Picking Up the Past

Fear In The Past

Arya had just cleaned up all her stuff in Mila's room, she was now leaning in front of Mila's closet to let go of her fatigue for a moment.

Mila who had removed her veil smiled at Arya, she then opened her closet door and took the suit she had bought along with her wedding dress. Arya noticed what Mila was doing with her curiosity.

Mila then gives the suit to Arya.

“this wedding gift from me to you” said Mila, she unraveled her sweet smile on Arya.

“this suit?, whose coat is this?” arya asked confusedly,

“this I bought together with my wedding dress, my dress and this suit couple lan, so at that time I had to buy this suit to buy that dress” explained Mila to Arya, Arya took a deep breath hearing all of that.

“astaga Mil, the suit has made me misunderstand you” said Arya who made Mila close her eyes.The assumption turned out to be true, Arya had misunderstood because the suit was in her closet.

“ini is very similar to mine” replied Arya while taking Mila's handing suit,

“iya is similar, really similar, I even wonder why you can wear a suit that is very similar to this suit on our wedding day, I even thought that you stole it in my closet” Mila replied who was now sitting next to Arya, Arya smiling at Mila's words.

“tomorrow you wear yes, to the office”

“well, I will wear it, for you” Arya replied briefly, they both then looked at each other and smiled at each other, until Arya's phone rang which made Mila grunt because the moment was interrupted.

“assalamualaikum Rita” replied Arya who made Mila grimace to hear the name.

“Didn't your wife tell you that I called you earlier?” asked Rita in an upset tone.

“She told me, but I'm too busy, sorry, I haven't had time to call you, this is all I just finished cleaning up, Arya replied casually while sitting on Mila's dresser chair, while Mila has moved to her bed and notices Arya who is on the phone.

“means it's your fault right?, I've arranged your meeting with the Hardi corp at lunchtime tomorrow, we'll have lunch outside” Rita said directly at the core of the conversation.

Arya's eyes widened in shock at hearing it all, ‘Hardi group?, om Hardi?, what is this? do they know about me?’ Why should I meet you?’ inward Arya who began to feel afraid, he knew that Hardi was the second largest shareholder after his father in the Adinata group, even though he knew Hardi and his father were close friends, his mother and Hardi's wife were also longtime friends, but all of those relationships ended 22 years ago, and it could be that Hardi is the one who is the enemy at the moment and is also targeting his life.

Arya does not even know who the opponent and who the enemy in the Adinata group, even she does not know if there are still people who are still loyal to her father after 22 years have passed. What Arya knows is, she must avoid all things related to the Adinata group, because it could be that everyone in the company is after her, he said, for that he chose to be an architecture and was behind his chair without having to go to and fro to meet many people. The less he interacts with business people, it will be much better for him to hide himself, because he understands very well how much the influence of the Adinata group in this country.

Arya then looked towards Mila, and their gaze met that made Mila was intrigued because Arya looked at her with a frightened look, ‘Arya why?, why does she seem so scared?’ inner Mila.

“what time did they meet me Ta?” arya asked in her calm tone, She must not sound afraid of Rita, because indeed, like whatever threats she must face, she must always seem strong so that the enemy does not underestimate her.

“It's been 3 weeks Arya, they've been 3 weeks urging me to meet you, they want to discuss the design issue you made”

“discussion?, isn't that Ari and Arbi's part, why should I?”

“because they want to meet with the Architecture directly, do not complicate it anymore Arya, the company is really messed up because you left too long, we need this contract to fix our finances, and one more, and one more, people from the Hardi corp are very busy, it's good that we can meet them tomorrow” explained Rita.

Arya closed her eyes to hold back the nervousness. He swallowed his saliva out of fear. ‘hopefully this is just a coincidence his inner’.

“well Rita, do what you think is good, sorry, for 3 weeks you must have been very busy in the office, I really troubled you again” said Arya by strengthening herself.

“don't be so Arya, what I'm doing is not yet comparable to what you did for me in the past” replied Rita, who made Arya take a deep breath hearing it.

After Arya closed her phone, she immediately sat down next to Mila and looked into the eyes of Mila who was still looking at her with a surprised face. Mila really wondered why Arya looked scared like that.

“ada what?” ask Mila slowly.

“you sure didn't tell anyone about Indra right?” arya asked Mila with a look full of fear.

“No, is there any problem with that” Arya shook her head weakly hearing Mila's answer,

‘so this is true just coincidentally, only Tomy, Mila, uncle and aunt know this problem, there is no way om Hardi know this problem' inner Arya to calm her heart.

“Arya, don't you want to tell me everything?”

“no Mil, there is nothing to tell, as I said, Indra has been buried in the past, we do not need to talk about it to anyone” Arya took a long breath for a moment.

‘I have to be careful, it could be that om Hardi is using me to gain advantage if he knows everything,’

“but why are you so scared if other people know about Indra?”

“does I look scared?, why don't you hug me like before?, maybe with that I'm not scared anymore” Arya tease Mila to divert their conversation.

Mila's face flushed hearing all that, she was completely ashamed of what she had done earlier this morning.

“Mil, hug you good lo, do you not want to do it again?” the Aryan Goda that makes Mila heat up and her face reddened.

“Arya, ” said Mila half-shouting, her hand then pinched Arya and she immediately lay back to Arya holding her shame.

Arya smiled a sigh of relief, at least that night the discussion about Indra was no longer continued.

Arya then got up to get out of the room, realizing that, Mila then got up and looked at Arya's back which was near the door.

“where are you going?” Mila is still afraid that the man will leave her again, a feeling that will always overshadow her if Arya is not there by her side.

“I want to drink”.

“don't sleep outside again or in that chair, sleep in bed with me” Mila said as she lowered her head, again she had to humble herself to ask Arya to sleep with her, and Arya smiled at him.

'don't reject Arya, I beg you, this is the umpteenth time I've asked you this,'

“will I be safe sleeping on that bed?” arya asked with a smile.

“what do you mean safe?”

“you forgot, you used to hug and kiss me, and this morning you slept by hugging me, I don't know what will happen to me tonight if I sleep in your bed” said Arya again who made Mila grimace again holding in shame, Mila immediately took the pillow that was on her bed and threw it with all her might towards Arya, “Arya,,,,” she said half shouting.

Arya smilingly caught the pillow that was thrown by Mila she then put the pillow into bed, “wait for me yes, do not sleep first, do not sleep first, so you can be satisfied to hug me later” said Arya while out of Mila's room, while Mila immediately went up to her bed to go to sleep immediately. ‘I have to sleep first, but I have to sleep first, if not later he even assorted” inner Mila.
