Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

Eighty Three

"He talked to my mom?"

Farez nodded. He lowered his head again, feeling guilty for just telling Gantari everything.

"I was watching him, but it seems your mother .. knew him."

Gantari closed her lips, not knowing what to react to. To his knowledge, his mother lived a kara without relatives. They remained silent for a long time, until Gantari spoke again.

"Can you call him? I want to meet."

"Doctor!"

Farez and Gantari turned their heads together and found Utami walking closer with round eyes when they realized Gantari's whereabouts.

"Well, there's Gantari too?" ringis Utami awkward.

Gantari only smiled faintly, his mind was rooted incoherently. "You guys go on. I went first, yes," said Gantari, then stood up and grabbed the lunch box that had been tidied up.

Farez stood up and nodded. He felt bad for Gantari for hiding it all this time. So stuck with their respective minds, they do not realize if Utami does not come alone but with a box of supplies in his hands special for Doctor Farez.

"Utami, I go first" Gantari said as she passed, after throwing a smile at her boyfriend's secretary.

"Eh, yes. Careful, yeah." Utami smiled awkwardly. The tail of his eyes looked at the supply box Gantari was carrying, then quickly hid the supply box he had brought to the back of his own body.

"What's wrong?"

Utami is like losing focus. He looked over and looked at Farez in a daze.

Why is Gantari like that? Didn't he have a serious relationship with Mr Nevan? I gave up my first love for her, but why is Gantari like this?

"Utami?" Farez called again, staring at the confused Utami.

"Eh, that's Doc ...." Utami tried to turn the brain, lucky his phone rang, to make it survive from creating an impromptu reason.

"In the meantime" said Utami quickly. Then, he walked slightly away from Farez after seeing the name on his phone, Boss Nevan.

"Yes, Sir?"

"Hm, Utami. Immediately email me the full contract project in Jogja, yes. Soon," Nevan said without further ado. All files are held by Fikri and due to chaos in other projects, Fikri cancels.

Utami nodded, then immediately responded. He walked quickly out of the canteen with his cell phone still stuck to his ear without looking at Farez. He was rushing to where his car was parked. Being a secretary, Utami got used to carrying her laptop everywhere.

"Good, sir."

"Thank you, Utami."

"Eh, yes, sir."

"What's wrong?"

Utami paused her speech, even her footsteps that had been moving fast, now seemed to slow down.

"I'm at Sila Hospital now and .. There's Gantari too."

Nevan sighed deeply after the phone call she disconnected by first playing the part as if she knew everything about what Gantari was doing today. He put his phone back in his pocket, then turned around and joined the project's in charge, foreman and Mariah as well.

He needs to focus first. Solve one problem so that another problem is solved.

Gantari's phone clinks and she hastily checks it. Gantari was indeed waiting for news from Farez, when he could meet the woman called Jero.

Just as Gantari is about to reply to a message from Nevan, her phone vibrates and displays Farez's name.

"Farez?"

"Sorry, Diyan." Farez's tone of voice sounded so wrong. "I can't reach him."

Gantari let out a disappointed breath. He was really curious about the figure of the woman and again why did his mother never tell anything about the woman if she knew him?

"Dihyan?"

"Oh, yes. Thanks, Farez. If you have any news, please let me know, yeah."

"certain."

The call is interrupted and Gantari can only be pensive. But then he got up and walked into his parents' room, unpacking the closet, trying to find clues.

Elsewhere, Nevan again sighed in disappointment as Gantari disappeared without giving any news.

"They like black coffee, huh?"

Nevan's daydreams are disturbed. Mariah, the little-faced girl was apparently smiling broadly at him.

They just finished discussing the project issue and now just stay alone in the Coffee Shop because the others have already paid first.

Nevan did not answer. He only stared at Mariah long enough, only then replied in an unreadable tone of voice, "Like."

Hotel Tentrem is facilitated by Coffee Shop Cinnamon overlooking the pool. Perhaps, that is one of the reasons Nevan makes this 5-star hotel a subscription.

Sido popped the punch already presented at the Mariah board, while americano became Nevan's choice.

"Why?"

"Hm?" Mariah cleared her throat, then smiled again. "Question, Mas."

Nevan unbuttoned his shirt arm, then rolled it up to his elbow indifferently. Then, he grabbed the americano cup and sipped it a little.

"I mean, why call me with an informal call? We're business partners if you forget," said Nevan coldly, putting the cup back on the table.
