The Love of the Culun

Telephone from Ariana

The two feet stepped in the silence, which enveloped his apartment. His gaze turned towards Ariana's room, as both of his legs would rest on the stairs leading to the second floor. Instantly longing enveloped him, when he remembered the figure of Ariana, a woman who had been considered like his own biological sister.

Opening the door that happened to be unlocked, and both feet stepped toward a picture frame of Ariana, which was placed next to her kingsize bed.

Sitting on the side of the bed, with fingers reaching for the picture frame, and looking at him with a meaningful gaze, which holds a lot of longing in it.

A small smile, with fingers gently stroking Ariana's face in the photo that looks cheerful.

"You are the strong woman Araa?! if I were in your position, I would not be as strong as you are living your life as you are living it today. Araa! if you had known, the woman who had been so mean to you all along, and also hated you so much was your real mother, you would have been so hurt. I still can't believe that a woman as good as you was born to an evil woman like Aunt Celine. Is this what destiny presupposes? and I'm so sad to imagine knowing this reality." He muttered, with a facial expression that held a million sorrows in it.

Put the picture frame back in place, and step slowly toward the window of Ariana's room. Slowly his hand opened the hanging curtain, in order to let a little light into it. His gaze was straight ahead, staring at the beauty of the city of Jakarta from the multi-storey building, until the sound of telephones spread Rani's daydream.

Grabbing the phone from his pants pocket, and a smile immediately on his face, when he saw Ariana's name there. Answer the telephone VC, after sliding the green icon on the phone screen.

When the faces of the two collide on the phone screen, Rani immediately smiled, when she saw Ariana's slightly chubby face.

"You're the name, fat Ariana?"

A pouty mimic framed on the face of the young mother-to-be, upon hearing what Rani had said to him.

"Am I getting ugly?"

"No. You are actually getting more beautiful. Even very beautiful.: With a little laugh, when seeing the look of Ariana's upset face.

Araa.." Call Rani, who suddenly turns serious.

"What's up, Miss Rani?"

"If God had predestined you, go back into the arms of your ex-husband. I mean, if fate brings you back into Zain's arms, how about." Rani asks who is trying to trace about the heart of an Ariana, because she also already knows, about the cancellation of the engagement of Zain, and Clara.

Suddenly a small laugh framed Ariana's face, and only she knew the meaning of the laughter. There was a forced laughter, with strokes of sadness mixed into one.

"I've had it in my life," With a turning gaze, on his already bloated stomach.

And I don't need it anymore. Why would I go back with him, if there was no mutual trust between us. Besides, I've been very happy with my new life here, and I've decided to settle down in America."

Rani's gaze immediately intensely stared at Ariana's face, on the screen of the phone.

"You serious?? are you going to stay in Araa America?" He asked, confirming what Ariana had said.

"I've decided to settle in America, because of the many injuries I got while in Jakarta Miss Rani?"

The gasp sounded heavy from Rani's mouth, and she tried to go deeper into exploring Ariana's feelings for Zain at this time.

"Do you still love Zain, Araa?"

"He's the only man I love. Maybe because he was my first love, and also the father of my son. But I've decided to try to kill that feeling, and start a new life in America, with my son."

"Everything's going well Miss Rani, and thank you for this, it's all thanks to you,"

"I did with sincerity Araa? enough you reply while maintaining your health, because after all you are pregnant with my niece. Focus on your lecture, if anything call me."

"Sure Miss Rani, I will definitely always look after your niece. And once again thank you, for everything you give." A small smile, seen on her beautiful face.

"Either. And then I'll end the phone call, because I have work to do. Bye Ariana..?"

"Bye.. Miss Rani..." By coming to grips with it, that VC call.

****

Two days passed.

The night has welcomed the city of Jakarta. The night wind blew the trees that were on the hectare of his house, to make the branches that were dredged with dense leaves slammed down here and there. The cold of the night air, so piercing that night. The gaze was thrown far ahead, staring at the natural beauty behind his house that was so green.

His gaze turned to stare at the two sheets of photos, in his grasp. Where is the photo of USG Ariana, and also a photo of his ex-wife.

"Where are you Araa? where should I look for you, while the world is so vast. Just a few more months you're going to give birth, and I want to accompany you while you're fighting to give birth to our daughter Araa?" Scars of sadness, which were plastered markedly on that handsome face.

There was the sound of the door opening, with footsteps walking up to him.

"Sir.."Call Adam slowly.

"What's Adam?" Turning around, facing the secretary who was behind him.

Adam's gaze stared intensely at the face of the young Master, who looked sad, to make the man could only sigh deeply, due to pity on the handsome businessman.

"How are you, sir?"

Smiling bitterly, when he got the question from Adam.

"Without me answering, you would have known how I was,"

"Patience sir, I am very sure sooner or later you will definitely meet again with Miss Ariana. And I met Miss Bella."

The look of a sad face, immediately seemed enthusiastic when hearing what Adam said just now.

"Say. Does Bella know where Ariana is?"

"I'm sorry, sir. But it seems Miss Ariana doesn't want anyone to know where she is. Even his best friend did not know it. Miss Bella has tried to contact Miss Ariana either through mobile telephones, or social media hers, but absolutely can not. And only one person knows the whereabouts of Miss, Miss Rani. Just Miss Rani, sir?"

A disappointed look framed on the businessman's face, upon hearing what his secretary said. And though she is not sure to ask Rani, when remembering how stubborn Rani is. But in order to find out the whereabouts of the woman he loves, Zain will try to meet the fashion designer.

"We need to see Rani. Though highly unlikely, he told us where Ariana is today."
