Pursuing Love in the Past

A Business Partner

Ayunda prepared to go to the police station to fulfill the call letter he had received.

"Bismillah" he said as he just stepped inside the police station. Her net accidentally stares at a bald man full of tattoos brought in with a handcuff. At once Ayunda's heart thumped at the thought of something bad that would happen to her.

"Astaghfirullah" he said a moment later, stroking his chest as he thought something bad had happened to him. Then he continued his steps, walking to the criminal section, as per the instructions in the letter.

"Excuse me ma'am. I want to fulfill this letter call", he said as he thrust the envelope in his hand.

The woman before Ayunda received and read the letter she received from Ayunda. "Oh, it's over there" point it out using a finger. "Later on down to the left. Second room on the left. I just go in, later give this letter to the police officer who sat at the first table" he explained.

Ayunda said goodbye, he walked towards the room that had just been instructed by the woman.

Geck. Geck.

"Excuse me sir, I'd like to fulfill the call according to this letter." Ayunda handed him a letter in his hand which was immediately received by the police officer who sat at the first table.

"Oh, is this with Ayunda's own mother?"

"Yes, I'm alone sir."

"Wait a minute, ma'am. You have a guest" said the police officer cordially.

"Alright, sir", Ayunda replied with a friendly smile.

Still can smile at this mother, the inner police officer.

 

After half an hour of waiting for Ayunda, the police asked Ayunda to enter the room.

Ayunda who was initially afraid, finally began to be confident, when he saw the attitude of the friendly police officer did not even charge himself according to the contents of the letter. It took nearly 2 hours for Ayunda to be in the room. Although the police officer searched him with many questions, but Ayunda could answer him calmly, even using a lie detector.

"Thank you, Ayunda came and testified."

"Yes, you're welcome sir. Can I go home, sir?"

"Yes, please ma'am. We'll tell mom the next development."

"Good sir. Then I'll say goodbye." Ayunda put her foot out of the room. Then he stepped out of the room outside.

After being outside that room. Netra Ayunda caught the figure of the woman she knew. "That's Salsa", he said muttering. "Is he visiting his father?"

Ayunda quickened her pace after the figure of the woman who resembled Salsa. "Salvene!" yelled Ayunda calling him. But the woman did not look at all.

"Sal..."

Cit.

Someone had to press the brake pedal of the car suddenly. Otherwise he'll bump into Ayunda.

"I'm sorry... Sorry", said Ayunda when she realized her mistake.

The driver of the car lowered his windshield. "When you go look around, Mom! If I hit it, I'll be the one who bothered!" it's the service that makes Ayunda feel more guilty.

"Yes, sir. Again I'm sorry."

"Okay, next time be careful" he said as he closed the windshield. Then he drove off his vehicle, leaving Ayunda still standing in his position.

"Where is Salsa?" Ayunda stared across the street with a peck of annoyance. He no longer found Salsa. Then he turned his body and walked towards the parking lot.

After Ayunda died, Salsa came out of her hiding place. "I hope you will soon be imprisoned forever" Salsa said with a vengeance. Then he stopped the taxi that had just passed.

 

The Alfian apartment. He was sitting with Zahra who still looked weak was playing with her doll. Almost 1 hour long Alfian sat while watching Zahra babble alone.

Geck. Geck.

Chequek.

"Why is it so long just to open the door?" The grandfather stepped in with a prattle. "Had known your grandfather was no longer strong standing for long" he said while sitting on the sofa.

"Yes, sorry cake. Alfian was playing with Zahra."

"Zahra, the son of Siska? Why is she still with you, should you give it to her grandmother?"

"Although he is not Alfian's biological child, but that does not mean Alfian must hand it over to his grandmother. Just like a grandfather who takes care of a child who is not a grandfather's own son."

The grandfather was silent for a moment, because he could not refute Alfian's words. "Okay, it's up to you. If you want to take care of her."

"Thank you, cake", said Alfian.

"Grandfather to the point, because there's still something you have to finish at the branch company."

Alfian scrunched his forehead waiting for the grandfather's next speech.

"Actually Grandpa wants to match you with Siera, but grandfather does not want your marriage to end as it has passed. So grandpa will ask for your approval first. Are you willing to marry Siera?"

Alfian snorted violently. "Sorry kek. Alfian still disagrees."

"Okay, Siera, have you listened to her?"

"But, cake..."

"Grandfather said. Grandpa won't be willing to make a match, if either of you disagree."

Siera was bowed in lethargy, because the arrival of the grandfather did not give any meaning to him.

"Then grandfather wants to go directly to the airport, there is still a meeting with the branch office that grandfather must attend."

"Good cake", said Alfian. While Siera can only cluck upset because his plan failed before it started.

After the grandfather died, Alfian immediately stared intently at Siera. "Do you have no other job but to trouble grandfather?" he said with an unfriendly face.

"I just want to marry you. Is that wrong?"

"Wrong, if you're doing it just to fulfill your obsession with marrying a rich man."

Siera gasped in surprise when she heard Alfian's words. Since when did he know of my intentions?" his inner.

"If there's nothing else you want to talk about, then I'll leave you. You remember the exit, right?" remove Alfian in a smooth manner.

Siera got up from the sofa while stomping her feet. The plan he had just rearranged had to end with no results. He walked out of Alfian's apartment.

Ayunda had just parked her vehicle in the yard of the office where she worked. Then he got out of the car and locked it.

"Sore bu Yunda", said Abian which made Ayunda inching backwards.

"Brother surprised me. Why did you show up all of a sudden, anyway?"

"I'm sorry I surprised my mom. But I'm in a hurry. There's something important I want to tell Miss Yunda."

"What's important, sir?"

"Can we talk about this at the cafe there?" asked Abian by pointing at a cafe not far from the office of Ayunda.

"OK", said Ayunda briefly. He didn't want Abian to go back and look for him at the office. It is enough that they meet only business partners.
