Picking Up the Past

Picking Up the Past
Brother or Husband



Mila walks from the bathroom to the dining room, sitting in the dining room for a glass of water. From her sitting position, Mila stared long at the door of Arya and Tomy's room, fear was still in her heart, her phone rang again, Mila immediately saw her phone, her phone was, there's Irman's name that reappears there which makes it seem hunted by worry.


‘what do you want bang Irman?, what can I do to save the company?, I do not understand business problems at all, his inner’ is confused, He then turns off the call and saves the phone again.


‘ya Lord, is it true that the company is not in good condition now?, is it true that only I can save the company now? do I have to go home and help bang Irman, what should I do now?, aunts and uncles will be disappointed if I come home so soon, but my family needs me now, do I just go to Jakarta, do I just go, it seems like my money is enough to just buy a plane ticket to Jakarta’ Inner Mila again.


‘Yes God, please take care of my family, please take care of my grandfather and mother, I don't want this problem to destroy my family, I don't want to lose everything, if I have to lose my house, I don't want to lose my family, grandpa would really be sad, and grandpa's health could decline again, Aryaa, why are you this long to me, do you want to avenge my actions first to youMila's inner’ put the anxiety.


“What are you doing Mil?, nyari Arya?” tomy asked who came from the front and was about to enter her room, she saw Mila who was sitting with a confused face at the dining table.


“Arya where is Tom?, why did you guys not look?” mila asked Tomy in her weak tone.


“Arya is working on the terrace, we went to the mosque with my father, and that, why do you look so tired?” tomy asked in surprise.


“Tom, do you still hate me?” asked Mila who still remembered Irman's remark that Aryan's friends hated him.


Tomy momentarily took a deep breath hearing Mila's words, “I've eliminated what my position before this” said Tomy casually.


“so you are being nice to me like this just because of Indra, is Arya also like that now?, is she just playing with her nice attitude to me?” said Mila with teary eyes, her feelings are still affected by the words of her own brother, the brother she trusts so much will protect her.


“emang Arya is talking to you? didn't he talk that he loved you?” tomy asked full of questions.


“dia says she loves me, she will hold my hand tightly, she will.” Mila's greeting then cut off by Tomy's greeting.


“and you don't believe his words” said Tomy casually.


Mila's heart was immediately jolted, she was again swayed by circumstances, between believing in her brother or her own husband. “I believe Arya Tom, but,,,” Mila's speech then stopped.


'i love you Arya, but why are there so many things about you that you still hide from me?, don't you believe me?, did you deliberately hide this from me to destroy my family like bang Irman said?, do you really want us to lose everything we have?’ mind Mila again.


“if you do not believe in Arya, you better retreat Mil, do not make Arya disappointed again, or we his friends will really hate you for the rest of our lives,” said Tomy in a flat tone.


“I love Arya Tom, don't ask me to do what I can't do” Mila said in a trembling tone and teary eyes.


“then trust him, the Adinata group problem is very heavy, if you like this continue, there you will only destroy Arya, not help her” said Tomy calmly.


“aku, I will always be by his side, no matter what happens, I will not go from him, even if he wants to throw me” Mila said confidently.


“Tom, do you know the problem of my family company and Arya company?” ask Mila to Tomy. Tomy took a deep breath instantly, ‘does Mila know that problem?, inner Tomy.


“Arya again works on the terrace of Mil, make him tea and talk to him, believe in what he said Mil, do not make the situation even more burdensome position, do not make the position, and don't think bad about what he did” said Tomy passed into his room.


Mila took a deep breath and immediately got up to the kitchen to obey Tomy's words. ‘Yes Lord why should I be in this position again, why am I now faced with a choice between my brother and my own husband.


Arya was busy sitting on the front porch, she focused on working in front of her laptop by enjoying the atmosphere in her village, he is designing a city park concept that has just been sent documents via email by Rita.


Mila took a deep breath looking at Arya's back there, she then approached and sat down on the chair next to Arya, “mau drinking” Mila said gently by putting her homemade tea next to Arya's laptop.


“you brought me tea, what wind is this?” arya said with her humming tone while looking at Mila. He then drank a little tea made by Mila.


“you even though here still busy working” said Mila slowly.


“the name is also the work of Mil, there will be no end, do you want us to take a walk?, if so, later in the afternoon maybe we can take the streets” bargain Arya on Mila.


“by, even I am happy even” said Mila in her flat tone.


“why are you talking like that?, is there a problem?” asked Arya who was confused by Mila's flat tone as she spoke.


“Arya, are you hiding something from me?” tanya Mila opened the purpose of her conversation.


“hide something?, what am I hiding from you?” arya asked in a confused tone.


“about why you lied to mom about your job, or about why Anjani met when there was a problem, or also about the doctor at the hospital, or also,,, or also,,” said Mila immediately stopped because Arya covered her mouth with her hands.


"just ask one by one, I will answer it for you”, said Arya, smiling at Mila and taking off her hand that covered Mila's mouth.


“Are you just using me for the benefit of your company?” mila said with great emphasis on Arya.


“why do you think like that?” arya asked in confusion.


“you did not answer my question Arya” said Mila in an upset tone.


“I do not use you for anything, I only use you as my wife and the future mother of my children later” Arya replied half-jokingly, she does not like the serious atmosphere that Mila brought to her, saying, because he sensed something strange from Mila's question, ‘what does Mila already know about the problem?’ his inner.


Suddenly Mila's phone rings again, Mila opens the phone and Irman's name is seen there. Arya catches a change in Mila's eyes when she sees her phone, her calm-looking eyes instantly changing implying fear over the call. Arya snatches Mila's phone and sees who called to pick her up.


“assalamualaikum bang, what is it?” arya said politely, Mila immediately wanted to snatch the phone from Arya, but Arya held her hand.


And the vile voice came out of the phone, blasphemy and dirty words alternated from there, Arya and Mila looked at each other with an indecipherable look. Arya immediately closed the phone, she immediately closed her laptop and cleaned up the documents, she gave the laptop and the document to Mila “hold this’, Arya said briefly and Mila shocked to receive it, Arya pulled the other Mila's hand to go with her into the car.


“Arya, where are we going?” asked Mila who was confused by Arya's attitude after receiving a phone call from her brother.


“look for a fresh breeze, so that your mind is clear of all your brother's words” said Arya casually.


“what my brother said is indeed true?. do you want to destroy my family company Arya?” ask Mila emotionally.


“this is a Mil business problem, it has nothing to do with us,” Arya replied quietly and then ran the car.


“so it's true?” asked Mila coldly.


“i love you Mil, whatever happens later you will not leave me right?” arya said by holding Mila's hand, but Mila immediately pulled Arya's hand which made Arya take a rough breath immediately because she was disappointed.


“why Arya?, what's wrong with my family?” said Mila with teary eyes.


Arya then raised her hand in front of Mila and opened her palm right in front of her, a gesture that made Mila look deeply into her husband's eyes.


“what now you want to take off this hand Mil, you have told me that you will not take off this hand even if all your family hates me” said Arya who did not care about Mila's question. Mila swallowed her saliva her feelings were stirred erratically.
