife, son and even mother.

Flashback 4 years ago.

Mama Ratih is shocked to learn her only son has married and will have a child without telling her. Mama Ratih fell unconscious and had to be rushed to the hospital. So long mama Ratih unconscious, to be treated in the ICU room. Rayyan was so panicked, all she thought about now was the safety of her mother. Until Rayyan forgets about Anna, who might have known who she is. Rayyan didn't even come home all night, because she had to wait for her mother in the hospital. He is not alone but accompanied by Steve. While Alfahri only came for a while, even then without the knowledge of his wife.

Steve told Rayyan a lot. And Rayyan was shocked to learn about her mother. It turns out that during this time Ratih's mother suffered from end-stage brain cancer. And the doctor said he's not too old. No one knows that but Steve. Even Alfahri himself did not know. Mama Ratih asked Steve to keep it a secret from anyone. Including Rayyan. And what struck Rayyan, all this time he let his mother live alone in a state of severe pain. Even Rayyan himself very rarely asked the news of his mother. Rayyan is so preoccupied with her ambitions that she forgets her own mother, the woman who loves her so much. He did not know if all this time his mother had to go back and forth in the hospital.

"Why didn't mom ever tell me about her illness..?" rayyan asked while crying.

"You don't want to worry about Ray. For him, your happiness is number one. Just so you know, when Fahri called him and asked him to come to Indonesia he was in hospital. At that time the doctor did not allow him to travel far, because it was very dangerous. But your mama is still reckless, she's so happy that she's going to meet you. Moreover, Fahri said that he would reveal yourself in public. That was your mother's greatest wish long ago..." Steve told me a long story.

Fahri and Ratih get married without Fahri's parents' consent. Fahri's parents disagree because Ratih is just an orphan girl. They have married Fahri to Mirna. But Fahri does not love Mirna at all, he then married Ratih secretly. In the end, Fahri's parents knew that, and he was so angry that he asked his men to kill Ratih who was pregnant with Rayyan. Fahri who knew it immediately brought Ratih out of the country and hid him there. Since then, Ratih has never returned to Indonesia.

"Thank you, 'cause you've been so kind to my mom and helped me a lot." said Rayyan.

Steve is smiling. "Om glad to be able to help your mama Ray.."

Actually without Ratih knowing, Steve has more feelings for him. But Steve did not want to tarnish their friendship. For him to always be beside Ratih is happy enough. Especially when Fahri asked her to accompany Ratih to Indonesia and pretend to be her husband, Steve also did not mind at all. He promised to always accompany Ratih, until the end of his age.

After Ratih's mother realized, Rayyan immediately returned to the apartment. He was already impatient to meet Anna and explain everything. But upon arrival at the apartment, Rayyan did not find Anna everywhere.

"Darling.., dear.." call Rayyan while looking for Anna throughout the room.

Then seen bik Sri out of his room with carrying a bag in his hand.

"Bik, where's Anna..?" rayyan asked in panic.

"Non Anna.., non Anna goes sir.." replied Sri's bik while lowering her head.

"Where to bik..?"

"Babies don't know either. Non Anna didn't tell aunt where she was going..."

Rayyan held her head "When did Anna go bik...?"

"Every night sir.. Non Anna left after seeing the father on TV..."

"What..?" Rayyan surprised. It turned out that his guess was right, Anna already knew about him.

"Oh yes sir, aunt also wants to go home.."

"But why bik..?"

"Bibik just want to take a break from work sir, because bibik is old.." bik Sri reasoned. If Rayyan knew if Bik Sri was sick of seeing her, because it had hurt her young miss and also made her master fall ill.

"If aunt goes, what about Anna bik...?" Rayyan still doesn't know if Anna's gone far. Rayyan thought that Anna might go to Icha's place like before.

"The aunt had told non-Anna before and non-Anna allowed it. Yes sir, if that's why go first. Afraid of missing the bus..."

"Wait bik's... " Rayyan then took out his wallet, and gave several pieces of money a hundred thousand to bik Sri. "This is for the cost and also the needs on the road. Salary and other bonuses later I transfer.." said Rayyan who does not have a lot of case money in his wallet.

