Picking Up the Past

Maskers

Ari was sitting relaxed in a restaurant, he played his phone while watching the situation around, making sure there was nothing suspicious around him, he momentarily took a deep breath and let go.

A man who looked quite aged approached Ari, the old man then stood nearby and looked at him flatly.

"you Ari?” ask the man who saw the characteristics of Ari's clothes that he read from the message sent Ari.

Ari smiled thinly, “iya sir, sit” replied Ari who saw the characteristics of the old man similar to Mr. Abdul.

Mr. Abdul then sat in front of Ari, he looked at Ari's much younger face with his flat eyes.

”do you already know what this meeting means?” ask ari without saying stale.

“I like your way, we do not need to talk at length for this" replied Mr. Abdul who momentarily stopped, he took a deep breath and then continued “but I need to explain, you must not act outside our knowledge, because we understand what kind of enemy we face” said Mr. Abdul.

Ari took a rough breath, he realized he should not be selfish with his own way of playing, what else he was still blind with the enemy he faced.

“listen to me, Haris says you have people who work well, so I ask that you take care of the doctor who examined the sample, the test results must be registered first in order to be considered valid, not considered illegal tests, when the doctor registers and legalizes the test results at Adinata Hospital, the doctor will definitely be targeted by the enemy" obviously Mr. Abdul who stopped for a moment.

"at the same time as the results of the legalized test, I will process the transfer of all assets to Mr. Indra including shares with Mr. Gibran's lawyer, after the process is all completed, the situation will become more difficult, the company said, you will fight them openly, not hiding like now” Abdul continued.

“open?, we fight them open?” ari asked confusedly.

"yes, since you are his friend young master, then you are a great force in this fight"

Mr. Abdul then explained to Ari step by step the plan he had prepared to defeat Aliando and raise Arya to the CEO seat.

Ari smiles at all plans of Mr. Abdul, although he is quite reluctant to play the plans of others, but he must admit that the thought of Mr. Abdul is much smarter than him.

‘parents are indeed more experienced and insightful for problems like this’ Inner Ari.

After the return of Abel and Tomy after dinner, Arya for a moment unwinded by seeing the Jakarta sea, she spent time there until 9 pm, after being satisfied with the view, after being satisfied with it, he then went inside, in the living room he saw Vanessa watching tv alone.

“Where are you kak?” ask Arya who thinks Mila is with Vanessa.

“in the room times Arya, since Abel and Tomy came home, he has not come out at all”

Arya took a deep breath and immediately entered into her room, as she opened the door, she saw Mila was busy in front of the mirror.

"why again Mil?”

“I want mascerine, my skin has not been care” for a long time

“night-night gini?”

“iya, really, this is just for the face”, Mila said without seeing Arya, she was busy preparing masks from one of the leading cosmetic brands.

Arya then opened her briefcase, she took her savings book and gave it to Mila “you want to hold it?” asked Arya flatly.

Mila momentarily stopped her activities, “your savings?” and Arya answered him with a slow nod while ducking to equalize her height with the height of Mila who sat in front of the small decorative table mirror in their room.

“why me?, haven't you held it all this time?”

“during this Rita is holding it, not me” explained Arya.

“you really believe the same brother Rita yes, can I be jealous of him now?”

Arya took a rough breath hearing Mila's words, “I also believe in you, so I give this to you,” Arya said with a smile to reassure Mila.

“do you believe me Arya?”

“I trust more with you than Rita, it's just that for what happened, sometimes I feel anxious because I fear everything will happen again” replied Arya.

Mila then took a deep breath and then she smiled at Arya, She then gently touched Arya's cheek with her right hand, “I know it's hard for you to trust me Arya, I understand, after all, if I were in your position, maybe I wouldn't believe the same people who betrayed me, what else would you forgive like what you did for me, so you don't have to lie to me if you trust me more than Rita's sister, I will always wait for you until you really believe in me again” said Mila.

‘what's right I haven't believed in Mila, I did this all because I was afraid the – guy would do bad things to Mila, and influence Mila by persuading her seduction like old times’ Inner Arya judged her own heart.

“which is clear I will keep holding your hand until we go to Mil” heaven said Arya held tightly to Mila's hand that touched her cheek, she then kissed the hand.

“Arya, what do you think Anjani would do if she knew who you are?, would she come after you?” ask Mila who still remembers Anjani's sadness this morning.

“maybe he'll be mad like this morning, or maybe he won't forgive me, and also, why do you think Anjani is after me, am I that handsome to fight for women”

Mila smiled, she kissed Arya hand that grasped her hand, “you are even more worthy of being contested, all women must want a husband like you, what else you and Anjani are close friends first”

“really?, if I'm a contested woman, I shouldn't have married at the age of 28 like this,”

“you got married at the age of 28 because you met me your new soul mate at the age of this” said Mila by bringing her face closer to Arya's face, the roar of Arya's breath felt on her face.

“hmm, Arya, I have one request for you, and I want you to obey him tonight” Mila continued with hopeful eyes on Arya.

“what request?”

“say first that you will follow it”

“ha, that should be so, instead of me having to know first what your request is, if I can't accept it how?”

