Chapter 66 - Grey Sunday Night

Bayu also stepped into the living room. He himself is worried. To be honest, he's not happy if he has to be honest with Bening. Worried about misunderstanding the allegations of Bening to Arjuna who is not yet clear with whom and where.

But even lying doesn't feel good. Because a relationship especially love must be based on honesty. Even if it hurts.

Bening also preceded Bayu to speak.

"Mas Bayu, anterin I'm with Ayu back to the hotel. Let's go straight to Papa's house. I'mtired. Just take a break at home. Maybe Mas Arjuna is still overtime so tonight is not home" said Bening to the point but sounded not excited.

"Are you sure, Ning? Won't Arjuna wait a minute?" tanya Bayu lirih's.

"Not Mas. It's not good to be here long. I also have to keep Papa's good name. We are both not officially husband and wife. It's late at night too" Bening pleaded.

"All right if that's your request. You try to wake Ayu up. I wait in the car," said Bayu as he stepped away to the yard of Arjuna's official house.

Bening tried to wake Ayu but failed. Ayu fell asleep quite fast. Finally Bening and Bayu say goodbye to Bik Siti and Yono on the terrace of the house. Bik Siti and Yono did not have the heart to see the face of Bening, their employer's future wife.

It has been waiting for hours, but it turns out the person who is waiting has not yet returned home.

"Yon, Den Arjuna where are you going? Tumben's not coming home tonight. Usually every day it must go home even late at night because of overtime many cases," said Bik Siti while looking at Bayu's car that had just come out of the fence of the Arjuna official house.

"Yes, Bik. So tumben. Poor thing I saw Non-Bening. Though it was a surprise birthday for Mas Arjuna but failed miserably. Then it's birthday cake, food, drinks the same snack as luck as how, Bik?" ask Yono seseku.

"Let's be like this. Let Den Arjuna see for himself the surprise of his future wife who had worked hard for him but failed because she did not go home. Surely Non Bening disappointed heavily. Even though Non Bening tried to smile in front of us, auntie knew she was sad."

"Hem. What is this Mas Arjuna. On the phone, the phone is also not active. Is Mas Arjuna not coming home tonight, Bik?" ask Yono back.

"No idea, Yon. Already, you lock all the doors and windows. I want to sleep" said Bik Siti, returning to her room.

Along the way there was silence between Bayu and Bening. Bayu drives his own black sedan. Sitting in the front passenger seat. While Ayu who is still in a sleeping condition is in the back seat.

Even at Arjuna's house, Ayu is hard to wake up. As a result Bayu carried Ayu into his car. And until now Ayu is still asleep.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Bening also tried to wake Ayu. And luckily Ayu seemed to start waking up from her sleep.

"Hoam..."

"Well, where are we? When is the candle blowing? Is it because I overslept?" ayu's great-grandson rubbed his eyes.

"Wake, Yu. We have arrived" said Bening lirih.

"Kue tartnya you have eaten until the end of the setokanya in dreamland. Tuh until the ileran," Bayu's great-grandson deliberately diluted the atmosphere.

"Ah. So can not join the event cut the cake. Huft!"

"Basic ngebo. Molor keep going!" ledek Bayu deliberately teases Ayu.

"Just son, you are kebo's father! I don't know!" ayu replied, while cleaning her lips just to check the truth.

"Haha.." Bayu laughs.

Bening also smiled faintly at the silliness between Ayu and Bayu.

Finally Bening and Ayu immediately went to their room to tidy up the items. Bayu waited in the car and still tried to contact Arjuna's phone. Still in an inactive state.

"Free phone is pinter, sophisticated and expensive with a logo of apples get bitten but who have stupid. Better my phone of a million people. Cell phones are the same people who use, pinternya number one has a tree. Yayanknya Ndoro Ayu that loh," praise Bayu on himself and also his cellphone.

Bayu finally delivered Bening and Ayu to the residence of Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi. Bik Ningsih who opened the door, was so surprised to see Bening coming.

Because he previously knew that Bening could not come before his father was appointed Wakapolri on Monday due to busy campus affairs. It turned out that the daughter of her employer wanted to surprise her Papa before being sworn in.

Bik Ningsih also welcomed the return of the Bening.

Bayu immediately say goodbye to Bening, Ayu and Bik Ningsih. Because Papa Bening is asleep. He did not want to disturb Papa Bening's rest.

After the departure of Bayu, now Ayu who slipped when entering the house Bening so luxurious. Even more luxurious than Bude Lina's house, Arjuna's mother in Yogyakarta.

Tonight Ayu sleeps in a room. Room that hasn't changed since it was abandoned by Bening a year ago.

There is a happy feeling he can return to a house full of memories and love. However, tonight there was a feeling of sadness in his heart when he heard Arjuna go with his girlfriend who he did not know his identity.

Jealous. That's for sure. She is in love with Arjuna Sabda Mahendra. Both are engaged and are seriously getting married soon. Opening new pages in their lives. For eternity.

Really a grey Sunday night for a Bening. Even tonight he plans not only to surprise Arjuna with his birthday, but to reveal something Arjuna has long anticipated of him.

But it seems like nature wills another. He needs to be more patient and try to be more mature in dealing with all the problems of life that occur in him.
