The flash back
The sound of knocking on the door did not make Alby take his eyes off the files in front of him.
" In."
" I'm sorry, sir, there's someone who wants to see you."
Said Alby's secretary named Vera.
" Who?" alby asked to take a quick look at Vera.
" I want to meet."
The voice of a woman over fifty years old. And to be precise, the woman was the mother of the woman he had loved before. She is Syifa's mother.
" Aunty Yuni."
Alby also signaled to ask Vera to leave herself with the mother of her former lover. Alby was still confused as to why Aunt Yuni suddenly came to him.
" Sorry Aunt, how can I help you?"
Aunt Yuni was still silent, her old face looked tired, and seemed to lack rest.
" Syifa is in the hospital. He's been in there for a few days."
Alby frowned, trying to guess the direction of this conversation. Does Aunt Yuni want to ask her for help? If it was only the material possible sincerely, Alby would give it.
" Then Auntie?"
The view of Aunt Yuni who had earlier glazed over, now looked at Alby. Then his eyes glazed over.
" Can you meet him for a minute? These days Syifa called your name in her sleep. "
Alby gasped at Aunt Yuni's request. It is impossible for him to meet his ex-lover without his wife's knowledge. However Dira is his legal wife, and Syifa is his ex-lover.
Answer Alby later.
" Well, Auntie knows, you and Syifa have broken up long enough. It was two years ago. And you chose your wife, rather than your aunt's son. Syifa has told me everything."
Aunt Yuni paused her speech.
" But can you meet him this time to please him?"
Alby was confused, he did not want to make a rash decision.
" I'll talk to my wife first, Tant. Sorry I can't give you any certainty at this time."
That's the answer Alby gave me. Soon Aunt Yuni was alone, and when she arrived at the door. Aunt Yuni again said that made Alby confused.
" Syifa time is not much else, Aunty just wants to make Aunt's children happy. Aunt please, meet Syifa for a while, give her the happiness she's been dreaming of."
After saying that, Aunt Yuni stepped out of Alby's room. Alby is confused, he can't continue his work anymore. The words of Aunt Yuni were still ringing in her ears.
" What's really going on?" Mumbled.
The days continue to roll, because of their respective busyness, Alby has not yet told about the arrival of Aunt Yuni to his office.
Today, while Alby was meeting with his staff, Aunt Yuni came back to his office. After waiting for almost two hours, Alby who had just walked out of the meeting room was shocked by the arrival of Aunt Yuni.
" Aunty? Been long?"
Alby asked when he saw the old woman sitting on the sofa there.
" When are you going to see him? Auntie hope, you want to see her. That's it."
After saying that, Aunt Yuni left Alby's office. With mixed taste, that afternoon Alby took the time to visit the hospital where Syifa was treated. Having previously asked Aunt Yuni.
Alby knocked on the door of Syifa's room in the hospital. The door opened, and he could see the woman who had become his former lover was asleep in the patient's bed with a pale face.
