Pursuing Love in the Past

Who's That Woman?

The news of Siska's death was heard by her father who was in prison. He ruffled his hair in frustration as if he had no life expectancy. There was a grudge burning in his heart when he learned that the cause of Siska's death was Dhany's jealousy of Siska.

"Alphian... You will accept the consequences of your own actions!" siska said her papa while squeezing rice in front of her.

 

In a different place looks family and relatives who have just returned from the cemetery of Siska and Dhany.

"Mama... Pa", said the tiny mouth.Zahra who was not clear when talking.

Alfian gently rubbed Zahra's face. "Mama has met God before", said Alfian, but Zahra did not understand the words of Alfian.

Alfian took Zahra away from her mother's final resting place.

In the car park they meet with Ayunda. "I'm sad, brother. May His mercy be received by Allah."

"Amen... Yunda" said Alfian. "I'll excuse you." Alfian again took Zahra to walk through Ayunda.

Ayunda looked at Alfian's back nanar who walked away from him. "Goodbye, brother", said Ayunda softly. Then he took his foot out of the cemetery.

 

The next day Ayunda is at the international airport waiting for his scheduled departure. I don't know what Adrian said to their parents, until the father and mother gave permission to Ayunda to work and settle abroad.

"Why son?" ask the mother when she saw the sad face of Ayunda.

"No reason, bun", said Ayunda while distancing his face so that the mother did not see the tears that began to wet the corner of his eyes.

"You crying?" The mother pulls Ayunda so that Ayunda's face leads to her.

"No, bun. It's a flickering" he said lying.

Then there was the sound of airport operators asking passengers heading to London to get to the plane immediately.

"Come, bun", take Ayunda to the mother while pulling her hand. This time the mother wants to come with Ayunda to see firsthand the state of Ayunda's residence in London. The mother plans to stay a week in London while enjoying the beauty of the city.

At this time Ayunda is still holding the hand of the mother and walking together towards the plane.

 

The Alfian apartment.

Alfian stared at the twilight sky that accompanied his loneliness because of longing for someone. Actually, the opportunity to let go of longing for the person is in sight, but Alfian does not want to hurt Zahra when he sees it is very familiar with women who are not his mother.

Alfian was thinking of a way for Zahra to accept Ayunda, the woman he had always longed for.

"Papa.", said Zahra's tiny mouth that managed to disperse her daydream.

"Yes, dear" said Alfian, crouching before Zahra.

Zahra's tiny mouth started to babble, but it was hard for Alfian to understand.

"Zahra's gonna take a shower?" alfian asked to make sure that he did not misinterpret.

"Yes, papa."

Alfian was happy because this was the first time he guessed Zahra's words without having to see her repeatedly. "Come, baby", invite Alfian while holding Zahra's hand into the bathroom.

Alfian's days were still kept busy by office work and taking care of Zahra, Siska's daughter. Although very tiring, but Alfian still enjoy doing it, so without feeling he managed to raise it alone.

 

The company where Ayunda worked has opened a branch in his own country. Ayunda was happy to hear that. He is the one who once volunteered for a job mutation.

He answered steadily as the boss confirmed his wish, as a consequence he would get a salary under the salary in London. Without a doubt Ayunda agreed to it.

Ayunda began to clear up some of the work that still had to be completed. Although there would be a substitute for him who could do it, yet he wanted to take responsibility without burdening others.

Ayunda grabbed the phone on the table, she wanted to contact her family immediately. But suddenly he paused, because he wanted to surprise all members of his family in Indonesia.

 

Inrernational Airport.

Ayunda spread his legs cheerfully when he arrived at his own country. "It's been a year, but it's only been a month" said Ayunda muttering as she pulled her suitcase.

While walking through the airport crowd, suddenly his neutrals caught a figure he knew. "Alfian", said.

"Mba, call me?" ask the foreigner who is proficient in Indonesian.

"I'm sorry, not sir", said Ayunda with a chuckle.

"It's okay" said the bule with a smile, then he continued his steps leaving Ayunda who was still standing in his position.

"It is very sharp hearing is bule" said Ayunda muttered. Then he circulated his gaze looking back at Alfian's exact male figure.

"Well, there he is" he said, dragging his suitcase and walking towards Alfian. But suddenly Ayunda stopped his steps. "Who is that woman?" ask him by muttering. Ayunda was still staring from her standing position Alfian and the woman who was with him was laughing happily.

"Is Alfian married?" Ayunda kept asking in her mind. "It turns out he's easy to forget our love." Ayunda turned around and walked away from Alfian.

Shortly after Ayunda turned her back, Alfian saw her. He narrowed his eyes to make sure that the woman was Ayunda.

"Wait a minute, yeah", Alfian said to the woman next to him, then he ran after Ayunda.

"Yund!" alfian shouted to Ayunda, but Ayunda did not hear his cry. He continued his steps without looking back.

The woman who was with Alfian came to him. "Who is he?" tanyanya pushed her suitcase.

"He's a special person to me" said Alfian who made the woman in front of him gasp in shock. She thought the special lady for Alfian was Siska.

"Oo, I see" said the woman with an awkward smile.

"Come, let's go home", Alfian took a step.

The woman stepped her foot in Alfian's footsteps. But in his mind he was still curious about the woman who was considered special by Alfian. I'll ask grandpa later, his mind.

 

Ayunda had already arrived at her parents' yard. He slowly stepped his foot and opened the door. He looked around, but he found no one in the living room.

"Where are they?" said Ayunda muttering. Then he continued to step into the kitchen. By sneaking around Ayunda looking for the existence of the mother. But he still found no one there.

"Are they all at the restaurant? But why didn't they lock the door?" Ayunda sat in one of the dining chairs while thinking.

Surprises... The Ayunda family screamed right behind him.

Ayunda turned and looked at them with a sense of haru, but the look in Ayunda's eyes stopped on the father. "Dad why?" asked Ayunda when she saw her father in a wheelchair.

"Your father had an accident, son" said the mother.

Ayunda sniffed to hear the mother's words. "Where's the story, bun? Why doesn't anyone tell, Yunda?" Ayunda immediately walked up to the father, then hugged him tightly. His tears fell freely on his father's shoulders.
