💜 Episode 1 ....
Fardhan sat daydreaming in his room, his father had been gone for a week, but his grief was still lingering. Although no tears fell again but the pain of losing the father was still so felt in the recesses of his heart.
"Dhan, Om Gunawan has calmed down now, if you are still lingering in sadness like this, you may even get sick" said Bara while patting Fardhan's shoulder.
Bara was Fardhan's friend from childhood, they lived next door.
From a small they were always both, and Bara's presence seemed to be a booster for Fardhan at this time, although honestly he really expected the lover to be by his side.
"I just don't think about it, why is Dad doing all this? Was he so devastated that he had to lose his fortune? But doesn't he still have me and Mom, what treasure is more valuable than us?" Fardhan spoke with a sorrowful look.
"Don't think like that. Om Gunawan loves you very much, he just can not accept the reality. Now the most important thing is that you get up, don't let sadness make you weak." Bara tried to calm Fardhan down.
"I don't know what to do? Everything was so different without Dad. Poor Mom, she must have been devastated."
" Therefore, Dhan. You can't be like this. You have to be strong to strengthen your mother. And you should know, I'm ready to help you whenever you need me." Bara said sincerely.
"Thank you, Bar."
Bara nodded with a smile.
"Oh yeah, you're not going to Keyla's house." asked Bara who suddenly remembered about her best friend's boyfriend.
"Keyla?" Fardhan frowned in wonder.
"Yes. Don't you know that Keyla's coming home today?"
Fardhan. "No, he didn't say anything. A week ago he called just to say his condolences, nobody said he wanted to go home."
"Well, how weird? And last night he sent me a message and said that today is coming home, I think he also told you."
"Maybe he wants to surprise."
"If she wanted to surprise me, she couldn't have told me. He knows I can't keep secrets."
"Or can he forget." said Fardhan again, he tried to think positively despite his heart was troubled and wondering.
"The hell with your own boyfriend forget? Unless you're intentionally forgotten." Bara sneered.
Fardhan did not reply, he was still trying to calm himself down even though what Bara said managed to pierce his heart.
He realized that the relationship was not as good as during school, since Keyla decided to continue his education abroad, their relationship began to distance. Communication between them only occurs once every three days and even the last year only once a week for reasons of busyness.
But Fardhan's love does not diminish for Keyla, he still loves the woman who has been his lover since from High School, because Keyla is his first love. Even he intends to marry Keyla if the woman returns.
Fardhan moved and left without saying a word. I took a deep breath looking at his best friend.
"Indeed, only Keyla can change her attitude." Bara muttered. He knew where his best friend was going.
***
After learning that Keyla is back, Fardhan decides to go to her lover's house, of course, because he longs and wants to meet her, although in his heart he really wanted to ask why the lover did not give the news of his return?
Fardhan parked his car in the courtyard of the Pramuja family home, next to his car lined with two luxury cars, one of which belonged to Keyla's father, but the other did not know who belonged. It seems that there are guests inside.
"Mas Fardhan." said a surprised security guard when he saw Fardhan get out of his car.
"Which Asep, Keyla has arrived?" ask Fardhan.
"Here, this morning, my. But ...."
"I'm going in first." Fardhan stepped towards the mansion before him without even bothering the security guard, but Mang Asep tried to prevent it.
"Hem, Anu, Mom. Don't come in!"
Fardhan frowned and looked at Mang Asep with a puzzled look. "Well, why can't I come in?
Of course Mang Asep ban makes Fardhan confused, he has been used to in and out of this house since high school, even the Keyla family is very close to him. So what's wrong this time?
"Inside ... inside there is ...." Mang Asep bowed down did not dare to continue his words because he felt bad.
"Well, what's inside, Mang?" fardhan.
"That's anu .. inside there's a guest."
"Oh, yeah, I'll just wait on the porch." Fardhan continued his steps towards the terrace of the mansion, but again Mang Asep tried to prevent it.
"But, Mas ...."
Just at that time a young man came out of the house with Keyla and his parents, they seemed to laugh happily but as soon as Fardhan's presence was seen, Keyla's laughter and her parents faded.
"Fardhan ..." - Keyla muttered softly.
"Key ... You came home and didn't say anything?" asked Fardhan as he walked closer to them.
"Why are you here, haa ...?" salak is a middle-aged man who is none other than Keyla's father, Setyo Pramuja. Fardhan's steps came to a halt instantly.
"I'd like to meet Keyla, Om." Replied Fardhan who was confused to see the change in Setyo's attitude, isn't it usually that the man is very friendly towards him, why is it now so ketus like this?
"I warn you, don't bother Keyla anymore! Soon she will be married to Danar." said Setyo, glancing at the young man standing next to Keyla.
The man smiled triumphantly, while Keyla just looked at him with a sad look.
Like being hit by a boulder, Fardhan's heart suddenly hurt. Sick half-dead, until he couldn't cover it up.
"You better get out of here!" drive Setyo haughty.
"Om, but I love Keyla." Fardhan turned to look at Setyo with reddened eyes.
