Pursuing Love in the Past

Back from Paris

Happy Reading 😊

🌸🌸🌸

This afternoon Adrian and the others arrived at the airport after a long trip from Paris. Adrian and Winda walked along casually ignoring Ferdo who had been gloomy, because it had been made like a cowboy by them. He stared in annoyance at the lovers who always showed such affection in front of him.

"I go home first, yes", Ferdo said casually as he passed Adrian and Winda. But his steps suddenly stopped when someone was running up to him. Ferdo wanted to get back on the plane immediately, to avoid the woman. "Oh, no!" Ferdo was wide-eyed and tried to find a hiding place.

"He's seen you" cried Adrian as he mocked Ferdo. "Puft, you won't be able to escape again!" adrian exclaimed still in a mocking tone.

Ferdo who has nowhere to hide finally resigned. He turned around and threw away his original gaze while standing at his original place as Siska hugged him from behind. "I miss you" said Siska still hugging Ferdo.

"Let go!" exclaim Ferdo with an unfriendly tone. But Siska won't let go. "Let go!" ferdo said by raising his tone.

Siska tried to soften Ferdo's heart. "Did you miss me too?" siska asked with a shameless face, as she took off her embrace.

Ferdo immediately walked with wide strides leaving Siska, without answering the question Siska did not want to answer. Siska, who did not want to stay, immediately ran after Ferdo. He kept following Ferdo's steps by walking on his left side.

"I've cooked something for you" said Siska, breathless, unable to keep pace with Ferdo, who left him behind Ferdo.

"Aww. "ringis Siska when Ferdo stopped suddenly in front of him. Ferdo's annoyed face turned cheerful at the arrival of a woman who was chatting with Adrian and Winda.

Ferdo was just about to walk over to Ayunda, but his steps came to a standstill, as Siska pulled her hand. "Let go!" ferdo said glaringly without looking at Siska.

"No will! You are my fiancee, so I have every right to ask you to be near me" Siska said, holding Ferdo's hand.

Ferdo clucked in annoyance, he tried to release his hand from Siska's grasp, but Siska increasingly held it tightly. Ferdo, who doesn't want people to see him commit violence against women, finally relented. Ferdo shook his head, but the look in his eyes fixed on Ayunda who hugged Winda with a sense of haru. The sweet smile that emanated on Ayunda's face seemed to make Ferdo bewitched.

"Pantes only", said Siska with a tone of dislike.

Ferdo, who kept smiling as he looked at Ayunda, made Siska faint, because he had ignored her endless chatter.

"Ferdo", he said spoiledly, making Ferdo shudder in horror. "Ehmm." he said then still in a spoiled snobbery while stomping his feet on the floor.

Ferdo, embarrassed by Siska's childish attitude, finally looked towards Siska. "What's wrong?" ask her with a flat tone.

"I was asking you. Where is grandpa? Why not together?" Siska asked while looking around, perhaps the grandfather went to the toilet.

"Huft, is that just a doang?" ferdo asked with a rough breath. Siska nodded quickly, impatiently waiting for Ferdo's reply. He wants to meet his grandfather soon.

"Grandfather had important business, so he did not stop by this city", Ferdo replied as he passed leaving the careless Siska with his grasp.

"Hi, Brother Alfian", greeted Ayunda with a sweet smile, but not with his current feelings. Ayunda felt sad because it was too late to know the man with the initials A. If he had known it before Ferdo's engagement, then Ayunda would have asked Ferdo to refuse the match and start a relationship with him, because he also liked Ferdo. But it's too late, Ferdo is engaged.

"Who are you here with?" ferdo asked with a happy smile.

"Self, Brother", retorted Ayunda who was also smiling happily.

Siska looked on dislike the familiarity of Ferdo and Ayunda. He instantly distanced Ferdo from Ayunda's side, so he was halfway between Ferdo and Ayunda.

"Darling, let's go home!" take Siska with a spoiled tone that re-spreads her hand. Ferdo starts getting sultry with Siska's disgusting attitude. "I came here specifically to pick you up, baby", he said later which made Ferdo even more fed up.

Ferdo is forced to follow Siska's wishes by going home with her, so that Ferdo no longer listens to Siska's spoiled pompous voice which gives him even more goosebumps. Ferdo walks with Siska to Siska's car in the parking lot, after saying goodbye to Ayunda, Adrian and Winda.

Adrian holds the phone in his hand while walking back and forth in the living room of his apartment. Even he almost threw the phone in his hand, if only Ayunda did not come. A news from his confidant had made him feel riled up. He panicked, because he had not found any evidence that could free his father from the charges that would incriminate him.

"Sister hasn't had a bath?" ask Ayunda who just finished her bathing ritual, while sitting on the sofa. Adrian who is still thinking about the problem of the father, just silence without denying Ayunda.

"Sister." said Ayunda back by waving his hand right in the face of the brother.

"Yes, why Yunda?" ask Adrian.

"Sister why? Kok is like confused" said Ayunda while paying attention to the look on the face of the brother who was confused.

"Hem, it's nothing, deck. There are only a few problems in the office" said Adrian by lying. Adrian has not been able to tell the whereabouts of the father to Ayunda or to the mother. He still wants to keep it a secret until his father is proven innocent.

"Oh." said Ayunda, nodding her head.

"But you can take a shower first, right? The work can be completed after taking a shower" said Ayunda who does not understand the problems that are being faced by her brother.

"Yes", Adrian replied briefly as he walked towards his room. He did not want to linger there, so that Ayunda did not suspect, and continued to ask her.

Ferdo stood on the balcony of his room while looking up at the sky. His meeting with someone he had been waiting for for 12 years ended miserably. He couldn't believe it was his father Ayunda and Adrian. Two people who had been best friends since childhood, although Ferdo and Ayunda's meeting was very short, but Ferdo always remembered him. Even Ferdo had promised in him that if one day he met Ayunda, he would make Ayunda his wife.

Ferdo was still looking up, he kept looking for the two stars that were shining brightly in the sky. "Star, where are you? Why didn't it show up?" asked Ferdo who was missing his parents.
