Sincere Love Former Office Girl

A choice

Adhisty was crying and roaring. The incident about the accident 13 years ago was apparently not just a dream.

Adhisty recalled that that day Erlina invited him to attend the inauguration of a famous hotel, which was held by one of the bosses where the mother worked. Somehow Erlina also knew, if Rossane, the wife of Dewandaru, would attend the same event.

Armed with the information, Erlina decides to spy on Rossane from home and tail the woman's car.

Adhisty who does not understand anything just obey the will of the mother. However, Erlina's goal turned out to be more than that. He forces Adhisty to crash into Rossane's car. Adhisty's refusal apparently did not relax Erlina's intentions . He violently took over the wheel and hit the mother's sedan car from his stepbrother to get into the ravine.

Rossane's private driver died on the spot, while Rossane himself was in a coma for five days before dying.

Adhisty rubbed his face many times with trembling hands. The incident when the black car was pushed into the ravine by them, overshadowing Adhisty's memory. His mind was shaken violently. Tears were not even counted so much he cried.

Guilt exploded when they realized that they had destroyed a whole happy family.

Adhisty hugged both knees tightly. He was thinking hard about how to atone for all the sins he had committed in the past. Should he call Arion and confess? Or, just turn yourself in to the police station?

Adhisty raised his head. Yes, she was determined to turn herself in to the police, but the mother also had to account for her actions. Adhisty just needs evidence against Erlina, that Rossane's death was no ordinary accident.

"But what?" the woman's mind.

While he was busy thinking, the ringing sound on his phone broke Adhisty's concentration. The woman was slipping away when Arion's name was on the phone screen.

Adhisty tried to calm the pounding of his mad heart. He tried to brace himself, before picking up Arion's phone very carefully.

"What's up, Ryon?" ask Adhisty without further ado. The woman tried to keep her tone to sound ordinary.

"I've been trying to reach you for a few days, but you never picked it up" Arion said. "Did you know the news about Mama?" tanyanya.

Adhisty took a breath. "Yes, I don't want to be disturbed. About Mama, I already know. However, I wasn't home at the time because I was outside." The woman replied, wiping her tears occasionally.

"Where are you now?" ask Arion.

"Somewhere." Answer Adhisty without telling his location. "Ryon?" call the woman.

"Yes." Yeah."

Adhisty grimaced as he clutched his chest tightly. "I know Mama's mistake has been so great. I never expected you to forgive Mama, just ... Mama ...," the woman could not continue her words.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, before Arion opened his voice again. "You okay? It seems like we haven't had dinner together in a long time. Where are you? Let me go there,"

Hearing this, Adhisty reflexes distanced his phone and smothered his own mouth as hard as possible.

It would feel much better if Arion snapped and berated him at this moment. Not even saying that.

"Sister?" arion's call to her made Adhisty want to scream.

" ... Yes ... my sister," replied Adhisty in a stinging voice.

" ... give me your address, I'll come there" Arion's plea.

"no need. Let me meet you there. That's if you'd like to let him."

"Well, I'll give you the address where I live here," hearing Arion's reply, Adhisty thanked him.

"Then, I'll see you later" Adhisty said, ending the talks.

"Yes. Take care of your. Call me if you need anything,"

Adhisty could only answer with a low murmur. The man ended his phone first. A second after hanging up the phone, Adhisty cried out in tears while saying an apology many times.

Meanwhile, Arion was staring at the screen of his mobile phone.

...***...

Back to work in Mon Amour's shop. The girl was very moved when her friends gave a welcome surprise, and some customers who were eating there also enlivened the small event.

They hugged Sekar in droves and strengthened him.

"Thank you all" said Sekar full of novelty. He bowed his body deeply, while busy wiping away the flowing tears.

"You sure you're okay, Ar?" ask Tristan, the shop owner.

Just nodding enthusiastically. "I'm very sure, sir," he replied.

Tristan smiled gently. "Don't push yourself too hard, huh?"

Now back to nod. Tristan invites Arion and Aiden to lunch there. "Because today is a very happy day, then all the drinks that are here are free."

Cheers from the visitors add to their joyful atmosphere.

"I also want to contribute. Please eat and drink to the fullest, because all is free."

The excitement in the shop grew even more lively after hearing Arion's words. The man whispered to Tristan and asked for help to make some food, to be distributed to the people on the street.

Smile now. "You're troubling Mas Gading and Banyu" he said jokingly.

Arion drew closer. "Shall I come down to the kitchen, too?" timpaly smiled.

...***...

The next night after Sekar finished closing the shop, Arion invited the girl to dinner at a restaurant that was quite luxurious.

"This time, I won't lie" the man said.

Just nod slowly. They broke into the restaurant and entered the private room that Arion had booked earlier.

The two had dinner in a very quiet atmosphere. Every now and then, if Sekar had trouble cutting his food, Arion would swiftly help the girl.

"Thank you" said Sekar after they finished their dinner.

"I'm the one who should be grateful, because you're willing to accept this dinner invitation" replied Arion. The man then reached into the pocket in his suit and took out a medium-sized silver box.

"I want to give this back to the owner." Arion handed the box to Sekar.

Sekar frowned in astonishment. As he remembered, Arion never borrowed any items from him, what else until he had to return the goods.

"What's this?" ask Sekar.

"Open up" Arion said.

Without being asked twice, Sekar opened the silver box. His eyes were aghast when a necklace with the initials 'S' was neatly arranged in the box. He remembers that the necklace was a gift from Arion. Sekar returned it just before leaving the house of Ida.

"This is not mine. I can't take it." Sekar closed the necklace box and pushed it in front of Arion.

"This is yours, and forever will be yours." His eyes looked at Sekar seriously.

Fainthearted. The tip of his finger was busy playing the glass legs that were in front of him. It looks like he is thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" ask Arion who realized the change in the look of Sekar's face.

"Two days ago, Mas Bayu invited me to talk," said Sekar began the conversation.

Arion carefully waited for the girl's next words.

"After the case was over, he invited me to stay with him. Mas Bayu intends to enroll me to a school course there, so that I have a qualified stock." Sekar lowered his head, reluctantly staring at Arion.

"And I .. was convincing myself to agree to Mas Bayu's invitation," said Sekar with a barely audible voice.

Arion squeezed the handkerchief that was on the dining table. Without saying anything, he picked up the necklace box and stood up from the chair.

Sekar. He thought Arion would leave him there. But apparently, the man stood behind his body and opened the box. In silence, he put the necklace initialed 'S' on the neck of Sekar.

"You must be tired. I'll take you home" Arion said after finishing her necklace. He also turned away.

Sekar hurriedly held the man's hand and grasped it tightly. He stood up and leaned his forehead on Arion's broad back. "Just for a second. Can I?" ask the girl.

Arion let out a heavy breath. The man's hand returned the hand of Sekar.
