Pursuing Love in the Past
Ayunda's Sadness



Happy reading...


The silence of the night seemed unable to erase the traces of the wound that Ayunda was currently feeling. One day, the wind will carry away all the memories that have given wounds in the heart. But the wind did not want to go away from him, he continued to penetrate the pores of Ayunda's face. As well as the stars, he still hid under his blanket. Though he wants to tell his longing to someone who has put a wound that feels sore until now.


The night was getting late, but his sadness still lingered in his memory. He hoped that when he closed the window of the room he accidentally opened, then all his sad stories would be finished.


Ayunda climbed on her bed, then pulled her blanket to the chest. He tried to close his eyes hoping that his sleep would be slumbering, but a shadow of Alfian suddenly appeared in his eyes. Several times Ayunda tried to close her eyes, Alfian's face still stuck in her mind. With a huff Ayunda continued to change his sleeping position, but the results remained the same. He sat up and ruffled his hair. "Go", he shouted in a stifled voice. That night was long for him. I don't know how many books he read, but he fell asleep.

The chirping of birds outside the window disturbed Ayunda's sleep.


"It's morning", he murmured while rubbing his eyes.


The drowsiness that should have come last night, he actually felt this morning. Ayunda, who did not want to be said to be a lazy woman, rushed down from the bed and walked to the bathroom to perform the bathing ritual, to look fresh.


After 20 minutes of completing the ritual bath, Ayunda immediately dressed neatly.


Tok...


"Yunda", call the mother while knocking on the door of Ayunda's room.


"Yes, bun", said Ayunda who was still standing in front of the mirror combing her hair neatly.


"Let's have breakfast, son", take the mother from behind the door of Ayunda's room.


"Yes, bun. In a moment Yunda went there", said Ayunda while continuing to comb her beautiful hair.


Today was their first day of breakfast together after a long breakup with their father, so Ayunda did not want to miss this happy moment.

After a few weeks passed, the moment that awaited Ayunda arrived. After less than 4 years Ayunda completed her college with cumlaude grades.


"Finally the cute sister of this sister graduation" said the brother with a pinch of Ayunda's cheek.


"Don't, brother!" yelled Ayunda with a grumpy clack. "Later the powder faded", his whine reminded the brother, holding his cheek.


"It's done" said Adrian.


"But the photos are not yet" Ayunda said. He looked up at his friends who were gathering. "Go there first, sister", point to Ayunda while walking to her friends who are busy documenting their moment of joy.


There were eyes that looked at the excitement of Ayunda with a smile on his lips.


"If you're happy, I'm happy" he murmured, then left the place where he stood.


Suddenly Ayunda felt her heart beat hunting. Holding his chest he circulated his gaze, as if someone was watching him from a distance.


"Hey... Ay", shouted one of his friends calling his name distracting Ayunda.


"Come, come here", call his friend by pointing at the spot next to him. After Ayunda was already in the place that his friend asked. According to their instructions, they immediately threw their respective toga, and perpetuated the happy moment.


After completion Ayunda immediately approached his family to go to a place that had been made reservations by his brother. They want to celebrate Ayunda's graduation.

Day after day seemed to pass so quickly. It did not feel like the tenth day after Ayunda's graduation dropped the application, but no company had yet called him for an interview. Ayunda who graduated with cumlaude predicate alone does not guarantee for him to easily get a job.


"Patience.", exclaimed the mother when she saw the look of Ayunda's disappointed face. "God must have provided the best for Yunda."


Ayunda nodded as without agreeing with the mother's words. "Yes, bun", he said in a soft voice. "But..."


"There is no but-but", the centile of the mother cuts Ayunda's speech.


"Yes, bun", he said lethargic while looking at the phone in his hand. He kept waiting for someone to call him for an interview.


Geck... Geck...


The sound of knocking on the door distracts Ayunda.


"Let Yunda open, bun", exclaimed Ayunda, who had gone from where she was sitting.


Chequek.


Ayunda opened the door and saw the postman standing in front of her.


"With Ayunda Milly Rendra?" The postman read the name on the envelope in his hand.


"Yes, myself", said Ayunda.


