Pursuing Love in the Past

Ayunda is badmood

Tony had just finished helping carry Siera's suitcase into an apartment that only had 1 room. His phone suddenly sounded.

"Bu Winda", he said muttering as he looked at the name that appeared on his phone screen.

"Assamualaikum ma'am Winda. Can I help you, ma'am?" tony said kindly, when he shifted the green button on his phone.

"Girisham, Tony. Yes, I really need your help", said Winda's voice from the other end of the phone.

"What kind of help do you need?"

"I want you to investigate the accident last night at 10, which happened on the hero's road. Check if there is CCTV there or witnesses who saw. Because the incident was attributed to my sister-in-law Yunda."

Hearing the name Ayunda called Tony a little interested. "What does this have to do with Yunda, ma'am?"

"They said that Yunda had pushed Dafa, until he was hit by a car. We saw Dafa come to this house last night. But at 8 p.m., he's gone from this place. If it happened at 10 p.m., that means he stopped long at the scene."

Tony understood the meaning of Winda's words. "Okay, I'll investigate the real events ma'am."

"Thank you in advance." The voice of Winda is still from the other end of the phone.

"Together, mom. I'm going straight to the scene."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to the good news."

"Okay, ma'am."

Then they ended the phone call.

 

Tony was at the scene. He looked around the tent. He also smiled when he saw 1 CCTV camera near the corner of the intersection. He quickly called someone to ask about the position of the camera DVR on the road.

After getting his information, he rushed towards the place that the person had just mentioned.

It didn't take long for Tony to reach the location in question. He rushed to ask the CCTV DVR, but they did not want to show the results of CCTV footage to him, on the grounds that it had been handled by the authorities. He also did not want to give up. Armed with his father's connections, he contacted someone. And sure enough as luck sided with him, the person was able to help him.

 

In the office Alfian was sitting on his hands while thinking about his future. It had been a year and a half since Siska's departure, she had never been in a relationship with any woman, even though her grandfather had offered several beautiful and smart women who were exactly like Ayunda. All the women were immediately rejected by Alfian before they met.

Today Alfian actually wanted to meet with Ayunda to express his heart and explain everything that actually happened, but Ayunda did not enter work.

Geck. Geck.

The sound of knocking on the door broke Alfian's daydream. "Lake in!" he said firmly.

"Excuse me sir", Reina said as she approached Alfian. "The cooperation partners from Singapore have arrived at the airport and are now on their way here."

"OKAY. You can handle it, right?"

"Could sir. I have 5 language courses, sir." Reina smiled confidently.

"good. Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Nothing sir. Then I resign first, sir."

"OK", said Alfian briefly. Then he prepared the file for presentation.

 

After finishing a very solid job today. Alfian hurried to go back to his apartment. His longing for Zahra made him not want to linger in the office.

"Reina, are you home yet?"

"A little while now, sir. It's a little over."

"Okay, don't be so late coming home. Let Tony get the attention of the others, you cry again."

"Don't be sad, I'm just kidding."

"No sir. Maybe I'm a little tired, so it looks like I'm sad."

"If so I go first."

"Okay sir", said Reina kindly.

 

The sky tonight looks beautiful. Many stars scattered to decorate the dark sky.

"Well, beautiful pa" said Zahra's tiny lips as they stood on her balcony.

"Yes, honey. Usually if you miss your grandparents and Ara, you always see a distant star" Alfian pointed with his finger.

Zahra smiled at Alfian's words. "When grandparents meet mama dong, pa."

Alfian seemed to think for a moment. "Hem, it could be. But mama seems to want to meet Ara deh."

"Yes, pa?" Zahra was enthusiastic.

"Yes dong dear. So Ara has to bobok, so I can meet mama in a dream."

"OK, pa", said Zahra cheerfully. Alfian then took her into the room.

 

This morning was so bright, it gave a new spirit and forgot the hardships of the day that had passed.

Abian and Alfian met in Ayunda's office when it was early morning.

"What is the need for Mr. Alfian to come to this place?" ask Abian full of search.

Alfian realizes that Abian is Ayunda's boyfriend. He could not say much about his need to come to that place. "I just want to ask him something important" she said.

"Can't you do it over the phone?" abian said as if showing a possessive attitude to the girlfriend.

"This problem can't be over the phone. I have to meet him in person", said Alfian with a serious face.

In between their debates, Ayunda suddenly came to the two. "What are you talking about?" ask Ayunda who just climbed the stairs to the 2nd floor.

"Oh, it's nothing. We're just.."

"She said Mr. Alfian wanted to say something to Ayunda's mother directly" Abian said cutting off Alfian's speech.

Ayunda glanced at Alfian, who made Alfian dumbstruck. Ayunda's sad gaze made her feel guilty, because all this time she never explained to Ayunda, what really happened between herself and Siska, even her relationship with Zahra was never told. Today he wanted to explain everything even though it was too late.

"Can we talk for a second?" alfian asked breaking the silence between them.

Ayunda was still silent, because she actually wanted to calm down for a moment after the problems with Dafa. "Can we talk some other time?" Ayunda's question made Alfian sad. He thought Ayunda would no longer talk to him.

"Okay, let's talk some other time. Can I get your phone number?"

Ayunda immediately gave her card to Alfian. "Here is my phone number" said Ayunda by forcing her smile, so that Alfian did not feel sad.

"Okay, then I say goodbye", he said after keeping Ayunda's business card. Then he moved his feet away from Ayunda and Abian.

"Have you had a special relationship before?" asked Abian who was curious.

"Do I have to answer, sir? Because as I recall it's not in the MoU."

Abian did not want to answer Ayunda's question, he seemed to know Ayunda was in badmood.