"Thank you sir..."

"Take care, and be careful on the road..."

Bik Sri then left the apartment.

Rayyan grabbed her dead cell phone from last night because she ran out of batrai. Rayyan pressed the On button and contacted Anna.

The number you are calling cannot be contacted

Only that voice was heard when Rayyan contacted Anna.

Rayyan then contacted Ica, but Ica did not pick up the phone from him at all. Rayyan went straight to Ica's house. Arriving there, Ica immediately greeted him with an angry face. He did not even allow Rayyan to enter.

"Why did you come here..?" Ica asked while standing at the door.

"Anna's here, isn't she..?" rayyan's face looked hopeful.

Ica smiled cynically "What else are you looking for, after what did you do to her..?" Ica witnessed Rayyan herself at the party, and her heart ached as well. Ica has also learned of Anna's departure from Jerry. Ica was deeply saddened and devastated by the passing of her best friend. "Anna's not here.."

"Don't lie Ca. I know Anna's here.." Rayyan barged straight into Ica's house. "Anna's... Anna.." yelled Rayyan, but there was no way Anna could get out of there.

"I told you Anna wasn't here. Anna's gone.." Ica was no longer able to hold back her tears.

"Please tell me, where did Anna go..?" rayyan's voice shook.

"I don't know either..."

Rayyan then leaves Ica's house. He was sure Ica wasn't lying, and Anna wasn't there. Rayyan then plugged the gas at high speed. He's gonna find his wife.

"ARRRGGGHHH.." shouted Rayyan as she beat her car's driver.

Two days Rayyan had been looking for Anna, but it had not yielded any results. Rayyan has also deployed his men to find Anna to the corners of the village though but his efforts are only in vain.

Rayyan is still not sure if Anna is out of the country following her father, considering that all of Anna's documents are still in the apartment. Such as passports and other identification. Anna did not bring anything, because of her sudden departure. Rayyan had also contacted father Rama and aunt Yasmin, but no answer was received.

Because there was still no news, Rayyan finally left for Germany. Rayyan's been looking for the address of Aunt Yasmin before.

Arriving at the residence of his aunt Yasmin, Rayyan was not warmly welcomed by the family. There was only hatred he felt.

"Why did you come all the way here..?" ask cynical Yasmin.

"I want to meet Anna and papa tan." said Rayyan pleading.

"But you'll never see them again..."

"I beg you tan, let me meet them and explain everything..."

Aunt Yasmin snorted and threw away her face "It's too late Arrayan Alfahri..! Anna doesn't want to see you anymore. As for Rama, he died of a heart attack." aunty Yasmin's voice shook. "And that's because of you...!" point at.

"What...? papa died..?" as soon as Rayyan's body trembled violently, she could not believe what she heard.

"Why..? you surprised..? You know Rama has heart disease..? And his heart disease relapsed after finding out who you really were. His confidant, it turns out that killed him..."

"That's impossible, papa can't possibly die...?" said Rayyan who was sitting limp on the floor. Her tears were free-falling at the corner of her cheek. How not Rama is the most meritorious person in his life.

"You better get out of here...!" yasmin shouted.

Rayyan then rested at Yasmin's feet "Aunty, I beg you. Please meet Anna. I want to explain everything tan." Rayyan said in tears. He now looks so fragile and helpless.

"Ma'af Ray's... It won't happen again, Anna's erased everything about you.."

"But it can't be tan, even though Anna hates me, but I'm sure she still loves me. Just like I loved her so much. Anna will understand after I explain everything tan. Please don't separate us. I want to stay with my wife and my future son." he said.

Aunt Yasmin closed her eyes "Your son is not there. Anna had a miscarriage after arriving here.." this time Aunt Yasmin lied. Because Anna's content is fine. Indeed, it should be in early pregnancy is not allowed to travel far, considering the fetus in the womb is still weak. But Anna was able to get through it.

"Anna miscarried...?" Rayyan was shocked, her body felt weak and she sat on the floor with tears streaming down. Rayyan felt half her life had been lost.

"AAARRRRRRRHHHHHTTT." Rayyan's scream echoed in the room. A sense of regret filled his chest cavity.
