Pursuing Love in the Past

The Suspect?

Alfian was reminiscing about the good times when they became lovers. He deliberately passed the road they had been through when going to take Ayunda home.

Ayunda did not argue at all even though it would make his journey home further and further.

"Did you like to hear this song?" ask Alfian while playing Ayunda's favorite song.

Ayunda retorted with a thud while nodding her head.

"Everything about you is nothing I've ever forgotten" said Alfian who made Ayunda speechless, but not with her mind.

"Are you still thinking about Dafa?" alfian asked with a glance at Ayunda.

Ayunda immediately looked. "Where do you know about Dafa?"

"Winda who told sister, because she asked for help brother to investigate the truth" said Alfian who is still focused on driving.

Ayunda retracted her gaze. The rough snorting sound was heard by Alfian, then he threw his gaze outside the windshield of the car. "Sister-in-law also asked Tony for help, but some CCTV footage was difficult to get by Tony."

Alfian looked silent, but not with his mind. "Sister will help you in all the best ways you can, until the real culprit is revealed."

"I believe the same brother's words" said Ayunda calmly who managed to make Alfian smile happily.

"Thank you for believing in you, brother. Brother will not disappoint you", said Alfian as he pulled his vehicle in front of the entrance gate to his apartment.

"Why are we here?" ask Ayunda when she sees a place that is no stranger to her.

"I want to entertain you, because it's been a long time since we've seen each other, so you want to listen to your story while abroad."

Ayunda resigned, because it was not possible for him to leave the place.

"Let's get off" Alfian asked as he just opened the car door. Ayunda got out of the car.

"Who lives with my sister?" ask Ayunda when closing the car door.

Alfian looked at Ayunda with a meaningful smile. "Why ask like that? Does Yunda want to stay with sister?" goda.

Ayunda's face immediately blushed. "Yunda just wants to know, brother. If you do not want to know Yunda is also okay" he said by throwing his eyes away. Then they walked into the elevator which was wide open.

"No one will say, if you don't want to tell me", Alfian replied with a smile.

"Actually my sister lives with Zahra, she misses the figure of a mother. Even though she's not my real daughter, I will take care of her. Will Yunda object to Zahra's presence in our household?"

Ayunda gasped when she heard Alfian's words. He turned to Alfian.

"I really want to make you my wife, so I told you in the beginning about the existence of Zahra" Alfian said as the elevator doors opened again in the order of the floor they were headed. Alfian and Ayunda walked out of the elevator. Their steps were aligned as they walked towards Alfian's apartment.

Alfian immediately entered the password of his apartment key. After opening Alfian invited Ayunda inside.

"Papa.." cried Zahra to Alfian. Then he ran away hugging the father.

"Did Zahranya papa take a shower?" alfian asked as he kissed the body of his beautiful daughter.

"The dong pa. It's already fragrant", said Zahra's tiny lips.

"Um, yes it smells good. Means papa dong who has not bathed" said Alfian who made Zahra chuckle. Ayunda smiled widely when she saw the familiarity of the two.

"Zahra remember this aunt?"

"Yes, honey. Zahra wants this aunt to be Zahra's mom?"

Alfian's question managed to make Ayunda belittle. Zahra reacted another way.

"Mama Ara is only 1, can not be replaced" he said in an angry tone.

"It's not like that, baby. Mama Zahra is no longer here and will not return. So..."

"don't want. Mama Ara is there. Don't want anything else."

Just now Alfian was planning to enjoy a meal together like a complete family. But he had to say it because Zahra had not understood the meaning of Alfian's words.

Ayunda walked over to Zahra. "Hai Zahra", said Ayunda, but Zahra threw her face away.

"Tante is also like Zahra has a mother of only 1, second to none. The difference is now that Zahra's mother is not here anymore, but in the best place with God."

Zahra finally turned towards Ayunda. "Where is my aunt?"

"Aunty's mom is. He's still here, close to auntie."

"If it's a nice aunt dong. Not like Ara."

Ayunda answered Zahra's words. They talked closer to the point that Zahra was already in Ayunda's lap. Zahra seemed to be enjoying her conversation with Ayunda.

"Pa, Ara likes mama like this auntie" said Zahra's lips that made Alfian soar with excitement.

"Thank you dear." Alfian immediately kissed Zahra's forehead and cheeks repeatedly. A moment later he stopped kissing Zahra. "Then Zahra had to persuade this aunt to become Zahra's mother."

Zahra looked towards Ayunda. "Aunty want?" ask Zahra to the point that makes Ayunda drunk.

"Later aunty kasi answer yes", reply Ayunda while staring intently at Alfian.

Not long after, Alfian's food order came. They immediately enjoyed the meal together at the dinner table. In between enjoying the food Alfian smiled happily when he saw Ayunda bribing Zahra painstakingly. She looks very motherly, inner Alfian.

At the Ayunda residence, his family was gathered when a letter from the police returned. They were worried about opening the letter.

"What's the letter?" ask the mother without patience.

"This is the second call, bun. There may have been some progress on the investigation."

"Will our Yunda be arrested?" ask the mother with worry.

"No bun, because our Yunda is not a status suspect."

"Will Yunda be a suspect?"

The mother's questions seemed endless to make Adrian a little careless. "Bun, we better pray that our Yunda will not be made a suspect."

The mother nodded her head. Then the net saw the wall clock. "The mother wants to pray first", he said, who began to be upset when he found out that Ayunda could be a suspect. The mother stepped her feet into the room, the father also wanted to do the same thing. He followed his wife into the room.

Adrian put the call on the table. Then he dropped his body weight on the sofa while leaning his back.

"Pa, let's pray", invite Vinda when she hears from inside the room that her two in-laws will do their duty.
