3 Days later...
"Mas, I want to meet Anita to meet Affandi. We're not a school, so all reunion, can we, mas?" I said as Andra was leaving for the office. Today I was deliberately at home to accompany Anita to meet with Affandi. In accordance with my promise at that time.
"Can, baby. But remember yes, there must be a Bodyguard that nemenin you. I can't let you go alone or alone with Anita. Let me drive myself. You are among the same Mr. Budi ya." chanted Andra who seemed very worried about me. Since Cathrine's presence, our lives have been a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, mas. But they have to be in separate cars yes, I don't want one car with them, mas" My protest. I feel uncomfortable being protected so tightly. Especially if you have a car with them.
"Of course baby. You can arrange them as you please, the important thing is, do not go alone. I won't let you" he said, wearing shoes. I responded with a sweet smile. He was always afraid now, if I went alone.
"Thank you, sir," I ran into her arms. I am so grateful to have found him as my husband.
"Yes, honey. Go first, don't forget to be careful. Especially to people you don't know" the message. I nodded immediately and kissed her hand.
"Ready mas.you are also careful yes," Andra is actually too busy, so forget to think about his own safety.
After my husband died, I immediately tidied up my look. We made an appointment at a lakeside restaurant, where I met Vallen and Andre at the time. I like the place to eat in the open, making the appetite to rise.
"Tok.butt.." That knock on the door must be Anita. I opened the door immediately, it was true. My sister-in-law is out there.
"Sister, how do I look? It's not perfect yet. I'd like to meet Affandi, '" his complaint made me feel a sense of constriction
"Lebay, Affandi won't be that detailed. He's about looks doesn't have to be this ono. The important thing is that his heart is good" I tried to divulge Affandi's secret.
"Waw, really, brother? yass! I'm so happy.how? is Gini beautiful, brother?" Anita swirled around like a catwalk model.I just smiled looking at her slightly silly behavior. When we went to school, Anita had a crush on Affandi, only the Fandinya was indifferent and eventually they just became friends until graduation.
"You're beautiful, Nit. I'm sure he'll be fascinated by your appearance later, "I gave him a little hope, that he might be happy. Hopefully this time Affandi can open his heart to Anita.
"Don't you agree we're leaving?" Anita looked at me expectantly. Of course he allowed it, on condition of bringing in some bouncers to take care of me.
"of course. I've given him a deadly seduction that can't be resisted" I joke. Making a smile on Anita's lips.
"Then, what are you waiting for, let's go," Anita was so excited.
According to Andra's instructions, Anita and I boarded a car that was sopiri by Mr. Budi and beside him was included a bodyguard. Then in the back, we're at the beginning of a squad of bodyguards in a jeep. I feel right now my life is like in an Action Threat movie.
I didn't expect either. Grandpa still wants Andra to be his gold mine. By using my husband's good looks to benefit from the daughters of the American conglomerate. I felt that the brain of the old man was just money and money. No matter the happiness of his own grandson. Even he did not feel guilty at all, when my first child and Andra had to die because of his ridiculous actions. I hate grandpa.
"Madam, one of the investigators found someone suspected of stalking the mistress. He disguised himself as a commoner and hid the firearms in his shirt." Report the bodyguard who is currently in our car. My life is really threatened right now.
"Sir, can we go to the police now?" I'm anxious. My heart is beating so fast now. I still want to live longer and keep Andra company until we age together.
"We haven't had enough evidence, ma'am. Let our team investigate first. All situations will return to normal once we can catch the mastermind of the matter" said the bodyguard. I want to get this thing over with. I don't want to be in this gripping situation for too long.
"Mrs, we've arrived. Please come down and let me escort Madam, this is a direct order from Mr. Andra," I just nodded. In this kind of situation, there was no choice to look for safety. I just have to keep up with what Andra has set. He must have known what was best for me. He certainly knows a little, how the grandfather tricks in doing crime.
Anita and I went down. The girl looked so frightened that she dared not speak anything. Her cheerful face now looked a little pale. Maybe he feels threatened just like me.
"Why didn't you tell me that Andra's brother and sister were being terrorized by bad guys?" Whisper Anita, she clasped my hand tightly. I felt his hands tremble with fear.
"The bad guy is your own grandfather. All he's after is me, not Andra. Grandpa doesn't like me, which is a barrier to controlling your brother with his authoritarian actions. Please, don't tell anyone about this. Including mom and dad." I said half a whisper to Anita. He understood and nodded.
We continued walking into the resto and approached Affandi who had been waiting for us, still in his doctor uniform. Anita and I met him immediately. While the bodyguards were sitting not far from where we met.
"Hallo, Fan," Sapaku. The young doctor greeted us kindly.
"Hallo, Please, Anita, sit down..." Affandi's orders, let us sit where we have been provided.
"Fan, how are you? No wonder yes, we can meet again after a long time," Anita chattered cheerfully. It is so nice to meet her mass love.
"Good, Nit. You alone?" Affandi is still as usual, a little jutek.
"Well, too, Fan. Surprised, I was told the same sister Sila, if you are already a doctor," Anita displayed a very sweet smile.
"Surprise, huh? Suddenly an Affandi becomes a doctor?" Affandi chuckles.not to mention Anita, I was also shocked when I found out Affandi was a doctor for the first time.
"Finally, considering the High School period, you are not suitable to be a doctor, "I mocked Affandi. At school, he didn't like anything to do with biology. To the extent that others are scrambling to enter IPA class, he who is chosen even prefers IPS. When he met, he became a doctor.
