When That Sense Is Present

34. Antyka's decision

Antyka's day began to shake after five years arrived just his former sister-in-law asked to meet with Antyka. His life was at peace without worrying about losing the Light. Antyka's biggest worry is just that.

His steps slightly swayed as he was already faced with a black-clothed figure with a large tall posture, a cold face. The man smiled faintly welcoming Antyka's arrival.

"How are you Anty?" Mike gave Antyka a seat. So that he sat face to face.

His former sister-in-law is still the same as before . Although cold Antyka knew he was not a bad person

"Well" Anty said following Mike's direction to sit where Mike wanted to.

"Sorry Anty that I've been interfering with your time. After five years I have contacted you again. Please don't misunderstand me. We try to calm you down and give you freedom. I'm not a good person to telephoto. I mean to meet you. How's the Light doing?"

"Good light, healthy, he also grew well" True Antyka's guess must be the man in front of him has a certain purpose. Antyka is instantly in alert mode.

"Thank you for raising her so well, Anty"

" That's my duty as her momy"

"Ah yes.." Mike looks wrong "Anty, does Light know about Alif?"

For a moment both were silent. Antyka sighed.

" Light knows that she has a Dady named Alif Pradipta" Antyka replied straightforwardly. But her little heart started to get restless

" What did you tell me about Alif?" Mike stared at the full scene.

"I told you his father was working somewhere far away. There's no way I'm telling her Dady left her since she was in the womb" Antyka looked on, recalling the day she had to face Alif's bitter decision.

"So.., Alif did not know that at that time you were pregnant Anty. Sorry.." Mike looked into the man's eyes looking remorseful for Antyka . " I'm sorry Anty, for everything that happened, we found out too late"

"Where is Mr Alif? Why not come alone to see his daughter. Does he hate me so much?"

"Anty, Alif wants to do it. But he knows himself enough. For that he asked me to meet you. Can Alif find the Light?"

"For what? Never think of taking the Light. Until I will defend it. You just want to ..."

" Anty, just meet not to take it. We know your Light is forever. But Light and Alif also have the right to know each other instead"

"No, no brother Mike, I don't want them to meet, I.., I. don't allow it" In Antyka's mind only one as if the Pradipta family would seize the Light.

Mike was still silent seeing Antyka's frightened reaction. Mike knows what Antyka feels like.If he became Antyka would do the same even crazier. Antyka stood looking at Mike sharply, her eyes and face looking a little angry.

"Well Anty, we're not pushy. Don't be afraid, I won't take the Light from you. You think well of Alif's request. Alif just wants to see his daughter. We are waiting for good news from you. Save my number and let us know if you change your mind" Mike dismissed Antyka's tension.

"I'm sorry brother Mike "Antyka left Mike and immediately went home, in his mind only one, wanting to embrace the Light. After five years of struggling to set the heart, make peace with his destiny with people from his past. Now they just want to go back and break the peace.

"What's Anty?" Ibra saw Antyka who was agitated that afternoon after reading a message on her phone. They were in a famous boutique where they ordered a wedding dress.

Antyka is still tight-lipped about her meeting with Mike's ex-sister-in-law. He still keeps the meeting hasn't told anyone. Antyka blinked her clear eyes. I realized Ibra was nearby and found out that she was agitated. Ibra is still waiting for an answer from Antyka.

" It's okay, it's just work" Antyka said, dismissing Ibra's astonishment.

"If it is urgent we can go home now" said Ibra making Antyka feel more guilty.

"you're too kind, brother Ibra, I'm sorry I haven't been able to be frank with you, sorry" Antyka's mind continued to churn.

Antyka shook her head for a moment. Then put on a sweet smile. A smile that makes your heart beat faster.

" We're having lunch first, Ibra, I'm hungry"

" Come "Ibra immediately took Antyka to a restaurant not far from the boutique.

"I orderin your favorite menu yes" Ibra said as they sat inside the restaurant. A waiter records all Ibra orders .

