THE BARA OF THE PAST

Peace With Destiny

For some people, loss always leaves sadness. For some, sadness kills hope. However, for few people, losing equals the chance of knowing sooner is always a replacement story.

Liodra was one of those few people.

His encounter with Ryo opens a wild side in him. Getting married is no longer sacred to her. Getting married can be disastrous, and he is an example of a human being who is a victim of the marriage of his mother and Baskoro.

Sometimes Liodra daydreams, if his mother had not married Baskoro, or if Revano's mother had not fallen in love with Baskoro maybe his life story would have been different. 

Liodra looked at the photo of the man with a distinctive eye gaze and a smile line that was always raised.

Why he had not realized there were similarities Devano and Baskoro. Or is it precisely because they are similar, so that his subconscious is herding his heart to Devano?

His gaze turned to the phone screen when there was an incoming call from someone he knew. It was the call he had been waiting for lately. 

"Hello, Mr Dirga, what's the news for me?"

"I've found Mr. Baskoro's address." 

Liodra. For a moment he was unable to speak. Before getting married, he had hired someone to find out Baskoro's whereabouts.

Liodra wanted to give a surprise gift to himself.

Presenting a biological father as a marriage guardian. However, at that time Mr. Dirga, a former police officer who retired early has not been able to trace the whereabouts of Baskoro. In fact, he got a painful surprise.

"Well Mr Dirga, the address can be sent to my WA? If the address is correct, I will pay the rest. Okay, sir, thank you." 

Liodra turned off his phone. All business needs to be done before he gets back to work. He could not calm down before meeting with Baskoro. What about Devano? According to Ela's story yesterday, Devano is also looking for the whereabouts of his father. Liodra took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. His heart was weighing so as not to make a wrong decision. 

A broken heart will grow stronger. There are some things that are not to be fought for because they are destined to disappear.

The night is scattered between the horizon. Liodra still could not close his eyes. It was only before morning, when his heart was tired of wishing again, that he fell asleep covered in dreams. 

The next morning at the boutique, Ela was busy with a new employee. Three new designers have been hired. Five other employees started their work at 'El Moda'. The new brand that carried his name was already fluttering. The entire boutique order was overhauled and redesigned. El Moda boutique design looks more stylish and fresh. 

All employees have been fired, more precisely given a new job with a larger salary. 

"You'll get double the salary here. New stores later also sell clothes, but more online and more crowded. The conditions are only one. Liodra is now very ill. Let no one disturb him. If anyone breaks, I guarantee you guys I'll fire. Now remove the Liodra number from your phone. I'll give you a new number. Your old numbers should be thrown out. I'll give you an hour to transfer the data to a new number." 

All employees are obedient. The greater salary was the lure to shut the mouths of commoners. They obey the words of Ela, the new boss. Ela pays enough more to Aruni, a senior employee, to keep an eye on her friends. Ela smiled sweetly, one by one the plan went smoothly. 

His hand picked up the phone and searched Devano's name, then typed something.

[Hi Dev, I've found what you want. Can we meet at the seven o'clock Keboen cafe tonight?]

The message was sent and immediately blue ticked. 

[Of course. I'll be there in time.]

The answer from Devano made Ela's heart bloom. 

After finishing her work at the boutique, Ela rushed out. For Devano she has to look beautiful. There is still time to go to the salon. The tall girl drives her car breaking the city's traffic jam to her subscription salon. 

At seven o'clock Devano was already at the Keboen cafe. He can't wait to see Baskoro's picture right away. The photo given by his mother is a photo when Baskoro was still sitting in the High School. Some parts have been eroded and are less clearly visible. With this photo Devano is determined to find his father. 

"Yes, it looks like he's busy preparing for the wedding. Maybe, I mean I don't know for sure. Only my mother and uncle went to his house and his mother told me Liodra was getting married." 

Ela was shocked to hear Devano's words. But he was trying to behave normally. 

"Wow, that fast?" tanyanya while fixing her right earrings. The news was as important as this but Liodra did not tell him. 

"You don't know?" search Devano. 

"Dev, Liodra until now could not be reached. I went to his house a few times and was not found. I think he needs some time after what happened to you yesterday." 

"Yes, I think he just doesn't want to communicate with me. He seems to want to start a new life. Good, I'm glad to hear it."

"You and Zara?" This time Ela couldn't bear to ask the thing that made her fret. 

"I don't want to rush. We're just friends. He'll be having a birthday soon. I'm taking care of the show." 

"You're coming to Zara's birthday? Can I come with you? I'm so bored with this job. Of course if you don't mind." 

"Let me think about it. Because I did not come as an invited guest, so you will definitely be more bored there. Oya, has the picture been sent to me?" ask Devano. 

"Oh, sorry forgot. Okay a minute .. well sent. You see try." Devano took his phone and opened it. His face turned pale after opening WhatsApp. 

"Dev, why? Any issues?" 

"Oh no, it's just ...." Devano rubbed his face. His face looked tense. 

"Dev, what's wrong?"

"Maodra ... "

"Liodra why?" 

"He found Baskoro's address and invited me to come there. Wait a minute, I have to answer Riva first." 

"Okay, I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a second."

Ela rushed to the ladies' room. When he got to the toilet, he picked up his cell phone and called someone. 

"Replace the old man from his house immediately. If you can right now. Move to a place no one knows. Hear you? It's very urgent. Someone will come looking for him. Tell Mbok Tatik to say it's not Baskoro's house. Anyway you arrange everything. Let there not be any trace of Baskoro's existence." 

Ela closed the connection. His chest went up and down, his breath hunting.

"Where does Liodra know Baskoro's address? Has he been looking for her all this time? It turned out that Liodra could secretly act as well." Ela paced back and forth at the door. No one can stop his plan. 

"Gurghhh!" 

Ela grabbed her curly hair. Along with that a call came into his phone. 

Liodra called.
