Pursuing Love in the Past

Pursuing Love in the Past
Ayunda Restless



Tonight bears witness to Alfian's seriousness in loving a woman he never forgot 15 years ago. Although Netra Alfian was focused on driving, he occasionally glanced at Ayunda who was sitting next to him.


"Look ahead!" yelled Ayunda without looking at Alfian. He could feel the man who had proposed to him was watching him.


"So I'm seeing the future!"


"Don't be a dreadful, insipid culture."


"So don't know let's not be bland" Alfian replied. "We have to change each other's calls" he continued.


"But the current call is also good, sis."


"This brother is not Yunda's brother, but the future husband. So why call you brother?"


"What does he want to call?"


"Hubby, can be in short bi. How, bi?"


"You sure you want to be called like that?" ask Ayunda which makes Alfian confused. "The two letters are in the name of Abian lo!"


Alfian was silent for a moment. He tried to understand the meaning of Ayunda's words. "No problem. What's important is hubby's name for your future husband."


"Sister Adrian and sister-in-law also call each other by that name! They're confused that we're both calling."


"Oh yeah? Then help me think dong, Yunda", said Alfian who ran out of ideas.


"If you think you should, how about a honey call.."


"Again, han."


"But why did Yunda feel that call was too much huh sis?"


"According to sister no. Try Yunda from now on."


"Okay, han."


Alfian smiled when he heard Ayunda's new name to him. "That's good, han."


Ayunda was forced to comply with the wishes of her future husband, until there was a reprimand them later.


Alfian drove his vehicle through the still crowded streets with happy feelings. Today after the proposal he stated, his relationship with Ayunda will be even closer.


Cit.


The sound of car tires makes Ayunda shocked.


"What's up, brother?" ask Ayunda who knows that her residence is still a few meters away.


"Something was ahead."


"Don't go out han! It could be a trap. Lately there has been a rampant crime" said Ayunda who without her knowing Alfian looking at her with a happy smile


"Okay, honey." Alfian tried to retreat slowly and turned on the melee lights.


"Nothing" they said almost simultaneously. Then Alfian continued on their journey that stayed a few meters away.


After their deaths, a shadowy figure appeared in the tree crevice by the roadside.


 


Alfian stopped his vehicle right in Ayunda's courtyard.


"Yunda was worried about what happened earlier, Han. It could be that there are people who purposely blocked our path just now."


"No need to worry about Han. Your future husband's a black belt."


"Yunda was afraid that the person attacked suddenly. How about honey ask Tony datsng to pick me up."


"Tony's been bothered since. Honey doesn't have to worry. There's a God who's always protecting."


"It's good that honey says that. If you are careful on the road yes han" said Agayunda while getting out of the car.


 


"Don't anyone be stalking Alfian's sister" said Ayunda monologue.


Geck. Geck.


"Who?" ask Ayunda from her room.


"This is Adrian's sister."


"What's the middle of the night like this is brother knocking on Yunda's bedroom door."


"Azzam, a sudden high fever. Your brother and sister-in-law are going to the hospital. Please tell dad and mommy later, sister won't interrupt their break."


"okay, sis. Later Yunda conveyed to father and mother", said Ayunda while coming out of his room.


"Okay, deck. We're leaving right away."


Ayunda delivered the departure of the brother's family to the doorstep. Then he kissed the soft forehead of Azzam who was in the lap of Vinda. "Yes, God. Real hot. Quickly recover the handsome aunt."


"We go first. Assalamot..."


"Marine .."


Ayunda shut the door and locked it. Then he walked to his room. After being in her room, Ayunda again grabbed her phone on the nightstand.


"Why has there been no reply from Alfian" said Ayunda who was increasingly worried. Then he tried to contact her, but this time Alfian's phone was off. Ayunda put her phone back down with a peck of annoyance.


 


The morning sun warms up after the rain that came in just a few minutes this morning. Ayunda did not know when she was asleep, but the morning sunlight that burst through the window of her room forced her to get out of bed immediately.


"Why is morning so fast?" say the voice of the raucous while yawning widely. Then he shifted his body and got off the bed. In a hurry, he went into the bathroom.


Byurs. Byurs.


The sound of water splashing shows how lightning Ayunda is about to complete her bathing ritual.


Within 5 minutes, she was out of the bathroom. Then he hurriedly put on the office clothes he had just taken from inside the closet. His hand grabbed the phone that was located on the nightstand. His steps were in a hurry, but his finger was busy scrolling the phone in his hand which was a lot of missed calls.


"Why did Adrian call me so many times, did something serious happen to Azzam?" he murmured with worry. Ayunda also accelerated his pace towards the dining table.


"For dad, mom."


"For son. Did your brother tell you last night that they took Azzam to the hospital?"


"Sorry, bun. Yunda woke up late, so forgot to tell father and mother", said Ayunda with guilt while sitting in one of the empty chairs.


"Yes, it's okay. Father and mother felt strange, your sister-in-law did not wake up. Usually he wakes up earlier than father and mother."


"How's Azzam, bun?" ask Ayunda while swallowing fried noodles made by the mother.


"This morning the fever had gone down. Maybe Azzam is teething again, your brother and sister-in-law are too worried."


"They were afraid of sleeping with father and mother, so they went straight to the hospital."


"Yes, your sister also talks like that. But you've advised her, so next time don't panic."


"Baiik, bun", said Ayunda as she grabbed a glass of tea on the table.


After sipping a glass of warm tea in his hand, Ayunda rose from his seat and bid farewell to his parents. "Dad, mother this morning Yunda is late. Yunda left first, yes", he said as he wept his tote bag from the table.


"Yes, kid. Be careful on the road."


"Yes father, mother", reply Ayunda in a hurry.


Ayunda moved her feet away from the dining table. His heart was still troubled, because it had not heard from someone what happened to Alfian's brother, why there was still no news from him. The mind of Ayunda kept wondering.