"May" still sit down and back his phone vibrates. A message came in from Mike. Antyka's face changed instantly.

Ibra whose gaze could not be separated from Antyka caught something unusual, Antyka like hiding something from him.

"Anty, what's up. You were just as restless? may I know, maybe I can help solve your problem" Ibra tried to make Antyka open. The man doesn't like it when Antyka hides his problem.

"Sir Ibra, we do need to talk but not now. Anty, have time to explain to Ibra. We'd better just eat after that." Antyka's speech was cut off with Ibra.

"It can't be like that Anty, I can't calm down seeing you fidgeting like this. About the company ? I can solve Anty's problem, tell me?" Ibra is losing patience. He continued to urge Antyka to be forthright.

For a moment Antyka was silent, her attention shifted to the food that was already available. Without answering Ibra's question. Antyka started her lunch. Tired and hungry made him ignore Ibra again, who was still staring with curiosity

" I'm sorry Ibra, Anty hasn't been able to explain everything. Anty knows Ibra must have felt neglected. Anty must be sure first with the decision Anty, then Anty can explain all "

"Sir Ibra can take Antara back home"

" Certainly, without you asking, I must have intervened" replied Ibra flatly. Antyka knew Ibra was still upset by her attitude.

"sister Ibra, thank you" Antyka got off Ibra's car when they got to Antyka's house.

" Anty, give my greetings to the Light. I went straight home"

" Don't go in first?"

Ibra shook her head." I have to go home and report to Mami that we have determined the model of our wedding dress.Thus I must accompany Papi to meet Mr. Smith" Antyka nodded in understanding. He was still standing until Ibra's car disappeared from his sight.

" Mommy...." Caya's hoarse voice sounded spoiled. His tiny mouth pursed, a sign that the little boy was not well.

"Honey Mommy, why?" Antyka immediately gave a hug to her little daughter.

"Oh my God, it feels so comfortable to hug like this. As long as the Light is always with me I will dare to step into the world"

" Anty, since Caya's school came home behaving like that, every time Oma asked her she just shook her head"

"Momy, can my Daddy come home for a while. I want to tell my friend. If my Daddy really existed. Caya just want a photo of both Dady. let Caya's friends believe" Caya stared expectantly at the Momy.

Antyka as if sliced in her heart heard the words Light. He should have been straightforward if Daddy Caya was somewhere. Suddenly a warm liquid melted on Antyka's cheeks.

"I can take pictures with my dad. I'd want a photo with Caya"

" Momy said Daddy was the one who made me born in the world. Dad was someone else who loved Caya. Why is it that Dady I'm not just Momy's dad?. Friends I have a father and mother, mom is equally papa. trus if Caya..., Momy and Dady right?"

"Yes.., Caya. But Daddy Caya is working away not yet able to go home" Antyka confused herself. He only told half the truth about Alif.

"Why..must Momy's remote work? Caya wants Daddy to come home, can be Mommy"

"Momy confused Caya, had to explain how your Daddy left. But it looks like you and Daddy have a strong bond. After your Dady left without news and now wants to meet. Are you also going to leave Momy "

" Listen to Momy, Momy will try to contact your Daddy. But Momy didn't promise that Dady could come. You know Daddy's working for Caya" Only that sentence can come out of Antyka's lips. But luckily Caya stopped her whining. The girl showed off her dimples. He looks happy.

**

Dilanda is worried, as Mike continues to ask permission to bring Light and his Daddy together. Antyka's feelings were so indecisive on the other side Caya did have to meet. On the other hand Antyka was afraid the Light would leave her. His heart would be broken if that happened.

That afternoon after picking up Caya from school. Antyka went to see Ibra. He made a decision about the light. Antyka was already in Ibra's office, waiting for Ibra to finish her work.

As the door opened Antyka turned her head, looking at Ibra with her bright smile.

"It's Antyka's surprise, you're finally visiting me here. I'm so happy" Ibra sat next to Antyka barely spaced out "I'm so tired this day. Thanks for coming, I'm kind of getting a mood booster" Ibra obviously seems happy.

