The Angel Behind the Veil

Redeeming an Old House

When he arrived in front of the Arya housing complex, Cantika asked Mr. Rohim to stop his car.

"Sorry Dad at this time I have not been able to introduce Father to Arya, and in that house there is also Bi Assusi who is like Mother to Arya. I need to find the right time to be able to tell them everything." Cantika said carefully so as not to offend Mr. Rohim.

"No problem, son, dare yourself to tell Arya everything. I'm sure he'll understand your situation."

"Yes Dad, assalamu'alaikum." Cantika greeted Mr. Rohim while kissing the back of his hand.

"awa'alaikumussalam Nak." Mr. Rohim felt like dreaming, even knowing his wife was pregnant was not but now stood a righteous girl in front of him." apak Rohim looked at Cantika who was walking into the compound until Cantika disappeared from his sight.

After leaving the area of the Aryan complex, Mr. Rohim directed his car to his old house. The house where she and Cantika's mother once enjoyed happiness for a month, the house where her daughter was born and grew up.

Mr. Rohim saw at the gate that the house was written that it belonged to the Bank.

"So no one's buying this house yet, then I'll make it up to you." Mr. Rohim could not let the house full of memories escape from him and Cantika.

Mr. Rohim went straight to the Bank and redeemed the house again in the name of Aisyah Cantika.

Arriving at Cantika's house was shocked to see Arya who usually came home at night was already at home and chatting casually on the sofa with Bi Susi.

"Tumben came home Ar noon." Cantika said then sat next to Bi Susi.

"I don't have any patients and if I'm there, there are a lot of great doctors. I missed lunch at home so I went home. Oh yeah you're from where Bi Susi said you just said you wanted to go out and not tell me where."

"Maybe in the future I will go out more often, I get a job at a printing company."

"No, I'm pretty good here. But I want to be independent, even though the salary I get is not big but at least it's the result of my own hard work." Cantika feels grateful Arya did not ask what her job is otherwise I don't know how many lies Cantika will give Arya. No, Cantika has to find time to tell Arya everything.

Arya still does not understand why Cantika wants to work but Bi Susi has said.

"Yes Nak Arya, Nak Cantika also needs space for himself. We can't keep him inside the house. Let him work."

"Alright but remember that if you are tired from your work you just stop I can still live you."

Arya's words of sophistication put Cantika to shame and thought why Arya should live it whether they are husband and wife?

Bi Susi even shook her head while smiling at the words of Arya.

Arya who just realized her words immediately got nervous and explained. "No, that's not what I mean, a. I just don't have the heart to see Cantika'an'an slovenly while I as a friend can still help her."

"really? not because you really want to live forever with Nak Cantika?" Bi Susi's temptation makes Arya and Cantika feel awkward.

"I'll serve you food." Cantika said as she entered the kitchen avoiding the awkwardness earlier.

"Look at her so embarrassed, come on, tell her how you feel about her, Auntie's sure she loves you too." Bi Susi told Arya.

"Surely, I will definitely reveal my feelings to her soon."

Arya decides to find time to confess her love to Cantika.
