Picking Up the Past

Ordinary Occurs

“I also want to bring brother Vanessa bu” continued Arya who made Mila swallow her saliva instantly. Vanessa rolled her eyes at what she heard.

“bring brother Vanessa?, make what?” mila asked Arya.

“if we go, Vanessa will be lonely here” replied Arya casually, ‘I can not leave Vanessa's sister here, if Ari fails to save this house, he can be stuck in the streets, he can be stuck in the street, the car must also be confiscated later, huh, why can't I guess Ari will go so far as to destroy the Mila family company, so that all the assets of this family can be lost seized by the bank, his inner’.

“but Arya, sister does not want to disturb you guys” said Vanessa trying to dodge.

“it's okay, brother, I also don't want brother alone here, what else if the boy comes home, he certainly did not treat his sister well” said Mila who agreed with Arya.

“ya already, maybe it's better, but if you can, you guys meet first with grandfather before going” said Saniah ma'am who made Vanessa take her long breath. ‘thank God, You gave me such a good family to me like this, Vanessa's inner’ held back her sense of well-being.

Saniah continued to eat while watching Arya's face, for a moment she could see there was a resemblance between Arya and Gibran, a resemblance that many might not realize if they really don't recognize Gibran well. Ms. Saniah took a deep breath for a moment, ‘maybe now I have to ask her directly, if it is true that she is not Indra, surely she has ties with the family of bang Gibran and sister Naina, for sure, maybe this is much better than I thought of a way to get his sample’

“Arya, may I ask you something?” ask Saniah ma'am in her soft tone.

Arya momentarily raised her head and looked at her in-laws, “by bu” she replied briefly.

“Why is that day you commemorate the death day of bang Gibran?” asked Saniah ma'am full of questioning, a question that made Arya and Mila round her eyes because she was shocked by the question. ‘ya Lord, God, did mom see me that day at the grave of my dad and mom’ Inner Arya couldn't believe it.

“what mother mean?” arya asked trying to dodge.

“that day I saw you and your friend come to the tomb of bang Gibran and sister Naina, you know, you bring flowers to commemorate the day of their death” said Saniah ma'am again who this time made Vanessa look towards Arya.

“what flowers did you bring with Tomy was for them Arya?, are they your uncles and aunts that you don't want to tell me about?” vanessa asked the same as Saniah ma'am, their tone was equally full of probing. Arya momentarily took a deep breath calming herself down, her heart was beating fast, the fear was re-emerging in her heart, he had absolutely nothing to prepare to protect himself if everyone knew who Indra and Arya really were.

Mila who understood the situation of her husband immediately opened her voice instantly. “mother and sister what to say, Arya family are all in her village, where maybe Arya brought flowers to their tomb, Arya, what else they have long since died, where maybe Arya knows them”.

“you forgot Tomy said what time it was Mil, the flowers they brought it for their uncle and aunt” refuted Vanessa on Mila's remark, Mila, while Saniah was listening to it all feeling increasingly suspicious of Arya, she stared deeply into the man's face which seemed to be starting to decorate.

“aa, my father used to work with them ma'am, my father owed them a lot, when my brother and I left for Jakarta, my father told me to look for their grave, since then we both always commemorate their deaths” said Arya lied. ‘ya God, forgive me for lying like this, forgive me, Arya's inner’ restrains her sinfulness.

“Susanto ma'am, my father was only a lowly employee at the company at the time, my father moved to the village because he was told to marry by my grandparents with my mother, we call them uncle and aunt because for Gibran's father is like his own father's brother” said Arya while taking a deep breath for the second lie. While Mila looked at her husband with concerned eyes, she could not imagine what her husband was feeling at the time.

Ms. Saniah took a deep breath hearing Arya's answer, ‘what have I been wrong?, or Arya who is lying now' Inner Saniah ma'am. While Vanessa heard it all by putting on a face of disbelief, ‘what did Arya lie?, it was clear that time Tomy said the story of their uncles and aunts would not they just open, they just opened it, why did Arya tell it so easily now’ her mind is full of suspicion.

Mila went into her room and found Arya staring blankly out the window, the man's gaze completely blank, his face clearly implying a deep fear.

Mila then approached and touched the shoulder of her husband who was wearing a white t-shirt, the underwear she was wearing behind her work clothes all day.

When Mila's white hand touched Arya's shoulder, Arya was immediately shocked, “you ngaggetin aja Mil” said Arya who immediately moved to their bed. “kamu again think what Arya, said Arya, why didn't you realize that I was in this room” said Mila slowly and followed Arya's steps towards their bed.

“Arya” muttered Mila slowly.

“I'm fine Mil, don't worry like that,” said Arya in a slow tone.

“What did mother's question make you uncomfortable,” asked Mila carefully, although she actually also wanted to listen to Arya's clearer explanation of the flower.

“this is common for Mil, I am still carried away by the trauma of the event” said Arya held back her fear.

Mila gently rubbed Arya's hand so that her husband could feel a little relieved. Arya then replied to Mila's hand and clasped his wife's hand.

Mila's eyes are then fixed on the red dot in Arya's white shirt located on the left side of Arya's stomach. “ini why Arya?, is this blood?” ask Mila spontaneously. Arya then takes off Mila's hand, she then sees that red dot, ‘ini why?, this is my blood?, Arya's inner’ which is as confused as Mila.

Arya then ignored him, he then got up leaving Mila, “I took a bath first Mil, and after that you also have to take a shower, I want you now” said Arya who walked to choose clothes in Mila's closet, while Mila could only endure the embarrassment with a reddened face, ‘why was she so innocent as to ask for it?, and that too, when only just now did she seem frightened, but now she wanted her inner me’ instead.

Arya went into the bathroom, she opened her shirt and came back to notice the red dot, ‘what's the matter in the laundry?’ his inner. She then laid her body in a bath up and slowly filled it with warm water. ‘hopefully Mila did not think of my fear after I touched her’