Antyka knew the man in front of her was so happy for her arrival. Maybe it's time he erased the traces of his past. Give the full heart that this man has always guarded.

"Sir Ibra has lunch? Anty brought chicken soup and the favorite shrimp bakwan kak Ibra. If we want to eat together"

"Really.., you just come I'm happy. Thanks for your attention to me"

"Sorry brother Ibra, all this time Anty is selfish, do not keep the feelings of brother Ibra"

Ibra laughed loosely, in the face of Antika's face that looked down. " You're willing to accept me is also Anty's biggest thing. I'm not asking for much from you. Enough of you to be by my side and accompany me all my life. I can do anything to make you happy next to me"

" Where? I'm hungry Anty" Ibra's very enthusiastic. When Antika opened the bag he carried. One by one Antyka was open. The aroma of chicken soup with clear sauce on a hot fried onion sprinkles, crispy shrimp bakwan uploads Ibra's appetite.

"Enak..?" antyka asked when Ibra had put a few spoonfuls of chicken soup in her mouth. Antyka almost shed tears seeing Ibra so enjoying her attention. That was how much Ibra had loved him all this time. Antyka was too blind to notice.

"Enak Anty I like, thank you" said Ibra still continue his feed. But then he stopped bribing as he looked overcast in Antyka's eyes. " You cry...? was there something wrong with me?"

"Sir Ibra.." Antyka hugged Ibra tightly and cried in the chest of Ibra's field. Antyka did not think sanely anymore, a sense of tightness and regret has ignored Ibra for five years now. "I'm sorry.."

Ibra's body stiffened, feeling the sting of a terrible sting in her body. He also could not hold back. He returned Antyka's embrace as if he did not want to part. Ibra's heart was filled with questions and also fear.

"Anty, please don't tell me you don't want to be with me. I beg you if I'm wrong I'll fix it" As scared as Ibra lost Antyka. For Ibra Antyka is an absolute world. The man could only look at one woman.

Antyka shook her head "Anty wouldn't say that. From now on Anty just wants to be with Ibra. Sorry all this time Anty couldn't see the sincerity of Ibra's sister"

"Anty, you're scaring me so much. I love you Anty. Always a lot of sorry for you. I know why you've been acting like that to me all this time. You want to make sure you feel, right?"

Ibra was so overwhelmed with her happy feelings. Finally Antyka really wanted to be with him.

"There's something else Anty wants to say"

Anty unravels her embrace from Ibra. Ibra refused it. " Any minute"

" Our brother Ibra is not halal" said Anty Lirih.

"You started Anty, I'm a mess" Ibra said, letting go of Antyka. Ibra chuckled seeing Antyka blushing. His heart was more turbulent. " Let's get married, I want that barrier gone"

"Eat her spent first, there's something else Anty wants to say"

"Do you want to express love as well" Ibra grew more and more fond of teasing her fiance

"Sister Ibra..."

" Yes I ate" Ibra was again excited to enjoy her lunch. Occasionally the man behaved spoiledly towards Antyka.

Antyka gave Ibra a glass of water. Peel some oranges then feed on Ibra. Ibra looks so enjoyed. The man's feeling seemed to be floating so high. After finishing eating Antyka brought Ibra to leave the office.

"Where?" Ibra followed Antyka's wishes.

"I want to walk with brother Ibra. Dating is possible" Antyka asks Ibra to get in her car.

"I'm the steering wheel, Anty" Ibra said as Antyka sat behind the wheel. "Say where are we going on a date?"

"I want to spend some time with Ibra until the afternoon. It's up to Ibra to take me where"

"Well I'm the one who decides" Ibra said with certainty. "You'll definitely like it"

Then the car drove on splitting the crowded street. Antyka had already given up their date until the afternoon at Ibra's hands.

"Sir Ibra will take me where"

" To a place I would love to go with you. A very special place" Ibra said excitedly.

Ibra dreams of taking Antyka to a place. A place that is the most beautiful memory for both. ...
