Picking Up the Past

Cousins

After taking Tomy to a contract and Abel to his house, Arya, Mila and Vanessa then immediately return to their home, Mila stared blankly at the street when she was sitting next to Arya who was driving a car, there was a sense left behind in Arya and Tomy's hometown, where she lived, a feeling that made his heart feel sad since leaving the house of his uncle and aunt.

Arya noticed her sad-looking eyes mixed with fatigue. “you think of Mil's house?, did grandfather say something about the company?” arya said in her soft tone.

Mila took a deep breath for a moment, He did not know the development of the problem at all, it hurt so much that he felt if he remembered the words of his brother. ‘how could Irman bang that loaf to me his inner’.

“do you not say grandfather has thought of a solution to this problem Arya” said Mila in a slow tone.

“that's just my guess Mil, if grandfather doesn't tell you anything, then everything is fine” Arya replied flatly.

“grandfather didn't tell me anything, it means everything is fine said Mila still in a slow tone.

“then why are you so moody since we left the house of uncle and aunt this morning, and on the beach earlier you are also not excited I see” said Arya with a worried tone.

“I only miss Arya's uncle and aunt, can't we just stay there?” said Mila with her tone still slow.

Vanessa took a rough breath at Mila's words, because she felt something similar, a feeling of sadness when she left their house for a week. It was like finding a new family, the attitude of uncle and aunt there seemed to make him find the warmth that had long been lost from his life.

“i is also the same Mil, but this is life, there are meetings and also there is separation, we should not overdo it when facing everything Mil,” Arya said calming his wife.

The car carried by Arya who had entered the yard of their house, the three people were astonished to see the fence of the house that was still open, even though the clock was almost midnight, plus there is already 1 other car besides Vanessa parked.

“Arya, are you sure our house is okay?” asked Vanessa who was confused to see the presence of the car, not to mention the atmosphere of the house lights that looked bright.

“i also do not know kak” Arya replied briefly.

When they get out of the car, they can see the side porch door curtain has not been closed, and the light of the dining room light is still brightly lit. “who is in Mil?” ask Vanessa who is confused.

Mila is silent, she steps quickly towards the side porch door of the house, while Arya rushes to get her suitcase and carrier out of the trunk assisted by Vanessa.

Mila stepped slowly up the porch of her house, Mila looked into the house from behind the glass door of the side porch, Mila's smile instantly floating on her lips, “bang Ardian” said Mila could not believe what she saw, Mila then immediately went inside, and Ardian smiled at her arrival.

“wah, my cousin has veiled now” said Ardian saw the arrival of Mila, he can recognize Mila from the height and sound that Mila issued.

“bang Ardi when is here?” asked Mila by looking at her cousin's face.

“new 2 days Mil, this is your brother you do not greet?” ardian said while looking at his wife who was sitting at one of the dining tables.

“sister Sarah came too yes, I miss once” said Mila approached Sarah, his wife Ardian. Mila then immediately hugged Sarah, “duuh, my sister, still spoiled kayak first” said Sarah welcomed Mila who came to hug her.

"Rian and Riska where are you?” asked Mila who asked the whereabouts of 2 children Ardian and Sarah. “they have slept in the room Mil,” replied Sarah gently rubbed Mila's shoulder.

Arya and Vanessa who had just arrived inside were confused to see the situation in the dining room, the faces of Ardian and Sarah they did not know before.

Arya then said her greetings and went inside by pulling Mila's suitcase and carrying her carrier. Ardi and Sarah then stared at Vanessa and Arya with a full view of the search.

“what is your husband Mil?” ardian asked after answering Aryan's greeting.

Ardian smiles at Arya “Ardian, my cousin Mila” knows Ardian to Arya while raising his hand to shake hands with Arya.

Arya quietly welcomed Ardian's hand while looking flat at Ardian.

“you're Arya right?, Arya ramadana from 3A Sahabat” asked Ardian to stare fixedly at Arya's face, while Arya and Mila looked in wonder at Ardian. 'he knows where my name is from' the inner Arya is almost the same as Mila.

“did you forget me?, 2 years ago you designed a project in Batam, it was my family's company project there, at that time I could only see you when I was on that project, because you refused to meet me and went straight back to Jakarta that day, I finally could only talk to your friend when it”, Ardian said with a familiar attitude to Arya.

“really?, I'm sorry for that” said Arya slowly, but she herself also does not remember the incident. 'why people can always remember me, and I can not remember them' arya is upset with herself.

“your design is really amazing, unfortunately your company is here, not in Malaysia, if in Malaysia, surely all my company projects will be given to you” Ardian praised Arya with his familiar attitude.

“thank you, but you don't praise me too much like this, I put the stuff in the room first ya briefly” Arya replied casually, he then stepped towards Mila's room ignoring Ardian and Sarah's presence there.

Mila immediately leaves sarah and follows Arya to open the door of her room. While Ardian was just casually facing Arya's attitude, 'it was fitting that he didn't want to meet me at that time, it seemed like he was an introvert, it turns out that introverts are quite talented in his inner art’

“Arya, why are you acting like that to bang Ardian?", Mila whispered angrily to Arya while unlocking her room.

“I do not know him, but his attitude is even more familiar with me, I do not like Mil, he seemed - as if I already know what I was like Arya answered briefly and also whispered,

“but at least you appreciate him dong, my cousin far away from Malaysia to come here” Mila said again with annoyance.

“iya, sorry Mil, later I change my attitude to him” Arya replied briefly.

The two of them then turned their bodies when they heard Ardian's voice again.

Vanessa was still standing petrified there as Arya walked towards the room, she swallowed her saliva when she saw Ardian staring intently at her.

“you are his wife Irman” said Ardian coldly.

“I,,iya” replied Vanessa slightly bent her body to salute by restraining her nervousness.

“do you have no shame to still be in this house?, do you not realize what you did first?” ardian said sharply which made Sarah, Arya and Mila directly staring at him.

“that,, that, that, I,” said Vanessa uncorruptedly, her heart seemed to be pierced by the sharpness of Ardian's sentence.

Arya immediately took off Mila's carrier and suitcase and put it on the floor he then pulled Ardian's hand and made Ardian immediately turn to him. “you this is nothing, what the fuck, do you have no manners to the people who live in this house” said Arya held back upset.

Ardian took Arya's hand off her hand, “sorry, I'm just like my grandfather, we hate people who don't obey grandfather”'s wishes Ardian replied casually.

“do not insult the people in this house, or I will not hesitate to make a fuss with you” said Arya full of emphasis.

He really could not bear to see Vanessa suffering all this time, he did not want to see the girl continue to be treated like that in front of him.
