The Past...Ye

37

A few years later.......

Today is Melda's happy day because she will marry Abram, the man who has filled her day - her day both in joy and sorrow these past few years. Runa as his best friend was also happy.

"Congratulations Melda, Abram. I'm happy too." Runa hugged her best friend.

"Thank you, Runa. I also doain you so quickly - quickly following married also..". Runa.

These past few years Runa busied himself with work. He did not think of getting married. Some of the male friends Melda introduced to her she never trusted. Runa did not want to deal with men who would hurt her later.

Runa gets a call from Gevan, because of the atmosphere in the crowded building he decides to take a call outside the building. Because half-hurry he hit someone and made a drink in his hand a little spilled about the suit of the man.

"I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally.." Runa immediately took his handkerchief and tried to remove the stain that was in the suit of that person.

"sorry..". Runa did not dare to look at the person in front of him. This suit looks expensive.

"You can leave your phone number. I'll replace your suit with a new one tomorrow..".

Runa still did not dare to look at the person in front of him.

The man raised his hand. Runa immediately picked up her phone and handed it to the person. Not long after that person returned Runa's phone.

Arsan. His name was Arsan.

"Well Mr. Arsan. After getting your new suit, I'll contact you immediately.."

The man's voice sounded like a chuckle.

"Don't call 'sir'. I sound very old. Why are you just looking down?".

Slowly Runa raised her head staring at this man in front of her still with fear. It turns out that she was young, Inner Runa.

"Call Arsan only..". Runa nodded.

"Oh yeah, what's your name?"

"Runa"

"Well, I'll wait for tomorrow".

Arsan then passed. Runa breathed a long breath. He was really careless.

"Rone...". Arsan's voice surprised him.

Arsan sat down in front of Runa and smiled. Oh my God, why did her smile make Runa's body go limp. If you look at Arsan it is quite charming.

"Have you waited a long time?".

Runa shook her head. It was as if Runa immediately handed over a paper bag containing a new suit for Arsan. "It's a new suit, exactly the same..".

Arsan smiles. "I didn't intend the same new suit. But have I accepted, huh?"

"You have accepted it. That's our business to finish?".

"Who said? Our business is not finished. But I wanted to ask you first. Do you have a boyfriend? Or are you even married?".

Runa looked confused by Arsan's question. "Why am I married or not? You don't be like that?"

"Jawab why the hell?".

Runa shook her head.

"You don't think of anything like that? I have a birthday party invitation for my friend. And even more strangely in that invitation I have to bring a partner....". Arsan hung his sentence there waiting for Runa's reaction.

"So I want to take you to the party. I don't want any misunderstanding because I'm talking to someone else's partner. So do you want me?"

"In a moment, if you pay attention to your look quite okay. But when you don't have a partner? Why should I? We've only met a few times, do you believe that's the same person you just met?"

Arsan just smiled. "Okay, that means you're willing"

Since when did Runa nod in agreement?

"later tonight I'll pick you up at 7. Anda is beautiful". Arsan.

"Eh, but I also have a show tonight I can't". Runa half-screamed as Arsan started moving away.

"Catalin your business. For me!". Arsan smiles and then waves his hand.

"Who is he? Really important? That's a really weird guy, where do you want to pick him up? Does he not know my home address? Let's just...". Runa spoke to herself and smiled to herself.
