Pursuing Your Love

Chapter 9 Searching for Mama Krystal

The next day when it was still dark, Mama Dion was shocked when she passed Dion in the living room.

"God willing, Dion surprised my mother. You're usually still sleeping."

"You want to accompany Krystal in search of her mother and sister, Ma."

"Then you help me prepare breakfast.."

Not five minutes, Dion had already rested his head on the dining table. She's asleep.

"Oh my goodness, Dion. Even fell asleep at the dinner table."

"August, Aunt..." Krystal suddenly appeared and cried out loudly. Mama Dion hurriedly put her index finger on the lips to signal that Krystal would not make a sound, then pointed to Dion who was asleep.

"Maybe because Dion stayed up last night, Bi. I'm sorry, because I'm Dion staying up late."

"It's okay, baby. Aunt was happy, because of your presence, Dion was not lazy anymore. Aunty seems to have a child. Oh, yeah accompany Dion yeah, Auntie wants to take care of uncle first."

Dion finally woke up. He was startled then hurriedly ran to his room, Krystal just laughed watching his behavior.

"Whose target are we today, Dion?" Krystal asked as they arrived at the Public Library.

"His name is Ayesha, at this hour she used to be here reading books."

Not long after, Aisyah appeared. The girl approached Dion. Highlight the jealous eyes present when Aisyah saw Krystal.

"Dion, I have something to ask you."

They both moved away from Krystal.

"Dion, my father betrothed me to someone I didn't like. How's this, Dion? Should you ask to cancel his intention to match me?"

Dion smiled inwardly, it's good that I didn't have to bother deciding on you..

"I can't stand in the way of your father's intentions, Aisyah. I haven't thought about getting married. Your father's choice must be a good one, after all. There's no way your father's looking for a daughter-in-law who doesn't suit you. This is your chance to please your parents."

"Is this your attitude, Dion? You just give up and don't hold me back?"

"Your father doesn't like me, Shah. You know that yourself."

"I'm disappointed in you, Dion. I thought you were going to fight for me. Turns out I was wrong. You don't love me at all. Assalamu Alaikum's.."

"Wa Alaikum Salam's. May you be happy, Aisha."

"There are no violent scenes. You survived this time, Dion.." Krystal comes to Dion.

Elsewhere, as they were waiting for their next target, a girl approached them, she was very neat and looked tense. "Dion's?

"You've come rani, please sit down.

Without answering Dion's question, Rani sat down and her eyes could not be separated looking at the only woman who had been with Dion, a cynical look was not hidden rani, she seemed to want to swallow the prey,"Who was that woman?

"He's my friend from Bandung.

"Oh so? So it's true people say.

"What do you mean?

"I heard gossip about you.

"What rumors?

"Dion don't pretend, you've had a lot of girlfriends, right?

"Yes you're right, but who told you?

"You even admit it, without avoiding it.

"Of course, because I'm like that.

"I heard it from my friends, at first I couldn't believe it, when they warned me that you were a playboy. I tried to believe you, I'm sure everything I heard was a lie, but here you admit it without giving me a reason.

"You're a lawyer's son, you're good at saying things that will take a weak man, but I'm sorry ran, I can't give you the answer you want, one thing you should know, I never loved you, so let's end our story full of lies.

Rani who started to shed her tears now wiped her tears, she approached Dion and slapped him, "You shouldn't be playing dion's woman, I've loved you so much all along, even I acted like a child in front of you, but one thing I realized, you were such a coward. After slapping and scolding, rani leaves them both, dion then sighed deeply, "He said what was true, but this time at least I didn't hear his mother's words.

Dion and Krystal did not stop here, now they both walked to the campus looking for the figure of bella, shortly afterwards dion finally found bella, and, krystal, who doesn't know the figure of bella, looks confused when Dion points to a group of girls who are sheltering under a tree, "Bella is there krystal, let's meet her.

"No, you go, I'll wait for you here.

"alright.

Dion approaches bella while she is with her friends,

"Dion's?

Bella greets dion, she looks so gleeful,

"Dion how was your holiday in Bandung? What fun? I miss you, why didn't you ever call me back in Bandung?

"What the hell are you talking about Dion? Are you jealous?

"Of course not, my holiday in Bandung was very pleasant, as you think, but during there I realized something.

"Whatis that? Sounds ominous. Bella was so excited to wait for Dion's story.

"I realized that we shouldn't have this kind of relationship with Bella.

"What do you mean? Do you know if all this time, I liked cheating behind your back? Who told you dion?

"No one needs to tell me rani, it's obvious, you're blatant my way around in front of me, but this time it's not the reason, it's just that I feel like what we're going through right now is wrong, so let's break up.

"Then what about you? I'm the playgirl, isn't it any different from you who's also a playboy?

"So you know, when you know why you still want to walk with me?

"Your reasons are the same as mine, just to waste time and have fun.

"For that let's end this, sorry for making you one of the women I played with, bella I hope you left everything you did, too, I'm sure one day you'll find your true love, and goodbye, Dion leaves bella grieving for being decided by Dion.

Time keeps rolling. Dion and Krystal go to Dion's girlfriends. Gita who likes to use Dion, do not believe Dion decided it, now no longer pay his goods without getting angry first, dion also not hit by the gita, it is a relief. Cica now can not laugh like her trademark, now her carefree face is erased by sad words that never imagined would be thrown by dion for her, dion who said a word of broken to her, dion, making it look sad while Dilla, who had also been decided by Dion, initially laughed, she believed that Dion was harassing her, because she also often bullied Dion every time she had time, but when he asked again, Dion confirmed and it made him sad and cry.

"Dion's? You seriously want to break up with me?

"Yes, I'm serious.

"But why?

"Because I never liked you much less love you, everything we've been through all this time, all just because I wanted to have fun and by going with you made my day not bored.

Hearing Dion's words, a slap of dillas on Dion's face, it was a farewell from dilla to dion. There were still a few more girls and it wasn't a difficult thing for Dion.

"Krystal, where are we going to find your mother and sister?"

"I'm confused too, Dion. Jakarta is too big. How do we find them?"

"We need to think positively. We must have found them."

After circling around looking for the address listed on the paper, Krystal and Dion then got off the car.

"May this be his house."

Dion knocked on the door.

A 12-year-old girl opened the door.

"Assalamu Alaikum adek."

"Wa Alaikum Salam's. Who's looking for you?"

"Is this really Hilda's mother's house?"

"Ehm... Who is it?"

"Who's out there, son? Who are they looking for?" A hoarse voice sounded from within. Soon an old man appeared.

"The two boys are looking for Mother Hilda?" Dion nodded.

"Let's go in."

Dion and Krystal then walked in and sat in the living room.

"The owner of this house used to be Hilda's mother. Then I bought it."

"So right, mom and sister used to live in this house?"

"Yes, Son. But five years ago they moved on."

Krystal crying.

"Sorry, sir. My friend is the daughter of Hilda's mother."

"Oh, huh? Your mother was very kind to us. At that time, my money was not enough. But your mother doesn't mind. I'd like to pay the rest if I have the money."

"Do you know the address?"

"Yes. Because you took it down, son. Because you still have debt, you've visited your mother several times to pay off the rest."

In the car Dion and Krystal were quiet. Both pensive.

"I didn't find my mother."

"Better we go home first, Krystal. At least there's an address that the father gave us."

Krystal nodded. The car then drove through the afternoon which began to be decorated with orange sky.
