Picking Up the Past

Picking Up the Past
When the Heart Can't Love



Doctor Karina stared at the nanar of a photo on her phone screen, a photo featuring a male figure that had long been hidden in her heart, she was so perfectly hidden that feeling that no one knew about it, except the person in the photo, that it was still doubted by Karina's own doctor.


The photo shows Arya standing staring at something, the man wearing a blue suit with a white shirt and a red Marun tie, a photo he took secretly when company 3A Friend celebrated a big project 3 years ago.


‘I have kept the sanctity of this love, but why is the reply I received so painful’ inner doctor Karina who held tightness in her chest.


Long enough, Karina's doctor stared at the photo, until finally the activity stopped after the door of the room was knocked and a man entered after he paused.


“Hai, Karina” greeted the man smiling at doctor Karina, Realizing who came, doctor Karina tidied up her shirt and rubbed her eyes, she did not want to look sad in front of the man.


“Ari, what are you doing coming at this hour?, usually right afternoon doctor Karina spoke in a friendly tone to Ari.


“again kangen nih” goda Ari on doctor Karina, a,


“what the hell are you, a mulu gombal, I'm busy here, I'm going to check out some more patients'” doctor Karina then tidy up the things on her desk to then prepare to leave to continue her pending work earlier. He was afraid that his uncertain emotional condition at that time would make Ari uncomfortable with him.


“I want to see Tomy, all say kamu” tease Ari again that makes doctor Karina look at him with an annoyed look, he really does not like if Ari teases her like that.


“alah ya gombalnya,” said doctor Karina seriously to Ari.


“Karina, do you think I should take this Tomy matter to the legal track again?” ask Ari who is getting serious with her sentence.


Doctor Karina then looked at Ari with a gaze that no one could interpret.


“doesn't Abel have brought this case to the police, but it's not in the process at all, why now you want to try it again?”


Ari takes a rough breath hearing the words of doctor Karina. “The Adinata group is really in power, where maybe Abel's report will be in the same process of police, they will definitely work first so that the heiress of Adinata is safe from lawsuits,, but I want to try it again, maybe with a little money, the police want to process it,” Ari tries to explain what he has planned.


“I don't like that Ri” replied Dr Karina,


“if not like that, Tomy's problem will disappear just like that, I'm not sincerely my best friend stabbed with a knife and the culprit is not processed at all” continued Ari expressed his heart to the doctor karina,


“but I don't like bribes like gitu”


“you are very similar to Arya, he wants a straight path, whereas for our kayak business people, the straight path is the same as destroying his own business” said Ari took a long breath.


Doctor Karina's heart was jolted with Ari's words, her heart was again bitter when she had to remember that Arya had married someone else.


“you want to see Tomy right, I want to check a few more patients,” said doctor Karina who wants to end their meeting, ‘why I am like this, I expect people who never expect me, why, whereas there is Ari who sincerely loves me’ inner doctor Karina, he is so very sorry for himself, he still can not love Ari who so much love him.


“after this I have to go out of town, there are some jobs that I have to finish immediately, so later in the afternoon you change it with Abel for Tomy, nemenin, so Abel can go home for a while later” said Ari, he was also ready to get out of the doctor Karina, as well as the doctor Karina who was preparing to return to work.


“outside the city?, how sudden?, usually you tell me a few days before you go” asked doctor Karina with a full search while staring long at Ari,


“the name is also work, sometimes also suddenly like this right? what's more after Arya disappeared, a lot of work that became a” explained Ari casually,


“you will go to which area?”


“Sulawesi, I also don't know the exact place, everything has been taken care of by my assistant, and I just need to get ready for the airport now, but I want to visit Tomy first” Ari has started to step towards the outside of the room doctor Karina followed by doctor Karina behind her,


“you don't need to ask me to take care of Tomy, I will definitely do it, he's my best friend also” said doctor Karina, and they both then came out of the room.


“I know, I just want to make sure you will take care of it, don't be naughty as long as I go yes, take care of your heart for me” said Ari while smiling flirtatiously at doctor Karina, he then stepped towards Tomy's room. Doctor Karina looked at Ari's back with guilt, ‘I can't even give my heart to you’


Ari walked casually towards Tomy's room, when he was near Tomy's room, he saw a veiled woman just coming out of the room, Ari immediately accelerated his pace and when Mila was about to walk, Ari had already stood up to stop the moveMial which made Mila shocked by Ari's arrival.


‘astaga, why should I meet him here?’ the shocked mind of Mila saw Ari, her heart was beating fast, he still remembers what his debate with the man in front of him was when he was in Aryan's work room and also he still remembers when Ari threw him out in front of Rita and Anjani.


“why are you here?” ari asked sinisterly to Mila, Ari looked at Mila with a murderous look. Mila's body felt trembling hearing Ari's voice, what else when she saw Ari's face, Ari's gaze as if it was ready to pounce on her.


“a, I visited Tomy” said Mila a little nervous, she then took a deep breath to strengthen herself.


“what are you visiting Tomy for?, do you want to make sure Tomy is dead?” asked Ari who made Mila surprised to hear it,


“what are you saying?, I can't possibly want the death of my own sister-in-law” replied Mila who was starting to be unhappy with Ari's words, she seemed to be unexpected, how could the person in front of him think that badly of him.


“do you not know or pretend not to know that your girlfriend's hired person stabbed Tomy”'s back said Ari with a cold tone full of emphasis, he said, her eyes were still staring at Mila with a murderous gaze filled with anger.


Mila's breath felt choked in his throat, until even then he could not believe that Arnes would be like that, he could not believe at all with all the accusations of people to Arnes.


“me,,, I never wanted anything like that, nor did I know what kind of trouble there was between Abel, Tomy and bang Arnes, either, I don't know at all” replied Mila who defended herself from Ari's accusations.


“don't ever come here again” said Ari briefly sharply to Mila, he then pulled the doorknob to immediately enter into the nursery room Tomy. Ari's words were like piercing Mila's heart deeply.


“Where is Arya?” mila said before Ari opened the door to Tomy's room,
