Picking Up the Past

Wants to Hear His Praise

“Rita, can I meet your father” said Arya who made Rita immediately rotate her body again.

“Meeting my father?, what for?” rita asked with a pias face to hear Arya's request.

“I want to know your father, he has been very good to bring you to this world to be my secretary” said Arya with a little joking. Rita swallows her saliva, she really does not want if Arya has to meet her father who is still languishing behind prison.

“I've told you, my father is still in Arya prison,” said Rita with a tight chest when imagining what her father's condition was like every time she visited him in prison.

“then what's the problem?”

“Arya, my father is in prison for allegedly embezzling funds in the Adinata group, and,,”

“and you said it was just slander, “ cut Arya on Rita's sentence, ,

“how can you still trust me after meeting my father later,?” rita asked with a meaningful look at Arya.

“i can still trust you when I tell you everything to me, then why can't I trust you after I met your father?” ask Arya again.

Rita took a deep breath, ‘I don't want you to see how much my father suffered in Aryan prison, he kept asking if Gibran's son had come back, what Gibran's son still remembered him for, if Gibran's son would release him from that prison, my father still believes that the dead son is alive today, I was saddened to see her hope that would never materialize that Rita's inner’ held back miserably given her father's already half-crazy condition expecting his young master to help her.

“when do you want to meet my dad?” asked Rita trying to toughen up.

“later, I have to finish something first before meeting your father” said Arya casually glancing at Rita's eyes that radiated sadness.

“you mean?”

“I want to meet your father, but not now, my work is still a lot, soon I also want to go out for a while, so our team meeting you please pending first until the end of the break” said Arya.

“ok” replied Rita simply as she walked out of the room.

Arya stared inside the back of Rita who came out of her room, ‘I have to make plans first with Tomy, I have to make plans first, and I really have to decide for sure whether or not to go forward to return to Arya's inner father’ company.

It really took a lot of courage to walk forward, because what he faced was not something small, but something big that could have cost a lot of people.

Mila was sitting relaxed while reading a textbook in the teacher's room in the morning break of her school children, she drank orange juice by slipping the juice pipette to her lips from behind her veil, Syifa then came over to the girl with a smile.

“it looks like I'm really curious about you now Mil” Syifa said without further ado,

“you mean sister?”

“I am craving an explanation from you for the events of the past few days, about the man yesterday who was looking for you, also about the incident in front of the gate a few days ago” Syifa said with a curious look at Mila.

“I have chosen my husband brother, I will not meet Arnes bang again, and the man who yesterday was my brother-in-law” explained Mila briefly.

Syifa narrowed her eyes hearing Mila “do you think that already explained everything?” syifa asked who was upset by Mila's reply.

“2 The man who yesterday was the bodyguard at my husband's job, my husband's friend told them to take care of me from the Arnes bang, and yesterday I met my brother-in-law because he had to explain something to me about my husband, does that make you satisfied?” mila asked with eyes slightly glaring at Syifa, and Syifa smiled looking at Mila's behavior.

“you better not be in touch with Arnes, the man looks very good at seducing women, he said, you just got seduced on him yesterday” Syifa said firmly he then pulled some books from his desk which was next to Mila's desk.

“Sister, don't talk about him anymore, I don't want to think about it” Mila said with annoyance, ‘I really have to bury my feelings brother, it's too expensive to pay for my love with my husband's life so good, it's too expensive, even I'm not sure I'll find anyone as good as Arya again on this earth Mila's inner’.

“then you want us to talk about what now?”

“i want to hear sister's story about the way big sister fell in love with sister's husband, I want to hear sister's story, because I also want to learn to give my heart to my husband as a whole”, said Mila with a smiling face to Syifa and Syifa also smiled at Mila's words, she was always excited and passionate when talking about her husband.

While Mila took a rough breath hearing it all, ‘astaga, why do I really feel like a useless wife huh, all this time, she who always woke up earlier than me, he said, preparing warm water for me to take a morning bath, even he is good at cooking, and I am not good at cooking at all, and also I always hold him first, not he who does it first for me, he said, actually that wife is me or her sih’ Inner Mila is picking herself up.

“know Mil, everything I do for her, she always praises me, and her compliments really make my heart flower like in heaven, and that feeling of love comes without being forced, I really love my husband Mil, I miss every touch, I miss every sentence that praises me until I feel flying, I miss the look in his eyes for me, I rin,,”

“udah sis,” said Mila who was getting sultry with Syifa's story, somehow hearing it all she felt impatient to meet her husband again, suddenly he imagined the warmth of Arya's body when hugging her, the soft gaze of Arya every look at her, he said, for some reason he wants to hear the words of Arya who always teases him and makes his face reddened with embarrassment when revealing what had happened when they were little, and somehow he wants to listen to Arya praise him, and he wants to listen to her, things he had never heard from Aryan's mouth.

“Mil, the embellishment you bought where?” syifa asked who was suddenly interested in seeing the ring and bracelet in Mila's hand.

“emang why kak?”

“itu white gold loh Mil, the price must be expensive” said Syifa who made Mila see the jewelry she was wearing, “I think also so kak” said Mila ketus, since she saw the jewelry, , she felt that the price of jewelry must be expensive.

“Mil, let's see, this design is not arbitrary lo Mil, this must be designed by professional experts, and this diamond, this, this must be really expensive lo Mil” praise Syifa unrelenting on the jewelry that Mila wear.

“this is from my husband brother, I also think the price of this jewelry must be expensive, but no matter how expensive this jewelry is, my husband is much more expensive than this,” Mila said meaningfully.

“suami is really sincere to you Mil, he even bought jewelry like this for Mil” said Syifa who made them both smile emanating happiness. Though Arya only bought the jewelry originally because it was urged to schedule a marriage contract when buying it, and Arya also did not care about the price of the ornament, although her savings were drained a lot because of buying it.

Arya parked her motorbike in the courtyard of Abel's house, she then stepped foot towards the door of the house and then knocked on it, several times she knocked on the house and said greetings, then the door of the house was open.

A beautiful looking teenage girl with white skin and a tall shoulder like Arya, her hair as black as a boat that she tied so that it showed her tie neck, her face as white as Abel, beautiful as Abel, and the girl was right standing in front of Arya right now with sleeveless clothes and shorts on her knees, revealing her white smooth thighs.

Arya immediately took her eyes off the girl, ‘astaga, why women like to dress seductively like this sih’ Arya complained in her heart.

“The bell is on deck?” asked Arya while looking at her bike.

While her sister Abel stared long at Arya's face, she was like admiring the look of Arya's handsome face with her fair yellow skin, his eyes looked into that face and admired Arya's body that looked ideal, ‘why handsome men who come here always looking for Abel's sister anyway, occasionally nanyain I like that, besides, Abel has a husband-to-be as handsome as Tomy’ upset Abel's sister in his heart.

“just now bang, I called first brother Abelnya” replied brother Abel kindly to Arya.

After 10 minutes, Abel stood by the door and looked at the back of Arya who was still watching the courtyard of Abel's house, Arya wants to see the concept of the park to be an input for the next design.

“Sorry, you find me?, there need what yes?” abel asked in a calm tone.

Arya then turned her body, and she could see Abel's red and swollen eyes, even in those eyes there were still tears still reminiscing.

“you're crying Bel?”
