Pursuing Love in the Past

Siska Does Not Lose Memory

Alfian stepped his feet toward Siska who was still sitting with his own face on the park bench.

"Come on, we're going to the police station!" Alfian moved from his position and walked towards the car. "Quick get in the car!" alfian shouted as he saw Siska still sitting in her place

With a huff Siska set her foot towards the car that was already on fire. "Do we have to call the police?" siska asked as she closed the car door.

"Yes, we're leaving now!" Without looking Alfian immediately drove his vehicle.

Siska squeezed her fingers. He seemed to be worrying about something.

"You why?" alfian asked without turning.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about our Zahra" she said, throwing her eyes out the car window.

After that, there was no more conversation between them. Their minds seemed to be raging about something they did not want to say to each other.

Citt...

The sound of the car tire squeaks Siska's daydream. His eyes widened as he read the signpost of the name of the place they were heading to. The police station, the inner. Siska's mind is getting messed up.

"Come, get down", invite Alfian until Siska looks nervously at Alfian.

"I'm just here, can I?" Siska squeezed her hand. I don't know what scared him all the way until they arrived at the police station.

Alfian was silent for a moment. His tongue seemed to be blocked from telling the truth.

"Why silence?" ask Siska.

Alfian turned towards Siska. "Hem, who's Dhany for you?" Alfian's question made Siska gasp. Fear was evident in Siska's eyes, as Alfian looked at her.

"Bu-no one" Siska replied nervously.

"She's your ex-boyfriend, right" Alfian investigated as he raised both eyebrows.

"Ma- msna I know, I'm gonna lose my memory." Siska's nervous voice was still heard, even though she was trying to cover it up.

"Zahra is not my daughter!" exclaim Alfian.

"Who said he wasn't your son? We'll do it together, so she's your daughter."

Alfian stared intently at Siska. "So you remember that incident?" alfian asked who made Siska realize that he had said something that exposed his lie.

Siska is starting to get drunk. "Bu-that's not what I meant." He also tried to find an excuse to cover up his lies. "We're married, we must have had a husband and wife relationship" he recalls.

Alfian turned his body, until his gaze returned to the front. "Not covered anymore. Go, meet your father in jail. He must have missed you so much!" alfian cried who did not want to talk about Zahra. His love for Zahra makes Alfian want to have her completely, but he realizes that Zahra's real father is still alive and that Zahra is with him now.

Siska hesitated when she opened the door. But he suddenly remembered the services of the father, because his father was willing to do anything for him. Even the father had paid the doctor to lie to Alfian about his memory loss.

"I go first" said Siska's weak voice as she opened the car door.

Alfian only replied with a thud while nodding his head.

***

The Adrian residence.

"Dad disagrees", refuted the father over Ayunda's decision. "Enough for 2 years Yunda was there. Even though the salary offered there is bigger, but it is better in your own country!" said the father firmly.

The mother stared at Ayunda's wailing face. "Sorry, son. This time I agree with your father. If only to pursue excess money, why would Yunda go that far, because someday it would be meaningless."

Ayunda looked at the older brother who seemed to be thinking. "What about brother?"

"What is Yunda's purpose in going there just to pursue materials?" Adrian makes it clear.

"No, sis. Yunda just didn't want to miss the opportunity to work in this famous entertainment industry!" exciting Ayunda. "Father and mother please don't misunderstand me. Ayunda's intention was purely to realize Yunda's dream all along."

Adrian cleared his throat until he caught Ayunda's attention. "I don't understand what Yunda meant. But Yunda also could not ignore the words of father and mother."

Ayunda began to get frustrated because no one in the middle of her family supported her.

"I'm sorry... May I speak, father, mother?" ask the Sire politely. Even though he was already part of that family, but his status was still as a son-in-law.

"Please, son" said the father.

"I think what my mom and dad said was true. Why do we go so far when all we're looking for is money. After all, here too we can get more, as long as we want to try really" said Winda while pausing his speech. The father and mother looked at Ayunda as if asking him to hear the words of Vinda.

"But not all workplaces are the same. A painter will not be able to work as a designer even though their fields are similar" said Winda continued. Then he looked at my father and mother again. "Sorry dad, mom. I agree with Yunda's wishes. He would definitely feel comfortable working there, because it was in accordance with his field and his dreams all along."

Everyone in the living room gasped when they heard Vinda's words.

"But the father still disagrees", said the father firmly, the mother also chimed in. Then the father left them all. The mother also did the same thing by following the husband from behind.

While Ayunda stared at the departure of his father and mother with a sad face.

"Propsy. One day father and mother will definitely understand", said Winda gently while stroking the arm of Ayunda.

Adrian rushed out of the living room when he heard his little whiz cry from the direction of the room.

"Sister also saw Azzam for a while, maybe he wanted to drink milk" said Winda as he got up from the sofa, then he left Ayunda who was still sitting pensively alone in the living room.

What all my dreams should I bury deeply, inwardly Ayunda.

Alfian looked out at the car glass, looking Siska who was walking out of the police station with a lethargic look.

"Come, let's go home", take Siska while sitting on her lap again.

Alfian turned towards Siska. "How's your papa doing?" the question is a sense of humanity.

Siska was silent for a moment, then she sighed. "Have you ever met anyone in prison living a happy life?" ask Siska ketus. I don't know what Siska has talked to her father, until Siska shows her true face at this time.

Alfian smiled cynically. "If you know that prison is miserable, why do you still do evil!" sergeant Alfisn made Siska flinch. It was as if Alfian was insinuating himself as well.

"Dhanny is on the run from the police, because she managed to escape from prison. It must be because someone helped him." Alfian looked at Siska's nervous face as he emphasized someone's word.

Drrt... Drrt

Not yet Alfian continued to say Siska's phone rang.
