THE BARA OF THE PAST

Never Have

"That house that your father would buy to make a villa?" devano asked after receiving one photo from Zara. He could not wait to find out more details about the white house. Zara immediately contacted him by phone. 

"Yes, the plan is so." Zara's voice drowned as she was on her way.

"Do you know who the owner is?" ask Devano again.

"This is papa already hold a copy of his certificate. In the name of Baskoro Setyadi. Why Dev?" Zara was a little strange to hear her lover's question.

Devano spontaneously hit the table violently. 

"Ehm, no, the house is cool. It looks like it is suitable for a villa. Good, if you know the owner. So you've met the owner directly?" devano.

"His owner said he was sick. We met Mr. Baskoro's confidant. His name is Mr. Cecep. He has worked for Pak Baskoro for decades. Mr. Cecep is also in charge of some tea plantations belonging to Mr. Baskoro."

Zara knows a lot because her papa did involve her in the sale and purchase transaction plan.

"Sir Baskoro lives in that house?" Devano couldn't help but ask 

"Usually yes, but because he is sick he is now in Pangandaran. It is a kind of alternative medicine. Why, Dev? You seem very interested in Mr Baskoro?" Zara is starting to feel strange. It's not usual for Devano to ask this much about his work.

"Ah, no. I mean, I've been trading with the second party a lot. The first party didn't even know. I'm sure your papa will not be rash, it's just better to be vigilant and careful if the transaction is not with the owner directly. The owner is sick." Devano tries to explain to Zara that he is not suspicious. 

"yes too. Especially the price is below the market. Gosh, you gotta be careful of this. I'll let you know this input from you, Dev." Zara finally understood what Devano meant.

"If you can your papa should meet with Mr. Baskoro and know his condition" added Devano. 

"Okay, how are you today? So hang out with friends?" Zara tried to divert the conversation.

"Lazy. I miss you. Tomorrow we meet, there's something important I want to say." Inevitably Devano must be honest with Zara.

"Duh so gnarly, what's wrong, huh? It's serious" Zara replied.

"See you tomorrow, sweetie."

Devano ended the conversation despite Zara shouting out her name. 

The house belonged to Baskoro Setyadi. Why was it that when Liodra asked a woman, the housekeeper said it was not Baskoro's house?

Looks like there's something to be covered about Baskoro. Who is the one who meddles in the affairs of him, Liodra and Baskoro. Whoever he is has a certain purpose? His brain was covered in a big question mark.

When he and Liodra asked RT Chairman about the owner of the white house, who came out was his wife and said he did not know about the house.

Slowly Devano began to realize something was wrong. His face looked up at the ceiling of his study. There is one mystery that he must solve. He got up from the chair and grabbed the car keys to meet someone. A moment later his black car was already racing against the traffic jam of the Metropolitan city.

The biggest worry of a man before marriage is the fear of failure. It was felt by Ryo Gibran. The young man could not do much to win Liodra's heart. His heart was overwhelmed with anxiety. The wedding is three days away.

There's nervousness, fear, and worry that things aren't going the way they want. Ryo decides to relieve stress at a nightclub. After the wedding she was determined not to come to this place again. With Liodra, he was ready to start from the beginning. 

Ryo knows he's not a good guy. His experience with women is not something to be proud of. Ryo was once branded leaving his fiancee for the sake of another woman. A woman who loves him with full love. Unfortunately, the woman did not live long.

Leukemia took his life. In order to give hope to the woman, Ryo has to lose his fiancee. 

The young tyrant thought he was destined to live with Liodra. He came at the right time. Almost without struggle. Isn't something that is easy to get lost too?

Thinking about it Ryo became stressed himself. Liodra's not giving him a chance to do anything right now. Even this week Liodra refused to be contacted because he wanted to be alone. What if Liodra changes his mind ahead of the wedding?

Tired of struggling with his own thoughts Ryo arrived at the discotheque where he used to gather with his friends. 

"Hi Rose, would you like me to drink?  Maybe this is the last night I came here. I want to be married in three days." 

"For the bride-to-be. A real man who will soon be a husband. You're cool. It takes more than courage to be a husband, Men."

Rio received a drink from the brunette girl. "Do I know you, Miss?" tanyanya while receiving a glass containing drinks. 

"I heard you talking to Rose just now. May I accompany you to spend the last night here?" ask the girl who looks sexy with blue hotpants and pink tanktop that shows her shoulders.

Ryo raised his glass. The blonde haired girl raised her glass to welcome Ryo's glass. 

Ting!

The clink of the glass clashed followed the view of the two. One glass is never enough to be with a woman. 

"I'm Emma, I'm pouring you another glass of whisky. Take it easy, it's the last night" he whispered with a mischievous look. 

Ryo smiled at Emma who looked so beautiful. I don't know maybe the feeling alone, because Liodra is actually more beautiful. Alcohol began to grab his consciousness.

The sound of music stomping, humans with the contortion of his body increasingly make Ryo dizzy. Emma acted quickly. He takes Ryo out of the Club. Ryo's staggering body was led into the car. Half-conscious Ryo shook his head to see a car that did not belong to him. Emma pushes Ryo's body into the back seat, then drives the white car at high speed. 

On the way, he called someone. There was a woman's voice across the phone. 

"Target is locked. Now we're heading to the location." Emma reported the results of her work to the woman on the other end of the phone.

[Do we believe in the do'a-do'a rising up into the sky?  Do'a who groans from a sick heart. I once wanted to scream, but I held back even though my chest felt tight.]

Update to Instagram. 

[Do we trust the do'a-do'a who ascends to the Lord's side? Do'a that straddles from a restrained sense. I wanted to stir up and stir up, but ended up choosing an elegant path. I just kept quiet. Quietly praying. Tears seemed to have been more than enough shed all this time. To betrayal I kept looking for answers. To God's message of the failure of marriage, I believe there is hidden wisdom.]

Update the status on Instagram. 

Liodra spent his days in the room. She wasn't as enthusiastic as yesterday in preparation for her wedding this time. It doesn't feel like three more days of the wedding will be held. One or two words of his heart were posted on Instagram, then the girl smiled. 

Girls are now more resigned and surrender. His life felt light after getting rid of the grudge that had been like a fiery red flame in his chest. The fire that kept burning his conscience. Yesterday he had thought Ela's crimes would not be forgiven. He's still a human, not an angel who so easily erases that hate.

 

The more Liodra tried to get rid of his heartache, the more unhappy he felt. Everything he has to accept. There's no way back.  Losing for loss made him realize that he really does not have anything. Turns out the hardest part of accepting destiny is getting used to never having. 

The turning point of his life journey is about to begin. She had already asked Ryo not to contact her. Liodra wants to be alone until the wedding day arrives. Like tonight, dialogue with himself. 

I heard the door of his room knocking from outside. 

"Come in" he replied slowly. The dewanti entered with a worried face.

"Liodra, when did you last communicate with Ryo?" Dewanti was very careful about asking for Ryo's whereabouts.

"Ryo still chatted a week ago. Why, Ma?" Liodra immediately knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the look on his mother's serious face. 

"Darling, you calm down. Mama and Auntie Tari are figuring out where Ryo is. Last night Ryo didn't come home and couldn't be contacted." Dewanti tried to calm Liodra down, but what sounded like she was calming herself down. 

"So Rio's missing?" 

Silent.

Liodra. He shook his head violently to shake his feelings, then hugged his silent chest.