"This is a letter to you", said the postman by handing the envelope in his hand to Ayunda. "Please sign here", ask for the postal pack while pointing with the palm of the hand, after the envelope is received by Ayunda. Then the post and leave Ayunda.


Without reading the name of the sender Ayunda has opened the contents of the envelope. His eyes gasped as he looked at the contents of the envelope in his hand, a long-awaited reply.


"Post master, bun", replied Ayunda hesitatingly.


"Oh.", said the mother, then her bead was fixed on the envelope in Ayunda's hand. "What letter is that, son?" ask the mother curious.


"Ehm, just a regular letter from college" Ayunda replied with a slight lie.


The mother did not want to ask further about the letter, because the mother thought of Ayunda more understanding than her.


"Then, mother to the back garden first" said the mother by walking to the side door of the house leaving Ayunda. She did not want the hot cup of coffee she would bring her husband to be cold coffee.


Ayunda was silent for a moment. But his mind kept on raging. He wanted to tell his family the truth, but he paused to wait for the right time.

In a different place in a room without lighting, Siska flicked the curtains that were still tightly closed, so it was clear that Siska was wearing sexy red lingerie. Without worry, there will be someone who sees it from outside the window, he casually swerved toward the husband who began to be disturbed by the hot sun.


"Wake up dear", he said gently right in Alfian's ears.


With a blink Alfian opened his eyes that were splashed by the morning sunlight, then gradually opened wide. Alfian was shocked as Siska's face was directly above him.


"Why are you here?" alfian asked by pushing Siska. Alfian tried to get up, but he suddenly felt dizzy. Finally he went back to lying on the bed.


"You forgot, baby?" siska said with a seductive smile.


Alfian's brain quickly grasped the intent of Siska's speech. Then he pulled out the blanket that was still wrapped around his body. Alfian widened as he looked at his innocent body.


"What did you do to me?" the sergeant asked Siska for an explanation.


"It's not me, baby. But we.", said Siska smiling sumringah. "Last night we did it so sweetly" Siska said spoiledly as she clenched her index finger. "Even you asked me to repeat it a few times, making me so helpless", Siska closed her face in embarrassment as she recounted an incident that Alfian did not remember at all.


Alfian knitted his brows. "You lied!" the accusation is that he does not believe Siska's words.


Siska cried as she turned her back to Alfian.


"I'm your wife, wouldn't it be natural for us to do that?" whining with sobbing.


"Get out!" alfian shouted with a hardened jaw.


Then Siska ran outside the room sobbing. "You have no heart" he said as he closed the door.


Alfian brushed his hair and threw everything on the bed.


"Arrggg.".", screeches with a huff. Alfian felt that he had betrayed his love. He had promised himself that he would not touch any woman other than his beloved wife. Siska was his wife, but she did not love him.


Alfian gathered all the objects in his room that Siska might have touched after they had all gathered together and tied together, Alfian went into the bathroom to remove all the Siska touches.


After nearly 1 hour inside the bathroom, Alfian finally went outside still wearing a towel wrapped around her waist. Then she put on some neat clothes before moving outside.


Chequek...


Tony stared nervously as Alfian's bedroom door opened.


"Tony", cried Alfian calling out to him by standing in the doorway.


"Yes, sir", he said, running to Alfian.


"Come in", she asked firmly.


When Tony was already in the room, Alfian immediately searched Tony with many questions.


"What happened last night?" ask her while walking back and forth.


"Ehm, yesterday night you were drunk" said Tony hesitated.


"Must continue until it's done!" alfian exclaimed with a hunting breath.


"When you're drunk. Siska's mother saw me carrying my father into the room. Then Siska's mother came in and asked me to go outside. But I refused it. But I forcefully pulled Siska's mother's hand, until.", Tony hung his words while swallowing his saliva.


"Until what?" alfian asked with a sharp look towards Tony.


"Until the mother fell into the arms of the father, and the father kissed the mother by calling her dear" he said. Alfian glared in disbelief that he had done so.


"I didn't want to interrupt, so I went straight out of my father's room and closed the door" Tony continued.


"Okay, please throw away all that stuff!" point Alfian at the item he placed on the floor.


"Okay, sir", Tony replied while carrying the item. Then left Alfian's room after saying goodbye.


"I still can't believe I did as Siska said", Alfian muttered.