“ok, I will comply, what is your request?” said Arya nodded slowly, Mila smiled and kept Arya's savings book in the desk drawer. “you don't want to see the contents of my savings first?”

“I just hold it right, not see it or wear it,” Mila replied casually, “I have trouble managing my finances, so all this time Rita who stiffened, now you are tensed, so you have to manage it, you can also wear it if you need”

“why me?, the living you give just a lot of excess” Mila replied casually, she stared in the bead of Arya's eyes that were always soft in her eyes.

“ya already, do not think again, now what was your request earlier?” said Arya who did not want to argue the savings problem, he was curious about Mila's request to him.

Mila holds Arya's chin with her right hand, she then turns Arya's head towards the mirror, they then look at each other in the mirror reflection of your face looks dark Arya, Arya, surely because you are often hot - heat when climbing, what else before you also ride the motor every day”

“last?” ask Arya who does not understand the purpose of Mila's conversation.

Mila smiled, she took the mask that she had prepared last night, “my request, tonight you must be the masceran, we are both masceran tonight”

Arya swallowed her saliva, her face changed pias, “that's true aja Mil, for ages I never masceran” Arya refused to Mila.

“but earlier you promised to comply with my request” said Mila with a frown.

"yes but don't be the mascerine too Mil times,"

"you refuse my request yes" said Mila by singing her lips, her cheeks round with a frown,

Arya took a deep breath, she resigned herself, and then nodded slowly weakly keeping her promise to Mila.

Mila gave a faint laugh looking at Arya's nod in the mirror reflection.

"nahh, that dong," Mila then smilingly put a mask on Arya's face, she painstakingly smeared her husband's face with the mask she prepared.

Her face showed the sincere love and affection from her heart. ‘this is how I feel about Arya?, why am I so easily falling for her?, why was I so selfish with myself?, why was I so selfish with myself?, to reject her presence in my life, Arya, I really love you, do you not love me, why do you never say that you also love meMila's inner’ while still applying mascara to Arya's face.

“udah” said Mila after she finished her work. Arya then glanced at the glass, looking at her already whitened face due to the mascara that Mila had installed.

‘astaga, what dream did I have last night, why tonight I'm the mascar of Arya's inner gini’.

“now change, you who mengmasin I” said Mila saw Arya's face with a spoiled smile.

Arya put on a flat face looking at Mila which made Mila smile even more with a faint laugh looking at her husband. She then removed her hijab and Arya immediately put a mask on her face.

Slowly Arya smeared Mila's face, her eyes were really amazed by the beautiful face and the skin of his wife who was perfectly white, “you are already this white, still aja remain the mascer Mil, Mil,” said Arya trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.

“this care Arya, so that I remain beautiful for you, so that you do not glimps at the others”

“other glance how Mil?, when our relationship is on the brink of collapse I never think of another woman,”

“ time anyway?, I see your employees are quite a lot of interesting in the office, out there are also many beautiful and sexy women, their bodies are also beautiful and seductive, where maybe you don't think about other women when I'm like that to you” Mila said by enjoying every touch of Arya on her face.

“do you doubt me Mil?” arya asked flatly, Mila smiled thinly with her eyes closed, she enjoyed every soft touch of Aryan's hand on her face.

“I don't doubt you, I'm just kidding, I already know what my husband is like, sometimes I'm just too possessive" explained Mila.

Arya took a deep breath, “ at that time I did not think of another woman Mil, I just hoped that I would get my heavenly angel, whether it was you or not, I just hoped that I would get my heavenly nymph, I just want to have an old day like grandparents in Sulawesi”, Arya replied by still smearing Mila's face with his wife's eyes were still closed.

“udah?” asked Arya who felt that she had smeared Mila's face flat.

Mila then opened her eyes and looked at her face back in the mirror.

“hmmmm, already, very clever this husband entered me, can be flat like gini” said Mila who saw every corner of her face in the glass.

"yeah, I'm going to stick you with a heart, not a hand"

"hhhh, dreadlocks"

Arya smiled at Mila's words, "I can't be a Mil's bitch"

"yes, yes, I know that if you're honest, you enter me with your heart"

Mila's words made Arya smile, wanting to kiss her, but his wife's face was cut before than kissed.

“Mil, after this mascerine we worship yuk?” persuade Arya who immediately made Mila's face red behind her mask.

“astaga Arya, you asked her plain once” upset Mila.

“emang why?, is it just the two of us here”

Mila took a long breath, he still felt embarrassed if asked for it all, ‘Arya no friend - mesraanya, if you want, ask him to the point aja gini, woo first cake, if you want, ask him to the point, romantic - romantic pastry cake, just asked, if plain gini I'm nervous'

“you haven't paid Mil?” asked Arya who saw the look on Mila's face a little different.

Mila for a moment thought, some time ago she asked Arya to buy her goods for her menstrual preparations, but until that day, her monthly guests still did not come. ‘what am I pregnant?, yes, but until that day, her monthly guests still did not come?, or am I the one who miscalculated the date?, where might I miscalculate his inner self while rubbing his stomach.

“if you don't want, it's okay Mil, I don't make kok” replied Arya while standing up to move to bed.

“not that Arya, I,,,,” Mila's speech then stopped.

‘ya Lord, when I said that I wanted it to him, it's a shame once’