"I didn't like going to medical school at first. Uh, when I got my medical crash scholarship, I graduated with the highest grade. Be my doctor now," Affandi told, we both just smiled proudly. He's talented, just won't admit it.
"Have you? Sure oes. At school, I decided not to know the students. I don't want to play love before success" Kilah Affandi. Trying to hide his true feelings.
"I thought you had a boyfriend. That's why you always avoid when I take you to school events together.
"Where was it, until I graduated, did anyone know who my boyfriend was?" Affandi looked at us both. I just shrugged and drank the drink I ordered.
"Now you've been, you've met, haven't you?" I cut them both. Both just blushed.
"What is this sister, it takes process first," Anita lowered her head, hiding her flushed cheeks.
"Wait, why is Anita calling you sister now?" Affandi just realized that Anita changed her calling language to me.
"Fan, please come here my brother. Clearly I call her big sister now," Anita said with emphasis.
"So Andra's your sister?" Affandi corrected the information he had just obtained.
"Hu 'um... So you've met him?" Anita looked excited. He did not know that the meeting of Affandi and Andra also began with an unpleasant incident.
"O-oh, i-iya, sure. I've met him several times, "Affandi is a little nervous. He could not have told Anita that he had hit Andra several times.
"Oh yeah? Where is it, Fan?" Anita looked curious. While Affandi seems to be regretting the wrong answer.
"I'll check the contents there a few times, of course I'm with your brother, right?" I'm trying to mediate. I hope Anita doesn't realize our charade.
"Well, that's the story. That's why I've seen your brother's face a few times" Affandi added. It seemed like she didn't want Anita to know the truth at all.
"Oh, so that's the story until you see him a few times?" Thankfully, Anita seemed to believe our writing.
We continued to talk about a lot of three things. Back when we were in school, we weren't this familiar. I only remember, a few times I caught Affandi staring at me. I wanted to ask him but not to the heart.
I saw another corner by accident. I saw Vallen there. Maybe this is an opportunity God gave me so I can apologize to him. Indirectly, I've already caused Vallen into a deep abyss of heartache.
"There's Vallen there, let me go, yes, you're here" I told them.
"Vallen's our schoolmate too?" Affandi looks horrendous. Vallen used to be his nemesis.
"Yes, that arch-enemy of yours will now also be my sister-in-law, the twin of Sila's husband, her name is Andre," Anita explained very clearly.
"Title, a school reunion in the family? Dizziness suddenly me!" Affandi scrunched his own head. Everything is connected to the Wijaya family. What happens if she agrees to be Anita's boyfriend?
I don't care about them. This is a moment I should use to speak heart to heart to Vallen. I know, right now he also needs the support of someone who understands the problem he is going through right now.
"Vall, can I join you?" I asked softly, afraid to surprise him. He who had been pensive, looked at me with a bit of surprise. Then smile.
"Please... Are you here too? Please sit..." He said he gave me space. Supposedly, if this were to happen to another woman, Vallen would be mad at me. But he was different, so mature, so perfect to cover the wounds he now felt.
"Vall... I'm sorry. Yesterday's incident was not done intentionally, I just wanted to investigate the real thing about the truth of Brother's feelings for you. You don't have to cover everything from me. I know, I'm still the cause of Andre's brother being like this. If time can be turned around, I won't let it all happen. Everything is over and I'm happy with the family I have now. It's not too late for you to cancel the wedding with Brother. You still have a chance to vote, Vall..." My advice. Vallen looked troubled. It seems confusing to make a choice.
"I'm not going to back down again, Sil. I'll fight for Andra. I have fallen in love with her, not since when. I understand that his feelings are not there for me. In his heart there is only you. In his mind, in his life only you are always there. Maybe one day there will be a miracle. My feelings will be reciprocated by it. If not, of course I will easily get out of his life. We even agreed not to sleep in one room despite being married. Everything is just like a mutually beneficial relationship."
It turned out that was their plan. Secretly they will only build a pseudo-marriage that successfully fools all family members.
"Don't you want to think about it again, Vall? Getting married without being loved is not easy. I'm afraid you're unhappy," I advised her not to rush into a decision.
"Rather than that, I'm more afraid Andre will go crazy alone thinking about people's wives. I am not afraid of suffering. Not even Andre is afraid to suffer by continuing to love you. I love him sincerely. I accept all the advantages and disadvantages. Even though he doesn't love me, at least he treats me well. Don't feel guilty. It's my own choice, Sil." Vallen. I saw no tears. He's so strong and tough. Hopefully Andre can accept it sincerely one day.
"alright. I appreciate your decision. I'm so grateful you can take it so well. You can love her sincerely and accept her for who she is,"
"I hope, in addition to family matters, you don't see Andre again. Let him live quietly without your shadow. I didn't mean anything, just my advice." Vallen said very carefully. But I understand what that means. My existence near Andre will only make things worse. I even found out yesterday about his severe depression.
"Yes, of course. I will no longer interfere in your affairs. I don't want to be a bully either, basically my job is just to match you two." I said slowly. I still feel guilty about what happened yesterday. I also need to know more now that what happened between me and Andre was a matter of course. Everything is different now and will never be the same again.
"Thank you, Sil. I owe you a lot. I'm getting married soon to Andre, all because of you. Pray for the best for both of us" Vallen held both of my palms. He should have been angry, but again he showed that he was doing well.
I hugged my best friend tightly. If I was in his position maybe I wouldn't be as strong as him. I am relieved to have found the right figure for Andre and I hope that his petrified heart melts away soon.
