Chapter 70 - Della's Cunning Plan

Elsewhere, Arjuna has now left the hospital and is heading to a mobile phone service store.

After he woke up, and found out that Della, Stella's younger sister, had arrived at the hospital, he said goodbye after explaining the chronology of Stella in the hospital.

Della also knows lately the household with Dave seems to be in trouble. But what is the problem, he does not know for sure. Because Stella is quite secretive about her personal affairs.

Before Arjuna left the hospital, Della borrowed her phone. Della reasoned that her phone dropped and had to immediately contact Papa and Mama who were out of town. His parents did not know his brother was in the hospital.

Arjuna also lent his phone with empathy again because Della was a little urgent by putting on an anxious face. Both were in a cafe in the hospital area.

Della pretends to stand away from Arjuna to call, suddenly Arjuna's phone fell and entered a fish pond in the cafe area.

Plung...

Della pretended to be surprised to accidentally make Arjuna's expensive phone with the logo of an apple bite it fell and got wet in the fish pond.

"Sorry Brother Juna, I did not intentionally. My leg tripped over a rock so my sister's phone fell into the water. How's this?" great-grandson Della reasoned by putting up a nose of her sad face that was so devious.

Arjuna swiftly took his wet cell phone and brought it to the table where he sat to be cleaned with a dry tissue. Reacted because of the incident, Arjuna's phone died instantly and inevitably had to be repaired first in the mobile phone service store.

"Yes it's okay. Yes, I've decided to go home first all my cell phones," Arjuna said goodbye to Della.

"There are still many Sis Juna who have helped Brother Ste. Sorry again for the phone. It'll cost Della to change," Della's great-grandson pretended.

"No need. I say hello to Del," replied Arjuna as he walked away.

"Yes, Brother."

Della sees Arjuna leaving with a sly smile. Because the plan worked. Bening will be angry to see Arjuna with his sister, Stella. And their communication gets worse because Arjuna's phone is dead.

"Haha. enjoy my game, my dear Bening."

☘️☘️

In the car, Arjuna breathed a heavy sigh as his phone died. He just remembered last night hasn't called Bening. He had promised his future wife.

"God, why did I forget. Definitely Bening cram. I'm sorry, honey."

Arjuna monologues himself while driving his car splitting Jakarta congestion on holidays like this. He immediately slid into a mobile phone service store.

His phone had to stay a day to be repaired. He also bought a new phone with a similar brand.

The card has no damage. So when moving his old card to a new phone, he immediately dialed the number Bening. Only the sound of the answering machine was heard.

"Sorry, the number you are going to is off or out of reach. Please call for a moment or leave a message after the following tone is heard."

Beeping...

His sling bag containing a cell phone and wallet as well as a small bag belonging to Ayu are in the locker. Both owners are busy playing in a vehicle that is inside a famous shopping center in Jakarta. Where when playing is prohibited carry a bag.

As a result, both bags and wallets and cell phones, they put in the same locker. Both of them are currently playing cold slides and rides to bathe ball and flying fox inside the Mall.

"I'm afraid," Ayu's great-grandson when going to plunge in the arena of flying fox.

"Just calm. Underneath me take care. Also below is a lot of foam. So safe. Come on," cried Bayu while calming Ayu.

"Aaa.." yelled Ayu when he plunged too.

When it came down, Ayu immediately hugged Bayu unconsciously. Of course the one being hugged instantly developed his smile.

"Great son of sholeh," the happy inner Bayu embraced the adoration of his heart.

Ayu and Bayu are having fun in the playground, in contrast to Arjuna who is half-dead because his best friend's phone is difficult to contact.

"Basic bujang weathered! Where is this Sunday? Tumben didn't pick up my phone. You want to die!" grunts Arjuna.

"It must be still a blow. I'm just samperin to his contract. Be careful that he doesn't have a clear reason!"

Arjuna also glided to Bayu's contract. It didn't take long, he arrived. He knocked on the door of Bayu's house but there was no word. In that house, Bayu was living alone.

"Kok seems lonely. Where'd the weathered bujang go? There's no way she's going out on a weekend date like this" Arjuna's great-granddaughter monologues herself.

Finally there is a neighbor Bayu who greeted Arjuna. The neighbor often saw Arjuna play to Bayu's rented house.

The neighbor immediately said that Bayu left since this morning wearing casual clothes. Don't know where to go. Her legs are alone too.

Arjuna clucked bitterly because his best friend had suddenly left when he needed his help. Finally Arjuna decided to go home because he was tired and wanted to rest.

In the afternoon, Arjuna arrived at his official house. Bik Siti was taking a nap and Yono was playing futsal with other members in the field not far from Arjuna official house.

Arjuna's black sedan car was parked neatly in the courtyard of his office house. The man who had a thirty-one year anniversary today was bowed lethargic because he had not been able to contact Bening.

Repeatedly he tried to re-contact Bening all the way from Bayu's house to his residence, still Bening's cell phone was not active.

Arjuna stepped towards the main door of his house and he reached into his pocket and took the key and opened it.

Chequek...

The creaking of the door opened and Arjuna was instantly stunned at the sight in his living room.

Degs...
