Pursuing Your Love

Chapter 10 Disappointed Dion

In the morning while enjoying breakfast, Krystal's phone rang. Dion stopped eating. He wondered who called Krystal.

"Wa Alaikum Salam's. What's the matter, Panji?" Hearing Krystal mention the name Panji, Dion's face immediately pouted.

"Yes, thank you." Phone's closed.

"Totally short. What's the news?"

"The banner just came from Faiz's grandfather's place. I asked him to look at Grandpa. He said grandpa was fine. I don't have to worry."

I should have cared more about grandfather because he was my grandfather, Dion said.

"Oh, so. Tumben he called you."

"He's busy."

"Today I can't take you, Krystal. I got a lecture. After I finish college, I'll take you to see my girlfriends."

"Alright, while waiting for you to finish college, I'll take a walk."

"You dare to walk alone?"

"I'm going to take a taxi. Come back here again."

"I'll call you when it's over. Can I get you a cab?"

"No need. I'll wait by the side of the road."

At noon, a text from Dion reported that he had finished college. Krystal then rushed out of the flower garden to return to Dion's house, carrying a rose. While at his home, Dion was thinking of a strategy to break up his girlfriends.

He then texted Lola for not being able to reach the girl, after several times he dialed her number. Dion just sent an apology for wanting to break up with Lola, not many words did he write. Dion loved the girl very much but she had to choose Lola or Krystal. And he prefers Krystal.

Next turn, Winda.

"Eh, Dion. Sorry Dion, now I can no longer continue our relationship. Please don't call me again. I want us to break up. I hope you're not offended."

Dion simply smiled speechlessly.

"It turns out I wasn't the one who decided Vinda. He decided on me himself." He said while laughing.

"Hey, laugh at yourself like crazy." Tegur Krystal when she got home.

"I just decided on two of my girlfriends."

"Oh, huh? So where are we going now? Whose turn are you going to decide?"

"Name Sari. But we have to get to her college because she's in college today."

"Are you not on campus with him?

"No, he's an acquaintance of my classmate.

"Oh so.

*****

Arriving at the Sari campus, the girl had just parked her motorcycle.

"Dion. How are you doing? Where have you disappeared to?"

"Good news. It's just that the news I'm about to tell you might not be good."

"Ehm, what's up?"

"I want us to break up. Because as long as I'm with you, I feel like I'm being stalked by subtle creatures. I don't know like there's a ghost following me."

Sari's eyes were rounded in shock.

"really? I don't want to meet a ghost. We better break up."

Sari then hurriedly left Dion who laboriously held back a laugh. But when he met Krystal, the young man could not help but laugh.

"Basic strange girl. Times have been sophisticated like this still want to be fooled hahahahaha.. I told you there's a ghost that's always following me. He ran away and asked us to just break up."

Krystal's laughter exploded.

"It's really weird."

"That's what Sari is like. The type of people is different. But of all the girls I met, you were the strangest. Not weird but rare."

"Frare? How can it be rare?"

"Yes because you love roses so much that everything about you has to do with roses. Perfumes, shampoos, soaps and even accessories you wear are all rose shapes."

"Is this a compliment or a insult?"

"Just take a compliment."

"thank you. Then who else are the girls we're gonna meet?"

"For enough days here alone, now we continue the search for your mother and sister. We can trace the address the old man gave us yesterday."

"Today's the boyfriend you decided on just two guys huh?"

"Three anyway."

"Whose other one?"

"Not to be discussed anymore. The important thing is that I broke up with them, "If the results remain nil, I hope you don't behave like yesterday in the old man's house huh. I'm confused how to behave. If there's a banner, maybe he'd understand better how to deal with you."

"Tumben your words are true.."

"Because he's your fiancee. It's only natural that you lean your shoulder on her."

"Eh, check the paper. The address is right this one, right?" Dion pointed at a house.

"This seems to be the address the father gave me, Dion. Come on, let's get down."

Before they knocked on the door, a middle-aged woman approached them.

"Sorry, who are the two looking for?"

"Sorry, Mom. We're looking for this address." Dion handed me a paper with an address.

"Yes, the address is correct. Who are you looking for?"

"Look, Mom. My friend is looking for her mother and sister. Her name is Mother Hilda."

"Yes my. You're Hilda's son? Your mother sold this house a year ago." The woman opened the door and let them into the house.

"Thank you, Mom. We rush. Do you know Mother Hilda's address now?"

"Yes. Wait, I'll get it." The woman then entered the house not long after which she appeared with a sheet of paper in her hand.

"This is the address."

"Thank you, Mom." Krystal's eyes glazed over as she said those words.

"Together, Son. You look like your mother, so beautiful."

They then pampered. Along the way, Dion occasionally notices the moody Krystal.

"What's up, Krystal?"

"I was getting frustrated to find my mother. All the addresses we've been given end up moving on."

"Patience. At least we've tried."

Dion began to worry because the look of Krystal's face was no longer white, now even tend to pale. The young man hoped that Krystal would soon be able to find her mother and brother so that there would be no more exhausting searches for Krystal.

The address Dion and Krystal were going to next was astounding. If previously the house they found was good but not as luxurious as now. The security guard opened a small door near the gate when Dion rang the bell.

"Who are you looking for?"Ask the guard firmly without a smile.

"We're looking for someone, sir. Her name is Mother Hilda. It's the address." Dion gave me the paper. The security guard looked at the paper and turned to Dion and Krystal.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the boss."

The security guard then entered the guard post and called someone. Not long after, he walked out, locked the gate and drove Dion and Krystal to the porch.

"Please wait here."

The security guard then returned to the guard post. Dion and Krystal looked at each other.

"What's wrong with you, Dion?"

"I was amazed by your mother. The previous house is also very good, although not yet luxurious. Right now, his house is really luxurious. Looks like there's something your mama's been hiding, Krystal. Why does he always sell houses and move places?"

"Maybe you want a new atmosphere."

After fifteen minutes of waiting, a beautiful woman came out to meet them.

"Please sit down, my security guard says you're looking for Mother Hilda?"

Krystal nodded.

"I'm his son, Mom. I've been looking for my mom for a few days."

"You're Krystal? You are as beautiful as your mother. He often told me about you."

Krystal's eyes began to fill with dew.

"Auntie knows where mom is now?"

"Your mother gave an address to auntie but aunt has never been there. Understandably aunt is busy with business."

"I'm surprised, Bi. How do you often move house?"

"Oh, look. Your mom used to live here for a week. He told me he avoided your father who used to look for him. That's why he moved around a lot to avoid your father."

"But for what? I was looking for my mom because I wanted to leave her. At that time my father was very ill. Now dad's dead."

"Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rojiun's. Aunt is sorry and concerned for your father."

"Can we take note of your address, Bi?"

"Wait, yeah. Aunt get me the note." The woman then went into the room and came out again.

"Here, Krystal's address. Just bring the paper. Hope you meet your mama soon. Say hello to aunt."

Krystal and Dion then left.

"We'll just go home, Dion." Krystal said when they were in the car. Dion was just about to run his car.

"Why, Krystal? Didn't we almost find your mom and sister?"

"I don't want to see my mom. I didn't expect mama to have any love for me when my father was very sick but still trying to find mama. I feel sorry for you."

"You seriously don't want to see your mama and ask her why you're avoiding your father?"

"I don't need to know my mother's reason. Now that I know, mama doesn't want to see my dad and me. Then why am I looking for him?"

"Aren't you going to regret it later?

"I don't care and won't think about it.
