Chapter 64

     A sharp look was directed by Rangga as soon as he entered Alvan's workspace. Seen once the anger of the face and the radiance of the net.

     A mocking smile of Alvan was engraved on his face. Seen the radiance of pleasure from his slightly narrowed eyes. Very contrary to his mood with his friend.

"Alvan, can you explain, why are you and your papi putting pressure on my father-in-law's company?" asked Rangga because he was also currently working there. It was clear that his anger was from a different tone of speech than usual.

"Not that I told you, that the company should belong to an orphan girl whose inheritance has been robbed by your father-in-law. He sold all the assets of a man named Darmawan and used his money to open his own company. What a cunning and savage deed!" furious Alvan stared fiercely.

"Do you have any proof that my father-in-law did that?" ask Rangga to challenge.

"Of course we have evidence. You better get away from that family. Why you torture yourself. If I were you, I would divorce Karmila. Maintaining a household that has been destroyed since the beginning is of no use at all" Alvan replied.

"I want to have a household like that. You know, every time I filed for divorce with Karmila, my mom always tried to kill herself. You could have seen your mom kill herself because of our selfishness" said Rangga.

     Aulia was very surprised to hear Rangga's words just now. Now he knows why his ex-girlfriend survived despite knowing his wife's behavior was not right. He felt sorry for Rangga's life at this time. For Aulia, Rangga was a good and loving person to her parents. However, it had left his heart injured and he had continued to endure to this point.

"Yes, I will help you so that your mother can open her eyes what her iron family is like" said Alvan.

"I'd be happy if you could do that" said Rangga.

"I will hasten the destruction of your family-in-law, provided that you cooperate with me," Alvan bargained with a sly smile.

"Find the gap, don't let me also get dragged," replied Rangga.

"Of course, where might I destroy my own best friend," concluded Alvan as he reached out his hand and got a welcome from Rangga.

     After that, the two also made a plan for shares owned by Barata company to fall continuously to the level declared bankrupt. Rangga is also guaranteed not to be excluded from the company if the ownership has been given to Pearl. Alvan believes Rangga will be useful for the company's return later.

     Now Fathir often visited Aulia's house to talk with Joseph's grandfather and Halimah's grandmother. Usually he goes there after he goes home teaching from college. Even so he very rarely met with Aulia because of the purpose of her coming there just to keep the friendship rope and accompany her teacher when she was a child.

"Gus, here, there's a sweet potato sponge made by Aulia. Eat it, you like it too, don't you!" Joseph's grandfather pushed a plate containing several pieces of sponge towards Fathir.

"Thank you, Ustadz." Fathir took one piece and ate it.

"Does Gus still expect Aulia to be a wife?" ask grandfather Yusuf.

"I only pray to God that I will be given the best soul mate in the world until the Hereafter. I don't want to get divorced again" Fathir replied with a small laugh.

"This mouse is just there. Surely many women around Gus today who like. It's just that Gus closed his heart to them" replied Grandma Halimah with a faint smile.

"Say dong, the same one who stole Gus' heart, tell him to turn back Gus' heart," said Halimah's grandmother did not want to lose to reply to Fathir's joke.

"The diploma is just there. We will not know whose heart it wants to anchor to. It's just that I want to make him happy despite seeing him with the others. It is not that the highest stage of love allows him to live happily even though he is not with us. If the poet says love does not have to have each other," explained Fathir.

"Why is it different from Alvan. He once said that love should have each other. We are trying our hardest to make himself happy" refuted Grandma Halimah.

     Hearing Alvan's name, she recalled Aulia's words a few days ago when they met at a mall to buy Annisa's birthday gift for next month. Aulia said the man was only her superior. However, for Fathir that the man sitting in the wheelchair had a special feeling for Aulia.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Aulia as soon as she entered the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied everyone. Aulia also greeted Joseph's grandfather and Halima's grandmother.

"Is Gus Fathir here? Has it been a while?" ask Aulia.

"After Ba'da Ashar was here. Tumben's coming home at this hour?" ask Fathir.

"All work is done faster. So, my boss also came home a bit earlier," Aulia replied before saying goodbye to her room.

      Fathir's heart is still beating fast if it is close to Aulia. His love for the heart thief has never changed, still as he once did.

     Alvan deliberately went home early because the therapy schedule is now changed to afternoon because the afternoon or morning is very busy and can not be left behind. Now Alvan is accompanied by two people walking on the iron handle left and right. He walked there back and forth. Now he can move his legs even though his hands.

"Good, Sir. Very rapid progress. Why haven't you been doing this therapy?" said the companion was satisfied.

"I have a special reason. Be it or now" said Alvan with sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Now, you try to walk with a slit holding on to an iron pole," the therapist said.

     Alvan tried to walk with a hand holding on to the iron bars and he had a hard time. His path is not yet balanced, if he rests with one hand.

"Don't force it first, sir. If you currently still have to use both hands, in order to stand up and walk in a balanced way," said the therapist's body holding Alvan's body will be dropped.

"I have to hurry and get back" said Alvan.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" ask the therapist in surprise.