"Love alone is not enough to make my child happy. What do you want to support my son with? Your spare change?" setyo said with contempt. And that very second Fardhan knew the reason for all this, the bankruptcy of the father became the main mastermind.
Unpersecutedly Fardhan rushed away from the residence of the House of Preachers with hardened jaws, carrying wounds and heartache from humiliation and betrayal. Is wealth and wealth important to everyone? Until they are willing to exchange love and loyalty for all of it. How shiny!
Keyla only looked at Fardhan's departure with a sad face and teary eyes, but she was a realistic woman who thought logically, life was a certainty for her, his future lies in his decision today, which is to accept Danareksa who is the sole heir to the largest property business empire in the country.
"I'm sorry, Dhan." Inwardly Keyla.

💜 Episode 2 ....
Fardhan was driving his car at high speed, his mind was completely muddled, his heart was completely unable to accept all these harsh realities. Just now he felt the pain of losing his father, now he has to go back to pain because he has to lose his lover.
What mistake had he made that fate treated him so cruelly?
His brain memory goes back to the happy times of himself and Keyla, when love was still so beautiful. All of Keyla's sweet words roared back in her ears.
"I love you. We'll get married and have a lot of kids, it'll be nice to see them grow up. Then we'll age together until death do us part."
"Nhhhh ...." Fardhan's shout filled the entire space inside his car, he gripped firmly at the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. Furious, angry and helpless now he felt.
His red eyes now began to heat up and quickly the clear liquid inundated him, but as much as possible he could bear to not fall dripping because he did not want to cry over his defeat and really become a loser.
"If you think treasure can make you happy, then do it! Do what you and your family want." said Fardhan Lirih. The clear liquid was getting more and more and made his vision blurry.
Fardhan rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and did not realize that a woman was crossing the street suddenly and ....
Brak ....
"Oh my God, what am I doing?" Fardhan flinched when he realized his car had hit someone.
In haste Fardhan got out of the car and ascertained how the condition of the victim. Some people have started to crowd.
Fardhan suddenly approached a woman sitting on the asphalt grimacing her feet. "You okay?"
"My legs hurt a lot" said the woman without looking at Fardhan.
"I'm taking you to the hospital."
"No need!." reject the woman.
"But you're injured, I have to drive you to the hospital." Fardhan.
"Yes, Mother. He has to take responsibility, let him go to the hospital." said a man who joined the crowd.
"I'm okay. I'll just go home."
"But ...."
"I want to go home. Please order a taxi." the woman raised her head and looked at Fardhan with a pleading gaze.
Fardhan was stunned to see her beautiful face reddened and filled with sweat, a sharp nose with tiny lips and beautiful eyes. Such a perfect combination like a Barbie doll.
"Hey, why daydream? Would you like to order it or not?"
Fardhan flinched after hearing the woman's voice, nervously offering himself up. "Hem, then let me drive you home."
The woman shook her head. "Please order a taxi."
"alright. I'll order you, now you wait by the road first, it's hot."
The woman nodded and tried to stand up with difficulty, Fardhan helped her by holding the woman's hand.
"Can? Or do I want to help?" fardhan asked just to make sure the woman could walk to the edge.
"I can do it myself. Please get the basket." said the woman while pointing at the shopping cart that was scattered out because it was thrown when she fell. Then he walked with a limp towards the sidewalk that was right under a large, shady tree.
Fardhan also complied and picked up the contents of the scattered groceries and put them back in the basket. Fardhan immediately caught up with the woman and gave her the basket, then he immediately pulled out his phone to order a taxi online.
"Where are you going?" fardhan asked to confirm the woman's purpose.
"To the path of peacock orange number 12."
Fardhan nodded in understanding and immediately typed the address.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't see you" Fardhan said after finishing ordering an online taxi.
"It's okay. I was also wrong for crossing over incautiously." the woman replied while grimacing.
Seeing the woman in pain, Fardhan felt even more guilty. "It hurts so much? Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"
"At least just a sprain, later can be sorted. No need to go to the hospital."
"Oh. Introduce my name ...."
"With Mas Fardhan Gunawan?" a man suddenly approached them, making Fardhan not have time to introduce himself.
Fardhan turned back when he heard his name. "Yes, I'm alone."
"Oh, the taxi's coming?" Fardhan smiled as he realized the man was the online taxi driver he ordered.
"Yes, Mum."
The woman immediately stood up with difficulty, Fardhan swiftly helping her.
"Let me help." Fardhan held the woman's hand.
After standing perfectly, the woman removed her hand from Fardhan's grip and was about to reach for the basket that was still lying near his feet.
"Let me get it." Fardhan took the basket and gave it to him.
"Thank you." the woman again limped back to the taxi that Fardhan had ordered.
"Be careful." replied Fardhan and the woman only nodded twice without turning her head.
After the woman left, Fardhan let out a sigh of relief. He rushes into his car and continues on, but at once the feeling is shattered and the pain strikes him again mercilessly. But this time he didn't let his emotions get over him until he was driving around like he was, he didn't want it to happen again.
