Pursuing Love in the Past

Dhany the shooter

The sky returned to his complaint. But Reina was still sitting in the meeting chair with a lethargic face while recording all the important information from the conversation of two men who were talking about their business.

"Now, we have a deal?" ask Mr. Dean just closed the laptop in front of him.

"Agreed", said Alfian as he extended his hand.

Mr. Dean extended his hand. "We will have a good contract" he said as they shook hands.

Finally finished too, Inner Reina. The drowsiness that had been held back was really torturing for her, because she had not been used to sitting for hours while discussing something that she did not understand.

"Please, let me take you Mr. Dean", Alfian said with a smile looking at the client.

Mr. Dean replied with a smile towards Alfian. "Thank you's. Please, go first."

After Alfian, Mr. Dean and Mr.'s assistant. Dean, Reina immediately packed the office equipment that had just been used for meeting purposes. He rushes to the OB to quickly tidy up the meeting table. Then he sat back in his original position, waiting for the OB to come. Somehow he began to feel the cold that made his hair stand up. Highlight his eyes through every corner of the meeting room with a pounding heart that hunts.

"Aaa" he shouted as the OB had just opened the door.

"Why mom?" ask the OB while approaching Reina.

"It's nothing" he told a lie as he left the OB. Just as Reina closed the door, she heard something fall inside the meeting room. Reina quickened her pace until she arrived at her desk. Without paying attention to the surroundings, he grabbed his tote bag while stepping hurriedly towards the elevator door.

"Didn't he see me?" asked Alfian who had noticed Reina walking in a hurry.

The night changed in the morning as if a shadow. Just laying down the body had to wake him up.

This morning Alfian and his grandfather came to the hospital in a hurry, after receiving a phone call from Mr. Benny, Siska's father.

"How is he doing?" asked the old man when he was just standing next to Benny. Alfian followed his grandfather by standing next to him.

"Siska coma!" exclaim sir Benny.

"What!" sahut the grandfather and Alfian together. "Can't you?" ask Alfian. It felt that it could not happen, because he was still in good condition when talking to him.

"He's under a lot of stress. As a result, the incision of the former operation re-bleeds. So he was unconscious until now" said Mr. Benny lirih.

"Is it because of Grandpa's words?" guess Alfian. The grandfather looked at Alfian as if he did not want to be made a scapegoat.

"Yes, it's all because of Santoso's grandfather. If you hadn't said something that hurt Siska, she wouldn't have been as stressed and comatose as she is now!"

"Don't twist the facts!" exclaimed the grandfather while holding back his emotions. "What have you done, then be prepared to accept the risk."

Mr. Benny frowned. "What have I done?" ask without feeling guilty.

"Is Mr Benny sure he didn't do anything?" Grandfather asked as if trapping.

Mr. Benny was silent for a moment. What this old man already knew, his inner. "I didn't do anything" he said, repeating his words and trying to stay calm.

"All right, let me just say it" said the grandfather, sitting in the waiting chair with the bodyguard's help.

"First, I want to ask one thing" said the grandfather paused. "What have you done to your mother, Linda?" ask the grandfather who made Mr. Herman and Alfian jerked in surprise. Alfian immediately turned to look at the grandfather as if asking for more.

"What have I done?" he asked back, but the tone of his voice began to tremble.

Mr. Benny gasped, his tongue as if blocked from hearing the words of the grandfather. His mind also began to rage with many assumptions, so that he could no longer think with his common sense. There was not a single idea that he managed to think about, suddenly the officer who was in charge came to him.

"With Benny sir?" ask the authorities, but Mr. Benny managed to escape before he answered the officer.

"Come on, go after him!" exclaimed the officer's leader, when his men had preceded him chasing after Mr. Benny.

Alfian looked at the grandfather who could do such a cruel thing, at a time when Siska needed the attention of the closest people.

"I know you're angry, right?" the grandfather said as he looked at Alfian's expression. "But you'd be even more upset if you knew who was behind the murder of your parents" said the grandfather who managed to change Alfian's expression.

"Who's the kek. Let's say!" press Alfian with a huffed feeling.

"You calm down first. Soon you will know", said the grandfather, rising from his seat. Then walk away from Alfian.

Alfian followed his grandfather in a hurry. "Don't make me even more curious, cake" he said with a peck of annoyance. Somehow he felt that his grandfather was playing tricks on him. "Colder cake. Say it now", talk to the grandfather, but not a word is said from the lips of the grandfather. Finally he gave up, he walked ahead of the grandfather like a sulking child.

The media in London still report the shooter on a campus that is quite famous in the city.

"Dhany... Dhany ", said Ayunda repeatedly trying to remember the name. But never once did he meet even meet with a person named Dhany on campus.

"Former recidivist", said Ayunda later while continuing to remember him. "Did I ever report it?" he asked in his mind.

"Who, Ay?" ask Dafa who appeared suddenly from behind Ayunda.

"You surprised me" said Ayunda, stroking her chest.

"I'm sorry... Excuse me... "

"Yes, relax. I'm just kidding", said Ayunda while closing the laptop that had been opened. "So I thought about the shooter named Dhany" Ayunda said, staring at Dafa.

Dafa retorted by staring at the beautiful bead of Ayunda's eyes. It felt like he had always felt their closeness like this moment. Ayunda also began to fidget when she got an intimate look from Dafa. He immediately threw away the origin of his sight.

Why is it so hard for me to open my heart to Dafa, the inner Ayunda.

Dafa began to stir to fill the silence between them. "Don't think about it again. I already know who Dhany is" said Dafa who made Ayunda turn back to Dafa.

"Who's Dhany?" tanyakanya.

"He was in debt with a loan shark and couldn't afford to pay him, so he was in jail."

Ayunda knitted both of her eyebrows. "So why is he after me?" ask Ayunda who is still curious.

"Dhany's Siska's boyfriend."

"What, girlfriend?" ask Ayunda, but Ayunda does not want to speculate. "Say it clearly, just go straight to the core", Ayunda exclaimed with slight annoyance.

"Don't be angry, beautiful lady" said Dafa, who managed to make Ayunda blush. "So Siska had already paid off all of Dhany's debts, so she was released. In return Dhany performs at Siska's request... Dor's...."

Ayunda gasped at the words of Dafa. He could not figure out why Siska was still after him. Though Siska was married to Alfian, not even once did Ayunda contact Alfian.
