Picking Up the Past

Being Yourself

Abel took out all the contents of his suitcase and put it on his neat bed. Mila and Vanessa can only be made to gawk while swallowing saliva they see the things Abel took out of his suitcase. Mila then approached and sat down on the side of Abel's bed, “you brought this much stuff Bel?, what do you do?” ask her in wonder.

“make my needs Mil, what else to do?” abel said without a second thought, he then began to sort out the things he would carry.

“I have not forgiven you Mil, although Tomy and Arya have already apologized, but I have not at all” said Abel who noticed Mila helped him, as well, while Vanessa sat on the Abel decorative table chair while paying attention to the activities of the 2 girls.

“iya, I understand, you have had many experiences betrayed like what I did to Arya, so I know how angry you are with me, but you don't talk about this anymore in front of Arya Bel, please, arya and I have opened a new page in our household” Mila replied as she separated some items that she felt could still be purchased in Arya village.

"if you knew it hurt, why did you do it to Arya?" asked Abel innocently.

"already Bel, don't discuss it anymore" Mila replied in annoyance.

“what's the difference between Arya and your boyfriend, why are you choosing Arya now?” asked Abel innocently, while Mila could only swallow her saliva hearing it all, she momentarily took a deep breath before answering Abel's question.

“he's sincere Bel, well, and to me he's perfect, I feel like the real me in front of Arya, I feel, while in front of the Arnes bang I felt forced to become an adult because of his attitude that often expressed sweet words to me, forcing me to say sweet words also for him, he said, she doesn't like my innocent attitude at all the same as your innocent Bel. But with Arya, I feel like I'm myself now, like you knew me then, that's how I am now, I feel free from a Bel prison, you know, Arya does not demand anything from me” replied Mila with a little sigh of relief telling it all.

“Arya is really similar to Tomy, Tomy does not mind all my stupid attitude” said Abel casually.

“we are lucky Bel get men like them” said Mila who makes Vanessa's heart feel pierced considering the life she went through, he momentarily tried to take a deep breath to calm his feelings.

“I know Mil, I will never waste Tomy in my life, now you can tell me what your hijab and veil story is like” Abel told Mila.

Mila immediately swallowed her saliva to hear Abel's question, she momentarily bowed and then took off a rough breath. “then when I was in college I had a friend who came from the Bel boarding school, just like we used to be, I got bored at home and I ended up doing whatever it was, out of all my college friends he was the same as you, wanting to hear all my stories without complaining or getting upset, I ended up wearing this hijab like her, because tired of being advised to continue with her, but after that I felt comfortable with all of this, the same as this veil, she said, now I feel embarrassed if I have to open my aura again,” explained Mila to Abel.

Abel and Vanessa simultaneously took a deep breath hearing Mila's explanation, “just so you are the same perverted man who became your boyfriend, you know, you do not realize yes with the value of your hijab it” said Abel casually he then pulled his suitcase that had been filled with goods.

“I used to be too late with my friend's story Bel, he wanted a perfect husband, could be his priest during night prayers, can be romantic with him, hear all his complaints, good at teaching, can be, handsome, handsome, and yes, the dream husband of ukhti-ukhti like him, finally I am also like he wanted a husband like that, and when I got to know bang Arnes, I got to know him, he comes like a dream husband Bel” said Mila by looking at Abel's face.

Abel momentarily took a deep breath to hear the description of Mila he then looked at his friend's heart, “seems like we are the same Mil, although we are different paths after finishing High School, but our love story seems the same, but our love story seems the same, I was just played by the men, fortunately I was still sane not want to give myself to them at that time” said Abel who is now sitting next to Mila, he then hugged his best friend who began to get carried away.

“love is indeed blind Bel, I always think well of him, even though the closest people to me say he is a bad person, even though he once asked me for the bad thing, even if he ever asked me for it, I still believe as the husband of my dreams, I was too comfortable at that time Bel, so Arya's presence was just like a real thing in my relationship and he, fortunately Tomy woke me up at that time, and I finally realized, I knew, that Arya is much better than she” replied Mila who permeated Abel's hugging on her body.

That's how they spent time together during their school days, Abel was always able to understand Mila who lived in a family that fractured her foundation. But sometimes his innocent attitude makes him often mistaken for his best friend.

“I don't know my fault where Bel is, I learn from my friend, I pray like she prays Bel, I go with her to and fro hearing lectures during my lectures, I pray like her, but she can keep herself married, whereas I'm stuck with my own feelings for that man, I feel hypocritical about my dress Bel, she said, but I was too embarrassed to open my aura like it used to” said Mila who now began to feel tight in her chest.

“udah Mil, do not be sad again, let's help me again” said Abel by pulling one more suitcase to fill it, Mila immediately swallowed his saliva. “Bel, not one suitcase just you bring, the goods that were enough for you to bring” said Mila holding Abel's hand who was putting the goods again in the suitcase. “time anyway?” abel said in doubt with Mila's words.

Vanessa then stood up and drew closer to Abel and Mila, her decision not to take part in the 2 girls talk was the right one, because he can assess the relationship of 2 girls has begun to improve again because of the short talk. “iya Bel, already, let's finish this stuff back in your closet, so that we can leave” immediately said Vanessa.

Buggghhhhhh,

A blow landed on the stomach of Haris' man when he reported his work to Adinata's bodyguard.

“can-can you tell others about our destination” said the man wearing the Adinata group's guard pin

“sorry boss, they escort our target wife, they seem like trained people, I am completely unaware of their existence” said the man who took the blood sample Arya.

“who are they?"

“they are from the company where our target works bos” said the man who then stood firmly on the side of the bodyguard.

The bodyguard momentarily closed his eyes, he momentarily thought about what he would do, “if this is leaked to others, our target it could be in danger, he said, mr. Haris just doesn't know who's after the young master right now, maybe you better keep an eye on our target until the DNA test results come out, make sure no one touches it” said the bodyguard walked away from the man.

‘ahhh shit, because of the 2 people, even I got hit now’ grumbled the man saw the bodyguard who became his boss left him.

While the bodyguard walked firmly carrying the feeling of his balance, “certainly Mr. Haris will be angry with the results of work like this” murmured with ruffled.
